Source: Entertainment - Google News | 14 May 2010 | 12:02 am Industry Roundup: Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams Both To Play Marilyn Monroe Blonde Bombshells: Strangely, just a few weeks after two Jackie Kennedy projects were announced, there are now two Marilyn Monroe films in the works. Naomi Watts will be playing Monroe in an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' novel Blonde, which will be directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford). Meanwhile, the Weinstein Company is moving ahead with its own Monroe project, My Week With Marilyn, starring Michelle Williams. Week will focus on the time Monroe spent in England filming The Prince and the Showgirl opposite Laurence Olivier (a part that has not yet been cast). Not everyone wants to play the legend, though: Scarlett Johansson reportedly turned down the part Williams ending up taking. [Deadline] Salmon Season: Lionsgate is partnering with BBC Films and Kudos Pictures to produce Salmon Fishing, which is based on the best-selling novel by Paul Torday. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the film will star Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott-Thomas. Hallstrom took over for Bill Condon, who was originally signed on to direct; apparently, Condon prefers wolves to fish. [Deadline] Main Event: Sam Worthington will star in Quatermain, a sci-fi flick based on the series of books by H. Rider Haggard featuring the hero Allan Quatermain. The film will focus on his return to Earth (which is devoid of humans) from a “sojourn in space,” at which point he will embark on an “adventure on a planetwide scale.” Presumably it'll be a lot easier dealing with this interspecies stuff when he isn't confined to a wheelchair. [Heat Vision/HR] McEdgy: Rob Minkoff will direct Patrick Dempsey in the indie action-comedy Flypaper. Written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (The Hangover), the film is about a bank that is robbed by two different sets of thieves at the same time. However, both groups are attacked by a “secret enemy” (Dempsey) who is attempting to save the bank teller whom he loves. With this and his Transformers role, Dempsey clearly wants us to know he's made of more than McDreamy. [Variety] Special K: Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) will star in Special Forces, in which she will play a French journalist kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The film, directed by Stephane Rybojad, will also feature Djimon Hounsou, Denis Menochet, Benoit Magimel and Raphael Personnaz. Sounds like real escapist fare, this. [Variety] Zanuck's Assault: Lili Fini Zanuck (Rush) is directing an adaptation of John O’Brien’s 1996 novel Assault on Tony’s. The book centers on five white patrons who are barricaded in a bar named Tony’s for 17 days during a race riot. In the movie though, writer Erik Bergquist (The Fast and the Furious) has contemporized the story, reducing the 17 days to three, making the riots about the economy instead of race, and changing the five white guys to three white guys and two black guys. Oh, and the characters won't speak; they'll just tweet at each other. [HR] Under The Sea: Pan Europeenne is developing a $37 million 3D biopic on the French oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Laurent Turner (The Inner Circle) is adapting the script from Capitaine de la Calypso, a Cousteau biography. If you are already dozing off at the thought of yet another biopic, don’t fret: “It will be a true biopic but also an adventure film featuring many underwater scenes.” Whoa now!

The Times said it received permission Tuesday to attend a constitutional law class at Hunter College High School (Kagan’s alma mater) taught by her brother, Irving. The school was fine with the idea, as was Kagan, but the White House vetoed the plan, according to the Times, claiming via a spokesman that the administration was “uncomfortable with the idea at this time.” Additionally, after speaking with the paper in a profile that ran Monday, Kagan’s cousin Gail Katz-James refused to speak to Times Wednesday. “I’m sorry,” she said to a reporter, “I’m not able to talk to you.” When asked if the White House had instructed her to refuse interviews, she said "Nope" and promptly hung up the phone. Ironically, while the White House presumably is hoping to ensure no one says anything that might jeopardize Kagan’s confirmation, it really just makes it seem like there’s some totally weird family secret they desperately don’t want getting out.

Murphy writes that Setoodeh has taken him up on his offer to visit Glee’s set and “observe [their] creative process” in order to see how they “construct a TV show dedicated exclusively to the idea of inclusiveness and acceptance for all.” In addition to visiting the show’s writers’ room, Murphy writes that Setoodeh will be invited to watch how they cast the show as well, a process in which “actors … are encouraged to read for ALL roles, no matter what their sexual orientation, color, or gender.” Murphy writes that while Newsweek did contact him to “say they are big fans of [Glee],” he does not believe the magazine has offered a “substantial articulate response” for the article, titled “Straight Jacket,” in which Setoodeh discussed gay actors playing straight, specifically calling out Promises, Promises' Sean Hayes and Glee's Jonathan Groff, both openly gay, for what he argued were unconvincing portrayals of straight characters.

Source: Vulture | 13 May 2010 | 4:59 pm Blockbuster Auction Evidence of Art-Theater Synergy? Red, the play. Sotheby's contemporary art auction yesterday raked in almost $190 million, dominated by a 1986 Warhol self portrait ($32.6 million) and a 1961 untitled Rothko canvas, originally estimated between $18 and $25 million. The work — one of the five bright, red-only paintings that Rothko did in the space of a year and half during which he subtracted his usual plums, burgundies, and blacks — ended up luring in an undisclosed buyer willing to cough up $31.4 million for its rouge-y presence. Apparently everyone who saw the work in Sotheby's galleries was in awe of it, but there could be another force at work: John Logan's critically acclaimed play Red, which tells the story of the pompous, legendary Abstract Expressionist and has been enjoying a successful run on Broadway since April 1. Crafty planning? Coincidence? "People ask if I timed it," said Tobias Meyer, the head of Sotheby's contemporary art department who also oversaw the auction. "I wish I was that intelligent, but I'm not. I do think red is the color that Rothko is most known for, and I think the play was in the back of my mind, and the play is called Red, which underlines it — and enforces that we have a good painting on our hands." Let's see if the Damien Hirst musical, Crap, can similarly underline the truth when his next auction rolls around.

