Ewan News is reporting that Mr Gregor and his pal Charley Boorman are planning to conquer Africa for their next motorbike trip.

Long Way Down is apparently the title of Ewan and Charley’s next motorbike project, according to Charley, who appeared at the London motorbike show. The project will have Ewan and Charley travel to Cape Town, South Africa, and will be filmed like Long Way Round.

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Sorry. I’ve always had this secret wish to write a Variety-type headline.

At any rate, Natalie Portman has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her work in the film Closer.

Big congratulations to her! We wish her all the best and hope she goes for her usual sophisticated fashion style, rather than the dress for which she was panned at the Golden Globes. (Let’s be honest about this, shall we?)

Naturally, John Williams is back for his work in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Would it really be the Oscars without him?) And I suspect ILM and/or Skywalker Sound are somewhere in the mix on the technical awards.

And our condolences to Liam Neeson for his snub. He’ll always be Qui-Gon Jinn to us!

In related news that will make many members of Club Jade happy, Johnny Depp has been nominated (again) in the Best Actor category. And Finding Neverland is up for 7 awards, total.

By winning a Golden Globe, Natalie Portman has gained another distinction: she got fugged. She’s sporting the least-offensive outfit featured so far, though: face it, no one is gonna beat Diane Kruger.

Well, Natalie Portman did us all proud by snagging herself a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. Her honor was received for the movie Closer.

Sadly, Liam Neeson went home empty-handed. But I think we can all be comforted by the fact that he looked really good in his tuxedo!

It was actually a Star Wars kinda night in which all the male actors got good marks for their tuxedo choices. Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson were also in attendance as presenters.

Has anyone found any pictures of the four Star Wars actors together?

Break out those credit cards!

Previews start May 19 (yes, really) and opening night is June 1. It’s playing at the Piccadilly Theatre, which is a pretty decent venue.

Not that any news could possibly be more cool than yesterday’s announcement of the Vanity Fair cover of colliding Star Wars generations, but there were a couple of other tidbits from Star Wars actors in the news.

Natalie Portman is apparently in final negotiations for the lead female role in V for Vendetta.

And Harrison Ford remains popular with the American public. He was named, yet again, to the Favorite Movie Star list pulled together by the Harris Poll.

And please don’t forget that Ewan McGregor is asking his fans to support UNICEF in the wake of the tsunami disaster.

Ewan McGregor is putting his new position as UNICEF ambassador to good use by calling for donations to help the children of Asia.

He says:

‘UNICEF need $25 million (
