Kenneth in the (212) "about face" is a new photography book restricting itself to just men's faces, unretouched. Lots of actors because they're handsome. I threw Jim Caviezel up to the left there. His career sure turned out odd, right?

/Film Kate Beckinsale sues a newspaper for libel damages, claiming that they gave the impression her career was in decline. This is the type of thing that could so easily backfire. Suddenly we're thinking: Why is she so touchy about her career? Declining?

• Actually no one asked Gwyneth Paltrow about her digestive system; she just volunteered the information. In short, it has been through a three-week liquid-only cleanse and feels great now. Also, it likes Spain more than America. That is all. • Someone needs to take Kevin Smith's Twitter away. Everyone else—Kirstie Alley, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Ashton Kutcher—you can keep yours now that he is officially the worst twitterer. • To quote Dlisted: "Jude Law left a theater in London (where's he performing Hamlet) last night wearing something that he fished out of Adrien Brody or Michael Lohan's closet." • Old Russian ladies singing...

20 Most Anticipated Movies Still to Come In 2009 At the beginning of the year I made a list of my Top 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2009. Of that list I have now seen five of them. Nine out of the remaining ten made this list as I bumped Alejandro Amenabar's Agora since it has still yet to get picked up by a distributor due to rather weak reactions out of the Cannes Film Festival. However, a few films have made their way onto this list thanks to strong film festival reactions as I have put together a list of 20 films to look forward to as we move into the final six months of 2009. One film I didn't include merely because it is coming out next week and I felt it would be a wasted space is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I am undoubtedly anticipating seeing it and had it been

Hollywood stars including Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law are at the centre of a massive phone-tapping scandal following allegations their voicemail messages were hacked into by a U.K. tabloid.
The actors are among dozens of celebrities - including supermodel Elle Macpherson and PR guru Max Clifford - soccer stars, and leading British politicians whose cell phones were allegedly targeted by the News of the World.
It is claimed some journalists from the newspaper accessed voicemail messages of the rich and famous and listened in in the hope of picking up juicy gossip.
The tabloid's Royal Editor Clive Goodman was jailed for four months in January 2007 for intercepting voicemail messages left on Prince William's phone.
Now British newspaper The Guardian alleges that during the police investigation into Goodman, dozens of other celebrities whose phones were tapped into were also named to cops.
It is claimed that since the probe, News Group Newspapers - which owns the News of the World - has paid out $1.5 million (£1 million) to celebrities in out-of-court settlements in a bid to hush-up the full scale of the phone-tapping scandal.
A News of the World spokesman has declined to comment on the claims.

...oh, don't act like you don't speak of them often.
I don't think I'll be getting to "Best of the Aughts" until late this year or possibly March 2010 given what's sure to be a crazed Oscar season but I was looking over those old Actors & Actresses of the Aughts list (compiled to reflect 2000-2005 cinema) and realizing how much can change within four to five years of cinema. Halfway through this decade Meryl Streep hadn't yet reconquered the world, Christian Bale hadn't yet started alienating fans, Scarlett Johansson hadn't yet started boring people, Heath Ledger hadn't left us, Holly Hunter hadn't moved to the small screen, Jude Law's career hadn't receded, Maggie Cheung hadn't vanished...

No sooner does T.R. Knight strip off his Grey's Anatomy scrubs than the former George O'Malley has landed his next gig - on Broadway. The actor, who announced his departure from the ABC hit last month, is set to star in a revival of playwright Ken Ludwig's 1989 farce, Lend Me a Tenor, likely to open on the Great White Way in February 2010, reports Variety. The production will be further distinguished in that its director will be a first timer, actor Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada and the upcoming Julie & Julia, also starring Meryl Streep). Lend Me a Tenor involves

...for it brings Jude Law to the New York stage. Yes!
---> "Yes you will see Hamlet for the 17th time*, Nathaniel. By royal decree!"
Every year I vow to be done with Shakespeare but the movie stars keep roping me back in. You know my feelings here. To sum up: there are 1000s of brilliant old plays by 100s of great playwrights; we are rarely presented with anything but 37 by 1. Even here in NYC. Yes we occasionally get a revival by someone whose name doesn't rhyme with Schmakeschmeare. But more often than not it's Romeo & Juliet or Twelfth Night and Hamlet above all else.
In fact I just saw Hamlet for the 16th time last year with Michael Stuhlbarg as the Prince of Denmark. (Stuhlbarg is a well regarded stage actor but he's getting his first substantial shot at a movie career as the lead in the next Coen Bros picture,

Jude Law is heading to Broadway! He’ll reportedly be playing the role of Hamlet on the Great White Way starting this fall. The show will open October 6th at the Broadhurst Theater in New York, and run for 12 weeks. You’d better your tickets fast, Broadway buffs, because you can bet this show will sell out fast with Jude as the star! Law joins the original British cast who did the show previously in London. This will be Jude Law’s first time back on stage since 1995. He first appeared in Indiscretions with Kathleen Turner and Cynthia...

