Source: Entertainment - Google News | 14 Apr 2010 | 2:14 am Last Night on Late Night: Adam West Out-Batmans Nic Cage Last night Adam West paid a surprise visit to The Tonight Show for a Batman trivia competition with Nicholas Cage, who was there to promote Kick-Ass. Cage plays a Batman-like superhero in the movie and showed he was no comic book slouch by nailing the game's hardest question, but ultimately West won the evening, proving that - as was the case with his old utility belt - quantity beats quality every time. The double vision continued on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and The Colbert Report, where the hosts played right into KFC's marketing strategy by making fun of the Double Down sandwich. Finally, Charlyne Yi discussed her inscrutable age with Craig Ferguson and proved his theory that he has a very gullible audience (she's 24). Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 13 Apr 2010 | 11:52 pm Industry Roundup: Jamie Foxx Heads to The Jungle, Steve Martin To Record Second Album Foxx To Bring Jungle To Life: Jamie Foxx will star in, produce and score Fox’s upcoming animated film, Welcome to the Jungle, marking his first animated feature-length project. The plot has not been revealed other than this tantalizing tidbit from screenwriter Malcolm Spellman: “Life is a jungle and welcome to it.” We’re hoping this means the film will be some kind of epic take down of Howard Stern… though it will probably end up being about wisecracking animals on a journey or something. [Variety] Martin To Follow Up Crow: Steve Martin is set to record a second album (after 2009’s The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo) with his touring group, the Steep Canyon Rangers. The actor plans to hit the studio in August and have the record out in early 2011. Martin will also be embarking on a new tour beginning April 19 in Detroit, and he'll stop by Bonnaroo in June along the way. The good news is this means no more Pink Panther movies for a long time. [Billboard] Harris-Moore Tale Gets Green Light: 20th Century Fox has bought the movie rights to the story of the search for 18-year-old fugitive Colton Harris-Moore, a young man who has eluded authorities as he “steals luxury cars, takes planes for joyrides, and breaks into vacation homes and helps himself to the owners’ food.” David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) is on board to produce and potentially direct the project. Harris-Moore currently has over 25,000 Facebook fans and has been named “America’s Most Wanted Teen” by Time Magazine, which we suppose makes him kind of like the Justin Bieber version of Catch Me If You Can’s Frank Abagnale Jr. [Deadline] Scorsese Goes 3-D: Martin Scorsese’s next project, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, due for a Dec. 9, 2011 release, will be shot in 3-D. The story is based on a best-selling children’s book centered on a 12-year-old orphan. Considering Scorsese said he thinks frickin’ Precious should have been in 3-D, this really should come as no surprise. [Variety] Bush Heads From Hill to South: One Tree Hill’s Sophia Bush has been cast in the ABC family comedy pilot Southern Discomfort. She’ll play Haley, a recent Harvard graduate who returns to Texas to reunite with an old boyfriend. While Hill hasn’t technically been canceled yet, this is a sign fans may want to cherish every last angsty glance this season. [HR] Paterson Family's Heart: Bedrock Studios and Arcady Bay Entertainment are teaming to bring Katherine Paterson’s fantasy novel The Flint Heart to the big screen. David Paterson, an Arcady Bay principal, will adapt his mother’s book, a story of "a magical amulet that brings power and despair to those who touch it.” And in case this wasn't incestuous enough for y'all already, know that Katherine collaborated on the novel with her husband, John Paterson, Sr. [Variety] Borenstein Attempts to Fix Man: Max Borenstein will write the latest draft of Man From U.N.C.L.E., Warner Bros’ film adaptation of the 1960s TV show. The project has been in development for some time, with David Dobkin on board to direct. Though Borenstein’s Jimi Hendrix biopic script ended up on last year’s Black List, the only film he’s written so far that's been made is something called Swordswallowers and Thin Men... which makes us worry this thing is in T.R.O.U.B.L.E.

And Now I'm Team Loco" George Lopez made it abundantly clear on Larry King Live tonight that he harbors no ill will toward Conan O’Brien for kicking him from his 11 p.m. spot on TBS to the midnight hour. In fact, Lopez sees them becoming “a same-sex Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball” that will “take late night into a new generation.” Lopez said that while the logistics haven’t been hammered out yet, he hopes that he and O'Brien will occasionally appear on each other’s shows. “We'll want to have some synergy…Conan and I talked about doing things together, about him being on the lot, about him and I doing pieces together back and forth, which I think is innovative for late night TV," he said.

Though yesterday the White House announced that Chinese president Hu Jintao had agreed to cooperate with the drafting of sanctions, it’s clear China has not made a full commitment, as Hu remains concerned about maintaining China’s supply of Iran-provided oil. "With respect to sanctions, I think that we have a strong number of countries on the Security Council who believe this is the right thing to do. But I think these negotiations can be difficult," Obama said at the summit's conclusion. "I am going to push as hard as I can to make sure that we get strong sanctions that have consequences for Iran as it's making calculations about its nuclear program, and that those are done on a timely basis."

