Fans of Kevin Smith’s films (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) may be pleased to see Smith golden girl Joey Lauren Adams as a guest star in Season 2 of Showtime’s United States of Tara.

The folks at Showtime have revealed that Adams will play Tammy, a bartender who becomes a love interest for Buck, Tara’s rough-and-tumble male alter. Here are a few pics of the actress on set:

Secret liaisons, political intrigue and, of course, Wife No. 5 are all on tap for Season 4 of The Tudors, which drops in mid-April.

Those of you lamenting that Season 4 will be the last for King Henry and his harem, rest assured the final season will have all the drama, bad boys and pretty girls you’ve come to love in the first three seasons. Take a look:

The final season of The Tudors premieres April 11 on Showtime.

It’s been a busy winter for Toni Collette. She’s filmed the new season of United States of Tara, which includes at least one new alter, and she won a Golden Globe award for her performance as Tara Gregson in Season 1 (The most often quoted part of her acceptance speech went something like this:  “This is a real pleasure. The last time I came here 15 years ago, I was on the loo and missed my whole category.”)

It’s no wonder that after all that attention, the Australia native wanted to put the Hollywood hubbub behind her for a bit.

Last week, the papparazzi down under spotted her on a leisurely stroll in her hometown of Sydney with her daughter, Sage Florence.

The actress has said choosing her favorite among the alternate personalities she plays on United States of Tara would be like choosing her favorite child.

It’s clear from how she’s smiling at Sage that the little girl has no competition for her mom’s affection!

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and John Travolta seemed the best of pals when they walked the red carpet this week at the New York premiere of their new thriller, From Paris With Love.

According to OK! magazine, JRM said of his co-star:

“He’s an incredibly nice guy. Sometimes you’re shocked. I find the more successful –- the bigger stars that I work with, the nicer they are.”

Travolta was similarly enamored of the Tudors star.

““He’s the best,” he said of Jonny Boy. “He’s so talented and smart.”

The guys brought along their best gals, too.

Travolta’s wife, actress Kelly Preston, dished about some of the most romantic moments she’s shared with her husband, while JRM’s longtime girlfriend, socialite Reena Hammer, admitted that she’s addicted to Louboutins.

Wanna know who else was at the premiere? OK! has the skinny. And if you’re curious what JRM’s been saying about the film as he makes the TV talk show rounds, check him out on Regis & Kathy Lee.

Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker has signed on for The Well, a psychological drama co-starring Guy Pearce and produced by Philip Seymour Hoffman is producing.

Empire Online reports that the project was announced at the Sundance film fest and will feature Parker and Pearce as a wealthy New York couple “whose obsessive pursuit of salvation ultimately leads to destruction.” Aside from that tease, details on the film are scarce.

The movie still has to line up a financier, but with three A-list names attached we’re guessing it’ll move forward fairly quickly.

Parker, shown here running errands in NYC this fall, had other news out of Sundance: Howl, the biopic about Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in which she plays a supporting role, debuted to mixed reviews. Of course, with a cast including James Franco, Jon Hamm, David Strathairn, Treat Williams, Bob Balaban and Jeff Daniels, some reviewers may have expected a less difficult, more commercial offering.

At the ramp up to the SAG awards, LAist caught up with Dexter’s Lauren Velez (you may recall that she was busy signing merch from the series for part of the SAG foundation’s charity auction).

Here’s the interview, in which she dishes on her character’s new marriage to Bautista, what it was like to work with John Lithgow, and why it’s great to see Hollywood’s award-givers finally recognize Michael C. Hall for his work on Dexter. Check it out:

Tudors fans, you can expect to see a lot of Jonathan Rhys Meyers this week, as he makes the rounds to promote his new film From Paris With Love (co-starring John Travolta).

In this charming clip from Regis & Kathy Lee, Jonny Boy explains why he likes learning to ski (and the outfits that go with it) and chats about how his take on Henry VIII is different from other stars who’ve portrayed the historical tyrant. Enjoy!

The Tudors fourth and final season airs this spring.

OK, so Peter Facinelli’s video diaries are charming and full of shenanigans and give you an idea of how close the cast of Nurse Jackie is. But this new trailer for Season 2 is the best! It reminds us all why we fell in love with the show to begin with (Doe-eyed Zoey! Jaded Jackie! Madcap Coop!) and gives us an idea of what to expect when the new season drops in March (More Mrs. Akalitis, Thor as confidante, Jackie turns to cannabis and sex on the kitchen floor!).

Please forgive us the exclamation points and just watch this clip. We’re a tad excited here in Showtime Fan HQ.

It’s been quite a year for Dexter star Michael C. Hall.

To recap:

• Just one month before his 38th birthday, he married co-star Jennifer Carpenter.
• Then, he took his character to new levels on Season 4 of Dexter, raising his game to work with guest star John Lithgow.
• He also made a splash on the big screen opposite Gerard Butler, all before being diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma.
• The cancer treatment didn’t slow him down much, though, with Hall winning two major Hollywood honors — a Golden Globe and a SAG Award.
• Through it all, he navigated the media attention surrounding his illness with tact and grace.

So, on his 39th birthday, we wish one of our favorite actors a very, very, happy day. No doubt, he’s earned it.

If you didn’t already love the show — and, seriously, what’s not to love? — you may fall under the spell of Nurse Jackie with this second installment in Peter Facinelli’s behind-the-scenes video diary.

Turns out the guy who plays Thor is a total ham, while the gal who plays Zoey is remarkably camera shy when she doesn’t have a script to work from. But the best, by far, is the song-and-dance routine at the end of this clip. Enjoy!
