Source: Vulture | 16 Apr 2010 | 4:15 pm A Perfect Addition to the Half-Hooker Economy: Chelsea’s New Hotel for Models UrbanDaddy newsletters are such a Friday-afternoon treat. Today's came with the subject line "Models. A Hotel. You." Oooooh! Us, REALLY? Well, technically no, not us, really, but models, really. And rich men who want to ogle them, really. The half-hooker economy expands its reach in the hospitality area from nightclubs to Fashion 26, a new Wyndham Hotels gimmick conceived to reel in fashion models. Models, agencies, and designers get discounts on the 280 rooms, and the hotel doesn't charge extra if agencies want to cram extra girls into a room. So they can theoretically put as many girls in one room as they want. UrbanDaddy knows what this is really about. Not models, but men who want to be near them. And they are gloating:
Pish posh — models have neither tan lines nor celery stick recipes. But this is a mildly interesting addition to the half-hooker economy. Whereas in nightclubs models don't have to pay up front to get through the door, here both parties have to pay to stay. Does that make the models (or their agents) self-employed half-pimps?

This week, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner reportedly announced that the show won't go beyond six seasons. Weiner is said to have "unceremoniously" revealed the news at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, where he participated in a Q&A Tuesday night. Weiner's fixed-end-date decision (which he's hinted at before) is similar to those made by the creators of The Sopranos and Lost. While it's hard to imagine a Mad Men–less summer and early fall, it's even harder to contemplate Don Draper disco dancing at Studio 54, now isn't it?

Source: Vulture | 16 Apr 2010 | 3:50 pm Not Having a Prenup Is a Great Reason to Try to Work Things Out This week, the 76-year-old, miraculously eight-times-married Larry King filed for divorce from his beautiful wife, Shawn Southwick. Later in the week, we learned that there was no prenup for their 1997 marriage — meaning that Southwick could go for half of his estimated $144 million fortune. Then today came headlines that the couple is attempting to reconcile. "Sources intimately familiar with the situation tell TMZ, Shawn and Larry both say they love each other and both would like to figure out how to work things out, but there's one little thing standing in the way," TMZ writes. "Shawn believes Larry is still shtupping her sister." Still, the pair is meeting with a marriage counselor on Monday. Now, the prospect of losing half of your money seems like a pretty good reason to try to work things out. But presumably Larry already knew he didn't have a prenup with her. So maybe this is true love? Or maybe Larry talked to CNN and realized the renewal prospects for his multi-million-dollar multi-year contract, which is up in roughly a year, weren't as promising as he may have thought.

Source: Daily Intel | 16 Apr 2010 | 3:45 pm James Ivory on The City of Your Final Destination and What It Means to Be a ‘Merchant Ivory Film’ James Ivory is synonymous with a particular kind of film; usually a period piece, often a romance starring Anthony Hopkins and/or Helena Bonham Carter, and pretty much always immaculately produced. His latest, The City of Your Final Destination, may not be a period piece, but it does have Anthony Hopkins, and it is, on some level, a romance. The film also marks a poignant crossroads for the Berkeley-born American filmmaker: It was the first made entirely without producer Ismail Merchant, Ivory's longtime partner, who died in 2005. Ivory recently sat down with Vulture to talk about the difficulties of adapting Peter Cameron’s novel, missing Merchant, and about what constitutes a “Merchant Ivory film.” One senses that this film was a very personal project for you. There’s even footage in the film from one of your earliest films, Venice: Themes and Variations. This was the first film you produced entirely without Ismail Merchant, your longtime partner. What was that like? Your films have always been notable for the presence of actors from very different traditions, with very different styles. How do you do it? When other directors try that sort of thing, they usually wind up with actors who look like they’re in different movies. Are you hands-on with the actors? Do you feel like sometimes your work gets pigeonholed because of some of its surface elements — people will say something is “like a Merchant Ivory film,” just because it’s a period romance or whatever?

