Hollywood's other Truman Capote film will receive its world premiere at the Venice festival, it was announced yesterday. Capote was released earlier this year and won an Oscar for Philip Seymour Hoffman. Now Infamous, based on George Plimpton's book about Capote, will open Venice's Orizzonti competition (for what it sees as cutting-edge films) on August 31. Toby Jones plays Capote and stars alongside Sandra Bullock
Daniel Craig
Jeff Daniels and Gwyneth Paltrow

Tributes were yesterday expected to pour in after the death of Eddie, the dog from Frasier. He was 16. The Jack Russell terrier's real name was Moose and he had been retired in recent years, at the Los Angeles home of his trainer, Mathilde Halberg, while his son Enzo played the role in the sitcom's final two seasons.

Q Magazine carries a readers' interview with Status Quo and the drugs revelations are fascinating. Francis Rossi admits he was completely out of it during the recording of the Band Aid single. He and Rick Parfitt were the only ones with drugs and people "kept saying, 'Where are the two doctors?'" He adds: "I'm not saying everybody there was doing drugs, but some people were. Whoever wanted to. We were determined to have a good day."

Trafalgar Square will this Friday make way for Canadians. On the eve of Canada Day there will be hockey players, Mounties and musicians at the celebrations from 2-9pm. With the best will in the world it cannot be reported that many household names will be there, although David "Kid" Jensen will be MC. On stage will be the Ennis Sisters
Leeroy Stagger
the Heavy Blinkers and Ron Sexsmith (who you may have heard of).
