Another day, another edition of What’s Hot! Let’s get right down to it.
David Duchovny has landed himself a new movie role. The former X-Files star, currently in rehab for sex addiction, has signed onto the dramedy “The Joneses”. The film is about a faux family feigning the picture of a perfect clan as a marketing ploy to introduce luxury products to neighborhoods. Duchovny will play the bogus father, who is currently undergoing a “crisis of confidence” due to the phony life he’s leading, while Demi Moore will portray the career-driven mother who’s struggling with her growing affection for Duchovny’s character. Good luck to David and here’s hoping everything goes well in his future.
Katie Holmes made her Broadway debut but not without some controversy. Two dozen anti-Scientology protesters showed up outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater, where Holmes is starring in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, to demonstrate their distaste for the religion, shouting such chants as “Scientology is a cult,” and the staple since TomKat hooked up in 2005, “Free Katie”. The protesters said they weren’t there to protest Katie, but Scientology which they see as a cult. None of this seemed to affect the actress who held her own on stage and received two standing ovations.
Finally, there has been a lot of talk, but not much action, in regards to a strike by members of the Screen Actors Guild. After last years writer’s strike, many are wondering what’s going on. According to TV Guide’s Matt Roush all members are still working under the expired contract while SAG holds an election for seats on it’s national board. Whatever the outcome of that is, it may have some influence on whether or not a strike happens. But a vote will still have to be decided by the membership at large and it’s still unclear if a strike will be approved so close to the last one. So for the moment, it’s wait and see. This blogger is hoping for the best.
