Canadian actress, Ellen Page, has been cast to play Jane Eyre in a BBC Film adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s classic piece of English lit.  The BBC adaptation is being produced by one of the producers of The Other Boleyn Girl. 

Page received an Oscar nomination for her role as a knocked-up teen in the film Juno which received rave reviews, but I’m not sure how she’d fare in a period piece; it’s so Gwyneth Paltrow.  Anyway, this will sure test her acting chops.  Good luck! 

Halle Berry was spotted out and about on Thursday, looking radiant after treating herself to a little “me time” at the spa. The new mom’s post baby bod is hot!  Halle is sure to have her figure back in no time.  I can’t help wondering though, where’s Nahla?  Halle’s little bundle of joy has yet to be seen.  It’s a sure bet that little Nahla is just as gorgeous as mom, but we’re starting to get  bit anxious. 

Hey, Halle when are you gonna release some baby pics?  Kindly put a move on it.

Mary-Kate Olsen may be well on her way to Emmy gold.  It’s rumored, that the pint-sized mini mogul, is being considered for an Emmy nomination for her reoccurring role on the show Weeds. 

It’s about time MK is rewarded for her work as a serious actress.   Watch out Hollywood, first it will be an Emmy then an Oscar. 

Insert evil laugh here.

Miley Cyrus has reached a place as one of the Most Beautiful people of 2008. The teen sensation, who has been in the spotlight for her over-commented sexy photo shoot, appeared among the cutest stars on People magazine’s 2008 list. The Hannah Montana star was featured with a full makeover for her photo shoot, while others celebs preferred no make up at all. “When I had dark hair, I was going through a hard time,” admits Cyrus. “I wanted to experiment. I was fighting with the person who liked my highlights so I said, ‘Darn it, I’m going to be a pasty little black-haired freak and I don’t care what you have to say about it!’ I was just trying to find who I am,” the 15-year-old revealed to the magazine.

Congrats Miley! It‘s good to hear something good of you, after a run of disappointments.

Lindsay Lohan’s professionalism (Oh Yes!) highly impressed ABC series Ugly Betty’s producers. “Lindsay was terrific - a real pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant. She plays a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with,” said show creator Silvio Horta. “Her character Kimberly appears in a flashback dodge ball game when she does the picking - it doesn’t turn out well for Betty. They are going to run into each other in the present, when Kimberly’s life has taken a turn for the worst,” he added. Lindsay can be seen on the show on May 22.

It seems that she can also make it without alcohol and drugs!

Esai Morales has joined the cast of the upcoming “Battlestar Galactica” prequel “Caprica.” Morales, known for his performance as Maj. Edward Beck in the CBS drama “Jericho”, will play Joseph Adama, father to Commander William Adama. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Adama is a “deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice — and someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy.” Paula Malcomson has previously signed on for “Caprica.”More details of the new show have to emerge shortly, as BGS is in its final season.

Let’s wait for Esai Morales to show off his talent, so the prequel is worth being seen!

Ryan Seacrest can add one more job to his repertoire.  The word in tinsel town is that Ryan Seacrest is in negotiations to take over Larry King Live when the suspendered one retires. 

This isn’t a big shock.  Seacrest has been serving as King’s fill-in for quite some time now.  Larry told The New York Times in April 2007 that Seacrest would be his first choice to take over the show when the time came.

“He’s the classic generalist,” said King. “The only thing I don’t know, and I’ve gotten to know him pretty well, is how versed he is in politics, world affairs. Does he read the paper? Is he interested in Iraq? Because if he is, he’s going to be very good.”

With all the time Ryan spends working, he’ll never get laid.

Drugged-out diva, Amy Winehouse, was at a London police station this afternoon for a pre-arranged meeting which ended with her arrest. The drug possession charge leveled on comes as a result of the video posted by The Sun of the British singer allegedly smoking crack, reports TMZ.

According to Amy’s rep, “Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is co-operating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year.” 

I guess since Britney is getting better and all, we need somebody to bring the crazy; and Amy sure knows how to work the crazy.

CSI has-been actor, Gary Dourdan has been officially charged with one count each of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy possession.

According to a Riverside County District Attorney’s spokeswoman, Gary would probably be sentenced to probation and required to complete a drug diversion program if convicted.

It looks like this may be the end of dumbass Dourdan’s career.  Not that it’s much of a surprise; the druggie’s contract on the hit show has not been renewed.  Loser!

Trent Patterson, a contestant from the concluded The Biggest Loser, failed to win the biggest prize but found his utter reward in teaching health and nutrition lessons around the world. The former competitor has recently gone to the West Canada Valley High School to lecture about obesity and its effects. A content Trent confessed, “I had no one to really tell me about the importance of nutrition and calories”. “I’m here to tell them about proper nutrition and the benefits of it.”

Trent has already won following this path. We just hope he can keep his hands away from all the tempting food probably been served in these occasions!
