With less than two weeks before <em>Arrested Development</em>&#8216;s long-awaited fourth season, a trailer has been released. It features everything an <em>AD</em> fan could want: Michael, GOB, Lindsey, George Michael, Lucille, Tobias, George, Maeby and Buster. Plus an ostrich, a vulture, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">magic tricks</span> illusions and Buster&#8217;s good old hook.</p>
<p>This season picks up in real time after we last saw the Bluths. Some things have changed: Michael looks to have finally moved to Phoenix and George Michael and Maeby are in college. Some things, however, stay the same: Tobias and Lindsey are still having marital problems and, of course, Buster still lives at home with mom.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re anything like us, you&#8217;re about to blue yourself with anticipation, but hopefully this 1:36 teaser can hold you until the 26th.</p>

The cast of the much beloved show which includes <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-bateman/">Jason Bateman</a></strong>, <strong>Jeffrey Tambor</strong>, <strong>Jessica Walter</strong>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/portia-de-rossi/"><strong>Portia de Rossi</strong></a>, <strong>Will Arnett</strong>, <strong>Tony Hale</strong>, <strong>David Cross</strong>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/michael-cera/"><strong>Michael Cera</strong></a> and <strong>Alia Shawkat</strong> walked the orange carpet at the TCL Chinese Theater for the premiere of the show&#8217;s new season, which premieres on Netflix May 26.</p>
<p>The show joins finds the Bluth family seven years after we last saw them in the season three finale which aired in 2006. The Bluths have all split up and &#8220;time has not been kind&#8221; to any of them. &#8220;So we&#8217;re all kind of a little banged up,&#8221; Bateman, who plays Michael Bluth, said.</p>
<p>Everyone in the cast reiterated how excited they were for the show&#8217;s return.</p>
<p>De Rossi said of the reunion: &#8220;such a relief. It&#8217;s so exciting. I&#8217;ve been waiting for a long, long time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Seven years in the waiting, as they say,&#8221; said Walter, who plays the cold and calculating Bluth matriarch Lucille. Calling the first day shooting &#8220;emotional, for me,&#8221; Walter added: &#8220;I care about this show a lot. It meant a lot for me in my career.&#8221;</p>
<p>The entire fourth season, which consists of 15 episodes, will be made available to stream on Netflix next month. In addition to the show&#8217;s full original cast, many new actors will appear in the show&#8217;s long-awaited fourth season including <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/kristen-wiig/"><strong>Kristen Wiig</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/john-krasinski/"><strong>John Krasinski</strong></a>, <strong>John Slattery</strong>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/conan-obrien/"><strong>Conan O&#8217;Brien</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/seth-rogen/"><strong>Seth Rogen</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/isla-fisher/"><strong>Isla Fisher</strong></a>.</p>
<p>As for the rumors about an <em>Arrested Development </em>movie to follow season four, the cast played coy.</p>
<p>&#8220;If there is a movie, I think we&#8217;ve kind of caught the audience up from 2006 to 2012. I think that was the purpose of this series,&#8221; said de Rossi. &#8220;And now by the end of this series we&#8217;ll be in current time. That&#8217;s all I know.&#8221;</p>

<p>With its weekend earnings, the <strong>David O. Russell</strong> picture has officially surpassed the $100 million mark since its wide release in November.</p>
<p><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/keri-russell" target="_blank"><strong>Keri Russell</strong></a>’s new horror film <em>Dark Skies</em> opened with a weak $8.9 million. The film couldn’t catch up to <em>Safe Haven</em> and last week’s box office giant <em>A Good Day to Die Hard</em> to finish in the top five.</p>