Source: The Cut | 16 Apr 2010 | 3:25 pm Patricia Field Isn’t That Sad That Ugly Betty Is Over Patricia Field is looking at the bright side of losing her costume-design gig on the canceled series Ugly Betty. “I enjoyed it, it was great. I was satisfied with it, it’s over,” she mused when we ran into her this week at the premiere of the HBO movie You Don’t Know Jack. And she’s even a little relieved to be able to concentrate on shorter projects. “Actually, I’m trying to ease up a little on that everyday go-to-work thing with movies and TV shows. So I’m kind of happy it’s created a little time for me to not be crazy. Because I was pretty crazy; I was doing Sex and the City, Ugly Betty, and every other thing,” she said. Field’s ongoing projects include consulting on advertisements, collaborations with accessories brands, and, of course, her store. “I have many things going on, so this is just letting me do it and take a breath in between.” And this entrepreneur, who landed on top of the fashion heap after starting out catering to drag queens in the Village, is now looking east. “I’m really into spreading out into China. I’m starting to do that; it’s good,” Field told us. She’s already done the costumes for one Chinese movie called Go Du Lala, Go, directed by the Chinese actress Xu Jinglei. But we won’t be seeing a House of Field boutique in Beijing any time soon; Field says she’s mainly focusing on collaborations in China for now.

Source: Variety.com - Front Page | 16 Apr 2010 | 3:02 pm Investors Salivating Over Bankrupt Rock & Republic Rock & Republic recently filed for bankruptcy, but it plans to keep operations running as smoothly as possible. They've hired some fancy suit-wearing types to get their finances in order and recruit some new investors. Those fancy suit-wearing sorts of people are reportedly all kinds of eager to invest in the label. Meanwhile, the label plans to refocus on its core apparel.
Rock & Republic's core apparel centered around $200 jeans, which the recession mostly pushed to the sale rack, ushering in what seemed to be a new, perhaps lasting age of affordable denim. But with their diffusion lines on hold, Levi's launching $200 jeans, and Hudson launching $995 jeans, that age sadly may not survive its infancy as the economy shows signs of recovery. Marvin Traub, who was recently hired as strategic adviser to Rock & Republic, said many candidates have shown interest in investing, since the brand has "a personality and a niche of its own." Traub was spotted this week having lunch at the Harvard Club with Michael Kramer, CEO of Kellwood Co. Traub was coy about the meeting, saying only that they "were talking broadly about business." Sure. We can just see them in there, relishing the seats they paid exorbitant dues to sit in, conspiring to revive the overpriced denim movement. The Harvard Club — founded for people used to ridiculously overpaying for everything — would be the nexus of such conspiracies.

Source: The Cut | 16 Apr 2010 | 3:00 pm Does Being Gay Help You Get Into College? According to the Times, which profiled gay college-recruiting events for its "Education Life" section, it doesn't. "Being gay does not lend an advantage, and the embrace is not universal inside admissions offices," writes Josh Schwartz. But more and more students are including gay story lines in their admissions essays, and there are a lot of scholarship programs specifically for LGBT youth. The very existence of gay-targeted recruiting events raises the question: When schools pick and choose candidates for a "diverse campus," including giving different weights to race, economic status, and geographic background, where does being gay fit in?

Source: The Cut | 16 Apr 2010 | 2:25 pm Party Lines Slideshow: After an SNL Panel, Lorne Michaels Says Betty White Is Finally Ready to Host At the Academy of Television Arts & Science’s panel discussion, “An Evening with Saturday Night Live,” moderated by Jimmy Fallon, Lorne Michaels clarified the backstory on how he ended up casting Betty White to host the Mother’s Day edition of the show on May 8. He said he’d actually thought about casting White as early as February, when she was at an Academy event honoring Don Pardo, and “she was unbelievably funny and charming, a real strong presence. The Facebook campaign [to pressure Michaels into getting White to host] was just beginning, and then it started gaining momentum, and we were all aware of it. The audience cast it.” And then Michaels called White — as well as Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ana Gasteyer, Rachel Dratch, Molly Shannon, and Maya Rudolph — and a Mother’s Day Special was born. (Jay-Z will be the musical guest.) But, honestly, why had it taken THIS long for White to get her first hosting gig on SNL? “I’m sure we offered Betty White the show in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, as well,” said Michaels, wearily. “And she’s 88 now, so, um, she’s ready.” See more from SNL cast members in our Party Lines slide show.

