Jonathan Rhys Meyers signed autographs for fans during a break in filming The Tudors in Dublin yesterday. He has flecks of grey in his hair and beard as he's playing an older Henry VIII in this final series, and was joined on set by his final wife, Joely Richardson. During the breaks between filming the series, Jonathan has been busy with film projects, and the trailer for his latest movie From Paris With Love has just been released: check it out after the jump.

Henry VIII's royal family is complete. Joely Richardson has landed the role of Catherine Parr, Henry's final wife, on Showtime's The Tudors.
Richardson — fresh off her Golden Globe-nominated work on Nip/Tuck — will appear in five episodes of the show's final season, which focuses on the dark final days of King Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers).

It's official — Showtime's The Tudors will return for a fourth season next year. But don't get too attached: As the show's creator suggested at the TCA press tour in January — when he pointed out that Henry VIII would be out of wives fairly soon — the fourth season will be the show's last.
This season of the show follows Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) through his relationships with Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves, leaving two Catherines (Howard and Parr) for the final year.

If you have HBO or Showtime, tonight's your lucky night — even moreso if you have both! One of Showtime's new signature series wraps up its first season tonight, while new seasons of acclaimed dramas begin on both Showtime and HBO.
First, the finale: United States of Tara's first season ends tonight, with Tara preparing to face head-on the man she believes to be the cause of her dissociative identity disorder.

One of my favourite Irish actors Jonathan Rhys Meyers does the smouldering sexy look so well, but it's great to see him grinning at The Tudors Season 3 launch party in New York City yesterday. The actor reportedly entered rehab a month ago for the third time, but returned to work in LA after receiving treatment for alcoholism. Jonathan looked happy to pose alongside on-screen wives Tamzin Merchant and Annabelle Wallis, although Joss Stone was one wife who was absent.

The Tudors, Showtime's saucy royal drama, returns to television next month for another go-round with King Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and his many wives.
This season covers Henry's marriages to Jane Seymour (played this year by Annabelle Wallis, who takes over for Anita Briem in the role) and Anne of Cleves (played by Joss Stone in the singer's major acting debut). There's also religious drama, sexual escapades, and gorgeous costumes, just as we've come to expect from this series.

There's a lot to like about this promo for the third season of Showtime's The Tudors, but the music is absolutely cracking me up. The promo shows scenes of Jonathan Rhys Meyers's Henry VIII and his many wives, all set to the sound of . .

TV stars from our side of the pond took to the stage at CBS and Showtime's TCA tour yesterday to chat about their shows. New mum Billie Piper took time out from Miami beaches to discuss Secret Diary of a Call Girl. My girl Buzz was there to hear Billie's revelations about the show, including the fact that she thinks Londoners tend to be more prudish about the show's sexual content than US audiences!

It's NBC's turn to present at the TCA press tour today, but before they take the stage, I wanted to pass along some of the remaining goodies from the CBS and Showtime presentations. I've got lots of good stuff — including an interview with United States of Tara and Rachel Getting Married star Rosemarie DeWitt —that I'll share in the coming days, but for now, some highlights from Wednesday's panels:
- Showtime's Nurse Jackie, which stars Edie Falco, is about a woman who's the absolute best nurse imaginable but also has serious human flaws — namely a severe addiction to pharmaceuticals (and an affair with her pharmacist). The show will premiere later this year and be paired with Weeds.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was a spunky and handsome addition to yesterday's Showtime TCA event to meander through the next season of The Tudors. While Buzz has the info about his relationship with Joss Stone plus other tidbits from the day's panels, here's what Jonathan had to say about playing the famous character and what sex scenes are like:
- On whether he'll gain weight like Henry VIII: "No. I’m not going to turn into the Holbein painting.