<p>The comedy starring <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/melissa-mccarthy" target="_blank"><strong>Melissa McCarthy </strong></a>and <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-bateman" target="_blank"><strong>Jason Bateman</strong></a> opened to a strong $11.2 million on its first day, and according to <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-melissa-mccarthys-identity-420021" target="_blank"><em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a>, could finish the weekend on top with $34.8 million.</p>
<p>The film, which gives McCarthy’s first starring role since 2011’s <em>Bridesmaids</em>, beat out the other newcomer of the weekend <em>Side Effects</em>, which grossed around $3 million.</p>
<p>Despite a star-studded cast that also includes <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/amanda-peet" target="_blank"><strong>Amanda Peet</strong></a>, <strong>Jon Favreau</strong> and rapper <strong>T.I.</strong> <em>Identity Thief</em> has <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-08/identity-thief-how-do-critics-like-jason-bateman-and-melissa-mccarthy-as-a-comedic-couple/" target="_blank">not received the kindest of words from critics</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-14290362"></span>“<em>Identity Thief</em> is essentially a sloppy ‘80s character comedy with a sleeker 2013 editing and scripting sensibility,” Tasha Robinson of <em>The A.V. Club </em>wrote, comparing it to director <strong>Seth Gordon</strong>’s other miss, <em>Horrible Bosses</em>.</p>
<p>Peter Debruge of <em>Variet</em>y called the picture’s storyline “meager” while <em>The Wrap</em>’s Alonso Duralde says the film squanders Bateman’s “gifts.”</p>

<p>The 42-year-old funny girl isn’t new to acting. In fact, she’s been ­­cracking people up for years.</p>
<p>Her numerous supporting parts in <em>Charlies Angels</em>, <em>Samantha Who?</em> and<em> Life as We Know It</em> have were well-received, while her sitcom <em>Mike and Molly</em>, in which she embraces her plus-sized figure and finds love in an Overeaters Anonymous group, garnered her an Emmy.</p>
<p>But major fame didn’t come until recently, when she received Oscar-caliber recognition with an award nomination for her riotous role as Megan, the abrasive, butch sister-in-law-to-be, in <em>Bridesmaids</em>.</p>
<p><span id="more-14264682"></span></p>
<p>And it’s only been uphill from there.</p>
<p>Now, having mastered the art of the outrageous sidekick and perfected the parameters of comedic relief, Melissa gets a chance to step off the sidelines and shine on her own with a leading role in the new movie <em>Identity Thief.</em></p>
<p>In the funny film out Friday, McCarthy plays Diana, the unsuspecting scam artist who is living large after robbing Sandy Bigelow Patterson (<a title="jason bateman" href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-bateman" target="_blank"><strong>Jason Bateman</strong></a>), a quintessential nice guy with a gender-neutral name, of his identity. She is now the irritating moving target in Sandy’s life and he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim his self.</p>
<p>McCarthy may just be getting her moment now, but Celebuzz remembers this star from her <em>Gilmore Girls </em>days.</p>
<p>As Sookie St James, McCarthy was a necessary fixture in the quick-witted, culturally positioned mother-daughter series. The scatterbrain top chef and lovable friend to Lorelai Gilmore, she scored lots of laughs with her klutzy demeanor, ridiculous ramblings and sheer quirkiness.</p>
<p>She was an absolutely affable addition to the sometimes-serious cast.</p>
<p>Check out this scene for a well-representing glimpse of Melissa’s early talents.</p>

