Marc Silcock extends 'Emmerdale' contract
Wednesday, September 29 2010, 18:57 BST By Ryan Love, Entertainment Reporter
Emmerdale's Marc Silcock has confirmed that he has extended his contract to remain in the show until spring next year.
The actor, who portrays Jackson Walsh, told Digital Spy that he was pleased to know that he will have spent at least a year in the Yorkshire soap.
"I've just been extended, which takes me through until spring next year, which is fantastic," he said.
He continued: "At the moment, I know I'm there until early next year. I'm there for the first couple of months of 2011 which will be great as it will see me through a year.
"What happens after that is completely up to the bosses but all I know is that."
Emmerdale's executive producer Gavin Blyth praised Silcock and said that it would have been "silly" of the soap to let him go.
"Marc's performances have been absolutely fantastic," he said. "So we would be silly not to keep him and enjoy more of Marc and Jackson."
He added: "We've actually just extended his contract a little bit more into 2011 which is great. The chemistry is so good and the story has proved phenomenally successful.
"We'd be daft to break that partnership up."

Kieron Richardson from Hollyoaks (Ste)

'Oaks actor comes out, confirms gay plot
Wednesday, September 15 2010, 12:42 BST By Ryan Love, Entertainment ReporterKieron Richardson has come out as gay in an interview with ITV's This Morning.
The Hollyoaks actor, who also appeared on Dancing On Ice, divulged his sexuality to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Richardson also revealed that his character Ste would be involved in a plot in which he would question his feelings for Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan)
The soap confirmed that the plot would see the pair form an "unusual friendship" as Ste becomes captivated by the bad boy.
The pair kiss on a night out but a disgusted Brendan then rejects Ste, who later admits that he has been attracted to another male before when he spent time in a young offenders' institute.
However, the long-term storyline is set to take a shocking twist when Brendan beats Ste up badly, marking the beginning of a turbulent and troubled relationship.
Hollyoaks series producer Paul Marquess said: "This is a long running storyline and while it is dark to begin with, the lessons that Ste learns are ultimately positive and life affirming.
"This story is about not being afraid to be who you are and while this is something Brendan struggles with, Ste is refreshingly accepting of his feelings towards another man," he continued. "I hope viewers will be glued throughout the twists and turns as we unravel how Brendan came to be the twisted person we have been watching on screen."
Richardson admitted that he was "shocked" to learn about the storyline but added that he was honoured to be given the plot.
He added: "Having understood the long-term storyline I am honoured and very excited to have been given this challenge. Brendan is a dangerous character and it will be interesting to see how Ste copes when he himself is the victim of domestic violence.”
Scanlan confessed that he is glad that Brendan is a becoming "a complex character" and "not a gratuitous soap villain, but a multi-layered character with depth, a troubled past and an unsure future".
He continued: "I hope that as the storyline develops, viewers will be able to understand why Brendan has become the villain they see today. Brendan is compelled to manipulate and control everyone who crosses his path. At the moment this makes him dangerous but when we identify why he behaves this way, we will discover his vulnerabilities and this is exciting..."
The scenes will air later next month.

George Michael jailed for eight weeks...

George Michael sobs as he is branded a drug addict and sent to prison for smashing car while high on cannabis
By Tom Kelly
Last updated at 1:37 AM on 15th September 2010
George Michael wept yesterday as a judge told him he was a drug addict - and jailed him for crashing his range rover into a shop.
The singer was sentenced to eight weeks for driving after taking a 'dangerous and unpredictable' cocktail of cannabis and anti-anxiety prescription medication - but may be out of jail in a month.
A district judge told the 47-year-old he was being locked up because of his failure to tackle his illegal drug habit, despite previous ' wake-up calls' and convictions.
Michael was a 'risk to a public', he said. 'Despite the resources at your command it does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what's clearly an addiction to cannabis.'
Michael, who has blamed his downfall on his mother's death from cancer in 1997, wept as he was led to the cells. His partner Kenny Goss also sobbed.
Michael was taken to Pentonville jail, North London - a category B jail housing muggers, sex offenders and drug dealers. Boy George and Pete Doherty were previous inmates.
The singer found fame in the duo Wham!, but despite 11 UK number ones in his career, it never recovered from his 1998 conviction for 'engaging in a lewd act' in a Los Angeles public toilet.
He has since had cautions for cannabis and crack cocaine possession and a previous conviction for driving while unfit through drugs.
In his latest fall from grace, he smashed into a Snappy Snaps photography shop in Hampstead, North London, in his £80,000 4X4, in the early hours of July 4.
Police found him at the wheel 'spaced out and sweating profusely', prosecutor Jonathan Efemini told Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.
Michael initially said he had not crashed and gave his name only as 'George'.
In a police interview, Michael admitted smoking a 'small quantity' of cannabis the previous night and said he also took a newly prescribed sedative and anti-anxiety pill, Amitriptyline.
He told police he decided to drive between his two London homes in Highgate and Hampstead and forgot he had taken the sedative.
Michael had been warned he could face jail when he admitted driving while unfit through drugs and possessing two cannabis cigarettes at a hearing last month.
Yesterday, sitting in the dock of a packed court, the singer spoke only once to agree with the clerk that he would prefer to use his stage name George Michael rather than his real name of Georgios Panayiotou.
'I think that would be easier,' he explained with a forced grin.
Mukul Chawla QC, for Michael, told the court the singer felt 'shame and horror'. 'The prospect he could have put anyone else in danger is an appalling prospect to him.'
The QC asked for him to be spared jail, explaining that the crash happened as Michael struggled to turn his life around after years hooked on prescription medication to deal with his anxiety, depression and insomnia.
But District Judge John Perkins told the singer: 'Your record is of concern. It shows cautions for possession of cannabis twice in 2006, a conviction at Brent Magistrates in 2007 when you were disqualified from driving for two years for your first offence of driving whilst unfit, and again a caution for possession both of class A and class C drugs in September 2008.

