The folk of Double Take spend much of their first episode successfully sending up other TV shows

Megan Fox spins Down to Play link Girl


Megan Fox, has reportedly turned down the chance to play a Bond girl, but would consider playing a villain in the British spy franchise. She was reportedly lined up by producers to play one of the suave British spy's conquests but she didn't believe the part would further her career. Earlier this year, Megan - who recently denied claims she will replace Angelina Jolie in the new Tomb Raider movie - was linked to the role of She-Hulk. She is favourite to portray the giant green female in the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series about The Incredible Hulk's cousin. She-Hulk comics are popular so it's only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen.

Swayze Rep Rips Heart Attack Reports


The National Enquirer seems to believe Patrick Swayze has suffered a heart attack, but a rep for the ailing actor gives that tabloid report a roundhouse kick to the curb.
"He's well," the rep tells Access Hollywood. "He's continuing his treatment and doing very well, actually. Contrary to reports, he did not suffer a heart attack." Not only that, but Swayze "has even gained a little weight," the unnamed rep said.
The 'Roadhouse' and 'Dirty Dancing' star has indeed been looking better these days. Recent photos show him looking less lean and healthier, in spit of his ongoing battle with pancreatic cancer.

Jackson's Doctor's workplace attacked by Feds


National and local agents have searched the office of Dr. Conrad Murray looking for clues into Michael Jackson's death, according to Usmagazine.com..
TMZ is reporting that the Drug Enforcement Agency arrived at Murray's office, along with LAPD detectives and Houston cops, looking specifically for Jackson's medical records.
Although the raid was conducted, his lawyer Ed Chernoff says it doesn't mean criminal charges for the doctor.
"The coroner wants to clear up the cause of death, we share that goal. We don't have access to the most important information in this case ... the toxicology report. We're still in the dark like everybody else. Based on Dr. Murray's minute-by-minute and item-by-item description of Michael Jackson's last days, he should not be a target of criminal charges," Chernoff claims.

Who can fill Paula's pin-up Throne?


Its gotta very clear: we don't think the hubbub about Paula Abdul leaving 'American Idol,' not for one hot minute. perhaps we just can't picture the FOX talent show without one of its three pioneer judges... but Simon Cowell agrees with us, and when his gut talks, we're inclined to listen.
Paula's best fernery told Extra, "She'll be fine. She'll be on the show," and despite her manager's ambivalence, we're going to take Simon's word for it. With all this chatter, though, we've been forced to consider a judges' table sans Paula. Who would we like to see join Randy, Kara and Simon if - somehow - Paula were not forever our girl? Check out all ten suggestions after the jump.