News: Entertainment Reviews | 13 May 2010 | 3:16 pm Elena Kagan Already Talking Smack About Current Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan was nominated to the Supreme Court in part, President Obama tells us, because he hopes that she can use her intellectual and persuasive powers to become a "consensus-builder." But if Kagan is hoping to win friends on the court, Arlen Specter isn't helping her cause by blabbing about their closed-door conversations to the press today.
Reuters adds that Specter specified that it wasn't Chief Justice John Roberts. So who was it? Samuel Alito? Sonia Sotomayor? Someone older? Practically everyone is a suspect, since Supreme Court nominees have been trained to be "not very forthcoming" if they want to be confirmed. Regardless, Kagan had already put herself on the spot for previously criticizing the lack of substantive testimony in Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Now that she's still hammering away at it and even pointing fingers at sitting justices, she'd better be ready to sing.

The Houlihan cargos are so fantastic that Cathy Horyn devoted an entire article to them in the Times. “In 33 years I’ve never shipped anything like this,” Jeff Rudes, the founder and chief executive of J Brand, said this week, noting that some customers have offered to prepay for the $230 style. Bloomingdale’s has sold thousands, according to Mr. Doroff, who wants more. Barneys New York has 1,000 pairs of Houlihans on reorder, with waiting lists at its stores. The Intermix chain said it has sold 2,000 pairs.

Source: Best Week Ever | 13 May 2010 | 2:09 pm GMHC Co-Founder Larry Kramer Pivots Again on Charity’s Move Out of Chelsea The charity's current building. Gay activist and estranged Gay Men's Health Crisis co-founder Larry Kramer is once again railing against the possibility that the nearly 30-year-old AIDS charity might be moving to a building where some of its services may not be able to follow it. We reported back in April that the move — from the 24th Street Tisch Building, where the charity has lived since 1997, to the AP Building on 33rd Street and 10th Avenue — was potentially imminent because of an enormous rent hike and new facility-maintenance fees. But at the time, GMHC leaders had convinced a skeptical Kramer that the move was a good thing. "It is time to move on to a new home," Kramer he said in an e-mail to journalists at the time. "Stop complaining, you naysayers!" Now, though, he's changed his mind again, upon hearing that the hot lunches and medical services — beloved and much-needed traditions at the Tisch Building — won't be following the organization as it moves west to the new office building. "It's just too bad because of a board's stupidity and an executive director's incompetence they're going to lose all that," he told the Journal. ("We will have increased numbers of treatment rooms, of counseling rooms," GMHC director Marjorie Hill told the Journal. "I want the money to go to programs. I don't want to give this money to a landlord.") In an e-mail to members of the media, Kramer added: "Electing to go ahead into this truly idiotic move is one of the great mysteries of the present moment."

The 6th grader, who you, your Mom, her Mom, your Ghost Great Grandmom have all seen singing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at his school’s talent show achieved viral video paydirt today when he appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Ellen had plenty of surprises in store. But first, Greyson, equipped with the Bieber hair, a NYC head flip, and his Grandmother’s recipe for humble pie, made the post-menopausal ladies of Ellen’s audience swoon with delight as he recreated his original “Paparazzi” performance: Pretty good, kid. Pretty damn good. Anyone who has seen Farinelli already knows what I think his parents should do to retain that beautiful voice, but alas, none of you have seen it. Ellen had another surprise in store for young Greyson… a call from Lady Gaga herself. It’s pretty special, and Gaga gives him some practical advice, such as staying away from girls. Too late, as his schedule currently has him losing his virginity 438 times in the month of June. Video ahead.

First thing’s first: This is a shirt I would totally wear because I’m a stupid person who wears shirts like this. Sue me.
HOWEVER, Japan, I would like to counter with this:
It’s a rice bra. Reports Metro UK:
Gardening gloves not sold separately! So is there a growing popularity of farming amongst Japanese city dwellers or a growing popularity of farming based bras amongst Japanese city dwellers? Because if this rice bra takes off, I can think of so many other things one could plant in those bras! You know, veggies, fruits, other seed based foods. Point being, Japan, you can get over a shirt on your PM that I would wear. I would never be your PM, nor would you want me to be, but do you see what I mean?

Obvs.Every time a Twilight film comes out, my friends Pat and Adrienne and I go to Queens on opening night to watch it with the kidz. The first time it was hilarious. Team Jacob and Team Edward shirts, boys who don’t know they’re gay yet with their girl best friends who don’t know the boys are gay either. It’ll all blow up soon enough, but for that one night, all lust was directed towards Edward and Jacob, and it was awesome. When New Moon came out we were excited to do the same thing. However, this time all novelty had worn off and we were in a hot, sweaty theater watching a terrible movie with teenagers on a Friday night. The worst. And we’ll do it again for Eclipse.

I will now share with you these three very important words: “Whaaaat? Meeee? Thenkx.” Yes, our “What? Me? Thanks.” theory has gotten us really far. (Not far.) But you know who it has gotten far? Ke$ha. Who has “What? Me? Thenx”‘d her way to the top of the pop charts. And no song demonstrates her genius freestyle baby slut rap better than “Your Love Is My Drug,” the anthem for infant baby whores worldwide. Our verdict? What? Me? We love it. Thanks. (Ed.
