Holy shiz! We guess being Alan Alda means the A-Listers just come flocking to you!
The actor will be holding a special reading of his new play, Radiance: The Passion of Marie Curie, which “explores the intellectual passions of the physicist/chemist most famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, as well as her tumultuous private life marked by her strong determination to pursue both love and knowledge,” during the opening night gala of the World Science Festival on June 1st, and none other than Meryl Streep will be performing in the title role!
Other castmembers include Amy Adams, Allison Janney, and Liev Schreiber!
Wow! Impressive line-up!
We’re certainly very curious to see how this is received!
Break a leg, you guys!

Olbermann Having Trouble Finding People To OlberMANN His Team
May 11th

Keith Olbermann isn’t necessarily the easiest dude to work with, we hear. And we fear that it’s that idea that is keeping him from quickly staffing his new show.
Countdown has been notoriously hard to fill for Keith, to the point where he’s trying to poach people from MSNBC to come work from him.
A source had this to say about that:
“Everyone is laughing. They would never leave the network to work for him.”
He offended a lot of people when he left. Yet, someone affiliated with his new show is singing a different tune:
“Keith is also assembling a first class team and that’s going nicely too. We have already hired three former “Countdown” staffers and others from MSNBC. We are announcing the EP shortly.”
We’re more inclined to believe the first quote, mainly because it has taken him forever to staff up. This is why you don’t burn bridges, Keith!

Such an honor! A hearty congratulations to you, Miz Stew!
Kristen Stewart has won Best Female Acting for her role as Mallory in Welcome To The Rileys at the 2011 Milan International Film Festival!
Bravo, bravo! The award will look just splendid right next to the popcorn bucket you won for sucking face with Robert Pattinson in Twilight…and in New Moon...and you’ll probably win again for Eclipse this year, so maybe you should find another place for this prestigious award.
Why So Secretive? Ethan Hawke’s Role In New Total Recall Is Hush Hush
May 11th

He’s not gonna be playing the triple-breasted alien from the original version…is he???
Last we heard about Columbia/Len Wiseman’s remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger action/sci-fi movie Total Recall, director Len’s wife Kate Beckinsale had been offered a role.
She’s still in negotiations, and now another actor is joining the Total remake – Ethan Hawke.
For some reason, Ethan’s role is being kept strictly secretive. All we know is that it’s a minor, cameo-sized role.
We wanna know the secret! Why don’t you come in and talk to us about the role, Ethan! We PROMISE to keep it on the DL!!! LOLz.
Why do U think Ethan Hawke’s Total Recall cameo is being classified as Top Secret?

On Sunday, Los Angeles was treated to a first look at the U.S. edition of The X Factor when auditions kicked off at the Galen Center. All the judges were on hand – Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Cheryl Cole and Paula Abdul – and the hosts, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones were ready to start the show.
And what a show it looks like it will be! Just have a look at those sets! Pretty incredible, huh? Now, what you are looking at is what the stage will look in like in these preliminary audition rounds. The set will be changed again when it takes up its permanent home at CBS Television City in Hollywood.
Well, what do U think? So far, is it living up to the hype for U?

DanRad Is A Gentleman About Tony Snub

It’s a shame that he wasn’t nominated for a Tony as the headliner for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, but if anyone has ever taken a snub in stride and with a lot of class, it’s Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe.
Quite a few people were left wondering why, and many just wanted to make sure he wasn’t too hurt by it. In any way, though, he has gotten more feedback from not being nominated than he ever expected. And besides, getting an award is not why he does it anyway:
“The thing that shocked me was everybody else’s reaction to me, and how they started treating me — because it was like I lost a relative. In my opinion, it was sweet, but over the top. People would ask me, ‘Are you OK?’ And I’d go, ‘I’m really OK!’ I think I speak for 99 percent of actors when I say that the reason we do this job, while it’s lovely to get recognized by your peers, it’s not the reason why we do it. The people that do this job for awards and recognition are kind of worshiping at the wrong altar, and I’m not really quite sure if I want to know those people.”
We think that’s spot on, for sure. People who are in theater just to win awards are in it for the the wrong reason! It’s all about the love and passion for the show and craft.
Dan, we’re super proud of you for reacting this way. We’ll be honest though, we would never guess you would act any other way but proper!
Maybe next year!

Charlie Sheen Is Making Some More Bank!
May 10th

We suppose with his Tourpedo over now, Charlie Sheen needs to figure out a new way to make money with all those child support payments and such…
… so he’s selling his sports and movie memorabilia!
The MaSheen has enlisted Daryl Strawberry to help out, and it’s been said that all in all the memorabilia will probably fetch around $400k.
That’s not his only plan though, because he’s thinking about turning his Tourpedo into a pay-per-view special.
Maybe you should be looking for some more work, Charlie, so you can support those kids! Can’t sell your stuff forever, unfortunately!
Just sayin’!
