starstarstarstar
Eastern insurance man Hope takes out a policy on Corey, not knowing that he is the famous outlaw. Going west to protect his client, Hope is set up as Jesse James so that Corey can collect on his own insurance by simply waiting for Hope to get shot. This fairly amusing send-up of Wild West cliches is highlighted by the surprise appearance of some famous Hollywood gunslingers who come to the star's rescue. leave a comment

However, you have fully redeemed yourself with your latest tidbit about the Michael Vartan saga! Don't stop there, though — any news on the negotiations to bring him back to the show?


Answer: Were you the one who banished me to a life of eternal damnation? All my hate mail tends to blur together. Anyway, yes, there is a major — major — development on the Vartan/Vaughn front: The deal officially closed late last week and Vartan returned to work on the Alias set yesterday. Please don't ask me who he's playing or how long his return engagement will last, because that I can't tell read more

Question: Any truth that Alias will continue after this season without Jen, but with that new blonde chick in her place? If so, tell the producers to quit while they're behind. I mean ahead. (I'm not bitter about Vaughn. Nope, not me.)


Answer: I'm willing to bet my entire collection of 2005 Smurfs that Alias will be put to rest in May.
