MSNBC: Keith Olbermann And Chris Matthews Out - David Gregory In

Looks like Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have gone one step too far with their opinionated political coverage.

MSNBC has announced the two anchors are being removed from all political coverage due to their biased and opinionated reporting.

Both Olbermann and Matthews were scheduled to host the approaching debates between John McCain and Barrack Obama, but will now be replaced by David Gregory.

Gregory, the old hand Washington political reporter, will anchor all of MSNBC's coverage of the presidential and vice presidential debates and election night coverage, network spokesman Jeremy Gaines said Sunday.

The tipping point came during the Republican convention when Keith Olbermann criticized the showing of a September 11 tribute video presented by the Republicans.

Even more embarrassing for the network was when Joe Scarborough was talking about the positive changes in John McCain's campaign, and Olbermann was heard on an offstage microphone saying: "Jesus, Joe, why don't you get a shovel?"

"Fair And Balanced" and "We Report, You Decide" kind of takes on a new meaning with these guys.

Gary Coleman Hits Man With Truck Police Say

Troubled actor Gary Coleman struck a man with his truck after arguing with him in a Utah bowling alley, police said.

Payson police Lt. Bill Wright said Colt Rushton and Gary Coleman got into an argument early Saturday morning over photos Rushton had snapped of Coleman inside the bowling alley.

Police say the scuffle continued outside, and that Coleman struck Rushton and another car as he was leaving the parking lot.

Neither man was arrested, and Police say it's not clear if Coleman hit Rushton on purpose or by accident, as neither party gave police much information. Police say there are "indications" that alcohol was a factor in the accident.

"We're currently trying to sort through those issues," Wright told the Deseret News of Salt Lake City. "We've been able to establish there was an argument between the two, over some photos Rushton wanted to take of the actor."

Rushton was rushed to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries and later released.

Zac Efron Talks About Coping With Fame - Learning How To Act

Zac Efron became famous by playing young teen heartthrob Troy Bolton in Disney's "High School Musical" movies, but it has just been recently that Efron has developed a deep appreciation for both acting and the film making process.

Zac Efron, 20, told Teen Vogue reporters that he grew to care more about his business while staring in the movie "Seventeen Again", alongside Matthew Perry, about a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to, so he wishes he could go back to high school and change it. He wakes up one day and is seventeen again and gets the chance to rewrite his life.

Efron told Teen Vogue:

"It was hard to play someone that I couldn't relate to in the slightest, the director taught me a lot about the art of acting, which I hadn't been schooled in before. I've got a better understanding of what it means to be an actor now."

Efron has also gained an appreciation for older movies and a love for cinema while working on his current project "Me And Orson Wells", starring next to Claire Danes, about a teenager who is cast in the Mercury Theatre production of "Julius Caesar" directed by a young Orson Welles in 1937.

Efron's latest projects are a far cry from his teen idol roles in "High School Musical", and are showing the young actor is trying to break the mold of teen star. But the paparazzi still hounds him, and the actor rarely has a private moment. Zac does admit that sometimes he wishes he could be anonymous.

"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" opens October 24, and stars Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel and Corbin Bleu.

This third installment tells the story of seniors Troy and Gabriella, who struggle with the idea of being separated from one another as college approaches. Along with the rest of the Wildcats, they stage a spring musical to address their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.

While rubbing elbows with the worlds rich and famous, Pitt took some time to tell reporters about his new life with twin babies and partner Angelina Jolie.

Brad talked about the new additions to the family, saying that eight-week-old twins Knox and Vivienne are great.

"Everyone is healthy," said Pitt. "No sleep though. Sleep is something you long for, but it's fine. We'll get it."

Despite the lack of sleep, "Burn After Reading" costar Tilda Swinton told Pitt not to worry. As a mother of twins herself, 11-year-old daughter Honor Byrne and son Xavier Byrne, she tells him: "It gets easier."

Brad has six children with partner Angelina Jolie - Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2, Knox and Vivienne.

In addition to "Burn After Reading", Pitt has just complete the David Fincher directed mystery fantasy "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", starring alongside Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett. The film is due in theaters December 25.

Based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the movie features Benjamin Button, played by Brad Pitt, as a man who is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby, and then finally vanishes from the earth. At age 50, he falls in love with a 30-year-old woman, Blanchett, and must come to terms with the relationship as they literally grow in opposite directions.

Bill Murray And Dan Aykroyd To Star In "Ghost Busters 3" Sequel

Columbia Pictures has announced it is moving forward with a "Ghost Busters" sequel, and is in negotiations to reunite the original cast of Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver, in what is being called "Ghost Busters III."

The original idea for a "Ghost Busters 3" movie was led by original cast member Dan Aykroyd, who has already developed the screenplay and has been pushing producers for a sequel for the last two years.

The first "Ghostbusters" film was the highest grossing film for Columbia before being dethroned by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the smash hit "Men in Black". The original "Ghost Busters" was nominated for an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Awards, and has grossed over a billion dollars worldwide including toys and DVD sales.

Columbia Pictures has already hired two writers to develop the script for the third sequel, Lee Eisenberg and his partner Gene Stupnitsky. Both writers currently work on the hit series "The Office" with Steve Carrel and Rainn Wilson.

Stupnitsky is currently directing the Harold Ramis written and directed comedy "Year One" starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, the story about two lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) who are banished from their primitive village and set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.

The original Ghostbusters cast of Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Sigourney Weaver are expected to officially join the project once the studio approves the script. Rick Moranis, who played the original "Key Master", has retired from acting, and it was unsure if the players could convince him to make an appearance in "Ghost Busters 3".
