The Wit and Wisdom of Anna: Words to Live by from V’s Alien Overlord

Visitor High Commander Anna might be a charming diplomat by day and a conspiring, human-skin-coated reptile by night in ABC’ s V , but we’re beginning to realize she’s also sort of a modern-day Confucius, offering up such applicable gems as “deliver a villain and a hero will present itself.” Click through to read Anna’s maxim from Pound of Flesh that might as well fill your fortune cookie.

Uma Thurman’s Newest Indignity: Forced to Audition for Role Given to Winona Ryder

As far as I’m concerned, Uma Thurman earned her lifetime pass a long time ago: Pulp Fiction, Gattaca, Kill Bill , done, you’re enshrined in the pantheon, congrats all around. Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn’t feel the same way. On the heels of the weird glee people took when Thurman’s obscure indie Motherhood tanked in the U.K. (because how a film does in one British theater is now very important!) comes a dispiriting report from EW that mentions exactly how Thurman lost a role to Winona Ryder in Ron Howard’s upcoming Cheaters :

DWTS Beats Idol — Twice

Nielsen announced today that for the first time in either show’s history, Dancing With the Stars ‘ ratings last week vanquished those of both the Tuesday and Wednesday episodes of American Idol . It wasn’t especially close either: An estimated 23 million people watched DWTS a week ago, compared to a respective 21.8 million and 20.5 million viewers tuning into Idol . A rep for Nielsen attributed the aberration to “the Gosselin factor.” Hmm. Happy, Simon ? [ AP via Yahoo! ]

Whatever it is — I can’t believe what Katie Stevens tried to do with it. [ MTV ]

Is Madonna’s W.E. Just Julie & Julia Crossed With Marie Antoinette?

Perhaps! When reports surfaced that Madonna was planning to direct W.E. , from a twisty script co-written by the pop icon herself and Truth or Dare director Alek Keshishian, the first thing that sprang to mind — besides “whuck?” — was the structural similarities to Julie & Julia (though probably with more sex and less butter). After all, the film jumps between parallel narratives: one involving Edward the VIII (Ewan McGregor) and his abdication of the throne to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson (Vera Farmiga), and the other centering on a modern-day woman (Abbie Cornish) who is obsessed with all things Simpson. (Romance geeks or Neil LaBute superfans will also note quite a bit of similarities with the 2002 film, Possession .) But now comes word that Madge is also cribbing a device from Sofia Coppola…
