'Dexter' returns for the kill

The blazing morning sun promises another triple-digit day, and inside Stage 16 at Sunset Gower Studios, things already have heated up.

Michael C. Hall still hasn't broken a sweat, though, as he moves with steely quickness in a pivotal scene for Showtime's "Dexter," in which he plays a blood analysis expert for Miami's finest who spends his off-hours offing bad guys.

At the moment, Dexter Morgan is carefully manipulating blood samples.

Then he pauses.

With no dialogue, the day's call sheet reveals Dexter's voice-over in which he's torn but resolved about framing an innocent man to cover his own misdeeds, even if it goes against a tenet of his father's: Never hurt the innocent.

"But there's also the No. 1 rule," the voice-over continues: "Don't get caught."

Wouldn't want that to happen -- considering there's a city rife with cold-blooded killers ripe for execution.

"Dexter," which returns Sunday, is one of those dark, complex cable dramas with a tragic, yet appealing antihero -- the sociopath we love to root for.

"The days of 'Magnum, P.I.' are gone," says executive producer Clyde Phillips. "Part of what we love in our antiheroes now is that shadow side, that part of what we love in ourselves because we all have that shadow."

As the second season opens, it's some 38 days after Dexter saves the city, and foster sister Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter), by murdering his only brother, the notorious Ice Truck Killer.

"For all that was resolved (last season), there are some really open wounds for Dexter," says Hall in his trailer during a break as he fusses with the laces on his sneakers. "I mean Dexter, on all fronts, has people closing in on him."

What with Sgt. Doakes (Erik King) stalking him around every corner, even leading Dexter's ally, Lt. Maria LaGuerta (Lauren Velez), to believe that Dex may have something to hide. And his girlfriend, Rita Bennett (Julie Benz), suspects him of framing her ex-husband and sending him to prison.

The noose tightens even more when evidence of Dexter's killing sprees surface, bringing FBI serial-killer hunter Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), out on the prowl. He's teaming with Dexter's own comrades on the force, Angel Batista (David Zayas), Vincent Masuka (C.S. Lee) and Debra.

Now Dexter finds himself unable to relax or kill.

"I cant believe how stressful this guy's life is," Hall says, "and he can't talk about it with anybody."

Except with those closest to him -- the viewers.

"I'll tell you, if you couldn't hear his internal dialogue I think it would be a very different story," Velez says of Hall's haunting voice-overs, which offer glimpses into the mind of this madman. "That's the genius of the show."

It premiered with a positive critical push and became the highest-rated drama on the channel, according to Showtime President Robert Greenblatt, and he gave the show an early second-season greenlight after only five episodes.

"I hesitate to use the word because it can signify something that is dull or boring," says Carradine, an admitted fan, "but this show appeals on a more intellectual level, but it's a viscerally entertaining show."

Carpenter offers: "It's kind of like Showtime serving up this really stiff drink and every once in a while they are going to throw it in your face, but you'll still keep coming back. It's intoxicating."

And sometimes perplexing.

"One of the great things about Dexter is that he means something different to different people," says co-executive producer Daniel Cerone of the character based on the Jeff Lindsay novels.

"You can talk to one fan of the show and they connect with this guy's insatiable need to kill," Cerone continues. "Then you talk to another fan who thinks Dexter's a good guy killing bad guys. It can be confusing but it's accessible to people because they can bring their own moral center to the show."

The thing that the show aims to explore, says executive producer John Goldwyn, are the absolutes: Am I absolutely evil or am I absolutely good? The answers lie in Dexter's relationship with his foster father, former cop Harry Morgan (James Remar, who's seen in flashbacks).

"Therein lies the eternal conflict," Goldwyn says. "Did Harry make him the way he is, or was he born the way he is? Is it nature or is it nurture?"

'Dancing' co-host has baby girl

"Dancing with the Stars" co-host Samantha Harris has a new star in her life: She gave birth Sunday to a baby girl, her publicist said.

Josselyn Sydney Hess weighed 6 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. Both mother and child were doing well, publicist Shara Koplowitz said.

It's the first child for Harris, 33, and her husband Michael Hess, a financial wholesaler.

Harris is also an "E! News" correspondent. Before joining E!, Harris was a weekend host for "Extra." She also has worked as a special correspondent for "Good Morning America" and has sat in as a guest host on "The View."

The fifth season of "Dancing with the Stars" premieres Monday. Who will sit in for Harris remains a mystery.

"They told me we'll just have to wait and see," Koplowitz said. "It's a surprise."