We had totally forgotten about it until just now, when the show’s trailer, fulfilling its inherent life-purpose, reminded us. Turns out Channel 4 actually paid for a production cycle and isn’t just airing the original shorts, although all oddball aesthetics and general lo-fi-ness appear to have been maintained. The only significant addition is an awesome one: The Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt is playing a member of Parliament that the animals are telling Penelope to kill. Ok, here’s the question, then — can we infer from Penelope getting a full-on series order that England’s current television-production community is really weird? Or, considering that they have to import quirky alt-comedy, are they, perhaps, not weird enough?

Source: The Cut | 16 Apr 2010 | 1:55 pm Gossip Girl Has Become the Person You Always Thought She Was This week's Gossip Girl brought all our characters together with a wedding (finally, a plausible excuse for them all to be at the same event), but the episode's events forced our players, and you, commenters, apart in heart. There was much debate over Blair and Chuck's demise, Lily's terrible lying skills, and cultural stereotypes. However, you did all agree on your love for Cyrus Rose. Give that man more episodes, writers! Anyway, on to your best comments, compiled this week by longwayfrombrooklyn. Realer Than Vodka by the Bucket at a Traditional UES Wedding • Chuck standing next to amazon model type reminds us all just how short he is. short and hairy. like a hobbit. but still hot. Plus 5 — chuckbassismybabydaddy • Also Plus 5 for Eleanor still treating Dan like a cater waiter. Eleanor is the best. — twinsfindme • Plus 100 for Cyrus's return. Plus an additional 100 for any one episode focusing largely on Cyrus, Dorota and Eric. Plus an additional 100 for that very episode featuring no Vanessa, and plus yet another 100 for Chuck's line about Nate and Serena debating whose hair is shinier. They really do write this for us now. — purpleandgreen • How is it that Cyrus Rose has the best hair on this show? WTF, is the CW too poor to employ hairstylists?! — legallybecks • At least 5 references to Blair's bulimia in this episode: Zofran, actual use of the word vomit, Blair coming out from her bathroom, staring at the buffet, being late to the pre-wedding ceremony, what else? Plus 5 because at least we didn't blink and miss it. Now bring it back as a full-blown storyline sometime in season 4, ok? — signaturescarf • chuck's crying scene in the dream is completely over the top and fake. Such an accurate representation of those old timey movies back when people thought the signature of a good actor was being as insanely dramatic as possible. plus 50. — pepsimax • Of course what really matters to Chuck is whether Jack and Blair actually had sex; the fact he just used the supposed love of his life to get his hotel back, all the while trying to make it sound as though she wanted to have sex with the guy who almost raped his stepmother is completely irrelevant to him at this point. Plus 20, because he is a hormonal young boy, after all. On the other hand, minus 50 because I thought Chuck was better than that. —awakebeauty • Jenny wears a dress stolen straight out of Serena's closet at the reception while she is trying to steal her man. Plus 2. — rip_chair • While Palm Beach is a believable place for William van der Woodsen to visit, it also contains one of the largest populations of gossipy old-money women in the world. There's no way someone wouldn't have spotted him or Lilly at Cafe Boulud or the Breakers, and everyone in the Upper East Side over 60 would know where they were. Plus 5, because bad boy Carter's informant is probably his Grandmother. — omgsammiches • Rufus really spent an entire episode brooding in his apartment like a scorned housewife, trying to play private investigator with nothing but a land line phone, all four of Lilly's last names and a waffle iron at his disposal? And in that awful sweater...did he learn nothing from Bart Bass, his PIs and swanky leather dossiers? Sigh. Plus 10 for the realism. — vanderlicious • Dan and Blair share a moment, and then, after an awkward pause, Blair says "your ice is melting". Plus 3 because being