Twice in the past two years, Abdul-Mahdi has told journalists he was on the verge of quitting the SIIC to form his own party, only to change his mind - likely because he knows he has no grassroots support or street cred of his own.

But for the right pic - Brokeback Mountain - Hathaway took a walk on the R-rated side and took off her top. New projects: She plays Jane Austen in the August biopic of the novelist Becoming Jane. "Anne came back from her day off and she announced that she had just reread Mansfield Park," says Jarrolds. Good girl factoid: For fun she goes antiquing...