Pitt: Tabloids haven't changed in 100 years

While news about Jesse James crawled its way across 19th-century America -- compared to today's lightning-fast Internet -- the tone was uncannily comparable to today's celebrity coverage, Brad Pitt found in reading those old accounts.

"I will say, I was surprised to see how tabloid journalism was alive and well even then and operating in the same way, just sensationalizing a complete fabrication of untruths," said Brad Pitt, who stars as the legendary outlaw in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."

"There's just more of it today. There's more of it in quantity, but the execution's the same. In that day, when you only had a newspaper to get your information, that would have been the extent of it. But it doesn't seem to have changed at all," Pitt told The Associated Press at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Pitt and Angelina Jolie, stars of the 2005 hit "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," have been the quarry of celebrity photographers and the object of incessant tabloid gossip since they hooked up amid the breakup of Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston. A media vigil preceded the birth of their daughter in Namibia last year, and crowds swelled during the Toronto festival everywhere they went.

In the late 1800s, James was able to move anonymously through America under a series of aliases, but his notoriety was unparalleled. James' image as a Robin Hood-style bandit of the people -- a myth he helped perpetuate himself -- had made him a folk hero to the public and a demon to the railroads.

Based on Ron Hansen's novel, "Assassination of Jesse James" dissects the James myth to present a charismatic man in the last year of his life, as his sense of security crumbles and he is overwhelmed by paranoia that associates are selling him out to the law.

Into James' inner circle comes young idolator Ford (Casey Affleck), who has grown up on romanticized stories of the outlaw's deeds. Initially an intimate, Ford later becomes an object of scorn for Pitt's increasingly unpredictable James.

Ford eventually feels compelled to become James' executioner, coming to believe it's almost a civic duty.

"I don't know what led to his idea, the need to destroy the very thing that he worshipped, but that's certainly what's going on here. You have a demoralized boy, a boy who's subject to humiliation, and in his quiet hours has this lust for the Jesse James celebrity, the Jesse James phenomenon," said Pitt, 43.

"Then at the point where he meets Jesse James, meets his idol, and his idol spurns him, it becomes that thing, needing to destroy the thing you love to become equal with it again."

At two hours, 40 minutes, "Assassination of Jesse James," which opened Friday in limited release, is a challenging tale, yet one that has drawn praise for the lyrical melancholy of its 19th-century landscapes and for the key performances. The film earned the best-actor prize at the Venice Film Festival for Pitt, a previous supporting-actor Academy Award nominee for "Twelve Monkeys" who could be in contention for a lead-actor Oscar this time.

The celebrity mystique that surrounds Pitt meshed well with the mythic nature of James, said Andrew Dominik, director of "Assassination of Jesse James."

"It was the sort of part that you could cast a movie star in and it would make sense," Dominik said. "It wouldn't be miscasting Brad, who you never really feel like you know on-screen. He's always retained kind of an essential mystery. He's not a person people really identify with. He's more of an object to them. They aspire to be him, but they don't really identify with him.

"Those were really good qualities for Jesse. They're both enigmatic and charismatic."

Pitt first caught widespread notice in a scene-stealing role in 1991's "Thelma & Louise" and went on to star in such films as "Legends of the Fall," "Spy Game," "Troy" and last year's acclaimed "Babel," co-starring Cate Blanchett.

Blanchett and Pitt reunite for next year's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Pitt's third film with David Fincher, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's story about a man who is born old and ages backward toward infancy.

"He's just so open. He's a great player. Brad loves a good idea and a good conversation, and I think that extends to acting, really," Blanchett said. "I think he's got a really good nose for what works, and I think people will be blown away by him in 'Benjamin Button.' "

Pitt now is shooting the Coen brothers' dark comedy "Burn After Reading" with George Clooney, his partner in crime in "Ocean's Eleven" and its two sequels.

While Pitt looks for roles that offer fresh dramatic possibilities, finding good work companions such as Clooney has become crucial in his job choices.

"As I get older, it's the company I keep," Pitt said. "It means something to me to have these friends out here and people I respect ... Most of the movie is spent when the camera's not rolling, and to work with these interesting people is really the most important thing to me."

With his production company Plan B, Pitt also is active as a producer whose credits include Jolie's recent drama "A Mighty Heart." (He also was a producer on "Assassination of Jesse James.")

Pitt jokes that the advantage of today's celebrity culture is that people are not carrying six-shooters around the way they did in James' day. Even so, as a new father, Pitt is mindful of the potential dangers that come with fame.

