McKellen, 'aviezel and The Prisoner'
Too young to remember the ground-
breaking 1960s cult TV drama "The
Prisoner"? You're not alone.
And you're lucky that the visionary folks
at AMC do remember it, because an updat-
ed version, starring gay actor Sir Ian
McKellen and Jim Caviezel from "Passion
of the Christ" (as "Number Two" and
"Number Six," respectively), is coming
back to that network in 2009.
The original series was a tense, paranoid
take on '60s Cold War politics, incorporat-
ing elements of the sci-fi, thriller and spy
genres.
Since the world is even more freaked-
out and anxiety-ridden 40 years later,
what better time to revive the show?
In a nice quality-control move, the final
product is scheduled to be a six-part minis-,
eries. It's always smarter to leave them
wanting more.
Gale Harold gets 'Desperate'
You think you're just doing a guest spot
on a highly-rated nighttime soap, but then
it turns out your scene is a flash-forward.
Score!
You're now a recurring character in
future episodes.
That's the happy outcome for former
"Queer as Folk" star Gale Harold, who, in
this past season of "Desperate
Housewives/' played Ken, the mystery
man last seen kissing Ten Hatcher.
It was a "Lost"-like "this hasn't hap-
pened yet" scene, and now Harold
will join the cast next season to fol-
low through on getting back to the
future for that smooch.
He's one of two men moving to
Wisteria Lane; the other is Neal
McDonough ("Tin Man"), who
will become romantically
involved with one of the other
housewives.
Which begs the question: with
all these hot men around, just
how desperate are these gals,
really?
'Everybody's Fine' with Moennig
The 2009 family drama
"Everybody's Fine" has quite the
A-list cast: Robert DeNiro, Drew
Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and
Sam Rockwell.
The story involves a widower
coining to the realization that his
late wife was the conduit through
which he connected to his family.
Solution? Road trip of togetherness,
of course.
It all sounds adorable and probably
somewhat weepy and it's directed by
Kirk Jones, the man behind "Nanny
McPhee" and "Waking Ned Devine/'
But you should plan to see it because
of the coolest "L" from "The L Word,"

Katherine Moennig, who co-stars in a role
of — for now — unknown size.
It would probably be too much to ask for
her to play Drew's girlfriend, but we can all
hope.
Either way, a little Shane is better than no
Shane at all.
The mystery of
Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen
First, Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen
kissed in 'Talladega Nights."
Then they made out like wild animals on
stage at the MTV Movie Awards.
And while that might not make them
gay, it does make them awesome. So it's
good news that the comic actors have
decided to team up again for a big-screen
relaunch of the characters Sherlock Holmes
and his assistant Watson.
Cohen will play the famed detective, and
Ferrell will handle Watson's duties.
And so far those are all the clues we
have. No title, no other cast, no production
start or release date and, most anxiously, no
word on whether or not the two will anger
purists with major gay subtext.
Here's hoping.

How has $4-a-gallon gasoline
changed your life?
"I don't come down
to the bars as much.
1 drive a truck, and it
just sucks gas. Also,
I'm from Oklahoma,
and I don't have the
money to visit my
family there."
"On the weekends, I
just stay at home. I
only use my car for
work."
"I now have to
budget for it. Before
it just came out of
the pile of extra
money for things like
eating out and
clothes. I just filled
up, and it was $49."
"It hasn't really
affected me at all in
a direct sense. I ride
a bicycle. I haven't
driven a car for four
years."
"It's affected how
often I drive here [to
Oak Lawn], and it
affects how much I
charge for the serv-
ices I do. Oil costs
have devalued the
dollar overseas,
which affects
everything."
