Please help us put an end to ...

Milo Ventimiglia

Question: Please help us put an end to our agony: There have been rumors, but do you know for sure if Milo Ventimiglia and Alexis Bledel have broken up?


Answer: This is your lucky day, Marianna. Last Friday, Milo himself dropped by the TV Guide offices for a quick meet-and-greet with the staff, and guess what question popped out of my mouth first? C'mon, guess. [Pause] Yes — your question! And sadly, it's true. He confirmed that he and Alexis are no longer an item and he's back on the market. The extremely private actor then added with a laugh, "And that's about all you'll get out of me." Well, that's all the private stuff, anyway. Milo did dish about a possible return to Gilmore Girls, saying it's "never going to happen" — especially now that Team read more

Is Milo Ventimiglia of ...

Question: Is Milo Ventimiglia of Gilmore Girls and the new Rocky movie related to John Ventimiglia, who plays Artie Bucco on The Sopranos?


Answer: Although the rumor that movie and TV actor John Ventimiglia is the father of Milo Ventimiglia (who also divides his time between the big and small screens), they are in fact not related at all. In addition, though John is older than Milo, he's only nine years older. So if he were Milo's dad, there'd be quite a story there.

It seems that many critics ...

And the winner was... Crash: Thandie Newton, Matt Dillon

Question: It seems that many critics are not happy with the Academy for failing to recognize Brokeback Mountain as the right film at the right time. What are some other famous snubs that the Academy is still embarrassed about? Thanks.


Answer: I personally think the Academy is shameless, and I've never ever heard — nor do I think I ever will — an official spokesperson concede that its membership made a big fat mistake giving the best-picture Oscar to one film rather than another. But I think there's a pretty overwhelming consensus among everyone else who cares that calling Ordinary People — a genuinely good movie, I hasten to add — the best motion picture of 1980 when it was up against Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull, which is widely con read more

Is Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) ...

Question: Is Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) going to return to Gilmore Girls any time soon?


Answer: Let's ask Amy Sherman-Palladino: "I hope so. Milo is taking over the world. He's his own little conglomerate. He has more meetings than I ever had in my whole life. The boy does nothing but take meetings. So, we're just playing it by ear. The door has always been open to Milo and always will be because we just love him to death." I think a lot of it hinges on the success of his WB mid-season drama The Bedford Diaries, which I must get around to watching. THIS JUST IN: Milo has been cast as Sylvester Stallone's grown son in the upcoming sixth Rocky film. For more, click here.

THIS TIME, IT'S REALLY, TRULY, VERY PERSONAL

Sylvester Stallone as Rambo

Less than two weeks after announcing that he would star in a sixth Rocky film, Sylvester Stallone is attached to revisit one-man killing machine John Rambo in a third sequel to 1982's First Blood. In Rambo IV, Stallone's Vietnam vet, now living as a recluse, is forced to take justice into his own hands when a girl goes missing. And by "take justice" we mean "stand up without getting winded." read more

IT COULD BE WORSE

Sylvester Stallone

He could be making another Cobra. Instead, Sylvester Stallone is doing a sixth Rocky feature, this one called Rocky Balboa. In it, the actor-writer-director will bring his title character out of retirement to fight — all together now — one last bout. read more

Joe's producers have quite a sadistic...

Joe's producers have quite a sadistic streak. I had guessed that maybe they'd send Rocky's and Nathan's ex-girlfriends to talk to Anna, but sending her mother to talk to them? Cruel genius. And mom Halina described the result so eloquently: "There is some discomfort in this talking." Ole Rocky's pat "dreamer" answers (garr! Now the very word makes me want to stick pineapples in my ears!) don't work so well on Mama. Especially when she skipped the small talk and asked "Have you ever cheated?" No romantic waterfall can save you now, soap boy. (BTW, what the &!#@ does "With passion comes chance" mean?!?) Of course, mild-mannered Nathan aced this tricky task. Hard to imagine him in the Air Force. After their final dates, however, I really thought Anna would pick the guy who made her heart pound over the one who pleased her mom. Then again, I get the feeling she's made that choice before and has been burned by one too many pretty boys. A qua read more

Wow, Anna's a little less predictable...

Wow, Anna's a little less predictable than I thought. I did guess that of the made-over Joes, she'd pick Nathan to come along to Tahiti. His letter last week was a smooth move, and not too schmaltzy except for that bit about her eyes. It took only two days for the team to give Nathan new teeth, a new wardrobe, a shave and a haircut, all of which boosted his confidence enough to make him worthy of some camera time. Honestly, I had to go online to watch his interview clip just to find out anything about his personality. It was pretty hard for me to pay any attention to the dates this week, 'cause I was so distracted by the amazing scenery of Tahiti. Judging by those awkward silences, Rocky must have felt the same way. When he did speak, even Anna noted that his words were straight out of a soap opera. She didn't care too much — man candy! Josh Nachlas, sorry, sweetie, but I could see exactly how you lost the girl. Forget about abstinence until marriage; mos read more

Or should we say, the Joshes strike...

Or should we say, the Joshes strike back? Heh. Almost as funny as Carson's "Average Jokes." I have a newfound respect for my friends who recently joined the Gotham Girls Roller Derby; that game is brutal! The Joes won the only way they could: by making Anna nurse their boo-boos. I wrongly guessed that Carson's 'roid-rage display would make Anna finally cross him off her list; someone must have whispered in her ear about making good TV. So she gave the bully a chance to show what else he has under that ugly surface, and guess what? Deep down, he's really fake and unoriginal. She still gave him tongue, though! Maybe Anna just likes kissing. Nothing wrong with that. Carson came home "a believer" in the Anna legend, and he convinced himself that the outcome is totally up to him. Nooooo, our Little Mermaid has actually been as in love with Josh Nachlas as we've been all along. She even rewarded him with a peek at her messy bedroom. That is real intimacy read more
