Movie Reviews and Previews Penn Badgley is Jeff Buckley Apparently James Franco was up for it for a while. Then there was all this talk about Robert Pattinson in the role. And he had also previously said he was rather interested too. Those who make casting decisions however had other ideas.... Lonely Boy? Dan Humphrey? Indeed. Penn Badgley has By Lainey • Jun 21, 2011 07:56 am

Maple Leaf Men & Breasts Their own breasts. Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana continued to work on The Words in Montreal yesterday and, well, frankly, I have never been less attracted to him. Ever.
