Who's up

James Franco? Old news. Little brother Dave is about to bust out, playing high-school hottie/drug dealer Eric in the big-screen "21 Jump Street" alongside Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.

Who's down

Liam Neeson's tattoo-artist cameo in "The Hangover II" was altered during the editing process; unavailable for reshoots, he was replaced by "The Notebook" director Nick Cassavetes.
