Interview: Catherine O'Hara

Catherine O'Hara is my idea of the ultimate funny aunt. At the Royal York Hotel for a roundtable interview with Toronto press promoting Where the Wild Things Are , she is high-spirited, fast-talking, and engaged to an extent that is downright noble for someone who has been woken up early for a day of inane interviews.

Jane Lynch, long on talent and short on significant roles, is having a breakthrough year

Jane Lynch is having a very big year, and it's tempting to believe that this is a sign, perhaps from God, and that things will soon be turning around for the rest of us.
