Singer, Dancer, Actor. Back in the day a movie star had to do all three. I'm sure there was a rule in Old Hollywood that if you couldn't sing, act and tap dance then you had to pack up and go home.

I long for the days of Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. But these are the current Hollywood stars that are true triple threats.

Julianne Hough: She proved she can dance with her breakout role as one of the pro ballroom dance partners on Dancing With The Stars, she parlayed that into a film career, appearing as a dancer with a couple lines of dialoque in the Christina Aguilera starring film "Burlesque." Now Hough is a full fledged Hollywood starlet, she's starring in the new Footloose remake. She's also a singer. The former ballroom dancer released her self-titled debut album in 2008 which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Album charts.

Nerds everywhere are crying into their X-Men comics. Darren Aronofsky, director of Black Swan and The Wrestler has announced he won't be directing The Wolverine. And what's his excuse for being so damn lazy? Apparently his oh-so-special family is more important to him.

The movie, starring Hugh Jackman, was a continuation of the X-Men character's story, and it was to take place in Japan and have a samurai subplot.

"As I talked more about the film with my collaborators at Fox, it became clear that the production of The Wolverine would keep me out of the country for almost a year. I was not comfortable being away from my family for that length of time," Aronofsky said.

Because the idea of Aronofsky directing a movie about Wolverine makes my face want to explode, I think they should just change the plot to accommodate the director.

How about this? Wolverine finds himself living in Venice Beach, where he starts a career as a Reggae musician. He has a dog that rides a skateboard and works part time at a medical marijuana dispensary...

Hugh Jackman may have been the best thing to ever happen to the Academy Awards, but we’re not going to be seeing him host again next year.

Sadly, the Aussie actor has opted to pass up emceeing the event.

According to EW, Hugh was approached already for next year’s Oscars, but shot them down. So now, the committee is back to square one!

Apparently Jackman’s reasoning for opting out was because he wants to focus on shooting The Reel Steel, which will begin production in the spring, right after he wraps up his Broadway show A Steady Rain.

The 82nd annual Academy Awards, to be held March 7, will be produced by Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman. Who is your pick for Oscar host next year?
