Ooooh, we like her!!

Rebecca Hall is in talks to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 3.

While we love the Oscars, Golden Globes, and Grammys, The Comedy Awards will offer a nice break from the snooty shows!

The nominees for the 2012 Comedy Awards have been released and Modern Family, 30 Rock, Bridesmaids, Crazy, Stupid, Love., and Louis C.K. lead the group with five nominations each.

Modern Family took home the best TV series gold last year and 30 Rock is back to try to snatch it away this year, along with Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks and Rec, and newbie Happy Endings.

Bridesmaids has been mostly snubbed this awards season but they have several opportunities to take home some hardware with nods in Best Comedy, Best Film Director, Best Screenplay and a catfight for best actress between Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig.

Isn't that inneresting.

Today, key witness CBS Chairman Les Moonves testified in the ongoing trial between Dick Clark Productions and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, claiming that his network was more than ready to pay big $$$ to get the Golden Globes on their network.

In his written deposition submitted to the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Moonves revealed that his team was ready to pay between $25 and $30 million for the broadcast, a significant higher rate that the $21 million NBC pays annually. When asked again about the price point, Moonves said:

Looks like this Emmy/Golden Globe award-winning series now has another OSCAR winning actress!

We've just learned that Shirley MacLaine has joined the cast of Downton Abbey for its third season, which premieres on UK network ITV this fall! U.S. audiences will be able to check out the show on PBS' Masterpiece Classic in early 2013.
