The book’s author Stephen Chbosky will be directing from his own script. The film would mark Watson's first non-Harry Potter feature film role; what this movie will lack in magic, Emma, will be made up for in excessively emo songs. [Variety] America Gets Spitzer: Magnolia Pictures has acquired the U.S. rights to Alex Gibney’s much-discussed untitled Eliot Spitzer documentary, which was unveiled at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. Ya think Ashley Dupre is regretting her decision to "participate" in the documentary yet? [Variety] Here's To You...: Phil Alden Robinson, who wrote and directed Field of Dreams, will write the script for J.J. Abrams’ untitled heist project for Paramount. The film is based on a Wired Magazine article by Joshua Davis called “The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist,” which described the true story of a crew that pulled off a large-scale diamond heist of around $100 million in stolen goods in Antwerp, Belgium. We're going to call this "Ocean's Eleven meets Confusing Sci-Fi Movie That We Pretend To Understand." [Heat Vision/HR] Let Him Love You: Mario will be releasing his fifth album this summer, following last year’s D.N.A. The R&B singer told MTV that the album will likely feature a guest appearance from Chris Brown, as the duo will be recording something “for the ladies.” Yeahhh, not sure how that one's gonna go over, Mario. [MTV] Not 'Over' Yet: Drake has added several dates to his "Away From Home" tour, which was originally scheduled to wrap up in May. Now the tour will last through July and include additional dates in the U.S., as well as several in Europe and Canada. Perhaps this will give him an edge up in the heated Song of the Summer race. [MTV] Cosmic Ray: British author Frank Cottrell Boyce’s children’s book Cosmic will be adapted for the big screen by Boyce himself. The comedy is described as “Apollo 13 meets Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” in which a tall boy is continually mistaken for an adult - one day he sneaks onto an "experimental spaceship ride" and when things go wrong, he needs to save the crew. We're hoping the Charlie element comes in when we find out the crew consists exclusively of Oompa-Loompas. [HR] Shooting The Moon: MTV has reportedly ordered Teen Wolf to series for 12 episodes. Based on the 1985 Michael J. Fox movie, the series will center on Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), a dorky kid who receives "powers," which include "the ability to attract girls," after a "wolf attack"... or, in other words, the life story of Taylor Lautner. [Deadline] Big Role: Jessica Lange will star in a film version of The Big Valley, based on the 1960s Western TV series that starred Barbara Stanwyck. Lange will be playing the matriarch of the 1870s ranching family, which is kind of weird because that's the role Susan Sarandon was supposed to be playing!

The Pakistani government has imposed the Facebook ban until the end of the month, and protesters have already begun gathering in Karachi holding banners and shouting anti-Facebook slogans. The “competition” was started by a Facebook user who set up a page called “Draw Muhammad Day” and invited people to submit their depictions.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 19 May 2010 | 8:05 pm Pacino Studies For Upcoming Shylock Role in Borough Park Al Pacino, who will be playing the role of Shylock in this summer's Public Theater production of The Merchant of Venice, conducted research for the part in Brooklyn this week, visiting a Hasidic synagogue and meeting with a community member at a Borough Park kosher restaurant. Apparently Pacino, who was accompanied by the Public’s Shakespeare Initiative director Barry Edelstein, took the immersion quite seriously: "As worshipers swayed in prayer, known as shuckling, Edelstein said he saw Pacino slowly rock back and forth with them, observing their movements." The actor, who was clad in a dark suit and hat, stood at the back of the synagogue during the services and went unrecognized; afterwards, the two men shared a coffee and cheesecake with a member of the Hasidic community at a local diner. Edelstein said no one they encountered offered any objections to the fact Pacino will be appearing in a play divisive in its perceived anti-Semitism: "[The observation] was done with complete respect and a true sense of empathy,” he said.

Goldman earned $28.8 million in fees from the MTA from 2000 to 2008, most of which reportedly came from commissions for issuing bonds.

First, the show featured the Britain's Got Talent star's signature jam (“I Dreamed A Dream”) last night (sung by Broadway belters Lea Michele and Idina Menzel, no less) and now comes word the series is courting Boyle herself to appear on the show. The role Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy has in mind for her may sound familiar though: “I have two words for you: Lunch.

I don’t even know if she’s interested but it’s been pitched.” Well, Boyle would definitely bring a different vibe to the role from the previous big-name celeb Murphy was considering for the (apparently pivotal?) lunch lady role: J.

