Hollywood's still holding its breath. The potential for a strike by the Screen Actors Guild or a possible lockout of the union's roughly 120,000 members by the studios will be greatly influenced by the results of rival union AFTRA's contract ratification vote. Ballots are due back Monday with the results expected to be announced Tuesday.

CORONATION STREET Whodunnit - Who kills Liam Connor?CORONATION STREET's sexy star Rob James-Collier who plays Liam Connor has decided to quit the show. The former knicker factory boss will be killed off in a sensational story line later this year.

Dunn reveals Christian Bale crush

"Oh my god, he's so fit!" she told the Daily Star. "I think he is the best Batman that there has ever been and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. I was starstruck by the whole experience - it was incredible, I loved it. I am not allowed to say too much about it because they want to keep everything a big secret, but I can't wait for it to come out."
Weymouth scrubs up well in soap
EASTENDERS will feature footage of its Weymouth visit at the end of this week.

INTERVIEW: IMAGINARY BITCHES creative force Andrew Miller
"I was watching a band play at the Troubador in Los Angeles (Au Revoir Simone). They were three girls standing behind stacks of keyboards. And they kind of looked "imaginary". I thought, if someone had imaginary friends, I bet that’s what they’d look like. Then I thought of Eden (as I do much of the time). And started thinking about her with the imaginary friends. And then I just thought it would be funny if the friends were bitchy and a pain in the ass to have around. Then I wondered why Eden might have them to begin with – and I came up with the idea that she created them because her real friends bailed on her. And then it occurred to me that even if they were bitchy, they’d be good to have around - that they could actually help Eden grow as a character."
