Source: Entertainment - Google News | 7 May 2010 | 2:25 am Last Night on Late Night: Betty White Looks Forward to Being Manhandled It’s been a rough week in the news, what with vast oil spills, economic worries, and now this. Thankfully, Betty White was on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, seeking advice from the SNL veteran. He tells her not to worry, that things get crazy between sketches, what with people putting on wigs and taking your clothes off. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been manhandled,” White says to a giggling Fallon, “I’m looking forward to it.” On Jimmy Kimmel Live, 30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer slash Kenneth-the-Page reveals his deepest fear: Twittering. Then, lest we forget, some pretty bad stuff happened today, as NBC’s news anchor Brian Williams chronicles to David Letterman. “If I weren’t so close to this, I wouldn’t leave my house,” he says, quoting Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. Pretty sunny stuff. Then, Jon Stewart demonstrates the new containment dome via some Diet Coke, a Mentos, and a terra cotta pot on a fishing pole. And just when you thought all of late night was fear and Twitter, Jay Leno mercifully lightens the mood with a little Mother’s Day gifting humor. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

Wiig will adapt the book for the big screen and play the leading role of Nita, a “clown in crisis” who works under the name Sniffles the Clown. She’s hopelessly in love with a man who used her to finance his clown college tuition and she struggles to resist... the “potentially lucrative” clown fetishist prostitution trade. So another one of these indie clown fetishist movies, huh? [Deadline] Need for Speed: Deadline is reporting that Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. The Rock, is “eying a starring role” in Fast & Furious 5. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are on board as fugitives on the run in the film, and The Rock would play a character on the “right side of the law.” So if you're one of those people always griping about how this franchise just doesn't have enough testosterone, you should be pleased. [Deadline] Steel & Four For Keamy: Kevin Durand has been cast in the role of the villain in the upcoming alien flick I Am Number Four and is also in talks to join Hugh Jackman in Real Steel. It would seem Durand, best known for his role as Lost’s Keamy, could very well be finding himself on next year’s iteration of the villains flow chart. [Variety] Christopher Goes Horror: The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli will play the leading role in Richard Ledes’ horror film Foreclosure, which takes place in a bleak neighborhood and unravels amidst the “real-life context of the mortgage crisis where so many homes are bank-owned.” Sounds like some fun escapist fare! [HR] Antony and the Surprisingly Long Book: Antony and the Johnsons will be following up 2009's The Crying Light with new album Swanlights, due October 6 in the U.S. A special edition of the album accompanied by a 144-page (!) book - featuring paintings, collages, photography and writing - will also be available, for those of you Antony completists. [Pitchfork] Raving: Lifetime has given the green light to Bond of Silence, an original movie which will star Kim Raver (Lipstick Jungle, Grey’s Anatomy). Inspired by a true story (of course), Silence will follow a widow who looks into the death of her husband who was”mysteriously” murdered while trying to stop a "wild" teenage New Year’s Eve house party. Teens everywhere will undoubtedly be surreptitiously deleting this from their parents' DVRs before they get a chance to watch it.

The Senate voted against breaking up the major Wall Street banks tonight - by a 61-33 vote. The amendment, touted as a way to end the notion of "Too Big To Fail," would have required the six largest banks to be scaled down in size and capped so that their individual failures wouldn’t bring down the entire system. No bank would have been able to have more than 10 percent of the total amount of insured deposits - and there would have been “a limit placed on liabilities of a single bank to two percent of GDP.” Three Republicans - Alabama's Richard Shelby, Oklahoma's Tom Coburn and Nevada's John Ensign - voted with 30 Democrats in support of the provision. "This is certainly a defeat for those who are concerned about the dangers of financial concentration in this country," Delaware Democratic Sen. Ted Kaufman, one of the co-sponsors of the bill, said after the vote. "Some causes are worth fighting for, and for me, the concern about the risks 'too big to fail' banks pose to the American economy and people is deep and profound given the economic tragedy millions of American have endured."

Source: Vulture | 6 May 2010 | 9:35 pm While Top Actresses Battle for Tattoo Role, Pitt Offered Male Lead Seemingly every prominent young actress is aiming for the coveted leading role in Sony’s upcoming The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, directed by David Fincher. The film, planned as the first of a three-movie franchise and based on Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s books, has Hollywood’s most buzzed about begging for the part of Lisbeth Salander: Carey Mulligan took the film’s screenwriter Steve Zallian out to lunch, and Ellen Page wrote a “heartfelt note” to producer Scott Rudin. Additionally, Kristen Stewart, Mia Wasikowska, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Olivia Thirlby, and Scarlett Johansson are all reportedly “circling” the part. However, they all may be out of luck, as Fincher is considering going with an unknown actress for the role, Deadline says, and Sony thinks the material is strong enough that it “doesn’t need” a big-name actress. However, perplexingly, apparently the studio doesn't think the material precludes the need for a big-name male lead - Sony has offered that part to Brad Pitt.

