· The Playlist has photos from the upcoming Edward Norton/Edward Norton starrer Leaves of Grass, in which the actor plays twins -- one a responsible professor, one a pot grower. Marvel has immediately entered into negotiations with the latter.
· Joe Jonas is close to joining Garry Marshall's monstrous romantic omnibus Valentine's Day.
· Oh, do you love your HBO and your AMC? Well, Steven Soderbergh hates them.
· Just about everything in this St. Trinians clip is painful, so it hardly seems fair to single out Mischa Barton's wobbly accent, but, uh...I guess we just did. Sorry, Meesh.
· Paula Abdul left American Idol, says the Nyt, because she felt the other judges didn't sufficiently rebut rumors that she showed up late and was out of it. Not helping matters: her tendency to show up late and out of it.

Surfing around the net this evening, reading uncarefully, I was shocked to discover that Tilda Swinton had become Pringle's new face.
Before I could stop myself from what I instantaneously knew was both an embarrassingly Dim-American thought leap and a sign of lazy reading comprehension (oh that telltale apostrophe) I was thinking "What is Tilda doing selling potato chips?!?"

In point of fact, every year I love Tilda Swinton more. And since I've been hooked since 1991 or so (Edward II) that's a lot of love.

While it takes most series a while to find their voices, I was surprised to learn that Julia Sugarbaker (the incomparable Dixie Carter) delivers the first of her famous weekly rants on the pilot, and that the "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" speech that's so frequently screened at gay bars around the country happened in the second episode. So they were pretty much good
