The first time I spotted Hugh Dancy, I was immediately drawn. Seriously, how can one really resist the dreamy eyes? It was in The Sleeping Dictionary, a movie that's not particularly good but in which Dancy makes one of his first major appearances. Since then, he's been keeping busy around Hollywood, mostly as a supporting actor, though I'm willing to be he stole many a heart in last year's underrated The Jane Austen Book Club.

I'm a fan, have been for a while, but I didn't realize he was dating one of my favourite actresses Claire Danes. The two were recently spotted at 70th Anniversary of the Gucci Via Condotti store and Gucci 2009 Resort Collection and they certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves.
It's nice to see a couple which smiler this unabashedly. They're so darn cute together and those smiles...those look genuine. Lots more photos over at Just Jared.
So I'm sitting here watching my second dose of Masterpiece Theater today (earlier today I saw the re-airing of "Northanger Abbey" which was, as expected, fantastic) and right now I'm watching "Mansfield Park" and checking out the schedule of upcoming screenings including the best of the Austen adaptation, "Pride and Prejudice" with part one to start on February 10th.
Also worth noting there's a version of "Emma" coming up in a few weeks starring none other than the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale and the brilliant Samantha Morton - well worth adding to the calendar on March 23rd. To be honest, I can't believe I've never actively searched for Masterpiece Theater. I can't believe it - it's brilliant! The entire schedule and a couple of juicy tidbits of information at the official website.
And while I was looking for a few pictures, I discovered We Make History. So far, I've spent 20 minutes digging through the links - particularly the Sense and Sensibility link which features a whole load of wonderful looking patterns. I feel another project coming on...
