wear me like a locket around your throat

my aunt's all, "So, you like David Cook?" and the woman's all, "Oh yeah! I went to high school with him and then later one of my sorority sister kind of dated him for a little bit." "Oh really!" "Yeah, I've seen him with his old band a couple of times and once with the other. He's really talented, and a nice guy. Also, really good in bed, apparently."

Now that Karyn Kusama is on board to direct Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody's follow-up to Juno, casting is beginning in earnest. Luckily we have a source close to the production who has told us who is being looked at for some major roles in the film.

The lead role of Needy, the Buffy of the piece, if you will, is being offered to Amanda Seyfried, Big Love's Sarah. That's not a done deal, but with nothing on her IMDB after the upcoming Mamma Mia!, I imagine Seyfried will be happy to take the role.

More interesting, perhaps, are two names that are being bandied about for Nikolai; he's the leader of the Satanic emo band that starts all of the problems that turns Needy into an ass-kicking monster fighter. The production is looking at - Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.

Isaiah Washington has entered a treatment facility. This is what sources connected to ABC and Touchstone have confirmed to me, after Life & Style magazine broke the story about an hour ago.

According to my ABC sources, one of the options the higher-ups at ABC/Disney had been considering was to release Washington from the cast of Grey's Anatomy, without giving him a farewell episode. However, I'm told by an insider that Washington agreed to do "whatever it takes" to keep his position at Grey's and to make amends with the gay and lesbian community. He also vowed to seek help for his psychological issues—hence, his entry into a treatment facility this morning.