Krugman ended his post with a bold challenge to the younger Times reporter: "I defy Sorkin to find any examples of me calling for a total takeover." Well, Sorkin took to his DealBook blog tonight and - in a post titled “Dear Professor Krugman…” - he doesn’t apologize, as Krugman had asked for, but instead reveals the “source material” he used for his initial column. "On your blog on Sept. 28, 2008, after reading a piece by Brad DeLong, an economist, which you linked to, you wrote, 'Brad DeLong says that Swedish-style temporary nationalization is the right answer to a financial crisis; he’s right,'" Sorkin writes. "In your column on Feb. 23, 2009, you asked, 'Why not just go ahead and nationalize? Remember, the longer we live with zombie banks, the harder it will be to end the economic crisis.'"

Lo. A few industrious Cal State Stanislaus students scrounged up a contract detailing Palin’s bizarrely specific demands for an upcoming speech at the university: She requires two bottles of water at her lectern, not just one; straws must be "bendable," not straight; and, the document specifies, "no Plexiglass or thin lecterns." Additionally, Palin’s “rider” demands first-class airfare for two. Or, if that’s too much of a hassle, a private jet is just fine, though it “MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger… for West Coast Events; or, a Hawker 800 or larger.” And if you’re transporting the former governor by car, it must be via SUV, though a “black town car” will suffice. After the students (who had heard “rumors” that the school might be shredding documents relating to the speech) found the five-page document in a campus trash bin, California state senator Leland Yee released a copy today, calling the incident “our little Watergate” at a news conference. Palin is reportedly being paid $75,000 to speak at the “cash-strapped university.” We can understand the “no plexiglass” stipulation (all the better to shield hand-reading), but we’re having trouble envisioning Sarah Palin adjusting a bendy straw.

Source: Daily Intel | 13 Apr 2010 | 6:12 pm American Idol Liveblog: Of Mics and Mentor
We’ve had two glasses of wine at Grand Lux Cafe and bring you this liveblog from the “comfort” of my parents’ bedroom in Miami. In other words, it’ll be a sh*tshow. Here we go! 8 PM: Seacrest sounds drunk. And we just remembered Michael was saved last week. Well, worse case scenario, if he gets booted again he can always create a brand of lip balm made out of his own saliva. 8:04: Lambert got a hold of the side-hair laminating machine. My mother things he looks fabulous, but I can’t help but be distracted by Matthew Morrison of Glee’s fedora in the background. If Carmen Sandiego is still where in the worlding, we found her. 8:05: “My tongue is not nearly as talented as yours.” — Ryan to Adam. Seacrest is throwing his balls high in the air tonight. American Idol is back people, and it is gaayyyy! We love it. 8:06: Crystal Bowersox is starting the show tonight, meaning it’s all downhill from here. 8:07: Sorry, it’s impossible to liveblog when my Mother is slapping her giant slipper against the tile and talking about what a great show Smoky Joe’s Cafe was. “That’s the song!” *snap snap* “slipper slap* “That’s it!” 8:08: Crystal’s killing it. “Let me tell you, Gloria Estefan can learn from her. Gloria Estefan sucks!” — Mom 8:10: Simon is speaking, and again, in the back, is Mr. Schuester’s fedora. Hat’s show biz. 8:15: Andrew Garcia just is not that great. And thank GOD Adam is being honest about his rendition of “Hound Dog.” “It needs more punch.” — Adam. Here, use our fist. 8:17: He can hold that microphone and strut cross the stage all he wants, but we are busy dirt napping it up. We wonder if his neck tattoo is there to cover up his Frankenstein bolts. 8:20: Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison should always sit behind Simon. Watching them feign shock at his comments is more entertaining than the performers. Have we mentioned that we’ve already seen tonight’s Glee? And it’s amazing? Great. 8:26: RYAN’S MOMMM! That hair, fantastic. Highlight tweeeyunzzz! 8:26: OMG when Tim Urban sang “falling in love with you” and looked at Adam I couldn’t help but think ~**<3<3**~. Also calling him Turban is surely going to cause him to lose votes from anti-Talibanners Ryan. 8:28: Me: “He sucks.” Mom: “Beyond Sucks.” 8:29: He pulled it together at the end. Mom: “I liked it! It was good.” And this is how I was raised. 8:30: MATTHEW MORRISON FEDORA WATCH: Still perked. They need to give us a close-up of Iqbal Theba ASAP. Adam’s golf clap tells us everything we need to know: That was good, but Lambert would have cracked that shit out of the park. 8:35: Really happy that Adam is being critical of these Idols, unlike Usher or Miley or really any of the other mentors. Lee Dewyze has been pretty good all season, but it’s true: If Chuck E. Cheese ever invested in a Bruce Springsteen animatronic robot, it would be Lee Dewyze. 8:38: Dewyze killed it. Kara tells him he gets too serious when he sings… um, that’s his style. What does she want from this guy? Even Morrison’s Fedora is WTF-shrugging. 8:40: Is it bad that Ryan said the name Aaron Kelly and I had no idea who it was? He looks like a newborn next to Adam. This is like a televised Make-A-Wish kid 3 days before the bucket kicking. 8:42: Not a huge fan of this song, but Aaron is much better than usual. Like… hitting the notessssuh. The Lambert energy has clearly infected these contestants, and judging by Adam’s golf clap and cheshire cat smile, he seems pleased. 8:46: That Siobhan and Adam outro was to die for. Please tell me she’s singing “Suspicious Minds.” She’s been off these past couple of weeks… she has to come back tonight, she just has to. 8:51: Love her look tonight. There must have been a sale on hair shellack. 8:51: OMFG SHE IS SINGING SUSPICIOUS MINDS!! Wait am I a genius? I can’t decide. (Yes.) 8:52: Aw Adam and Siobhan click. 8:52: What is with this country-ass background? What Elvis Geocities MIDI file did she rip this from? Siobhan, what happened??? She’s turned into a poor man’s Linda Ronstadt. I think even Linda would agree this is not a good idea. 8:56: MATTHEW MORRISON’S FEDORA WATCH: It is grimacing the sh*t outta me right now. 8:57: If Siobhan gets eliminated this week, and the Judges can’t save her because they saved Big Mike… I will not be pleased. 9:01: This KFC Double Down sandwich would nauseate me… but then I remember that their chicken’s don’t even have beaks or reproductive organs, and I relax. 9:02: I can’t believe Seacrest just threw down a Dunkleman burn.

