Dear Annie: My wife re-cently had an affair. She told me she was in love with the guy and was go-ing to leave me. Now she says she realizes he was only using her physically and she isn’t interested in him anymore.
This affair ended last winter, and they had no contact for a while. Our marriage seemed to be mending. However, about six weeks ago, my wife grew more and more dis-tant and had no interest in being intimate. I then discovered she was texting this same man. When I confronted her, she denied she was doing anything wrong. Now if I bring it up, she becomes angry and refuses to discuss it.
I have a problem with this. I feel her continued conversations with this
man are a violation of my trust. She betrayed me with this guy and claimed he was no longer a part of her life. Her justifi cation is that she isn’t, in fact, seeing him and has no in-terest in resuming their affair. She says she is com-pletely committed to me.
I still am hurt by his at-tentions and her contin-ued communication with him. This is becoming a very sore spot in our re-lationship, and I fear it may lead to a divorce. Am I wrong to feel this way? I love my wife and believe she loves me, but I fi nd it almost impossible to trust her. Please help. — Bro-kenhearted Husband.
Dear Broken: Your wife is still cheating. Whether or not she is seeing this man, she is still in touch with him, and that is an emotion-al betrayal. You are being far too accom-modating. Tell her all communication with this man must stop immediately and per-manently. Anything else means she values that relationship more than her marriage. And please consider counseling — together or on your own.
Please e-mail your ques-tions to [email protected], or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Cre-ators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Blvd., Ste. 700, Los Angeles, CA 90045.

BY STEVEN REAMcClatcy-Tribune News ServicePHILADELPHIA — So there
Will Ferrell was two weeks ago, clowning around on “Late Show with Da-vid Letterman.” A repeat guest, Ferrell this time sauntered out in a top hat, spats, and morning coat in honor of the royal wedding. “I’m so excited,” he deadpanned. “Kate and Willy are very good friends.” However, be-cause of “that pesky no-fl y list,” Ferrell regretted he wouldn’t be in attendance at the London ceremony.
And then, after a George Bush impersonation and some business about his three young sons’ pen-chant for the Military Channel, Ferrell found himself in the somewhat odd position of promoting a new movie that was not a knuckleheaded laugh riot.
In “Everything Must Go,” Ferrell plays a guy who has just lost his job, been locked out of his house by the wife who’s dumping him and who has jettisoned all his posses-sions on the front lawn. Adapted from “Why Don’t You Dance,” a sleek and bleak Raymond Carver short story, this is no “An-chorman” or “Talladega Nights.”
“I have to say, Letterman was really effusive about the movie. He actually re-ally liked it,” Ferrell says the next day, on the phone from New York. “I could tell, though, that even he was having trouble articu-lating exactly what type of movie it is. It’s not crazy high jinks. I even debate whether it is a comedy. It’s an interesting thing, given my past body of work, to try to get across how dif-ferent this movie is.”
It was Dan Rush, a com-mercials director making
his feature debut, who went after Ferrell for the role, and who elicits a ter-rifi cally nuanced perfor-mance from his unlikely star. Clearly, the fi lmmak-er saw something in Fer-rell that was right to play a middle-aged, alcoholic salesman fallen off the wagon and onto the La-Z-Boy recliner in his front yard, chugging six-packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
“I sat down with Dan to discuss when he wanted to shoot,” Ferrell recalls, “and why did he want me. In fact, I asked my wife to read the script. I told her it’s somewhat dark, but it’s really strong and it’s a great premise and I love it. See if you think it’s as good as I do.
“And she stayed up until 2 in the morning reading it. We woke up the next day, and I was like, ‘What do you think?’ And she said ‘Wow, that’s really good. Why do they want you?’
“And we both started laughing.”
Ferrell admits that he hadn’t heard of Carver — the minimalist fi ction god who explored the lives of hard-drinking, hard-luck middle Americans with grit and grace — until after he’d been handed Rush’s screenplay.
“Dan gave me the collec-tion of short stories that included the one that he adapted. I read the whole book very quickly — I was embarrassed slightly that I didn’t know who Raymond Carver was. But then I ap-preciated the script even more, because it felt like Dan really captured it. Carver’s short stories are so stark and melancholy, they almost have this gray overtone to them that I felt Dan totally nailed. And he did an incredible job when you think about the sto-
ry—_ it’s fi ve pages long, I think, and yet he created this whole world off of that.”
The beauty of “Every-thing Must Go” is that, like Carver’s fi ction, it respects these characters as they go off the deep end, and then struggle to stay afl oat. They’re fools, and they’re fl awed, but there’s no con-descension, or pretension, in the way they are por-trayed. Helping Ferrell out in this fi ne role is Rebecca Hall, as a just-moved-in, very pregnant neighbor; Michael Pena as Ferrell’s character’s AA sponsor; and Laura Dern as a high-school classmate he kind of stalks in a moment of desperation.
“That scene, I think, perfectly encapsulates how lost this guy is in reaching out to someone he noticed in his yearbook and had once, long ago, said a nice thing about him,” Ferrell says. “He’s really grasping. ... And when she says, ‘Why are you here?’ he doesn’t even know.”
The actor who has the most screen time oppo-site Ferrell in “Everything Must Go,” however, is Christopher Jordan Wal-lace, a 14-year-old from New York with just one other movie to his credit. As a kid who rolls up on a bike and befriends this loser on the lawn, he’s funny, and quiet, and smart _ and the perfect foil.
“We were really lucky to fi nd him,” Ferrell says of his co-star. “It’s always a challenge casting young-er actors. You need them to stay believable ... and
fi nd someone who hasn’t done so much work where they’re already mannered and are ‘acting.’ He knew his lines better than any of us.”
Ferrell shot “Everything Must Go” after he did his one-man George W. Bush show, “You’re Welcome America,” on Broadway, and “The Other Guys,” his buddy-cops spoof with Mark Wahlberg. But it was a few years earlier,
when he played an IRS auditor who surreally be-comes the protagonist of a novel in the multitiered comedy “Stranger Than Fiction,” that gave him the urge to go a little deeper, try something with more substance.
“I really loved the expe-rience of making ‘Strang-er Than Fiction,’” he ex-plains. “And since then, I’ve been looking for an-other project that would
be more leaning towards the drama world. And then this one came along, and I just felt like it was so unique, and also a radical-ly different kind of thing for me to get to do.
“We’ll see. Hopefully, audiences will embrace me in this, but you never know,” he cautions.
“They may be like, ‘Yuck, I don’t like him. You know, he’s just acting depressed.’”
A bleak, nuanced role for ... Will Ferrell?