Blair's acquaintance is a lot like being on thin ice; its alright for a moment but linger too long and you'll drown. — chloehannah • Chuck apparently wears topsiders and a hip flask to bed. Plus 10, because, well, clearly. — cellardoor Faker than Blair and Dan. Just, No. • Serena to Chuck: "Buy her those Louboutins at Saks to let her know you're sorry." No, Serena. You go to the Louboutin boutique on Madison between 75 and 76. It's like ... a block away from you AND sans smelly tourists pawing over shoes they can't possibly afford. Minus 5. — vandymike04 • Dorota is all "It is most important tradition for happy couple to walk down aisle me and Vanya, or else marriage is jinx forever." And then just because Blair and Chuck can't do it, the tradition is abandoned? I don't think so. What about the happiest couple to ever grace Gossip Girl: Cyrus and Eleanor?! Minus 10. — uesallstar • Minus 15 for Blair causing a scene and interrupting Dorota's wedding. Not even the Queen B in her pre-emasculated glory days would pull such an utterly gauche and heartless move. It's not like Serena's getting married. — rebeccarose2004 • Elliot's not bi. Has his girlfriend ever seen him dance? Jesus. — blairismygracekelly • Minus 5 for Lily getting busted for not being at Canyon Ranch. For one thing, she'd have realized the flaws in the plan and counteracted them (she's practically a professional at lying). Also, I imagine it wouldn't have taken Rufus three episodes (a week and a half?) to see through it. — emmyloser • Nate is the first person Blair confesses the truth about her break-up with Chuck to? Doubtful! What girl wants to discuss the problems in her new relationship with her ex-boyfriend? Minus 10. — kindalikenateandlittlej • *Minus 10* - Blair asking for drugs to keep herself from vomiting. Please, any quasi-recovering bulemic looooves a good excuse to puke. — legallybored • Minus 5 for chuck's story line. It's like they decided to hire the screenwriter for Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I can understand that the powers that be (PTB) decided to go in a different direction and show Chuck can be vulnerable and has a heart, but that's not why anyone likes Chuck Bass; making him pathetic and naïve makes no sense. It would be like Serena cutting her hair, stopped wearing heals, started wearing dresses below the knee, and never showed cleavage. — zola1439 • I don’t care if it’s a dream sequence, Chuck would never imagine Blair in an outfit she’s already worn. It’s sacrilegious. Minus 3 — enliven • Minus 10 because nate seemed to understand not only the howard hughes reference but blair's way of saying "i whored myself out" without really saying it. archibald isn't that smart. — astorwaldorf • Its seems odd that Vanessa is MIA this episode. A Polish-Russian wedding honoring the hired help seems more up her alley than any of the other wasp-y events she was forced to attend as Dan's date. Minus 5. — melodyr • Because I really wanted to see Chuck and Nate’s fight end in a kiss. Minus 5 because it didn’t. — suenue • There's no way Lily would be secluded in a hotel room with her ex husband for weeks on end and answer the door, in the middle of the night wearing a white granny sweater and school marm bun. Minus 20 because it would be a silk teddy with questionable stains or their dirty sex sheet. — kdow3 • Minus only 1 for ridiculous cultural stereotypes at "eastern european wedding",because it was funny. At least for me (I'm belorussian). Trashy pop-song and vodka did not seem fake, thou. — tihii_omut • Minus 6 for Georgina not crashing the wedding. a) Like Blair, she has a weakness for weddings. Or more specifically in Georgie's case, wreaking havoc on wedding days. b) She still needs to get revenge on "Prince Alexei" (Vanya) for whisking her away from the UES. c) In the most recent several episodes, there has been an ongoing theme of role playing. In Gossip Girl world, Georgie practically INVENTED role playing! — blair215 • Minus 500 for no new episode next week. I was under the impression, Josh Schwartz, that we were to run uninterrupted until the finale. — merriweather Read more posts by longwayfrombrooklyn Filed Under: the greatest show of our time, gossip girl, the recap of the recap, tv

