• Movie newz: Hudson & Cheadle

  Don Cheadle, who may be best known for his dramatic turns in movies such as Reign Over Me, Talk to Me, and Hotel Rwanda has signed on to join Emma Roberts in the family movie, Hotel for Dogs. Perhaps Hotel for Dogs wil be a message movie after all. Or perhaps Cheadle just needs to be in something light for a change.

  Also,Sex and The City: The Movie has a new character in the form of Jennifer Hudson. The Oscar-winning Effie will play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant. Say, we're writers living in a big city. We could use an assistant. Maybe she wants to work for us instead?

• Hollywood goes to the 'Dogs'

  Hollywood seems to have canine-brain this week, and who can blame it?

  Julia Roberts' niece, actress Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew, Aquamarine), will be starring in Hotel for Dogs, a live-action kids' flick about two teen orphans who hide stray dogs in an abandoned hotel. Jeff Lowell (John Tucker Must Die) adapted the script from the 1971 novel by Lois Duncan. It will be the feature directoral debut of Thor Freudenthal.

  Bernie Mac (Transformers, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle) will be adding his comedic talents to Old Dogs, the John Travolta-Robin Williams comedy about two middle-aged men who find themselves in the charge of 7-year-old twins. Mac will play "Johnny Lunchbox," a puppeteer with Barney-like status among kids.
