Benedict Cumberbatch

FASHION AND STYLE
By Erika W. Smith , FashionnStyle Reporter

The pair were photographed holding hands, leading blogs to wonder if they were dating.

The Daily Mirror reports that a source said that the two are just close friends.

“Charlotte (Asprey) has been friends with Benedict for a number of years now,” the source said.

“She joined him to celebrate his birthday along with several of their close pals and some of his family members.”



Although Asprey hasn’t had the success that Cumberbatch has, her star may be about to rise as she will appear in the upcoming TV series “Dracula,” which is currently filming.

The series will star heartthrob Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as Dracula. Rhys-Meyers previously starred as a young Henry VIII in the TV series “The Tudors,” as well as appeared in hit films including “Bend It Like Beckham” and “Match Point.”

Previously, Asprey had a small part in the 2011 film “Will” and appeared in guest roles in several TV series, including “Midsomer Murders,” “Doctors,” “Holby City” and “Elizabeth I.”

Review: Albert Nobbs (AZ Reporter)

Glenn Close delivers a splendid performance in this cinematic adaptation of a short story by Irish novelist George Moore. Set in 19th century Dublin, the heartbreaking Victorian drama chronicles the courage of woman who - for 30 years - took the identity of a man in order to gain respectable work at Morrison's, an opulent, yet intimate hotel.






Albert Nobbs
(Roadside Attractions)

Shy Albert Nobbs (Close) is a butler, quiet and attentive to the needs of the elegant, privileged guests (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Brendan Gleeson). A proper servant, Nobbs is always unobtrusive and impeccably attired, living in a solitary upstairs room, where he secretly stashes his earnings under the floorboards. His dream is to save enough money to buy a tobacco shop.

But one night, the proprietress, Mrs. Baker (Pauline Collins), informs Nobbs that he will have to share his tiny room - and bed - with a laconic, chain-smoking housepainter, Hubert Page, who will be working at the hotel. Before the night is over, Nobbs is stunned to discover that Page (Janet McTeer) is not only a woman-disguised-as-a-man but that he/she is also living with a woman (Bronaugh Gallagher) to whom he/she is, ostensibly, married.

Meanwhile, Nobbs is courting Helen Dawes (Mia Wasikowska) a flirty young member of the hotel staff who is involved with dashing Joe (Aaron Johnson) and hoping he'll take her with him to America.

Back in 1982, Close won an Obie for portraying Nobbs in Simone Benmussa's off-Broadway stage production and she co-wrote the movie script with Gabriella Prekop and John Banville. This has been Close's passionate project for 29 years, which is why she entrusted helming to femme-centric Colombian Rodrigo Garcia (son of novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez), who previously directed her in "Nine Lives" (2005) and "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking at Her" (2000).

Problem is: it's far too difficult to believe that either Glenn Close or Janet McTeer could pass as men for more than a cursory glance.

On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Albert Nobbs" is a subtle, sensitive 6, creating a fascinating, if far-fetched facade.

BBC AMERICA - NOVEMBER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS

Daemon's TV







WOULD YOU RATHER? WITH GRAHAM NORTON – WORLD PREMIERE
Graham Norton asks the important questions and we find out the hilarious answers in the all-new BBC AMERICA original comedy panel show Would You Rather? with Graham Norton. Based on popular British panel-style shows, each week celebrities and comedians are asked to contemplate and discuss ridiculous predicaments, for example: would you rather eat only dog food for a year or get shot in the knee? After a hilarious and candid debate the panelists must ultimately decide what they’d rather do and Graham picks his favorite response. The results are tabulated in the end and like every game in America, there is a winner.

Would You Rather? with Graham Norton premieres Saturday, November 5, 11:00pm and 11:30pm ET/PT following The Graham Norton Show as part of the Ministry of Laughs. Twitter: #WouldYouRather
