Quentin Tarantino Gets Smurfing Smurfy in 'Smurfs'

Quentin Tarantino may not have won an Oscar last Sunday, but according to IGN, he won a role in Raja Gosnell's live-action movie The Smurfs instead. Small consolation, there, I guess. Tarantino will be joining a cast that includes Neil Patrick Harris, certifiably insane comedy legend Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf and part-time lesbian Katy Perry as Smurfette. Tarantino will of course be playing the most annoying smurf of them all -- Brainy Smurf.
 
Quentin sure gets around, he's everywhere, when does this guy sleep?:confused:

FRANKLIN, Tenn. – A judge has ordered a temporary injunction against the ex-husband of country singer Sara Evans.

Monday's ruling prevents Craig Schelske (SHEL-skee) from making any more public statements about his ex-wife or the reasons behind their 2007 divorce.

Evans received a temporary restraining order last month after Schelske made comments about their divorce while testifying about a possible new law in front of the Tennessee Legislature and on Nashville talk radio.

Williamson County Judge James G. Martin III also ordered Schelske to pay damages as determined by an arbitrator.

Evans filed for divorce in 2006 after abruptly dropping out of "Dancing With the Stars." The couple's 2007 divorce agreement included a confidentiality agreement.
