(thanks Erin) Claire has officially turned down the role for Joan of Arc in Company of Angels due to scheduling conflicts Hot off the presses: tonight's ET interview with Claire on the premiere of Romeo and Juliet as another QuickTime movie. (I received a message indicating that premiere for Romeo and Juliet would take place tommorow at the GCC AVCO Cinema Center in Westwood -- could there be two?)

Just a reminder that the soundtrack for R&J will be released this Tuesday - October 29th. Just added today's YTV News "First Person" profile of Claire as another QuickTime movie.

9:00/8:00 PM on Thursday, which will be repeated several times (info courtesy of Harold Wexler).
In what I'm assuming is a scheduling conflict, the E! Online Q&A will now feature Leonardo DiCaprio instead of Claire.
In some rather obscure news, the band Soul Coughing has a mention of Claire in the liner notes of their newest album Irresistible Bliss
with the line "Gus would like to thank Claire Danes and asks that she call him (he's listed in the Pensacola Phone Book)" and also in their November Details
interview where the band rates various things. Amongst them "Claire Danes' body parts: 7/10". Next, Entertainment Tonight had another snippet with Claire in it tonight. Again with pal Winona Ryder at the Fire & Ice benefit for breast cancer research.
And next again, the soundtrack listing for Romeo and Juliet is as follows: October 22 - Schedule change! Claire will be on Letterman on October 24th instead of the 30th! Entertainment Tonight had a small snippet on Romeo and Juliet focusing on what else? Kissing! Also, coming soon...E! Online will be having a Claire Q&A session!

Letterman makes a reference to Claire as "the best" in his interview of Peter Gallagher...hope this bodes well for a Claire appearance on Letterman before R&J opens. Finally, John Leguizamo (Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet) is scheduled to appear on Letterman on October 25th. October 10 - Hot off the presses...Claire looking very sophisticated in her interview last evening on the Tonight Show as a Quicktime movie (RealVideo - 2.5MB).
