It was a mere 11 days ago that rumors surfaced that supermodel Gisele Bündchen was in talks to star in Austin Powers 4. (You know, the movie that hadn't been mentioned in almost a year? That was our first clue that something was up). But today, MTV spoke with Seth Green (aka Scott Evil), and got the official word that we can chalk it up to just another crazy internet rumor.

Green told MTV, "I'll tell you what, if a script for Austin Powers 4 gets written and then it gets green lit by whatever version of New Line is still making movies, and everybody agrees to do it, then we'll have something to talk about. But at this point, Austin Powers 4 is nothing more than something Mike Myers talked about off-handedly during the Shrek press." I guess you can't get more straightforward than that.

I can't help but be just a teensy bit disappointed that a fourth film is not going to happen. I am probably one of the few people who thought Goldmember was pretty darn funny. Plus, I thought Myers was on to a good idea when he said that the fourth film would focus on Dr. Evil (with maybe the exception of the first movie, Dr. Evil's side of things was becoming infinitely more interesting). One thing is for sure, by the looks of the trailer for Myer's latest character comedy, I think I would much rather get another Austin Powers movie than another installment of The Love Guru.

For starters, I had no idea that a fourth Austin Powers film was even on the horizon. So imagine my surprise when the Boston Globe reported that Gisele Bündchen was in talks to star in the latest installment of Mike Myers' spy franchise. According to the Globe, Bündchen has already been given a script and her agent is arranging meetings with Myers and producer Jay Roach.

Myers first spoke about another Austin Powers film back when he was still prepping The Love Guru with Jessica Alba. Myers had told MTV, "We're developing a fourth [movie], entirely from Dr. Evil's point of view." Myers also said that he would only be working on a Powers film in his spare time. Judging by Myers' slate for 2009 it doesn't look like he is going to have much free time; the actor is still attached to star in the Keith Moon biopic, See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure, as well as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (both films are scheduled for release in 2009).

Almost one year ago, I fell head over heels for Annie Leibovitz's photographic recreations of famous, animated Disney scenes. She shot Scarlett Johansson as the running Cinderella, Beyonce Knowles as Alice in Wonderland, spinning around in teacups that came from Disney World, and David Beckham as the Prince who fights off Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty. Now the next set of images have hit the net. They are housed over at The Disney Blog, and I'm still swooning.

I think that what I like most about these images is that they're awesome even if I don't particularly care for the people in them. Leibovitz knows how to capture the essence of each scene, and it makes me wonder just how stunning a carefully-plotted, full-length feature would look. (D*mn good, but long to do, and expensive to boot!) This time around, we've got the above, which features Mikhail Baryshnikov as Peter Pan with Gisele Bundchen as Wendy Darling and a teeny Tina Fey as Tinker Bell. But there's also images with Jessica Biel as Pocahontas, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony taking a magic carpet ride in Aladdin, and one more from that film, which looks split from the first, that has Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie.

As an added bonus, TDB also has a bunch of behind-the-scenes pics, which help you see how these great images came to be.
