A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

SO WILL LOUISE BE VEEP? Rod Lurie, maestro of movies good ("The Contender") and bad ("Deterrence"), and master of unusual casting (David Paymer as a brutal Irish mobster who has a nude scene? Kevin Pollak as POTUS?) will return to TV next season with "Commander in Chief," a drama about the first female president of the U.S. So who do you get to play the new President? Joan Allen, so good in "The Contender?" Glenn Close, now doing "The Shield" and so good on "West Wing" last season? Nope, you hire noted Mensan and Olympic archery contestant Geena Davis. Somehow, I have my doubts.
