Hugh Jackman Prepares to Pass Sexiest Man Alive Crown
As the one-year reign of Hugh Jackman as PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive winds down, it's time to pass the crown to a new deserving hunk. So who does the Australian screen star, Oscar host and current Broadway leading man want to see take the title next?"Me! I want to be the first to have it back to back, buddy," Jackman, 41, told PEOPLE's reporter on Friday in New York, while attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert (set to air on HBO Nov. 29). "That would be fantastic!"
Though he would like to reclaim the title, the Steady Rain star (who costars in the Broadway drama with Daniel Craig, certainly another SMA possibility) says it's been quite an exciting year as the Sexiest Man Alive, but also one that's been a little demanding.
"I thought there were thousands of other guys that deserved it, but it's been a great year. But now the pressures off," he said good-naturedly. "I can be a slob again."
Posh brands solo career a 'mistake'
Victoria Beckham has apparently admitted that her solo singing career was a mistake, albeit one from which she is happy to learn.The former Spice Girl said that she was "lost" when she teamed up with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers to launch 'Out Of Your Mind' in 2000 following the group's split.
The 35-year-old told Harper's Bazaar: "People never believed the solo singing career, and it wasn't the real me - I was a little bit lost at the time. I don't mind making mistakes."
The mother-of-three has since launched her own clothing collection and said that fashion is her true calling. "I was always pushed into the theatre and dance - it's just taken me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do," she said.
X Factor's Jedward - don't back them to win
People in Britain are always complaining how skint they are - and then go throw away what little dosh they have by backing the Grimes twins to win X Factor.It emerged this week that the twins were both born three months premature - which you have to say is one hell of a coincidence - but whoever is backing them must have been born yesterday.
Haven't they heard of Chico, Same Difference, and the MacDonald Brothers? All played the twins' role of hopeless contestants who couldn't carry a tune; all eventually perished - generally about a fortnight after newspaper campaigns to keep them in.
The raison d'etre of X Factor is not to unearth a superstar, it is to get you to pick up a phone and vote - assuming you can prise it from your teenage daughter. Creating pantomime villains like John and Edward is key. In the first weeks we voted for everybody else to get them out. Now, after hugely sympathetic stories in the press, we vote for them to get everybody else out, especially if it's Danyl.
Pantomime is good for the show's supremos (because of cash raked in); it's good for Simon Cowell (because he's the show's supremo); and it's good for Louis Walsh (because he's BEHIND YOU).
But the pantomime season is a short one, particularly if Les Dennis is in it, and sooner or later the twins will find they have served their purpose. Three weeks from now the stories about the twins will be negatives ones.

