He arrived today, Don Draper aka Jon Hamm did. Very handsome. Picked up some Tim Hortons before hopping in the car, off to work here in Vancouver on Sucker Punch. It’s a small role. He’s called High Roller. Sounds perfect. A man among the girls – Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens, Carlo Gugino, Jenna Malone, in tandem with Sucker Punch, Jon has been working for several weeks on Ben Affleck’s The Town, and has a role in James Franco’s upcoming Howl as Jake Erlich the famed attorney.

Many of you wrote yesterday pointing out, quite rightly, that he at least deserved to be included in the analysis. I apologise for the oversight. This is Colin Firth last night at 2 events in LA – first a screening of A Single Man and then at the BAFTA/Brittania Awards wearing a tux and, sigh, my favourite smile. Full Story
Have you seen this? It’s the first look at James Franco on General Hospital. Don’t ask me about the storyline. I don’t care about the storyline. What I do care about are the scenes. Soap opera scenes are long and drawn out. Takes them days to have one conversation. Excruciating ordinarily but in this case, it means every day during the week there’s a long long LONG close up on James Franco for at least cumulatively 10 minutes an episode. Full Story
It’s been a year since Adrien Brody’s embarrassing spread in Hello Magazine showing off the fake castle he used to inhabit with then girlfriend Elsa Pataky. Elsa was unable to leverage anything more than a wannabe royal residence out of Adrien and their romance has since reportedly fizzled. Full Story
Many of you wrote yesterday about Brad Pitt’s beard beads… They’re left over from his Halloween costume, guess he just wanted to keep them. I have no quarrel with his beard beads. I have a quarrel with the beard. But this is Brad Pitt. Full Story
Tonight in London at the premiere of A Christmas Carol, here’s the always dashing Colin Firth alongside his equally elegant wife. A Christmas Carol is gunning for the holiday box office. So Colin has a hand in potentially commercial and critical successes this season. Of course A Single Man, for which he’s considered a heavy Oscar favourite, has to be where the primary focus is.

The Beckhams were courtside at the Laker game the other night. As you can see, Posh is trying out some soft waves on her growing bob. Looks good. Really good. She was very pretty that night. Would have been prettier if she’d let herself smile. But of course not. There were too many cameras around. Full Story
Reader sightings received yesterday… First up: a very low key Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, engaged and enjoying New York yesterday accompanied by his dog from Jamie L: I was just at the Washington Square Dog Run (NYC) and in came John Krasinski and Emily Blunt with his dog. They were really cute and sat on a bench and laughed with his arm around her the whole time. Full Story
Have to finish packing and hit the road, next post will be from the car but for now, enjoy yet another set of quiver inducing photos of Ryan Gosling and Dead Man’s Bones from their show in Portland the other night thanks to Erika R. Confession: I might have wasted time, a LOT of time, this morning simply staring at his forearms. Full Story
He should smile more. So few of his films involve smiling and when he does, as in The Departed, it’s almost like rueful smiling which doesn’t count, or smiling only during the first 5 minutes of the movie and then the world goes to pieces, and he is morose for the next 2 hours. Look how cute he is when he smiles. Full Story
Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig took their ladies out last night at the Worldwide Orphans Foundation 5th Annual Benefit Gala in New York. Hugh, as usual, was in fine form and great spirits, because he’s always in fine form and great spirits, and this is why we love him so much. Daniel, with longtime love Satsuki Mitchell, was naturally much more reserved, still working that moustache for A Steady Rain. Full Story
I was so excited to see you were at the U2 show last night in LA. And did your baby come along with your baby? She’s beautiful, Alicja Bachleda-Curus is so beautiful. And you’re holding her hand and you look happy and she’s Polish and that makes me happy because I married a Pole so we have that in common but I’ve told you that already, I just like repeating it because it’s the only connection we have, other than when I interviewed you at TIFF but it’s not like you remember, you were probably missing her and I would miss her too because she seems sweet and hasn’t sold you out to any tabloids like Jude Law’s baby mother. Full Story
Thanks to Samantha and Alanna for these photos from the Dead Man’s Bones show in Vancouver on Saturday night. My lady business can’t handle him in that shirt and that waistcoat bringing the mad quiver…It was a good decision not to go. It was a good decision not to test the Shame Threshold. Full Story
Shirt on or shirt off? Either option works for me and both would be better without that sh-t all over his face – check out David Beckham at an LA Galaxy game getting down to his skin for the fans and autographs. Would you ask for one on your chest? It’s not the classiest move ever, usually reserved for Nickelback fans, and I still ultimately wouldn’t but I will admit I would at least consider it. Full Story
Isn’t this a moist Monday morning. First Brad, Becks in a bit, and this is Joseph Gordon-Levitt with his brother the other day throwing wish coins into a water fountain. It’s not relevant to the story, but I am not attracted to the brother. JGL on the other hand… So f-cking cute. Anyway, JGL has two releases coming up on the same day November 13th, neither look terribly promising. Full Story
You loved Ewan McGregor on Wednesday. Today he’s back for more. Ewan appeared on Regis & Kelly yesterday – screen shots attached. Then he and his wife Eve flew to LA, photographed with their bags arriving at LAX. Ewan, in a jaunty hat, took care of the cart as he led them out of the arrivals area. Full Story
I’m late on this, sorry. But these photos…it’s worth it, right? You may have seen a silent James Franco on Saturday Night Live last weekend during a skit in which he, playing himself, was ignored by Keenan Thompson on a talk show sketch. At the end of that sketch, he stood up to dance. Full Story
It’s Clive Owen. In London promoting The Boys Are Back. I do, I love him too. He’s a sexy beast. And as you know, I want him to cuss at me. But I noticed something while I was watching Duplicity during a scene when he’s running. And it’s been a nagging bitch ever since. Is he knock-kneed? Knock-knee-ness not a quiver killer, it’s definitely not like open mouth breathing but, because fantasy f-cks are all about shallowness anyway, it’s also not exactly ideal. Full Story
Dead Man’s Bones played Toronto last night, and Montreal before that. Thanks to all of you from every stop along the way who’ve written with your experiences. By all accounts, he’s lovely, and gracious, and sexy as f-ck, and takes time with the fans, and you want him. Badly. Don’t blame you. Full Story
Ewan any day, but especially on a drenched day… yes. YES. Ewan and his wife turned up at the Amelia premiere in New York last night – he said he agreed to do the movie because he and Hilary Swank have been friends for years. Amelia of course is about Amelia Earhart, yet another Oscar bid from Swank who already has two while Annette Bening and so many others have none. Full Story
