Ricky Gervais Show, HBO has a bit of artwork up on HBO depicting the three main characters of the upcoming animated The Ricky Gervais Show: Stephen Merchant, Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington. The three men have been recording podcasts for years. In the beginning the podcasts were free through iTunes, but when they became incredibly popular, iTunes started charging for them. Now there’s a TV series based on the antics of Karl, with commentary by Ricky and Stephen. I’m genuinely intrigued; I want to see more. But the premiere isn’t until February.

In the meantime, the new F/X animated comedy Archer premieres Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. ET. You may have guessed from the late timeslot that this cartoon is strictly for adults. You would be right. I’ve seen the first three episodes and they are 1) High-larious 2) Dirty as all get out and 3) Offensive to all races, creeds, sizes and sexes. My favorite line is, “Johnny Bench called.” You just have to see it.

When Brit actress Helen Mirren’s husband, Taylor Hackford, first saw her dressed up as British monarch Queen Elizabeth II in a movie role, he was so shocked that he burst out laughing.

Mirren, 64, had even won an Oscar for her portrayal of the royal in 2006 movie ‘The Queen’, but her husband had never seen her in the costume that gave her the monarch’s looks until he watched the film’s premiere.

Hackford, 64, was so surprised by his wife’s transformation that he ended up laughing during the screening, much to the embarrassment of Mirren.

“Taking on the role of the Queen in Stephen Frears’ film was an incredibly difficult decision for her. I hadn’t visited her on-set, and hadn’t seen her in the role until the premiere at the Venice film festival,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“The first image on the screen was the Queen sitting for a portrait, and she’s dressed in all her queenly drag.

“I was surprised and shocked. I just broke out laughing – and I have a very large laugh. She was saying, ‘Shhh! Stop it!’” he added.
