Luckily, the two men are nothing if not tactful and the situation resolved itself rather neatly, like the end of a Wodehouse novel. In other matters of civility, Michael Caine told Jimmy Fallon about what he wanted to say to the Queen during his knighthood ceremony, but thankfully didn't, and Jon Stewart made an impassioned plea to Apple about their mishandling of the iPhone 4G investigation. Finally, Stephen Colbert took a hallucinogen on his show and was greeted by an ideal spirit guide: comedian Eugene Mirman. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

The film, written and directed by Sarah Polley, will follow a young woman (Williams) whose infidelity struggles lead her to the discovery that she is “addicted to the honeymoon period of her relationships.” Silverman will play the sister of Williams’ character… kidding! She’ll play Rogen’s sister, duh. [Variety] Double Team: Richard Gere and Topher Grace will star in The Double, a spy thriller that centers on the investigation of the murder of a senator in Washington at the hands of “a Soviet assassin long thought to be dead.” Gere’s retired CIA operative will team with Grace’s young FBI agent to find the killer. Screenwriter Michael Brandt will make his directorial debut with the film, which was written by Brandt and writing partner Derek Haas (Wanted, 3:10 to Yuma). The casting is sure to excite fervent Gere Heads with bad tastes in their mouths since Nights in Rodanthe, and Videogum.com. [HR] Commando Redux: 20th Century Fox is moving forward with a remake of Commando, charging David Ayer (Training Day) with writing and directing a new version of the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger film which catapulted him to stardom. Ayer will be putting his own “real-world spin” on the original story, as the plot will be centered on a retired elite special forces operative who sees his daughter get kidnapped and is told she’ll die unless he gets on a plane and “kills the rival of a nasty exiled dictator.” So it sounds like “real-world spin” is basically just code for “more boring” since in the original, of course, Schwarzenegger took down everyone everywhere. [Deadline] Six It Is: ABC has ordered six episodes of The Six, a game show which originated in Russia in which teams work together to solve "nontrivial logic puzzles" within 60 seconds. “When was the last time you saw a group dynamic that wasn't about backstabbing?"

The story is focused on a teenage girl (Cosgrove) whose life actually improves when her parents get divorced; when they try to get back together, she tries to keep them apart.

As manufacturers from Sony to Samsung are busy at work on 3-D TV sets for consumers, CBS president Les Moonves voiced doubts today about the conversion of television programs to 3-D, claiming he hasn’t been inspired by the visual quality of what he’s seen thus far. "Does the experience get good enough on television to work? I'm not sure it's going to be economically viable for the near future," he said at a global conference in Beverly Hills, claiming that 3-D prototype conversions he has seen of old episodes of Star Trek “did not knock him out.”

Source: Yahoo! News: Entertainment Reviews | 28 Apr 2010 | 9:41 pm Obama Speaks Out Against 'Conservative' Judicial Activism Barack Obama offered a warning today about the increasing prevalence of “conservative” judicial activism, as he believes courts aren’t showing proper deference to lawmakers’ decisions. The president said he won’t be choosing his second nominee to the Supreme Court specifically based on their views on judicial restraint, but it’s clear from his remarks that he believes courts are currently vested with too much power, and that this will affect his decision to a certain extent. Talking with reporters on Air Force One today, Obama discussed judges who he believes have essentially ignored the democratic, political process and instead imposed judicial solutions. "In the '60s and '70s, the feeling was, is that liberals were guilty of that kind of approach," Obama said. "What you're now seeing, I think, is a conservative jurisprudence that oftentimes makes the same error."

No.Is someone pouring a little Kool-Aid into the iconic American Idol judges’ Coca-cola cups? Because given the river of praise flowing out of their mouths following some of the worst Idol performances in history, it almost felt like we were watching a completely different show. Last night’s theme was one we’ve all been waiting for: Shania Twain, who brought her usual perkiness and change-the-radio-channelniness to arguably the largest concert stage in television history. And one after another, these young men and women who have been thrust into the spotlight perhaps too hastily proceeded to butcher Twain. Listen to what we’re saying here: They took a Shania Twain song… and made it worse. Bless the Gods who at least spared us an acoustic rendition of “Man… I Feel Like a Woman.” And the judges? Ate. It. Up. Even Simon, the usual voice of apathetic reason, was way more generous than ever. Do yourself a favor and watch the latest American SuicIdol video below to understand the surrealness of last night’s episode. This is hands down funnier and less painful than having to sit through the entire episode. Who do you think is flying tonight? Our guess: Aaron Kelly.

Sleigh Bells — the Brooklyn duo of Derek Miller, formerly of Florida hard-core band Poison the Well, and Alexis Krauss, who once sang in a teen-pop group called Rubyblue — just did it one better. The drums on the act’s new track “Tell 'Em” go so hard we have to assume they were sampled directly from futuristic U.S. military weapons training covertly recorded by the duo after they accidentally stumbled upon a top-secret army base while on tour in Arizona. “Tell 'Em” comes from Sleigh Bells' debut Treats, out May 11 via M.I.A.’s N.E.E.T. label.

Carl Levin's enthusiastic pummeling of Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein yesterday — which went on for at least three and a half hours — might have been driven by something more than a desire for justice for the populace, but related to an earlier incident that occurred on the Senate floor. Sayeth our new friend, Getty Images photographer Chip Somodevilla: "Blankfein, who's a very jovial guy, came in a little bit before the hearing, while Levin was talking, and the press just went bananas. The photographers were all going crazy. And Chairman Levin kind of paused, like to acknowledge that all of the attention had gone to Blankfein. He was kind of bothered, I think. I think it disturbed him that Blankfein was getting so much attention. These politicians, you know, they like to have the camera on them at all times."

