Coughlin's Law: Don't Knock Up Katie Holmes

Apparently NBC will be airing a remake of The Poseidon Adventure in November. What was wrong with the original? Also, it'll be starring Bryan Brown of the FX movies, though he is perhaps best known for playing the role of Doug Coughlin in Cocktail with Tom Cruise (rumor has it, and this is extememly hush-hush as Tom Cruise is notoriously private, that Mr. Cruise is possibly dating Katie Holmes, and she may be pregnant, but the media has largely ignored this and the reticence of the stars to publicize it has led to a real absence of info. Wouldn't that be weird? Here's how that joke could have gone: does anyone know if Tom Cruise is dating anyone, and if so, who SHE is? Also, Scientology cures dyslexia and depression! No we can all get on with our lives! Oh wait, maybe it was vitamins? THESE JOKES ARE SO FRESH AND TOPICAL).

For those of you out there familiar with Cocktail, I offer Coughlin's Law:

Never remake The Poseidon Adventure unless Shelley Winters is in it again. Oh, and Roddy MacDowell. He had such a hot, foppish british accent, especially when he was screaming and dying in the movie. Sexy.

Also, I know I totally rag on Vincent D'Onofrio, but he looks particularly *cute* in this episode of L&O:CI. I like when he's interrogating someone and he stands up, backs away a little bit, sort of half bends over and looks at the person upside down, literally looking at him or her from a different angle. He's so dark and cunning. Rarrrr....2die4. I totally agree with him about pornography in the workplace. JK. What a weirdo. Still hot, though.
