Dominic Monaghan was a guest on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last night (May 12th), he was there to promote ‘Lost’. Guest director for the show was ‘Lost’ creator J.J. Abrams, Dominic goofed on J.J’s first film ‘Mission Impossible III’, saying he was spending a little too much time with Tom Cruise. Dominic showed a few hilarious photos of himself doing very un-hollywood type things. All in all it was a great segment. Take a look! (26MB MOV)[More]

Ian McKellen was a guest on ‘Last Call With Carson Daly’ earlier this week. Daly, demonstrating his absolute lack of talk show host prowess, fumbles through most of the interview, calling himself a moron (rightly so) at one point. However Sir Ian was as charming as ever. He was there to promote his latest films which are certain to be huge summer blockbusters, ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’. Unfotunately my TV connection did falter at a few points in the video, so it is NOT a computer error. Take a look! (29MB MOV)[More]
LOS ANGELES — Forget busy summers. Ian McKellen has more big-screen action packed into the month of May than most British stage actors could hope for in a career. In the adaptation of Dan Brown’s best seller “The Da Vinci Code,” McKellen plays Sir Leigh Teabing, the sinfully wealthy, polio-afflicted aristocrat who joins Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou’s characters on their quest for the Holy Grail. A week later, McKellen reprises his role as Magneto, a villainous mutant who uses his ability to control metals to take on his heroic fellow freaks of nature in “X-Men: The Last Stand,” the third film in the franchise.
