Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Actor Crispin Glover has been cast in the lead role of the indie horror movie The I Scream Man.  Glover, best known for his role as George McFly in the Back to the Future movies, will play an ice cream man who takes out vengeance on a small town.  In related new, actor Danny Glover still can’t get a damn taxi.

• The brains (and most of the talent) behind the Gorillaz has said there won’t be another album from the fictional group, however there may be a soundtrack. Damon Albarn said that he is currently working on a film featuring the cartoon members of the band and continued to say that an accompanying soundtrack will be produced. The plot of the movie is said to be “autobiographical in nature,” with the band being continually confused with the band Bush, and how they deal with that on a day to day basis.

• Russell Simmons, co-founder of the hip-hop label Def Jam Records, is lobbying the recording industry to stop using certain words he has deemed “extreme curse words.”  Simmons said that three words in particular, “H*,” “B***h” and “N****r” should never be used in a recording and has asked the industry to police itself.  If this action succeeds, it is expected that Simmons will next go after the words “A*s L****r,” “F*****g” and “X*******e.”
