We previously mentioned that Fox won't make you wait until January for a taste of some new 24.

The network hopes to satiate your hunger for Jack Bauer with a 2-hour TV movie on November 23rd.

Well, new details about the film have emerged.

The movie will be called 24: Exile and it's meant to tee up the show's January 2009 7th season premiere.

The movie takes place on Inauguration Day, just as Noah Daniels is handing the presidential reins to Allison Taylor, a military coup begins in a fictional African country.

Jack Bauer has escaped to Africa after Season 6 to help an old buddy who runs a school that rescues child soldiers.

As expected, Jack will save the day.

Exile was shot in Africa and the storyline "was current, it was emotional and it really centered around children affected by these wars, from Rwanda to Zimbabwe," who are recruited as fighters, 24 star Kiefer Sutherland says in an interview.

He went on to say, "The idea of starting out with such an emotional, tangible thing just rooted it in kind of a human element that did not deal in a massive catastrophe, like an atomic bomb or a bioweapon hazard."

Angelina Jolie's daddy, Jon Voight, will play the 'bad' guy in the movie and in the 7th season.

Sounds hot!

Thumbnail image for 0707_nicole_kidman_cma_03.jpg Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have quietly thumbed their noses at celebs brokering baby photo deals. Probably not a smart move because I'm pretty sure Angelina Jolie could take Nicole in a fight. In fact, in the sake of research, I'm going to imagine such a battle right now. "Pow! BAM! Ziff! Use the battering ram, Nicole!" While I'm performing my journalistic duties, scope out what a friend of Nicole's told the Sydney Morning Herald. "BOFF! Eek! Ease up, Angelina. She's Australian!":
"They don't think it's appropriate to make deals. They are still deciding how they feel about - if and when they will release a photo at all. But they realise there is enormous interest from the public and they are grateful and appreciative of that," the source said.
Damn, if they're just giving them away, I'll get in on that. Give me two 8 x 10s and some wallets. I can't guarantee I won't pretend I'm a single father to pick up chicks at the mall - because I'm going to. So, can you maybe Photoshop Sunday Rose a bit? You know, make her look like the fruit of my loins. Just add a knife between her teeth and eyes that can see into a woman's soul. (Read: Give her those X-Ray glasses with the spirals for lenses.)

Thumbnail image for 0612_angelina_jolie_panda_08.jpg Angelina Jolie's babies are fresh out of the womb and already their pictures have become the holy grail of tabloid journalism. While Jamie Lynn Spears and Jessica Alba netted $1 million for their spawn, Angelina's twins are about to wreck some shit. Somehow, this proves my point that babies should be allowed to fight in UFC matches. E! Online reports:
Insiders are speculating the pics will go for between $15 million to $20 million. In fact, one photo-agency owner guesses that the only other thing that could possibly demand that much money is “Britney Spears giving birth to an alien.”
Okay, it's only fair that I mention Brad and Angelina donate all the proceeds to charity, so you know they're not money hungry assholes. In the meantime, whatever that guy said about Britney birthing an alien, I'll take some of those. I don't really have money to pay for them, but I do have these nifty coupons I hand out to my co-workers. Check it out: This one's good for a "Free coffee run." And this one gets you a "Great job!" I used to have some that were good for a massage, but I'm not allowed to hand those out anymore. Something about a lawsuit and sexual harassment, I dunno. I was too busy making coupons for "A photocopy of my wiener."

Thumbnail image for 0612_angelina_jolie_panda_11.jpg If the Earth started to feel a little more crowded this weekend, that's because Angelina Jolie birthed her twins, a boy Knox Leon and a girl Vivienne Marcheline, late Saturday night. Compared to their siblings, these two got off easy in the name department. Angelina's obstetrician Dr. Michael Sussmann updated the press on everyone's condition - then handed out lollipops; he's that good. The AP reports:
"He was very happy. ... The emotion was very strong for him," Sussmann told reporters on the hospital steps. "I felt the emotion of both the mother and the father. Angelina Jolie was speaking, was laughing with her husband. They were happy."
"The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well," he said.
While this is great news for Angelina and Brad, this is terrible news for me. I lost the office pool. Here's the names I picked. I dunno how I didn't win: BOYS: Captain America. Jon Voight Just Kidding I Still Hate you Daddy. Maddox. (He won't mind.) GIRLS: Licorice Petunia. ~. (Pronounced "Squiggly line thingy.") Melissa. Congrats to the Pitt-Jolie clan! Please don't assimilate me.
