Actress Sarah Paulson ("Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip" and "Down With Love") will play Ellen Dolan in the upcoming "Spirit" movie.

Effort to remake "The Prisoner" starring Colin Eccleson ("Doctor Who") have fallen by the wayside--just like all of the many previous attempts to resurrect the cult series.
Eccleston's involvement was probably no more than the wishful thinking of Sky One executives. He wouldn't have been a bad choice, although having quit Doctor Who for fear of typecasting, he's unlikely to jump straight into The Prisoner. Daniel Craig would be my Number Six, although of course Craig is now Bonded for the foreseeable future. The link between Bond and Number Six has a good pedigree, by the way. McGoohan, who played a similar sort of secret agent character in ITV's Danger Man, twice turned down the role of 007, Bond's bed-hopping ways being anathema to the sexual morals of the fiercely monogamous star.

The reunited Sex Pistols will play three shows in London.
To coincide with the Sex Pistols reunion, music paper NME.COM said it had started a campaign to propel their song "God Save The Queen" to the top of the charts when it is reissued on seven-inch vinyl in October.
It says the single, banned by radio stations in 1977 because it risked offending the monarchy during the Queen's Jubilee year, was unfairly denied the top spot.
