Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner loves nothing more than gossiping with her gal pals. The Catch Me If You Can actress said she can cope when husband Ben Affleck is away filming as long as she has her girlfriends close, W magazine reported.
"I can live with Ben working crazy hours. But I can't live without girlfriends. It's fine if he's not there; I just need someone to bitch about it to," Garner said.
The actress also revealed the couple wasted no time when it came to starting a family."We were like, 'Let's have a baby!'" And eight days

Best Films Of The Decade (aka The Naughties) From Alex & Terry
List # 1
By Alex Simon
When Terry and I initially discussed writing these lists, I had a tough time thinking back on 20 films over the past decade which I was really taken with, thinking that movies have sunk so low over the past ten years, that even choosing a dozen would be a short-order job. Thirty minutes into it, my list had nearly 60 titles! After much cutting, pasting, and re-cutting and pasting, here are my top 20 films (in no particular order) of the first decade of the 21st century, dubbed by many as “the naughties.” --A.S.
1.No Country for Old Men (Coen Brothers, 2007) An elegiac blend of stark beauty and full-throttle despair from two of our finest filmmakers, set in the contemporary American West. Every frame is damn near flawless, and would have been an even more perfect vehicle for the late Sam Peckinpah.

Spielberg No Longer Remaking ‘Harvey’

»
For a few months now it’s been known that Steven Spielberg was going to direct a remake of Harvey, the 1950 film starring James Stewart as a mild-mannered man who just happens to be best friends with a six-foot tall imaginary rabbit. Spielberg’s film was actually to be an adaptation of the original Pulitzer Prize-winning play that spawned the 1950 film, but it was still a remake in a sense.
However, news comes today from Variety that even though we’ll still likely see a Harvey remake, it won’t be with Spielberg at the helm. Even though he’s spent the last half year developing it, Spielberg delivered the news himself to 20th Century Fox this week that he won’t be helming the film. A spokesperson confirmed his quitting the project, although she wasn’t specific about the reason.
One of the biggest challenges for Spielberg was finding

New TV Shows To Be Thankful for In 2009! ABC Brings Us 4 New Shows We Love But Fox’s Glee Takes Top Spot!

Well ABC seemed to be out in the lead for having the most shows we were thankful for in 2009 with 4 of their new shows making our list. In second place was the USA channel with 2, while Syfy, Fox, HBO and NBC all had 1 on the list as well. I was surprised that CBS didn’t make our list but with so many already good shows previous to 2009 they didn’t have to add a lot to their programming schedule. Glee got our top spot while Flashforward barely made the list.
1. Glee
Couldn’t think of any other show to go here than this one. A complete surprise this musical dramedy series from of all people, Ryan Murphy, the guy who brought us Nip/Tuck. This series is a massive 180 from his repetoire but thats okay because we love it. Everything from the weekly musical selections, to the talented group of

It was the opening day of the Disney-mgm studios in Orlando. The stars were there with their children. There was an official luncheon at the Brown Derby, modeled after the legendary Hollywood eatery. I was beside myself. I was in a booth sitting next to Jack Brickhouse, the voice of the Chicago Cubs. A man walked over and introduced himself. "Bob Elliott." Oh. My. God. Bob, of Bob and Ray.
For me he was the biggest star in the room. Who, after all, compared to even one half of Bob and Ray, was Tom Hanks? Whoopi Goldberg? Art Linkletter? "Gosh all whillikers, Mr. Science!" I said, "What's that long brown object???" Bob didn't miss a beat: "That's known as a board, Roger."
Another man was steaming toward us through the throng. A middle-aged man, well-dressed, tanned, with a pleasant smile. "Hi, Jack!" he said. "Say, I hear Ernie Banks is invited.

Welcome to the Pop Culture Club, where every week we watch an “assignment” and then report back to discuss it. This week it was the new USA crime show White Collar, otherwise known as Catch Me if You Can for 48 Hrs. The concept: Dogged FBI agent Peter Burke releases his prize arrest – supersuave supercriminal Neil Caffrey – from jail to help the Fed track down other criminals. And here’s where things zig when you think they're gonna zag: These guys are really different!
Caffrey was played by Matt Bomer, who looks like a male model version of Tom Everett Scott,

Saved By the Bell alum Tiffani Thiessen co-stars in USA's latest crime series, which cribs Catch Me If You Can's story line. Matthew Bomer stars as an expert counterfeiter (and Thiessen's on-camera husband) hired by the FBI to track down con artists. The Today Show video circulating after this morning's host Jenna Wolf mispronounced Matt Bomer's last name, will only boost ratings.

