Paramount Pictures announced yet another buzzworthy addition to its “Transformers 4” cast today, Chinese actress Li Bingbing.

Cinephiles might recognize Bingbing from her previous work in films like “Resident Evil: Retribution,” “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan,” and alongside Jet Li and Jackie Chan in 2008’s “Forbidden Kingdom.”

There are no details yet as to what kind of character Bingbing has signed on to play, but given her experience in and popularity for her action-oriented films and television shows in China, it is fairly safe to assume that she will not be playing a helpless damsel in distress. Perhaps she’ll be more edgy femme fatale or a possible villainess in cahoots with the previously-announced human baddie played by Kelsey Grammer?

Bingbing joins Grammer, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Jack Reynor, Nicola Peltz and Sophia Myles in the upcoming film.

Jennifer Lawrence has got the blues again, and she's enjoying it more this time around.

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer took to his Twitter account today to post a pic of Lawrence in costume and make up as Mystique, the sexy but villainous mutant from the Marvel Comics universe, giving us all a preview of how she'll appear in the next "X-Men" movie.

"First look: #JenniferLawrence as a vengeful #Mystique. #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast," Singer tweeted, tagging a picture of Lawrence looking patient but ready to put her powers to work, while a make-up artist puts the final touches on her head-to-toe blue skin and bright red hair.

Judging from Singer's picture, Lawrence doesn't look radically different than she did in 2011's "X-Men: First Class," where she first took on a younger version the role Rebecca Romijn played in 2000's "X-Men" and two subsequent sequels. Yet for Lawrence, things are radically

So says the narrator of the new teaser trailer for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" as four familiar-looking silhouettes approach us, eventually being revealed as Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell) and Champ Kind (David Koechner) ... and yes, their hair is perfect.

"We haven't seen you in a while, America -- you haven't changed a bit," says Burgundy, prompting other random greetings and fun facts from the members of his Action News team.

"I've got a new cologne -- it's called Venom," says Fantana. "It's pretty much one hundred per cent snake venom." No doubt you'll find this in Fantana's extensive cologne cabinet next to Sex Panther, the fragrance featured in the original "Anchorman"

However, the comedic actor tried on a T-shirt last Thursday with a message that reads the opposite.

Bennett, who's a huge jokester in real life, stopped by PAR-La by DiLascia store in West Hollywood on Thursday, where he saw the shirt in the window.

Disney has announced that a new animated "Star Wars" series, "Star Wars Rebels," will be premiering in the fall of 2014. The series will kick off with a two-hour movie debuting on the Disney Channel, and the following episodes will be aired on Disney XD.

Is Robert Downey Jr. the only man who will ever play Iron Man? Marvel says 'no.' (Photo: Paramount Pictures)As "Iron Man 3" continues to rake in the cash (it's surpassed the $1 billion mark worldwide and counting), everyone's abuzz about "Iron Man 4." Such an endeavor would seem like a no-brainer for Marvel, and the studio is completely dedicated to doing it ... whether Robert Downey Jr. is on board or not.

It's no secret that Downey Jr. has expressed reservations about returning for another stand-alone Tony Stark adventure, especially considering that it wouldn't happen until well after "The Avengers 2," which doesn't hit theaters until May 2015.

"I'd go start another one tomorrow, but it’s not tomorrow,” Downey told Entertainment Weekly, with
