Since getting an iPad my morning routine has included reading [...]

Elizabeth Olsen (a.k.a Lizzie Holsen), the third Olsen sister, is emerging as the new Hollywood It Girl according to a recent Nylon magazine interview. What sets her apart from her business-savvy, television-star sisters, is her love of, and early involvement in, theatre. An actor who comes from a theatre background is going to have a broader frame of reference, and overall be better, than one who does not. Olsen recently appeared in two Sundance movies, Silent house and Martha Marcy May Marlene, which was reviewed in Friday's edition.

Jonah Hill is barely recognizable. Gone is the jew-fro, the skater shorts and the rub-me-please belly. Is Jonah Hill ready for his Paris Match close-up?

In other words, a very tortured individual and one of the rare--if not the only one--thespians alive nowadays who sports a very respectable beard (he probably belongs to one of those beard societies).

Rainn Wilson, a.k.a Dwight Schrute from The Office, gets two thumbs up from me for his funny and acerbic tweets. He recently commented the return to the tweetosphere of Ricky Gervais, who headlined the original Office series in England. Gervais is back to tweeting with a vengeance. None of the Screen Comment team of fact-checkers could figure out why Gervais retired his Twitter account, or why he came back for that matter, but here's what Gervais has been tweeting:
