Jessica Simpson as Dazzler?

Yeah... I read the rumor ages ago on Dark Horizons too, but now Cinescape is reporting it as thus...

And a week later Dark Horizons story has landed in The Irish Examiner. That paper now reports the Simpson/X-MEN 3 rumor -- except they say she has "landed" a role in X3. Quoting a source, the paper reports "They will possibly give her a small role in X-MEN 3 as a lounge-singer to introduce the character of Dazzler."

All I have to say is, if the above is true, it better be very small, quick and quiet. Jessica Simpson? Dazzler? X3? :cringes: Let's all hope The Irish Examiner is very wrong.

A little editing because SHH is now reporting...
Jessica Simpson has NOT been cast in X3. Let's hope it *stays* this way!

First IY movie on Cartoon Network

This is for the "Inuyasha" fans on my friends list, but apparently Cartoon Network will air the first "Inuyasha" movie (Love That Transcends Time) sometime in the Spring '05. I think this came out about two years ago in Japan? It's cute and worth a watch, although not sure it's worth this long a wait. No idea why Viz has been sitting on their hands with it. IY looks like it's doing really well stateside (despite a rather unfortunate dub and CN's perpetual rescheduling), but you'd think Viz would strike while the iron is hot and push out the movie(s) faster than this. Eh. At least the US has it now. There are a few drawbacks to the movie. The story isn't canon (not uncommon with anime spin-off movies, but ... eh), the movie animation is different then the series (I prefer series) and Sesshoumaru is almost non-existant. He actually doesn't get any kind of part in the movies until the third unfortunately. *sighs* Fluffy. He's so the money.

Forgot to add, the first movie will also have limited theatrical release in a few US cities. I say save your money and wait until it's on CN... unless it's between this and "Catwoman"... then by all means, go see the IY movie.

A fourth IY movie is also on the way, coming out this December in Japan I think. Although what I hear of the story? It doesn't do anything for me (lots of IY / Kikyou. Meh).
