You might say what a pretty ginger haired lass that is, but that ain't a lass, that's the fresh Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne in the first photo from DANISH GIRL in which he plays painter Einar Wegener or Lili Elbe, one of the first people to ever undergo sex change surgery in 1930.

'SUITE FRANCAISE' POSTER
WITH MICHELLE WILLIAMS AND MATTHIAS SCHOENAERTS
The only thing I have for you today, beside the Oscars fashion report, is the new poster for WW2 drama SUITE FRANCAISE starring Michelle Williams, Matthias Schoenaerts, Margot Robbie, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lambert Wilson and Sam Riley. France, 1940. In the first days of occupation, beautiful Lucile Angellier is trapped in a stifled existence with her controlling mother in law as they both await news of her husband: a prisoner of war. Parisian refugees start to pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers' own homes. Lucile initially tries to ignore a handsome and refined German officer staying with them. But soon, a powerful love draws them together and leads them into the tragedy of war. The movie is out in Europe next month.


OSCARS 2015 FASHION REPORT
THE BEST DRESSED LADIES
So, people, tell me whom did you like best last evening at the OSCARS 2015 red carpet? Who do you think were the best dressed celebrities and who disappointed you with their lack of style? If you ask the spy, Jennifer Lopez was the star of the evening in her stunning Ellie Saab shimmering gown! Right next to her, would be gorgeous Chrissy Teigen in another of our fave designers Zuhair Murad! Jamie Chung was also beautiful!
THE LOVELY LADIES
Also looking lovely last night were Emma Stone and Channing Tatum's stunning wife Jenna Dewan, while Gwyneth Paltrow also looked fresh with a pink rose on her shoulder.
Ladies who didn't look bad, but didn't wow us either were Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana and Cate Blanchett who probably didn't want to outshine anyone.
LADIES IN RED
Red was one of the colours of the evening with Dakota Johnson, Rosamund Pike, Lady Gaga and Anna Kendrick opting for it!
THE WORST DRESSED LADIES
The worst dressed last night were the ladies who kinda looked shabby, tacky or cheap in their clumsy outfits: Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Felisity Jones and Keira Knightley, while last night's big winner Julianne Moore had an extremely clumsy tailored sack over her :(

2015 SITCOM PILOTS: EDDIE CIBRIAN, DONALD FAISON, JOSH HOPKINS IN MONICA POTTER'S SITCOM! JOSH PECK IN JOHN STAMOS' FOX SITCOM! SKYLAR ASTIN IN ABC'S NBA SITCOM! THOMAS SADOSKI, COLIN HANKS, DIANNE WIEST IN 'LIFE IN PIECES'

MONICA POTTER'S SITCOM
EDDIE CIBRIAN, DONALD FAISON, JOSH HOPKINS AS EX HUSBANDS
We're in the middle of the casting season for future comedy pilots (the first episodes of possible new sitcoms) and the spy is bringing you the latest updates today on the stars who will take the roles in them. Definitely the most starstudded of them will be NBC's multi camera pilot (multi camera means with audience and laughter, single camera being without it) which is still untitled but I informed you previously that it will star Monica Potter as Bridget, a woman who juggles her busy family life as well as her three ex husbands, which proves to be difficult when she starts dating again. The names of her three husbands have been revealed: Eddie Cibrian will play Jason, Bridget’s first ex husband, a slick professional gambler. Donald Faison plays Bridget’s second ex husband, the very earnest Kevin, who is positive and upbeat at all times, and a staunch protector of the environment who is also “accidentally” extremely wealthy. Rory Scovel plays Robert, Bridget’s third ex husband. A pompous writer and college professor, Robert went to Harvard and can’t wait to let everyone know it. Josh Hopkins plays Tom, a veterinarian in the midst of mutual attraction with Bridget, an animal lover.

JOHN STAMOS' FOX SITCOM
CASTS JOSH PECK AS HIS SON
When it comes to Fox, according to 'Deadline', they have hired Josh Peck to lead the untitled new sitcom with John Stamos who plays Jimmy, a charismatic longtime bachelor whose life is upended when he discovers he’s a father — and a grandfather. Josh Peck will be the son Jimmy didn’t know he had – a sweet unemployed techie who is himself the proud and surprisingly capable father of a two-year-old daughter, the product of a one-night stand with the sexy Vanessa.

