British actress Minnie Driver has revealed her three-year-old son was fathered by a writer on her former TV drama The Riches.

The Good Will Hunting star gave birth to little Henry Story Driver in 2008, but she refused to come clean about the identity of the baby's father, who has long been rumored to be a TV staffer.

Now, in a candid interview with Britain's The Observer magazine, Driver admits she has no "need to protect" the baby's dad any longer and while she stops short of naming the writer outright, she confesses they were never officially a couple.

She says, "He can fend for him...

Funnyman Eddie Izzard describes his transvestite tendencies as a "superhero thing," insisting he cross-dresses to fight prejudice.

The British comic was famous for dressing in feminine guise while performing his stand-up routines in the U.K. before finding international fame in the TV series The Riches and 2008 thriller Valkyrie. And Izzard claims he uses his transvestism to fight intolerance, likening himself to a disguised comic book hero.

He tells the New York Post, "I finished my last tour in Canada in girlie mode, and I'm just back in boy mode now. I consider it a superhero thing. ...

Last week, I helped the Emmy panelists decide upon which series to cast their vote for, and now it's the actors' turn.

The Emmy blue ribbon panel received a group of lists from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences last week. These were top ten lists from which they were to select the five nominees for the big Emmy show. They will view select episodes from each nominee and base their decision on what they see.

It's nigh on impossible to glean an accurate impression from a small sample, especially when it comes to acting. Many characters are given complex arcs from which the...

She says, "A big part of me wants my child to be English. My family are here and I'm sure I'll move back here one day. It's just that my work, and the opportunities I've had, have been...

British actress Minnie Driver is determined not to find out the sex of her unborn baby - so she has an extra incentive during delivery. The star of F/X's The Riches believes not knowing whether her child is a boy or a girl will give her an added interest in the labor.

She says, "I'm old school, I don't wanna know. I think you need some incentive through labor, I think you need as much encouragement as possible."

But she's sure of one thing - she's determined to have a natural birth.

Driver, who is five months pregnant with her first child, says,"I'd really like to avoid (a ca...

There's plenty to watch on network television, but we have long been living in the Golden Age of Cable. Ever since HBO told us, "It's not TV. It's HBO," we've been hooked. Ponying up the money for cable can be difficult, but these channels make it worth the price.

The Veterans:

HBO has lost many of the signature shows that made it a household name. The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under - they were all instrumental in defining HBO as the channel for daring, intelligent and mature programming. But don't write off the channel just yet. While its new series don't quite match the ...

Johnny Depp's dark musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street was a double winner at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

Depp himself claimed his first Globe after being nominated seven times - he took home gold in the Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical category and the Tim Burton film was named one of the night's two Best Films.

Acclaimed TV drama Mad Men also celebrated two awards, claiming the Best TV Drama Series and Best TV Actor honors at the Globes.

The writers' strike has officially infiltrated awards season. The Golden Globes have been reduced to a lackluster news conference. That means no best and worst dressed list. No boozy celebrities making a fool of themselves. All that remains is an hour-long meeting at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with angry WGA picketers surrounding the premises.

So, until the Hollywood powers-that-be finally buckle down and give the writers what they want and deserve, we here at Starpulse are going to call the winners and losers. We looked at reviews, other expert predictions, viewer attitudes and who we ...

The Malloys are a family of "travelers," roving con artists who live perpetually on the fringes of society and just outside the reach of the law. The typically iconoclastic FX network comedy-drama series The Riches was dedicated to the proposition of "Stealing the American Dream." Season one is now on DVD. Also in stores: season one of The Tudors, seasons one and two of Rob & Big, season two of Two And A Half Men, season five of MI-5, and season six of The Waltons.

British comedian Eddie Izzard wants his career to follow the same path as acting legend Anthony Hopkins. The cross-dressing actor, who stars in new hit TV show The Riches, wants to focus on serious acting roles and win the respect of his peers just like Hopkins.

He says, "I'd love to get my dramatic career in the same place as where his is. It's a tall order, but I just like the way he's done it."
