...Volver is Spanish for return. Fittingly, with the film, Almodóvar has reclaimed the Madrid-born Cruz from the lost- property department of blond and bland Hollywood, where she has lived for the past several years carrying the cross of exoticism through a series of disappointing movies and tabloid-tracked relationships with Sexiest Man Alive--type guys. With Volver, she is prompting people to talk Oscar. If she nabs him, she will be the first actress to win one in a foreign-language film since Sophia Loren in 1961 for Two Women...
...frontally criticizing Blair's current policy, which also favors an exit from Iraq as soon as Iraqi forces can take over, but instead was sticking up for his beloved army in a way someone more media-savvy might have done without leaving so many hostages to tabloid fortune.

...pencils over the portrayal of reporters in this crime hour from the maker of the reliably fine "Law & Order."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sheen will earn about $350,000 an episode for his role as a smart-mouthed single on CBS's Two and a Half Men. Looks as if being a bachelor will...
...movie's patina of textual and textural accuracy comes from voluminous research by the BBC Films team, including interviews with Windsor insiders, a chatty crowd. Elizabeth might be expected to run a tight ship with tight lips; but because royal scandal is a marketable commodity and the tabloid press voracious and rapacious, Buckingham Palace regularly springs more leaks than the Titanic. So you may take it as gossip gospel that Princess Margaret made the ungenerous observation quoted in the film that Diana was even "more irritating dead than alive." Morton also did a lot of asking around, and people answered...
