It's about time!

We're shocked Tom Hanks doesn't have a caricature on display on Sardi's famous walls, but finally the big moment has arrived.

And it's a damn good pic!

Although it's clearly based on the non-mustache sporting Tom, the caricature is flawless!

And since his wife, Rita Wilson, already has one of her own, we're pleased their caricatures can live a happy life together on the wall.

Maybe they'll even have little caricature babies now! LOLz!

The Tony Award nominee list is out! And it looks like this just might be Cyndi Lauper’s year! Her musical collaboration with Harvey Fierstein, resulting in the new Broadway hit Kinky Boots, is garnering quite the attention with 13 Tony nominations!

What’s more? Tweens are dominating the musical theater awards with 12 nods for Matilda, 10 for Pippin and 9 for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella!

But we’re have to admit we’re a little stumped by the play nominees! While Tom Hanks has got himself a Best Actor in a Play nomination, that list is looking a little empty. Where’s Al Pacino?! As for the ladies, no Bette Midler?!

Ch-ch-check out the full nomination list…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Five cheers for Justin Timberlake's freshly-minted FIVE STINTS as a host on Saturday Night Live!

The musician turned actor, who has always managed to tickle our funny bones on the long-running sketch comedy series, hit the milestone during his latest appearance last night, and in honor of the occasion, dedicated his entire opening monologue to reaping all the benefits of belonging to such an exclusive group of individuals…ALONGSIDE fellow inductees Paul Simon, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, and Candace Bergen!

OH! And Martin Short was there, too!

But mostly, we assume, so The Three Amigos would be all together in one room!

LOLz!

Ch-ch-check it out (above), as well as some of Justin's best sketches last night, including the much-anticipated return of Andy Samberg for a Dick in a Box reunion, porn stars selling champagne, pretty much every romantic comedy ever, and what we will only describe as "Maine Justice"…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

The rumors of Toy Story 4 are flying higher than Buzz Lightyear, but Disney still won't say if they'll be going to infinity and beyond with another installment.

The latest in Toy Story news came on Monday when Colombian radio executive Jorge Balaguera tweeted:

Oh, Tommy boy! You POOR guy!

First, the supposedly-epic Cloud Atlas gets absolutely no award season love and, now, your brand new Broadway play might be D.O.A!

Tom Hanks' Lucky Guy doesn't open for another few months, but early sales figures are verging on the mediocre!

Ruh-roh!!

One would think a stageplay written by the late Nora Ephron and featuring one of Hollywood's most legendary actors would be a surefire success!

Unfortunately, while screen stars like Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman once smashed Broadway's box-offices, the novelty is evidently wearing off.

Need proof? Just look to the abysmally received Katie Holmes' dramz, Dead Accounts!

Even worse, some suggest the man who played Forrest Gump is yesterday's news! Noooo! Blasphemy!

Lucky Guy doesn't debut until March, so there's plenty of time to turn around those pre-sale numbers!

We can only assume he's playing a dashing young John F. Kennedy… or at least one of his equally handsome brothers!

Our imaginary boyfriend Zac Efron has signed on to a brand new JFK movie called Parkland, which focuses on the events that occured at the Parkland hospital in Dallas the day JFK got shot.

The flick also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thornton and Jacki Weaver!

Parkland will be written and directed by journalist/novelist Peter Landesman and is being produced by Tom Hanks' company, Playtone.

It's so exciting to witness Zac's transition from tween musical heartthrob to legit, oscar-track film actor, and we must say…

You still look MIGHTY sexy when you're being oh so serious, Zac!

Erraybody LOVES Tom Hanks!

Of course, that could always change.

The actor is a worried that his rep as coolest man on the planet will vaporize like Maleficent's body at the end of Sleeping Beauty after people see him play Walt Disney in the upcoming film, Saving Mr. Banks.

Tom revealed his reservations Tuesday night at the premiere of American Master: Inventing David Geffen, telling reporters:
