SARA A. BIBEL: Textual Analysis
"SOAPnet's Sugar Free Valentine's Day promotion is a bright spot in the network's quest to become the poor woman's WE. The promos featuring actors recounting the worst pick-up lines they've ever heard and singing cheesy love songs are a lot of fun. They're also giving away one of the funniest sweepstakes prizes ever: a virtual boyfriend for a year."

Stephen Graham has to be one of the happiest men in showbiz. Not only does he have gangster flick The Crew hitting cinemas on January 12, but he is also possibly lined up his dream job.
The Liverpool-born star, whose previous credits include a stint in CORONATION STREET, said: "I've just been asked to play Al Capone with Martin Scorsese, so that might be the dream role. Weirdly enough, it's by the same people that made The Sopranos. It's going to be HBO's new series."
