Doctor Who. The 10th Doctor Is Confirmed As...
David Tennant.
As suggested recently by the talks that have been ongoing between the actor and the BBC - now it's confirmed by the BBC themselves this morning that Tennant has signed for the role. He will be the 10th in the shows' long history and follows Christopher Eccleston.
According to his IMDB entry, Tennant played a Janitor in a radio play for the show a couple of years back. To my memory this makes him only the second Doctor to have first appeared in the show as another character before taking the lead role. You can also see him in the next Harry Potter movie later this year.

Also:
From Outpost Gallifrey's biography:"Tennant's connections with the Doctor Who genre are extensive. A fan of the program, he hosted "Doctor Who: A New Dimension," the special preview documentary aired prior to the first episode of the new series on BBC1. He also played the role of the Caretaker in BBC Online's animated serial "The Scream of the Shalka" and has appeared in a variety of audio programs for Big Finish Productions, including as Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood in "Sympathy for the Devil," as Galanar in the "Dalek Empire III" series, as Daft Jamie in "Medicinal Purposes" as well as in "Colditz" and "Exile". Tennant also portrays the title role in Big Finish's audio adaptation of Bryan Talbot's "Luther Arkwright" series."
Reading that, it just seemed like a matter of time really.
