A lot has changed since Arrested Development went off the air in 2006.

No one — not even showrunner Mitchell Hurwitz — ever thought the Bluths would reunite, sending the actors out into the world to find new projects after a three-season run on FOX.

Well, the gang is back come May 26 — and they’re bigger than ever.

Jason Bateman and Will Arnett both found success at the box office — and not to mention, took their bromance offscreen — while Michael Cera turned into an awkward indie icon after hanging up his banana stand apron. 

So, what has the cast been up to during this so-called hiatus?

Read on to find out.

Jason Bateman as Michael Bluth

Since Arrested Development went off the air, Bateman enjoyed success at the box office with roles in such films as Hancock, Juno, Horrible Bosses, Couple’s Retreat, The Switch and The Change-Up.

In 2010, Batman started a digital content production company called DumbDumb Productions with Arrested co-star Will Arnett.

He welcomed his second daughter, Maple, with wife Amanda Anka in 2012.

Michael Cera as George Michael Bluth

In 2007, Cera broke out with Superbad and Juno, which he starred in alongside fellow Arrested Development co-star, Jason Bateman. After gaining notoriety as the go-to guy for “awkward” roles, Cera tried to stay out of the spotlight by taking more indie roles in films such as The End of Love and Magic Magic.

Will Arnett as Gob Bluth

After wrapping Season 3, Arnett continued to receive work in both TV and movie. On the boob tube, the Canadian actor guest-starred on shows such as Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock before becoming a regular on The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, Running Wilde and Up All Night — all of which have ended as series.

In film, Arnett starred in comedies like Hot Rod, Blades of Glory (alongside Arrested guest star and then-wife Amy Poehler) and Semi-Pro.

during the downtime, Arnett also welcomed to sons, Archibald and Abel, with Poehler. The couple announced their separation in September 2012.

Portia de Rossi as Lindsay Fünke

In 2008, de Rossi became engaged when talk show host Ellen DeGeneres proposed with a 3-carat pink diamond ring. The couple wed on August 16, 2008 (during the brief window wherein same-sex marriage was legal in California) at their home in front of 21 guests. She was granted a U.S. citizenship in 2011.

Aside from appearing in TV series such as Nip/Tuck and Better Off Ted, the Australian actress also wrote a book, titled Unbearable Lightness, that documented her struggles with anorexia nervosa and bulimia during her time on Ally McBeal.

David Cross as Tobias Fünke

Cross saw plenty of work after Arrested Development, lending his voice to animated films such as Kung Fu Panada and Megamind. The actor also appeared in live action movies like I’m Not There and Year One, which also starred his Arrested co-star Michael Cera.

In his personal life, Cross started dating actress Amber Tamblyn in 2009 before proposing in 2011. The couple married on October 6, 2012.

Alia Shawkat as Maeby Fünke

After Arrested Development‘s third season had ended, Shawkat appeared as supporting characters in indie movie such as Whip It and The Runaways.

In October 2009, it was announced that Shawkat, singer Har Mar Superstar and fellow Whip It co-star Ellen Page would produce and write a show for HBO called Stitch N’ Bitch — which has not been picked up to this day.

Acting and producing aside, Shawkat also dabbled in her musical side, singing guest vocals with her onscreen arch nemesis from Arrested, Mae Whitman, on Fake Problems’ album Real Ghosts Caught on Tape in 2010.

Shawkat dated fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff from 2007 to 2010.

Tony Hale as Buster Bluth

Since 2006, Hale appeared in many TV series as a guest star, including Community, United States of Tara and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Hale also had a recurring on Numb3rs and Chuck.

He is currently a series regular on HBO’s Veep.

Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth

After Season 3, Walter found fame in playing yet another self-centered alcoholic matriarch in FX animated series, Archer. Her husband, Ron Leibman, lends the voice of her character Malory Archer’s husband.

Walter also dabbled in Broadway, starring in the revival of Anything Goes that officially opened in April 2011.

