The highest grossing movie of 1987, Three Men and a Baby is definitely a film of it’s time and place in history. I’ve picked ten moments that make this comedy starring Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg, worth watching again. It’s airing on VH1 over the next couple of days (check your local listings), so watch, and tell us if this film has stood the test of time.

10) The Party Scene

Any movie with a great party scene is already one to watch. This is where characters live it up, let themselves go, sometimes in triumph, sometimes to the tune of lives ruined (think Weird Science, Say Anything, Married to the Mob etc.). It conveys a sense of ’80s fabulosity perfectly.

9) Exercise As An Excuse to Mack

When folks started donning ridiculously short shorts and running the streets, many were convinced jogging was a fad that would go away. Much like practicioners of the also-maligned fitness craze aerobics (see Perfect starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis), at their origins joggers were trendy, upwardly mobile, and promiscuous.

Sherlock Holmes is Guy Ritchie’s action-packed, quick-witted, Christmas gift to America. The critics are already buzzin’ about Robert Downey, Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as his brawny sidekick Watson. With an A-list cast, Ritchie’s adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Boyle’s tale brings intense fight sequences starring a bulky Downey, Jr., and steamy romance, courtesy of Rachel McAdams as Holmes’ lover. To get you in the holiday-movie-going spirit, we’re bringing you never-before-seen footage from the much-anticipated mystery. Watch our brand new, exclusive trailer above.

Sherlock Holmes hits theaters December 25th.   

Rock and film circles have been buzzing about Anvil! The Story of Anvil ever since the movie premiered at Sundance.

You can catch the must-see documentary on VH1 when it premiers this Saturday, October 3rd at 10 pm et/pt. Check out the full trailer above.

Proving yet again that she is anything but a mean girl in real life, Rachel McAdams had a total moment of fluster last week on the set of the Today Show. McAdams, who was on the show to promote The Time Traveler’s Wife, had a teenage crush on fellow guest Antonio Sabato Jr. Sabato was there to talk up his latest project, the VH1 reality show “My Antonio.” A flustered Rachel apparently got swoon-y over the “General Hospital” star.  A source said, “Rachel was blushing and told Antonio she had the biggest crush on him in high school.”  Sabato, Jr. reportedly was so flattered that he later sent McAdams flowers.

We’re sure a real love connection would be unlikely, but this would be a great beginning to a romantic comedy, a really meta one where they star as themselves and Al Roker plays matchmaker.

And I am telling you…that it’s a baby boy for Jennifer Hudson and fiancé David Otunga. The couple, whose wedding plans are still unknown, welcomed the baby on Monday and named him David Daniel.  Baby David came in at a healthy 7 pounds, 14 ounces.

Hudson kept the details of the pregnancy private and never officially announced the pregnancy to the public, instead she just let her fans figure it out as she filled out. She also chose not to find out the sex of the child beforehand. After a year filled with family tragedy, we wish J-Hud all the best with her new family. [Photo: GettyImages]

Bret Michaels is keeping a positive attitude after breaking his nose and busting open his lip at the Tonys on Sunday.

“All I remember is Shrek and the donkey helping me up, and Liza giving me a towel,” the Rock of Love star joked. Bret also found Neil Patrick Harris‘ joke that he gave new meaning for the word “headbanging” funny.

Although his attitude is in the right place, his health will dictate whether or not he can continue with his solo tour.

“He may have to cancel his next show - we’ll see,” his rep said. “Bret is a tough son of a bitch, but he’s really banged up.” [Photo: Getty Images]

If you’re weary of the modern world, with its economic failures and high-tech delirium, a chunk of movies premiering this summer can take you all the way back to the beginning. It’s a time of “monkey people, lizard people, and mysterious creatures,” according to Will Ferrell in Land of the Lost. Ferrell’s a ditzy adventurer who finds a way to break that oft discussed “time-space continuum,” and make some big discoveries. You’ll see some Jurassic turns in the return of Ice Age, too. The animated film’s second edition is called Dawn of the Dinosaurs. But perhaps the most captivating Cro-Magnon tale comes in Year One. Without question, there are lots of Jack Black fans who can’t wait to see he and Michael Cera get their caveman on. Can you say loincloth?

Of course, there’ll plenty of action in blockbusterland. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will kick the hell out of the big screens, and John Travolta’s maniacal kidnapper in The Taking of Pelham 123 has a very convincing cackle going for him. And then there’s a little flick called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. There’s a slim chance that one might be larger than life, too. Here’s a look at the season’s best titles.

Check  the playlist of trailers for a look at 15 movies that will define the summer of 2009.

Do Klingons play drums? Does the Enterprise have a practice room? Hard to know, but what we do know is that fans of both Star Trek and Rock Band are about to start a fun week. To celebrate the arrival of the upcoming Star Trek adventure (prepare to meet a young new cast on May 8th), Rock Band is giving away 500 tracks per day for 15 days. Captain, that 7,500 tracks in total! The tracks will be usable on the gaming platform of the winner’s choice.

So if you’re bored with the same old Rock Band tunes you’ve been playing along with for months, now’s the time to rejuvenate the collection, courtesy of Star Trek.
