What happens when a suburban family finds out their neighbors don't just seem like they're from another planet . . . they actually are? That's the question ABC's new sitcom The Neighbors poses. We recently caught up with the show's creator, Crazy, Stupid, Love writer Dan Fogelman, and its stars Jami Gertz and Lenny Venito to talk about what aliens can reveal about human nature. Check out our interview, and catch The Neighbors when it premieres tonight on ABC at 9:30 p.m./8:30 p.m. Central.
Another actor joins the campaign trail: Tom Cruise will play a politician in a new film. The as-yet-untitled movie is from a script by Dan Fogelman, the screenwriter of the upcoming Crazy, Stupid, Love starring Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling. Cruise's character is a political figure who has a squeaky-clean reputation until he's exposed for having an affair and has to return to his hometown and repair his life. With Cruise's perfect teeth and charismatic smile, I'm surprised that he hasn't been asked to play a politician before.
