Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Gus Van Sant has been attached to direct a film adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. The book, which is a true account of a cross country trip by author Ken Kesey, focuses on extreme drug use.  At this time no actors have actually been cast, but producers are expected to give the Kool-Aid Man a minor cameo appearance.

• It has been announced that Director Tim Story, whose Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer opens this week, will direct a movie based on another comic book, The Losers.  Story has said that the movie will stick closely to the comic book and will be about a rag-tag group of betrayed soldiers, and not comic book fans.

• It appears Kate Moss is looking for a fight with singer Amy Winehouse. Moss allegedly had Winehouse’s husband thrown out of a VIP tent at the recent Isle of Wight festival. Responding to the slight against her and her husband, Winehouse has proposed a challenge to Moss to settle the rift before it gets worse – the first one to shoot 50 kilograms of junk into their eye socket wins.