News: Entertainment News | 6 May 2010 | 8:25 pm Shahzad Says He Was "Inspired" By Militant Cleric Faisal Shahzad has said that he “drew inspiration” from Anwar al-Awlaki, a 39-year-old Yemeni-American cleric who the Times calls “perhaps the most prominent English-speaking advocate of violent jihad against the United States.” Awlaki, who is currently in hiding in Yemen, was placed on the CIA’s hit list earlier this year, the first American citizen whose killing the Obama administration has authorized. Awlaki has posted a number of English-language lectures and writings online which have come up in terrorism investigations in the U.S., Britain and Canada - and, in two cases, he was said to have spoken directly with the individual accused of attacking. “[Shahzad] listened to [Awlaki], and he did it,” an American official close to the investigation said of the Times Square car bomb attempt, according to the Times. It is unclear at this point if Shahzad ever met with or communicated directly with Awlaki, or if the "inspiration" came from the online materials alone. Times Sq.

Source: Vulture | 6 May 2010 | 7:54 pm Joe Bruno Receives Two-Year Prison Sentence Former Republican Senate majority leader Joe Bruno - once a New York political powerhouse - was sentenced to two years in prison today on two federal fraud counts. Bruno, 81, was convicted on December 7 for using his legislative office to help a businessman, who paid him both as a consultant and in a race horse partnership. Considering prosecutors had been looking for Bruno to be locked up for eight years, this news isn’t as bad as it could have been for the 13-year state senator. Additionally, Bruno will remain free until the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the law used to convict him - meaning there is a chance that the case could end up in no jail time for Bruno. Perhaps this possibility is what led him to say “It’ll be all right, it'll be fine," after the sentencing.

All 16 episodes of Moonlight, starring The Back-Up Plan’s Alex O’Loughlin (soon to be of Hawaii Five-O), will be re-broadcast this summer after reruns of The Vampire Diaries. But if The CW is looking for vampire dramas to sate their vampire besotted audience, we think they picked the wrong show. No, we're not pushing for Blade: The Series (even though it starred Sticky Fingaz!), but Fox's Kindred:The Embraced, which was canceled in 1996, after only eight episodes.

Source: Daily Intel | 6 May 2010 | 4:15 pm Loyal Followers Turn on Sarah Palin Over Endorsement It's usually difficult to find a more Palin-friendly place than the comment threads for Sarah Palin's own Facebook notes (standard message: "Go get 'em Sarah!"), but today, Palin's Facebook page is full of dismay, disenchantment, and even some disgust. It's all because Palin endorsed former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly "Demon Sheep" Fiorina over the more conservative Chuck DeVore in California's Republican Senate primary. For Palin's followers this unconscionable lapse in judgment was not an isolated incident — her previous endorsement of John McCain was not widely appreciated by the anti-establishment Tea Party crowd. But that was at least understandable, McCain having saved Palin from a soul-crushing life of low-paying gubernatorial drudgery. This endorsement, however, will not stand. Just take a look at some of these sample comments (FYI: "RINO" stands for "Republican in Name Only." It is an insult applied to moderates.):

Hey, Andy Samberg, tell us how rehearsals for this weekend's Betty White–hosted SNL are going! "Smashingly. She’s phenomenal." We pushed for more: Even though she won't take her clothes off? "I want to point out that we never ask anyone to do nudity. I feel like everyone’s made a big deal about that. The show’s been on for 35, now 36 years — it’s not a pornographic show. It’s a late-night comedy. It’s not Screw magazine." And what of Time listing Rue McClanahan as one of the least influential people of 2010 because Betty White has usurped all the attention? Here, Samberg's pal Seth Meyers had to step in. "I recommend Time go get some Golden Girls DVDs and watch Rue McClanahan take it to school."

Source: Vulture | 6 May 2010 | 4:00 pm On the Road Finally Gets on the Road The long-gestating adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, which has been in the works since at least 1980, when Francis Ford Coppola bought the film rights, is finally, officially happening. The Motorcycle Diaries' Walter Salles will direct, with Garrett Hedlund, soon to be of Tron, playing Neal Cassady stand-in Dean Moriarty, Control’s Sam Riley playing Sal Paradise, the Kerouac part, and Kristen Stewart playing Mary Lou, Moriarty’s on-again-off-again wife (something she actually cares about for a change). What are the chances the film will include the scene where these three people get naked in a car?

