… 4) Mention Tiger Woods, and Hollywood gets very nervous. Chloe Sevigny, star of Big Love, wouldn’t comment on the golfer’s big affairs. And Martin Scorsese nearly fled when he was asked if he’d ever consider making a Tiger biopic, and then gave a response that was cryptic even for him. “That’s a story that’s universal,” he said. “It could be a number of people in history. Being human, that’s the story.”
(5) The Hollywood Foreign Press went Glee-ful for Glee—best TV comedy—but the show’s biggest fan is still Suri Cruise. “That blows me away,” said one of the show’s stars, Jane Lynch. “I take that as a compliment. The Church of Scientology is very powerful.”

CARTERET — A developer has received permits to begin another phase of residential redevelopment in the Chrome section, officials said.
Jason Kaplan, president of Highland Park-based Kaplan Companies, said his company has begun work on the second phase of “”Gateway to Carteret,” a development that will include commercial units.
Mayor Daniel Reiman said the developer obtained permits last month to put the footings and foundations in place for 130 residential units expected to be completed in the next 18 months.
Reiman called the project “crucial” to the redevelopment of an area once plagued by gangs, prostitution and abandoned buildings.
