Acting his Age
In To Rome With Love, Woody Allen returns to in front of the camera where he plays a retired opera impresario, married to Judy Davis. We're just thankful Allen, 76, now seems safely past the romance-with-a-younger-woman phase. Alison Pill, 26, plays his daughter and not his love interest.

Breaking Bad: back, briefly, and bloody good
It's the summertime series return that many TV fans have been buzzing about -- AMC's Breaking Bad reinstalls itself in prime time this Sunday (9 p.m., AMC), beginning a split-season run toward what's sure to be a sizzling series finale. Bryan Cranston, the tube's best dramatic actor for the past half-decade, takes Walter White to an even darker place.

More sympathy for the devil
Mick Jagger has long been a busy boy. Among the Rolling Stones lead singer's 4,000-plus sexual conquests are French first lady Carla Bruni and British rock star David Bowie. This according to American celebrity biographer Christopher Anderson in Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger, which has just been released. Mick (or Mike, as his folks always called him) did not co-operate.
