DarkUFO Character Cup: R1, Matchups 11 & 12

Is Joe Jonas Looking For Romance With Taylor Swift?

Has teen heartthrob and pop-sensation Joe Jonas just broken the hearts of young teenage girls around the world?

The rumor mill has been in over-drive that the oldest Jonas brother is becoming romantically linked to country singer Taylor Swift - and that Joe has been showing up at her concerts!

Joe, the oldest one-third of the teen boy band "The Jonas Brothers", arrived in disguise to Taylor's concert on Sunday night at West Palm Beach Cruzan Amphitheatre, People Magazine has reported. Though he tried to hide behind a disguise by wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses, Jonas was recognized when he showed up backstage near the soundboard where he was seen hanging out with Taylor's father.

Last week, Taylor, 18, filmed a cameo appearance for the "Jonas Brothers" upcoming 3-D movie, but Swift continues to tell reporters they're just friends. But various tabloids and photographers are saying they have seen the two songsters together multiple times - sometimes just hanging out and not in a professional work setting.

Taylor Swift has completed filming her spot in the upcoming Miley Cyrus movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie" due in theaters next year, and has been signed to appear in the romantic drama "I Will Wait for You... If It Takes Forever", also due next year.

Joe Jonas was recently seen in the Disney television hit "Camp Rock", and is currently working with his brothers filming the TV series "J.O.N.A.S", where the Jonas brothers travel the country in their rickety tour bus performing shows, but what the fans don't know is that the Jonas Brothers are actually J.O.N.A.S. - Junior Operatives Networking as Spies - who, along with their secret agent dad, are under assignment from a super-secret government agency out to fight evil.

Joe Jonas has also signed on to the television move sequel "Camp Rock 2", due next year starring the Jonas Brothers and newcomer Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres.

Chris Kattan Files For Separation From Wife Of Eight Weeks

Things sure do move fast in Hollywood sometimes.

Former Saturday Night Live funny man Chris Kattan and his new wife of eight weeks have filed for legal separation. The reason stated was irreconcilable differences, and, according to the petition there is a prenuptial agreement dated June 23, 2008.

No minor children are involved.

Kattan began dating Sunshine Tutt, 31, more then 3 years ago after meeting her at a birthday party. The couple married on June 28th of this year.

A representative for Kattan told reporters, "They've got issues they're trying to work out. It's not a divorce right now, but they are taking time apart."

Somehow we knew this one wouldn't last…

Kattan has no less then six movie projects underway for the 2008-2009 movie season.

First is "Tanner Hall" due later this year, about a vivid look into the private world of an all-girls boarding school. Also completed is the animated adventure comedy "Foodfight" starring Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Eva Longoria Parker and Christopher Lloyd, where chaos reigns supreme for the products in this grocery store when the lights are turned off and the doors are locked.

In production for 2009 is "Hard Breakers", a comedy centered on two single girls working the dating scene in Los Angeles. Also due next year is "Hollywood & Wine" starring Pamela Anderson, Vivica A. Fox, David Spade and Jeremy London - the story about mistaken identity and Hollywood backstabbing.

DarkUFO Character Cup: R1, Matchups 9 & 10

Congratulations to Rose and Alex for moving on to the next round. It seems that Rose v. Shannon finally provided us with a relatively close race. Shannon's elimination from the contest also means roughly a third of our bracketeers are now out of the running for that "perfect bracket" prize. But you're all still in the mix for the DVD set. There's still plenty of matchups to be had and it's not impossible to rebound from one wrong pick.

Rose: 59 % (selected on 66.7% of all brackets)
Shannon: 41 % (selected on 33.2% of all brackets)

Alex: 90% (selected on 92.6% of all brackets)
Bea: 10% (selected on 7.3% of all brackets)

The brackets site has been updated, so if you're taking part in the madness, check and see how you stand. After the first 8 matchups, 700 people are still tied for first place, including me. How long will that last?

Today's matchups don't feature anything quite as close as yesterday. In match #1 today we see a long-lost love take on one of the Oceanic 6. Match #2 is a battle between two mercenaries. Who will rule the roost today? You tell us.



Noor Abed “Nadia” Jazeem
A childhood friend and eventual love interest of Sayid, Nadia grew up in Iraq. As a young adult she acted as an insurgent against Saddam Hussein’s regime and was taken prisoner. She was freed by Sayid and disappeared. She popped up in London, where she was saved from a mugger by Charlie Pace, and also in California, where John Locke inspected her home. Upon the return of the Oceanic 6, Nadia sought out and was reunited with Sayid. They were married and happy for some time, but she was eventually murdered in Los Angeles by an employee of Charles Widmore.

Hugo “Hurley” Reyes
One-time psych ward patient and fast food clerk, Hurley won a huge sum of money by playing the lottery with numbers he picked up from his time in the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. He came to believe his money was cursed though. After surviving the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, the Numbers seemed to follow him. He seemed to have broken his curse and found a sense of belonging with the survivors. He is a member of the Oceanic 6 and was readmitted to Santa Rosa not long after returning home. He was last seen breaking out of Santa Rosa with help from Sayid.


Martin Keamy
A former soldier with a laundry list of questionable mercenary employments, Keamy was hired by Charles Widmore to find the Island, extract Ben Linus alive and kill everyone else. Keamy led an assault on the Barracks which led to the execution of Ben’s daughter and the deaths of several redshirts. Ben called the Smoke Monster, which chased Keamy and his team away. Keamy returned, wearing a dead man’s trigger connected to C4 explosive on the freighter. He made his way to the Orchid, where he was killed by Ben, causing the freighter to explode.

Omar
Seemingly Keamy’s right-hand man, Omar was a member of the assault team on board the freighter. Nothing his known about his past. He was part of the assault on the Barracks, which he survived, and helped attach the dead man’s trigger to Keamy on the freighter. When the team returned to the Island, they were ambushed by the Others. A grenade was thrown at Keamy, which he kicked away. It landed at Omar’s feet and he was killed when it exploded.

"Hamlet 2" Opens - See Early Review And Movie Trailer

"Hamlet 2", is a little movie that's getting big laughs. The film centers around a failed actor and failing high school drama teacher who thinks of himself as a playwright. Needless to say, he is the only one who thinks this way.

Plot: Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan), plays the failed, untalented actor, who also works as a drama teacher for a high school in a Tuscon, Arizona. When he finds out his much-loved drama department is going to be shut down, Marschz tries to save the day by creating and writing his own play - a sequel to Hamlet, featuring exotic time machines & a cameo by Jesus.

Review: From the first scene of the film, showing clips from Marschz not-so-successful early show business career, which included a herpes cream commercial and a small role on "Xena: Warrior Princess", to the ending credits, you will find a lot to laugh at in "Hamlet 2".

Coogan's character, Dana Marschz, is able to be both funny, and emotionally moving at times, as the character is able to show genuine sadness.

Marschz's scheme to save his failing drama department is to write and stage his own version of "Hamlet". His play is so completely over the top and bizarre, especially when he appears as Jesus Christ and performs a musical number called "Rock Me Sexy Jesus", that the faculty tries to stop the production.

The supporting cast is also convincing, especially Elizabeth Shue who portrays a caricature of herself, and also notable is Catherine Keener as Marschz nasty wife. Keener's got a real talent for comedy. David Arquette plays the couple's dim-witted house guest and also adds to the cast, and Amy Poehler plays an ACLU lawyer, with some really funny lines as well.

If you don't have anything to do next week you should plan on seeing "Hamlet 2". It is a harmless comedy that anyone can watch.
