The box office smash hit “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” sings and shakes its way to Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack, “Squeak-Along” double DVD, and DVD Single Disc March 30th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. A follow-up to 2007´s “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” Chipmunk singing sensations Alvin, Simon and Theodore are back for an encore in this hilarious “squeakquel” packed with over an hour more of music.

When a concert mishap lands Dave in the hospital, the Chipmunks take a break from superstardom and enroll in school to fit in with kids their age. But they soon face some stiff competition when they meet the Chipettes — a beautiful, talented trio of chipmunks discovered by Ian, the boys´ evil ex-manager!

I have just added 5 HQ scans from Anna’s issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. You can see them by clicking on the thumbnails below!

Anna is featured on the cover and inside the February 2010 issue of “Cosmopolitan” magazine!

The magazine named her the Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Female of the Year – “She makes us laugh — and cringe — by pushing the limits of comedy in a way no other actress can. That balls-out confidence (plus the fact that she’s such a babe) makes her the Cosmo girl to watch in 2010.”

You can preview the article and watch a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot below! Anna looks amazing!

Not to sound creepy, but we’re following Anna Faris into her bedroom…or trying to, at least. “I have to show you something!” she shouts as she leaps over a doggy gate. Once we catch up, she sprints past the bed she shares with her husband, actor Chris Pratt, opens her closet, and retrieves a pair of 6-inch bedazzled red patent leather heels.

“Every woman needs a pair,” Anna says as she holds up the soft-core-porn equivalent of Dorothy’s ruby slippers, “and Chris totally loves it when I wear them.”

Anna is, of course, joking around (about the first part, not the second). The shoes were part of her wardrobe when she played an ex-Playboy Playmate in the movie The House Bunny, but tonight, Anna’s outfit is a little more low-key: a tee shirt and jeans underneath a greenstriped apron, with her hair pulled into a loose whiteblond bun. As we walk back to the kitchen of her cozy home—she’s roasting us a chicken for dinner—we notice an actual cat skeleton posed on her mantle not far from photographs of her gorgeous mom. Uh, who does that?

That’s also a question you might ask yourself while watching one of Anna’s audacious performances. And the answer is: Nobody but her.

For the complete Cosmo interview with Anna Faris, pickup the February issue, on newsstands now!

New Walt Disney chief Rich Ross has put “Wedding Banned,” a romantic comedy to have starred Robin Williams, Anna Faris and Diane Keaton, into turnaround.

Mandeville Films, the production company behind the film, is free to shop it around town to other studios.

“Banned” tells the story of a long-divorced couple (Williams and Keaton) who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, one factor in the decision was the poor showing of the Robin Williams/John Travolta comedy “Old Dogs,” which has grossed just $35 million since its November 25 opening.

I’ve added 308 captures of Anna from her interview on “It’s On with Alexa Chung” which happened in September to promote “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. The interview was very cute and Anna was very funny!

You can see the captures by clicking on the thumbnails below…

Today, November 29th, is Anna’s 33rd birthday! I would love to wish Anna an amazing day today!

Feel free to leave your birthday messages in the “comments” section of this post.

“Scary Movie” actress Anna Faris is in negotiations to star as Robin Williams’ daughter in “Wedding Banned,” a Disney romantic comedy.

“Banned” revolves around a long-divorced couple who kidnap their daughter (Faris) on her wedding day to prevent her from making the same mistakes they did. The parents rekindle their relationship as they elude cops and the angry groom.

Williams is on board as the father; the mother has not been cast. The project has no director attached.

Faris recently signed to star with Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake in “Yogi Bear” for Warner Bros. She can be heard in Sony’s animated “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”