Jeffrey Tambor as George Bluth

Since the season’s end in 2006, Tambor appeared in the highly-successful The Hangover trilogy and the sequel to 2004′s Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The Hollywood veteran also did voice work for animated features like Monsters vs. Aliens and Tangled.

In 2009, Tambor and his second wife, Kasia Ostlun, welcomed twin boys named Hugo and Eli.

With only less than a week until all Arrested Development‘s fourth season drops on Netflix, Celebuzz wants you to be in the know as you — let’s face it — sit and watch everything in one go.

Believe it or not, the former FOX series has a much of intrigue, mystery and drama as your average soap opera.

Whether it’s Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) finding out that she’s actually adopted or Michel (Jason Bateman) uncovering his mother (Jessica Walter) as the criminal mastermind who set his father (Jeffrey Tambor) up, there are plenty of twists and turns that will rival some of the best storylines on The Young and the Restless.

To help you keep up with this family, here’s a handy-dandy breakdown of the series’ characters to help you catch up before Season 4.

Operation Hot Mother is a go. With less than two weeks before Arrested Development‘s long-awaited fourth season, a trailer has been released. It features everything an AD fan could want: Michael, GOB, Lindsey, George Michael, Lucille, Tobias, George, Maeby and Buster. Plus an ostrich, a vulture, magic tricks illusions and Buster’s good old hook.

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.

If you’re anything like us, you’re about to blue yourself with anticipation, but hopefully this 1:36 teaser can hold you until the 26th.

It’s been seven years in the making, but last night the Bluth family was finally back together again. The cast of the much beloved show which includes Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, David Cross, Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat walked the orange carpet at the TCL Chinese Theater for the premiere of the show’s new season, which premieres on Netflix May 26.

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 “time has not been kind” to any of them. “So we’re all kind of a little banged up,” Bateman, who plays Michael Bluth, said.

Everyone in the cast reiterated how excited they were for the show’s return.

De Rossi said of the reunion: “such a relief. It’s so exciting. I’ve been waiting for a long, long time.”

“Seven years in the waiting, as they say,” said Walter, who plays the cold and calculating Bluth matriarch Lucille. Calling the first day shooting “emotional, for me,” Walter added: “I care about this show a lot. It meant a lot for me in my career.”

The entire fourth season, which consists of 15 episodes, will be made available to stream on Netflix next month. In addition to the show’s full original cast, many new actors will appear in the show’s long-awaited fourth season including Kristen Wiig, John Krasinski, John Slattery, Conan O’Brien, Seth Rogen and Isla Fisher.

As for the rumors about an Arrested Development movie to follow season four, the cast played coy.

“If there is a movie, I think we’ve kind of caught the audience up from 2006 to 2012. I think that was the purpose of this series,” said de Rossi. “And now by the end of this series we’ll be in current time. That’s all I know.”

Brush up on your chicken dance and start making some cornballs because six years after it went off the air, Arrested Development is finally back for its fans.

The cast of the cult TV series has been hard at work during the recent months filming the show’s new episodes, which will be made available exclusively on Netflix in 2013.

The internet combusted into frenzy last week when Entertainment Weekly released photos from the cast’s latest photo shoot. To the delight of fans everywhere, actors Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Portia de Rossi and David Cross all reunited for the vintage-inspired spread.

The countdown to the new Arrested Development episodes has begun, and Celebuzz is keeping you up to date with the latest from the show’s soundstage and beyond.

Launch the gallery above to see behind-the-scenes photos of the cast and crew.

Some of the cast members have gotten in trouble in the past for reportedly “leaking” information regarding the show’s upcoming episodes.

“[Show creator Mitch Hurwitz] 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,” Bateman told Vulture in September.

One incriminating tweet included Bateman spilling about an upcoming cameo from the cast of Comedy Central’s Workaholics.

The actor said of the flub:

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 Workaholics. 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 Workaholics.” 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 Workaholics are in it!” Mitch said, “Hey man …” [does scowling Mitch impersonation].

Liza Minnelli and Mae Whitman, who plays Lucille 2 and Ann (her?) respectively, will also return for the series’ highly-anticipated fourth season.

