The Bed List/The Dinner List

BED LIST: JAMES MARSDEN



You gotta like a guy willing to play straight man to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. James Marsden is one interesting X-Man. It's too bad that he keeps getting cast as the great guy who doesn't get the girl, though: he's on the losing end of romance in X-Men, The Notebook, and Superman. Methinks it's time he got top billing.

DINNER LIST: SUMNER REDSTONE



This week's "He did what?" moment belongs to Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone, the only octogenarian with the set big enough to take on Tom Cruise. Basically, he showed Mr. Katie Holmes the front gate of the Paramount lot and severed a multi-year, multi-million-dollar association because he wasn't too happy with how Tom's more whacko pronouncements (Scientology, mano a mano with Brooke Shields over postpartum depression, "Sorry to destroy your sofa there, Oprah, but I love this womaaaaaaaan!!") made his studio look. (Too bad we can't convince major college athletic programs to do the same for out-of-control scholarship athletes.) Yep, I'd buy him dinner.
