Since there’s nothing new on Annie, here are some older candids from October and November 2007. Enjoy.

Cory Edwards, director of Hoodwinked! and co-writer of Hoodwinked 2: Hood vs. Evil, announced on his Blog that “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere has joined the voice cast of the animated sequel, replacing Anne Hathaway as the voice of “Red.” Edwards, who again will voice Twitchy, revealed most of the voice cast in his post: Many of the original cast have returned. Glenn Close is still Granny, and Patrick Warburton remains The Wolf (very, very happy about that). Nicky Flippers will once again be performed by David Ogden Stiers. Andy Dick has voiced Boingo again (that’s right, Boingo is still around, as unstable as ever… but not the greatest threat this time). And yes, the goat is back. Japeth the singing goat will appear again, voiced by my good buddy Benjy Gaither. There are some brand new and very cool additions to this sequel. This time around, Red will not be voiced by Anne Hathaway, but by Hayden Panettiere, the “super cheerleader” from Heroes.

Actress Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend Raffaelo Follieri has agreed to pay $1.3 million (GBP650,000) to settle a lawsuit with billionaire Ron Burkle. Italian businessman Follieri was sued by Burkle last year (2007) when the U.S. supermarket tycoon accused him of squandering the sum to support his lavish lifestyle. A Delaware judge dismissed Burkle’s lawsuit on April 25 (2008) after the pair announced they had already reached an agreement, though Follieri initially denied the charges. Burkle first teamed up with Follieri on the purchase of distressed Catholic church properties. Earlier last month (April 2008) Follieri was arrested and charged with trying to pass a bad cheque, reportedly for around $250,000 (GBP125,000). He is reportedly now working with police to sort what he claims is a misunderstanding.

I added many captures of Annie portaying Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada. Happy watching!
