James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli tells Deadline Hollywood that the next 007 has not been selected yet. “Nobody’s in the running. We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”
Chris Evans tells the D23 Inside Disney podcast that he has no desire to play Captain America again. “No, I don’t think so. I mean it was a really unbelievable ride and the character’s just so dear to me and I’m just so precious with it. To return to the role, I mean the truth is, the role isn’t even mine anymore. The role is Anthony Mackie’s. So, you know, even if there was a different incarnation, not as Captain America, but you know for Steve Rogers, even that would feel… I’d be very cautious, just because I love that chapter of my life professionally, personally. I love what those movies accomplished and to revisit it and potentially have some weird extension to that legacy would be upsetting if it didn’t land.”

''E.T.'' star Henry Thomas tells Comicbook.com that he doesn't expect an ''E.T.'' sequel to get made. “There had been ideas kicked around over the years. There were some serious talks early on because the studio was really pushing for it, to follow up the success of the 1982 season. That’s why the commercial, I think Spielberg okayed the commercial because that’s as close to a sequel as he’s willing to go, as he’s willing to allow. The response for that Xfinity spot was so overwhelming and people thought it was a teaser for a sequel which created a huge, huge stir on the internet. I don’t know if it made it past the internet.”
Mira Sorvino tells NBC that a ''Romy and Michele'' sequel could happen. "So there's nothing official to report, but I can unofficially hint that we are closer than we've ever been to getting something to happen...

So, very excited, I can't say anything yet, but something might be in the works."

Dear Fonseca
We are planning a big holiday weekend garage sale. I was organizing in the garage yesterday when I saw that my husband plans to sell a birthday gift I gave him. When I confronted him at dinner last night, he said he no longer needs or uses the gift so there's nothing wrong with selling it. This led to a huge fight. You don't sell a gift your spouse gives you. He disagreed and says it's taking up space. Where do you stand on this? Is he wrong for trying to sell a special and sentimental gift that I gave him? What are the rules on this?