Source: Daily Intel | 19 May 2010 | 6:24 pm Reviewing the CBS Upfront Presentation: It's Good to Be Popular At all the upfronts thus far, the music playing while the audience mills around and finds a seat has been a slightly hip soundtrack of bands like Passion Pit and Phoenix. Not at CBS, which has little interest in being hip, but much interest in being successful. Pumping Miley, Ke$ha, and Gaga over the loudspeakers at Carnegie Hall, CBS let it be known before the show even began that it knows what it is: not all that cool, smart, or edgy, but really, really popular. Buoyed by this implacable sense of self, CBS put on a polished, convincing presentation. It will stick with the spin-offs, remakes, and laugh tracks, and leave critically acclaimed shows with terrible ratings to the losers. Setting the hip-to-be-square tone, the presentation started at exactly 4:00, with a cutesy version of The Big Bang Theory theme song, tweaked to shout out all of CBS’s success and programming. Then, out came president and CEO Leslie Moonves, to big cheers and claps, looking like the cat who ate the canary. “The better CBS is doing, the better you all look to me,” Moonves told the crowd. “Ladies and Gentlemen, what a handsome group you look today.” The rest of Moonves’s extremely confident speech celebrated how the market, everywhere, in every industry, is turning around. “Everyone’s Bullish,” he said. CBS is "red hot." In the midst of his speech about how awesome everything is for CBS, Moonves introduced a video that solidified (1) this was going to be a really good show for the Eye and (2) that ‘Shit’ would be the most popular word at this particular upfront. The video was one that shouldn’t have worked: Earlier this year CBS’s chief research officer, David Poltrack, got into an argument about “downer reports” that over-stated the weakness of TV advertising. The exchange had been caught on audio tape. CBS remixed it into a... hip-hop song, with the recurring chorus “Bullshit Number,” and cut video to go with it, showing an animated Poltrack with a boom-box. Somehow, this was all more weirdly funny and charming than it could possibly sound. Helping that might be the fact that everyone in the world is going to grade a CBS hip-hop joke on a curve. Moonves followed this with more boosterism, and then dropped a stat that will hopefully be fact-checked by tomorrow morning: More Americans have watched NCIS this season than have seen Avatar. The crowd said, "huh?" After another montage, CBS’s sales president Jo Ann Ross came out for an awesomely short little spiel that mostly revealed the TelePrompTer was embedded in the floor. Then she read from a note card, “If you’re able to comprehend even a tiny portion of what this next speaker has to say, your life will be vastly improved.” And out came The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons, in character as Sheldon. Parsons delivered a largely incomprehensible, and mostly charming speech that shouted out Cartesian planes and differential calculus, while flattering advertisers. “I’m Dr. Sheldon Cooper. You may be asking yourself what is one the greatest mind of the twentieth century doing talking to a room of advertisers,” he riffed, before explaining that he had decided advertisers were important. When he can travel in time, he will go back to the 1969 NBC upfront to make sure they don’t help cancel the original Star Trek. Parsons then introduced CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler, who was rocking a bright pinkish-red, satin suit. She re-iterated how dope CBS is before demonstrating the awkward way in which the network had chosen to celebrate its talent: instead of the on stage parade favored by Fox, CBS opted to have actors stand in their seat and wave to the crowd from the crowd. The first person to receive this special honor was Chuck Lorre, the mastermind of Two and Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, and the new series Mike & Molly. The trailer for this show was another example of CBS being comfortable with itself: it doesn’t look particularly funny, interesting, or even of this decade, but the audience laughed and laughed. Who cares if it’s cool? It’s gonna make CBS some money. Tassler then introduced, a video of $#*! My Dad Says’s William Shatner. Campy as ever, Shatner told the audience, with the curses bleeped out, “It began on twitter. It was funny shit. So CBS decided to make into a TV show. I think I’m pretty fucking funny, but what the fuck do I know.” The trailer was not as good as this little speech. Sample dialogue: “My vagina’s broken dad.” “Cheese and crackers, that came at me fast.” Cheese and crackers, indeed. Tag line: “This fall the Shat hits the fan.” This show didn't sit with the audience as well as Mike & Molly, but CBS saved it by bringing out Shatner, and bringing out Parsons again, to geek out about meeting Captain Kirk. The bit killed. Then the other Big Bang cast members waved awkwardly to the crowd, followed by the How I Met Your Mother gang, followed by a tear-jerking clip reel about Undercover Boss. All eight undercover bosses came out on stage, showcasing, as some astute tweets noted, that 1) Undercover Boss should really try to use some