Chris Klein on Katie Holmes
and the Women in His Life
Why Chris Klein's publicist should probably sit in on his interviews or do a little bit of secret media training (www.perezhilton.com features this in his “topics” board):
From A.P.:
Regarding if he’ll contact ex Katie Holmes after her baby is born: "No, I don't think so," the 26-year-old actor told AP Radio in a recent interview.
"Her and my relationship is a time in the past. And it's a time that I'll always look back with in fondness, but her and I have moved on, and she has a separate life and I have a separate life. And it's better that we keep it that way."
(BTW, his mother is allegedly a teacher in Orange County. Methinks she wasn't correcting him early on saying, "Our" instead of "her and my" and "we" or "she and I" instead of "her and I" -- still, maybe she was just proud he was a football star in high school. Or maybe he just doesn't listen. We'd believe either explanation.)
From Elle:
"I don't need food to impress, man," boasts the cocky "American Pie" C-lister. "It's a flash of a smile and a nice conversation. And at the end of the day, she's cooking the food."
Klein says he's a "alpha heterosexual"and only dates "8 to 10's."
He's also doesn't "placate" -- if his partner gains weight. "I'm not tolerant of that at all." He says has no problem telling his lady friend to get in shape.
"When a woman isn't feeling good about herself and you combine that with her period, eventually she'll ask you if you like her body. You have to say no."
When the interviewer suggests that "they're just looking for you to say, 'You look beautiful to me, honey.'" "If they do, it's placating," he scoffs. "I don't placate."
He describes wooing a woman as a "predator-prey situation" and admitting he stays "very closed off until a woman deserves to know me completely." Asked if this approach makes it tough for potential partners to unravel the enigma that is Chris Klein, he replies, "Hey, man, I'm not here to hold hands and babysit. She's got to come to the table with something."
Klein also admits he fell in love with the majority of his female co-stars and counts them all as ones that got away. Klein adds, "I've got this policy that you don't sleep with them (co-stars); it complicates stuff. So it's the Heather Grahams, the Rebecca Romijns, the Mena Suvaris, and the Leelee Sobieskis of the world. They all got away."
Meanwhile, the actor admits he plans to stay friends with his ex, even though they no longer speak to one another. He states, "Are we friends? Absolutely. Do we talk? No."
Klein and Holmes dated for five years and were engaged Christmas 2003. Reports in mid-September 2004 emerged that Holmes was very anxious to marry, Klein less so, even though he proposed. They were engaged for a total of 14 months.
The couple had a public squabble at Maggiano’s. Reported Pagesix.Com (mid-September), "They came in holding hands, sat alone, and during the dinner Klein was heard delivering classic break-up lines like 'I need space, ' and 'it's not you, it's me'." But Holmes' representative insists they were arguing over their new house, not splitting up. The rep, who BeansTalk believes Leslie Sloan, added that the “I need space” was in reference to a house that she liked, but he didn’t.
The Klein/Holmes breakup was announced in March 2005. In mid-April 2005, Klein was picked up for DUI, with his blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit. Holmes began officially “dating” Tom Cruise a week-and-half later. Holmes actually had time between their early March break-up and her late April Cruise hook-up to be briefly linked with Josh Harnett. She has not announced her due date.

A young black man, Chris (Shaun Parkes, Casanova), has been admitted to the hospital following a psychotic episode. Because he exhibits paranoid behavior and hallucinates, Dr. Bruce Flaherty (John Simm, State of Play) fears that he’s schizophrenic and wants to work with him a while longer. But senior consultant, Dr. Robert Smith (Brian Cox, Match Point), believes there are perfectly good reasons for a black man to be paranoid in
As the plot unfolds, what viewers think about each of the three characters and their relationships to one another will constantly shift. Is Chris seriously ill, or is he simply mistrustful and misdiagnosed? Is Flaherty idealistic or completely neurotic? Does Smith believe what he says or is he an arrogant careerist spouting pop-psychology hooks? The assumptions people make in this film are hugely important and the title itself is a perfect encapsulation of the issues, conjuring up color, language, and perception.