ABC'S NBA SITCOM PILOT
CASTS SKYLAR ASTIN AS LEAD
Another untitled comedy pilot, but at ABC, has cast Skylar Astin whose previous sitcom GROUND FLOOR has been cancelled. The new sitcom will be an NBA buddy comedy about an NBA rookie who doesn’t speak English and a translator who doesn’t speak basketball. Skylar Astin is the translator, Jason, a sweet and a little wimpy guy with no athletic prowess who is working as a teaching assistant and living in his parents’ basement when he is recruited by the NBA team. A munchkin among giants in the world of professional basketball, Jason soon discovers that he’s being paid to be a lot more than just a translator. He also must be the new player’s 24/7 guide, best friend, mentor and protector, and he also has to find a way to light a fire under this incredibly tall and talented athlete who seems to lack drive.

CBS'S 'LIFE IN PIECES' PILOT
THOMAS SADOSKI, COLIN HANKS, DIANNE WIEST, BETSY BRANDT
Over at CBS, one of their strongest new comedy pilots is LIFE IN PIECES about one family, the Shorts, as told through the separate stories of its different family members. Thomas Sadoski (THE NEWS ROOM) plays middle sibling Matt Short who can’t catch a break, the most recent being a failed career that has forced him back home with his parents. Colin Hanks and Betsy Brandt will play the other two siblings, while legendary Dianne Wiest will appear as their mother who adores her family and would do absolutely anything for them — as long she agrees with it. Zoe Lister Jones (FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES) plays Greg Short’s (Hanks) wife Jen, a woman used to being in control who now has a baby and finds for the first time she’s not.. Angelique Cabral (ENLISTED) will be Colleen, the woman Matt has just fallen in love with who is stuck in a messy breakup with her ex-fiancé.

As 'Deadline' reports, one of our favourite hunks, and we do love them Australian, don't we, 300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE star Sullivan Stapleton will be the lead star of NBC's new pilot BLINDSPOT! Stapleton, who was the most wanted star in this pilot season, will lead the show together with THOR's Jaimie Alexander who will play a beautiful woman, Jane Doe who is found in the middle of Times Square in New York City with her memory wiped and no clue as to what the extensive tattoos on her body mean. Sullivan Stapleton will play FBI special agent Kurt Weller, the leader of an elite FBI unit who is called in from a mission to investigate the woman — who, among all the tattoos, has his name written on her back. Rob Brown (Treme) and Audrey Esparza (Public Morals) will play members of his team.

WALTER SCOTT'S 'IVANHOE'
TO GET NEW MOVIE ADAPTATION
When it comes to our favourite epic genre, writer Irvine Welsh (TRAINSPOTTING) and director Jon S. Baird will adapt one of the most legendary of historical novels Walter Scott's IVANHOE!  As you probably remember from the famous 1950's movie with Joan Fontaine, Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Taylor, the story follows a worthy and noble knight who returns to England after the third Crusades. He fights to restore the good King Richard, believed to be held captive in an Austrian prison, and depose Richard’s wicked brother John. In this new take on the story, IVANHOE and his fellow returning knights are suffering to different degrees from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following their ultimately failed exploits against Saladin and his successful recapturing of Jerusalem.

'OCTOBER GALE' TRAILER
 PATRICIA CLARKSON & SCOTT SPEEDMAN ON AN ISLAND
First trailer and poster have been released for gripping thriller OCTOBER GALE in which Patricia Clarkson plays Helen, a recently widowed doctor, returns home to her isolated cottage off the Canadian coast to find a stranger with a gunshot wound (Scott Speedman) hiding out from two men intent on killing him. As an ominous storm brews outside, trapping the pair on the island, they must join forces to survive a harrowing night of terror, while navigating the mounting attraction growing between them. Full of hairpin plot twists and unrelenting tension, OCTOBER GALE is a grippingly suspenseful spine-chiller. The movie is out in Canada this March.