Are you excited for Arrested Development‘s big return? Sound off below.

Abigail Breslin wowed fans with her dance moves in Little Miss Sunshine, and now she’s exploring her musical roots.

The 16-year-old Oscar nominee recently debuted the first music track with indie troup Stargroves. Titled “Westfjords,” the song is a catchy, twangy collaboration between the teenage actress and songwriter Teddy Watson.

But the Hollywood starlet isn’t the first actor to dabble in music.

Performing under the name “Baby Goose,” Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling indulged his inner musician with his indie group, Dead Man’s Bones. The band’s self-titled album — a collaboration between with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir started by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea – was released in 2009.

Likewise, Superbad stars Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse have also branched out into music, playing in indie groups Mister Heavenly and The Young Rapscallions, respectively.

Who else has been rocking out? Launch the gallery for more actors you didn’t know were in bands.

Chris Evans, with his chiseled jaw, All-American good looks and effortless ease in front of the camera, has everything it takes to become one of Hollywood’s top leading men. And with his starring role as comic book caped crusader role in Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers films, it seems that this actor is well on his way to superstardom.

Evans is no new face to the industry though, having brought his talents to the big screen for over a decade now. With Captain America set to hit theaters this weekend, Celebuzz took a look back at Evans’ career and his most memorable roles to date.

Not Another Teen Movie – Jake Wyler (2001)
During the heyday of spoof comedies, Evans got his first big break in Not Another Teen Movie as Jake Wyler, resident dumb jock and the most popular guy in school. A parody of the most memorable teen movies of the 90’s and 80’s, including The Breakfast Club, Bring It On and Cruel Intentions, NATM played primarily on the plot of She’s All That, with Evan’s character betting that he can turn a hopeless geek into the prom queen.

Feast your eyes upon Evans wearing a whipped cream bikini in NATM below:

The Perfect Score – Kyle (2004)
Next up for the hunky actor was the teen heist film The Perfect Score. Evan’s starred alongside Erika Christensen and Scarlett Johansson as a group of high school students who plot to steal the answers to the SAT exam. Evans plays the role of Kyle, a senior desperate to secure his spot in the architecture program at Cornell University.

Watch the trailer for The Perfect Score:

Cellular – Ryan (2004)
Evans graced the big screen again in 2004 with the thriller film Cellular, working alongside Kim Basinger, Jessica Biel and Jason Statham. Evans played the part of Ryan, an unlikely hero who must rescue Jessica Martin (Kim) from her kidnappers when she randomly calls his cell phone pleading for help.
Chris rocking a shirtless look in Cellular… need we say more?

Fantastic Four – Johnny Storm/Human Torch (2005)
The actor first flexed his superhero muscles alongside Jessica Alba in 2005’s Fantastic Four. Evans played the role of Johnny Storm, a hotheaded astronaut who gains his powers when the spacecraft he is on is bombarded with cosmic rays, transforming him into the Human Torch. The film was a success at the box office, and a sequel to the film was released in 2007, entitled Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Watch the trailer for Fantastic Four below:

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World – Lucas Lee (2010)
Evans made a memorable appearance in the comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as Lucas Lee, a popular actor, skateboarder and evil ex-boyfriend. Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera, must defeat Lee in order to date his dream girl, one of Lee’s ex-girlfriends.

Watch Chris first make his entrance as Lucas Lee below:

Rob Corddry is known for his off-beat comedy on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Hot Tub Time Machine, but Childrens Hospital, the comedian’s labor of love on Adult Swim, takes off-beat comedy to a whole other level. Celebuzz got a chance to talk with the hilarious star about the show’s new season, what it’s like to transition from online to TV and the likelihood that we’ll see a Hot Tub Time Machine 2 in theaters any time soon.

Can you give us any hints about what’s coming up on Childrens Hospital?

Yes…a TV first, someone dies on camera. That, and jokes.

The show started off as a web series for thewb.com, we spoke to your co-star Rob Huebel who said you guys never planned on Childrens Hospital becoming a TV series – were you happy it got picked up?

