Ann Dowd has been acting for over 30 years. (She's not ready to state her age: "I'm sure I look whatever age I am.") She landed the juiciest movie role of her life in Craig Zobel's 2012 Sundance hit "Compliance." And she nabbed some terrific reviews for her performance as a restaurant manager who allows a phantom cop on the telephone to force her to strip, search and harrass a comely teenage girl employee who is accused of stealing. The manager does what she is told without questioning the "cop"'s authority. Her character is horrifyingly believable. She thinks she's doing the right thing. Now Dowd's running with the ball. She has little extra cash, but a pal in New York, Stephen Holt, connected her with a publicist who was willing to help her out. Indie distributor Magnolia sent out screeners for the Screen Actors Guild and the Academy--paid for by...

London, Sept 3: British rock band Inspiral Carpets is said to have snubbed Noel Gallagher when he auditioned as their frontman after singer Stephen Holt first quit in the 1980s.
The band parted ways with Holt in 1989 and fellow Manchester native Gallagher, 44, tried out as the star's replacement - but the remaining members decided he wasn't good enough.
The then-aspiring rocker went on to garner worldwide success in Oasis with his brother Liam Gallagher.
Now Inspiral Carpets keyboardist Clint Boon has said he can only imagine how famous they might be had they signed Noel to the band.