'Twas the night before Halloween, I'm thinking aloud...
I may be babysitting for my nephew tomorrow evening. I say "may" because when I called his mom to talk about it, she said she wasn't feeling well and might not be going out.
She's going to see how she feels after taking him trick-or-treating that afternoon. (I was momentarily rankled that he'll be going while it's still light out...then I remembered he's going as Darth Vader, so visibility is a factor.)
Anyway, if I do end up going over, I was thinking it might not be a bad idea to pick up a few scary--but appropriate for children--movies on the way.
So, I went in search of some films in the PG range (he's seven) that got high rankings on the old Tomatometer.
You know what I found out? Film ratings sure seem to have changed (not that I'm suggesting the MPAA is anything but consistent and well-reasoned).
Bear in mind, all of these are movies that, theoretically, I could've plunked down money at any theater in the land and seen all by myself (in one or two cases, did) when I was my nephew's age or younger.
Jaws. Ok, one of the great movies no question but...really? My poor nephew's already afraid to get his face wet when he goes swimming. Pass.
Sleuth (original, with Olivier and Caine).This I don't think would scare him too bad, but I also don't think he'd find it very interesting.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978, Kaufman version).
Are you crazy? The "photo novel" version of this alone gave me the creeps when I was a kid.
And when it comes to bleak endings, I might just as well show him the ending of Saw IV.
...and that is never, ever going to happen, at least not for another decade.
Phantom of the Paradise.Again: Powerful if flawed movie, but so not something I think anyone should see before they're (at least) old enough to drive. Watched that trailer? PG?
Poltergeist. Yeah, his parents would forgive me for that.
Swamp Thing. Ah! Now we're talking. Now that's a kid's horror movie (and the one I actually saw in the theater when I was nine or ten).
-providing you watch the version with Adrienne Barbeau's topless scene edited out, of course...
Stepford Wives (1970s version). Somehow, I think the intended antifeminism backlash satire might be lost upon the kid. And that's probably a good thing (come a long long way baby, etc).
BTW, listen to the narrator of this trailer. Isn't that Tony Perkins?
Twilight Zone: The Movie. No, but more because it's kind of crap than really all that
...scary.
Anyway as we all know, the freakiest part of this movie is not on the screen.
(Trivia: The third and fifth season Simpsons Halloween episodes have good spoofs of Zone episodes that were also adapted for this film, one of which, in turn, stars Nancy "Bart Simpson" Cartwright)
If not these, what then?
A Harry Potter movie might not be a bad idea...my fave is still Order of the Phoenix, and I don't know if he's seen it.
Coraline I know he's seen a few times.
I have a lot of fond memories of Bedknobs & Broomsticks, and here's one now...
I don't know if it would hold up for a 21st century child, but it has just been re-released on DVD...
Side note to self: It's not really a Halloween movie, but you must show Tristan Tron some day.
(esp. before this comes out)
Maybe we'll just watch (if anything) one of his many Pixar DVDs...

Speaking of Willis, did you know she was made by Mattel?
(Another one of those jokes I deserve to go to hell for...)
The tendency of the universe towards balance
Brace yourself, it seems Lindsay Lohan may've been missing the feel of rough hands upon her breasts, and has switched back to boys again (take down her flag!).
But, have no fear, those of you who will miss a lesbian pairing of which many are skeptical:
This January, 90210 will embark on a major same-sex storyline that will pair the show’s token lesbian, Gia, played by Rumer Willis, with another major (and heretofore straight) female character.
(BTW, I want you to know I thought up the idea for this post before I knew there were photos of Lohan and Willis kissing. It's all an amazing coincidence.)
Producers are shocked--shocked!--to think that anyone could think this was a desperate ratings ploy.
“This isn’t a fling,” insists executive producer Rebecca Sinclair. “We’re coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’ This is a real aspect of teenager life that’s interesting… And there’s been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters.”
Damn, am I the only one?
Deborah "the artist formerly known as Debbie" Gibson showed some ab at a recent event:
She's getting a lot of love for 'em from the writers and readers of this site, but I'm having trouble feeling it. Call me unreconstructed, but I prefer my women a little softer, even cushion-y, like, oh, say, this:
Deborah Gibson should pay attention to this Debbie Gibson person.
On the other hand, at least it looks as though she got that rock-hard ab body naturally, as opposed to...
(and for the Playboy pics, some Photoshop may have been involved).

Worthy of note
Something's been bothering me a little bit lately with all the talk about how Fox "News" leans to the right and is not really a news organization. There seems to be this compulsive, knee-jerk need to then add something like: "But of course, the left has MSNBC."
Even people I like and respect have done this, like Jon Stewart on last night's Daily Show. But I don't think it's right to cast the two organizations as any kind of true equivalent of each other, and not just because I'm a Democrat.
Greg Sargent agrees:
Debatable to say the least. I don't watch Schultz's show, but Maddow and Olbermann I do. They are smart people, and their shows promote smarts. From everything that I have seen, read, and heard of Fox "News," their people are dumb (or cynically pretending to be so) and their shows promote dumbness.
What political party they support has less to do with it than some people think.

Greg Sargent agrees:
Sure, MSNBC has Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Ed Schultz. But it’s debatable, to begin with, that they are polar opposites — in terms of their ideology or their relationship to reality — of Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.

Still and all, I would totally date Courtney Love if given half a chance
Look at it this way: The conversation would never be boring. It might not always be incoherent, but it would never be boring.
Also, check out those sexy lips.
That's all I'm saying.
