Bryan Greenberg, October Road
Bryan Greenberg has nothing to complain about. First, he snuggled up to Hilarie Burton on One Tree Hill, then he was all over Uma Thurman in Prime, and now he's smooching That '70s gal Laura Prepon in the new ABC drama October Road, debuting tonight at 10 pm/ET. Returning to his hometown after 10 years, Greenberg's author Nick Garrett is welcomed back with hesitation by those who feel betrayed by his first novel, and that's where the story really begins: The on-screen romances are just a

In an interview appearing in this weekend's Parade magazine, Ethan Hawke hints at the circumstances surrounding his 2004 split from wife Uma Thurman, with whom he has two children, ages 8 and 4. Confessing that he "never wanted to be too hot,” but instead prefers to fly under the radar, Hawke says being wed to another celebrity took its toll. "I didn’t like being famous when I was single, and what it did to my celebrity status to be married to another famous person was a huge pressure," he shares. "One I didn’t enjoy." Citing half of today's most headline-making duo, Hawke marvels, "I don’t know how Brad Pitt does it.”

I spent the whole weekend in Atlanta playing Guitar Hero 2... and yes, it was awesome! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a game for Playstation 2. It's basicaly like guitar karaoke. It just came out Wednesday and has a lot more games than the first one and you can do multi-player with one person playing lead, the other bass. I spent the whole weekend opening up levels/songs. I think I've found the new love of my life. When I did break away from my virtual rockstar life, I was watching movies. HBO has been playing one of my favorite movies a lot lately — Prime. It's a fabulous movie, with some really great actors: Meryl Streep, Uma Thurman, Bryan Greenberg. If you have time, you should definitely check it out. I also made it to see Babel. That was a really amazing movie. The movie had a lot of layers, but I found that it was mostly about the breakdown of communication between people and cultures. Every actor in the movie was great. And one of my favorite actors,...

Anna Faris, Scary Movie 4
Believe it or not, Anna Faris likes it when her lovable but clueless Cindy Campbell, who returns in Scary Movie 4 (now in theaters), takes a hit or two as she saves the world. "I'm always pretty game for that," says the actress. "Cindy's so sweet and innocent, which gets a little annoying, [so] it's fun to take me down every now and then."
Faris gets her wish in one scene in the latest sequel, when an airplane cart slams into Cindy's face. "It looks like it could have been [my] stunt double, which was frustrating because it was me," she reveals. On the flip side, Faris thinks moviegoers will see that it's definitely her "twin" taking hits from a Mike Tyson look-alike in the spoof of a boxing film. "[We] had this 10-minute, very choreographed sequ

Rainn Wilson, The Office
He loves Count Chocula, can't be relied upon to keep track of the days of the week, claims he can raise (and lower) his cholesterol at will, comes from lineage that produces "very thirsty babies" and likens his dynamic with boss man Michael to "Butch Cassidy and Mozart." That, in a nutshell, is a passing look at The Office's Dwight Schrute, played as if he were born into the role by Rainn Wilson. TVGuide.com spoke with Wilson about his "brothers," Owen and Luke, the NBC comedy's new Thursday time slot and the truth about working with porn stars.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show enjoyed its best ratings week ever the week ending Dec. 18, due in large part to a visit from The Producers stars Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick and Will Ferrell. The show drew more than five million viewers, the talker's largest single-day audience in two and a half years on the air — which will quite possibly be more people than will actually see the critically drubbed big-screen musical.

Appearing on CBS' The Late Show on Thursday night, Oprah Winfrey ended her supposed "feud" with David Letterman, going so far as to gift him with an autographed photo of her and Uma Thurman. "I want you to know: It's really over, whatever you thought was happening," Winfrey told the late-night host. In case their first one-on-one in 16 years went sour, Letterman had Tony Danza waiting in the wings as a "stand-in host." Seriously. THIS JUST IN: The OprahMan lovefest drew Late Show's highest ratings since February 1994, luring 13.5 million folks hoping to see Dave get bitch-slapped..
