Tom's frustration
Tom Selleck has told of his frustration at the misfiring Magnum movie. The actor is desperate to reprise his role as the Hawaiian private investigator in a big-screen reunion of the original Eighties cast. “It is frustrating,” says Selleck, 65. “I had Tom Clancy on board, who was a huge Magnum fan, and Universal, at the time, who were the only people who could do it. That was mid-‘90s. I keep hearing talk of it now, but I don't think they want me in it. But everybody sees me in it from the response I get. They'll either make it or they won't. I just hope that, if they make it, they pay homage to it, and not trivialise it and make fun of it, like they do in so many television remakes.”
Jesse can't face Facebook
T he Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg is not nearly as sociable in real life as he is on screen. The 26-year-old actor takes a leading role alongside Justin Timberlake in the hit movie about the birth of Facebook, but he can't stand the website in real life. “I'm not on Facebook at all,” says Jesse. “I did sign up for the first day of rehearsal so I could understand what my character was talking about, but that was it. Within a few days, I was getting messages from people I hadn't spoken to in years. Even my mother joined. She's 57 and got back in touch with a friend from camp when she was 10. So I can understand why people are on it now and appreciate what an incredible tool it is but it's not for me.”
Feeling at home
New Desperate Housewife Vanessa Williams is already feeling quite at home on Wisteria Lane. The former model and singer has jumped from ‘Ugly Betty' to ‘Desperate Housewives' with so little trouble that even she's surprised. “It's been amazing,” says Vanessa on working with Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria Parker and co. “When you do an ensemble piece like this on a weekly basis, it becomes family and that's what we are now. It makes it fun coming to work every day.”
New Big Boss for Glee?
Bruce Springsteen is planning to jump on the ‘Glee' bandwagon by making a cameo appearance on the hit show as Finn Hudson's uncle. Show insiders have revealed The Boss is in talks to appear in the show where his hits, including ‘Born in the USA', ‘Dancing in the Dark' and ‘Born to Run', would be performed by members of the McKinley High School show choir. The Springsteen-themed episode would follow ‘Glee' tributes to the music of Madonna, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. “Bruce is such an all-American icon we thought it would be great to get him on board. His music is loved by everyone and it has such potential to fit into the show,” a source revealed. “The idea is he would have duets with Cory Monteith [Finn] and Lea Michele [Rachel Berry] too. Bruce is part of American culture — he would be perfect. The ‘Glee' versions of Journey's songs have been a real hit and we just know Bruce's songs would go down a storm too.”
Emma's dream
Hollywood beauty Emma Roberts has told how she almost gave up movies for law. Emma, the niece of Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts, says she was tempted to give up her acting dream after watching Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde . “I did have a moment of wanting to be a lawyer after seeing Legally Blonde ,” says Emma. “I was really serious about it, but then I decided maybe I'll just play one, one day, because that would be a lot less work. I also quite liked the idea of being a writer or a fashion designer, but I think it's best I stick to acting.”
