A Chicago newspaper editor once instructed his Civil War correspondants "when there is no news, send rumours."  He obviously foresaw the era of internet journalism.

The latest rumour that isn't news is a tidbit from the Sun in the U.K. that the latest Doctor Who, Matt Smith, will stick around for just one more season before taking off for Hollywood to try his hand at being a movie star. It's worked so well for all of the other actors who've played Doctor Who. (That last line is me being sarcastic.)

Although there is a Hollywood rumour about a former Doctor Who actor who may have a major role in an upcoming film. There's talk that Sylvester McCoy may play Bilbo Baggins in the planned Hobbit movie. At this point, I'd be happy to just have it made. There so much disarray within MGM that it might never happen.

I do like one viewer's comment on Smith's departure from Doctor Who. Bring Christopher Eccleston back. He's the guy who lasted only one season before he took off for brighter lights. Now that would be a new twist for the show.