Will Ferrell plays Nick Halsey in the movie ‘Everything Must Go,’ directed by Dan Rush. This is a dif-ferent role for Ferrell, as he plays a guy who has lost his job and has been locked out of his house by the wife who’s dumping him.
BY SCOTT COLLINSMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceLOS ANGELES — The net-
works don’t offi cially an-nounce their schedules until next week, but word leaked out late Tuesday about the fi rst round of cancellations and pickups over at Fox.
Among the current shows that were “on the bubble” (that is, in jeopardy), Fox is reportedly renewing an-other season of “Fringe.” But all its other endan-gered shows are headed for the rubbish heap in a massive housecleaning: the dramas “Chicago Code,” ‘‘Human Target” and “Lie to Me” plus the comedies “Breaking In” and “Traffi c Light.”
Meanwhile, the network has made series orders for “The New Girl,” with Zooey Deschanel as a love-lorn teacher, and “I Hate My Teenage Daughter,” with Jaime Pressly. Also, the time-travel drama “Al-catraz” looks headed for the schedule, as does the “Bones” spin-off “Finder.”
Reached for comment, a Fox spokeswoman said, “We’re not confi rming or denying any pickups/cancellations until we an-nounce our schedule on Monday.”

Hugh Grant weighed as Charlie Sheen
replacement
LOS ANGELES — Hugh Grant has been weighing a big move: replacing the fired Charlie Sheen on CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.”
A person familiar with the situ-ation said Wednesday the British film actor was in negotiations to join the sitcom as its new leading man. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because producer Warner Bros. and CBS hadn’t authorized public com-ment, said the talks had stalled without resolution.
But it was unclear whether Grant’s hiring was a closed is-sue, the person said. Reports that Grant had been offered $1 million an episode were inac-curate, the person said, adding any Sheen replacement would be paid less than that.
Sheen was among TV’s highest-paid actors at a reported $1.8 million an episode.
Grant’s publicist did not imme-diately return a call for comment.
The Grant-”Two and a Half Men” negotiations were first reported by the Deadline Holly-wood website.
Grammy-winningtrio perform anthem
an Indy 500
INDIANAPOLIS — A trio of Grammy Award-winners will per-
form the national anthem at the Indianapolis 500 on May 29.
Pianist David Foster will ac-company singers Seal, and Kelly Clarkson before the 100th an-niversary race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Race organizers said Wednes-day that members of the U.S. armed forces will stand at atten-tion beside Foster’s piano during the performance.
Foster has won 16 Grammys as a producer and songwriter. Seal has sold 20 million albums worldwide over two decade as an R&B and pop singer. Clarkson was the first winner of the Ameri-can Idol TV show in 2002 and also is a 20 million album seller.
Chicago mayornames street
‘Oprah Winfrey Way’
CHICAGO — Oprah Winfrey now has a street to call her own.
On Wednesday, Mayor Rich-ard Daley, in one of his last official acts before he leaves office next week, stopped by her studio to rename a street outside Harpo Studios where Winfrey tapes her show “Oprah Winfrey Way.”
Winfrey is widely credited with helping transform a gritty part of the city into a thriving neighbor-hood, as her beige building with the giant silver ‘O’ proved to be a magnet for young profession-als and families.
Winfrey is the latest of more than 1,000 celebrities, religious leaders and activists and others who have been honored with street signs in Chicago. Michael Jordan, Siskel and Ebert, Hugh Hefner and Frank Sinatra have been honored over the years — Sinatra twice as it turns out.
