Sorry, Ioan Gruffudd, but it looks like somebody else is going to take over the title of Mr. Fantastic.

As seems to be the case with every franchise these days, Fantastic Four is getting the reboot treatment, and the casting rumors have begun for some of the lead roles.

The top two contenders for Mr. Fantastic are Adrien Brody and Jonathan “Crazy Eyes” Rhys Meyers. Both certainly seem like intriguing picks for the lead character, but perhaps Brody comes across as a more likable superhero than troubled Rhys Meyers. Guess we’ll see.

As far as the Invisible Woman role is concerned, two names currently being thrown around are Alice Eve and Amber Heard.

Eve recently quit X-Men: First Class, so we only hope she’ll stick to her word if she lands this role. Her competition, Amber Heard, was also up for a role in the new X-Men, but she lost out to Jennifer Lawrence. Maybe you’ll have better luck this time, Amber!

The only other name floating around at the moment is Kevin Pennington, for the Human Torch role. Pennington is known for his 4-episode run on 90210, and he also played an uncredited party stud in the 2009 comedy Miss March.

We wish you all the best of luck but mostly Adrien Brody!

Are U on Team Brody or Team Crazy Eyes?

As we previously reported, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is returning to London to check into rehab for his alcohol addiction.

The reason for his sudden decision is that his drunken tirade at the airport was his girlfriend's last straw.

Heiress Reena Hammer told Myers either "check into rehab or I'm dumping you." And she's got a lot of pull! The two have been dating for about six years.

"She has told him to get serious counselling for his drink and anger problems or else she will be taking a hike - out of his life," claims a source.

Let's just hope he gets the help he needs this time - for his sake!

After his recent drunken racist tirade, Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers will return to London for another stint in rehab.

This will be his FOURTH attempt!

"He just really wants to get better. This has been an ongoing battle for him," claims a source close to the actor.

Poor guy just needs to get his shiz together!

It's time to get serious, honey.

Yikes!

Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was banned from flying United after throwing back too many drinks, which prompted him to drop the "N" word at the airline workers!

He was drinking vodka and the flight was before 7AM!

This isn't the first time he's behaved badly after boozing. He was arrested for being drunk and in breach of peace back in 2007 in Dublin only 7 months after his second stint in rehab.

And in June 2009 he allegedly attacked staff at a bar in Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport just after he got out of rehab a THIRD time!

Sounds like someone needs yet another trip to rehab!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers obviously hates flying!

After another stint in rehab from previous altercation at a French airport in 2009, The Tudors star has been banned from flying United Airlines after a drunken outburst on a flight from JFK airport in New York to Los Angeles.

Airline workers noticed that he was "pounding drinks" during an early morning flight and was becoming increasingly "belligerent" and "disruptive" and his behavior "was getting out of control."

He has now had THREE drunken incidents at airports. Do you think third time's the charm for rehab???

We think that delish Jonathan Rhys Meyers has something to do with this!

Showtime's The Tudors started it's fourth and final season on Sunday and the show pulled in great ratings for it's final premiere.

It averaged a combined 1.1 million viewers for its two airings on April 11, which was up 22% from the season three premiere. The show averaged 883,000 viewers at 9pm and an additional 219,000 at 11pm.

Nice work! Keep it up and you'll be going out on top!
