While I sort my sh-t out quickly here at Starbucks and get the new few articles going, please enjoy James McAvoy with his castmates from Filth in Hamburg today. When the F-CK is Welcome To The Punch coming out? They released a photo for it back in January - click here Full Story

Everyone is wanking off to Michael Fassbender’s performance as Eric who becomes Magneto in X-Men: First Class and while I totally think he deserves it because he’s great, I do wish people would jerk off just as hard to James McAvoy too. It’s almost easier to play the prototypically tortured superhero with a shattered heartbreaking history and a thirst for vengeance that compromises his goodness. Full Story

As noted the other day, the first reviews of X-Men: First Class have been very, very strong, assuaging concern that resulted from the poster issues and the underwhelming trailer. Click here for a refresher. Fans and critics expressed relief. And the actors too! James McAvoy told WENN that he and Michael Fassbender were nervous about how it would all turn out. Full Story

I was worried for James McAvoy after the trailer and the sh-tty posters came out for X-Men: First Class that the origin film would suck. Because I love him. I want him to be good. I want for his projects to be good. And it wasn’t just me. Those early clips were universally underwhelming. The marketing plan seemed in disarray. Full Story

Received several panicked emails yesterday when I was out in the field about James McAvoy and … January Jones? There was no context so it was puzzling. Then I hopped on a computer at the Palais and read about Ted Casablanca's report that the father of her child was someone on the X-Men set … which… fine, I mean I'm still not sure why people care that January Jones is pregnant but sure, there are a lot of people on a set - crew, cast, studio, marketing, etc - and I don't doubt she could have hooked up with any of them. Full Story

Robin Wright, James McAvoy, and Evan Rachel Wood were in Washington, DC yesterday for the premiere of The Conspirator at Ford’s Theatre. The film is about Lincoln’s assassination and the only female co-conspirator (played by Wright) charged with plotting the President’s murder. Robin, I think, is one of the few women who can pull off this shag. Full Story

What a bonus! Second sighting of James McAvoy in less than a week! He was out last night with his wife Anne-Marie Duff at the press night for Cause Celebre at the Old Vic Theatre. Duff, naturally, is receiving amazing reviews for her performance. It’s her first role since they became parents. What’s this about the Original Fiona? Many of you lately have been emailing about the US version of Shameless. Full Story

That’s my first though when I see Keira Knightley and James McAvoy together. You? He was with her in the press room at the Jameson Empire Awards in London last night where she was presented the Hero Award. The dress is lovely on its own, yes. But there’s a little bit of what Duana likes to call “all one colour-ness” happening here, non? Keira is definitely missing her glow. Full Story

I posted a fake X-Men First Class trailer yesterday. But that only means there’s an excuse to write about him again today with the proper trailer and more photos. James was interviewed on This Morning yesterday in support of Gnomeo & Juliet. I like it when it’s spelled with a single T. Full Story

Update: apparently this is a fake trailer. The real one comes out at noon PT. But James still looks fine? Sorry! But I'm still gloating about Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher. Thanks to Amanda for sending a link to a non-Facebooky trailer, the first, for X-Men First Class. I’m not a comic geek so I leave it to you to discuss and debate the merits of whether or not justice has been served, at least in terms of faithfulness to the series. Full Story

It’s a curious box office this weekend. Will be interested to see how much tween cash money Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never can pull in compared to Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s Just Go With It. Never Say Never is actually getting some good reviews. I’m telling you. Just Go With It meanwhile, as expected, has received some early hate from critics. Full Story

They’ve released a photo for the upcoming X-Men: First Class. Take a look. It’s AWFUL. It’s so much bad. There’s no imagination. And James McAvoy looks not great at all. Oh but there’s drama… The photo first leaked on Tuesday and almost everyone start sh-tting on it. Full Story

How do you go to the pub? Your most comfortable jeans, flat boots? If I’m going to the pub down the road, I take out my contact lenses and throw on my nerd glasses too. But I am not Lady Gaga. She went to the pub in London today. And this. She also sent milk and cookies outside to the paps waiting for her. Full Story

Look! Fresh! In Oxford today on the set of X-Men: First Class – it’s James McAvoy (Charles Xavier) and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) shooting in the rain. Gorgeous retro, non? Do you recognise Jennifer from Winter’s Bone? She was extraordinary in Winter’s Bone. Which is why she’s on every list as a sure thing for a Best Actress nomination even though most people don’t know who she is. Full Story