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 16 Apr 2010 | 1:38 pm Security Had to Protect Zac Posen in the Stairwell at His Target Party “I haven’t shopped at Target for myself, but I would now,” said Selma Blair, who obviously got to skip the several-blocks-long line to get into last night’s Zac Posen for Target party kicking off the 24-hour pop-up shop. (By the time we left, the queue stretched around the corner of Eighth Avenue and halfway down 34th Street.) Ginnifer Goodwin claimed to be more of a Target veteran: “Target’s kind of my go-to for everything, to be honest. Toilet paper, Zac Posen, everything.” She doesn’t have much patience with mobs, though: “I am easily overwhelmed, so if things start gettin’ bananas then I’ll just go online and order it.” “Bananas” was an apt description for the party itself, where clothes flew off the racks and revelers shot each other dirty looks when they inevitably bumped each other with their huge shopping bags. We spotted Mena Suvari being ushered in by several handlers as she looked longingly toward a rack of bathing suits and protested, “But I want to shop!” The VIP area wasn’t much of a refuge, and Michelle Trachtenberg stormed out past us exclaiming, “I mean, do people not wear deodorant?” Model-turned-designer Coco Rocha gave Posen a huge hug and chatted about the wedding dress he’s making for her. “I’ve never been a girl that knew her wedding dress — you know how girls plan their wedding dresses? That wasn’t me. So I showed him one thing that I loved, but that was it. I never imagined myself in a dress like that. And he put it beyond — he just went for it. And he collaborated with James [Conran, her fiancé] — James does paintings, and so James is helping a little bit to make the sculpting ideas.” Her dress was actually the last thing she thought about when planning her nuptials, which will take place in France in June. “And he still needs to find a suit,” she said, pointing toward her fiancé. Zac Posen himself could be seen flying back and forth to the dressing rooms with hangers full of clothes and various guests on his arm, but when he disappeared for about twenty minutes, we finally found him giving an interview in the building’s only quiet spot: the stairwell. His publicist was on the verge of a coronary (“People are leaving and he needs to get back out the party!”), and security was unprepared for the lockdown measures that became necessary when news spread of Posen’s location. When several paparazzi crowded into the emergency-exit doorway and started snapping pictures, Posen’s publicist snapped and lunged at their cameras. “Get out! You can’t be here!” she yelled, swiping at their lenses. Put off by the fierce affront by a slender, designer-clad blonde, the photographers slunk away. Back inside the party, Posen breathlessly exclaimed, “We live in the souk! Listen, this is my quote for the night — we live in the souk. We work, we play, we create, we pay, we get paid. It’s all part of the hustle and bustle that builds our country, and it starts in New York.” Read more posts by Charlotte Cowles Filed Under: party lines, coco rocha, designers, ginnifer goodwin, mena suvari, michelle trachtenberg, models, selma blair, target, zac posen

