We mentioned Alec Baldwin’s rant on Twitter against the Daily Mail writer, calling him a “queen.” Baldwin has apologized via GLAAD. “My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone’s sexual orientation. My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libelous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend’s funeral service. As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologize.” Baldwin has a history of working for marriage equality and supporting the gay community, and says he meant “queen” like someone who is “above.”

Anderson Cooper doesn’t seem too inclined to forgive and forget however. “Why does#AlecBaldwin get a pass when he uses gay slurs? If...

For those of us who grew up during the "Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast" era of Disney films, the re-releasing of these childhood classics hits on some very nostalgic nerves. At least for this writer, anyway. I have very specific childhood memories tied to all of those animated classics and am looking forward to seeing "Beauty and the Beast 3D" during its limited release (which began today).

Anyway, in thinking about the magic involved in this film - the first animated movie ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar- I can't help but wonder about the talented voice actors who brought the characters to life. Where are they now? Click through to see what the actors who brought Belle, Beast and Mrs. Potts to life are up to now.

Paige O'Hara - Belle: O'Hara, a trained Broadway actress, has been working with Disney since she won the role of Belle.

Chicago – Chicago is naturally a community town, based on their neighborhoods and Midwestern roots. So it was natural that Grace McPhillips, an actor in the Windy City, would found a community group for actors. The Chicago Acting in Film Meetup Group is having their annual Holiday Fundraiser and Networking Night on December 13th.

McPhillips founded the organization as a way to connect with other working actors in Chicago film, in a town not particularly known for it’s culture of acting beyond the theater. She desired to create a haven for an exchange of ideas, information and support for its membership, now up to over 200 people.

Distributor Indican Pictures ( Monster Beach Party ) has taken the indie horror-comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead for U.S. distribution. Right now, an April 16 release is being planned. Shock Till You Drop brought you the first photos and a trailer for this title well over a year ago when it made a Slamdance premiere in 2008. For those, click here . Jordan Galland's film tells of an out of work lothario, Julian Marsh (Jake Hoffman), who scores a break as the director of an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian (John Ventimiglia) who is actually a master vampire. The film follows an eccentric cast of characters to explain the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires.

Bloody Disgusting received word that Jordan Galland's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead will be getting some sort of theatrical run on April 16, 2010, and thus was provided with the first batch of stills. In the film an out of work lothario, Julian Marsh (Jake Hoffman), scores a break as the director of an off-Broadway play. The play is a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet written by a pale Romanian (John Ventimiglia) who is actually a master vampire. A perfect combination of low-brow humor and high-brow aesthetics, this comedy/horror film follows an eccentric cast of characters to explain the connection between Hamlet, the Holy Grail, and some very sexy vampires. The film was scored by Sean Lennon, son of the legendary Beatle.

What if someone blended Shakespeare with vampires? Well then, there would be more blood and less theatrical acting, but Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead does have an interesting and sexier take on Hamlet. Have a look at the trailer for Rosencrantz below as the film moves closer to a January 19th release date at Slamdance (8:30pm). Also, a synopsis for the film is below.

A synopsis for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead:

"Julian Marsh (Hoffman) is an out of work ladies man who lands a job directing a bizarre adaption of Hamlet. After casting his best friend (Lemche) and his ex-girlfriend (Aoki) in the show, Julian finds himself in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy that explains the connection between Shakespeare, the Holy Grail and some seriously sexy vampires. It turns out that the play was actually written by a master vampire named Theo Horace...

Through a lifetime of roles such as Julian Marsh in "42nd Street", Sky Masterson in "Guys and Dolls," and, of course, Detective Lennie Briscoe on "Law and Order,"  Jerry Orbach garnered fame, fortune and the love of an entire city. But perhaps his most valued role was that of husband to his wife, Elaine.Monday night, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate the love story of Jerry and Elaine Orbach. Famed friends took the stage in New York at the Snapple Theater Center's Jerry Orbach Theater to share memories of Jerry and Elaine, and present excerpts from "Remember How I Love You," a posthumously published memoir of the late couple's romance. Recently released this month, copies of the book were sold to benefit The Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration and Bideawee, an animal welfare organization. The book presents short love poems that Jerry wrote each morning before heading off to work,...

It's a noble tradition. Think of Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady," Richard Burton in "Camelot," Anthony Quinn in "Zorba," Katharine Hepburn in "Coco," and Lauren Bacall in "Applause." And the list goes on. When accomplished actors who are untrained and inexperienced in the demanding disciplines of musical theater courageously jump off the diving board to leap headfirst into the genre, it can be a frightening yet exhilarating swim. The challenges are enormous, but the rewards can be sweet.Fresh off his five-year run on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," Emmy-nominated stage and screen actor T.R. Knight has taken on the multifaceted role of Leo Frank, an ill-fated Jewish factory superintendent in 1913 Atlanta, in an acclaimed revival of the fact-based, Tony-winning musical drama "Parade" by composer-lyricist Jason Robert Brown and librettist Alfred Uhry. The production is currently playing at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. The payoffs for Knight have been intense personal satisfaction,...
