The Glove set to film this summer

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are set to start filming their long-awaited movie The Glove this summer - and it could feature Ant-Man star Paul Rudd.

Bow down: the Boss is in the house tonight. Yes, Bruce Springsteen, who's rarely seen touting his wares on a chatshow, joins Robert De Niro and Paul Rudd on the sofa. The magic comes when the celebrities entertain each other with stories, while Norton wisely sits back and listens.

Review: GQ Extravaganza, Hammersmith Apollo

GQ has a long-standing reputation for being a stylish fashion magazine, but it is also building up a reputation for stylish comedy. Thanks to the contacts book and charm of its comedy editor, stand-up James Mullinger, it has put together a number of striking special editions featuring the world's greatest clowns and comedy actors from Jerry Seinfeld to Paul Rudd and Ricky Gervais. This year they went one stage further with a formidable comedy gig, which worked absolutely brilliantly. Until the headline act came on...

Norton's sofa is graced by the presence of thespian heavyweight Dame Helen Mirren, who gives us the lowdown on her Bafta-nominated performance in Hitchcock. Casting her as the wife of the legendary director, the film gives an insight into Hitchcock's obsession with his female leads, telling the other side of the story shown in BBC2's The Girl screened over Christmas. Also chatting with the host are US actors Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann bigging up their own film, This Is 40, the sequel to smash hit Knocked Up. Music comes from The X Factor winners Little Mix, still spinning out their 15 minutes of fame.

Fabulous Helen Mirren takes her place on the Norton sofa tonight to talk up her new film, Hitchcock. She's been nominated for a Bafta for her role as the director's long-suffering wife, Alma Reville, opposite Anthony Hopkins as the Master of Suspense.

Mirren is teetering dangerously close to becoming, like her fellow Dame, Judi Dench, a national treasure - she's funny, never appears to take herself too seriously and is a super-fantastic actress who played the best EVER television detective, Jane Tennison in all of those Prime Suspects.

Keeping her company is the underrated, hugely brilliant comic actor Paul Rudd, who can make any ropey old movie (have you seen The Object of My Affection?) seem not so bad after all. He's in London promoting his new film, This Is 40, Judd Apatow's sequel to Knocked Up.
