Matthew McConaughey Paid Tom Hanks $100 for 'Babysitting' His Son (VIDEO)

Matthew McConaughey says his toddler son is obsessed with two things: "anything that flies in the air" and 'Toy Story'. "'Where's Woody?'" he asks his father daily, McConaughey explained on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). At least Levi's parents can spread his viewing habits over three films.And given McConaughey's Hollywood connections, he can thank the films' stars personally. "I run into Tom Hanks Oscar evening. I go up and slip him a $100. He said, 'What's this for?' I said, 'Trust me, I owe you a lot more than that for the amount of time you been babysitting my son Levi.'" So, Woody is accounted for, but the 'Lincoln Lawyer' star will need to track down Buzz Lightyear's Tim Allen too.
Cinematical, TV Squad's detached fraternal siamese twin, also at Comic-Con

Even though TV Squad's very own John Scott Lewinski is fighting his way through hordes of overweight Rorschachs and pre-pubescent Chun Lis to get exclusive interviews and scoops on the newest TV news at the San Diego Comic Con, don't forget that our partners-in-crime from Cinematical are also there covering the latest flim-flam in film.
The movie side of the annual pop-culture cavalcade opened with one of the biggest names in the history of film and what could very well be one of the biggest names in the future of film. Director James Cameron screened a solid 25 minutes of his forthcoming sci-fi epic Avatar. Blogger Todd Gilchrist got a hint of the plot and special effects movie-goers can expect when the film hits theaters later this year and said it "promises to be both hugely entertaining and technically groundbreaking." Man, that's got me worried. That's what they also said about Titanic.
Could The Muppet Show really return to TV?

Are Kermit, Fozzie and Miss Piggy poised for a comeback? Jason wrote about it in June, and now there's more news if you believe this item from the UK Telegraph. Citing an unnamed source, the newspaper reported that How I Met Your Mother's star Jason Segel has written a script that brings Jim Henson's Muppets to the big screen, setting up a return to television. It sounds like a great idea, but without confirmed sources, I'd take the whole thing with a grain of salt.Disney owns the rights to the Muppets and they would produce the picture. Segel's story picks up with the Muppets reuniting long after their TV show has ended. They agree to put on one big variety show to save the studio. Should this come off as planned and the film is a hit, the Muppets would then come back to series TV.
