Although I love both, I have to say, James is on a hot streak and has been doing some of his finest acting work in the recent pictures he’s been in…Ewan hasn’t had a hit in a while. But both are capable actors, although IMHO, Ewan will always be my favorite hottie Scottie. You just cannot beat Obi-Wan.
Thoughts?

A bit off topic, but was just curious to know if there are any knitters out there. I just finished a 4 week class at Downtown Yarns in the East Village and would love to connect with some other downtown New Yorkers who are into knitting. Since I’m a beginner I’m looking to swap tips and tricks and patterns, faves and resources.
For those not in New York, if you have tips on great knitting/crafting websites/groups, I’m all ears!

“Did I tell you I met Albert Hammond Jr. the other night?” he [British actor Ed Westwick, aka “Chuck Bass”] asked Leighton one afternoon at the Rose Bar, when she came in to hang out with him and castmate Jessica Szohr, who plays Dan’s former love interest Vanessa. “It was so fucking cool. He knew who I was. Apparently he’s a fan of Gossip Girl. He was like, ‘I love your character, man.’”
“You love him,” Leighton said, laughing, as Ed waxed on.
“I do, I fucking love him,” Ed said dreamily, putting on Leighton’s sunglasses.
It was Ed’s day off, and he was intoxicated, not only with the idea that a member of the Strokes knew who he was but also with actual booze, having downed approximately four Jack-and-Cokes.

HELLOOO!!! Singing all Broadway showtunes–Andrew Lloyd Weber as the guest.
THEATER GEEK’S DREAM:
TMA fave David Cook (unfortunately) sings the most boring arrangement of “Music of the Night” from Phantom. He should’ve done something from Joseph, yo:
Yessss! Hello excitement! Just when you’d totally resigned yourself to forever hearing Albert Hammond Jr. referenced as a solo artist, Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture has given hope to all the er… Strokesheads … out there with his most recent post to the official Strokes website.
Says Nikolai, “I’m still looking very forward to a fourth album release. We just need to work out a few technical kinks…It’s been a long break but much needed for us to remain together as a productive band.”
During the “extended break” from The Strokes, Nikolai has been working on some personal projects–music of his own (which he promises will surface in the near future), and putting together a short film entitled “A Kind of Dream”. The movie is a 30 minute black and white film written and directed by Fraiture’s college friend Danny Velez with music composed by Nikolai. According to the official info on the film, “It was shot over 4 to 5 days during the spring of 2003 by Clara Roberts-Oss.”
Scarlett Johansson, who will be releasing an album of Tom Waits covers on May 20 has released the first song off the LP, “Falling Down.” The full album, titled “Anywhere I Lay My Head” will be sure to cause a firestorm on the blogosphere.
Let’s just hope the other tracks on the album are better than this sludge. Sounds like the engineer went overboard with sonic layers in order to mask the fact that Johansson is not really an excellent troubadour. Also it kinda reminds me of Sinead O’Connor.
Me no likey.

According to People: “Lily Allen, checking out the art of musician-turned-painter pal Paul Simonon (of The Clash) during a private viewing at London’s Thomas Williams Fine Art Gallery. The newly blonde singer got a sneak preview of the work – inspired by Simonon’s time in Spain – before it officially opens to the public on April 17. ”
Allen, who was recently dropped as an Orange Prize judge, is said to be dating comedian James Corden, who she met on her chat show “Lily Allen and Friends” last month. Watch the sparks fly:
