HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Yet another star to join upcoming romantic comedy THEY CAME TOGETHER, is Christopher Meloni from TRUE BLOOD, although I bet most of you love to remember him most from legendary prison show OZ in which he loved to present his utterly full naked self all the time :) As I've reported before, the film will see Paul Rudd as corporate businessman whose company threatens to shut down a small shop owned by a girl whom he will get in love. Meloni will play Rudd's boss. Cobie Smulders from HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, who also appeared recently in record breaking AVENGERS, will play Rudd's girlfriend. Smulders will also join Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough in another romantic flick - SAFE HAVEN, a film adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel.
