CATE BLANCHETT IS "CANCER VIXEN"! LOUISE LOMBARD IS QUEEN IN SF SHOW "SELECTION"! TORRANCE COOMBS IN "REIGN" EPIC SHOW!

The best actress that has ever lived, Cate Blanchett, who is currently preparing to star in George Clooney's THE MONUMENTS MEN
a film about a team of experts who tried to save art pieces from Hitler's Nazis in World War II, has got herself a new role: "Deadline" reports that she will star and produce the movie adaptation of Marisa Acocella Marchetto's bestselling book CANCER VIXEN. The protagonist in the story is a cartoonist for magazines like "The New Yorker" and "Glamour" with a supercharged Manhattan lifestyle who is about to get married but must re-examine her life through wit and her animation when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. Before she does this one, Blanchett will probably have to shoot Kenneth Bragnah's CINDERELLA in which she is playing the evil stepmother!

LOUISE LOMBARD IS QUEEN IN "SELECTION" 
In television news, beautiful blonde Louise Lombard (STARGATE UNIVERSE, HOUSE OF ELLIOTT) has scored the royal role in CW's upcoming science fiction pilot THE SELECTION an epic romance 
centring on America Singer (Yael Grobglas), a working class young woman chosen by lottery to participate in a competition with 25 other women for the Royal Prince’s (Michael Malarkey) hand to become the nation’s next queen. "Deadline" reports that Lombard will play the current queen, Queen Amberly. Refined, intelligent and beloved by the people, Queen Amberly is a canny political player within the palace, and knows everything there is to know about every single girl in The Selection competition. The King is played by MERLIN's Anthony Head!

  TORRANCE COOMBS IN "REIGN" EPIC SHOW
And another of our most anticipated upcoming historical shows has landed a new cast member! CW's epic series REIGN, which chronicles
 the rise to power of Mary Queen of Scots (Adelaide Kane) when she arrives in France as a 15-year-old, betrothed to Prince Francis (Toby Regbo), and with her best friends as ladies in waiting, has added handsome Torrance Coombs to the cast! He will play Sebastian, Francis’ resourceful illegitimate half brother, a favorite son of King Henry II and his most favored mistress, Diane de Poitiers. He offers Mary some sage advice! It is also interesting that one of Mary's ladies in waiting will be portrayed by Anna Popplewell, the little girl from NARNIA saga! She will play Mary's lady Lola!

    Torrance Coombs is a handsome cuss, I must say. I hope all is going well with you, Dezzaroonie.

    It's good to see you back darling. Don't try to do too much right now. Take care of yourself first.

    Oooh lala Lynn is looking quite sexy there. The boys will be eating that up.

    Oh yes, Kate as the wicked stepmother. I can't picture it, but it should be interesting.

      I'm trying to just sit down and relax as much as I can, Annzie. It ain't easy, but I will survive somehow :)

      We do love both Lynn and Cate!

      Why is relaxing hard for you to do?

    wow, Cate looks fabulous - I had to look up and see how old she was! And Mr. Coombs can come to dinner at my house anytime ;)

    Dez, so sorry you're not feeling up to snuff. I hope it's nothing serious and you are back to your usual perkiness asap!

      That is one of her older pictures, but she does still look divine :)

      In a week or two I will be as good as new :)

    Cate Blanchett really does shine in every movie she's in.

    Sorry to hear you have to put up with uncomfortable bandages. The intergalactic Imperial Pash...what did you call yourself?...should have minions to do the suffering for him. Feel better soon. ((hugs)).

    I actually said, 'Holy crap' out loud when I saw that picture of Noa-Blair-Lynn-Collins-What's-her-name. Could you put in a good word for me, Dezz, and ask her to adopt me? Yep, Cate is a great actress, but... is she the best?

    I am so happy you are back among us and out of that dreadful clinic. I worry about you sweetie. Hugs :)

    Yay for Cate. I love her and adore most everything she has done. I am really tired of hearing about The Selection. It sounds like such a boring show.

      I'm anxious to see SELECTION to judge whether it will be a sf epic, which we want, or just a superficial teen soap.

      They took out my drainage tubes today so I'm feeling a bitsy better, but still quite zombified :)