'You refer in the probation report to that conviction being a wake-up call.
'Despite the resources at your command, it does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what's clearly an addiction to cannabis.
'That was a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk.'
He sentenced him to eight weeks, banned him from driving for five years and ordered him to pay a £1,250 fine.
Earlier during the day, Mr Chawla said Michael had tried to turn his life around since the incident and had started writing songs again.
'For the first time in many years he has started writing again. His creativity, so long hampered by his drug dependence, is re-emerging.'
He had also personally paid for repairs at the Snappy Snaps shop in Hampstead near his home, his lawyer said.
The star had admitted possessing class B drugs and driving while unfit through drugs at a hearing last month.
Michael had been on his way home from a Gay Pride parade and two police officers found him apparently unconscious behind the wheel.
Prosecutor Penny Fergusson told the court last month that Michael appeared to try to get the car back in gear when he was roused by one officer banging on his window.
She said: 'Mr Michael looked at the officer with his eyes wide open and the officers could see his pupils were dilated. They opened the door and could see he was dripping with sweat.'
The court heard Michael did not initially respond to police and when asked what his name was, replied: 'George.'
Ms Fergusson said Michael was confused and when told he had crashed into a shop, added: 'No I didn't. I didn't crash into anything.'
When he got out of the car the officers found he was soaked with sweat, breathing heavily and had to be held up.
Michael was handcuffed, arrested and driven back to Hampstead police station where he failed a test to find whether he was fit to drive.
He had not been drinking but was found to be carrying two cannabis cigarettes. Tests on a sample of his blood showed he had chemicals linked to the drug in his system.
The prosecutor added: 'He could not remember the route he took or crashing his car. He just remembers the police officer knocking at his window.'
Michael admitted smoking a 'small quantity' of cannabis about 10pm the previous evening and said he also took a newly-prescribed sedative to help him sleep.
He added that it could be a 'terrible, terrible drug' and that it could 'chill you out to such a degree that you could lose your ambitions,' but denied having a drug problem on camera.
In a later interview with on the BBC's Desert Island Discs, he admitted his cannabis use had become a 'problem.' He added: 'Absolutely I would like to take less, no question.'
But he added that he did not think his habit was 'getting in the way of my life in any way.'
However, he was at least believed to have cut down his habit from 25 marijuana joints a day a few years ago to eight a day now.
In an interview last December, he said: 'I was probably more stoned in those days. I was existing on a balance of Starbucks and weed. I probably do about seven or eight a day now.’

Crush: The scene outside the court in north London as George Michael is led out of court |
Michael was handcuffed, arrested and driven back to Hampstead police station where he failed a test to find whether he was fit to drive.
He had not been drinking but was found to be carrying two cannabis cigarettes. Tests on a sample of his blood showed he had chemicals linked to the drug in his system.
The prosecutor added: 'He could not remember the route he took or crashing his car. He just remembers the police officer knocking at his window.'
Michael admitted smoking a 'small quantity' of cannabis about 10pm the previous evening and said he also took a newly-prescribed sedative to help him sleep.
| He told police he decided to drive between his homes in Highgate and Hampstead to meet a friend on the spur of the moment and forgot he had taken the sedative. Michael revealed at the end of last month that he was having professional help and 'counselling' for drugs. In a shock statement, he revealed how he secretly went on a 14-day detox programme the day after the July crash. Since then, he has been undergoing drug counselling 'several times' a week, he told fans in an open letter. The admision was the first time the star has tried to explain his increasingly erratic behaviour in recent years. He blamed his behaviour on ‘personal problems’ which had ‘clearly got the better’ of him - and admitted that ‘pride’ had stopped him seeking help in the past. It is believed the personal problems Michael was referring to stem from the deaths of his late boyfriend Anselmo Feleppa from an AIDS-related brain hemorrhage in 1993 and then his mother Lesley Angold Harrison, an English dancer who died from cancer in 1997. Until this year, Michael had ignored all previous appeals from concerned friends such as Sir Elton John and Bono to quit smoking marjuana. He had even appeared on television programme The South Bank Show smoking the drug. Michael, who was being filmed during his greatest hits tour, said at the time: 'It's a great drug, but obviously it's not very healthy. You can't afford to smoke it if you've got anything to do. Anything at all would be foolish.' | THE SINGER'S RAP SHEET |

