Spaced finally coming to DVD in the US
By Ryan Stewart

MTV's Movies blog reports that the English comedy Spaced, created by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (a/k/a the people behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) is finally coming to DVD on July 23 of this year. People have been begging for this for years.

By Ryan Stewart

Yep, that's Hugh Laurie

Here's what we like about Dr. House the character (and, by extension, the show) - it isn't just that he doesn't do what he's told, it's that he actively seeks out activities that are frowned upon in any profession, let alone medical. And he's brilliant. The fact that he can do drugs, steal, lie, manipulate, and generally act like an asshole to everyone and still succeed at his profession is oddly comforting.

By Sharon Steel
1. You flip your hair with knowing looks at the paps.
2. You quit your part-time job as an accessories buyer.
3. You take a job with designer Tom Ford.
4. You move to the States, where there's no shortage of wanna-be princesses.
5. You start dating a Prince of Malibu instead? Brody Jenner, I found you a new lady!
