DJ A.M. in Iron Man 2

Want an unsettling reminder of just how long ago Iron Man 2 completed principal photography? According to the LAT , it comes in a scene where the deceased DJ A.M. is spotted manning the turntables. “”We tried to make it respectful, and for people who know him, they’ll get a kick out of it and for people who don’t, it will sort of slide by without much notice,” said director Jon Favreau, who dedicated the film to A.M. in the closing credits.

Which Star is Coming Out as Gay?

Looks like someone wants a little of Michael Musto’s blind item action . Zap2it reports that on May 5, a celebrity will come out on the cover of People before embarking on a talk show blitz orchestrated by PR man Howard Bragman. That says to me “washed-up second lead on an 80’s sitcom,” or “the one nobody remembers from Nick Lachey’s boyband,” but who are your guesses? [ Zap2It ]

Time will tell, but my guess is they’ll learn that once you “make it” in the world of fashion design, you still have to face down mentors who instruct you to redo everything . [ THR ]

What Leonard Nimoy’s Retirement Means to Fringe

Unless you’re a giant nerd, you might not have noticed that Leonard Nimoy announced that he’s retiring from acting: “I’ve been doing this professionally for 60 years. I love the idea of going out on a positive note.” The positive note he refers to is J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek , a film series that he’ll have no problem detaching from — after all, one Spock is really enough. But what of Nimoy’s other Abrams enterprise, Fringe ? That’s where things get more complicated.