I felt I needed to know where [my character, Whiplash] spent a lot of years, and in this case that was in a Russian prison. So I wanted to see what that was like for myself. I didn’t tell Favreau I was going. I went over there for a few weeks and I went to the prisons in Moscow and I met with a prisoner who had just got out after 12 years … I tried to incorporate the whole Russian philosophy. I spoke to Favreau and I told him, ‘Well, I’d like to be able to speak Russian in the movie, I’d like to be able to use a Russian accent when I had to speak English and I also wanted to have a pet.'" —Iron Man 2 star Mickey Rourke [Inquirer] "I love working with him. He's my favorite actor to work with, and the only complicated thing is to find the right project." —Angelina Jolie on Brad Pitt [EW via HuffPo] "[I]t’s in 4D. Not only does it require special glasses, it requires a special helmet. And electrodes and a thing you have to put in your mouth so as to not bite off your tongue. We’ve gone past Avatar. … It’s almost as if you can taste, touch, and smell the Schmucks." —Paul Rudd on his upcoming Dinner for Schmucks [Popwatch/EW] "It feels so vindicating, the idea that everything the studios hated … is what everyone likes. Every studio said we had to lose Hit Girl if we were going to move forward with this thing, and Hit Girl is by far the most popular thing in this movie. And some of the notes we had were like 'If you are going to keep Hit Girl, make her 25 years old, cause you can’t have a child doing this stuff, no bad language, and don’t have her kill anyone. And if she kills anyone, she must regret it later.' Just stupid notes." —Kick-Ass writer/producer Mark Millar [/Film] "I remember in the first draft I read, there was, like, one dinner. So, much to my ultimate chagrin, I said to [director Ryan Murphy], ‘There’s just not enough eating! It is called EAT Pray Love.’ Of course, there I am stuffing my face in Rome every other day. I gained seven pounds in Italy." —Julia Roberts [Popwatch/EW] “It felt really weird kissing someone else as Bella. I was like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ It was a really strange experience — as it should have been." —Kristen Stewart on kissing Taylor Lautner, a.k.a. werewolf Jacob, in Twilight: Eclipse [Popwatch/EW] "It was a really tough crowd. I'm still struggling with my throat and I'm sucking these sweets to try and help me through. But yeah they were tough. I heard they were a little pissed off, I understand. I still loved it though, I just love being back on stage. Thank you so much for coming, I hope you enjoyed it." —Whitney Houston on her shaky England concert [Mirror UK] "My big concern was, 'She's way too good looking!' I was like, 'You need to gain weight, and the goal is to blow people's image of you into tiny little pieces. I'm going to make you look bad at every turn.'" —Meet Monica Velour director Kieth Bearden on the movie's star Kim Cattrall [Daily Express UK] "[I]t made me laugh a lot to hear her say 'cunt' a lot.

National Treasure? More like, His Real Life Treasure!
TMZ has learned Cage recently had a 9-foot tall pyramid-shaped super-tomb built in a New Orleans cemetery — with the expectation that it will be his final resting place.
It’s unclear why Cage chose a pyramid-shaped building — but it’s probably no coincidence that there happens to be a pyramid-shaped symbol on the poster for his classic film, “National Treasure.”
This raises one painfully obvious question: Why WOULDN’T Nicolas Cage buy a pyramid tomb to bury himself in? Name one reason why Nic Cage would not do this. You can’t, can you? Because he’s Nicolas Cage, and this had to happen, and if anything I’m shocked it took him this long after a second treasure-related movie to purchase an advance tomb based on one of the elements in that treasure movie franchise that can be used to bury oneself in.
He’s also altering his will to leave his entire fortune to Snake Eyes.

PHILADELPHIA — A New Jersey man is facing charges after police say he intentionally vomited on an 11-year-old girl and her father in the stands during a Phillies game…
Police say Clemmens made himself vomit on an off-duty police captain and his daughter after a companion was kicked out for unruly behavior.
Ever have that feeling where you wake up suddenly in a panic, wondering if maybe this’ll be the day you go over to the internet and find out it’s no longer there, or it is there but everything’s suddenly not the worst thing ever? I had one of those this morning after I woke up from an awful nightmare where my friends and were hanging out outdoors in the really nice weather, being really active and feeling really good about ourselves. WHEW! Thank God that was short-lived.
Glad to see everything’s still normal, dudes are stil forcing themselves to vomit on off-duty cops and their daughters as revenge for getting in trouble for unruly behavior, and we can proceed with wasting our lives as scheduled.
If stepmothers looked like this in the old fairy tales, maybe they wouldn't have such a bad name.
