**Angels in America will be extended.  A new cast will debut.  Ugly Betty's Michael Urie will play Prior Walter.

**What's wrong with crotch bulge?  Especially super hottie British bloke Andrew Garfield's!!  An entire day was WASTED on taking away Garfield's bulge for his Spiderman costume.  Why??  Producers want to de-masculinize him??  Give him camel toe?  Make him a gross snatch from the waist down?

**We are hearing chatter about a James Franco and Nicole Kidman team up.  The two would star in Sweet Bird of Youth by Tennessee Williams.  This would make a bow for Fall 2011.
