Jeanne Tripplehorn will star in the indie feature "Morning," which will mark the directorial debut of her husband, Leland Orser, who wrote the original screenplay.

Laura Linney also is joining the cast, which includes Elliott Gould, Kyle Chandler, Julie White, Jason Ritter, Charlie McDermott and Orser.

In the film, Tripplehorn will play a mother mourning the loss of her child, while Linney will appear as a grief counselor.

Todd Traina and Minor Childers are producing through their Red Rover Films with Fries Film Group, whose principals, Jon Fries and Charles Fries, will serve as exec producers.

The feature was developed from a short Orser wrote and directed.

Principal photography will begin this month in Los Angeles.

Linney is repped by ICM and Brillstein Entertainment. Tripplehorn is repped by Gersh and Brillstein. Orser is repped by Gersh and the Burnstein Co.

"Television is a medium because anything well done is rare."

*Beverly Hills 90210 (1990) - too spiffy
*Dawson's Creek (1998) - too lame
*Degrassi Junior High (1987) - too low-profile
*Saved By The Bell (1989) - too stupid
The O.C. (2003) - too expensive!
*Time Of Your Life (1988) - too sad

This is it! I'd love walking the halls of Kennedy High. But with which group: Cheerleaders or Wannabes? Blondes or Brunettes? Each of them has their own pros and cons... For sure I wouldn't be part of the Chess Club (even though I'd have a secret crush on Freddie Gong). OK, I've made up my mind: I would be Nicole's right-hand man --well, girl. You know, I'd do anything to be popular. Ennything! ;)

Cook? Fried egg is one of my specialties. Caprese salad also.

Does bread & Nutella counts? ;)

ROME, Italy (AP) -- What's in a name? For parents in Italy who name their children after Second World War Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini or his wife Rachele, it could be €1,500 ($1,900). The Fiamma Tricolore party is offering the money to parents in five southern Italian villages who name their children Benito or Rachele.

Party official Vincenzo Mancusi says "they are nice names."

He says the initiative is a way to pay homage to the roots of his movement and keep alive names that are hardly ever used. Mancusi said Tuesday the bonus applies to five villages in the Basilicata region where birth rates are especially low. Designed as an incentive, it applies to babies who are born in 2009.

Mancusi said the cash should be used to buy clothes or other items for the child.

... WTF!?!?

Hehe... easiest question ever! :)

It would be County General in Chicago, and I would need an urgent surgical consult performed by the current Chief of Surgery, Dr Lucien Dubenko. Of course I would result non-surgical matter and totally healthy, but the curly-haired (I hope at that time he'd be curly-haired and not displaying the haircut from hell he's showing lately) surgeon would recognize in me the perfect companion for life, the one he's been looking for, until now, in all the wrong directions.

And we lived happily thereafter. That's pretty much it! ;)