(How about ;-S ?) If so, that emoticon would have been littered all over Twitter the past 24 hours, as news spread that Conan O'Brien will be returning triumphantly to late-night this fall on… TBS. We¹re guessing this wasn't the dramatic phoenix-rising conclusion Team Coco had been daydreaming about. No glitzy new three-hour juggernaut on FOX. No paradigm-busting mind-melter like, say, broadcasting a show directly to your Xbox. Instead, Conan will now be featured as a lead-in for Lopez Tonight (a show you don’t watch) on TBS (a cable channel you don’t watch, or at least never notice when you’re watching it). It's not just basic cable, it's unsexy basic cable. Twitter Nation's glee over Coco’s return was widely undercut by the fact that it's very hard to name three other original shows on his new channel. (No, Lopez Tonight doesn't count.) This doesn't mean it’s not a good deal for Conan. He got lots of money (reportedly his biggest deal ever) and important real-world concessions, such as ownership of the show, which Fox wouldn't guarantee. And, of course, Coco’s online fans are saying all the right things about DVRs, the obsolescence of timeslots, and their willingness to follow him anywhere — even to the channel that was once proud to bring you Frank TV.

Last week, they were speaking out against the man by dancing and Facebooking. Now they've got an online petition up and are talking to Bloomberg. “Right now, we shouldn’t be celebrating someone who represents the banking industry coming to our campus,” Amelia Pernell, a senior who is majoring in communications, tells the news service. The university offered this meek defense:
For his part, Dimon is remaining uncharacteristically silent on this matter. We suspect this is for one of three reasons. 1. He is currently standing in his office, yelling, "I'll go down there and show those Marxists what is up," but JPMorgan spokeswoman Jennifer Zuccarelli and colorful flack Joseph Evangelisti, both of whom declined to comment to Daily Intel, are physically holding him back.

By the end, it seemed like a good portion of his chief of staff Joe Racalto's job was devoted to reining him in (and according to sources, even he was the subject of Massa's advances). Here's a rundown of the accusations against Massa, which eventually led to a House Ethics Committee complaint and Massa's departure from office: • From March 2009 onward, male staffers "complained that their boss had touched them in a sexual manner, came up with reasons to have staffers travel alone with him on overnight trips, and expressed a desire to have sex with the men in the office." • Three male staffers who lived in a townhouse with Massa had to be warned in a staff memo to "be extra careful who you bring home and how you conduct yourself, especially when EM is present" and not to "put EM in a position where he is sleeping and questionable activities are taking place."

"They wanted to talk to me, but I apologized and said I like to read and watch on planes," Frank told us today.

(Prices range from $90 for a tank to $780 for a leather jacket.) Gilt has previously done full-price sales with Lucky and Vogue. Unlike flash sales, this will last a week. If you spend at least $250, purchases come with an exclusive Helmut Lang tank and a $50 credit toward a future Gilt purchase. It's the perfect amount of credit to ensure that you'll spend at least $50 to $60 on top of it. And then if you return or exchange something you'll have more credits to spend, and before you know it you're only shopping on Gilt in a vicious but highly addictive cycle of trying to use up those damn credits, which feel less and less like actual money from your bank account. And maybe that's the strategy behind the anti-sales. Since everything on Gilt is on sale, the non-sale stuff feels like shopping a sale anyway.

In fact, her older sister Lily introduced Ruby to modeling in 2005. Then the California girl started to make waves in the high-end commercial front, booking campaigns for DKNY and Coach. Meanwhile her spreads in French Jalouse were coming out monthly. Off set, the music-loving, concertgoing model became something of an Internet sensation when she started to pad around the East Village with Peaches Geldof, Harley Viera-Newton, and Cobrasnake.
