...speech is central in both of these controversies. The PCC is investigating the complaints against Moir's column, but the incident is likely to end with a slap on the wrist. Even as the outrage over her column continues, there's a growing backlash against her leading critics. Comedic actor, writer and Twitter pioneer Stephen Fry has come in for the most censure. Columnist Brendan O'Neill wrote that Fry had used Twitter as a "virtual lynch mob" that had set press and speech freedoms back...
...every young actor wants to be a cog in the Disney machine. It pays considerably less than the networks do and typically expects to monopolize an actor's time and talent for at least four TV seasons - 14 to 18 years old seems to be the sweet spot.

Eighty-eight-year-old Godfather actor Abe Vigoda is still alive, according to the one fact available at AbeVigoda.com...
...Hooper's new film, The Damned United, British actor Michael Sheen takes on Clough. Like the two roles he's best known for - Tony Blair in The Queen and David Frost in Frost/Nixon - the part was written for Sheen by British playwright Peter Morgan, their sixth collaboration. Unlike Blair, Clough is barely known outside Britain, and The Damned United is unlikely to get a wide release. That's a shame; great though Sheen's Blair and Frost were, his Clough is of an even higher order, combining psychological insight with dead-on accuracy. (See TIME's photo-esay "Soccer...
