The rumour is that she'll be playing either Leslie Thompkins, or a similarly-written character. Leslie was a medical doctor who knew Batman's secret identity and who would help him out by tending to his wounds, relaying the word on the street to him, that sort of thing. Supposedly, the other two are going to be playing non-canon characters.

20,000 posts under BZ! Which of course only works as a Jules Verne joke if you read it with an American 'zee' instead of a British 'zed'. I'll report myself for getting off-topic in a minute, but for now, congratulations Katchi and keep the posts coming!

Terribly sad news about Tito Vilanova this evening. RIP.

That is flipping awesome. Thanks Jennka!

Guess I was too slow on this one, it appears to have been resolved already. And it's Sasha Luss in the avatar.

This post, quoted from another thread, should give you all the info you need...

I hope Elizabeth and Aaron haven't made Mark angry, because they wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Jools show second week: Paolo Nutini, Royal Blood (never seen that effect with the bass before ), Joan as Police Woman, Lucius, Neil Finn.

This one's a bit of a ripper too, from Vancouver punk band White Lung.

Here's one of the four recently released tracks from post-Mars Volta project Antemasque. For some reason, they've decided not to call it The Mars Volta, despite the music being very much in the same vein and Omar and Cedric supposedly being the only official members of the band. http://youtu.be/1dvNFy9Qapk

Is it just me or did Jose's latest stroke of 'tactical genius' play right into Simeone's hands on Tuesday evening? The Chelsea-Atletico return leg will now require both teams to score, only Atletico will have the luxury of receiving better value for their goals against a more expansive Chelsea side shorn of their best defensive players. Also, Bayern really blew it last night. Not taking shots from distance when you have the likes of Schweinsteiger, Robben and Kroos at your disposal is bordering on criminal.

I might have known Shearer would get in on the act.

The number of 180-degree turns I've seen in the media today has made my head spin, but a 'closed shop' arrangement between two Glaswegians was always going to be out of step with the rest of the footballing world. It's highly unlikely that we'll ever see a managerial appointment like it again.

If I was going to be super pedantic (and why wouldn't I, I'm a Marvel fan with access to the internet), I'd say I'm still not overly keen on the sleeveless look for Hawkeye. It's a massive improvement on what he wore last time, though.

The third and final trailer has been revealed.

I could see Fox delaying DOFP by a week or two so they can redo the credits, and replace Singer's name with Alan Smithee. Or alternatively, if they really wanted to troll everyone, put in Brett Ratner instead.

Wolf Alice are still doing the loud-quiet-loud thing rather brilliantly. http://youtu.be/YmJHjNk0ecc

Got another one from Woman's Hour to share. Looking forward to the album.

Looks like the topic was recently merged with a duplicate one, which can occasionally throw a spanner in the works, as it were. I'll send it back to the actresses' section. Actually it had always been in the models section Would you say she's primarily known for acting or modelling these days? I can quite easily move it again if need be. Well, in the last year or so, she does seem to be focusing more on acting, but she does still model as well (and continues to be represented by Ford Models). And if you look at her thread, most of the posts are related to her modeling. Okay, I've sent Ginny back to 'Fashion Models'. :Dinah: We can review it if acting becomes her main focus in the future.

That old chestnut of players not knowing what their jobs are was never more apparent than at Goodison yesterday, Phil Jones even thought he was playing in goal.

I hadn't thought about that bit in such a long time. Before thinking better of it, I actually considered Zinglebert Bembledack as a potential BZ username.

I'm not sure if we have any official rules that specifically cover the unnecessary bumping of topics, but I can tell you that it's not something we're particularly fond of. Let me look into it.
