Christina Hendricks, London Fog and Photoshop: not the threesome you had in mind

When it was announced two days ago that Mad Men star and notoriously curvy redhead Christina Hendricks would be the new face of London Fog, a respectible number of headlines appeared on Mad Men, fashionista and celeberazzi blogs. Hendricks, who's never been one to hide her ample curves, is shown in a series of photographs on the London Fog website prepping for the shoot. But in the final ads, was her alluring figure diminished through the wonder of Photoshop?

Megan Fox digs Voltron

Slow news day? Not really but when the former leading lady of the Transformers movie franchise is spotted wearing a Voltron t-shirt I believe that it's worthy of a mention. Maybe the gang making the Voltron movie at World Event Productions would be interested in knowing this little fact.

The San Diego Comic-Con has finally posted its Thursday schedule of programming this year's event. There's quite a number of panels devoted strictly to movies and television shows, with a number of high profile actors, directors, writers and producers scheduled to make appearances at their respective presentations.

Lindsay Lohan to serve 90 day jail term

Maybe this is the moment that Lindsay Lohan hits rock bottom. Let's hope that the descent doesn't go any further.

Dennis Hopper: 1936 - 2010

The director of Easy Rider has left us. Dennis Hopper, the actor/director/writer and star of that seminal 1969 movie that defined the turbulent 1960s for a generation of western audiences, passed away today at the age of 74. Through a series of memorable roles in remarkable pictures, Hopper left a mark on Hollywood and American pop culture in the last half of the 20th century.

Former child star of Diff'rent Strokes Gary Coleman passed away earlier today in a Utah Valley hospital. On Wednesday he suffered a brain hemorrhage after taking a fall and had been admitted to hospital. Yesterday Coleman slipped into unconsciousness and never came out of it. Doctors kept his body alive but made the hard decision today to remove life support and let nature take its course. He passed away at 12:05 PM.

Leonard Nimoy is hanging up the pointy ears

The man who originated the character of Mr. Spock on Star Trek back in 1967 has gone on the record to say there will be no more acting treks for him. Leonard Nimoy, who is a spy 79-years-old, told The Toronto Sun newspaper that after he finished filming the latest episode of Fringe he's retiring from acting for good.

Remembering Robert Culp

Earlier today an accomplished American actor of modest television fame went out for a walk in the neighborhood surrounding his Hollywood home. Sometime during his walk he collapsed to the ground, perhaps striking his head as he fell. He was eventually discovered by a jogger who then notified authorities, who them transported him to a medical facility.

Shortly before noon that man, Robert Culp, was pronounced deceased, the cause of death listed as a heart attack. He was 79-years-old.

Peter Graves, star of Mission: Impossible, dead at 83

Throughout his six decades as a working actor Peter Graves became known to three different generations. When he began his career in the early 1950s, Graves became a leading man, a square-jawed hero. That image gave him the job serving as the agency director when ABC launched its spy adventure series Mission: Impossible. Graves' role as Jim Phelps, the no-nonsense commander that assigned agents missions on tape that would soon self-destruct, became the defining role of his career.

Corey Haim dead at the age of 38

Zanuck, Joe Roth, Disney Chariman Rich Ross and Disney CEO and President Bob Iger came to greet Prince Charles and Lady Camilla and watch the movie.

Two and a Half Men minus the star

When Charlie Sheen voluntarily checked himself into rehab there was a couple of big meetings taking place at CBS, the network where the troubled actor's hit comedy Two and a Half Men airs. While the show remains television's number one rated sitcom, CBS has had to deal with the fallout from the domestic incident between the actor and his wife, Brooke Mueller, that occured last Christmas Day.

Olivia Wilde's new position

We all know that actresses have to put up with some pretty slutty expectations if they're to forge a career in showbiz. I'm not questioning the ladies' virtue, no; instead, what I'm observing is the demands that modern pop culture have on a pretty face so that they can grace the pages of a magazine.

This side of Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert is arguably the world's most famous living film critic. In the late 1970s it was both he and Gene Siskel, two Chicago-based newspaper film critics, that hosted the television movie review show Sneak Previews. And like that, suddenly movie reviews started to become pop culture. Without Sneak Previews there likely wouldn't have been an Entertainment Tonight or today's crushing wave of celebrity/movie/television news, reviews and opinion. The modern age of infotainment -- both the good and bad aspects of it -- owes its origin to Siskel, Ebert and public television broadcasting.

Rip Torn arrested for breaking into bank

He was in Men in Black. Last night he shouldn't have been a man in a bank.