USA's White Collar: Where "Crime Can Be Beautiful"
23 October 2009 7:34 AM, PDT

| See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news
»
There are a lot of dark, twisted cop shows on TV; think of Criminal Minds, Law & Order: Svu, CSI. White Collar (premieres Friday, 10/9c, USA) is trying something different: a traditional crime drama spliced with a buddy comedy.
Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) is a career white-collar criminal who makes a deal with FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay), the man who put him in prison. In exchange for Caffrey's (ankle bracelet-monitored) freedom, he'll help Burke catch the bad guys. It's a premise we've seen before — the Tom Hanks-Leonardo DiCaprio film Catch Me If You Can comes to mind — but White Collar's take is more timeless and, yes, funnier.

Creator/executive producer Jeff Eastin is certainly a fan of edgy crime dramas. "The Shield is possibly my all-time favorite show, and they really did the dark, contemporary cop show to perfection,

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant
Directed by: Paul Weitz
Cast: Chris Massoglia, John C. Reilly, Josh Hutcherson, Michael Cerveris, Ken Watanabe, Salma Hayek
Running Time: 1 hr 48 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: October 23, 2009
Plot: A teenager (Massoglia) stumbles upon a freak show and meets a wide variety of unusual characters. He must decide if he wants to change his normal life and become a vampire’s assistant for Crepsley (Reilly) in order to save a friend.
Who’S It For? Need your vampire fix before The Twilight Saga: New Moon? This should do the trick. Heck, if you check out the movie posters, they even try to get Massoglia looking a little like Robert Pattinson.
Expectations: Reilly is great. I’ll happily sit through anything the man attempts. One of my favorite moments was getting to see him perform at a small Chicago bar while he was in character as Dewey Cocks.

Wicked Book Series to Become Films; Spielberg Maybe Directing Adaptation of The 39 Clues?

Thanks to the success of “Twilight” it looks like we are going to get a couple of adaptations of other successful book series which are aimed at the young-adult crowd. Most of these will be pitched as “It’s like Twilight meets…” and the latest book series that is on its way to the big screen, “Wicked”, is being sold as that. The project is being described as “‘Twilight’ meets ‘Wanted’ with witchcraft” and will probably become a franchise at DreamWorks. Also, Steven Spielberg might jump in on this book series craze by maybe directing an adaptation of “The 39 Clues”. You can get all the details after the jump.
Writing partners/brothers Aaron and Matthew Benay (Brad Bird’s upcoming “1906″) have sold their pitch for “Wicked” to DreamWorks. The book series written by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié tell the story of Holly Cathers, who moves in with an

Josh Wolk's Pop Culture Club talks Monty Python: Do the shows still hold up?

This week at the Pop Culture Club the plan was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Or was it? In my endless masochistic desire to get us to objectively rejudge our nostalgic favorites (Vacation? Yes. Meatballs? No), I wanted to see whether the Python TV series still held up. After all, comedy has had 40 years of evolution since we first heard the word "It's..."; putting aside how ingenious you might have found the show when you first discovered it, you have to concede the possibility that it could all seem very slow, flat, or dated by now.

Sneak Peeks – USA's "White Collar"

Bryan wrote a thorough and positive review of USA Network's new series White Collar, which will be premiering this Friday, October 23rd at 10:00 p.m. Est. Jon noted that the show was "like a cross between the first Lethal Weapon movie and Catch Me If You Can, which is to say that its a caper-type, solve-the-crime, buddy series where the characters form an unlikely partnership". From the official description below, it sounds similar to Catch Me If You Can. Although, that's not a bad thing, because Catch Me If You Can was a great movie.
White Collar is about the most unlikely of partnerships between a con artist and an FBI agent. The story unfolds after charming criminal mastermind Neal Caffrey (Bomer) is caught by his nemesis, G-Man extraordinaire Peter Burke (DeKay). After escaping from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Neal is nabbed by Peter once again.

On November 10, 1969 in Everett, Massachucets a little girl was born to Kathleen and Joseph Popmeo. The proud parents named her Ellen Kathleen Pompeo; she is the youngest of six. Ellen’s mother passed away when Ellen was just four years-old of a painkiller overdose. Ellen’s father remarried shortly after and the family resided in Boston. Ellen was discovered working at SoHo Bar & Grill in New York City. Doing a couple of minor television roles helped Ellen to see she wanted to be a successful actress so she packed her things and moved to Los Angeles. In a meeting with Jake Gyllenhaal she expressed an interest in wanting to work with him and a few weeks later was cast in Moolight Mile playing Jake’s love interest. She also starred alongside Leonardo DeCaprio in Catch Me If You Can that year. In 2003, Ellen played Karen Page in Daredevil, with Ben Affleck,