Along with their biological daughter, Pitt and Jolie have three children she adopted from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.

"It's something that I want to be aware of and be cautious about, especially with the family, that everybody's protected," Pitt said. "I mean it's rare, but there are imbalanced people out there. I've had break-ins in the house ... I've had some of these abnormal incidents that can be a bit frightening."

When Pitt or Jolie is working, the other takes time off to tend the children, who travel with them wherever they are filming.

"We just take turns and make sure we keep the family together," Pitt said.

Pitt is quick to acknowledge reporters' questions about his and Jolie's plans for more children.

"We're not done. They say, any plans for a fifth? And I say, 'And a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.' That's my answer. ...

"We also made a 9-foot-wide bed" that can fit him, Jolie and all four children, Pitt said. "Just big enough. One more and we'll have to go to 11 feet."

Britney Spears faces hit-run charge

LOS ANGELES, California -- Britney Spears' legal woes mounted Friday as prosecutors charged her with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August.

If convicted, the singer could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count, said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney's office.

Messages left with Spears' attorneys were not immediately returned.

The accident occurred August 6, Velasquez said.

Spears, 25, was filmed by paparazzi that day steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. After assessing the damage to her own car only, the video showed her walking away.

Three days after the accident, the owner of the other vehicle, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report, and investigators later determined that Spears does not have a license, officials said.

Robard-Rifkin, a 59-year-old registered nurse, learned it was Spears who had hit her car through a video posted on the celebrity Web site CelebTV.com.

She said she was "sort of amused and sort of shocked" when she learned Spears was the source of the damage, adding that she had expected to hear from the star's camp.

"I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody's car if I had done that," Robard-Rifkin told the site in August.

Spears was scheduled to be arraigned October 10, but she is not required to appear.

The case comes days after a court commissioner ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week in her child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline. She must also meet eight hours a week with a parenting coach, who will observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills.

Her management firm also recently dropped her, and her performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards was widely panned. Spears' new album is set for release November 13.

Brad Pitt Hopes His Kids Don’t Inherit His Dance Moves

Brad Pitt fills his kids’ days with singing and dancing, but says the time he cherishes most is bedtime.

“It is a really special time, a time I value and it’s that one-on-one time where you really ask the questions and I want to make sure they have that,” the 43-year-old actor told Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer on Friday.

The ritual stems from Pitt’s own childhood, which he told Sawyer about in 1997 on ABC’s Primetime. “The three of us siblings, we’d jump in our beds, separate rooms, and we’d all be yelling for [mom], because she’d take turns coming from room to room, right? And we’d just talk for hours sometimes. Just talk,” he said.

One thing Pitt, 43, doesn’t want to pass on to his kids – Maddox, 6, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1 – are his dance moves.

“We hope they’re not soaking up our moves because they’d be seriously lacking in their future. We’ll get them some proper training,” he said of himself and partner Angelina Jolie. “There’s a lot of dancing around the house, a lot of music time.”

In terms of what they dance to, Pitt says: “Wheels on the bus and there’s, you know, five monkeys jumping on a bed – [singing] no more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Thierry Henry faces record divorce payout

The wife of Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal footballer, has been granted a divorce after four years of marriage on the grounds of his behaviour.

Claire Merry, a model, was granted a decree nisi at the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division amid speculation that Henry, 30, could face the biggest ever divorce payout for a footballer.

The French international has an estimated fortune of £25 million.

There has been speculation that Ms Merry, 27, is asking for a £10 million settlement.

Under British law, Henry could be forced to pay out half his wealth.

The couple, who have a two year-old daughter named Tea, met while filming a Renault Clio advert.

They shared a six-bedroom house in Hampstead, north London, which Henry bought for £5.95 million five years ago.

The footballer announced he was leaving Ms Merry in June, just before his transfer to Barcelona, where he is reportedly paid £130,000 a week.

His wife was said to be unhappy about moving to the Spanish city and upset when Henry walked out on their marriage.

Since then, the footballer is said to have developed a close friendship with a Spanish actress.

None of the parties was present yesterday as the divorce was rubber-stamped.

It will be at least six weeks before a decree absolute can be granted.

Experts have predicted that a judge could order a “clean break”, with Ms Merry receiving a lump sum rather than a proportion of his future earnings.

She was granted a decree nisi on the grounds of his behaviour, according to court papers.

In documents made available after the divorce was granted, Ms Merry was asked whether Henry’s behaviour had affected her health to which she replied that the question was “not applicable”.
