Hooray for Madonna, as once again she proves that her thumb is nowhere near the pulse of the modern zeitgeist. Not content with continuing her musical career by gyrating around like a raggedy old scarecrow in a leotard (and making the nation get a little bit of sick come into its collective mouth) she has now decided to come out in support of Tom Cruise.

Odd this, but a video of actor Jason Beghe deriding Scientology has been removed from YouTube. The official explanation is that there is a dispute between the file hosting company and the videographer Mark Bunker.

What a different place the world would be if the casting directors of 'Edward Scissorhands' had gone with their first choice of actor for the role instead of the lovely Johnny Depp. Johnny is forthright on the fact that he was not the original choice, with the movie company wanting a more established star.

So who would you pick to look after your offspring in the sad event that something untoward should happen to you and you should perish before the fruit of your loins reach adulthood? You would choose someone grounded and reliable and caring but not overbearing, wouldn't you... Not if you're J.Lo...

Poor old Tom Cruise. Since he began talking about his 'religion' at every opportunity his popularity seems to have diminished, as have the numbers of people wanting to ay good money to see his ridiculous head floating about in the cinema. Now 'Valkyrie', his latest snappily-titled film is attracting criticism from all sides. Tom plays Colonel Claus con Stauffenberg, a German general who hatches a plot to kill Hitler. And plays him really badly. With a perfect Californian accent.
