Who's Hot in Hollywood
Walton Goggins, 38, who plays Boyd Crowder on FX's drama Justified, gets to run around playing serial killer Walter Stans in Predators, in theaters now. The film, a sequel to the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Predator, was filmed in Hawaii and Austin. "It was very difficult. It was very physical. We were running through the jungle - like rain forest - at high speed," Goggins says. "It was as if I were a little boy again."
Suck It, Wonder Woman! The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek is a collection of essays from pop culture queen Olivia Munn, actress (Iron Man 2, Date Night) and host of G4's Attack of the Show. The title comes from her skit showing the travails of a female superhero. "That helped get people to see me comedically and doing physical comedy," says Munn, 30. The hardcover wraparound can be reversed for a poster of Munn, and the bottom corner pages become a photo flipbook of her dancing. "I tried to do as many things as possible that the fans like."
I enjoy The Planet's Funniest Animals and its host, Keegan Michael Key. Can you tell me more about him?
Marilyn Chase, Canisteo, N.Y.
Key, 39, turns out to be an animal lover himself. The L.A.-based actor and his wife are about to adopt their second shelter dog to keep Levi, a German shepherd/border collie/husky mix, company. "Before I ever thought I'd become an actor, I thought I'd be a veterinarian," he tells us. "Until I realized there was math involved." Keegan polished his comic chops with the Second City comedy troupe in Detroit and eventually scored roles on MADtv and Gary Unmarried. Next up: Key plays Jennifer Aniston's hairdresser in the comedy Just Go With It.
Can you catch me up on what Andrew McCarthy is up to these days? He was such a star in the '80s John Hughes movies.
Judi Gibson, Aberdeen, Wash.
McCarthy, 47, lives with his two young children and partner, Dolores Rice, in New York, but his rep tells us he moonlights as a globe-trotter and travel writer. McCarthy's pieces on Rome, Hawaii, Brazil, Ireland and Morocco have appeared in The Atlantic, Men's Journal, Bon App-tit, Travel + Leisure and National Geographic Traveler. McCarthy appears next in the big-screen drama Main Street with Orlando Bloom and Colin Firth.

Will Jane Pauley ever come back to TV?
Bonnie Milliman, West Olive, Mich.
You're in luck - Pauley, 59, will be on the Today show once a month with her new AARP-sponsored segment, Your Life Is Calling With Jane Pauley. In it, she explores Baby Boomers who are "testing assumptions" and reinventing their lives. Pauley recently celebrated 30 years of marriage to Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau. "I find Garry has a thousand different interests. I don't have that many interests," she jokes, "but he thinks I'm funny and interesting." To catch her segments, head to AARP.org/Jane.