It was certainly not our plan at all. As a matter of fact I gave a lot of interviews saying I wasn’t interested [in turning it into a TV series]. But that was before I became aware of the 15 minute format and I thought that would be perfect for the show. Anything more than that would be a relentless joke barrage. So we were in a low stakes bidding war between Comedy Central and Adult Swim. [Laughs]

Do you think the show would be different if it wasn’t on Adult Swim?

Well those are the only two places a show like ours could exist. But, I definitely think Adult Swim is closer to our sensibility, that isn’t to say I wouldn’t fit with Comedy Central’s programming; however, the executive we were pitching to [at Comedy Central] started giving us notes at the pitch meeting. [Laughs] And we haven’t gotten a note from Adult Swim to this day so I think we picked the right home.

You play off a lot of medical shows on Childrens Hospital – were you a fan of medical shows before you started filming?

Not really, I was a fan of St. Elsewhere, that was one of my favorite shows of all time…and I liked M.A.S.H., but that’s about it. I was never a fan of ER, and I only sporadically watched Grey’s Anatomy, but when I started writing this show I would watch those for inspiration. Recently I started watching House, and I love that show, that’s a big inspiration for the current show, but that’s more of a procedural detective drama than anything else, so we started parodying TV drama more than just medical shows.

You have a ton of great guest stars on the show (Nick Offerman, Jon Hamm, etc.) are there any stars you’d like to work with in the future?

Yeah, I’d like to find a way to see Michael Cera rather than just hear him. Other than that, I’m sort of cutting down on guest stars in the season we’re writing now because we have a great cast and I don’t want to waste them. I only want a guest star if it’s really necessary. I’ll write a story and I say if this story can be told with the doctors in the hospital, I’d much rather do it that way. Of course, people bring their kids to a hospital, so it is conducive to hiring guest stars, so we will always be counted on for some fun cameos.

You also live-tweeted the show’s premiere, do you enjoy using that to interact with fans?

Yeah, it’s a good way to interact with fans or at least to take the temperature of the fans is to search #childrenshospital [on Twitter]. But live-tweeting the premiere was almost impossible because we were trying to figure out how many jokes per minute we could fit in… it was almost impossible. I also have almost 1.3 million followers and I’d say most of those followers do not watch Childrens Hospital. So they were mostly annoyed that I was taking up their feed.

I have to ask – everyone at Celebuzz are big Hot Tub Time Machine fans, would you ever join on for a sequel?

I would do it in a second, first of all. Second of all, I think the chances are slim to none. One, because we didn’t make a huge splash opening weekend, and that’s kind of what its all about. We were sort of the-movie-that-could after a while, and it ended up doing pretty well, but it didn’t make a huge splash. Also, our studio is bankrupt. They can’t even make a Bond movie now, I doubt that they’re angling to make a Hot Tub 2.

Watch Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim on Thursdays at midnight!

Check out star-on-the-rise Emma Stone on the September cover of ASOS magazine, in which she proudly declares herself an “odd bird.” Funny, she looks anything but odd in the gorgeous photos from the shoot!

Emma stars in the upcoming film, Easy A, a modern-day adaptation of The Scarlet Letter. She also played Michael Cera’s honey in Superbad and landed the lead role in the forthcoming big-screen adaptation of the best-seller, The Help. She tells ASOS she pushes herself hard, saying, “There is an immense amount of pressure.”

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Eat Pray Love both made their big screen debuts today, making them the last two highly hyped films of the waning summer movie season. But before you and your buddies bust the piggy bank, find out what the stars of these movies have been doing lately.

Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman have been doing what they do best: clowning. The two funny men recently spent a pantsless Saturday prancing about town, shopping, bike riding and even jazzercising for GQ. However, their fun came to a screeching halt when, during a recent guest appearance on Good Morning Atlanta, Michael Cera was run over, proving once again that it’s all fun and games and freeballin’ until somebody gets nailed by a bus.