non-white, non-middle aged, non-male bosses next season and 2) these guys got to come on stage, but Neil Patrick Harris had to stay in his seat. After that both NCISs waved to the crowd, Julianna Margulies taught everyone how to pronounce Matt Czuchry’s name (Zoo-kree), and we finally got to see clips from the new dramas. First up, The Defenders starting Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell as cheeseball Vegas lawyers who ride around in Nash Bridges’ convertible. Belushi can not say the word “trajectory” properly, but this is a sign of his good character. The audience clapped, sort of, but then Belushi and O’Connell stood up in the crowd, and the claps picked up because it’s rude to be rude to someone’s face. O’Connell, anyway, seemed very psyched about the show. Next up, Blue Bloods, a red-state cop show about a clan of New York City police, starring Tom Selleck, who has finally had a mustache long enough to be back in style, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget “Wronged by Giselle” Moynahan, and Will Estes. The family’s last name is Reagan and has dinner conversation about the morality of “enhanced interrogation techniques:” the chick and the kid who has seen nothing yet are anti-torture, the police chief and the son who cares about doing whatever it takes to save small children are for it. Looks like a good fit for CBS. Last but not least was the clip for Hawaii Five-O, about which Tassler said, “it isn’t a remake, but a reboot,” that stars a “ridiculously sexy and talented cast... He’ll love it too, but this is so not your fathers Hawaii 5-0.” The promo, with a not-compellingly remixed theme song, looks like mindless fun, all guns, fistfights, quips and beaches. Seemed to go over. Then Tassler came back out for one last pitch, explaining that CBS does not expect any of its new shows to be “self-starters,” putting a “bonafide hit” before each one. She went over the schedule again, convincingly selling its solidity.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 19 May 2010 | 4:11 pm Fashion Magazines Are Tiring of Major Celebrity Covers Glamour has three models — Alessandra Ambrosio, Brooklyn Decker, and Crystal Renn — on the cover of its June issue. Meanwhile, Vanity Fair has two foreign soccer players with names most Americans don't know on the cover of its June issue. Where are the actresses promoting movies or pop stars promoting albums? Editors are getting tired of them for two reasons, according to the Daily Beast. One, Hollywood doesn't produce megafamous actresses, like Angelina Jolie, anymore. Second, of the biggest major actresses still out there, there's nothing new to know about them. Or as Samir Husni, the magazine industry pundit, put it, “What else do you really want to know about Angelina Jolie? With a lot of these celebrities, there’s nothing left to show unless they actually take their clothes off. We’ve covered them from every shape, every corner. We’ve shown them with their kids, and with their boyfriends and with their girlfriends, so that’s why you’re starting to see semi-naked soccer players and a semi-naked Tiger Woods. That’s what it takes to survive in a digital age.”
Glamour’s editor Cindi Leive agrees:, “I think what you’re seeing in the magazine world is a certain amount of fatigue with the same old, same old faces. One reason we had a nice sale with Taylor Swift was that you hadn’t seen her on a million magazine covers before and there was actually the hope that ‘Oh my God! I might actually learn something new.’ I think taking risks is serving people well right now.”
Robert Burke, a prominent consultant in the fashion business whose clients include Bulgari, Vera Wang, and Dunhill, notes, “There was a time not too long ago when celebrities were paid a lot of money to show up at a party and today people are really looking at the R.O.I and going, ‘Do we really need this person here?’ Paying people to appear at a fashion show is a bit passé.”

Source: The Cut | 19 May 2010 | 4:00 pm Richard Blumenthal Not a Deceptive Lying Scoundrel After All? Earlier this week, the Times posted a 2008 video showing Connecticut Attorney General and Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal saying that he "served in Vietnam," even though he was actually in the Marine Reserves and never left American soil. The revelation has badly damaged Blumenthal's previously front-running campaign. But a longer version of the video, obtained by the AP, shows that earlier in the same speech Blumenthal described himself, accurately, as "someone who served in the military during the Vietnam era in the Marine Corps." That doesn't make his other statement any more truthful, but it does make it more plausible that, as Blumenthal claims, he merely misspoke, and wasn't trying to intentionally deceive anyone in the audience, unless he decided halfway through the speech to start pretending he fought in the war. It also begs the question of why the Times didn't see fit to include this segment of the video in its reporting. Sure, there was still a pattern of other misstatements/lies/whatever, as a Times spokesperson points out, but shouldn't the paper have provided all the available context to the most damning one?

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 19 May 2010 | 3:52 pm GLEE-CAP: What Happens to a Dream Deferred?To begin this Glee-cap, a video: The Best Moments of Neil Patrick Harris on Glee: That last note is my new ringtone. When I first heard that the title of last night’s Joss Whedon helmed episode of Glee was “Dream On,” a small part of me prayed for an appearance by Brian Benben from the 1990 HBO-titled series of the same name. Sadly, Benben was nowhere to be found — and neither was Wendie Malick, for that matter. Leave it to primetime television savior Neil Patrick Harris to make us forget about our Benben woes and focus, instead, on one of the best episode of Glee from both seasons. “Dream On” delivered almost everything we’ve come to expect from Glee: Talent, heartache, longing (birth mothers, working legs, etc.), and simultaneous Matthew Morrison and Neil Patrick Harris orgasms. Add to that mix song cameos from Les Miserables and The Mamas and the Papas, and it looks like that note I tucked into the Wailing Wall last year is finally coming true. For starters, we got our hands on some of Mr. Schuester’s vacation photos:
Oh, JK, that Matthew Morrison’s T-1000 impression for an upcoming Vogue fashion spread. His fabdominals look like they’re becoming “self-avare.” Back to Glee! Neil Patrick Harris plays a character named Brian Ryan, Will Schuester’s high school glee nemesis. Today, he spends his time as a professional dream crusher on the school board. He visits New Directions and asks them to write their dreams down. Then, NPH whips out his 98 foot long d and proceeds to pee all over those dreams. He’s cutting their budget. It’s final. Did we say “final”? We meant, it’s “Let Me Take You Out For Some Beers and Change Your Mind with Some Billy Joel-inal.”
Schue changes his mind, and encourages Bryan Ryan to audition alongside him for an upcoming local production of Les Miserables. It is at this point that myself, the creators of South Park, and Colm Wilkinson got SUPER F**KING JAZZED. Glee + Les Miserables = Les Jizzerables. Sadly, Neil did not gently cradle Matthew Morrison in the most self-touching edition of “A Little Fall of Rain.” Why? Because the song is not called “A Little Dream of Rain” or “A Little Fall of Dream” or “Dream Little Dream Dream Rain.” And remember, this is Glee, where every song must have the show’s theme taken into consideration. So, they dueted a moving-down-there rendition of Aerosmith’s “Dream On.” (video ahead!) Why they left out Bryan Ryan’s anger sex scene with Sue Sylvester is almost unforgivable. Meanwhile, on the same side of town… Let’s talk about dreams some more, OK? Like how about Artie, as an example. Kid’s in a wheelchair but he wants to be a dancer. Tough luck kid, you are saying now. Polio crutches and all.
But wait a second… you know what? No. You’re a dream crusher (sung to the “Wheel Watcher” theme.) Because here in the land of make believe and former boy banders on rolly seats, we’ve got a little thing called THE DREAM SEQUENCE. Artie has got some moves. Can you imagine how different his life would be if he could walk? It would be… …exactly like when Kevin McHale, the actor who plays Artie, was in a f**king boy band. True story: I called my BFF up after the show and said, “It’s so sad… he’s such a good dancer but he’s in that chair.” I was reassured that the actor playing Artie can still very much dance in real life. Me get confused sometimes. End of story: Artie will probably never be able to dance, thanks to a reassuring speech from a woman who will also probably never be able to rid herself of cow eyes. (Emma Pillsbury) And finally, the third installment of last night’s melodrama. Rachel wants to find her birth Mom. Can you guess who it is? M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN ALERT: Well it just happens to be Rachel’s 20 years older identical twin who is also a singer on the show, Idina Menzel. The woman who also happens to coach the rival glee club, “Vocal Adrenaline.” This is the acting equivalent of Joey Lauren Adams looking for her birth mom and real life and finding out it’s Jewel. It is… hmm, what’s the term? Not a f**king surprise at all.
But how is Rachel’s dream going to be realized? Well, thanks to the help of her super hot, steam-faced boyfriend Jesse St. James, played by Broadway great Jonathan Groff. He slips her a tape of Idina Menzel singing a song to her long lost daughter. And now, we launch into a duet that caused many a saltduct to be sprung from America’s eyes… “I Dreamed a Dream.” I would have thought Susan Boyle’s rendition would have ruined it for me forever. And it still kind of did. But you know what took care of that? THE HOT SALTWATER LAVA RUNNING INTO MY MOUTH BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH AMEEEZEEENG. Then, we ended on The Mamas and The Papas, with a “Dream a Little Dream of Me” sequence that was under cut only by the slightly cheesy slow tap number happening right in front of Artie’s adorable little animal face and eyes. We pretty much overall loved the episode, even with the almost inexcusable lack of Sue Sylvester. “Dream On” finally fulfilled OUR dream of seeing Neil Patrick Harris do something mildly sexual with a one foot radius of Matthew Morrison.

