Kevin McKidd Joining Grey’s Anatomy?
Like many people, I was miffed that Journeyman wasn’t picked up for another season. But maybe we’ll get our fix of Kevin McKidd at Seattle Grace next year.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the Scottish actor, who blew (some of) us away as the time-traveling journalist Dan Vasser on Journeyman, is in talks to join the cast of Grey’s Anatomy. The rumor is that McKidd would play a doctor who scrubs in at the hospital after a stint in Iraq.
McKidd played soldier Lucius Vorenus in HBO’s short-lived Rome. You can also catch him in the upcoming films, Bunraku and Dylan, in which he plays Wales poet Dylan Thomas.
Signing on for Grey’s would accomplish a few things in my mind. It would give McKidd’s fans a chance to see him every week. It would give Grey’s Anatomy a much-needed shot in the arm of fresh talent. And it would give the show a ripped-from-the-headlines feel by injecting some world events into the mix. What do you think?
Guy Ritchie in NYC to Snatch Time With the Family
What’s a Guy to do when Madonna is making headlines for her trips to the lawyer’s office rather than the recording studio?
Hop the next flight, of course.
A source tells News that Guy Ritchie touched down in New York Monday so he can spend as much time with the singer and their three kids as possible before she heads out on her next world tour.
“He has been planning for a long time to spend all of July in New York,” the source said. “It’s not a last-ditch effort to save the marriage.”
Whether that’s because the marriage is already over and there’s nothing to save remains to be seen. But for nowand for awhile nowthose close to the couple, including Ritchie’s mum, are quick to deny that there’s trouble at home.
The filmmaker was spotted tonight heading into the family’s Upper West Side apartment, where he’s aiming to stay.
“There are no plans to get a divorce,” our insider said. “She is working all the time, but they are still completely in love.” Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour kicks off Aug. 23 in Cardiff, Wales.
For Ritchie, the source added, the biggest issue in their marriage has been all the media attention.

Matt Damon: The Bourne Expansion
Seeing the one-time Sexiest Man Alive appear, well, not at his sexiest while shooting the Informant in Hawaii has kind of put us at a loss for words.
While our blogger brethren over at Just Jared and Jezebel have come up with some pretty ingenious headlines to accompany this photo, we’re, quite frankly, simply speechless.
Thanks to Emily for coming up with this stellar headline, which had us all laughing. But she had tough competition, so we had to share some of our favorite runners-up below. Thanks to everyone who chimed in; you guys are hilarious.
From Alex: Good Will Plumping

Nelly and Ashanti: BET Royalty
Nelly and Ashanti: BET Royalty
Years before the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown hookup, there was another hip hop couple making headlines - Nelly and Ashanti. And at last night’s pre-BET Awards dinner they were looking as hot as ever.
The “Hot in Herre” stud and his “Foolish” gal showed up at Los Angeles hot spot Vibiana looking top-notch. He was sporting a dark suit with a white striped button-up shirt, while she rocked a strapless magenta embroidered floor-length gown.
Though they’ve tried to keep their relationship on the down-low, Ashanti has recently been guilty of sending mixed messages. When asked if they’re engaged, she replied, “Oh no. Noooo! No engagement. But definitely in the future. Ha ha!”
“Me and Nelly, we’re good friends. We kick it - hang out a lot. The industry is very hard, so it’s good to have fun and lighten it up.”
