What a shame that she and Duchovny were never in the frame for Spartacus.

Busted, dammit!

If you like your Claire Danes in fucked-up freakout mode with mad staring eyes pointing in slightly different directions, hie thee hence to your video repository of choice and get some of that Homeland action on your viewing device. Top hottie for guys who like their women in restraints and head-bags.

Back in my pre-teen years when Laugh-in was airing I used to get a monster boner whenever Lily Tomlin was on screen. Oh no, wait… it was Goldie Hawn. Sorry.

'Was'. It's spelled 'was'.

Well, you pretty much exactly described the Britain of 2013 right there, mister American fancy pants with all your mod cons and hygene.

I played NMH's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea to a friend recently. He observed that it was very white - meaning that he could hear no trace of the MOBO roots that inform so much pop and rock, and that it pointed more towards fishermen's shanties, colliery brass bands and Western European fin de siècle angst.

I skimmed the beginnings of most of them and found numerous references to Jack Reacher's extrordinary…

You did say 'actors', didn't you?
