O'Neal Keeps Her Job
Troubled actress Tatum O'Neal has kept her job on TV show Rescue Me, despite her recent drug arrest. The star was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after cops caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her New York home. She claimed the incident was her first lapse in sobriety after a longterm battle with drug addition. And bosses on the FX network program are keen to give her the chance to prove herself. O'Neal had already filmed two episodes for the fifth season - and co-creator Peter Tolan expects her character Maggie to return. He tells BuddyTV.com, "We want to bring her back, and I haven't heard anything about why she wouldn't be available to us. It's a misdemeanour, so she's not going to do time, and nobody has said to us we can't insure her or anything like that. So I'm assuming she's available to us and it's 'business as usual.'"

‘Umbrella’ Watch 2008: Is Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ the Song of the Summer?
From now until something displaces last year's "Umbrella" from the top of our iTunes most-played list, Vulture will be judging the contenders for this year's Song of the Summer.
Were the universe governed by logic and reason, the title track from Coldplay's just-leaked fourth album wouldn't stand a chance of being this year's big summer hit. It's catchy, sure, but there are barely any drums, meaning it's hard to dance to, and its lyrics are about a rich world leader being reduced to a street sweeper (or some such nonsense), making it an awkward fit on a beach-party playlist. Also, as Idolator points out today, it's a no-show on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart, mostly because radio stations are still pushing the album's first, equally dour single "Violet Hill." Obviously none of this matters, though, because it's in an Apple commercial, which — since the record labels can no longer afford payola — is probably the last remaining surefire way to turn a gloomy half-ballad by a bunch of self-important British miserabilists into a chart hit. Predictably, it's currently the most-downloaded track on iTunes, at least until commercials for the new iPhone arrive next week.

The OC's Barton faces four charges
'The OC' star Mischa Barton is facing four misdemeanour charges following her drink-driving arrest last year.
The Associated Press reports that, according to court papers, Barton was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08% or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid licence and possession of 28.5g or less of marijuana.
Barton's attorney Anthony V Salerno said he was pleased his client was only charged with misdemeanours.
He said: "The DA's office is to be commended for treating this case the same as it would any other matter; Ms. Barton has received no special treatment."
Barton was arrested in West Hollywood on 27 December after officers saw her car in two lanes of traffic and failing to indicate for a turn.
The actress is due to be arraigned on Thursday in the Beverly Hills Superior Court.

Takeshi Kaneshiro - John Woo Movie Halted After Stuntman Dies In Fire
Production on John Woo's new movie Chi Bi, or The Battle of Red Cliff, has been stopped after a stuntman died in a serious fire.
A stuntman named by the AFP news agency as 23-year-old stuntman Lu Yanqing was killed after fire broke out during filming of a scene on the historical epic, while three others were injured in the incident.
"The fire broke out early Monday morning when the crew were shooting a scene in which a small, smoking boat crashed with a large ancient war vessel," Xinhua news agency said.
Though the cause of the fire has not yet been determined, it has said that crew at the northern Beijing location saw a flame shoot some 30 metres into the air.
The film, which has an $80 million (£40 million) budget, has been billed as Asia's biggest cinema production and features actors such as Tony Leung, Zhang Fengyi and Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Set in the Three Kingdoms period of ancient China between 220 and 280 AD, Chi Bi is adapted from the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and culminates in the titular battle of Red Cliff in which some 2,000 ships were burned.
According to the Beijing News, Woo was in Hong Kong and not on set at the time of the accident.

Kiss - Simmons Slams Boring Bands
KISS star GENE SIMMONS has slammed bands like RADIOHEAD for putting on boring live shows - insisting fans deserve to see spectacular performances from their idols.
Simmons is convinced that because fans often pay a lot of money to go a concert, groups have a responsibility to make it worth their while.
And the guitarist can't stand it when bands put minimal effort into their shows.
He says, "I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? F**k that, get up on stage and blow s**t up!
"Bands that stand by their microphones and strum their guitars are forgetting one important point - people are bringing their eyes, it's audio and visual. If you're not fulfilling the visual part it's like watching a movie with your eyes closed.
"One of the biggest compliments we get is (when people say), 'I f**king hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life.'"