Check out the hilarious collision here:

Celebuzz’s Comic-Con interview with Michael Cera:

In other “Pilgrim” news, Jason Schwartzman announced yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he and his wife of one year, clothing designer Brady Cunningham, are expecting their first child in December.

On the rom-com side, aside from looking classy at the Eat Pray Love premiere, Julia Roberts faced off against Jennifer Aniston in a “Battle of the Babs” — where both actresses dressed up like Barbra Streisand for seperate magazines, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, respectively.

In addition to the advertising campaigns and red carpet affairs, the Home Shopping Network held a 72-hour sell-a-thon for all things Eat Pray Love.

Which of these two movies do you plan to see this weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

Next week: Vampires Suck and Pirahna 3D!

• Check out Kanye West and Beyonce‘s new single, “See Me Now.” (Idolator)
• Jersey Shore‘s Snooki makes $30,000 an episode. No, that’s not a type-o. (Starpulse)

Apparently, Michael Cera is a lot stronger than he looks. He’s even capable of getting run over a bus and walking away from the experience unscathed.

Cera and his Scott Pilgrim vs. the World co-star Jason Schwartzman did double duty on Good Day Atlanta on Tuesday, promoting their new comedy and presenting the weather report. The day’s forecast? Sunny with a 100 percent chance of hilarity! 

Check out the laugh-tastic video below: 

Pretty funny, but Cera and Schwartzman aren’t the only entertainers to try their hand at predicting the weather with gut-busting results. Check out this clip of party-positive troubadour Andrew W.K. (if you haven’t already entered our contest to win a date with him, do so now) breaking things down for the good people of Tulsa below:

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World stars Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman have some seriously big … bags.

The indie cinema golden boys decided to show GQ how to cool down in the stifling New York summer heat with “pantsless Saturdays.” In the words of GQ, “Monday through Friday belongs to our bosses, Sunday to our Lord, but Saturday, it’s all about the boys.”

The duo were joined by co-star Chris Evans doing regular dude things like admiring hot ladies at the park, riding a bicycle, and shopping at Prada, all while naked from the waist down. Thoughts? Concerns? Leave ‘em in the comments!

Michael Cera hit up this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego to promote his highly anticipated film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, due out in theatres on August 13, 2010.

Every girl likes a guy with a sense of humor so you would think that a famous funny actor like Michael Cera would have no problem picking up women. Unfortunately, after taking a glimpse into the 22-year-old actor’s pick-up line skills, we can see that he may not be the smoothest pick-up artist out there.

In a hilarious interview with Playboy magazine (via Huffington Post), Michael jokingly tells the lad mag what his worst pick-up line is:

Hey, lady, those are some sexy-*ss extensions. I guess you won’t mind if I extend to you a personal invitation to party with me one-on-one in a scary motel room.

Okay, that is pretty bad, but also pretty hilarious. We can only hope that Michael actually said that to a woman and didn’t just make it up for a laugh.

Michael also goes on to jokingly lament the fact that there are not enough women his age who are brave enough to approach him:

Yes [I like women who take charge], but they’re hard to find. For example, when I go out to a restaurant I know every girl in there wants to come say hi and be sexually aggressive, but they’re all so gripped by shyness that they don’t even make a move. In some cases the shyness is so severe they won’t even look at me.

So is that an invitation for all women to approach you and be sexually aggressive? Be careful what you wish for…

You can catch the former Arrested Development actor is starring in the upcoming movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Ever wonder how tween sensation Justin Bieber has managed to attain and maintain such a remarkable amount of swagger at the tender age of 15? Well, it’s been plaguing our minds, too.

Luckily, The Biebs broke it all down for us in the New York Times, revealing that he actually employs the services of a “swagger coach” to teach him the ancient Jedi-like mysteries of, um, swagger. His name is Ryan Good, he’s a former assistant to Bieber’s mentor Usher and, as the “One Time” singer puts it, he “helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do.”

Bieber isn’t the only celeb who has a little help in maintaining an A-list level of fabulousness. Click through our photo gallery to discover other little-known (until now) positions in the celebrity-assistant field.