<p><em>Bridesmaids<strong>’ </strong></em>breakout star, <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Melissa-McCarthy/">Melissa McCarthy</a></strong>, joins <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-bateman/">Jason Bateman</a></strong> in director <strong>Seth Gordon</strong>’s follow-up to <em>Horrible Bosses</em>. In <em>Thief</em>, McCarthy plays a brash woman responsible for stealing the identity of Bateman’s character, Sandy. The two are forced to team-up for the most awkward road trip ever, full of endless jokes aimed at Sandy’s less-than-masculine name.</p>
<p>So is <em>Identity Thief</em> worthy of all this anti-praise? Read on to find out…</p>
<p><span id="more-14270562"></span></p>
<p><strong>Joe Morgenstern, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324900204578285911331195442.html">The Wall Street Journal</a></strong></p>
<p>“Melissa McCarthy stole big chunks of a great show in the 2011 <em>Bridesmaids</em>… On the strength of that sensational comic turn, she clearly deserved her own starring vehicle. But no one —neither the star nor her audience — deserves <em>Identity </em>Thief, the comedy equivalent of mud-wrestling without the mud.”</p>
<p><strong>Alonso Duralde, <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/identity-thief-review-two-stolen-hours-youll-never-get-back-76746">TheWrap</a></strong></p>
<p>“[<em>Identity Thief</em>] has the kind of cast that makes audiences ask, ‘How bad could it be?’ before proceeding to answer that very question. Bateman, for his part, tries to inject whatever life he can into the straight-man half of this comedic duo, but it’s yet another film where his gifts are squandered.”</p>
<p><strong>Peter Debruge, <a href="http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117949179/">Variety</a></strong></p>
<p>“With <em>Identity Thief</em>, Melissa McCarthy proves she&#8217;s got what it takes to carry a feature, however meager the underlying material.”</p>
<p><strong>Tasha Robinson, <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/identity-thief,92159/">The A.V. Club</a></strong></p>
<p>“Like <em>Horrible Bosses</em>, the previous feature from director Seth Gordon, <em>Identity Thief </em>is essentially a sloppy ’80s character comedy with a sleeker 2013 editing and scripting sensibility. But for all the streamlining, <em>Identity Thief </em>rarely hits breakneck speed, thanks to its long, sometimes improvised scenes of mayhem. And the frame isn’t the only thing pared down to utilitarian basics: The tacked-on, Elmore Leonard-esque villains get short shrift too.”</p>
<p><strong>Roger Moore, <a href="http://www.movienation.com">Movie Nation</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;[The filmmakers] aimed for <em>Midnight Run</em>, settled for attempting <em>Due Date</em>, and wound up with <em>Guilt Trip</em>.&#8221;</p>

Taking in nearly $21 million, <em>Warm Bodies</em> will have to hold up against the <strong>Jason Bateman</strong>-<strong>Melissa McCarthy</strong> comedy <em>Identity Thief</em>, the pharmacological thriller <em>Side Effects</em> from director <strong>Steven Soderbergh</strong> and the IMAX 3D re-release of <em>Top Gun</em>.</p>
<p>With the last few months being fairly top-heavy will horror/thriller releases, we’re willing to bet that <em>Identity Thief</em> will steal itself the top slot with a much needed dose of comedy. Despite being the critical darling of the group, however, it’s difficult to say whether <em>Side Effects </em>will find its audience.</p>