Dylan Moran (Shaun of the Dead, Notting Hill) stars as wildly eccentric bookstore owner, Bernard Black, in an all-new season of the surreally funny hit-comedy, Black Books, premiering Friday, February 10,
Set in a bookstore of the same name, Black Books follows the oddball antics of Bernard, his well-meaning and long-suffering assistant Manny (Black Books, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and their friend Fran (Tamsin Greig, Shaun of the Dead, Green Wing). Fully devoted to the twin pleasures of drinking and willful antagonism, Bernard, who doesn’t function well in the ordinary world, has created his own safe haven within the grubby confines of his store. Driven by his own alcohol-fuelled logic, anyone attempting to buy a book from him is more likely to meet with the full force of his temper than leave his store with a purchase. He loves his books and dislikes his customers – a combination unlikely to earn him a businessman of the year award.
Bearded, sweet and good, Manny is punished relentlessly by Bernard for the crime of existing. They depend on each other for meaning while their oldest friend Fran depends on both of them for distraction and another excuse for a drink. Bereft of her loathed business concerns (she once owned a nearby gift store, Nifty Gifty), Fran struggles to find significance between struggling to find her ciggies and another bottle of wine.
Among their exploits this season, Manny uses his underworld connections to find Fran a mysterious office job where she’s given nothing to do, Bernard and Manny decide to transform the bug infested bookstore into a restaurant and the three of them embark on an unsuccessful attempt to venture abroad on vacation.
In this heaven of books, where wine and conversation flow freely, the only threat to the group’s nirvana is their own mix of limitless stupidity.
Season One of Black Books won the prestigious Best Sitcom award at the BAFTAs (

Twenty Thousand Comes to BBC America
A story of unrequited love set against the background of the grimy streets and bars of 1930s
Revolving around The Midnight Bell, a pub off London's landmark Euston Road, Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky follows the painful pursuit of love from three different perspectives: Jenny, forced into prostitution through circumstances and now struggling to keep her head above water; Bob, a young barman with actor's looks and ambitions to be a writer, who yearns for Jenny and his colleague Ella, torn between the attentions of an older, wealthier man and her secret desire for Bob. Together their stories create a fascinating and emotionally gut-wrenching study of infatuation, betrayal, and missed opportunities.
Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky is a little-known classic of English literature, and a window into a world full of cruelty and kindness, comedy and pathos, wasted dreams and lost desires. Patrick Hamilton was hugely acclaimed in his heyday but died in relative obscurity in 1962. He also wrote the haunting stage thrillers Gaslight and Rope, both of which were made into
The stars include Bryan Dick (Viva Blackpool, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World) as Bob, Zoë Tapper (shortly to star on the big screen with Lauren Bacall and Anjelica Huston in These Foolish Things) as Jenny and Sally Hawkins (Layer Cake, Vera Drake) as Ella. Phil Davis (Vera Drake) also features as Ella's admirer, Mr. Eccles.
Executive producer Gareth Neame says: "Patrick Hamilton was one of the truly great British novelists of the 20th Century, but his extraordinary contribution has all too often been overlooked. His famous psychological thrillers such as Rope, Gaslight and
"The highly autobiographical Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky doesn't involve murders or darkened streets, but instead the intensely painful subjects of unrequited love, ambition and disappointment. It observes the minutiae of ordinary life and it gives us a unique insight into the emotionally wrecked life that Hamilton himself lived."

