“Forget the face you saw in the tabloids”

Fingers crossed for a stellar premiere for Mr. Sunshine tonight on ABC. The show stars Mathew Perry as manager of a San Diego sports arena owned by an out of control woman played by Allison Janney.  Janney had us in stitches the other day talking about her role as Matthew’s boss, Crystal.

JANNEY SLAPPED MATTHEW PERRY FOR THE HECK OF IT:

“That was one of the funniest moments I’ve ever had.  It wasn’t in the script that Crystal slaps him.  His character was doing something that made me think, ‘That’s just wrong.  I’m going to slap him.’

He just stopped, and he was like ‘You just slapped me.  You just slapped me!  Why did you slap me?’  He was so shocked and I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know.  I just felt like Crystal would slap you.’  Everyone laughed.

So, now he’s always slightly nervous working with me.  He’s got that look in his eye of, ‘Oh, my God, what are you going to do?’  Sometimes I don’t know what I’m going to do either.”

ALLISON DOES WACKY WONDERFULLY:

“Crystal’s that kind of person who screams in church or does things that can be just so deliciously wrong.  I wish I would be that kind of person who would just like get up and leave because I’m bored right now.  You know, just be honest and say whatever’s on her mind.  I love the possibilities of her that way.”

Leighton Meester had fun being evil in The Roommate, but when it came to getting passionate with co-star Cam Gigandet she got left out. Minka Kelly, who has a lot of fans from Friday Night Lights, got to lock lips with the sexy guy from Twilight. And I found out they had a game plan for their big smooch.

Cam: “I’ve learned to, you know, to be as patient as possible and to not have any grey areas when you begin a scene like that. You don’t want to be the actor that starts to push things, and push another actor into certain unpleasant areas.”

Leave it to a guy to be a little evasive about kissing. Minka didn’t beat around the bush.

Minka: “No Tongue, don’t you know. Also be respectful of each others space really. We just did what we had to do.”

Does that sound romantic or what?

Rupert Grint has held his own opposite Daniel Radcliffe, even though he’s been in the shadow of Harry Potter as the ever-faithful Ron Weasely.

Now, Grint gets a chance to go head-to-head with Radcliffe in some heavy drama in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. Grint told Parade’s Jeanne Wolf the surprises in store as the series of blockbuster films finally reaches the end.

“You see a different side to…”

The answer is: Mark Wahlberg.

Six Golden Globe nominations for his film, “The Fighter.” Plus, Mark got a best actor nod.

And that’s not all…

Many people don’t realize that Wahlberg put together the HBO TV drama series, “Boardwalk Empire” which received three golden nominations.

Earlier this week the American Film Institute named “The Fighter” one of the ten best films of the year and “Boardwalk Empire” one of the top ten TV shows.

What else is making him smile?

See the cover of “Sports Illustrated” and Mark in his satin boxers. OK, I mean boxing trunks. Though he promised never to appear in just his Calvins again, Mark had to show off his new bod which he sculpted just for his star turn as Welterweight Champion Mickey Ward.

Congrats Mark. And excuse us if we whistle too.
