Wasn't sure where to put this, as it's just an FYI kind of thing, so I'm starting a general thread.
On GMTV this morning they were talking about the new series of Doctor Who, and Richard wasisname said Alex Kingston is going to be in it (presumably as a
one-off character, I've seen nothing anywhere about her being in Dr Who as a recurring character).

She's playing a rather mysterious character called "River Song" in episodes 8 & 9 of Series 4. I thought Ep. 8 was due to broadcast in the UK
on Saturday, but apparently Doctor Who wasn't on this week.
We're on Ep. 5 of Series 4 in the US (on SciFi; BBC America is rerunning earlier series) so the episodes will run in June in the US. |

No Dr. Who this Saturday as we had the annual kitschfest that is the Eurovision Song Contest, so this is on next week.

Gotcha! Aside from Riverdance, does anything worth seeing/hearing ever come out of the Eurovision Song Contest?

Nice to know some things in this world never change. Sort of comforting, really.

I bet Eurovision makes for a good drinking game though - if the voting country gives top points to it's closest neighbour, take a drink. You'd be
plastered in no time...

He wasn't exactly an old cast member, but Robert Prosky was one of my favorite guest stars in S13, and in many other roles on other shows, notably Hill
Street Blues. He just passed away at age 77.

Another cute George article: http://www.people.com/peo...html?xid=rss-topheadlines
George Clooney Places Himself Up for Adoption By Wendy Grossman 
George Clooney Photo by: Jay Ackerman George Clooney has made an offer few can refuse: He has placed himself up for adoption. "I always wanted to be adopted, but I couldn't find anyone," said the star, speaking at a Newseum event in Washington, D.C., with his father, former Ohio news anchor Nick Clooney, and veteran journalist Bill Small on either side of him. "Will you adopt me?" George said to Small. "I'm very wealthy. I'll take care of you." Talk of adoption started after Nick Clooney's observation that his son's 2005 film, Good Night, and Good Luck, about iconic CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow, is now being shown in journalism schools across the country. "This film has legs," said the elder Clooney, who then asked his son for his opinion. "I don't care for that," said the jocular George - prompting Nick to respond: "I never cared for this kid - his sister's great." More Jokes Walking off stage before the screening of Good Night, and Good Luck - as part of his father's Reel Journalism film program - Clooney, 47, then quipped that his father, 75, was an old man who needed a walker. Nick Clooney (left) and his son, George 
Photo by: Carlo Allegri / Getty "You aren't my walker," Nick Clooney shot back. "But you are my retirement plan." From the wings: "I was," George said. "I was." After the movie, the Regis and Kelly-like banter continued. When George said that they made the movie for $6.5 million, his dad asked where the money goes. "Right to me," George said. "We shoot for $500,000, then I take $6 million ..." Nick Clooney then asked where that money goes. "To my new dad," George said. But Small turned down George's invitation. "I was hoping [billionaire entrepreneur] Mark Cuban would make an offer," Small said. Looking stunned, George said, "Wow. I got a dump like that."

Here's a link to an interesting article about Clooney, now back on the Chad-Sudan border. Who would have thought that "Doug" would be the one to
really risk his life in Africa?

My friend was in Larchmont Village a few weeks ago and ran into Paul McCrane. He's apparently a really nice guy, and posed for a picture with her. No
autograph was collected, for which I will forever berate said friend. Apparently he "was there to pee or something, I guess, and then was going back to a
meeting." So, good news, celebrities pee, just like the rest of us.

I saw the 1988 remake of The Blob last week (please don't ask why) and guess who was in it? Yeah, Paul McCrane. My favorite role was when he played one of
the more fun loving astronauts in From the Earth to the Moon.

I was just told that Shiri Appleby (Daria) was in the ER pilot. I checked IMDB and there she was. Does this make her an "old timer"?
