I’ve been refreshing the photo agencies obsessively for the last hour checking for pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow at the London premiere of Iron Man 3 tonight and so far... nothing. As of this writing -- 3pm PT -- everyone else is there, RDJ, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley, but my G. It’s her hometown (sort of)! She was supposed to be there!? WHERE’s PEPPER? They’re already posing for group shots. Full Story

House of Lies Season 1 Episode 4 recapOkay, this is ridiculous.  House of Lies isn’t content to simply reinvent the half-hour ‘comedy’ genre and inspire in me slavish devotion, it has to start actually reflecting real life and being relevant, making me its full-on wannabe? This show, if you haven’t figured it out yet, isn’t about being a management consultant. Full Story

I have a colleague, who used to say to another colleague, usually on a Monday morning, “Hey – did you close?“  This of course referred not to business acumen but whether or not he got the amount of action he was hoping for on the weekend.  If they’re not already reading this, I bet money they both would love this show. Full Story

Can I just ask, why?  Why, PVR people, are you not smart enough to  know that a show’s going to go a little overtime?   Just give a little more time, please?I persevered, though, guys, don’t worry, I watched the end of the show for you – for you – so that I could bring you the best review possible which I know is what you require. Full Story

And it’s a similar-ish dress. Even the back zipper. It’s a motherf-cking dress-off! And you know the UK press will be all over it. “Gwyneth Paltrow is so insecure about the younger Scarlett Johansson that when she found out Scarlett was wearing a grey shift, she decided to wear one too. Full Story

Sort of. It’s a mini Oceans reunion in Como at Clooney’s as Matt Damon and Don Cheadle with their children. So perhaps kids ARE permitted at George’s? Well… I don’t see George in these photos. Do you? George is like me. Very hospitable – yes, yes, enjoy it all! You can have whatever you like, I said, you could have whatever you like. Full Story

Iron Man 2 has started shooting – check out RDJ today with an Iron Man lunchbox for the 10 thousand vitamins he takes daily fresh off from celebrating his 44th birthday with Sting and Trudie, GOOP and Chris Martin, Jakey and Reese, and other high profile guests in Beverly Hills. Full Story

As you’ve probably heard, Terrence Howard has dropped out of Iron Man 2. Apparently he wanted too much money and a personal ass wiper assigned to him at all times. Marvel told him to beat it. It’s now confirmed that Don Cheadle has stepped into the role of Rhodey for BOTH the Iron Man sequel AND The Avengers taking him well into 2011 and possibly more. Full Story

Anytime. Don Cheadle with Guy Pearce? Please. It’s an automatic. Here they are last night in New York at the premiere of Traitor. Don has been in New York shooting Brooklyn’s Finest. He makes every movie better. Like Out of Sight. Remember Out of Sight? Remember Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney in Out of Sight? Has Jennifer Lopez made a good movie since Out of Sight? Don also has a film with Mos Def coming up. Full Story

George Clooney arrived solo at Critics’ Choice last night which was surprising considering he’s been trotting that Sarah Larsen out everywhere these days. Given that she was a cocktail waitress and a Vegas hired party girl before he plucked her, I can’t imagine she would have had anything better to do … so maybe he wanted it to be a night out with the boys? He and Don Cheadle were spotted “inside joke”-ing each other all night. Full Story

The terrace bar is seriously the most beautiful spot on the Riviera. If you have a chance, you must go. We went last night, Michelle Rodriguez showed up first. So word is she’s a lesbian, right? Well… she was rather touchy feely with some producer dude. And much, much better looking in person. Full Story

Again the Palais was humming for the photo call. Huge crowds gathered beyond barricades and screaming when the cast walked back and forth across the walkway. Also a surge to get into the press conference – female journalists losing their sh-t over George Clooney. He obliged with autographs and a few laughs. Full Story

New movie poster for Oceans 13, trailer has also been released and George Clooney is The Hotness. As is Don Cheadle. Love.Him. Love all of them. And that’s just it, isn’t? The secret Oceans Formula? An untouchable cool, they make you want them to want you to be their friend. It’s so cheesy, it’s weak and it’s wrong but it’s there. Full Story