After having finished watching the 1972 version of this film starring Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier, I decided to compare this version with the 2007 version. To say the least, the 2007 version of "Sleuth" pales in comparison. Michael Cane reprises his role, but he takes on what was once Olivier's role and Jude Law takes on the role of the hairdresser (formerly played by Caine; I bet Caine felt strange somewhat remaking a classic film). The 2007 has as much suspense, thrills, chills and drama as the '72 version, but the intensity and the mystery of a typical thriller is sorely lack...

British actress Sienna Miller had no qualms about stripping off for her movie The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh - because she would have done anything to keep her away from home following her high-profile split from Jude Law.
The Factory Girl star broke off her engagement to Law in November 2005 after he was caught having an affair with his children's nanny.
The scandal became tabloid fodder in their native U.K., and Miller admits she threw herself into her work in a bid to escape the media intrusion.
She agreed to star in The Mysteries of Pittsburgh in 2006 - even though it meant shedding her clothes for the part - but insists she will no longer consider roles requiring nudity, because she's moved on.
She tells Vogue magazine, "I don't think I feel comfortable getting naked now. I can see where I made the decision to make that film three years ago, but then you grow up and evolve and your tastes change.
"I was in this period where I was making movies back-to-back because I didn't want to be at home. Anything to not be in London. I was running away."
The movie was released in 2008 but was savaged by critics and film fans alike.

British actor Callum Blue has joined the cast of Smallville as the Kryptonian villain General Zod.
Blue, 31, whose credits include The Tudors and Secret Diary of A Call Girl, will appear in the upcoming ninth season of the show, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The supervillain previously appeared on screen briefly in 1978's Superman and more fully in the 1980 sequel Superman II, where the role was played by Terence Stamp.
Stamp now voices Clark's father Jor-El in the series, a role played on the big screen by Marlon Brando.
The recent finale of Smallville's Season 8 showed Zod appearing outside Lex Luthor's former home. The mansion is now the abode of Tess Mercer, Lex's successor as LuthorCorp CEO and also the editor of the Daily Planet.
Zod was previously featured in Smallville Season 5 as an evil spirit in the Phantom Zone dimension who possessed Lex's body and planned to turn Earth into a Krypton-like world.

Just as “Superman II” viewers kneeled before Zod, so too will “Smallville” fans bow before the very same menace — except this time, Terence Stamp is nowhere to be found.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Callum Blue has joined the ranks of “Smallville” as a series regular playing General Zod, the Kryptonian villain made famous in the Christopher Reeve-starring “Superman” movies.
Zod, one of Superman’s greatest opponents, was a Kryptonian general in charge of the planet’s military forces. After committing war crimes on the planet, Zod and his compatriots were banished to the Phantom Zone, though they’ve since broken free to attack Kal-El from time to time. Most recently, Zod was seen in the “Last Son” arc, co-authored by “Superman” helmer Richard Donner and Geoff Johns.
Despite his comic book presence, it’s undoubtedly “Wanted” actor Terence Stamp’s turn as the Kryptonian warmonger that remains the definitive version.

Some new character posters for Sherlock Holmes have appeared online, featuring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as detective duo Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. The latest trailer for Guy Ritchie’s take on the Victorian detective had more than a touch of set-piece, style and humour from the Pirates movies. It seems the poster campaign is following suit. Both Law and Downey Jr are decked out in Victorian chic attire, whilst Watson looks like the pensive straight man playing against the half smirking roguish Holmes. Take a look... .

Tuesday Top Ten Returns
My friend txt critic sent me this note yesterday: Any interest in coming with me to tues midnight Transformers 2 on IMAX? Only drawbacks:
1. It's $20
2. We'd have to get there early
3. It's Transformers 2 After I recovered from the Lol'ing following #3, I said no. No way am I giving $20 to Michael Bay. I assume Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will beat Up to steal that #2 box office hit of the year position and I weep for the (safely assumed) qualitative drop in that switcheroo. I don't understand the Transformers phenom. A lot of movies are good at blowing shit up and some of them actually have narrative and visual coherency to go with the pretty fireballs and lovely dust clouds. Why not line up for those? And as I bitched when the first Transformers picture rolled around, the only reason I ever enjoyed the robots in
