He's taking his geeky awkwardness behind the scenes!

Michael Cera, who has somehow managed to play George Michael Bluth in anything he's ever been in ever, will be producing a new comedy series for FX called 13th Grade!

The show, which will co-executive produced by Cera, Derek Waters, and Hung writer Emily Kapnek, will involve a high school graduate stuck "in the limbo between childhood and adulthood."

Ha! That's actually a pretty funny - and all too relatable for most - idea for a show!

Like Ghost World the series!

Cera will be co-writing the pilot's script with Paige Gullivan, and Waters will star!

We'll DEFINITELY be tuning in! It sounds like it could be HIGHlarious!

Thoughts??

Or so they say! At this point, we've been messed around with so much, we don't know what to believe. We're just holding onto hope against hope that this will see the light of day!

All anybody really wants to see in theaters right now is Inception an Arrested Development movie and we've got some news that hopefully means the project is coming to fruition.

Last night, at the Television Critics Awards, creator Mitch Hurwitz had this to say:

"We're writing it; we’re halfway through…The reason I’ve been so cagey is fans have been so [eager about it]. I really want to do it…It’s not going to be a big money maker…It’s going to be fun, like a family reunion. The only stumbling block could be scheduling. Everybody wants to play together."

Well, the faster you move your ass with the script, the easier it will be to coordinate.

Step it up, Mitch! Time is money…and the more time you spend NOT finishing this script, the less money there will be when you finally do.

A Rambo prequel, eh? We are so intrigued!

In an effort to promote The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone hit the pages of Ain’t It Cool News, where he wrote about the possibility of a Rambo prequel:

“I certainly think this is worth pondering because it’s intriguing to find the whys and wherefores of how people have come to become what they are.”

He continued with:

“The traumas, the loss, and the tragedy of being in Vietnam would certainly be a great challenge for a young actor, and it would be ironic that Rambo directs younger Rambo after having played it for 20 plus years.”

That’s all fine and dandy, but we’re interested in exploring potential actors for young Rambo. Here are some initial thoughts:

Zac Efron - Of course guys want to see Rambo movies, but add Zac into the equation, and Rambo now attracts a drastically wider audience. Provocative, right?

Michael Cera - This would be insanely off-type for him. Sure, it might be a disaster, but if it worked out? Epic.

and our #1 Pick….

TAYLOR LAUTNER - Because he’s totally ripped and we know from the Twilight movies that he can navigate the woods. What do you think?

The stars of MTV's Jersey Shore have already captured America's heart…

Now the self-proclaimed guidos have gotten to Michael Cera!!!!

Hair gel wizard Pauly D put his magic fingers to work and gave the Youth In Revolt star his very own Ed Hardy-wearin', house music-blastin', fist bumpin' Jersey Shore makeover!!!

LOLs!

So sad!

Although the Arrested Development movie was pretty much confirmed, it turns out that our dream of once again visiting the Bluth Frozen Banana Stand, may be crushed!

Executive producer Mitch Hurwitz was hesitant to begin writing the script as he did not know which cast members would return, but when Michael Cera signed on in February, the process was to begin!

"I don't think Mitch is gonna do it," says an insider, who believes that the producer has not begun writing. "It seems like he's moving off the idea. So much time has passed."

Hurwitz has been busy with several pilot projects, including the animated disaster Sit Down, Shut Up and the hopeful comedy with Arrested alum Will Arnett.

We have one priority: Save the Bluths!

Interesting!

Earlier, we mentioned reports had stated Michael Cera had broken up with Paper Heart co-star and long-time sweetie Charlyne Yi. 

Not so, according to Yi, who just revealed in an interview today that:

"We weren't dating at the time [laughs]…or ever.  I also heard that we broke up [laughs].  Someone sent me an article that said I was really sad.  It says that I'm sad that we're touring together.  But he's in actually in Toronto right now filming a movie called Scott Pilgrim, so that's interesting [laughs]."

And there you have it!

Hey, at least she can laugh it off.

Michael Cera has called it quits with his girlfriend of three years, actress Charlyne Yi.

Apparently all the new female attention Cera's work has garnered has led the actor's eye to wander and he wants to date around a little bit.

Yi is said to be heartbroken, especially since the pair are about to embark on a promotional tour for their upcoming mockumentary Paper Heart.

Bummer.

Don't forget those who loved you before you became famous Cera!
