Short Foxx, Mulder & 10 Again Bits

At the recent 10th annual Critics' Choice Awards, stars were chatting about what's ahead for them this year and USA Today to land two scoops. First up, Jamie Foxx let slip he's interested in starring in another biopic: about disgraced, ear-chomping boxing champ Mike Tyson. He's already looking into acquiring the rights to Tyson's story. Also, presenter David Duchovny said he spoke to "X-Files" creator Chris Carter earlier in the day about their long-awaited X-Files follow-up, which they expect to shoot late this year or early in 2006. "It'll be a stand-alone horror movie. Mulder and Scully investigate one particular case that has nothing to do with alien life. It has to do with supernatural stuff". Finally, after a long absence "Clifton Sleigh" is back with the latest on Blake Edwards' "10" sequel entitled "10 Again": "Robert Downey, Jr. decided to pass on the role a few weeks back. Matthew Perry and Jack Black were both discussed by Pacificap Entertainment and Sanctuary Pictures for the lead role but it now looks like "The Office" man Ricky Gervais might sign aboard to co-star opposite Jennifer Hawkins in the film which will co-star Bo Derek and Julie Andrews and will sail to the UK and climates warmer later this year under the auspices of Blake Edwards. Thanks to 'KC' & 'CS'
