Ken Livingstone can't even win at Madame Tussauds, who does Tom Cruise think he's rocking, and how can Bob Geldof question his granddaughter's name?
Rock god?
Tom Cruise is the latest cover of W magazine, appearing in just leather trousers and lashings of eye makeup to promote his new movie Rock of Ages. The film trailer is as bad as this cover.

Things are just going for bad to worse for Ken Livingstone. His wax work has already been removed from Madam Tussauds. A spokesman for the museum said it was 'unlikely to be seen again.'

Peaches Geldof's father 'doesn't know' how to pronounce her son's name.

Asked how to pronounce the baby's name on 'Lorraine', he said: 'Shut up, I don't know. I don't know, I haven't said it yet - I can't bring myself to say it. 'I wanted to call him Leonard - Leonard Cohen. 'Have you met my grandson Leonard Cohen?' But he's a fantastic little chap.'

Peaches Geldof won't have son circumcised
26 April 2012 12:02 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Peaches Geldof will not have her newborn son circumcised. The 23-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof - who gave birth to Astala Dylan Willow on Saturday (21.04.12) - converted to Judaism for fiancé Thomas Cohen last year, although both have decided against having the little one undergo the traditional procedure. Thomas, who fronts band S.C.U.M, said: 'Even though we're both Jewish, our baby won't have a Jewish circumcision.' And another thing their first-born won't be having is a nanny as the love-birds are determined to do everything themselves. Thomas told the Daily Star newspaper: 'We definitely won't have a nanny. We have already made that decision. 'It'll be just us and our families looking after our baby. 'We've discussed how we're »

Derek Review: 'Like Boris Johnson Eating A Pot Noodle'
12 April 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There were some things about Derek - Ricky Gervais’s character piece set in an old people’s home - that were uncannily familiar to the comedic tricks he pulled off to stunning effect in The Office – the mockumentary form that he helped perfect, the undercutting punch lines seemingly off-mike, the cut away from the set piece to the more intimate chats direct to camera.
This worked in its usual fashion for Gervais’s effortless throwaways – “Ferne Britton before she had her stomach tied up or something”, but jarred, initially, when Derek was crying about the loss of his favourite resident Joan, who told him kindness was magic. I repeat, initially.
There was a lot of Norman Wisdom in Gervais’s take on Derek, with a big smidgeon of Mr Rigsby thrown in for good measure. But, if it showed his limitations as an actor, he was positively De Niro-esque in comparison with Karl Pilkington. »

Geldof's Dog Attacked In Park
6 April 2012 3:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Pregnant socialite Peaches Geldof had to rush her dog to a veterinarian on Friday after the labrador retriever was attacked in a London park.
The daughter of Irish rocker and Live Aid hero Bob Geldof was walking her pet Parpy when he was bitten by a Staffordshire bull terrier.
Detailing the upsetting incident in a series of Twitter.com posts, she writes, "Parpy got bitten by a staffie (Staffordshire) in the park! This staff had a big stick, parpy went over to help him carry it and he pinned him down and savaged his leg!! Parpy cant walk on way to vet (sic)! It was so horrible. I hate these people who think that training their dogs to be aggressive & violent is ok. Sick. Poor parpy is whimpering.
"He has a heart of gold & only wanted to help the evil staffie carry his stick. Vet will fix his leg but it shouldnt (sic) have happened. Furious."
Geldof's pooch had his leg bandaged by the vet and the star, who is due to give birth later this month, assured fans he would be just fine.
She tweeted, "Thanks everyone 4 ur (sic) kind well wishes to Parpy chops! He had two shots at the vet & didnt (sic) make a peep, he is going to rest & will be fine!" »
10 Films With Song Names For Titles
3 April 2012 2:23 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To celebrate the release of This Must Be The Place, I have listed ten films which share their name with songs. For those who don’t know, This Must Be The Place shares its name with the Talking Heads tune. And even though film and song have little in common, both song and Talking Heads front man David Byrne, appear in the film.
There is a proverbial bottomless pit of films and song which share a title. Some overtly, in reference to each other, whilst many are just tenuous links. My list has been dictated purely by a love of rock music. Bar one disco tune and a classic piece of soul; everything you are about to see is, like the film which inspired this list, connected to the warrior poets of melody. The likes of music based films such as The Wall or Yellow Submarine have been omitted for the sake of originality, »

On The Rise 2012: 10 Actors We're Tipping For Stardom In The Future
29 March 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Last week, we took a look at the relative dearth of leading men in Hollywood: why Tom Cruise, Will Smith, et al. remain at the top of the tree and why so few serious competitors have emerged since. But one of the most exciting things about our job is getting to watch the new names that emerge, breakouts who have the potential to join the A-listers, or at the very least, deliver a host of hugely exciting performances for decades to come.
So we've decided to kick off our On The Rise selection for 2012 by looking at some of the actors who we're tipping for big things in the next few years. Last time we made these kinds of picks and predictions we did pretty well, listing the likes of Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, Jason Sudeikis, Adam Scott, Jake Johnson and David Oyelowo who have all gone on to become much-sought-after names, »

The Prince And The Composer
7.30pm, BBC4
One does like a tune one can hum: Prince Charles speaks up for composer Sir Hubert Parry (1848-1918), best known for setting William Blake's Jerusalem to music, and the hymn Dear Lord And Father of Mankind. Parry is often considered a minor figure, especially compared to English composers who followed, such as Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Charles thinks Parry deserves better and, with the help of Parry's music and contributions from the likes of pianist and broadcaster David Owen Morris, he builds a decent case. Jonathan Wright
