Queen Elizabeth has been immortalized on canvas yet again.
The newest portrait of the record-breaking monarch was unveiled Friday morning at Windsor Castle. Painted by Canadian artist Henry Ward, it honors the Queen’s six decades of support for the British Red Cross.
It is the first time the 90-year-old ruler has been depicted as patron of the charity, which aids people in crisis in the U.K. and overseas. She is portrayed wearing her Garter robes, diamond earrings and a bracelet and tiara that belonged to Queen Alexandra. (It’s likely the Kokoshnik tiara.) The bust in the...

This past March, we first heard about Knifeman, a TV series that is being developed by David Cronenberg. We haven’t heard anything about the project since then, but a lead actor has now been cast.
Tim Roth will be playing radical surgeon John Tattersall, according to Deadline. The project is based on The Knife Man, a biography of eighteenth century surgeon John Hunter, so we aren’t sure if the name change is due to a typo or if the project only loosely based on the source material.
Book Synopsis: “The Knife Man, relates the life of maverick 18th-century surgeon John Hunter. From humble Scottish origins, John Hunter rose to become the most famous anatomist and surgeon of the eighteenth century. In an age when operations were crude, extremely painful and often fatal, Hunter rejected medieval traditions based on ancient Greek orthodoxy to forge a revolution in surgery founded on pioneering scientific experiments.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cronenberg will direct the pilot episode and serve as an executive producer on the series, which is based on The Knife Man, a biography of eighteenth century surgeon John Hunter. From author Wendy Moore’s website:

London, Jan 7: George Clooney has revealed that at the beginning of his Hollywood career, he was so desperate to land auditions that he created an agent character to do his own bidding.
The Descendants star felt that he was being represented by a "really c**py agency" at the time and he didn't think his agents were working hard enough for him.
"I was dating a girl who worked at the agency. So I created this character, Josh Reynolds, who was an agent...," the Daily Express quoted him as telling Entertainment Weekly magazine.
"I would call casting directors and pitch myself, and then when they would call back and.

George Clooney played a candidate for president in this year's hit "The Ides of March," but don't expect him to be on the campaign trail the next two months.
The star, who already has Golden Globe nods this year for Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for "Ides" and Best Actor for "The Descendents," tells Entertainment Weekly that he won't be using his considerable charm to stump for gold.
"You use the word 'campaign.' I've actually done it where it was like a campaign, like kissing babies," he said. "You can justify it by saying, 'I'm helping the movie,' but you cross a line where it feels like you're only helping yourself. And it starts to feel unclean. So I haven't done that version of it since then. I didn't do it for 'Up in the Air' or 'Michael Clayton.' So the word 'campaigning' isn't part of it anymore.
