· SAG StrikeWatch threat alert: Honeysuckle! The actors guild won't start negotiating until April at the soonest. Asked for a reason, president Alan Rosenberg paused for a moment, then offered, "Oh, who are we kidding. I'm a slave to the draaaamaaaaa." [Variety]
· A campaign for Diane Lane dud Untraceable, which allowed Facebook users to pull up "gruesome torture scenes" from the movie about, uh, a Facebook-using serial killer or something, has been pulled by the social networking site.

It's one thing to smoke weed in Saturday detention then dance epileptic to Simple Minds and opine about attempted suicide via flare gun. It's quite another to be stranded at O'Hare with hundreds of other angry assholes and subside on $4 coca-cola and beef jerky before spending the night on a funky cot.
Not if we slip a little Hennessy into our $4 coca-colas...then we get all freaky to "Souljaboy"
@NoWireHangers: my last was supposed to be a reply...
I think the show would be more interesting if they took a cue from the above picture and left the little black bar thingies over everyones eyes.
26. But I counted "modern-day" and "O'Hare" as single words.
It's refreshing to see a director's assistant, who's female, be referred to as a 'protege.'
A few years have past...can't they just recast all the child actors from the "based on a true story stranded kids run around the airport" movie from a few years ago? It'll be like a fictional 14 Up.
And let Scrubs die its rightful goofy and overly precious death.
If they want edgy - they should make a film about this: [www.flickr.com]
