Whether you want to know about kitting out James Bond or sinking his claws into Paddington Bear, Britain’s most likable actor is here to tell all
You’ll probably know Ben Whishaw best for taking over from Desmond Llewelyn (and briefly John Cleese) as Q in the past three James Bond films. And as the voice of Paddington Bear, where he was brought in at the last minute to replace Colin Firth.
Whishaw brings something so very likable to every role he plays: John Keats in Jane Campion’s Bright Star, Sebastian Flyte in the 2008 version of Brideshead Revisited and the grown-up Michael Banks in Mary Poppins Returns. And that includes his TV work: Norman Scott in A Very English Scandal and junior doctor Adam Kay in This Is Going to Hurt.

A retired Oregon teacher was found guilty on Friday of four counts of third-degree sexual abuse for inappropriately touching several middle school-aged girls in his classes in a single day in 2015, People confirms.
At trial, the prosecution argued that Norman Scott, 66, inappropriately touched the students at Gardiner Middle School, where he was working as a substitute physical education teacher, a court official tells People.

Last night, Ausiello broke the news that Katherine Heigl will likely not return to Grey's Anatomy. It won't be a difficult adjustment. Dr. Izzie Stevens -- who has been on a leave of absence for more than half of this season -- is already out of Grey's viewers' minds, and even though her character's plotlines have been some of the show's most ludicrous, her actual exit was one long yawn. (Or maybe one of those weird "unpredictable" yawns with the multiple short spurts, if you consider Heigl's history of tension with showrunners.) Grey's fans may be sorry Heigl won't be back,...
