Apparently, there are buttons even Bruno won’t push. The makers of Sasha Baron Cohen’s new film have decided to excise a scene making fun of Michael Jackson, according to Total Film.

In the scene, Bruno calls Michael’s sister, LaToya, and makes fun of her brother’s voice and tries to get his phone number. The scene was in pre-press screenings but won’t make the final print.

• What’s cooler than playing one famous real gangster? Playing two in quick succession.

Fresh off his part as Baby Face Nelson in Michael Mann’s epic Public Enemies, Stephen Graham jumps into the extremely juicy role of Al Capone in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming TV series, “Boardwalk Empire”.

Graham, a Brit who also made a memorable turn in the jarring This is England, talks with Empire about maintaining a New York accent: “I spend all my time with the teamsters, the drivers, because they’re all from New York. I hang around with them and eat Italian food.”

• Amy Adams joins an already strong cast in the upcoming “The Fighter”, according to the MTV Movies Blog. Mark Wahlberg is playing true-life boxer “Irish” Micky Ward, while Christian Bale is Ward’s trainer and brother. Adams is a tough-as-nails paramour for Micky, who won the world welterweight title in London and is well-known for his three epic fights with Arturo Gatti.

Diane Keaton was injured on the set of the film Morning Glory. She bumped her head, but she is OK, according to AccessAtlanta.

However, the circumstances surrounding the injury have me worried. Apparently she was filming a scene in a sumo suit. This can’t end well.
