The Sleaford Mods watch themselves perform in the video for “Second,” off their upcoming retrospective album, All That Glue, out May 15 via Rough Trade.
In the Robin Lee-directed clip, two actresses (Kate Dickie and Emma Stansfield) portray Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn in the Mods’ early days when they frequently played pubs. The women are pitch-perfect, down to Williamson’s Fred Perry polo shirt and Fearn’s omnipresent beer. The electronic duo is known for their unorthodox stage setup — Fearn turns on the beats and shuffles in place while Williamson loses it.

Emma Thompson has revealed that she would have jumped at the chance to play the lead role in Doctor Who if it had ever been offered to her.
The Hollywood star has been linked to the role of the Doctor by the tabloids in the past, but during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the actress revealed that she had never been seriously approached by the programme.
"I would have said yes," she told Norton. "I'd have loved to have played Doctor Who."

Marcel, one of Hollywood's hottest scriptwriters, is keen to talk about her debut film, Oscar-tipped Saving Mr Banks. But what can she reveal about her next blockbuster, Fifty Shades of Grey?
For a woman who spends her days in a shed, the Kelly Marcel story has a lot to pack in. Right now the name will ring few bells, but any account of her professional life must find room for Steven Spielberg, Holby City, Walt Disney and the tattoos of actor Tom Hardy. It would be nice to have a screenwriter on hand to knock it into shape – one like Marcel herself, among the most sought-after writers in Hollywood, working from the bottom of her south-west London garden.
Perhaps we should cut straight to the mention of what will surely be a landmark in her career, her script for the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Abruptly, the mood...

"Mad, and your brothers and sisters, there is no greater honor than being your mom." Marcheline Bertrand, who died...

"Tetro" actor Alden Ehrenreich has replaced "Skins" star Jack O’Connell in the Richard Lagravanese-directed adaptation of "Beautiful Creatures" reports Heat Vision.
An adaptation of the first book from the popular series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the Southern-set story follows two high school teens and star-crossed lovers who must confront dark secrets that have haunted their families for generations.
O’Connell was to have played the young male lead but has had to step aside “due to scheduling conflicts". Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons, Emmy Rossum, Alice Anglert and Thomas Mann also star.
Broderick Johnson, Andrew Kosove and Erwin Stoff are producing. Shooting is due to begin later this month in New Orleans.

With the massive success of "The Hunger Games," fans, studios and pundits alike are already wondering what will be the next big franchise to follow in its footsteps.
One young adult novel adaptation that's popped up everywhere from The Hollywood Reporter to the Los Angeles Times and gazillions of blogs in between is one we've been covering since our site launched more than a year ago: "Beautiful Creatures," by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
The book follows Southern teen Ethan Wate as he falls in love with the gorgeous and mysterious Lena, who turns out to be a witch-like Caster. The movie – due in theaters next February – has been on a casting tear, tapping the likes of Emma Thompson, Viola Davis and Jeremy Irons to play some of the grown-up leads alongside newcomers Alice Englert and Jack O'Connell, who are taking on the roles of Lena and Ethan, respectively.

The new series of Doctor Who comes to BBC1 and BBC America next Saturday, April 23, with Matt Smith saying he has no intention of leaving the role.
But that hasn't stopped fans suggesting who they might want to take up residence in the Tardis in the future.
For a while, there has been talk about seeing a woman in the role.
And a new survey has found that devotees of the hit show name Helena Bonham Carter as the ideal choice to be the first female Doctor Who.
For the full list of contenders, click below.
Bonham Carter was Oscar-nominated for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in award-laden drama The King's Speech, and will be seen on screen in July reprising her role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the final Harry Potter film.

British actors sound clearly different at Us award ceremonies but these days you'd never know it on film
You probably won't remember Bonar Colleano (or unmemorable films starring him, like Good-time Girl). He was thin and, well, bony, with slicked-back hair, and just 34 when his car crashed 53 years ago. But he made a good living in British movies for a decade before that because he came from New York City, and was thus available to play GIs and mobsters on demand in a natural American accent Britain's homegrown B-movie actors couldn't mimic for love or for money. But now see how the world has changed.
Here's Christian Bale from Haverfordwest at the Oscars tonight after doing raw Massachusetts to the manner born. And, turning on the television, there's Hugh Laurie from Oxford still playing in House. That drunken McNulty cop in The Wire? Dominic West from Eton. (He could have been David Cameron's fag.

How would you cast the prime minister's biopic?
Now that Gordon Brown's political career is traversing the final segment of its narrative arc, it can't be long before someone proposes a film (or TV drama, more likely) charting its highs and lows. It may be too soon to write the ending of the prime minister's story, but it's not too early to start thinking about the cast. Who would play whom?
Gordon Brown Brown has been assayed by a surprising number of actors already, including David Morrissey, Peter Mullan and Tony Slattery. But based on the idea that, from an acting point of view, the latter-day Brown is basically Nixon with a Scottish accent, either Frank Langella or Anthony Hopkins would serve. Failing that, Philip Seymour Hoffman – he could probably play anyone.
Sarah Brown As a quiet, dignified, stabilising presence, Sarah Brown really isn't much of a part. Emma Thompson...
