Man ... Jeff Bridges is cool. Jeff and 'TRON: Legacy' co-star Olivia Wilde stopped by our friends at Moviefone's pad to tell what it was like working on the film and, as an extra bonus, Jeff gave a review of the movie by none other than 'The Dude'!
Listen to Bridges talk long enough and it's easy to see why he was cast as 'The Dude' in the iconic 'Big Lebowski.' His description of his perfect day off is a stream of consciousness trip that almost seems like he transports himself there in his mind. He also tells of another film of his he'd like to see another sequel to, now that he's stepped outside of the video game world.
It's not all about Jeff. Olivia explains how 'TRON' has affected her personal style, "'TRON' sort of knocked a little bit of the hippie out of me." She also tells how all those hours of getting in and out of her skin-tight costume (mmm ... skin-tight) helped her get into character and ready for the digital world.

True Blue 'Avatar' Star Opens Up About Sequel
In 2010, Hollywood went bonkers for 3-D, hoping (and often failing) to emulate the runaway success of 'Avatar.' But attention, fans of James Cameron's 2009 blockbuster, because there's more Pandora -- and Jake Sully -- on the way, in the form of an upcoming sequel.
"We've been discussing that with Jim," Sam Worthington told Moviefone from the set of his new film, 'Man on a Ledge.' "He had some ideas he told us, while we were filming, which were really cool and out there."
The 34-year-old Aussie actor (he was born in England but raised down under) explained the work Cameron's doing to recreate Pandora: "At the moment, he's still writing what he calls 'The Bible' and detailing the world. Once he's detailed the world -- more so than it's already detailed in his big brain, anyway -- then, he said he can write the script, and we can go explore the world. Things like going underwater....going in the floating mountains."
And what's in store for his character, Jake Sully, the Marine who adapts to an 'avatar' body and helps defend an alien moon with his Na'vi love (Zoe Saldana)?
"I always joked and said that they were married, and Jake Sully got lazy, and Netiri kicked his butt," Worthington said. "But there is something to

Bristol Palin: I'm Thrilled About Levi's New Girlfriend
'Dancing with the Stars' finalist Bristol Palin wants to make one thing clear: She's hardly carrying a torch for Levi Johnston.
In fact, Palin -- who, in July, announced her sudden engagement to the father of her baby boy before abruptly breaking it off -- is now going out of her way to explain how thrilled she is that he's moved on.
"I have to be happy for Levi's new relationship because it sounds like his new girlfriend is influencing him to want to actually spend time with Tripp," Bristol, 20, tells E! News. "I sincerely appreciate her influence because

Neil Patrick Harris Backtracks After Twitter Rant About 'HIMYM' Guest
How we met the dark side of one of Hollywood's most likeable TV stars, Neil Patrick Harris, is a pretty short story: Less than 140 characters, in fact.
After soap opera star Eric Braeden ('The Young and the Restless') canceled his returning guest appearance on 'How I Met Your Mother' on short notice, Harris took to Twitter on Friday to blast the 69-year-old TV veteran with this blunt message: "Eric Braeden is a D-Bag. The actor, (Robin's dad) agreed to a cameo, then last night bailed, saying the part wasn't 'substantial' enough."
NPH soon added that Braeden was replaced with "fantastic" Ray Wise, and tweeted welcoming words to Wise about the cast change.
A few hours later, Harris tweeted his regrets ("Now I feel bad for the D-bag comment. Don't know the guy personally. I'm just fiercely protective of our show."), but the damage had been done.
When contacted for a response to Harris' slam, Braeden didn't hesitate to tell his side of the story.
"I really don't know who that fellow is," Braeden told EW.com. "He's a guy who stars in that series....It's very unfortunate. First of all, I came back from hip surgery. I was off for three weeks. I've doubled my work, 30 to 50 pages a day for me, alone. Everyone knows that I'm exhausted. I was not about to appear on a show for two lines, because that's what it amounted to."
Braeden says he accepted the invitation to return because his first guest spot in November 2008 (as father to Robin, played by Cobie Smulders) was such a pleasure. "I truly enjoyed working there last time," Braeden said. "The cast and crew and producers couldn't have been nicer."
But this time around, Braeden claims he learned only this week (one day before the taping, in fact) just how tiny the role was in the script, which he says he should have been given weeks in advance.
"His choice of words bothered me," Braeden said, about Harris' insulting tweet. "It seems to me like a young whippersnapper, having seen himself on a few covers, who's received a few awards, is now suddenly suffering from the first signs of hubris. I've been in the business for 50 years. I've seen people come and go and I'm still here."
"If he is a worthy adversary, he'd better not cross my path," he said, laughing. But he added, "I will let bygones be bygones."
Even if 'forgive and forget' is his New Year's resolution, Braeden will almost certainly be grilled more about the 'HIMYM' brouhaha when he appears CBS' chatfest 'The Talk' on Jan. 14.
