Dublin Daily

Johnny come early By Erin McCafferty Dublin Daily, May 15, 2003 Cork-born actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has the sensual, androgynous looks of a Calvin Klein model.

There is no confirmation regarding this and I’d take any news reports about this with a grain of salt. Every week, you hear of some actor who...

Bend It Like Beckham now out

“Bend It Like Beckham” is now out in limited release in the US! Unfortunately, “Prozac Nation” is not coming out this Friday. Instead it is looking like it will be released in June instead according to Miramax’s website.
