Well, if this doesn't put the final nail in the almost-buried coffin that is Up All Night, then nothing will!

As we've reported, numerous creative shake-ups to the struggling NBC comedy have already resulted in creator Emily Spivey and star Christina Applegate giving their two-week's notice, and now, it appears that Maya Rudolph may be following them right out the door!

But not exactly how or why you would imagine…

Because she's just announced that she and partner Paul Thomas Anderson are expecting their fourth child together!

Well, not announced to the public! Her representative hasn't made a statement!

But according to sources with NBC

Joaquin Phoenix has pretty much made it clear that he despises the celebrity culture and what he perceives to be ego-stroking, entitled accolades that currently encapsulate the profession of acting - and because of this, even went as far as to proclaim that the Oscars are "bullsh*t!"

So it's really no surprise to us that upon winning the title of Best Actor from the London Critics' Circle, for his work in The Master, the actor would use the opportunity in his acceptance speech to speak out against a culture that limits the scope and influence of his performance to exclusively him, and instead thanked his co-stars and director for their contributions to his work… as well as the normally and largely unrecognized crew members, without whom there would be no finished product!

He says:

Paul Thomas Anderson has wowed the film community again and again and it looks like The Master will not break that trend when it hits theaters on September 21.

The final trailer for the flick (above) that could give both Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman Oscar #2 has been released and we think it's the best one yet.

In just over a minute, we can clearly see the tension rising between the master and his pupil and we can't wait to see their relationship explode on the big screen before those credits roll!

The trailers for P.T. Anderson's The Master are almost like short films themselves. Rather than just showing a bunch of quick clips from the entire thing, each seems to give us a preview of a specific moment or theme that the narrative explores.

The newest trailer (above), which was tailor-made for last night's advanced screening at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago, is all about love and how Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character believes it affects his pupils.

It's both mysterious and intriguing, but mainly makes us a little jealous we missed that surprise screening in Santa Monica last week.

Film enthusiasts hoping to get a glimpse (or at least a review) of Paul Thomas Anderson's newest drama, The Master, at this summer's Venice Film Festival are majorly disappointed.

While sources reported that the next film from the director of There Will Be Blood will be debuting at the festival, it mysteriously disappeared from the schedule.

There are still plenty of high-profile films for festival attendees to look forward to, but still, pretty much everyone was

We can't friggin' wait to see this!

Technically, there's currently no official link between Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master and The Church of Scientology.

PTA has been asked repeatedly and has declined comment.

Off the record, most everyone recognizes his new film is a not-so-subtely disguised L. Ron Hubbard biopic.

Ch-Ch-Check out Phillip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of a cult leader/philosopher in the trailer (above), and we think you'll see what we mean.

Regardless, we are PUMPED for more PTA!!

It seems like six decades have passed since There Will Be Blood!

And from the trailer alone we definitely wouldn't be surprised if Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for an Oscar.

We're totes enthused for The Master to visit theaters in late 2012.

"Being in US WEEKLY does NOT make you famous. Paul Thomas Anderson does not read US and go, 'Hey, I want this douchebag in my next film!"
