SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

BBC's 'Sherlock' Cast as Villainous Khan in Abrams' 'Star Trek' Follow-up

Filmmaker JJ Abrams has scored an impressive coup, casting his 'Star Trek' sequel's villain.  After negotiations went afoul with Oscar winner Benecio del Toro, the BBC's acclaimed 'Sherlock' star, Benedict Cumberbatch, has signed on to step into the scene-stealing shoes of the late Ricardo Montalban, whose Khan hasbecome one of the most memorable, if not comedically imitated characters in filmdom. 

In Abrams' first trek, the young charactewrs of Captain Kirk's bridge realized they were in an alrternate reality, meaning this isn't a remake, but a new encounter, entirely.

We know Khan tries to kill Kirk and steal the Enterprise.  Hopefully, it will beas much fun the second (third if you count the earlier television episode) time around. 

The yet untitled follow up to 'Star Trek' is slated for a Summer 2013 release.

The Evolution of Cool: The Style of Rose Byrne's 'Ellen Parsons'

For four shaky seasons Glenn Close and company have been serving up some of the most cerebral television left offer with legal drama, 'Damages'.

In it, Close plays the ruthless attorney, Patty Hewes, giant slaying owner of Hewes and Associates but her associate, Ellen Parsons played by Rose Byrne who has not only become the show's scene stealer, but television's most drop dead gorgeous, icon worthy fashionista.

Her acting chops are nicely intact, but it has been the evolution of her character's personal style echoing the darkness which she's been thrust which went from tousseled and nice, to sleek and razor sharp without a hair out of place.

Her look perfectly mirrors the chaos which has been her life since Patty Hewes, the devil, entered. Chaos that reaches Shakespearean crescendos at times, 'Damages' is my guilty pleasure and so is Ellen Parsons....err.....Rose Byrne.
