WHILE YOU WERE WISHING YOU WERE RIC OCASEK

• Charlize Theron is being lined up to star in a film about Dusty Springfield. In other words, after playing ugly for Oscars, she's switched to the Reese Witherspoon model.
• King Kong has been voted the best movie of 2005, earning it the top prize at the Empire Awards. For those of you not familiar with the Empire Awards, it is the award given by the World Gorilla Association. 
• Speaking of King Kong, Jack Black has reportedly eloped with his girlfriend, Tanya Haden.  Let's hope she doesn't go Yoko on Tenacious D.
• Will Ferrell is not dead. 
• The Cars are getting back together, with Todd Rundgren taking over for Ric Ocasek. I'll bet he'd rather take over for Ric as Paulina Porizkova's husband! 
• Vince Vaughan wants Jennifer Aniston to gain 20 pounds so he's giving her lots of sweets and booze. If anyone knows how to put on 20 pounds, it's Vince Vaughn.
