Space station crew jumps queue for The Martian

I’m impatient to see this movie The Martian, starring Matt Damon as an astronaut stuck on the red planet awaiting a rescue mission.

The picture opens Oct. 2, but a few lucky people got to jump the queue: in an inspired bit of marketing, Fox arranged to show the film to the crew of the International Space Station last weekend, Deadline.com reported.

U.S. astronaut Kjell Lindgren tweeted a photo of several ISS crew members watching the movie, and wrote: “Movie night! What a treat to watch #TheMartian while in space and see reflections of our own #JourneyToMars!”

Irish rocker and philanthropist St. Bob Geldof celebrated his marriage to longtime sweetie Jeanne Marine last weekend, at a friend’s beach house near Nice in the south of France.

This was just the party; these two, a couple for 19 years, have been legally married since a small ceremony in April.

Geldof is 63. Marine is 49.

The Atlanta Hawks, of the NBA, have found two women and one man, all from Georgia, whose genuine birth certificates name them Ashley Madison.

No doubt these folks have been getting teased a lot about the Toronto-based adultery-facilitation website Ashley Madison, especially since hackers published the site’s client list online this summer. But now Ashley Madisons I, II and III are cashing in, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: the Hawks hired the three to make TV ads for partial season tickets. You can see one of the ads on YouTube: “Have you had a little rough patch with your first love? Maybe they just don’t deliver the excitement you need anymore,” says a red-headed woman with that name. John Stamos, straight outta

rehab, wants you to know he’s tanned, rested and ready, and feels “better than I have in a decade.”

The actor spent a month in a residential clinic dealing with his alcohol problem, following a DUI bust in Beverly Hills in June. Now, out plugging his upcoming Fox sitcom Grandfathered, Stamos explains to Details mag:

“You know, I’ve had a rough year with my mom dying, so it all came to a head, and it was a turning point. You either continue on that path — and some of it’s fun, but a lot of it’s not — or there’s this other thing, this golden opportunity sitting there with all this work and all this goodwill.”
