Culture Buzz The News of the World/Rupert Murdoch/phone hacking scandal is going to make for an awesome movie (one that will hopefully be scripted by Aaron Sorkin, directed by Stephen Frears and called something like “Citizen Murdoch” or “Hacked: A Tale Of Power And Tragedy.”). Here's my casting wishlist. Since you are a very opinionated internet, surely you have your own ideas as to who should play Rebekah Brooks, Hugh Grant, Wendi Deng, et al. Play casting couch in the comments!
Culture Buzz UPDATE: Bowing to intensifying public and political pressure, Rupert Murdoch's son has announced that the News of the World will publish its last issue on Sunday. The uproar in Britain over a tabloid hacking into private cell phone data has intensified as it was revealed some of the phones may have belonged to dead soldiers, missing children and victims of terrorist attacks. British Prime Minister David Cameron has called the revelations “absolutely disgusting” and has called for public inquiries, on top of an ever-widening police investigation, into the scandal.
Movie Buzz …in Iron Man 2. Book your tickets now. (Not.) (Also: this is being posted over personal Team Gwyneth objections.) Related: Iron Man vs. Hugh Grant, because he's punching all my loved ones today.)
Celebrity Buzz Inspired by this tragic photograph. We're a long way from Four Weddings and A Funeral (or Divine Brown). Woof.
Based on the results of a survey asking English men whose facial features they'd most like to have, this is a composite image made from Orlando Bloom's nose, Hugh Grant's hair, Daniel Craig's eyes, rugby player Jonny Wilkinson's mouth, Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton's skin, and Ewan McGregor's jaw. There you have it, ladies - the ultimate Englishman would look kind of like a simpering douchebag. But you probably already knew that.
