I didn't know exactly what thread this belongs in, but this is as good as any:


Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, are a wanted couple -- there's a felony arrest warrant out for both of them for allegedly burglarizing and defrauding an innkeeper.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department got the warrant this past Monday, after the Quaids allegedly skipped out on a huge bill at the San Ysidro Ranch.

A Sheriff's rep tells us so far the department has not made an arrest.

We've tried contacting Randy's rep. So far, no comment.

They are down to the last four actors.....Robert Downey Jr. vs. Daniel Craig, and Heath Ledger (for Joker) vs. Elijah Wood (for Frodo).

Voting ends Sept. 30th.  So far, Ledger trails Elijah Wood, 42% to 58%

Let's get Heath ahead of Elijah!  Click the link below, and the page will open up.  Scroll down past a pic and video of The Joker, and then a pic and video of Frodo.  You'll find the place to vote there.

Even though Bush referred to Nichols as her boyfriend to friends, Austin played coy when our own Party Girl asked him if they were dating.

"I'm not gonna say anything except that...I'm here to drink. We were talking before. We have a bunch of friends together—we work together," Austin said.

Looks like Nichols has taken a romance tip straight from BFF Jake Gyllenhaal's playbook: boring in public and saving the supposed spicy stuff for behind closed doors.

Sophia Bush, showed up to the Sixth Annual Hollywood Style Awards last night with her other more-than-costar, Austin
Nichols.



Maybe they can double date with Jake and Reese!

I can't speak highly enough of foreverinawe's recently highlighted tribute to BBM featured on TDS. In the light of that video, I'm rediscovering Les Miserables. Fia uses a recording of I dreamed a dream that sits so right but as a result of looking it up on utube, I came across this version sung by Ruthie Henshall. It blew me away. Have had to order the double dvd from which the clip's taken on the strength of it. I saw this show in London when it first came out and remember being somewhat underwhelmed but now, it all looks and sounds quite different and I'm of a mind to give it another go, especially in the light of what Fia has done with IDAD in his video.
