Movie tickets just keep getting more and more expensive.
Ticket prices hit an all-time high in 2011, with the average price of admission rising from $7.89 to $7.93.
Wait, what?? Where in this country can we go to a movie for under $8 bucks? Heck, under $12 bucks!
Experts say this isn't just inflation, but is caused by the big changes in the movie industry.
Not only are more and more blockbuster-type movies are being made but bigger and better multiplex movie theaters are being built and with 3D moves on the rise, movie goers don't even have a chance anymore. 3D movies alone cost an additional $3.
Are movies even worth it anymore?? We might just have to stick to Netflix.
Oh wait....
The role was offered so quickly and there was such a time restraint that Sarah Jessica Parker barely had time to process the script in her head before she said yes!
Either way, everyone is glad she was able to step in -- and if she had had more time to think about it, she says she probably would have turned it down!
Here's what she said:
"I read the script and didn't have enough time to think about it properly. [If I had,] I probably would have said no, because it was a daunting experience for lots of obvious and less obvious reasons."
That's crazy! So close to not doing it!
But we're glad, daunting or not -- we bet she fit perfectly!
Can't wait to see the flick!

Finally! A sequel everyone WANTS to see! Clear Bradley Cooper's schedule!
Last night, Coop Michael Showalter was Andy Cohen's guest on Watch What Happens Live and confirmed that a sequel for Wet Hot American Summer is "absolutely" happening and that "the whole gang, everyone's doing it."
Our favorite part about everyone signing on for this is that the concept revolves around everyone resurrecting their characters during the same summer as the original movie. This "40-year-olds" will be playing 16-year-olds," and it will still be 1981. The hair. The clothes. The music ... THE HAIR!
Oh, we can't WAIT to see what they do with Christopher Meloni's head! HAHAHAHA!
Are U looking forward to heading back to Camp Firewood? Have U picked out your song for the talent show? Do U have your movement clothes at the ready???
Well, they are certainly wasting no time with this flick's promotional material now that it's being financed!
Check out the brand new poster for Robert Rodriguez's sequel to Machete, called Machete Kills, in which Danny Trejo's character will be hired by the U.S. government to stop a Mexican drug lord and billionaire trying to launch a weapon in space (above)!
Pretty much what we'd expect the poster to look like!
Doesn't need much! Just blood splatter and a badass!
AKA exactly what we want for this sequel!
How about U?
Morgan Freeman has signed on to help Batman Tom Cruise save the world.
The flick, Oblivion, has Cruise as the last man on Earth in a post-apocalyptic world, who stays behind to kill all the aliens that have taken over.
Not much is known about Freeman's role; we're guessing it will be something epic!
The script is currently being rewritten and being released through Universal Pictures.
Can Morgan and Tom save the world?!

We didn't even know that she was a singer!
But this sounds like such a cool concept!
Rita Wilson is apparently taking a break from acting to release her debut solo album, which will be called AM/FM, and featuring classic songs from the '60s - the AM part - and the '70s - the FM part - and guest vocalists like Chris Cornell, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill and Vince Gill!
She explains:
"That time period was hugely influential on me as a kid and as a teenager. I'd spend hours and hours lying on my bed, holding up the albums, reading the liner notes, and learning all the words to these songs that expressed what I was feeling or fantasizing about. The song sequence on the album tells a story of a very innocent, idealized version of love in the 'AM' section, before it shifts to the 'FM' section and becomes more about the disillusionment that happens after you've had some heartbreaks. As I got older, I began to understand that not everything had a happy ending. So I was drawn to songs by women who wrote about how love was not always the dream fantasy; (Read more...)
