Fresh Links: Things Looking Up For Medium

Things are looking up for NBC’s moderate hit and one of my favorite shows, Medium. They still have not announced if the show is getting picked up or not, for a fourth season, however NBC has ordered six more scripts, which is a good sign.

What in the world has happened to Vince Vaughn? He used to be so damn sexy, and used to have a really hot body. Remember Clay Pigeons? Now he looks like one of the Marlboro Man’s inbred grandchildren.

Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are returning for the prequel to The DaVinci Code, called Angels and Demons. DaVinci earned nearly 800 million dollars worldwide, so I’m sure both are going to see a pretty penny come paycheck time.

In yet another odd comic book movie casting choice, Avi Arad has revealed that Edward Norton will be playing Bruce Banner, better known as The Incredible Hulk in the next installment of the franchise. Hopefully it’s a lot better than that horrible film with Jennifer Connelly and Eric Bana.

Lots of A-Listers, and even more C-Listers turned out for the recent GLAAD Media Awards, including Jennifer Aniston, who for whatever reason received an award, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Hudson, and Patti LaBelle.

Pink tells Jimmy Kimmel she wants to make sure President Bush hears her song Dear Mr. President completely uncensored. And she thinks he may even respond with a song of his own. Through Eminem.

After nearly a decade, thanks to Ted Kennedy, the Hate Crimes Prevention Act–originally introduced in 1999 might finally get passed. With a Democratically controlled congress, and Judy Shepard’s (Matthew Shepard’s mother) support, maybe now we can get federal protection for gay people from vicious hate crimes.

Anika Noni Rose will be voicing the lead role in Disney’s upcoming animated feature The Frog Princess, in what will be historic as the first Disney film to have an African-American princess. Rose reportedly beat Tyra Banks, Alicia Keys, and Jennifer Hudson for the role.
