Moment of Strange

The good news about the fourth season is that, judging from the early episodes, Ball appears to have found a way to integrate many of these characters into one major arc, centering on new baddie Marnie (brilliant Irish actress Fiona Shaw), a Wiccan who runs the local coven and is interested in the stretching the limits of necromancy, which understandably gives the undead the heebie-jeebies.

At the end of the third season, our heroine Sookie (Anna Paquin), vampire boyfriend Bill (Stephen Moyer) and vamp bigwig Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) had dispatched, Hoffa-style, Russell Edgington, the Mississippi vampire regent who was proving to be a bit of a public relations nightmare for the pro-mainstreaming American Vampire League.

Gwyneth Paltrow loves being a stay-at-home mother. The 38-year-old actress - who has children Apple, seven, and Moses, five, with husband Chris Martin - feels "fulfilled" now she has learned to work less and spend more time with her children and spouse.

Gwyneth said: "I enjoy being a mother and staying at home and looking after my kids. I like being able to take the children to school and to make their food and spend a lot of time with them. It's a much more fulfilling kind of life for me. It's a lot easier now. I'm happiest when I'm sitting down for dinner with my family."

The 'Country Strong' star admits she can be a "strict" mother but is always willing to compromise on issues the children feel particularly passionate about.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been a busy lady. Not only has she made surprise cameos for Glee's live show in New Jersey, the glamour goddess was honored at the Bent on Learning gala in NYC for her contributions to the yoga community and looked marvelous. The Iron Man beauty sported a lovely black-and-gray Alexander Wang draped dress to the benefit (where she raised an extra $10,000 for the cause). Each drape of the fabric seemed to flatter her fit bod as if it were made specifically with her shape in mind. She paired the frock with black strappy peep-toe sandals and minimal accessories finished off her evening attire. Her sun-kissed skin was glowing full-force, while her golden locks lightened her look up for a nice summer glam. Blondie has proven she really can do it all and look magnificent in the process.

Legendary rocker Peter Frampton has filed for divorce from his wife of 15 years, Christina Elfers. Frampton filed the divorce papers in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The 61-year-old singer is asking for joint legal custody and visitation rights of the couple's 15-year-old daughter, Mia. However, Frampton is asking that the primary physical custody of their daughter be awarded to Elfers. Frampton is also asking that the lawyer's fees be shared with Elfers. This is Frampton's third divorce, but what most people don't realize is that Frampton is most famous for winning a palimony suit with former live-in girlfriend Penny McCall. In fact, McCall vs. Frampton was such a strong victory for Frampton that most family law attorneys in New York state still won't take on palimony cases to this day, more than three decades later.

Back in the 1970s, "palimony" suits became popular on the West Coast. Celebrity attorney Marvin Mitchelson won substantial "rehabilitation" settlements for girlfriends of the rich and famous, including Michelle Marvin (from her live-in boyfriend Lee Marvin) and Britt Ekland (from her live-in boyfriend Rod Stewart). Gloria Allred has continued in this tradition, representing high profile girlfriends ranging from Amber Frey (Scott Peterson) to Rachel Uchitel (Tiger Woods). But, on the East Coast, you gotta put a ring on it, if you're planning on any settlement after you split from your lover. The couple got married in 1996 and split on New Year's Eve of 2010.

The film Snow White revolves around the story of how CIA and Canadian government officials joined forces to rescue six Americans who’d been taken hostage in Iran (circa 1979) – by convincing the country’s officials that the captives were actually members of a production crew working on a new Hollywood film, titled “Argo.”

Oscar-winner Alan Arkin signed onto Argo a couple weeks back – and now Variety says that Golden Globe-winner John Goodman is negotiating to join the film’s cast. The former Roseanne star is up to play the role of John Chambers, the real-life Oscar-winning makeup artist who worked on the original Planet of the Apes movie – and played a pivotal role in the “Argo” operation.

With stars like Arkin and Goodman onboard to star, a fascinating real-life rescue operation plot, and Affleck calling the shots, Argo definitely has potential to be a memorable film. Look for more noteworthy actors to join the cast over the upcoming months.
