Source: Entertainment - Google News | 14 Apr 2010 | 11:59 pm Industry Roundup: Efron in Snabba, Weisz Will Play Jackie O Snabba Dabba Doo: Zac Efron will star in a remake of Snabba Cash, a film for Warner Bros. which the teen royal will also produce. Snabba, based on a novel by Jens Lapidus, was a hit film in Sweden this year, and the project set off a bidding war amongst the Hollywood studios. It follows three storylines involving drugs and organized crime; Efron will play a young man who aims for a large payoff by becoming a runner for a coke dealer. Things get awkward though when the dealer has to wait for his runner to finish a cheesy love ballad sung to the camera before unloading his stash. [HR] Weisz Takes On Jackie: Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz are attached to Jackie, a film written by TV producer Noah Oppenheim that will follow Jackie Kennedy in the days after the assassination of JFK. Though the film is still in need of financing, the announcement of the real-life couple’s involvement means Weisz is probably safe going on a celebratory pillbox hat shopping spree this weekend. [Deadline] Davis Lends Help: Viola Davis is in talks to star in DreamWorks’ adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s best-seller The Help. Davis would play the maid, Aibileen, who is interviewed by an aspiring writer (Emma Stone) and sets off “shock waves” through their 1960s Mississippi community because of her candid answers. Good thing Twitter wasn't around back then or Aibileen probably would have gotten in trouble way earlier. [Variety] Ultimate Frisbey: Astrid Berges-Frisbey, a Barcelona-born French actress, has been cast in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as the mermaid Syrena. It is unclear whether she was subject to the Pirates "screening process" for actresses leaked earlier this month. [Variety] Fletcher In For Kreuk: In a last-minute switch, Sara Fletcher will replace Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Chuck) as the female lead in Josh Schwartz’s CBS comedy pilot Hitched about a newlywed couple. Kreuk is probably not used to situations in which Clark Kent doesn't arrive in the nick of time to rescue her.

Source: Vulture | 14 Apr 2010 | 11:34 pm Matthews and Maher Discuss 'Attractive' Palin-Bachmann Pairing On tonight's Hardball, Chris Matthews and guest Bill Maher discussed the appeal of Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, who appeared together at a Minnesota rally last week, and it took no time at all for things to get skeevy. First Matthews stammered as he said, in introducing the segment, “They showed up together looking -- well, they're attractive ladies…” This was more than enough for Maher to pounce on: “I think you're right. You hit on something there. They're attractive, especially to the Republican party which is not known as a party that really does well with the opposite sex. Usually they're doughy white men. I think they look on Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin as, you know, MILFs... and I agree. They're morons I'd like to forget.”

Love said that while she “gets” the appeal of Pattinson among the Twihard set, her two picks for the Cobain role are Ryan Gosling or James McAvoy.

The typical Tea Party supporter is a white, male, married Republican whose problems with the Obama administration are based on ideological, political reasons, as opposed to anxieties about his “personal economic situation.” While they may look and act like any ordinary Republican, the Tea Party supporter contingent is in fact more conservative on most issues than the Republican base, and Tea Partiers are also an older bunch in comparison to the entire GOP base. And while the typical Republican would say he is “dissatisfied” with Washington, a Tea Party supporter would describe himself as “angry.” But there is one thing Tea Party supporters and the country’s liberal contingent can agree upon: the majority of Tea Partiers said they do not believe Sarah Palin - who addressed Tea Party backers in Boston this morning - is qualified to be president.

Today, the New York Times’s Milena Ryzik investigates Banksy’s new documentary (and Sundance hit) Exit Through The Gift Shop — asking, essentially, if the film is actually a satire, and the subject, French-Californian filmmaker-turned street artist Mr. Brainwash, has been created to dupe the art world and mock the burgeoning art-factory system. Mr. Brainwash himself, a.k.a. Thierry Guetta, didn’t respond to her queries, but we spent three hours with Mr. Brainwash before the opening of his recent Manhattan art show “Icons.” Our two cents? The show was so wretchedly derivative, repetitive, and insultingly insipid that it we felt it could only have been an intentional prank: With its prints of famous figures Mr. Brainwash said he couldn't name from memory, and art made out of broken LPs (a staple of junk sales), it was as if they were taunting hipster collectors into buying the worst possible art, to prove their hideous, herd-following taste. (Not to mention journalists' unethical gullibility: Mr. Brainwash kept trying to push a framed print on us, while mentioning how much we could sell it for on eBay.) We definitely felt put on (even if we respected the prank), but we couldn't prove it. So we tried to get him to admit it. The process was maddening. So, this show is about icons. I see Bill Gates. Um, is that how you hope people approach you? Plenty say this feels like a prank. Can you prove it’s not? It will become important if a significant number of people come to your show saying it’s a prank. So if anyone deserves to be pranked, it's the art world… Earlier, you said that, like Madonna or Oprah, you’re going to build a school with your proceeds? What proof do you have of that? For Banksy to direct or produce a fictional artist wouldn't be surprising. Let’s say you’re a paid actor, and great at improvising lines, like Borat. People might even think this will make these pieces more valuable, not less. For instance? If humans are the most interesting art, then it would make sense that your performance is your real art. Yes, someone like Jeff Koons employs actors to create his pieces. But that's not the same as an actor playing a guy who runs an art studio. Are you someone else acting as Thierry Guetta? For starters, if you asked me, I would just say no, I’m not. Read more posts by Logan Hill Filed Under: charades, art, bansky, exit through the gift shop, movies, mr. brainwash, thierry guetta