Source: The Cut | 6 May 2010 | 3:40 pm Tommy Tune Selling Penthouse Loft The Web listing for the 1,300-square-foot apartment on Park Avenue South touts the place as a “CELEBRITY PENTHOUSE LOFT FOR SALE.” And that it is: The owner is Tony Award–winning actor-dancer-singer-choreographer Tommy Tune. The space is certainly theatrical, with high ceilings, a sleek, double-sided fireplace, Moroccan frette work, and azure floors, which Tune, who just decamped to an East Fifties apartment he bought in 2007 for $1.29 million, says he already misses. Plus, he said, “the bathroom is a work of art. I will never have a bathroom like that again.” So why did he move? His dog, christened Little Shubert (after the theater), needs an easily accessible outdoor space. The Park Avenue South apartment has a roof deck, but it’s only reachable via a spiral staircase. The apartment’s on the market for $2.35 million with brokers Sheryl Siegel and Cynthia Cincotti at Prudential Douglas Elliman. As for Tune, he’s hard at work on a show celebrating his 50th anniversary in show business. “Hopefully, it will come to New York soon,” he says. 222 Park Avenue South [Prudential Douglas Elliman] Read more posts by S.

Source: The Cut | 6 May 2010 | 3:00 pm YOU GUYS, FOR REAL: Is Justin Bieber a Nazi?True story: Sometime last fall, I was set to make an appearance on It’s On with Alexa Chung. And as I was walking from the dressing room to the set, I passed a small ventriloquist’s dummy propped up on a chair, dressed in a tiny, custom-made suit, and surrounded by a gaggle of primpers. I thought “Hmm, maybe they brought Paul Winchell back from the dead.” (Famous ventriloquist). Then I went about my business. Well, folks, that little wooden man was actually mega-childlebrity Justin Bieber. And while I didn’t know much about him back then, today I know all too much about him. And the more I learn, the more I start to wonder: Is Justin Bieber a Nazi? Allow us to present our case to you here: Point #1: He greets his fans with a “Heil, How Are You?”
Point #2: He plays stupid when it comes to the word “German,” as only a paranoid Nazi could:Point #3: His Twitter Defense speaks for Jewself:
Let us consult with our favorite Jewman to see what he thinks about this mix-up:
Jewman’s face says all. We’re just happy they didn’t ask Bieber if he enjoys “Flying Kites.” Point #4: Die Dame denn Protest zu viel(The lady doth protest too much)… he speaks German. OK, he can count in German. Here are 10 more reasons he might be a Nazi: Fair enough, this point doesn’t hold that much water, mainly because our favorite MTV VJs ever, Joko ist Klaas, also speak German and we’re 99.9 percent sure they aren’t Nazis. Moving along. IN CONCLUSION: Do we need an in conclusion??? It seems preettttty obbbbbbbvious* that this kid is a Nazi. What do you guys think? Beliebers, are you with me?? (*Or is it?)

Now we know the economy is looking up: The Met Gala on Monday night raised $9 million, which is the most the Gala's ever raised, and almost twice as much as the $5.4 million raised last year. It's funny, because though last year's decorations for the model-themed ball were extravagant, and even included a zebra carpet, this year's ball wasn't supposed to look as excessive, though deep down inside it was all along. The results seem incongruous with having Gap as a sponsor. Maybe no one would have cared if Vogue had aligned with an American label that made expensive clothes.

But this week Talley kindly gave Nigel room to speak and reclaim the spotlight he once enjoyed. "I think it’s pretty," he says of one photo. "I don’t think it’s horrible. Um, but it takes a lot for me to be at a loss for words. Help me, Nigel." And then Nigel jumps in, graciously reciting a critique you know he'd been thinking of for at least two days. But Nigel will never have dreckitude. When Talley doesn't know what to say, he should just say that over and over again or start talking like an opera singer, which is what Tyra does to make her analyses (and self) seem deeper.

Source: Best Week Ever | 6 May 2010 | 12:05 pm American Apparel Defends Against Allegations That It Hires Real Models One of the biggest things that helped American Apparel levitate its image from just hipster to sexy hipster is its non-model policy. The company has proclaimed for years in publications around the world that it does not hire models for its ads, but rather hires normal people or American Apparel employees to strip down and contort themselves into awkward positions for the sake of selling awkward clothing. Heightening their image of realness, they don't use professional makeup artists, stylists (though there's often not a whole lot to style), or airbrushing. However, Jezebel reports that "some of [the women in American Apparel ads] are definitely models. Professional models. Represented by agencies." Jezebel cites Zanita Whittington, a five-foot-eleven-inch professional Australian model who was recently confirmed for an American Apparel gig. American Apparel has not taken too kindly to Jezebel's accusations of their "lies," and sent us a statement from their creative director, Iris Alonzo:
Even if American Apparel's ads were lies and they did use real models like most fashion companies, what in fashion isn't a lie? Fashion is a business of lying. Getting dressed could be called a lie too. Spanx away a bulge, conceal a blemish, shave away the pit hair, wear contacts instead of glasses. Kelly Cutrone once said, in one of her wisest moments, "We’re all hookers." Maybe all of us with clothes, shaving cream, and a makeup bag are liars, too!
