Gossip: Ryan Reynolds To Play Pikachu; Kathy Griffin Returning To Times Square On New Years Eve

Ryan Reynolds has been tapped to star in a live-action Pokémon movie.

The film is called ‘Detective Pikachu’ and Ryan will play the lead — Pikachu.

Now, if we remember correctly Pikachu doesn’t say anything other than ‘Pika Pika!’ in a squeaky voice…so we’re not sure why Ryan’s casting was necessary.

The movie is based on a 2016 Japanese video game that requires players to solve mysteries with the help of Pikachu dressed like Sherlock Holmes.

We have so many questions, but at least the film is getting buzz.

Kathy Griffin Returning To Times Square On New Years Eve

Anderson Cooper has replaced Kathy Griffin with Andy Cohen on his New Years Eve special, but that doesn’t mean Kathy isn’t looking into other ways to get into Times Square.

“Anderson Cooper and CNN are not the only news outlets that broadcast live from Times Square on New Years Eve. There are literally hundreds of media in the square and Kathy is exploring other options,” sources tell STRAIGHT SHUTER. “While nothing has been signed yet, several online sites are looking at Kathy to host. Having her in the same small media press area as Anderson and Andy would make for great TV. Another option being discussed is filming Kathy at home watching and commenting on CNN’s coverage. Now that would be funny.”
