afternoon headlines

JAMES FRANCO AND KATE HUDSON – might star in a biopic about 70’s porn star Linda Lovelace, which would hurt the never-real-anyway biopic staring Lindsay Lohan. Though to be honest, I’d rather see Lindsay in it, especially over Kate Hudson. This is about the making of Deep Throat, not You’ve Got Mail. (the sun)

THE FANTASTIC FOUR – is down to 3, because the comic has killed off…… the Human Torch. Wow, really? Why not the stretch guy, Mr. Fantastic? I’d choose a ventriloquist to be on my super team before I’d choose Mr. Fantastic. That guy sucks. (la times)

NATALIE PORTMAN – got an Oscar nomination this morning, then walked her dog on the streets of New York, where the low today was 7 degrees. When asked for a comment, that dog said, “Hey Ms Fancy Feet, you realize this is the same thing I wear in July right, can we please go home now?” (inf daily)
