Steven Spielberg's favorite Project Will Not Be Seen

Prepare for the greatest invisible rabbit movie ever.

Steven Spielberg is turning his moviemaking genius to a remake of the aw-shucks Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey, reports Variety. Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play, the film version is best remembered as the story of a tall, stammering guy and the even taller unseen bunny he calls his friend.

Stars have not been attached to it yet, but who could resist playing second banana to an invisible hare?

It's not Jurassic Park, but we're sure it'll be awesome.

Gets most recent Laugh-- Funny People

Funny People wasn't a typical Judd Apatow or Adam Sandler movie. But it managed a typical box-office finish for an Apatow movie—and an atypically big debut for an atypical Sandler movie.

The comedy-drama hybrid, which opened Friday, will gross $23.4 million through today, per estimates, enough to top the weekend standings, and put it in the ballpark of Apatow's The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

For Sandler, the take reigned over Reign Over Me, Spanglish and the comic's other un-comic pieces.The complete Top 10 standings—and a Harry Potter update—still to come…

Atlanta Housewife Sheree

" I was the number one trending topic on Twitter last night," declare Sheree Whitfield, the morning after Thursday's season premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

There was a very good reason the Sheree tweets were flying—um, just take one look at the very heated on-camera argument she had with her party planner Anthony. When Anthony snapped to Sheree, "You better check yourself," she hissed what is destined to be her signature line, "Who's gonna check me, boo?"

After watching the scene unfold on TV, Sheree told me, "Looking at it on television, it looked so bad, but can you imagine me just sitting there?"

She added, "I think there are opportunists out there who want to get their name out there. He thinks he's going to benefit from it, but to me, you look like a fool. You look like an ass on TV. Who wants to be remembered like that?"

Of course, Anthony isn't the only drama we'll be seeing with Sheree this season…

'Ugly Betty' may be getting a revolution

The imaginary and not so cute -- Betty Suarez is moving on up at Mode magazine, and it's probably time for her look to reflect her new standing in the company as an editor. ABC is reportedly asking focus groups to weigh in on Betty's chic new looks --- clothing, hair and makeup -- that audiences may be seeing when Ugly Betty returns in the fall. And those braces? They may be coming off, too.