Holder added that the Southern District of New York - which includes the Bronx, Westchester, Rockland and surrounding counties - could be a better venue for the trials, as it is “a much larger place than simply Manhattan.” Meanwhile, as the wait for an official announcement continues, Sen.

Source: Daily Intel | 14 Apr 2010 | 4:03 pm Wait, Eminem Is Putting Out a New Album Introducing Recovery! A half-day after tweeting “There is no Relapse 2,” Eminem has followed it up with another message, this one reading "RECOVERY" with a link to his site. There, one will find the official press release for his new album, complete with a June 22 release date. From scrapped album to surprise announcement — what an emotional roller-coaster ride. Says Em of the name change:
This new direction is certainly an interesting development. Many, many people bought Relapse — it sold nearly two million copies, more than any other rap album last year — but that’s more due to Eminem’s superstar status proving to be unsullied by his pill-addiction and self-imposed absence, and less due to Relapse’s commercial appeal (it’s a pretty weird album). So is Eminem abandoning Relapse’s sound to ... get more commercial? That’s what the producers announced so far — D.J. Khalil (Clipse, Fabolous), Jim Jonsin (this guy), Boi-1da (Drake), and Just Blaze (everyone) — seem to suggest. Eminem has sold 78 million albums over his career: Is he trying to see how many more he can sell before the industry completely collapses? Or is he maybe just out of intimate drug-addiction details or unsettling pop-star murder fantasies to relate?

On April 6, he announced in a tweet that he and Jenny McCarthy had ended their five-year relationship, and since then he's been sending out way-too-frequent gibberish-filled 140-character dispatches, a couple of which have managed to offend ("No wife is blind enough to miss that much infidelity … Elin [Woods] had 2 b a willing participant on the ride 4 whatever reason. kids/lifestyle"). Now, because a few followers worried for his sanity, he's denied in a tweet that he's depressed or on any anti-depressants, and released a statement that's nearly as strangely worded and inscrutable as one of his tweets (at least it doesn't include any emoticons). Here's his statement via a publicist (who is presumably thrilled about all of this):

I’m no vagina professor (still two years from tenure), but doesn’t it seem a bit backwards to have a reality tv star sledgehammering a goofy vaginal euphemism on a brightly covered 80s-Double Dragon graffiti wall to make talking about vaginas less weird? No, it doesn’t? Fine. We’ll revisit this when I get that vagina tenure.

But perhaps the word journalists and analysts have been looking for all along was wasteful, because for one, CEO Mike Jeffries cost the company $1.1 million on personal travel alone for use of the private Abercrombie jet in 2008. His 2009 plane expenditures — for personal travel alone — haven't been revealed yet. However, the company has agreed to pay him a lump sum of $4 million for limiting his use on the jet to $200,000 worth of personal travel. If he goes over, he must reimburse the company. This deal might be worth it for Abercrombie, since Jeffries's contract runs through 2014 and he was previously allowed unlimited personal use of the jet. He must sure enjoy his flights. What do they have on the Abercrombie jet, anyway? Naked people riding elephants?

But at least Wendy Williams was woman enough to think that there's nothing a man can do that a woman can't do better. "We can have babies, you know what I mean," she said. "I love men, but I find men to be a luxury, not a necessity." That is, until she gets in car trouble while wearing the wrong clothes. "I would love to learn how to change a tire, a flat tire. And also check oil," she admitted. "Because there are times in a woman’s life where AAA is not going to come fast enough, and you have on an outfit that is not appropriate standing on the side of the street waiting for roadside assistance, if you know what I mean."

