Will Smith better get out his rain gear. The star has been invited to host Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, a show known for sliming its celebrities. This year is a special broadcast, as the ceremony is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It will be Smith’s first time hosting the show, though he’s won 10 Blimp Awards in the last 20 years and been nominated for five more. Marjorie Cohn, Nick’s president of original programming and development and an executive producer of the show said Smith was an obvious choice. She called him “the biggest movie star in the world … a larger than life presence who knows how to play big,” and added, “We’re excited he’ll be taking the stage for the biggest, loudest, messiest spectacle in the show’s 25-year history.”
The show will air March 31.

Arrested Development may get another lease on life on the small screen: EW has confirmed that the producers of Arrested Development – the critically-acclaimed but short-lived comedy from Mitchell Hurwitz — are in talks with Showtime and Netflix about airing a limited number of original episodes that will update fans on the Bluth clan.
Hurwitz told attendees at the New Yorker Festival Sunday in New York that he wanted to shoot nine to 10 episodes that would air next fall and catch audiences up on the characters’ lives since the series ended in 2006 on Fox. The episodes would be produced by 20th Century Fox TV, which was responsible for the original single camera series that starred Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, and Portia DeRossi. READ FULL STORY »

NBC secures Golden Globes broadcast
As it became clear the dispute over television rights for the Golden Globes wouldn’t be settled in time to prepare next year’s broadcast, a deal was brokered. While the face-off between the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Dick Clark Productions has been delayed until the start of October, the HFPA has confirmed that the two organizations made a one-year deal with NBC to broadcast the event on Jan. 15, 2012. The non-jury trial, which is expected to take about two weeks, was also handed over to Judge A. Howard Matz, a senior judge of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Though there have been rumors about an out-of-court settlement, HFPA sources denied that possibility.

In the mood for some tasty waves, a cool buzz, or at least a mini-reunion of the cast of Fast Times at Ridgemont High? EW has learned that the legendary high school comedy will be inducted into the Guy Movie Hall of Fame at Saturday’s taping of Spike TV’s Guys Choice event, with Fast Times cast members Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold, Robert Romanus, Brian Backer, Forest Whitaker, and director Amy Heckerling appearing together onstage in Los Angeles to accept the honor. (Alas, Jennifer Jason Leigh is busy starring in the Broadway production of The House of Blue Leaves and Phoebe Cates is unavailable.) Robert De Niro will present the cast with trophies, in addition to separately handing the Brass Balls award to Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards for his musical achievements.
Justin Timberlake, Scarlett Johansson, Jason Bateman, Eva Mendes, and Jason Statham are among the celebrities who will serve as presenters during the show. Previously announced honorees and attendees include Jim Carrey, Jennifer Aniston, Harrison Ford, Mark Wahlberg, and Cameron Diaz. Guys Choice airs June 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Watching and listening to an auditorium full of shrieking children may not be the most relaxing way to spend a Saturday night, but nothing beats the sight of an A or even C-level celebrity getting an upper cut of slime on live television. Then again, even a Dolce and Gabbana-wearing Heidi Klum can make a marinade of green goo look amazing, which goes to show how fashionable — if not a little frightening — it has become to participate in Nickelodeon’s annual Kids‘ Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
