Glen Close visits Jonathan Ross

Mega star Glen Close visited with Jonathan Ross last night. I have to say that Jonathan Ross is one of my favorite chat show hosts. He asks celebrities the best questions.

Glen discusses her role on “Fatal Attraction,” how she stays in shape, her happiness over receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her participation in a triathlon, her role on BBC’s “Damages,” and playing Cruella Deville in “101 Dalmatians.”

“Damages” returns to BBC 1 on February 15th.

Alyson Hannigan visits with Ellen

A very pregnant Alyson Hannigan visited with “Ellen” today.  The 34-year-old “How I met your Mother star” is working that pregnancy glow.

She won’t share the sex of her baby but I think it might be a girl!  She wore all that pink, I think it’s a hidden clue.  She confessed though that her mother had the same pregnancy craving (Ginger Ale) when she was carrying Alyson.  I agree with Ellen, it’s a girl!

Alyson also chats about who she is rooting for in the Superbowl, who she thinks will win on “The Bachelor,” and how she is hiding her tummy on “How I met your Mother.”

Flight of the Conchords Tour Date Announcement!

fotcToday is one of the best days of my life!!  I just saw the tour schedule for the “Flight of the Conchords ” and I am truly amazed that they are coming to Miami.  Only very mainstream acts come here. And as you can tell, I  am a HUGE fan of the show.

They may be going to your city also.  For the Florida dates Kristen Schaal (Mel) will be the opener, and Arj Barker (Dave) will be opening on quite a few nights.  Check out the schedule (as per Ticketmaster & their myspace page) below.

Too bad the Miami show is on a Tuesday, I wanted to wear my business socks.

Cuban hotness Andy Garcia visits Jimmy Kimmel

That’s what I call a hot piece of Cuban bootay! Andy Garcia visited with Jimmy Kimmel last night to promote his role in the latest installment of the Pink Panther.

He shares this hilarious story about Jimmy’s uncle Frank seeing him at St. Patrick’s Cathedral all the time, yet he has never visited! He also chats about his support of Arizona in the Super Bowl, attending the first ever Miami Dolphins game, his son being a Star Wars fanatic, Mickey Rourke being his Little League coach, and his start in a comedy troop in 1978.

“Pink Panther 2″ hits theaters February 6th.

Renee Zellweger visits Letterman

rz1“Bridget Jones” actress Renee Zellweger visited “The Late Show with David Letterman” last night to promote her latest RomCom entitled, “New in Town.”  The 39-year-old looked fierce in this one-shoulder red dress!!  She has the perfect body!!

Letterman took notice of her hot bod and got Renee to confess her secret to being in such fabulous shape.  Oh how I wish it was something easier……Running!  She runs 3 miles a day and does some weight training.

Renee also chats about her experience at the inauguration, filming in Winnipeg, working with Harry Connick Jr., and her new film that was partially filmed in South Beach entitled, “New in Town.”

“New in Town” hits theaters today.

Is Meryl Streep ready to “Rock”?

On Tuesday, The New York Daily News claimed in its Gatecrasher column, that “30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin had asked Streep to guest star on the hit NBC comedy at Sunday’s SAG awards. And, the story claimed, Streep had agreed.

If you’re any older than 25 than you might have an idea about the fact that Meryl Streep can actually be pretty funny! Then again, she could be just an incredibly well rounded actress, which I’m sure not many would debate. Her career has been on fire over the past few years, but I think an appearance on 30 Rock would certainly bring her even more so to the mainstream. Most of the movies she’s made lately have been chick flicks, so until a few weeks ago I hadn’t seen The Devil Wears Prada but I don’t think I’ll be subjected to Mamma Mia unless there’s some nookie as a reward afterwards. I honestly can’t wait to see Doubt but that’s mostly because of my appreciation of Philip Seymour Hoffman in just about any movie. Given 30 Rock‘s track record of guest stars, this wouldn’t surprise me as some figure-heads putting some feelers out there to see if it’ll work.

Liam Neeson visits The View

Liam Neeson visited the ladies of “The View” today to promote his upcoming thriller, “Taken.”   You can tell these women were over joyed to have Liam on the show today!

Sherri even had the balls to ask him how he felt about being named the Ideal Irish Bed Partner!!  He beat out younger beef cake like Colin Farrell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers!  Yeah, I”m not to sure about that…..

He chats about preparing for his role as Bryan Miller in “Taken,” the possibility of becoming a sexy version of Abraham Lincoln for an upcoming Steven Spielberg movie, and why he loves being an actor.

You can catch “Taken” in the theaters starting Friday.
