FELICITY GOES TO SPY SCHOOL

It's a big reunion for Felicity creator JJ Abrams and his star Keri Russell – she's going to be appearing in the "It's seriously happening even though Tom Cruise has apparently completely lost his mind" Mission: Impossible 3. Tiny skinny Russell is taking the… Continue reading →

NICE MASK!

I don't know how the adaptation of V For Vendetta will come out – people I know who have been to the set said it looks good, and friends who have read the script and not shared it with me (!) have said that it's quality, if pretty different from the comic… Continue reading →

TOBEY GETS QUIET

On last night's fantastic episode of Entourage, Jeremy Piven was trying to convince young heartthrob Vincent Chase to star in an Aquaman movie (seriously, what a great show). They were at a Lakers game when Chase turned it down, saying he didn't want to get… Continue reading →
