• Two emmy-winning CBS stars will be headlining shows in New York next year: Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory" will portray Elwood in the Broadway revival of "Harvey" this spring and Alan Cumming of "The Good Wife" will play every role in a National Theater Scotland production of "Macbeth."

• Entertainment Weekly discusses a new book about Hedy Lamarr, a beautiful actress from the 1930s and 1940s who was also a brilliant scientist. I'm calling that there will be a movie based on this book within five years and may actually be good.