Source: The Cut | 14 Apr 2010 | 2:50 pm Record-Breaking Rental in Bridgehampton At this time last year, lowballers were combing the Hamptons for underpriced property like old men with metal detectors. Now out in Bridgehampton, somebody with loads of money has broken a real-estate record by renting an eleven-and-a-half-acre estate known as "the Sandcastle" for $500,000. For two weeks. In July! That beats Howard Stern's million-dollar rental (for the entire season) on Meadow Lane back in go-go 2007. This mansion, built and owned by luxury developer Joe Farrell, has nine bedrooms and eleven-and-a-half bathrooms with tennis, squash, and racquetball courts, a bowling alley, and a half-pipe for skateboarders. It's also on the market for $49.5 million. Who has that much richness to rent a property for just two weeks? A publicist from the Corcoran Group, which handled the sale, wouldn't comment on the tenant or any other specifics. Let the speculation begin. Read more posts by S.

The set up is that they are getting a make over at charm school. I didn’t watch a ton of Jersey Shore because of my terrible second hand embarrassment problem. Obviously people love it.

"I loved the Rodarte for Target collaboration, and I bought a lot of it and wear it," she gushed at the launch party for Fenton/Fallon's limited-edition jewelry collection for J.Crew last night. She added, "I love what Vena Cava did for Converse." Singer also said she wears a lot of J.Crew, which one would expect from a hostess of a J.Crew party. "I buy a lot of the shirts because I love the way that they’re fitted from the inside," she told us. "Whenever they work with Liberty or any of those shirtmakers I buy even more of them. I buy pants here. I buy flats here, all the little ballet slippers and things. Not only do I buy J.Crew, everyone I know buys J.Crew." Even Anna Wintour? "I never ask Anna Wintour what she’s wearing." Singer replied. " I don’t speak for my boss’s clothes. But a lot of people at Vogue wear J.Crew." Things must be busy over at the Vogue offices — Singer revealed that CBS's one-hour special on Fashion's Night Out has started filming, though she's not involved in the project. Lastly, we wondered if Vogue would jump on the plus-size model trend. "I’ve seen plus-size models in Vogue! I write about plus-size models all the time!" Singer countered. "We went shopping with Marina Rinaldi, I just did Kate Dillon in Vogue. We’ve done Mia Tyler. We’ve done plus-size models. I’m not talking, 'Oh, she’s a size 8.' Ashley Graham is probably a size 16. We’ve definitely had plus-size models in Vogue, and readers respond to them."

Source: The Cut | 14 Apr 2010 | 2:20 pm American Idol: Ryan Seacrest Laughs While Dunkleman Hangs Himself
American Idol welcomed back an old friend last night, the chicly exuberant and coyly daring Adam Lambert, who exceeded most anyone’s expectations as mentor to the Season 9 Idols. Most celebrity mentors don’t want to ruffle too many feathers by being over critical of the contestants; Adam, on the other hand, is the feathers. He’s been through the reality contest’s wringer, he knows what the judges want, and perhaps most importantly, he knows that this season is pretty much hopeless. If these kids have any hope for a career once the show ends, they should approach Adam much like Beatrix Kiddo approached Pai Mei in Kill Bill 2, and refuse to get off stage until their vocal knuckles are bleeding.
What was up with Ryan Seacrest last night? From his hypersexual tongue innuendo (which Lambert wasted no time in pointing out), to his odd little dance before Andrew’s performance, to — perhaps the biggest no no of them all — touching Mr. Schuester’s (Matthew Morrison’s) SACRED FEDORA, to mentioning DUNKLEMAN, something was off. Way off. We bring you video evidence of Seacrest’s odd behavior last night, and ask you to leave your guesses as to what Seacrest was on last night in the comments. Could it be the hardest working man in ho-biz is cracking? We pray no. We love Seacrest the way babies love their gay dads: A heck of a lot.

