Goldblum begins 'World' tour for AMC
Jeff Goldblum has signed on to narrate the first nine episodes of AMC's new original series "Movies That Shook the World," which premieres at 10 p.m. Sept. 9.
The documentary series explores why certain movies were so "explosive" when they were released, the new paths they blazed and why they remain so influential today, the cable network said.
Among the films to be spotlighted are "The Graduate," "Birth of a Nation," "Do the Right Thing," "Fatal Attraction" and "The China Syndrome."
Other confirmed participants in the series include Spike Lee, Willem Dafoe, Al Franken, David Crosby, Sherry Lansing and Roger Ebert.
A Princess in Metropolis
Princess Leia's getting her buns - geddit? buns? - over to Metropolis. EDITOR'S NOTE: YEAH. FUNNY. (SIGH....)
According to TV Guide, "Star Wars" fave and celebrated author Carrie Fisher will pop up in TV's "Smallville" this season. EDITOR'S NOTE: ON THE OTHER HAND, DWEEBS DON'T MIND CROSS-POLINATION AND PANDERING. WHEN IT'S THIS FUN!
According to the site, "Carrie's playing Pauline Kahn, the no-nonsense editor-in-chief of the "Daily Planet" whom Chloe (Allison Mack) meets in hopes of landing an internship. Her episode airs Oct. 27. But considering Chloe gets the gig, it's probably safe to say we'll see Princess L again."
Fisher recently appeared in the films "Wonderland" and "Stateside", and just wrapped a role in the film "Undiscovered" with Kip Pardue and Ashlee Simpson, about a group of aspiring entertainers trying to establish careers for themselves in the city of Los Angeles.
Young Gun a new male lead on Alias
With one of the show's most popular male leads about to depart - EDITOR'S NOTE: OH DRAT DRAT AND QUADRUPLE DRAT!- TV's "Alias" has been on the lookout for a healthy new buck to beef up the next - whispered to be, the final - season.
And it seems, they've found him.
Former teen heartthrob Balthazar Getty ["Young Guns II", "Lord of the Flies", "Natural Born Killers"] has been enlisted for duty. EDITOR'S NOTE: OK. HE'S KINDA CUTE.
He'll be donning the I.D badge of Thomas Grace, a new agent who joins the APO team and a man with a long history of deep cover experience.
Getty's on the verge of a semi-comeback it seems. He's popped up recently in films like "Ladder 49", "Traffic" and "Deuces Wild", and is one of the names lending their tag to the Project Greenlight-flick "Feast", due for release at Chrissy.
His role on "Alias" is likely to kickstart the new phase of his career even further.
This new season of "Alias" will either be the last, or at least, the last for star Jennifer Garner. Garner's let the money-men know that she probably won't be back for season six. If the network does decide to renew the series, which will be decided in a couple of months, it's likely that newcomer Rachel Nichols ["Dumb and Dumberer"] will replace Garner. Nichols' character, a deadly black-ops agent, is being introduced this year.
Forster, Henry, Michele joining 'Hunt' for CBS

'Child' play: Polo, Gilpin in Lifetime pic
Teri Polo and Peri Gilpin have been tapped to star in the Lifetime Television original movie "For the Love of a Child," which is based on the true story of two Nobel Peace Prize nominees who help rescue abandoned and abused children. EDITOR'S NOTE: ANY LIFETIME CHANNEL INFO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MY VERSION OF A PSA. I GET SUGAR-SHOCK JUST READING THE DESCRIPTIONS. (LIFETIME: TELEVISION FOR WOMEN WHO WEEP A LOT).
The movie centers on Yvonne Fedderson (Polo) and Sara O'Meara (Gilpin), who founded the nonprofit organization Childhelp USA and recently were nominated for the 2005 peace prize (winners will be announced in October).
"Child," set to premiere on Lifetime in January, chronicles their work while telling the stories of abused children who find refuge in a Childhelp USA village. "What (O'Meara and Fedderson) have accomplished over the past 45 years is truly inspirational," said Trevor Walton, senior vp original movies.

The agency joins forces with the FBI, stadium officials and Special Ops to stop the disaster. Arquette and Jones will portray Homeland Security agents in the movie, which just went into production. EDITOR'S NOTE: WASN'T THERE A BEN AFFLECK JACK RYAN MOVIE WITH THIS PLOT? WEREN'T WE BORED THEN TOO?
