Zachary Quinto takes Noah for a walk!






Maggie Grace returning to 'Lost'



When "Lost's" final season premiered a couple of weeks ago, one of the biggest burning questions about the alternate timeline was, "Why wasn't Shannon on the plane?"

Well, it looks like we might get our answer as EW.com reports that Maggie Grace, who portrayed Shannon - and hasn't appeared since the third season - will return before the series ends.

Shannon was memorably killed off by Ana Lucia in season two, soon after starting a relationship with Sayid. Speaking of Sayid, it was also announced that Andrea Gabriel, who played his late wife Nadia, will also return this season.

What do you think of these characters returning to "Lost?" Any other characters, dead or alive, you hope to see this season?

Man tatooes Ashton Kutcher's face on arm



There's obsessed, and then there's celebrity obsessed. Ashton Kutcher, who is in Russia, recently sent out this TwitPic.

@aplusk said on Twitter: "I just saw something i could never imagine. a man in siberia who has me tatooed on his arm."

While the colors are a bit off, the resemblance is pretty remarkable. And if you have to have someone's face on your arm - Kutcher is a pretty choice.

What do you think - would you ever get a celebrity's face tattooed on your body? If so, who?

Buzz Bissinger on Tiger's Apology: 'He Doesn't Exude Human Warmth'



Was Tiger Woods' long-awaited mea culpa genuine? Pulitzer Prize-winning sports journalist Buzz Bissinger, who wrote that recent Vanity Fair cover story on the embattled golf star, tells ET that he didn't buy what Tiger was saying today.

"I don't think he advanced the ball one inch. … It was Tiger as controlled and controlling as ever," he says.

"I rate it poorly in the sense that I don't know what it did," he continues. "I think he may have a human defect in a sense -- I mean, I think he probably did as much as he possibly could, but he doesn't exude a human warmth. … The most emotion I saw in that very staged press conference was from his mother."

Buzz compared Tiger's speech to the apologies in the past by sports greats Mickey Mantle and Mark McGwire, and while he felt those to be emotionally genuine, he says he felt Tiger's apology "was rehearsed."

"I don't think he really changed anybody's mind," he says. "There is some manipulation involved: Why did he do it? Why is he doing it now? Why did he do it at PGA headquarters? It has to be some overall plot to figure out how to return to golf."

The sports journalist rates Tiger's reaction to the whole situation "The worst-handled celebrity scandal I've ever seen," and adds, "The only way he's going to redeem himself in the end is to win [the Masters] -- because anything else, no one's going to care."

Cinema boycott could send Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole



Alice in Wonderland should have enchanted cinemagoers this spring and earned tens of millions of pounds at the box office as the latest 3D blockbuster. Instead, the Disney film could disappear down the rabbit hole, as a boycott means that it may not be coming to a cinema near you.

A dispute between Disney and two of Britain’s biggest cinema chains, Odeon and Vue, means that the film will not be shown in about 40 per cent of cinemas. Today is the last day that a compromise can realistically be reached, though neither side is likely to break the impasse.

The dispute began when Disney stated that it would bring Alice out on DVD within 12 weeks instead of the customary 17 to try to stem the abrupt decline in DVD sales, traditionally the biggest earner for studios.

A shorter gap between the film’s launch at the cinema and on DVD would mean that advertising campaigns would be fresher in consumers’ minds and could also curb sales of pirate DVDs.

Bob Iger, the chief executive of Disney, believes that he must break cinemas’ insistence on strict DVD delays and has chosen Alice as his battleground. He knows that British cinemas are more powerful than their continental counterparts (they take about 60 per cent of box-office receipts compared with 50 per cent elsewhere in Europe) and is using a film that would be expected to perform well in Britain.

Directed by Tim Burton, Alice was partly shot here and features a British cast including Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Stephen Fry.

While other studios wait to see if Disney is successful before adopting a similar strategy, cinemas are outraged after spending millions of pounds on 3D equipment in the belief that studios’ terms would remain the same.

They are also irritated because, while DVD sales in Britain declined by about 10 per cent last year, cinema takings were up by 11 per cent. A senior cinema executive told The Times: “There is nothing wrong with our business model. [The studios] are coming to us and saying, ‘We’ve got a broken model on our side and we want you to pay for it.’ ”

Cineworld, a third British cinema chain, has angered rivals by refusing to join the boycott after a visit from Bob Chapek, Disney’s president of distribution, who reassured it that Disney wished to shorten the window for only two or three films a year. The DVD release for Alice was extended to 13 weeks.

Odeon issued a tart response, saying that it was dropping plans to show Alice “as a result of Disney’s insistence on reducing at short notice the theatrical window on a major 3D title”.

]Disney tried to shorten the window for Up, the Pixar animation, last year, but relented when cinemas said that they would drop Up and A Christmas Carol.

Disney declined to comment, but is understood to be resolute. A cinema industry source said it is prepared to risk about £10 million in lost revenue.

"Shutter Island" storms North American box office



Director Martin Scorsese and his protege Leonardo DiCaprio beat out the weekend competition in the United States and Canada in the fright flick "Shutter Island," estimated figures showed Sunday.

The movie, the strongest opening for both Scorsese and DiCaprio, pulled in some 40.2 million dollars in its debut weekend, according to the tracking firm Exhibitor Relations.

Adapted from a book by Dennis Lehane, the movie is a police thriller with elements of fantasy and horror in which DiCaprio plays a US federal marshall investigating a disappearance at a psychiatric asylum in the 1950s.

The movie is the fourth collaboration between the Oscar-winning director and Di Caprio, following "The Departed," "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator."

"Shutter Island" easily bumped last week's favorite, the star-studded comedy "Valentine's Day," from its top spot.

The romantic ensemble starring Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba amongst others scooped up 17.2 million dollars in its second week.

In third place, still raking in mountains of cash, was science-fiction epic "Avatar," the highest-grossing film of all time with more than two billion dollars worldwide. In its 10th week on North American release, Canadian James Cameron's film made 16.1 million dollars.

The Oscar-favored movie is followed by mythological adventure-fantasy picture "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," based on Rick Riordan's book and starring Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman. The movie earned 15.3 million dollars in its second week.

Fourth was "The Wolfman," a remake of the lycanthrope legend starring Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, took a 9.8-million-dollar bite at the box office, followed by the romantic tearjerker "Dear John," an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, which pulled in 7.3 million dollars.
