Busy Sir Ben Kingsley is at his best in "Elegy"
Sir Ben Kingsley is everywhere this summer. The Oscar-winning worker turned up as a cross-eyed guru in Mike Myers' "The Love Guru," as an unreliable mentor to a young pot dealer in "The Wackness" and as an unscrupulous Russian police detective in the film-festival ingress "Transsiberian."
The 2008 role for which he is about likely to be remembered, however, is David Kepesh, a literature professor wHO becomes increasingly infatuated with his beautiful and a great deal younger scholar, Consuela (Pen�lope Cruz).
The movie is "Elegy" (opening at the Seven Gables Friday and more widely Aug. 22 ). It's based on a Philip Roth novella ("The Dying Animal") and, if properly marketed, it could garner Kingsley a fifth Academy Award nomination. When he visited the Seattle International Film Festival in May, he aforesaid he'd seldom played a more vulnerable character.
"The degree of exposure of my character was daunting, just I felt secure enough in my own life to do it," aforesaid the 64-year-old actor. "His journey, this very enounce terror of intimacy, real appealed to me."
He sees the film as "a parable for men and women. Don't give up, because there's a very strong possibility that the intimate

Matthew Mcconaughey - Mcconaughey Robbed In Nicaragua
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY lost more than his flip-flops during a recent surfing trip to Nicaragua - thieves made off with his cellphone and $2,000 (GBP1,000) in cash.
The movie star was reportedly carried home drunk from a bar in San Juan Del Sur after standing on tables asking patrons to help him find his missing flip-flops - and then allegedly passing out.
His bar pals took him back to his hotel room and put him to bed but left his door wide open when they left to go home - and that's when opportunists struck, according to sources.
An insider tells America's Star magazine, "Matt was so out of it when they reached the resort that the two guys had to carry him to his villa. They used his key, took him inside and put him to bed, then left - but they left the door unlocked.
"Matt didn't report the robbery to the local authorities. I guess he just considered it a lesson learned."

Angelina Jolie says being pregnant is great for the sex life
NEW YORK - Angelina Jolie says being pregnant has its perks.
"It's great for the sex life," she tells Entertainment Weekly magazine. "It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."
Jolie, who's expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and partner Brad Pitt already have four children - Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh - ranging in age from six to two.
When asked how she and Pitt plan to handle six young children, the 33-year-old actress says: "We really don't know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And, fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we're going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can."
Jolie says the couple want to make sure their older children feel included after the babies are born.
"They're old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We're trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing," she says.
How do Jolie and Pitt, 44, define their relationship?
"We have that problem all the time," she says. "I say 'partner' sometimes. 'Father of my children' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, 'So, your wife this, your husband that.' We've stopped correcting everybody.' "
Jolie, who has two upcoming films, "Wanted" and "Changeling," continues to draw strong reactions from the public, which she sees as a good thing.
"That some people support me and some people really don't like me tells me that I'm making decisions and I'm standing strong for something I believe in. I'm making choices in life. And that's the right thing to do."

J.Lo To Design New Line
Just three months after the Feb. 22 birth of her twins, Max and Emme, Jennifer Lopez was already back in fighting form. Now it seems her post-baby body may have inspired a new venture. The former Fly Girl, 38, is returning to her dance roots and creating a line of exercise clothing!
Friends of the entertainer-turned-designer tell OK! J.Lo has been sketching a moderately priced range to add to her fashion empire, which already includes the J.Lo, Sweetface and JustSweet brands. �She has some street gear already in her lines, but she wants something exclusively for sneakers, yoga pants and dance gear,� a J.Lo insider tells OK!.
�She wants it to look great in the gym and in the street, and to be affordable and functional.�
Look out for the designs on her new TLC documentary series, in which viewers can watch J.Lo and hubby Marc Anthony, 39, juggle showbiz and parenthood. But for now, as they tackle the task without a nanny, the diva is in full �mommy mode,� and loving it, says Marc.

