David Duchovny to star in new Showtime series

I know we have a lot of Duchovny fans in tha house, so I thought you might be happy to know that he’s headed back to the small screen. He’ll play the lead character in a comedy that is scheduled to run alongside new episodes of Weeds this coming summer. Of course, he is best known for his work on X-Files, but producers of this new as-yet-untitled project say "anyone expecting Agent Mulder to resurface will be pleasantly surprised to see a completely fresh character who is deeply flawed yet funny, complicated and utterly human." Duchovny will play divorced writer Hank Moody, who “is addicted to women and has complicated relationships with two ladies he loves: his 16-year-old daughter and his ex-girlfriend (Natascha McElhone).” Did we mention that his daughter is an alien!!? Sorry, we can neither confirm nor deny that plot point just yet.

Scarlett Johansson to star in third Woody Allen movie

Not since Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow once ruled Woody Allen’s universe has the famously neurotic director collaborated with a single actress so often. Previously, Johansson worked with Allen on Match Point (2005) and Scoop (2006), and now she has been tapped once again for the director's next, untitled project, to begin shooting in Spain this summer. Johansson will join a cast that already includes Academy Award nominees Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem. No details of the plot have been released to date.

Happy Mondays to tour with new songs

The Happy Mondays, along with The Stone Roses, were at the forefront of the "Madchester" scene that dominated UK indie music in the late 80s and early 90s. And now they’re back! They plan to play a series of small-scale UK concerts to promote their first album of new material in 15 years. But first up is a date stateside at next month’s Coachella music festival in Indio, California.
