1.28.00 The adventures of Keri Russell and Scott Speedman, and their looks-like-it's-true real life romance (maybe I should start a new column) are summed up in Ted Casablanca's post-Globe commentary -- the Golden Globes, that is. Click here for the awful truth.

1.28.00 In yet more Keri and Scott S. news, it looks like both are being considered for lead roles for the upcoming "Pearl Harbor" epic produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay. Their competition includes Charlize Theron (Keri's competition, anyway), Gene Hackman, Ed Burns, and some other people.

1.28.00 Janeane Garofalo, the voice of Felicity's unseen high school French tutor Sally (and the inner voice of the CSFWS's WDK, as well), is mentioned in an interesting article from Salon.com about her upcoming HBO series. Oh, and they mention Felicity a few times, too.

1.23.00 In the news: There is a behind-the-scenes type article on Felicity in the February issue of MXG (Brendan Fehr on the cover), and three (count 'em) reviews on, of course, the upcoming 'Twilight Zone' episode -- in the Los Angeles Times, the Jan. 7 issue of EW, and the New York Times. Overall, the episode has gotten pretty good reviews, and a whole heck of a lot of press (giving Keri's hair a run for its money, I'd say).

1.20.00 The Hairy Truth: apparently, the folks at the WB think that Keri Russell's hair is to blame for the decline in ratings, since a variety of shear-worthy articles have appeared in the last few days linking the cropped locks with the drops (sorry, I can't help it). They are, respectively, from the Houston Chronicle, a newspaper in Jacksonville (ed. note: this one's pretty good), and of course, TV Guide (which features a really cute picture of Keri Russell, by the way).

1.20.00 Scott Foley is in the latest issue of US magazine, in a short article describing his fear of scary movies (he'll appear in his first feature film, Scream 3, this February).