White Collar Summer Season Finale
Original article
Tim DeKay Speaks on White Collar Finale, Previews January ReturnIs Mozzie dead? That's the question White Collar fans are debating following this week's shocking summer finale conclusion.
In an interview with The New York Post, star Tim DeKay pretty much answers this question, whole looking ahead to the show's return in January. Excerpts are below...
What was your reaction to Mozzie getting shot in the finale's final moment?
When I first read it, I thought, “finally, I don’t have to work with WillieGarson any more!” [laughs] No, when I first read it I thought two things: one, that is a hell of a cliffhanger, but in terms of the story, it made me realize that whatever is behind this music box – or whatever it leads us to – has to be some phenomenal thing.Should Mozzie fans be worried?
I’m not one to answer that. Suffice it to say, there is a very interesting resolution in January.Will new episodes pick up where we left off?
Yes, chronologically we pick up right after that shooting and the season will keep chugging along. There will be episodes that address the mythology heavier than others, while others will just be lightly touched upon, the way the first half of this season went.Will we see more of Julian Larson?
Yes, but as Fowler has said, there are bigger people pulling strings. That character will be back – we’ll meet him again – but we’ll meet other characters who are part of that tangled web.What other spoilers can you reveal?
Fans can look forward to more interesting capers that challenge and examine Neal’s relationship with Peter in both a comedic and dramatic fashion. As far as the anthology of the musicbox , there are some very interesting plot twists coming up. And also, we are going to have a flashback episode. That will give us some answers as to what is going on with the music box and what it could lead to.

Enquirer: Jim Parsons is gay, and he just proposed to his boyfriend
**Note: The dude behind Jim Parsons in these photos might be his alleged boyfriend/fiancé Todd Spiewak, but I don’t know. These are the best we can do with the photos we have.
Who knew that Jim Parsons was gay? I sure didn’t. Then again, I never really thought about it - I don’t watch that show The Big Bang Theory, so my only exposure to Parsons has been in little Entertainment Tonight interview snippets and such. He comes across as a very strange, sweet little bird, and I thought his oddness placed him firmly on Team Vagina-Lover. Isn’t that always the case? The Gays get all of the suave, great-looking dudes with awesome bodies, and Team Vadge gets the weird, quirky, skinny boys that look like baby ducklings. Anyway, welcome to The Gays, Jim! Here’s your Mojito.
According to the Enquirer, Parsons is not only gay, but he’s in a secret (not so much) committed relationship with a dude named Todd Spiewak. The Enquirer’s sources say that Parsons was so thrilled with his Emmy win a few weeks ago, he dropped to his knees (wait for it) and proposed! Yay!
First: He’s 37 years old?!? Goodness. He looks about 15. Back on topic: if all of this is true (why not?), then congratulations to the happy couple! I don’t know if we should be talking about this if Jim hasn’t officially come out of the closet though - I can’t find any photos of Jim and Todd together, walking any kind of red carpet, or even some candid photos. Of course, are paparazzi really going to be staking out Jim and Todd’s house? No. And allegedly, Jim did bring Todd to the Emmys, and they sat beside each other and everything (video below), although they didn’t walk the red carpet. Hm. Oh well, we’ll never know for sure unless Jim confirms it. Queerty pointed out something hilarious though: Neil Patrick Harris, “de facto president of the gay mafia” is a big fan of Parsons. One more thing: Jim name-checked Todd in his Emmy speech:

“After he got his award, he told Todd the only thing that would make him happier is if they got married - and Todd quickly said yes,” a close pal of the couple told The Enquirer.
Jim and 33-year-old Todd, an art director, began dating three years ago and moved into an LA house last year. The actor has never publicly come out of the closet, but he hasn’t attempted to hide the fact that he and Todd are a couple.
“Jim is very quiet about the relationship because he lives an extremely private like, but they’re very much in love,” said the pal.
