...shock, but not a surprise, to see Owen Wilson in The Darjeeling Limited, the new semi-comedy from Wes Anderson that had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last night.

His head is wrapped in two thick bandages, one horizontal, one vertical, as if to keep his brains from seeping out. The nose Wilson's fans know to be charmingly broken has a Band Aid on it.

And the actor and his loved ones likely won't return to the good life quickly...
...some of them share the doubts about the remains? authenticity. The missing two bodies have also inspired rumors that one or more of the Romanov children escaped execution, most famously depicted in the 1956 Ingrid Bergman film Anastasia and in real life by a Polish woman named Anna Anderson who falsely claimed to be Princess Anastasia...
