Note: I posted this review soon after I saw this movie at Sundance, and today it's out in theaters, so I thought I'd share my thoughts again. It has some flaws, but overall I really like this movie.
Henry Poole Is Here was one of the first non-documentary feature films to be snatched up by a studio at this year's Sundance, and I can easily see why.

Some of our favorite Gossip kids, Chace Crawford and Michelle Trachtenberg, were just a few of the stars out at the Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, CA, yesterday for the Dodge Challenger Celebrity Drag Race. They were joined by the likes of Audrina Patridge in her badass outfit, who has already demonstrated her need for speed on the back of Justin Bobby's motorcycle, as well as Carmen Electra, who posed with her fiancé and Luke Wilson. As for David Spade, well, he just made silly faces on the sidelines, and Snoop looked cool as ever, so nothing new there.

A few months ago I was thrilled to hear that Henry Poole Is Here got picked up by a studio at Sundance because it was hands-down one of my favorite movies there. Luke Wilson is totally engaging as Henry Poole, a curmudgeonly man who buys an ordinary house in Southern California. Soon his neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barazza) notices a stain on the outside of Henry's house that she thinks is the face of Jesus.

Well hey, Luke Wilson's looking a lot hotter than the last time we saw him! The darker haired Wilson brother was spotted reading the paper and enjoying his morning coffee in LA on Friday. He looks pretty relaxed and, in fact, ready to hit the links — perhaps he's even modeling something from his upcoming line of golf wear?

I love when celebrities get on board to help design athletic gear because it can help send a good message for people to get off their butts and move a little. Luke Wilson, who we've seen jogging and playing golf, has joined the likes of Scarlett Johansson by creating his own athletic clothing line with Puma and pro golfer Johan Edfors.
The line includes highlights such as chrome details, higher-end Merino wool materials, and personal color combinations and selections. 
A little while ago, Pop US noticed a bunch of famous Texans – including Owen Wilson and Jessica Simpson— racing lawn mowers at country singer Willie Nelson's ranch while filming the video for Nelson's "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore." We now have it here for you under the cut!
Jessica uses her hot pink lawn mower and girl power to beat contestants that include Owen, Luke Wilson and Woody Harrelson, though I think it's fair to say Owen doesn't go home empty-handed!
A little while ago, Pop spotted a bunch of famous Texans — Owen and Luke Wilson, Jessica Simpson, and even Dan Rather — racing lawn mowers at Willie Nelson's ranch while filming the video for Nelson's "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore." Well, now the video has arrived!
It's a cute, down-home country affair, with Jessica using her hot pink lawn mower (and matching helmet), crafty maneuvers, and some clever deception to prove who's really the best mower racer in all the land — much to the dismay of a sad-faced Owen. 
While the afternoon took a noticeably somber turn as the news of Heath Ledger's tragic death spread over snowy Park City, the morning was for celebrating as Oscar nomination news came to Sundance. While a lot of the celebrities left with the end of MLK day weekend, there was still swag to be scored for some of them. I was lucky enough to stop by the Pure & Natural Celebrity Eco-Retreat and Iconix "Gift Giving For A Cause" Suite benefiting Save the Children to see all the goodies the celebrities have been snatching up as souvenirs. 
I've already shared some initial thoughts about my Sundance experience so far, and Monday was another day of indie film, chilled hands, and long ticket lines. I had the good fortune to catch the Luke Wilson drama Henry Poole Is Here, along with the premiere of Morgan Spurlock's documentary Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? which was followed by a pretty fascinating Q&A session. I'm determined to see more great stuff today; for now, more thoughts:
Luke Wilson put on his exercise clothes and took his mustache for a belated New Year's resolution (?) walk/jog on Monday in LA. Luke has been M.I.A. for a while working on his facial hair and unfortunately it sounds like his latest film is similarly unsuccessful.