<p>You could call it the school of hard knocks, which would make her new movie <em>Identity Thief</em> a PHD program. A slam in the head with a guitar, a near miss with a 32-pound panini maker, and a hostile meet-and-greet with the front bumper of a car are just a few of the hazards McCarthy endured on the set of the new comedy.</p>
<p>“I got hurt a lot and I’m apparently an idiot,” she told reporters last weekend in Beverly Hills. “At the end of it I was like, ‘There was that stunt woman there for so much of this.’ I dunno, I think I get kind of excited to do it, and then I don’t really think about doing it 42 times.”</p>
<p><span id="more-14199361"></span></p>
<p>In her new movie, she plays an identity thief pursued by her victim, played by <strong>Jason Bateman</strong>. McCarthy’s role was originally written for a man, but after seeing her at the premiere of <em>Bridesmaids</em>, Bateman called Universal to suggest her for the part.</p>
<p>“They said, ‘Why don’t you see if you could go get her?” recalled Bateman. “So I took her out to a quick meal and had her sign something while she was passed out from the booze,” he joked.</p>
<p>She could have used some of that booze to dull the pain during production. In one scene, Bateman confronts her in her apartment and a physical altercation ensues.</p>
<p>“I saw the guitar there while we were rehearsing. And we were trying to figure out a way to stop her from leaving and we didn’t want to do the tackling of her yet,” said Bateman. “And I said, ‘What if I take her off her feet with this guitar?’ kind of joking, but not really.”</p>
<p>McCarthy got a sense for what was coming and quickly spoke up, “You’re kidding, right?” But director <strong>Seth Gordon</strong> (<em>Horrible Bosses</em>) just kept laughing and Bateman started taking a few practice swings with the guitar. “And I was like, ‘Oh God, I think I’m gonna get hit in the face with a guitar,” groaned McCarthy.</p>
<p>And that’s not all she got hit with. Later in the scene, as she makes a break for the door, Bateman’s character picks up a panini maker and hurls it at her head.</p>
<p>“There were about 14 fake panini machines that weigh about a quarter of an ounce cause they’re foam, and then there was one real one that weighs like 32 pounds,” growled McCarthy. “And the first time we did that run to the door, he picked up the real one and let that thing fly toward my head.”</p>
<p>“Missed her,” interjected Bateman. “I didn’t know that there were any light ones. I thought they were all real.”</p>
<p>For all the hits she took making <em>Identity Thief</em>, McCarthy got some revenge when Bateman had to tangle with a live snake on the set. In one scene, the pair are stuck in the wilderness without a car or money, sleeping under the stars when a king snake attacks Bateman.</p>
<p>“They said, ‘There’s no way that the snake will ever come anywhere near you,” grinned McCarthy. “Then they put the snake down and it made a bee-line for his leg, which I really enjoyed.”</p>
<p>“Right up my pant leg and got basically all the way up to my kneecap before they yelled cut,” added Bateman. “So I had to endure a full night with a seven foot king snake, one that wrapped itself around my neck.”</p>
<p>In the end, producers found a CG snake to be more effective than the real thing, so they scrapped the footage they shot with Bateman and the snake.</p>
<p>“None of it’s in the movie,” he lamented. “I think we have the snake traveling towards my body, but that’s about it.”</p>
<p>Seated next to him, recalling all their bumps and bruises, McCarthy summed it up succinctly, “It was a dicey shoot.”</p>
<p>Check out two hilarious clips from <em>Identity Thief </em>below.<em><br />

<p>Diehard fans will remember that Richter has made cameos on the show in the past as his fictional quintuplet brothers Donnie, Chareth, Rocky and Emmitt Richter. The word&#8217;s still out if the actor will be finally playing himself in the upcoming season, which will be made available exclusively on Netflix in 2013.</p>
<p>Fan favorites <strong>Liza Minnelli</strong> and <strong>Mae Whitman</strong>, who plays Lucille 2 and Ann (her?) respectively, are too set to return to <em>Arrested Development</em>. The new season will also see appearances by<strong> John Slattery, Henry Winkler </strong>and <strong>Isla Fisher</strong>.</p>

<p>The cast of the cult TV series has been hard at work during the recent months filming the show&#8217;s new episodes, which will be made available exclusively on Netflix in 2013.</p>
<p>The internet combusted into frenzy last week when <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151146441493046&amp;set=a.424983913045.195840.15091748045&amp;type=1" target="_blank">released photos</a> from the cast&#8217;s latest photo shoot. To the delight of fans everywhere, actors <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jason-Bateman" target="_blank">Jason Bateman</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/michael-cera" target="_blank">Michael Cera</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/portia-de-rossi" target="_blank">Portia de Rossi</a></strong> and David Cross all reunited for the vintage-inspired spread.</p>
<p>The countdown to the new <em>Arrested Development</em> episodes has begun, and <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/">Celebuzz</a></strong> is keeping you up to date with the latest from the show&#8217;s soundstage and beyond.</p>

<p><span id="more-12421601"></span></p>
<p>Some of the cast members have gotten in trouble in the past for reportedly &#8220;leaking&#8221; information regarding the show&#8217;s upcoming episodes.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Show creator <strong>Mitch Hurwitz</strong>] has been yelling at me because, like, stuff in the background I’m accidentally getting that actually has some relevance and I don’t realize it. So I’ve stopped,&#8221; Bateman told <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2012/09/jason-bateman-on-accidentally-leaking-ad-info.html" target="_blank">Vulture</a> in September.</p>

