Over? Really?

From Michael Ausiello of TV Guide:

Nothing's official, but the buzz is that a tentative agreement has been reached,
with an announcement coming as early as tomorrow. But it's hard to tell what's
solid intel and what's just spin. To wit: In the past 24 hours, one source close
to the negotiations insisted that talk of a resolution was way premature.
"There's no deal," maintained my spy. "That's just misinformation put out by the
AMPTP to pressure the WGA." But moments before I put this column to bed, I heard
from another very plugged-in source that the deal is done. Short story shorter:
There's cause for optimism, but not celebration. Yet.

Big Ali Larter Spoiler!

01/08 - No [Niki is not coming back(Damn!)]. But that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Ali Larter. I'm hearing that the plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over. Not Jessica (double damn!), not the whipped-cream chick from Varsity Blues, and that leaves...someone we've seen before. Of course, all that is subject to change due to the current holding pattern.

And keep it clean.....in other words, non of those recurring E-Claire fantasies, ok?

Newswire 1.8.08

Hayden Panettiere tells Lucky magazine’s February issue that she lives for those moments off-set of “Heroes” when she can wear something other than a cheerleading outfit! “On the show, I spend most of my time in a cheerleading uniform,” the 18-year-old actress says, “so in real life I like to have a lot more fun with my clothes.” Panettiere plays Claire, the literally invincible cheerleader on NBC’s hit drama series. Describing her style as “very frenetic,” the actress admits her penchant for panoply “changes as quickly as my mood.” But, she confesses, her obsession “about really stunning heels” is perfectly consistent. “I get excited even taking the elevator up to the shoe floor at Bergdorf’s.” Lucky hits newsstands Thursday.

Malcolm McDowell ("Linderman") on Lindsay Anderson

BY DANA OLAND - doland@idahostatesman.com
Edition Date: 01/04/08
Malcolm McDowell met Lindsay Anderson at a nerve-wracking audition in 1967. At the time, McDowell had no idea that interaction would change his life.

Anderson cast McDowell as Mick Travis, the student revolutionary in "If" a film that propelled McDowell to stardom in England and led to McDowell's most famous role, as Alex de Large in Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange."

The two clicked on film and became lifelong friends. McDowell created a one-man show as an endearing tribute in 2004, on the 10th anniversary of Anderson's death. Now it's a film, directed and produced by Caldwell-based filmmaker Mike Kaplan, who, along with McDowell, will present the film, "Never Apologize," at a one-time showing Jan. 12 at the Egyptian Theatre. The showing is for an Idaho International Film Festival event.

The film is funny, poignant and fascinating as McDowell delves into Anderson's complex psyche and shares bits of theatrical and film lore and history. He recreates this evocative time in British film through his memories, Anderson's diaries, books and letters. He deftly recreates all the larger-than-life characters who intersected Anderson's story, including John Gielgud, Lillian Gish, John Ford, Bette Davis, Alan Bates and Rachel Roberts. Some may have fallen out of popular memory, but this film offers a chance to remember and explore some of the best films of that era.

As a filmmaker, Anderson helped shape our contemporary view of film as art.
Somewhat of a radical character, Anderson made movies that pushed at the social fabric of the 1960s. His films included the raw, gritty, Oscar-nominated "This Sporting Life" (1963), his groundbreaking trilogy "If," "O Lucky Man" and "Britannia Hospital" and the lyrical ode "The Whales of August."

The title for the piece comes from a mantra of Anderson: "I never apologize," even though he was easily one of the most difficult and demanding personalities around.

Rumors have been swirling for awhile now, but the paparazzi caught Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia out together in LA this weekend. (Click here to see the photo.)
Hayden only recently turned 18, and Milo is 30. I bet someone was counting the days until she turned 18! Before hooking up with Milo (and before turning 18), Hayden dated Laguna Beach star Stephen Colletti.

LOS ANGELES — It seems the romance between Kate Hudson and comedian Dax Shepard is definitely off and things between the comic and "Heroes" star Kristen Bell are definitely on.
The comely new couple was caught getting cozy together at Bahamas hotspot Aura Nightclub at Atlantis last Thursday, where they danced and drank into the wee hours.
"At first they seemed a little awkward together and with the attention," our spy said. "But eventually they relaxed; I guess it is never easy 'coming out' with a new relationship."

It's brilliant the way the U.S. Postal Service sells all kinds of collectors stamps they know won't be used as postage, thus padding the profit margin. I mean, no Elvis fan could allow the King to be canceled, could they?

In the same vein, "Heroes" fans could look forward to licking the backside of Peter Petrelli postage and slapping Hiro Nakamura onto their utility bills - not that they would.
Head on over to the NBC Universal Store and check out all five "Heroes"-themed stamps available in sheets of 20. Besides Peter and Hiro, sheets featuring Claire, Nathan and the Helix symbol are also available. Single sheets of one of the four characters sell for $21.95, while a set of all five sheets sells for $99.95, a savings of $9.80.

Clearly, these are must-haves for only the most die-hard "Heroes" fans. Sure, they're frame-worthy, but I don't have an extra Benjamin for stamps I can't use to send mail ...
You could use them, however, to send your strongly worded letters urging the writers and studios to get back to the bargaining table so we have a chance of seeing actual "Heroes" episodes before fall. (DEFINATLY!!!)

The Howard Roarke Testimony from "The Fountainhead"

This is the monolouge of Howard Roarke, played by Gary Cooper, in the motion picture "The Fountainhead." I'm not an Ayn Rand fan, but these words pretty much sum up who I am as best as anything.
