Though it’s a cruel twist of fate for hero Parker that finds Brock transforming into the evil Venom, that transformation is nothing but nice for Guy Candy watchers. Once the usually skinny star is consumed by the alien symbiote he turns into one hulking specimen of a Spider-Man clone complete with rippling muscles and the kind of moves that would make any girl swoon, even if he is the baddie.And good news: off screen, the former “That 㣪s Show” star is single.Also joining the “available” club is the gorgeous, James Dean-esque super stud James Franco.Franco (and his impeccable bone structure) returns as the brooding, sensitive soul Harry, who turns into the New Goblin to avenge his father’s death. His character is deep and dark as poor Harry struggles over his feelings for his father and his best friend Peter Parker, whose alter ego Spider-Man, is being held responsible by Harry for ending the original Goblin’s life. As it turns out, Franco is just as soulful off screen. Recent reports have caught the actor admitting to putting pen to paper, preparing a novel as part of his honors degree at Southern California university UCLA.You can’t mention “Spider-Man,” though with out pointing out its main star, the boyishly good-looking Tobey Maguire. The former party bud of Leonardo DiCaprio turned doting dad again dons the skintight suit as everyone’s favorite everyman turned super hero. The blue eyed babe once again brings to life nice guy Peter Parker and believably shows why despite being all the qualities that keep him from hanging out with the cool crowd, still gets him the girl.

FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF RUMOR: This one about the Patriots? QB Tom Brady and his… uh… completion percentage. First Bridget Moynahan let it be known that he’s the father of the baby she’s expecting. And this came shortly after they broke up. Then this week a fresh rumor, that Brady and his new flame, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, was also expecting. The rumor bounced back and forth across the World Wide Web long enough to put Gisele’s Google rating through the roof. Then she put out that fire. Gisele (the ex-girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio don’t forget) and her sister and father went on some Brazilian Web sites to protest the silliness of it all. The real tragedy is that Leno and Letterman were both dark this week and missed out on a great monologue opportunity.

Thanks to an assured slight of hand, a deftly-written screenplay and superb performances from some of the most elite members of the Hollywood Boys Club, "The Departed" easily fits the bill as Martin Scorsese's finest directorial effort since 1990's "Goodfellas." After over-playing his hand just a bit in an attempt to woo Academy voters with his last two films — 2002's sprawling "Gangs of New York" and 2004's overly ambitious biopic "The Aviator" — Scorsese finds himself back in his comfort zone with a crime epic about loyalty and deception that's deeply engaging and viciously entertaining from start to bloody finish.
