Moore is reportedly being accused by a paparazzi photographer of hitting him when he was trying to get a picture of her, states TMZ. The photographer allegedly filed a battery report in regard to supposedly being hit by Moore.
The man reportedly had no visible injuries so it is unknown if it actually happened. The pictures reportedly show that the man was very close to Moore.
The matter will now be investigated.

HollywoodNews.com: Today you’ll read some glowing reviews for actors Alessandro Nivola and Abigail Breslin in a terrific indie film called “Janie Jones.” But Hollywood isn’t always glamorous. Late last night, firetrucks were suddenly called to the posh GramercyHotel, where the “Janie Jones” cast was partying after its premiere. Nivola, director David Rosenthal, the film’s producers, actor Josh Charles, and producer Celine Rattray got stuck in the elevator. This was not the usual glitch. The gang was stuck for almost 3o minutes until the NYFD gallantly saved them.
Earlier at the party, both Nivola and Breslin performed for the partygoers, including actors Parker Posey, Celia Weston, Mitchell Lichtenstein, Nev Schulman, and journalist Annette Tapert, each showing off their musicianship.
Nivola, who is non pro but plays an errant rock star in the film, turns out to play a mean slide guitar. Breslin, who’s 15 and an Oscar nominee from “Little Miss Sunshine,” has a NY based band called Cabb. She performed two numbers on guitar with one of the members of the band. (Take that, Johnny Depp!) “Janie Jones” was picked up by Jane Rosenthal and Robert DeNiro‘s Tribeca Films last spring. Now the fun begins–the movie opens in five cities with outstanding reviews. A grassroots campaign could get the two leads nominated for Oscars, and definitely Golden Globes (if they feed the HFPA the right meal).

HollywoodNews.com: Nicole Richie wants girls to handle Halloween a little differently this year as she made a plea to them on her Facebook page.
Richie posted a message to all the girls out there asking them to change things up for Halloween, states UsMagazine.com. “Girls, can we all pledge that we will not dress slutty for this Halloween? The jig is up!” Richie commented.
While Richie has been a victim of the slutty Halloween costume in the past, she has changed in the last few years as she has dressed as characters from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Toy Story.’

Hollywoodnews.com: You see? We’re not the only ones backing off of making bold predictions for Oscar contenders that’ve yet to screen. Even Diablo Cody, writer of Jason Reitman’s anticipated “Young Adult,” says she’s a little freaked out seeing their film on Oscar prognosticators’ lists, given the fact that the film has just started screening for select groups.
This clip was shot at the Hollywood Awards Gala in Beverly Hills over the weekend, where Cody collected the Hollywood Screenwriter Award for “Adult” from one of her heroes, Quentin Tarantino. It was one of many unbelievable and spontaneous moments that occurred on stage at the gala, and the clip hit so squarely on a topic we were discussing lately that I just had to post it. It’s from the L.A. Times (via Awards Daily):

Cody says “Young Adult” mainly is getting recognition on the awards circuit for Charlize Theron, who plays a spoiled, self-centered brat who returns to her hometown and raises hell. But she has to realize that a reunion of Team “Juno” would have Oscar tongues wagging. And now that some folks have seen the film, we’re hearing very good things about Theron, the script, the direction, and co-star Patton Oswalt.
“Young Adult” reaches theaters in December. We’ll see if it’s still in the Oscar discussion come January and February.

Hollywoodnews.com: We’re getting excited for “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” but not for the reasons you might be thinking.
Oh, sure, tons of folks will want to line up to see Tom Cruise risk life and limb as Ethan Hunt. The shots of him hanging off of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, the world’s tallest skyscraper, are breathtaking. I’m more interested, however, to see how animator Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”) handles full-blown action scenes in his first livce-action effort. The latest trailer for “Impossible,” posted to Yahoo Movies, suggests Bird’s style. We have it below, but be warned … there are serious spoilers contained within:

Wow. So again, Cruise is on the lam hoping to clear his name and salvage the reputation of the entire IMF squad. Can he handle it?
Have you seen any of these films?
“Ghost Protocol” will have an early IMAX opening on Dec. 16 before going wider on Dec. 21. Fans should be lining up around the block for that, as Warner also plans to sneak peek the opening prologue from Chris Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” ahead of Bird’s feature.
Exciting times at the theaters. Are you ready?

Hollywoodnews.com: While certain Oscar hopefuls have screened for audiences and critics and are riding waves of goodwill, we still have a handful of pictures we believe have a shot at getting into the race that have yet to screen.
You’ve no doubt heard the “Field of Dreams” phrase, “If you build it, they will come.” Well, in Oscar prognosticator world, we say, “If you screen it, they will write about it.”
This helps explain why Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” which has been working the festival circuit, has leapfrogged Steven Spielberg’s “War Horse” on Movieline’s current “Oscar Index.” In fact, Spielberg’s adaptation of the award-winning play and book has fallen behind “The Artist” on Stu Van Airsdale’s list, thanks in part to the fact that no one has seen “Horse” yet (outside of select insiders, I’m sure).
“If War Horse surges after it screens, fine. If it wins Best Picture, fine. But at least handicappers have stopped sipping the preliminary Kool-Aid,” blogger Jeff Wells comments.
There’s one way for “War Horse” to reclaim its spot atop pre-game Oscar charts: Screen for critics and deliver on its promise.
Until then, we’re speculating … and from the tidal shift that has occurred in the last few days, we’re far more comfortable speculating about films that we’ve seen – “The Help,” “The Artist,” “The Descendants” – than films that we haven’t.

HollywoodNews.com: Justin Bieber might want to be a little more careful with his driving as he was recently pulled over for being a little reckless.
Bieber was driving his Batman-themed Cadillac in a three-car motorcade when he got into a little bit of trouble, states TMZ. Bieber reportedly took off and cut off a California Highway Patrol officer which led to him being pulled over with his friends in the other cars.
However, the young star was simply issued a warning and was able to go on his way.
Do you think he is careless?

Hollywoodnews.com: Peter and Bobby Farrelly have been in the headlines this week for two projects we’re eagerly anticipating.
First, there was news that the brothers would like to shoot a “Dumb and Dumber” sequel – the less said about the “Dumb and Dumberer” prequel, the better – and might even get Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels to reprise their roles.
And now we’re getting our first official look at the actors chosen to play “The Three Stooges” in the Farrelly’s long-in-development comedy (above). Sean Hayes (Larry), Will Sasso (Curly) and Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe) co-star as the Stoogie leads, which reaches theaters on April 4. But it won’t be a traiditional biopic, like many believed. Instead, the Farrellys will tell three half-hour episodes, which makes more sense.
The photo above comes courtesy of USA Today. The Farrelly film co-stars Larry David, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson and Jane Lynch, to name just a few.
What do you think? Do they look enough like the original Stooges? Are you looking forward to “The Three Stooges,” or does a “Dumber” sequel sound better? Let us know.

Hollywoodnews.com: So that’s why it says “Bad Mother F—ker” on his wallet.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Samuel L. Jackson is the highest-grossing actor of all time. Jackson’s films reportedly have earned more than $7.4 billion in total grosses. It helps that Jackson, 63, has appeared in more than 100 movies over the course of his multi-decade career.
Which films helped boost Jackson’s tallies?
Well, his involvement in the Marvel superhero blockbusters, from “Thor” ($181M) to “Iron Man 2” ($312M), have boosted his profile. Then there are George Lucas’s “Star Wars” prequels … massive. And Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park” kicked a healthy $357M to his grosses.
And he isn’t slowing down. Jackson has four films on the docket for 2011, and an additional three in 2012. For now. There’s always time for him to add more.
