  • A leaked memo from the James Bond producers reveals that Hugh Jackman was passed over for the role because he was deemed “too fey.” Apparently people really do take notice when you wear shiny gold pants and make grand entrances on a camel. [Times of London]
  • Crushingly, The Simple Life may not be so dead after all. Dear, dear Paris made claims over the weekend that they’re continuing with shooting and that “all the networks are fighting over it.” Not so hot. [AP]
  • In perhaps related news, Mary-Kate Olsen is officially taking a break from NYU. She plans to pursue other business, such as PLOTTING PINT-SIZE REVENGE ON THAT DOUBLE-CROSSING BITCH PARIS HILTON. [ABC]
  • Not content to rest on the significant laurels that are Get Carter and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, near-sexagenarian Sylvester Stallone is planning Rocky VI, which will depict “an aging, widowed Rocky who is reluctant to get back in the ring but ends up doing it ‘just to compete, not to win’.” If that’s not a preemptive attempt to lower expectations, I don’t know what is. [AP]
