Amber is the new face of Guess! Ellen Von Unwerth will photograph her for the Guess Fall 2011 campaign next month in Los Angeles.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Guess for a long time and to be the new face of the Fall 2011 campaign is very exciting,” Amber said in a statement. “It was such an amazing experience to have been able to work with some of the most creative talents in the industry, such as Paul Marciano and Ellen Von Unwerth, who have collaborated on some of the most iconic campaigns in Guess history.”

Paul Marciano, Guess’ creative director said that Heard “embodies the essence of the true Guess girl with her natural beauty and classic all-American good looks.”

Amber’s campaign will be featured in upcoming magazine ads, in Guess retail stores and billboards. Very exciting!

Drive Angry will look to bounce back from an abysmal box office performance when it shifts gears and heads to home video on May 31.

The release date comes courtesy of Amazon.com who is listing separate 2D and 3D versions of the R-rated thriller starring Nicholas Cage, Amber Heard and Billy Burke. If a Blu-ray 3D version of Drive Angry is released it will mark the first foray into the Blu-ray 3D market by distributor Summit Entertainment.

In case you’re wondering how poorly Drive Angry performed at the box office, it only managed to attract $5.2 million its opening weekend in late February including surcharges from 3D ticket prices. Overall the film only brought in $15 million from worldwide ticket receipts.

The lead in the NBC drama pilot Playboy is being recast.

Third Watch alum Eddie Cibrian has been tapped for the role, replacing Jeff Hephner, who landed the part last week after a marathon of auditions. The decision was made after the pilot’s table read. Sources close to the show say that Hephner, who had never played a major role on a series before, was great in the tests and the producers love him as an actor but he didn’t work out in the pilot, whose cast includes Laura Benanti, Amber Heard, Naturi Naughton and David Krumholtz. Cibrian is expected start immediately as Playboy is slated to begin filming in Chicago on Tuesday.

Playboy, from 20th Century Fox TV, Imagine TV and writer-executive producer Chad Hodge, is set at the Playboy Club in Chicago in 1963. It centers on Nick Dalton (Cibrian), described as “the ultimate playboy.” He is an attorney in Chicago and a Keyholder at the glamorous, exclusive Playboy Club. A fixer who knows how to make problems disappear, he has mysterious ties to the mob. The pilot, directed by Alan Taylor, also co-stars Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Leah Renee and Wes Ramsey.

Cibrian recently co-starred on CSI: Miami for a season and did an arc on NBC’s freshman drama Chase this season.

Amber attended a cocktail and dinner hosted in honor of designer Michael Kors on Monday, March 7, at the Embassy of the United States in Paris, France. She wore a Michael Kors Collection Fall 2011 suntan viscose crepe cutout bodysuit, with a matching crepe pleat skirt and asymmetric belt. Mirrored platform sandals completed Amber’s look.

Better late than never! I’ve added HD screencaps and a few HQ stills from Amber’s cute Jimmy Fallon appearance from last week. Many thanks to Mariana and Jess for the HQs! You can view a video of the interview under the cut. I also uploaded screencaps from Amber’s Good Day NY interview, which also dates to February 25.

Former Numb3rs star David Krumholtz is set for a co-starring role in NBC’s drama pilot Playboy.

In the project — set at the Playboy Club in Chicago circa 1963 — Krumholtz will play the club’s general manager, a young Albert Brooks-esque bottom-line kind of guy.

The cast also includes Amber Heard (Zombieland), Naturi Naughton (Fame) and Laura Benanti (Eli Stone) as Playboy bunnies.

Krumholtz is also developing Igotchaback, a half-hour single-camera comedy for FX about an up-and-coming music industry manager tasked with representing an aging rap star mired knee-deep in an existential crisis. It’s loosely based on the lives of Wu Tang Clan founding member GZA and his publicist Heathcliff Berru. Krumholtz is executive producing and may star.