Source: Daily Intel | 28 Apr 2010 | 4:25 pm Models IN; Celebrities OUT Gisele, Anja, and Daria. Except for Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana, all the major labels cast models for their fall 2010 campaigns. Here's a handy list of next season's major faces: • Yves St. Laurent: Daria Werbowy • Louis Vuitton: Christy Turlington, Karen Elson, and Natalia Vodianova (though these names are rumored, not confirmed) So ... why so many models? Why NOW? It is that age-old trend question of how designers decide the same things at the same time. How do they all decide on M.C. Hammer pants one season and M.C. Hammer sweatpants the next? Karl Lagerfeld always has an appreciably simple and honest answer for these things:
Yes, maybe designers are sick of celebrities getting too big for their britches with all these fashion lines they "design." But Gisele elegantly conceded she doesn't really design her flip-flops line herself. Maybe the worse problem is that celebrity fashion in its most quintessential form — red-carpet attire — has gotten so bad. But models, on the other hand, aren't usually remembered for formalwear that causes Vogue editors to compare them to gross diner food.

Source: The Cut | 28 Apr 2010 | 4:20 pm City Councilman Hopes to Team Up With Comptroller for Boycott of Arizona A protest in New York today. The state legislature isn't the only one looking to punish Arizona into submission over its new illegal-immigrant law. Tomorrow, Washington Heights and Inwood city councilman Ydanis Rodriguez — an immigrant himself, having come to the United States from the Dominican Republic when he was 18 — will introduce a resolution condemning the law. But for more concrete results, Rodriguez is reaching out to leaders throughout the city to organize a boycott of Arizona, according to aides, and is trying to get Comptroller John Liu onboard with an effort to make the boycott enforceable for city-connected businesses. The Taiwanese-born Liu, who has called Arizona's law "scapegoating," signs off on all contracts the city makes with vendors, and Rodriguez's chief of staff suggests that one way for a boycott to work would be for Liu to refuse to give Arizona-based businesses his stamp of approval. We're still awaiting word back from Liu's office. Although Mayor Bloomberg has come out adamantly against the Arizona law, a spokesman wouldn't comment on whether Bloomberg would back a boycott until an actual bill had been produced.

Source: Daily Intel | 28 Apr 2010 | 4:15 pm Magnum Condoms in Rap Lyrics, a Cheat Sheet There's a piece in today's Times examining the relationship between Magnum condoms and hip-hop. Like Cristal before it, an "unsolicited lift by hip-hop artists" (i.e., rappers name-checking Magnums in their lyrics) has boosted sales of the brand by 14 percent. Trojan, which owns Magnum, has decided to capitalize on all this free advertising by turning it into not-free advertising. The company has hired Ludacris as a spokesman for Magnum's first ever ad campaign, which will include print, online, and radio ads, as well as a contest soliciting the best Magnum-themed lyrics. But what are the best Magnum-themed lyrics that already exist? Here are the kind words some rappers have had for their rubbers of choice. We find it hard to believe any of them would win a contest sponsored by a major corporation. Rick Ross, "Hustlin'" remix: "Hit the Dodge lot I must've copped six Magnums/ Marriott suite, I must've used six magnums" The Notorious B.I.G, "I Love the Dough": "I'm poppin Magnums while Jigga bag somethin'" [Ed note: an astute commenter points out that this lyric most likely refers to magnums of champagne. It gets a little confusing when magnums can refer to condoms, alcohol or guns.] Beanie Sigel, "I'm In": "I'm Ruthless, but nothin like Eazy/ I keep a pocket full of Magnums, believe me" Obie Trice, "Shake That (remix)": "You know the name of the crew/You know the aim is to bang you/ In the mansion/ With a magnum" Flo Rida, "Priceless": "Two Magnums in my hand, one for creeps, one for freaks" Missy Elliott, "On & On": "You run for cover hide under your covers/ cause you gone need more protection than a Magnum rubber" Lloyd Banks, "Twist It": "From the club to the telly on a late night/ Box of Magnums sippin' hen, finna get right" Rick Ross, "The Boss": "Always wear plastic 'cause baby shit happens/ She leave the backseat just to freak in da magnum" Young Jeezy, "Stay Strapped": "Nigga all on my dick, where's the Magnum wrapper?" Kid Rock, "I'm a Dog": "See me ride across the country with my shotty ridin' shotgun/ Got slimmy's on my Jimmy with magnums rockin' platinum" Lil Wayne, "Where Da Cash At": "If it's one thing that I cant stand, it's a baggy Magnum" Mack 10, on Eminem's 'Business (remix)": "The Trojan gotta be a Magnum for me to fit it" (Special thanks to these guys for knowing their condom lyrics.)

It's obviously meant to take on Politico, as the Times points out, and it certainly looks like that site at first glance. But with the exception of some blogger hires, the bulk of the coverage will come from the Post's previously existing (though recently beefed-up) staff. Is it a test to see whether people can enjoy a Politico-style news-delivery system without everything being so, well, Politico?

She's calling it Fern Mallis LLC, and today is her last day at IMG. Mallis has been Fashion Week's planner since the event began eighteen years ago, when she was executive director of the CFDA. She said the move had been a long time coming. “When we were planning the move to Lincoln Center, it felt like closure, like the end of the cycle," she told WWD. With IMG Fashion as her first client, Mallis won't abandon Fashion Week entirely. But with her stepping down from IMG as the veritable face of the event, Fashion Week moving to Lincoln Center, and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff signing on as Fashion Week director (a brand-new position), it sounds like we're in for a hugely different Fashion Week come September.
