"Mavericks are cool, confident and collected." "I'm into anybody who thinks outside the box and doesn't play by the rules to make it up the ladder," said Rex Lee of "Entourage," who swung by after the premiere of "The Reaping" in Westwood.

It is advertised as an edgier, bloodier version of ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Its first season ended on March 2, 2006. "? "Lycra, hair, glitter and bribes -- just like in the real word of skating," said Ferrell. "Forget the skating and let America vote on the same-sex team with the best figures in tight shiny clothes," added Romany Malco, who plays the skating choreographer in the movie. The reality show may involve former Olympic skaters Brian Boitano, Dorothy Hamill, Nancy Kerrigan, Sasha Cohen and Scott Hamilton, who appear in "Blades." "I'm definitely in if they get Catherine Zeta-Jones, Condoleezza Rice and Vera Wang, who've skated before and won't embarrass the sport," said Boitano. "I'd love to be involved if we're able to make fun of ourselves and provide great entertainment value," added Hamill.

"He's still got his wedding ring on." Whew whew interj. Used to express strong emotion, such as relief or amazement. whew interj an exclamation of relief, surprise, disbelief, or weariness . "My kids laughed their heads off at your portrayal of the nonsense, indecision and compromises behind a TV show!" on fan said to Duchovny about the film that opens Friday. "Hopefully it will also serve as a public service announcement to dissuade them from a career in show business," replied Duchovny, who plays a writer trying to produce and air a TV pilot. Not that Duchovny and other cast members at the party -- including Sigourney Weaver, Ioan Gruffudd, Justine Bateman, Judy Greer, Lindsay Sloane, Lucy Davis and Fran Kranz -- want to bite the industry that feeds them. "There's something for everyone on TV today and kids can still legitimately dream of becoming stars," said Weaver, the Stanford/Yale grad.

"And I was broke, all right? So it wasn't until I was about 19 that I even learned to drive. "Eventually, I had a friend of mine teach me how to drive on the mountain roads up in Palos Verdes.