May I call you Liam and Kings? My name’s Sarah Walker and I would like to say something. First, Liam. Although I am not a huge Oasis fan, my friend Mike is a super fan, and I have witnessed him become best friends with people who he would otherwise despise purely through a shared love of Oasis. It’s called the “Oasis Connection” and it’s real. Kings, I enjoy your music. Even though sometimes your songs sound the same to me. Sort of like this: Ra ra ra ra ra ra raaaaaa. And your video for “Use Somebody” reminds me a lot of Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” In fact, let’s compare them now:
My point, Liam and Kings, is that you are great musicians who are very good at what you do. You’ve got the adoring fans, sold out stadium shows and a ton of money. So much money. So why. Why, I ask you, are designing overpriced clothing? When I say overpriced I mean that Liam, your line, Pretty Green, sells cotton t-shirts for $90. Meanwhile, Kings, your clothing line, KOLxS2A, sells such hard to find items as a red bandana for 65 pounds. POUNDS! That’s like a gazillion times for expensive than dollars! Now I can hear you now, Liam and Kings. You’re saying that all designer clothing is over-priced. You’re probably all swearing at me right now. And to be honest, I’m sort of frightened of all of you. But guys. These are cotton t-shirts, sorry, Egyptian cotton t-shirts, and red bandanas that you can find in your local Army Navy store we’re talking about. And this isn’t your only source of income-remember those super successful bands you’re in? This is a pet project to take advantage of your huge fan base who already shells out hundreds of dollars to see you play live. Maybe that’s cynical. And I’m sorry for that. Kings, maybe you wanted to design red bandanas and skinny black jeans ever since you were growing up in Tennessee. Maybe as a young lad in Manchester, Liam, you always wanted to design Fred Perry-esque polos. I know those are very popular in En-ga-land. It’s just that it would be INFINITELY cooler of you guys to price these clothes according to what they are. To be men of the people. My friend Mike can’t afford all the Pretty Green he wants and that makes him sad. Let us get closer to you. Just, like, please stop being elitist dicks. Because, even though I know that’s not where you came from, that’s what you’re doing.

News: Fashion News | 14 Apr 2010 | 11:16 am LOST RECAP: Everybody Loves HugoThis is a Recap of Lost Season 6, Episode 12 entitled “Everybody Loves Hugo”, originally airing April 13, 2010. Surprisingly, for the first time ever, this week’s Recap actually doesn’t contain any spoilers, so please read on if you haven’t watched the episode. The majority of the post is actually a detailed diatribe about the Mumia Abu-Jamal trial, with several references to pre-Production Code silent cinema. Just felt like switchin’ it up. AD-LIBBYING (OR, DIED CHICKEN)
Hurley gets set up on a date with some random Hispanic name that I don’t feel like looking up — Mexico? — and Hurley’s stuck eating bowls of chips by himself which I’m SURE HE REALLY HATES AMIRIGHT!!! (Awww man, sending that line back in time so Dr. Chang can use it in his speech, it’ll kill. I’m setting off another bomb to make this happen.) Suddenly, a figure looms over the bemenued Hugo…could it be Libby?? Surprise! It IS exactly the person you thought it was before they even did the token “back of head” flash-sideways shot!
Desmond strikes up a conversation with Hurley, attempting to disguise his obvious intent with his Euro-charm, and after squeezing Hurley’s Libby story out of him, innocently suggests “Maybe you should talk to her if she’s seeing magic f***ing visions of you.” Hurley agrees, and Desmond’s covert little “push” is successful — nice Jacob impression, Desmond! Ooh, ooh! Now do Columbo! There’s just one more thing, brothah! Wooo!!! Paragraph cocktail party!! While that paragraph is entertaining its New Yorker friends, this paragraph is explaining that Hurley bribes X-Men senator with a $100,000 donation to his hospital gameroom — solid gold Connect Fours for all! — and earns a conversation with Libby, who’s there voluntarily (d’oh!) and agrees to go out with Hurley…You mean, on a date? [Instant lawsuit from every high school movie from 1979-2001... let's just ignore that line...] They spend the afternoon at Island Replica Beach, where a combination of the oceanfront, Libby kissing him, and a Kodiak bear running amok finally cause Hurley to have his Libby visions! Welcome to the Island Knower Abouter Club, Hugo! Too bad you didn’t get here before we chose its terrible name.
Desmond = Mission accomplished. Time to go spy on some kids and run over cripples! Or as Hurley calls it, LUNCH! Still on a roll!!!!! After the jump, those things I just talked about happen: HURLEY BLOWS IT – GOODLIKE!
Hurley casually mentions his doubts about the plan to Richard, who’s about to shrug him off when suddenly, Ilana explodes, and everyone’s like “Whoa, hold the coconut phone! Let’s talk about this!” Richard isn’t deterred by Ilana blowing up, and proceeds with the pre-she-just-effing-exploded plan, but his momentum is again dashed when Hurley detonates all the dynamite, inviting another round of intense Charlie Brown-esque “You can’t do anything right!” criticism from his peers. Yeah – can’t do anything right like a fox! Hurley sticks to his guns (the guns of a mostly uninteresting dead character) and tells the group they have to talk to Locke, and when Richard gets uncharacteristically angry (the Youtube vid of him losing his sh*t may cost him in the next Gotham election), Hurley tells the group that he’s talking to Jacob and that Jacob wants them to talk to Locke. Richard is again skeptical and tells Hurley to ask Jacob “what the island is,” and Hurley’s like, “You’ll have to trust me. What’s that now, Jacob? You want me to eat a whole tree? You got it!” Richard draws a line in the sand (not literally lol) and tells people to make their choice, and gets Ben and Miles on his three-on-three basketball team, while Jack bucks the trend and goes with Hurley, which makes Hurley instantly nervous because he knows whatever Jack decides is stupid. They proceed off into the forest, with Jack primed and ready to look like a giant p*ssy the moment he sees Locke. WELL WELL WELL (THE REAL WELL WAS THE SECOND ONE)
Along the way, Locke and Desmond lock(e) eyes with the Jacob ghost kid, who Desmond is able to see just like Sawyer was, but Locke tells Desmond “Just ignore that smiling magic ghost kid who looks like the god of the island, why would he be in any way important?” Locke takes Desmond to the old stone well, throws a torch down it, and explains that because that well is deep and old, Charles Widmore just wants power and doesn’t care about the island. Desmond’s like, “I follow that logic.” Locke gets pissed that Desmond isn’t afraid of him, and with Ilana-exploding speed, throws Desmond down the well and delivers the Arnold one liner, “Ahhl’s well dat ends well!” Upon his return, Locke is soon greeted by Hurley, who gets him to agree to a truce (even though Locke can’t kill the candidates, right?) and Locke gives Hurley his knife as a sign of sportsmanship (even though Hurley can’t kill Locke with it, right? Is anyone actually making a compromise here?) Hurley tells his comrades to come out of the woods, and Jack, Sun, and Frank (still on the show!) emerge from the woods. Jack and Locke lock(e) eyes, and Jack looks really cartoonishly timid, while Locke looks like, 5% too orgasmy. To be continued. THE ONE WHERE DESMOND RUNS OVER THE WHEELCHAIR MAN
Are we to assume Desmond’s goal with Locke is the same as with Hurley, to make him remember the island? We’ve learned that the memory flashes aren’t necessarily triggered by seeing a “true love,” even though that’s what happened to Hurley and Charlie (and possibly Sawyer when he saw Kate at the end of his ep) but that’s just one way of them happening; Desmond’s own flashes happened when Charlie replicated being underwater and putting his hand up against glass, not when he saw Penny.
Oh also, Michael admitted that the whispers on the island are the ghost people trapped there. We figured that out two seasons ago, Lost, but thanks for making it not that. Looking forward to next week’s Willy Wonka episode — who’s gonna have a millipede on their face during the “why the f*** are kids watching this” boat montage?

