Jake in Love and Other DrugsDespite the fact that I don't really know what is happening with Anne Hathaway's hair. First of all it stars the beautiful Jake Gylenhaal who appears to be in various states of undress in the film ( so does Anne but I care more about Jake) which is a major plus. Second, this is the first time in a while we have gotten to see Jake in a film where we aren't at war, his brother isn't at war, he is not into dudes and he doesn't have weird long hair. Yes, he looks hot in Prince of Persia but how many people over 10 saw that? This is one of his only films that is somewhat close to a romantic comedy though it looks like Anne's character is sick which will put a bit of a damper on the comedy part. Love and Other Drugs is based on the book "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman" by Jamie Ready and directed by Edward Zwick (ThirtySomething, Blood Diamond) and it looks to be a cross-hybrid between Jerry McGuire, Up in the Air, Thank You For Smoking and maybe a little bit of Sweet November (if she like dies and stuff). I mean the love story itself doesn't seem too unique (girl who hates to be tied down meets cocky guy who tries to tie her down) but the fact that there is the whole pharmeucitical aspect tied in is interesting. Plus, you know, Jake is really hot. Hopefully the ending for them will be happier than it was in Brokeback Mountain. It comes out November 24.

Blake and Leighton in ParisAnd it looks like the show might have gotten its kick back. It is taking a cue from other shows and starting the season off with a French bang in Paris. With a great French version of the classic These Boots are Made For Walking the promo opens with the Serena and Blair walking around in style. Serena is, per usual, slutting it up once again all over Europe. Blair appears to be taking her break-up in stride except not really at all. Nate looks like he got back his mojo and Chuck may have finally grown a heart since he was shot and all. And Dan as usual is still lonely boy and has somehow become Georgina's baby-sitter. So does that mean he is the father? And where oh where did they ship Jenny off to? We also just found out that Serena will have a new multi-episode love interest played by Greg Page (Joan's somewhat douchey husband on Mad Men and Casey's almost love interest on Greek). He looks like the last three guys Serena slept with but whatever. Should be an interesting season premiere!

Perhaps a real man should hire a driverMaybe it was because Mel's been out of the country avoiding depositions and forgot which side of the road to drive on. ("Eenie, meanie, aww, f**k it, I'll just hit the rock wall.") Maybe a poor little baby deer stumbled out in front of his Maserati and he swerved to avoid it. Or hey, maybe Mad Mel was in his cups again. Sugar tits, anyone?

No one, Mel included, seems to know what caused him to veer off the road and into a rock wall, but he did. He called the cops and they questioned him, so I guess he wasn't drunk since he's not in the pokey, but they're no closer to finding the cause of the crash than they were when they arrived. Gibson claims he doesn't know what caused him to leave the road. He denies being on a cell phone (and really, who would take his call at this point?), but interestingly enough, when asked if he might have dozed off, he refused to give a straight answer. Hmmm, Ambien anyone?

Whether it was Bambi, Ambien or a hairy Kardashian, the fact remains that somehow an allegedly sober man in his right mind somehow lost control of a precision performance luxury sedan, a car capable of taking a hairpin turn at 90 ... and no one knows why. I think there's more to this little incident than meets the eye. With all of Gibson's shit-talking, though, if it was sabotage, it could be anyone. Except for the nanny who just passed, that is. And she's lucky to be out of the whole mess. This shit could drag on for years.

George Stephanopoulos, current host of ABC's Good Morning America, first gained fame as communications director to President Bill Clinton, surely a thankless job in light of the scandal caused by the President's cigar-and-hummer games with Monica Lewinsky. But George has a lot more to be thankful for than a good job referral: The horny little intern had her sights set on him first. Fortunately, he had a much more capable assistant at the gate, a dedicated professional who was more than happy to keep little trollops like Monica at bay.

The news that Slick Willie was a consolation prize for the chubby little dick chaser comes from 'A Complicated Man: The Life of Bill Clinton as Told by Those Who Know Him", by Michael Takiff, Clinton historian. Among the topics covered in the book, Takiff provides the startling revelation that Monica was in hot pursuit of the dapper little spokesman, always flirting and fawning over him. So overt was Monica in her efforts to bed the equally-wed Stephanopoulos that when the scandal broke, other staffers were stunned. "That Monica?" they said. Yes, indeed, that Monica. And the rest, of course, is history.

On the fashion of Suri: I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, 'I want this sleeve cut,' and it's like, 'Okay, we'll cut it.' She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, 'Okay, I trust you.
