I'll just come right out and say it: I think werewolves are dumb. They could be interesting, and I'm sure they once were, but for me they're typically a let down, whether they be the lame werewolves in Wes Craven's Cursed or the badly generated werewolf transformation in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or even the blood-splattering werewolves of a well-written horror film like Dog Soldiers. Maybe it's because the first werewolves I was familiar with growing up were Michael Jackson in the "Thriller" video and Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf, but whatever the reason, the fact remains that I don't think they're scary and I don't think they're cool.

So, you can imagine how disappointed I was to see JoBlo's new spy shots from the set of "X-Files: Done One" (aka X-Files 2), which feature what looks to be a werewolf mask. I guess there's a chance that thing in the photos could simply be a wolf -- not of the 'were' variety -- and that would be OK. But seeing as this is the paranormal world of X-Files, I'm betting on my first thought being correct.

For other fans of the show, these photos are probably pretty exciting. They're certainly a lot more interesting than that first pic we saw last month, and more intriguing than these simple photos and video of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson from FlynetOnline or these more official shots from ComingSoon.net. Also, with all the secrecy surrounding the plot of the sequel, these photos allow us to speculate a great many things while we wait to hear about the actual plot synopsis. Perhaps one of those new cast members, say Xzibit or Billy Connolly or Amanda Peet turns into a werewolf. Wouldn't that be super neat? Yeah, well you already know I think it would be boring, but I'm trying to be excited for the rest of you.

Last week's License to Wed contest reinforced a couple of things for those of us over here at Moviefone. One, if it's bald and looks semi-crazy, it must be Britney Spears. Two, Michael Jackson jokes never get old. Congrats to our License to Wed loot winners below. They'll take home a beach towel tote, a Frisbee and a magnetic word set among other goodies. Alas, they will not be receiving the mechanical pooping baby pictured.

This week, we have a photo from the eagerly anticipated Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth chapter in the beloved boy-wizard saga. This time around, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) brace for the return of the vile Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and battle to free Hogwarts from the iron-fisted authoritarian rule of Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton). And, in the midst of all this, Harry apparently finds some time to chill in a telephone booth with Ron's dad (Mark Williams).

Writers of our three favorite captions for the photo below will win a veritable Goblet of Fire full of Harry Potter swag, including a Death Eaters T-shirt (handy for those times when you just have to eat the deceased), a wooden notebook with quill and ink (so you can chronicle your hopes and dreams, Ginny Weasley-style) and some Potter temporary tattoos (because you know Harry loves to show off his ink). Good luck!

Odds and ends from the Friday before a looong weekend:

• After originally setting a release date of May 2, 2008, Columbia Pictures has decided to push Bond 22 (ya know, the one that comes after Casino Royale) back a few months and, instead, debut it on November 7, 2008. The next installment in the James Bond franchise has run into a bit of trouble as of late, what with director Roger Michell quitting the project. No new director has come onboard yet, though Richard Curtis (Love Actually) has been rumored to be penning the script.
• You know it's a wacky Friday when Michael Jackson makes it into Quickhits. The pop star (who was recently acquitted of child molestation charges) is in talks with John Landis (Animal House, The Blues Brothers) to direct his comeback video. While this may seem a bit strange to some of you (for many different reasons), Landis has a history with Jackson, having helmed the videos for Thriller and Black and White. Says Landis, "Michael is a genius. He's obviously an eccentric but he really has a great talent." And that talent is?
• In my wildest dreams, I never imagined a film could be described as a 'Jewish blaxploitation movie.' However, The Hebrew Hammer is just that ... and I loved every minute of it. Thus, I was thrilled to hear writer-director Jonathan Kesselman is planning a sequel and calling it Hebrew Hammer 2: Hammer vs. Hitler. (Ed: Will this come before or after his screen version of Beemer?) After Hammer battled Santa in the original, I think it was pretty obvious who the bad guy in the follow-up would be. Anyway, according to reports, Kesselman has written the recent Mel Gibson "incident" into the script. And, apparently, Gibson dies at the end of said scene. Says Kesselman, "I think if Mel wants to truly extend an olive branch to the Jewish Community as a whole, his on-screen death would go a long way in accomplishing that goal." Hmm, I guess that's one way to look at it.

While the search continues for James Bond's leading lady in Casino Royale (even though filming has already begun), one unlikely candidate may have just stepped up to the plate. Lee Tamahori, who directed Die Another Day, was arrested on January 8th on prostitution charges. Apparently, Tamahori was dressed as a woman when he solicited sex from an undercover police officer.

Tamahori, who also directed XXX: State of the Union, Along Came a Spider and Mulholland Falls, could spend up to 6 months in jail and face a $1000 fine if convicted. Seeing as Mark Geragos (Michael Jackson, anyone?) is his attorney, I'd expect Tamahori's excuse to fall into the "They said they needed a Bond girl...and fast" category. Okay, I know I'm joking around here and all, but we really do have a serious problem on our hands. I mean, why on earth are famous Hollywood types (Hugh Grant?) so cheap when it comes to their prostitutes? Perhaps someone should call Oprah. We, as a community, demand an answer.

Insert painfully unfunny "Not Home Alone anymore" joke ... here. In just about the saddest child star gone wrong news I've ever heard, word on the street is has it that an apparently cash-strapped Macaulay Culkin has signed on to join Anna Nicole Smith and Dennis Rodman in a British "celebrity" version of reality hellhole, Big Brother. As if the very fact that Culkin has, at 25, already given up on legitimate success wasn't bad enough, a source involved with the production of the show told a British tabloid that Culkin was primarily asked to be on the show in the hopes that he'd dish the dirt on his sometime best friend ... yes, that's right ... Michael Jackson.

"This is a great coup for us," the source told the Daily Star. "Because of his friendship with Michael Jackson, you're almost getting two for the price of one." It gets worse: the Channel 4 source admits that the network was "desperate to bag Macaulay because we want some big name Americans who will be controversial and have a chequered history...But more importantly he has been privy to Jacko's private world at Neverland."

When D-listers debase themselves on reality television, I'm usually the first to point and laugh (oh, how I crave a Season Two of Breaking Bonaduce). But just a couple of years ago, when he was starring in Party Monster and Saved!, it looked like Macaulay had a decent shot at a merit-based comeback. How did he get from there, to selling out Michael Jackson on trash British television? The mind reels. 

AmIAnnoying.com has released its official lists of the Most and Least Annoying personalities of the year, and whilst all the usual suspects are represented - Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and, for the second consecutive year in the number five slot, the elusive Osama Bin Laden – surely the least surprising "winner" is the sites pick for the most annoying celebrity of all, Mr. Tom Cruise. His antics have a far reach: surely at least in part thanks to his promotion thereof, the whole of Scientology came in at #17. Also on the list: Sadaam Hussein (still annoying in jail), Adolf Hitler (still annoying in death), and Tara Reid (still annoying in Taradise). Far more random is the Least Annoying, which is topped by the venerable Gene Hackman and includes such strange listfellows as John Goodman, Lisa Kudrow, and Leonardo Da Vinci. And surely there's been some mistake - how could Mandy Moore be the 4th least annoying person of the year? Shouldn't Entourage fans be up in arms?