Months of anticipation for a show whose annoying qualities are somehow endearing and addictive, and now, in my hands, I held 135 minutes of sheer dorky musical theater bliss. Last night’s episode, “Hell-O,” started strong, but tried too quickly to set up too many new relationships while destroying some of our favorite old ones. We met two new characters from Vocal Adrenaline. There was Jesse St. James, played by Tony Nom Jonathnan Groff, a regular Glee Harvey Oswald, and the leader of Vocal Adrenaline, Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel, National Train Spokesman Taye Diggs’ wife), who had a shockingly passionate make-out scene with Mr. Schuester that had us singing into a working hose to cool off. In the end, it was still enjoyable… but nothing close to the EPICNESS of next week’s tribute show to the woman, the legend, the icon that is Madonna. “The Power of Madonna” is the Glee episode that will change the way you look at this show. If you have friends who aren’t converts — and yes, we all do — this is the episode that will (or won’t) hook them. If after witnessing “The Power of Madonna,” your friend still isn’t hot on Glee, might we suggest you Efriendday them on Acebookfay. We don’t want to spoil anything for you, because what’s the fun in that? And look! Fox already spoiled one of their “viral” highlights of the episode, Sue Sylvester’s “Vogue.” Who knew that with the help of hundreds of terabytes of autotune, Jane Lynch can actually sing? You can watch the entire thing here. And not to spoil the mood, but apparently Madonna has never even heard of Glee. Too busy watching The Marriage Ref, apparently. Ahead, a chill-inducing preview of this unmissable episode. And tell us what you thought of last night’s episode in the comments while I buy Lionel Richie’s “Hello” cover off of Itunes.
