Prince Charles and Camilla are fans of The Killing, now have their own jumper
If you were royalty, wouldn’t you want to go on the set of your favourite show (The Killing), meet its star (Sophie Grabol), meet the show’s creator (Soren Sveistrup), get your own souvenir (a Sarah Lund jumper) and shoot someone you probably don’t like (Crown Princess Mary of Denmark)?

Random Acts: Ali Larter’s back in The Asset
Ali’s back. Yey! She’s starring in a pilot, The Asset, playing a CIA agent who’s also a photo-journalist. Apparently – at least according to Josh Friedman who created Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles – photojournalists take pictures of homeless people. The CIA need to work on their cover stories a little, I reckon. Or it might just be Ali being random.
