Reuters - The ongoing booking war between the networks erupted anew with the news that hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger will tell his story on "60 Minutes" instead of NBC's "Today."
The actors of "Slumdog Millionaire" won outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, and Heath Ledger posthumously won best supporting male actor at the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was shut out at SAG but has 13 Oscar nods.

Even she has a successful career in selling records, Mariah Carey wants to prove everyone that she can do it so much better acting. Her leading role in semi-autobiographical "Glitter" was severely criticized by the specialists, earning only $5.3 million at global box offices.
In her new flick, "Push" which had its premiere this this past weekend at Sundance, Carey is playing a minor role this time as a welfare case worker.
The movie, based on a best-selling novel and directed by Lee Daniels who produced "Monster's Ball," reveals the story of a 16-year-old named "Precious" Jones who is twice impregnated by her father and is beaten by her mother.
Mrs. Weiss is sort of the eyes of the audience, the people who don't know anybody like this in their lives," Carey told reporters late Saturday.
"Yes it's her job ... but even someone who goes through that every day and sees these horrific things, she hears something that changes her," Carey said.
The 40 year-old singer is not all by herself, being helped by rocker Lenny Kravitz who's playing a nurse's aide who helps Precious deliver her second child. With this duo, if the movie won't be a box-office record breaker, at least the soundtracks will hit the charts.....

Front Page: Unions strike deal after years of bitter battles -- By DAVE McNARY
The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists have officially renewed their bargaining partnership after several years of bitter battles.
In a message to members Sunday, both unions confirmed for the first time that they've agreed to a set of guidelines including specific prohibitions on raiding and disparagement.
Move came three months after SAG and AFTRA hammered out a non-disparagement agreement with the AFL-CIO (Daily Variety, Oct. 21). The unions reached agreement two weeks ago to start talks Feb. 23 with the ad industry.
The SAG-AFTRA contract with commercial producers, which has been extended twice, expires March 31.
The bargaining will mark a return to solidarity at the contract table for the two thesp unions, which battled each other publicly last year after negotiating separately with Hollywood's majors on the feature-primetime contract. AFTRA members inked a new contract with the studios in July, while SAG has been mired in a months-long impasse.
The SAG-AFTRA agreement last fall to resume joint bargaining on the ad pact included signing of a non-disparagement agreement supervised by the AFL-CIO that includes the deposit of $2 million by each union to be paid out in fines for violations.
"We look forward to working together to protect and advance the interests, careers, and lives of all SAG and AFTRA members who work under the commercials contracts," the unions said.

Reuters - After seeing too many edgy, impenetrable, ambitious Sundance movies aiming -- and failing -- to set the world on fire, it can be something of a relief to find a frothy mainstream comedy that actually delivers some entertainment value.
Front Page: Actors to guild: 'Stop the infighting' -- Stop the infighting, get everyone on the same page and let's get a new contract already -- that was the message sent to SAG leaders by actors working the red carpet and backstage at the SAG Awards on Sunday.
Reuters - Anyone who remembers the pounding music, thump of punches landing, bad dudes and bad hair of 1970s blaxploitation pictures is bound to get a kick out of "Black Dynamite."

Reuters - One of the worst-kept secrets at Sundance was that the festival's poster boy, Steven Soderbergh, would screen his latest film, "The Girlfriend Experience," Tuesday evening at the Eccles Theater as a "sneak preview." Before a large turnout, Soderbergh declared his film a "work in progress." It did lack end credits, and the director-cinematographer indicated that the images and overall color might still need work.
Front Page: 2008 hits new highs despite financial crisis -- Despite the sharp economic downturn in the final quarter, London theater had a record-breaking year in 2008, with attendance for the year totaling 13,807,286, up 1% on the previous record set in 2007.
Front Page: Oscar nominations boost box office -- Fox Searchlight awards favorite "Slumdog Millionaire" was the darling of the weekend box office as it successfully opened nationwide for the first time in its run.
AP - Paris menswear displays ended Sunday with a flourish of flowing jackets, schoolboy bow-ties and profusely pleated pants as designers here refused to bow to the gloomy recession aesthetic that has cast a pall over other fashion capitals.

David and Victoria Beckham have both been pictured in their underwear for Armani seperately, but have now posed together for the designer.
In a black-and-white picture put on a huge billboard in Milan in time for the men’s fashion show this week, the couple model Emporio Armani’s latest underwear collection.
David, who has recently signed on loan for AC Milan, poses on white briefs while lying on his stomach on a bed.
His wife meanwhile is wearing a bra with white polka dots as she lies on the edge of the bed.
The picture is similar to a photo of the former Posh Spice in her underwear that was unveiled last week.
She posed for the sultry black and white shots as she is the new face of Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear range.
It is thought the latest smouldering image is part of a lucrative deal worth an estimated £32 million in total.
The couple are promoting underwear from the spring/summer collection.
David, 33, first signed a £20 million deal to become the global ambassador for the fashion house in 2007, and his wife, 34, followed with her own £12 million deal late last year.
Explaining his reasons for signing the former Spice Girl last week, Italian designer Giorgio Armani said: “I chose Victoria Beckham to launch our new global Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear campaign because she is a stylish and intriguing woman. Great underwear is alluring and provocative, and so I wanted to work with someone who would make a real impression. I’m sure Victoria’s presence will generate great excitement.”

Onlookers were left drooling as the pair playfully splashed each other in the warm waters.
Marisa also gave fans a cracking view when the waves accidentally pulled down her bikini bottoms.

Cover star ... Interview mag Credits: MERT & MARCUS/INTERVIEW MAGAZINE OH THIGH goodness!
LINDSAY LOHAN reaches for the stars in a heart-stopping New York photo shoot.
The Mean Girls actress shows off her slender frame and flowing locks in classy shots for Interview magazine.
There’s also plenty of toned thigh on display for good measure, courtesy of a flesh-baring mini dress.
Though the pics break new ground for Lindsay, the star admitted her chequered past is still hampering her bid for credibility in the world of showbiz.
She told the mag: “The worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn’t know how to focus, doesn’t know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party.
“And you know what? I was 20 years old. I never went to college. And I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong, and then I stopped.
“God forbid I should have ever learned my lesson.”
Sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed...
IS PAMELA ANDERSON ever planning on leaving the beach?
With three whole days of coastal chilling under her bikini, the busty beauty is rapidly clocking up more beach hours than she did in her Baywatch days.
Pammi enjoyed a romantic lazy day with her beefy new man on day one of her beach residency, while on Tuesday she spent the afternoon sunbathing and surfing solo.
But her lover was back for more sandy frolics yesterday, unable to wipe the smile off his face as he accompanied his girlfriend on a stroll along Malibu beach.
With Pamela still in such great shape, it’s no wonder the lad’s pleased with the direction his love life’s taken.
