| Not to be outdone by newfound reality show ex Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and his publicist have had quite a weekend. Word has leaked out that the recovering boy band musician will follow up his theatrical debut in Edison with a part in Shrek 3. It seems that Timberlake has leveraged his relationship with Cameron Diaz into a key part in the billion dollar franchise. But that's not the only thing of Diaz's that Kid *NSYNC is taking. The duo are rumored to be marrying over the weekend, cementing their status as the It beard couple of the moment despite a couple of recent attempts by Tom Cruise to steal the title. |

Desperate Housewives made most of its news this weekend when First Lady Laura Bush cracked wise at the White House Correspondents Dinner about her lacking sex life. But while this story has been getting all of the headlines, Desperate Housewives actress and BOP fave Felicity Huffman was making news of her own. The Sports Night heroine triumphed as Best Actress at the Tribeca Film Festival for her work in Transamerica. The showy role sees Huffman portraying a pre-op transsexual woman, and is now being described as potential Oscar bait. This would make her the first pre-op transsexual nominee since Russell Crowe. |
| Speaking of Oscar bait, 712-time nominee Meryl Streep has lined up a new project. The legendary screen icon will star in what Hollywood Reporter is describing as a "fashionista comedy" called The Devil Wears Prada. The film is an adaptation of former Vogue magazine employee Lauren Weisberger's novel of the same name. Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, is loosely based on Vogue editor Anna "Nuclear" Wintour, whose escapades as a nutter are legendary in print journalism circles. BOP looks forward to the Charlie Kaufman re-write of the adaptation, wherein the Priestly character inexplicably winds up making out with Chris Cooper in a swamp soon after their attempted murder of another character. It won't make any sense this time, either. |