Chuck Berry snubs John McCain
This morning, let us start with politics. Katie White from the Tings Tings is about to begin her second day on the roof of the Houses of Parliament protesting at the government's proposals to extend detention without charge for terrorist suspects from 28 to 42 days.
Actually, she isn't. And neither is Liam Fray from out of the Courteneers blockading a Shell station in Levenshulme in protest at rising petrol prices. No such things are happening, because Britain is a politically apathetic country concerned with nothing more than where the next Rustler microwaveable burger is coming from.
In the US, however, the climate is different. Pop stars are speaking out daily on matters of import to the nation; specifically, just which song Republican presidential candidate John McCain should have as his campaign anthem.
After months of abortive attempts at finding a tune to sum up his renegade, geriatric bid for the White House, and finding that none of the artists asked wanted to their music to be associated with him, McCain recently plumped for Chuck Berry's iconic Johnny B Goode, mainly because it has the chorus "Go Johnny Go Go Go" in it. The imagery about living in a house "made of herbs and wood" was less important.
When asked why he had chosen Johnny B Goode, the Independent reports, McCain replied: "It might be because it is the only one [the artist] hasn't complained about us using."
Technically this is true, but Berry - now 81 and still black - will not be voting for the party that left New Orleans to rot. Instead, he's quite keen on that Obama fellow.
"America has finally come to this point where you can pick a man of colour and that not be a drawback," Berry told the Indy. "In the Fifties there were certain places we couldn't ride on the bus, and now there is a possibility of a black man being in the White House.
"It's no question, myself being a man of colour. I mean, you have to feel good about it."
And if Chuck manages to get some performance royalties from each and every McCain rally for the rest of the year, he'd have a double reason to feel good.
In one of the least surprising revelations of recent years, Pete Doherty thinks he's Jesus. Or rather, some artist or other does and, in a fit of genuine creative inspiration, he's building a statue of Pete on a crucifix. He's also busy sending pictures of the whole process to Smart Gordon.
Explains Gordo: "Pete Doherty has commissioned a sculpture of himself on a cross showing him being tortured while surrounded by newspaper cuttings for a solo show in London."
Nick Reynolds, the artist involved in the whole procedure, was on hand to clarify the deep and subtle subtext to the work: "I was quite pally with Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates and their love affair - like Pete and KATE's [MOSS] - went a bit sour. The negative Press [sic] put a downward spiral on them.
"And when I saw the Press that Pete was getting, it made me think of them. I saw the same pattern. As if Pete was being crucified by the Press."
The fact that Reynolds is discussing all this in the press with a journalist is, naturally, not lost on Smart Gordon.
"Whatever you say, pal", he writes. "The exclusive behind-the-scenes pictures above of Pete's plaster session were given to me - for a bit of publicity.
"Er, just a minute. Any slight contradiction here, Mr Doherty?"
Let's hope Pete didn't get any cash for those pics either, Mr Gordon.
First there was that Daft Punk homage on YouTube. Then there was the Mystery Jets promo that had them chatting. Now, finally, the creative use of fingers in pop videos appears to have hit the tipping point after Kanye West not only made his digits dance but dressed them up in trainers too.
Kim Dawson of Kim Dawson's Playlist has the scoop: "Kanye West dressed up his digits in mini trousers and trainers to strut his stuff in the vid for Pro Nails, the debut single from his hot new singing discovery Kid Sister."
Kid Sister, it has to be said, is generally rubbish, but she's obviously been bowled over by the sheer talent in Kanye's fingers.
"I didn't have the skill to make my fingers dance in the video but Kanye got right in there. He made it look like they were break-dancing. He's an inspirational guy."
Oh yes he is. So inspirational, in fact, that In the News is going to take the rest of the day off and practice some electric finger boogaloo.

Week in Review: Mysterious Wheels! Surprise Witnesses! Jean-Claude Van Damme!
Looking back on a week just full of humdingers...
Sure, Locke left for a weekend out, Ben moved the island, and Kate got a mysterious phone call from a person who could talk backward — but last night's Lost finale seems downright explicable compared to what else happened this week:
Jean-Claude Van Damme made the best film of 2008. A bunch of Internet spoilers turned out to be completely accurate. Uwe Boll actually kept his mouth shut for once. Hollywood discovered the world's only non-annoying child actor. We exposed Lost as the Deal or No Deal ripoff that it truly is. The threesome testimony in R. Kelly's child pornography trial was delayed when a threesome-debunking surprise witness materialized! Also, prosecutors somehow managed to track down the one guy who doesn't believe that Kellz's image was added to that sex tape using CGI.
A bunch of actors from The Wire got jobs. "Y.M.C.A." was revealed as pretty much the most heterosexual song of all time. Mena Suvari was cast as a black person. Some aberrant straight dudes expressed a reluctance to go see the Sex and the City movie in the theater. Salon, claiming to have read our blog, published an erroneous Internet report accusing us of not loving ScarJo's album. Blockbuster video unveiled a new business plan inconsistent with their reputation as a company on the bleeding edge of technology. Al Gore is writing an opera. Some crazy person purported to have found flaws in Ben Silverman's work ethic.
Poo-fearing opera fans were shocked by the discovery of mouse dooty at the Met. Will a book about barnacle penises be this year's Marley and Me? (Yes.) The Watchmen movie will be like nine hours long. Also, a video game actually taught us how to do something. Coldplay's new album was declared better than the Bible, and the Hold Steady album was declared pretty much just another Hold Steady album.

Polanski victim wants case closed but no prison
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oscar-winning movie director Roman Polanski should not have to serve time in prison for unlawfully having sex with a 13-year-old girl 30 years ago, the victim now says.
The French-Polish filmmaker fled the United States to France in 1978 before he was sentenced and Samantha Geimer, now 45 years old with three sons, said in an interview she wants the case resolved.
"I don't think he's a danger to society," said Geimer, who settled a confidential civil suit with Polanski more than 10 years ago. "I don't think he needs to be locked up forever and no one has ever come out ever besides me and accused him of anything."
A documentary, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and will air on U.S. cable channel HBO on Monday, throws the spotlight on the case.
"It was all so overwhelming," said Geimer, who lives in Hawaii and works as a personal assistant and bookkeeper. "I think we just wanted it to be over and sending him to jail was not going to help it be over.
"What happened that night, it's hard to believe, but it paled in comparison to what happened to me in the next year of my life," she said of the media frenzy surrounding the trial, adding that she was relieved when Polanski fled because the media attention died down.
The filmmaker, now 74, was charged with several counts, including rape by use of drugs, but in a deal pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor, a crime committed during a photo session with Geimer. He bolted to France, where he is a citizen and cannot be extradited by the United States, before he was sentenced.
