Weekend Meme: James Wolk Is a "Political Animal," Gareth Thomas Cries a Lot (Want To Make Something Of It?) and "Glee" Gets Romantic

James Wolk might be cheating on Max. The sexy, furry star has been cast in Greg Berlanti's Political Animals on USA. But the good news is that this is a miniseries, so he should still be free to make out with Max on Happy Endings at will.

The U.S. Navy has announced plans for the USS Gabrielle Giffords, a shallow-water combat ship named in honor of the retired Congresswoman, who they say exemplifies bravery.

Sadly, Summit has decided to push the Nicholas Hoult zombie movie Warm Bodies from August 2012 to February 2013. I know it's to get it out of the way of The Bourne Legacy and Total Recall, but I fear the zombie craze will be over by then.

Madonna is not pleased with MIA for flipping the bird during the Super Bowl performance. "I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it.