<p>One incriminating tweet included Bateman spilling about an upcoming cameo from the cast of Comedy Central&#8217;s <em>Workaholics</em>.</p>
<p>The actor said of the flub:</p>
<blockquote><p>Well, I wanted to take a shot on the first day of lights and camera and, like, “obviously, he’s on a set,” and in that shot are a couple of cast members from a show <em>Workaholics</em>. And after I took that picture, like hours afterwards, I was talking to those actors and a kid came up asking for their autograph. And I said, “Are you guys in a movie or a show or something?” And they were like, “Yeah, we’re in this show called <em>Workaholics</em>.” And I was like, “Oh cool, I gotta see that.” And then of course once the Tweet was up, I’d already sent out the Tweet, but I didn’t put two and two together and a day later I saw that it was all over the boards: “Oh my god! The <em>Workaholics</em> are in it!” Mitch said, “Hey man …” [does scowling Mitch impersonation].</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Liza Minnelli</strong> and <strong>Mae Whitman</strong>, who plays Lucille 2 and Ann (her?) respectively, will also return for the series&#8217; highly-anticipated fourth season.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/melissa-mccarthy" target="_blank">Melissa McCarthy</a></strong> is one sneaky criminal in her new film, <em>Identity Thief</em>.</p>
<p>In the comedy, the 42-year-old funny woman is Diana, a Miami resident who basks in the joys of unlimited credit card spending, thanks to the stolen identity of Patterson, played by <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-bateman" target="_blank">Jason Bateman</a></strong>.</p>
<p>All is well in Diana’s world until the real Patterson catches up to her, halfway across the country.</p>
<p>“Here’s my driver’s license with my name, Sandy Bigelow Patterson. Gotcha,” Bateman’s character says after an intentional rear-ender with his thief.</p>
<p><em>‘Identity Thief,’ out in February, also features a pretty impressive star-studded cast.</em></p>
<p><span id="more-12222782"></span></p>
<p>Directed by <strong>Seth Gordon </strong>(who worked with Bateman in 2011’s <em>Horrible Bosses</em>), the comedy also stars <strong>John Cho</strong>, <strong>Eric Stonestreet</strong>, <strong>Amanda Peet</strong>, <strong>Jon Favreau</strong> and <strong>T.I.</strong></p>
<p>If the trailer is any indication, the film contains some of the best comedic lines in recent memory (“Look at her, she’s like a hobbit. I can handle her. I’m going after Bilbo”).</p>
<p>In other Bateman news, the 43-year-old is, of course, at work resurrecting <em>Arrested Development</em>. The long-awaited Season 4 will premiere on Netflix in spring of 2013.</p>
<p><em>Identity Thief</em> opens in theaters Feb. 8, 2013.</p>
<p><strong><em>Check out the new trailer for Bateman and McCarthy’s new comedy, ‘Identity Thief,’ above.</em></strong></p>

<p>Well, that&#8217;s one of the main ideas behind <strong>Morgan Spurlock</strong>&#8216;s (<em>Super Size Me</em>) new documentary, <em>Mansome</em>. All about the evolution of male grooming habits, <em>Arrested Development</em> stars <strong>Jason Bateman</strong> and <strong>Will Arnett</strong> helped produce the project, and while it&#8217;s getting plenty of buzz, <strong>Celebuzz</strong> was able to get an exclusive look at one of the doc&#8217;s extra scenes.</p>
<p><em>Always eager to make each other laugh, Bateman</em><em> harps on the</em><em><em> </em><em>Arnett </em></em><em>as he gets a rejuvenating facial.</em></p>

<p>Also, <strong>Celebuzz</strong> caught up with the man himself, Spurlock, at the film&#8217;s Los Angeles premiere recently, and talked to him all about the project. Check it out below:</p>
