Released on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 27 is a great new comedy/romance starring Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and Tea Leoni called "Ghost Town." In the film, Gervais stars as Bertram Pincus, a British dentist in Manhattan that really just doesn't like other people.

When Pincus dies unexpectedly during a routine operation, he is revived after seven minutes. But there's just one problem - he can now see and converse with ghosts. As if the living weren't already annoying enough, Pincus now has legions of the dead hoping that he can help them with their unfinished business. Of course he's none to interested, but one ghost by the name of Frank Herlihy (Kinnear) promises he'll get all the other ghosts off his case if he just helps him stop his widow from remarrying. What happens next is all but predictable: Pincus starts to fall for Frank's wife.

If you're looking for lighter fare, Ghost Town is a good movie to pick up. It's rated PG-13, and as such there really wasn't anything too graphic or crude in the movie.

Eat your heart out Angelina, Jennifer Aniston proves that she still has a body that probably Brad Pitt thinks about from time time. Aniston posed for the latest issue of GQ and she isn't being very modest. Wearing just a tie and a sly smile, the former Friends star shows that she still is sexy as she approaches 40 years of age.

Aniston is promoting the new film Marley & Me which is set to be released on Christmas day. Owen Wilson co-stars in the film and you can see the preview below:

It is CyberMonday madness at Amazon where the retailer is selling the Beatles Help! Deluxe DVD set for more than $100 off the listed price. The Beatles Help! DVD has a suggested retail price of $135 but today Amazon is selling the double DVD set for only $19.99. A perfect item for the lovers of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to find under their Christmas tree (just don't tell them that you got such a good deal).

Here is the specs on the DVD set:

Tom Cruise's Nazi film, Valkyrie, is scheduled for a holiday release. Advance buzz on the film has been overwhelmingly negative thus far, and instead of accepting the fact that movie-goers are likely to perfer lighter fare this holiday, Cruise is calling on his fellow Scientologists to help out. According to Star Magazine, he's asking Scientologists around the world to buy blocks of tickets to increase the box office numbers.

It wouldn't be the first time that Scientologists have successfully artificially inflated the sales. In fact, L. Ron Hubbard's book "Dianetics" became a best-seller thanks to the efforts of the Scientologists that bought them in bulk. Unfortunately, they may succeed in artificially inflating the box office numbers, but movie-goers will be sure to report if the seats look suspiciously empty despite a sell-out.

There's been quite a few films shot here in Cleveland, but it's not that often that we get a movie premiere weeks ahead of its national release date. But today Cleveland gets its taste of Hollywood glamour as actor Will Smith heads to the Cinemark Valley View theater for a red carpet appearance to promote his new movie, "Seven Pounds", and to benefit the Cleveland Food Bank.

Smith will be donating 200 turkeys to the Cleveland Food Bank for the holiday season as a part of the event. For your chance to get into the screening and catch a glimpse of Will Smith on the red carpet, you need to bring at least one canned food item to the theater by 4pm. Those who bring non-perishable food items will be eligible to receive a pass to the screening.

The outdoor event is free and open to the public, and you'll be able to see Smith outside the theater. But admission is required for the screening which begins at 7pm.

Local celebrities, politicians, and other VIPS will also be at the event. "Seven Pounds" will premiere nationwide on December 19. Cinemark Valley View is located at 6001 Canal Road in Valley View.

Scarlett Johansson graces the December edition of Allure Magazine and answers the questions that fans of the star has on their minds. Johansson talks to the magazine about topics such as her tattoo, Woody Allen using her as his muse, and the ongoing feud between her and Lindsay Lohan.

Here is what she said about the those topics in the magazine which will hit newstands soon:

On the tattoo on her forearm:

“It’s kind of personal. It’s a sunrise, and it makes me happy when I look at it.”

On being Woody Allen's inspiration:

“I don’t inspire that work that Woody does. I’m just lucky to fit into the ‘young woman’ category in his movies. But make no mistake, I know that if it wasn’t me, it would be someone else.”

On her rivalry with fellow Hollywood icon Lindsay Lohan:

“I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times.” (Scarlett did lose the lead role in The Parent Trap to Lindsay when she was 13.)

Rapper 50 Cent is hopeful that Barack Obama's presidency will help his fledgling acting career by striking back against racism in Hollywood. 50 Cent claims that although African-American stars such as Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, and Will Smith have enjoyed an enormous amount of success, there is still a huge black and white divide in the movie industry.

He is hopeful, however, that having a black man in the White House will help break down some barriers. 50 Cent has appeared in two movies - Get Rich or Die Tryin' and Righteous Kill.

He said, "There's two Hollywood. There's white Hollywood and there's black Hollywood. Those lines are still there, but this is a step to getting rid of those lines."
