Peter Sarsgaard on Conan and Nailed: 'Poignant, sarcastic and hilarious' - and unfinished

Big hugs are flying their way over to Stephanie from IHJ this evening, because she took pity on a Gyllenhaalic with no small affection for Peter Sarsgaard and capped Peter's appearance on Conan last night for me and all of us, especially for those of us who are on the very chilly side of the pond and would not have seen it otherwise. Now we can all hear about the 'brewing whiskey in the woods beard' that Peter proudly sports (Maggie likes it) and also how Peter prepares himself for show time (it involves a two-headed robot and no shirt). So now Conan has sniffed Jake Gyllenhaal's beard and stroked Peter Sarsgaard's beard - whatever next... Thanks so much, Stephanie!



And while we're thinking about Peter, here is another video of the man himself signing autographs after a performance of the Seagull.



I got my December copy of Total Film today and, needless to say, I was thrilled to see Prince of Persia as one of its cover headlines. Here is the page from the magazine, demonstrating that this film will be watched closely by the movie and game worlds until it bursts upon us in May 2010 - can't come soon enough.


December's Total Film also features an interview with Jessica Biel and in it she discusses one of her more problematic movie projects - yep, that can be only Nailed. This is what the article, and Jessica, has to say: 'Shot over the summer, David O Russell's latest has been bogged down in a stop-start quagmire as its backers kept running out of cash. Biels says it would be 'tragic' if they can't finish - 'We only have three scenes left to shoot' - but even she's not sure. If Nailed does cross the finish line, we'll see Biel playing a blissfully air-headed, roller-skating waitress who gets a nail in her head and ends up prone to fits of shocking rage and 'crazy, aggressive sexual behaviour'.'


She becomes a nymphomaniac, then? 'Well, she'll start to get uncontrollably excited about, like, a lampost and then she races to... you know.' Biel says Nailed is 'poignant, sarcastic and hilarious' and that the famously intense O Russell has got 'incredible performances out of everybody, especially me.'' In a way I wish I hadn't heard this, because now I want to see Nailed more than ever (and if it's a choice between a lampost and immoral congressman Jake...).


And finally

Maggie's been out and about again - this time she attended the launch of the new Blackberry phone in NYC and she looked marvellous.