WHAT THE BRITISH PRESS SAID:
"Beautifully acted and lovingly filmed, these hypnotic morality tales neither preach nor judge. It is unmissable." The Times
"Outstanding ... excellent adaptation ... captures Hamilton's world in all its compelling, tarnished glory." The Observer
"Twenty Thousand Streets ... is a melancholy story, with no redemption for any of its characters. But it's far from depressing. It's well scripted, well acted, and beautifully made ... not to be missed." The Independent On Sunday
"A magnificent portrait of the renting twilight class of 1930s London ... Beautifully filmed and acted, this masterly production showed how Hamilton's genius turned his nihilistic outlook into a coherent and uncomfortably convincing artistic vision." The Daily Telegraph
"...nigh-on perfect dramatisation of Patrick Hamilton"s 1930s trilogy..." The Daily Mirror
"...understated and bittersweet. That these are pinched, difficult, even tragic lives is never in doubt, but we're also offered glimpses into the characters' hopes and dreams ... excellent performances from Bryan Dick, Sally Hawkins, Zoë Tapper and Phil Davis." The Guardian
PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
Part One: The Midnight Bell - Bob's Story
The Midnight Bell pub in 1930s London Soho is a sanctuary for the dissolute and lonely. Barman Bob saves his money and dreams of bettering himself - he would like to be a successful writer. Handsome, bright and ambitious, he is full of hope and prospects until he falls for Jenny, one of the regulars at The Midnight Bell. Jenny is a former ladies' maid who has fallen on hard times and now works as a prostitute. She is shallow, unreliable and out for what she can get, but Bob is besotted. Oblivious to the timorous advances of his obviously smitten fellow barmaid Ella, Bob goes all out to win the beautiful blonde hooker's heart and steer her onto the straight and narrow. Despite a string of broken promises, un-met assignations, and a rapidly depleting bank balance, his faith in her somehow holds out.
A much-anticipated holiday to Brighton sees Bob at Victoria train station, once again waiting for her. As the hours pass reality finally begins to hit home. We next find Bob slumped in a doorway on the Strand in central London, drunken and penniless.
Premieres Saturday, February 11, 2006, 8p.m. ET/9 p.m. PT.
Part Two: The Siege Of Pleasure - Jenny's Story
Tearful because she backed out of meeting Bob at Victoria train station, fickle Jenny goes back to the streets, where she picks up a John who seems oddly familiar. At the hotel room, she realizes that she has encountered her client, Andy (Neil Stuke), before.
Flashbacks reveal the part he played in her fall from respectability. Three years ago, she was a loyal domestic servant of the Chingford's in a wealthy London neighborhood, where she worked as a maid to a doctor and his elderly sisters. But a giddy night out after work with her prostitute friend Violet proved her undoing. They were entertained and flattered by low-life crooks, Rex (Ryan Cartwright) and Andy, who plied Jenny with drink and promised her a job as a model. Naïvely, she fell for their story. A gentleman acquaintance joined them, and they were driven away in Andy's car for a night of adventure, until a tragic accident put an end to the gaiety. Jenny woke to find herself in the house of the "gent', her first client. A flash-forward reveals that Jenny's raddled and impotent client is Andy.
Premieres Saturday, February 11, 2006,
Part Three: The Plains Of Cement - Ella's Story
Ella's only crime is to be born plain. Sharing an apartment upstairs in The Midnight Bell with Bob is a kind of torture. Through the walls she hears his comings and goings, but has only the faintest of hopes that she could be a significant part of his life. Instead, she is besieged on a daily basis by pub regular Ernest Eccles, a boorish and slightly sinister man of 52. He presents himself as romantic, but to Ella, a girl with a humble background, a sickly mother and a drunken father, he's a fallback to financial stability. Confused, she agonizes over whether to go ahead and marry Mr. Eccles, a man she's not attracted to but who would give her a secure future, or whether she should hold on in the hope that Bob will come to love her.
Suddenly, a potential job offer as a housekeeper in India and the prospect of an inheritance from her dying father presents Ella with options. She's also thrilled to be asked to the movies by Bob. But the job falls through, her father recovers and she watches Bob disappear in a new suit on his fated rendezvous with Jenny.
