...roles in more than 30 films including Sayonara, Pete's Dragon and The Poseidon Adventure; in Los Angeles. Born Aaron Chwatt, he was nicknamed for his red hair and the brass buttons on his uniform at an early gig and became an overnight hit in 1952 with his own CBS variety show. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his 1956 portrayal of a U.S. airman in a doomed romance with a Japanese woman in Sayonara, starring Marlon Brando. "I'm a little guy," Buttons once said, "and that's what I play all the time: a little...
...public may not really be so squeamish. In a 2003 CBS News/New York Times poll, two-thirds of Americans disagreed with the ban on coffin photos. This year, when HBO aired the gory documentary Baghdad ER, about a military hospital, 3.5 million people watched, a huge number for a cable documentary.

But for the Irish actor's next swaggering royal role, in Showtime's 2007 series The Tudors, he has to learn some new skills. As Henry VIII, Rhys Meyers will tackle "jousting, lute and a minimum of six languages," alongside Sam Neill as Cardinal Wolsey. Even draped in jewels befitting the portly, much married monarch, "I look nothing like Henry," the lean Match Point star admits. "I have to make...
...More precisely, online is Deadwood: a mother lode of new riches, with big companies trying to muscle in on the prospectors.

Online, the competition is not just CBS and Fox: it's college kids on MySpace and raunchy comedy sites like collegehumor com The networks can't take as many risks online--even though the FCC can't touch them there.
