Baron-Cohen’s Bruno Disrupts Medium Set

Production on Patricia Arquette’s hit TV drama “Medium” came to a halt on November 7 when comic Sacha Baron-Cohen invaded the set as his fashion reporter creation Bruno.

Filming was temporarily shut down as Baron-Cohen, posing as an extra, was forcibly removed from the set after interrupting a tense courtroom scene.

An insider for the show tells EW.com, “No one had a clue it was Sacha playing Bruno. It’s amazing he was able to infiltrate the set and pull this off.”

It’s not the first time Cohen has hit the headlines for his crazy antics this year. He has disrupted fashion shows, political rallies and launches all over the globe, filming guerrilla segments for his new film “Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt.”

‘Medium’ Summons Tracy Pollan

Remember a little show on NBC called Medium? The one about the psychic with the super cool hubby? It earned Patricia Arquette an Emmy? Well, it’s (finally) returning in January — and with a nifty new castmember, to boot!

Michael J. Fox’s actress-wife, Tracy Pollan, has been tapped to appear in a three-episode arc during the show’s upcoming fifth season, sources confirm to me exclusively. She’ll play Caitlyn, a corporate intuitionist who befriends Arquette’s Allison and attempts to bring her to the corporation she works for because of her gift.

This marks Pollan’s first major series gig since doing a two-episode stint on Law & Order: SVU more than eight years ago.

A Single Woman Movie

Posted by mima On November - 2 - 2008

Somehow this movie project had completely slipped through my radar but it’s better late than never… Right?

Patricia is a storyteller in A Single Woman, a film adaptation of the successful stage play about the life of Jeannette Rankin, America’s first Congresswoman and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Suffragist, peace activist, and reformer, Jeannette changed the American political landscape forever. A Single Woman illuminates the role of the individual in the American legislative process.
