Hugh Dancy’s New Rom-Com Hysteria Is Shakespeare in Love for the Vibrator

Hugh Dancy's New Rom-Com Hysteria Is Shakespeare in Love for the Vibrator

One of the best plays I’ve seen in New York was Sarah Ruhl‘s In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play), about a clueless Victorian doctor who cures women of their “hysteria” with a vibrator… and doesn’t even recognize their orgasms.

How Did We Not Know That Jessica Alba's Movie 'The Sleeping Dictionary' Exists?

While searching for photos of Hugh Dancy, I came across this cinematic gem from 2003, starring Dancy and Jessica Alba, fresh off her Dark Angel career.

Check out our gallery of who could play Cinna, plus find out more about Brooke Bundy and Latarsha Rose, who have been cast as other Capitol stylists who transform Katniss and Peeta. More »

Celebrity Lookalikes: New Superman Henry Cavill Has The Same Face As Everyone In Hollywood

Celebrity Lookalikes: New Superman Henry Cavill Has The Same Face As Everyone In Hollywood
Hugh Dancy.
Adam Brody is usually Clark.
Kevin McDonald from the 'Kids in the Hall' days.
Matt Bomer, a Superman contender.
Penn Badgeley!

We had to stare at this EW cover for whole moments to figure out who was on it. It’s Henry Cavill, of course, the new English Superman, but four or five other actors came to mind before we noticed that big “S.” We guess having such an everyman face (okay, the most attractive everyman in the galaxy) bodes well for that whole putting on a pair of glasses and secretly turning into Clark Kent thing. Take a look at Henry’s lookalikes and let us know if we forgot anyone. More »

Emile Hirsch took liberty with a soul patch.
Franco! Rocking the rugged look.

Liam Hemsworth, getting a little too scruffy.

Here at Sundance, stars and commoners alike are waking around in snow boots and giant parkas. Winter: It’s the great equalizer. And a lot of smart guys thought ahead and grew some facial hair in advance to guard against the cold. Check out our gallery of some of the scruffy stars who’ve been wandering the streets of Park City. More »
