Pre-emptive strike: Get Obsessed with Ali Larter

Ali Larter is obsessed

Before anyone else gets there, I thought I’d beat them to Obsessed with Ali Larter, a practical joke for all the family that’s fundamentally designed to mess with my head, although it’s ostensibly designed to promote the movie Obsessed:

Review: Heroes 3×20 – Cold Snap

So it’s been trailed for weeks. It’s been the one everyone’s looking forward to since it’s by Bryan Fuller – the season one producer responsible for classic episode Company Man who defected to ABC to create Pushing Daisies.

Will the rest of Armitage’s Army overcome the attack of the vapours over RA’s new publicity pic that seems to have possessed them of late, or will this be the last of the Dick Heads?

Whatever the answer – stay tuned, loyal fans of Dick Heads – you can haiku to your heart’s content with this one.

Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.

David Tennant’s video diary continues

It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere: yes, DT is back in Britain for his latest video diary – this time, in glorious HD. Facts we didn’t need to know: Michelle Ryan enjoys pain and being hung upside down from a harness. Thanks DT.
