I can't recommend Green Wing hihgly enough. One of the strangest shows you'll ever see, and Mangan's Dr Secretan is hilarious.

@Shore Patrol - They're definitely not fake, you can tell by the way they get squashed in tight outfits. She's just put on a bit of weight since those photos were taken, and thankfully most of it has gone straight to her tits.

@Yeah - I don't understand how anyone could pity a self-made millionaire who gets to do whatever the hell he likes for a living.

DeNiro's speech was like a bad Jay Leno monologue.

Yeah, a lot of the Hollywood press is like "he'll NEVER be asked back again", which is beside the point as he's already stated he wouldn't do it again anyway.

Ricky's RDJ jokes were rather lame, but RDJ calling him "sinister" then talking about fucking all the femiale nominees was a bit pot, kettle, black.

I was previously on the fence as to whether Jones was sexy enough to pull off the Emma Frost character in the upcoming X-Men movie, but now that I've seen her in that dress I'm 100% sure she is.

Career Suicide?
It's absurd for anyone to claim that this was career suicide. Gervais writes, produces and directs all his own projects. He isn't reliant on casting directors and agents to get him work. He has long-standing and fruitful relationships with HBO and, especially, the BBC. He'll be just fine.

I second the Olsen love (she was also great on Conan this week).

It didn't air in the States? Wow, I must have illegally downloaded from Canada, I'm so cosmopolitan!

Cougar Town
I guess you may have missed it because you're on the road, but the wine bar owner appeared in Cougar Town this week.

Bring back Metal Box!

Hmmm….
Why don't Fox News run it as a documentary.

Leonard hasn't updated twitter or his personal website since his dismissal, I fear he may have killed himself. Either that or he's just hiding in his filthy shame.

I agree in principle that using punny names for shows is lame and a crutch, but in this example I think it's fine. I can absolutely believe there'd be a boxer nicknames 'Lights', as in the people he knocks down are staring at the lights. The 'Lights Out' name then works in respect to the character name, and the idea…

@Gozer - Check out the official QOTSA forum at http://forum.rekordsrekords….

@Judge Reinhold - You didn't like Martin Short in AD?!

His performances are always good, he just chooses shitty projects (see Hamlet 2).

This is the least commital thing I've probably ever said, but Stiller's OK. Some of his films are good, some of his films are shit. Same as Sandler, same as Ferrell.

It is true. It's a shame that Coogan's apparent self-esteem issues mean that he feels he hasn't truly succeeded until he's cracked the States.
