St. Louis Woman Disturbs The Natural Order Of Garbage

A woman in St. Louis found a copy of the Twilight sequel screenplay in the garbage, and has returned it to the movie studios. Whoops. Leave sleeping garbage lie, lady! From the AP:

A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts--the pages from an upcoming "Twilight" sequel--in a trash bin.
Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel "New Moon" and one for a different movie titled "Memoirs." She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies' premieres, her lawyer said.

Ray recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air."

It's not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.

Uh, yes, it is clear. I'm no behavioral psychologist, but I am pretty sure someone READ THE SCRIPT, and said "Oh, I know where this goes," and put it in the garbage. Garbage always finds its level (level = garbage can). I like that her reward for returning the TRASH-COVERED script to the studio is that she gets to attend the movie premiere. What a great reward. It's a good thing she's a 12-year-old beauty salon owner so that this works out perfectly.

EXCLUSIVE: First Look At Josh Schwartz's Script For X-Men: First Class

Interesting news about the next X-Men movie, you guys. From Variety:

Twentieth Century Fox is gearing up to continue its "X-Men" franchise with a younger set of mutants.
Studio has tapped "Gossip Girl" creator Josh Schwartz to write "X-Men: First Class."

Schwartz, the creator and exec producer of CW's teen sudser hit as well as Fox's youth-centric "The OC" and NBC's "Chuck," is expected to inject a next-gen sensibility into the superhero series, which has earned $1.2 billion worldwide.

Weird. I will admit that at no point during the first three movies did I think "You know what this needs? A tween sensibility." But that is why they gave the studio head job to Dana Gordon and not to me. (Yet!)

Anyway, the new movie definitely isn't going to be your dad's X-Men. An exclusive look at Schwartz's script after the jump:
