VERY INTERESTING INFO!!!!! LISTEN TO THIS!! Anakin might return to Ground! By Claire Binkly Toronto Sun (some of the article taken out of context)
After Hayden Christensen has finished exploring the galaxy, he might return to Canadian TV. The Thornhill-raised actor has agreed to do more episodes of his BC based drama Higher Ground if the show is renewed, series star Joe Lando said yesterday. "Hayden has agreed to come back because he is very greatful to the show," Lando said. "Higher Ground landed him a manager, which landed him an agency and from that his tape went into George Lucas' people."
The show makes its Canadian debut this fall on ONtv. Lando said Fox Family executives seem indifferent to the heat Christensen's Star Wars casting could draw to the series and have not commited to a continuation. If Fox Family does opt out, NBC has expressed an interest in running the show, then passing it on to PAX, the cable network it partly owns.
OK, can you BELIEVE THAT? We might not even have to sign a petition! Nevertheless, click here to sign the petition to have Higher Ground back on air!

Hayden's New Movie
REEL DEALS On the day that ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'' opened around the planet, word came of Hayden Christensen's next project. The young Jedi is in talks to produce and star in ''Shattered Glass,'' an earthbound drama about a twentysomething journalist who crossed over to the dark side. Marking the directorial debut of screenwriter Billy Ray (''Hart's War''), the film will tell the true story of Stephen Glass, the 1990s magazine hotshot (he wrote for such prestigious periodicals as Rolling Stone and The New Republic) whose vividly reported nonfiction features turned out to be largely fabricated. When last heard from, Glass had ditched journalism -- for law school, where his talent for tall tales would no doubt serve him well.

Well, I have something new here: I found it in USA Weekend. It's a little bit from the rumor mill.
Q: I heard Hayden Christensen, aka Anakin Skywalker, is seeing the newly single Britney Spears. True?
-Emily Smith, Olympia, Wash.
A: Just more pulp from the romance rumor mill. "They never met", says a rep for the fast-rising Christensen. Perhaps he's been confused with Spears' ex-beau, popster Justin Timberlake, who looks a bit like this Canadian import (Christensen was born in Vancouver and raised in Toronto, where he started landing TV gigs at 13). In any case, at just 21, the lanky People magazine "50 Most Beautiful" designee is a veteran of dating speculation. During filming of Attack of the Clones, reports flew that he and co-star Natalie Portman were an item. Christensen pooh-phooed that talk but did admit to enjoying their kissing scenes; he may again when the two are paired in the next Star Wars, due in 2005.
