Okay, it’s The Sun. I know. But a fun rumor nonetheless. Here’s the juicy aside, via Lumenick On Film: George is very keen — he’s been trying to do a movie with Johnny for a long time. He thinks they’ll make the perfect on-screen partnership. Well, personally, I would find it difficult not to laugh […]

But anyway, sorry for getting ahead of myself this afternoon. EARLIER: So…what do we think about this? The news has broken out of the […]