Source: Daily Intel | 19 May 2010 | 3:00 pm Wal-Mart Knows Miley Cyrus’s Jewelry Is Toxic But Continues to Sell It The jewelry Miley Cyrus sells at Wal-Mart, including the line she does with Max Azria, contains toxic levels of cadmium, an Associated Press investigation found. Wal-Mart knew about the cadmium and continued to sell the stuff anyway. In fact, Wal-Mart received test results on the items as far back as February but hasn't pulled them from the sales floor. Instead, they issued a statement in April saying that as of that month they had decided to require suppliers to show that children's products did not contain unsafe levels of cadmium. Long-term exposure to cadmium can lead to bone softening and kidney failure. It is a known carcinogen that recent research suggests can, like lead, hinder brain development in the very young.
The importer of the DIY charms said they were intended for adults. A VP of the line's manufacturer told the AP: "We recognize that many of our adult customers are homemakers who may have children present in their home," he said. "Our intention as a company is to never willingly cause harm to a child."

Source: The Cut | 19 May 2010 | 1:20 pm LOST RECAP: What They Died For Better Not Be That Stupid LightThis is a Recap of Lost Season 6, Episode #16 entitled “What They Died For”, the second-to-last episode in Lost history, originally airing May 18th, 2010. Not much left to spoil at this point, the show’s almost over. Ana Lucia was in this episode. TWIST! I ate a KFC Twister when that happened.
This week in Sideways Towne, Jack looks in the mirror and realizes his old football neck is actin’ up again, but thinks nothing of it and sits down to breakfast with his son, Dude From Shine Jr. They share some SUPER BRAN cereal and Jack agrees to come to his son’s concert that evening, and when his son makes him promise not to be weird around his mom, he goes “Ohh…I promise…” and the camera zooms in on his face and he winks and “Wooly Bully” starts playing and it cuts to a montage of Jack doing embarrassing things at the concert (Too late to submit my Lost spec script?) Elsewhere, Desmond continues Aqualunging it up in the high school parking lot, and when Ben recognizes him as the man who ran down Locke, he reacts by immediately beating the crap out of Ben. Wouldn’t it be funny if the way Ben remembered the island was by having the crap beat out of him, cause that happened to him so oft–oh. The visions just happened. So that’s exactly what made Ben remember. That was easy! (Slogan for Lostples, the island office supply store).
After the jump, Ben gets Benny, Zoe gets dead, and Jack’s drinking problem gets way worse:
The Jack / Locke scene concludes with Locke telling Jack “I think I’m ready to get out of this chair.” Jack responds, “Are you sure? Cause crawling around is gonna be way more difficult.” Locke glares at him for two seconds, and Jack goes “OH! You mean the surgery. Durrr!” Did I mention that Jack is gonna be the new God?
Desmond strolls into the L.A.P.D. office and demands to see the only two detectives in town: Caesar and Dogen’s Sidekick. They bring him to Sawyer and Miles instead, and Desmond quickly admits, “I’m a total fugitive brothah,” and Sawyer casually throws him in jail with Sayid and Kate (Jailhouse Lost Rock!) Speaking of rock, Miles is attending a concert at his dad’s museum that night, and wants Sawyer to go with him. But it’s probably nothing significant, just some small talk to fill the last couple hours in the history of the 900-hour show with 60 billion plots to wrap up. After the least eventful episode of Oz ever, Desmond, Kate and Sayid are rounded up to go to County — despite Kate unsuccessfully lobbying for Sawyer to let her go because he looked at her that time — but while in the back of the wagon, a strangely calm Desmond tells the other two prisoners that he’s gonna free them as long as they promise to do what he says once they’re free. They both say “Sure but that’ll never happen LOL!” but the vehicle suddenly stops, and officer Ana Lucia uncuffs all of them in exchange for $145,000 of Hurley’s sweet fried chicken bucks. In the old reality, Ana Lucia was shot as a result of a shady deal Michael made with Ben, and now in this reality, she’s the one taking shady deals — it’s so Sideways, Paul Giamatti’s gonna try to drink it!!! The sideways reality concludes with Desmond handing Kate a dress and telling her they’re going “to a concert”. But which concert?? The same one that Miles and Jack happen to be going to, or another unrelated concert on the other side of town? Why are you going to a concert on the other side of town instead of the one with all the Lost characters, Desmond??? You’re running out of time!!! Also, Ben has dinner with Alex and Rousseau and finds out that Alex views him as a “father figure”. Awww – tears! Ben is so nice in this and all realities. OR IS HE??? Well, we know he’s not, so that wasn’t much of a cliffhanger to get you to read the next paragraph. So instead here’s the poster for the movie Cliffhanger:
UNGENTLE BEN Meanwhile, this week’s island plot resumes with Ben, Miles and Richard back in action after a three-week break, now strolling towards the Others barracks to grab explosives to destroy the plane (that was SO two weeks ago, guys – why don’t you email me the kittens going down the slide video while you’re at it). Miles feels something in one of the yards and Richard reluctantly tells Ben “It’s your daughter,” afraid he’s gonna be like “Whoaaaa too soooon!!!” but Ben’s touched by Richard’s decision to bury her. Niiiiiceeee Beeeennnn… They grab the explosives from Ben’s secret-secret room, but are quickly confronted by Widmore and Zoe, who make fun of Ben’s plan to blow up the Ajira plane, because he’s always three steps behind:
Ben asks Widmore how he got back to the island and Widmore explains that Jacob came to him off the island and told him everything, which Ben doesn’t believe because he’s never actually seen Jacob, but Widmore’s like “Oh yes I have,” and they argue back and forth until Widmore whips out the “Yes I have times infinity plus one.” Uhoh, here comes the smoke monster in a canoe!
And here comes a dragon in a cab!
The group argues about how to keep Locke from coming into the cabin, and every character thinks they can talk him out of it, but they eventually decide on “Richard will get knocked offscreen real fast then Ben will immediately throw Widmore under the bus.” The plan works perfectly:
Locke tells Ben he needs some help killing some people, and also needs Ben to pick him up from the airport next Thursday, but only if it’s not a big deal (though he just says the big deal part to be a good friend, he seriously is counting on Ben to pick him up). Ben agrees with astonishing speed and reveals that Widmore is hiding in his secret room, and he and the monster walk back inside to stare down Zoe and Widmore and turn the island into this. Widmore tells Zoe not to say anything so Locke immediately slits her throat, because Widmore told her not to say anything (sound reasoning), and tells Widmore he only has one question, “Why did you come back?”, and if he answers it, he won’t kill Penny when he gets off the island. Widmore doesn’t believe him until he’s like, “I give you my word as a magical column of smoke that murders people,” and Widmore explains that Desmond’s resistance to electromagnetism made him the last resort after Jacob’s death, then he’s like “this doesn’t make a lot of sense so let me just whisper the rest to you so we don’t have to hear it spelled out,” and as he’s doing so, Ben shoots him a bunch of times. Ben tries to deliver the one-liner “He doesn’t get to save his daughter,” but any badassery in this line is quickly undermined when Locke’s like, “Oh NBD, he already told me the thing. Lunch?”
Clearly, Ben isn’t just on a randomly evil killing spree. One or both of the following things is true: 1) Ben killed Widmore just to specifically get revenge on him for Alex, but also to win over Locke’s trust – he’s not just gonna instantly kill everyone else too. 2) He and Widmore are in cahoots, and this was part of their very extreme last-resort plan. I highly doubt that a Widmore bullet proof vest will be unveiled in the finale, for the sake of everyone’s dignity. Ben’s clearly setting himself up for something grand in the finale; if someone’s gonna take out the smoke monster, likely at the expense of his own life, I think it’s gonna be him. Or possibly Hurley. (It will not be Hurley.) THROW AN “-OB” AT THE END OF “JACK” Jack, Kate and Co. are still mourning the loss of their three sub pals, and Sawyer gives Jack the obligatory “I killed them, didn’t I?” JACK’S BRAIN: “Say yes say yes say yes say yes say yes say yes say yes say yes say yes…” JACK’S MOUTH: “No, you didn’t. Locke did. You just really, really helped. Helped us escape! I mean. Man, you suck at things worse than I do now.” Baby Jacob appears to Hurley and grabs his own ashes from him (trippy!), and when Hurley runs to follow him, adult Jacob is there burning them in a fire, and explains that when that fire burns out, he’s gone forever, so there’s that rule. Hurley rounds up his colleagues for a climactic final discussion around a campfire, and just as as Jacob is beginning to finally explain the entire reason all of them are there, Jack whips out a guitar and starts singing “Wonderwall” and everyone joins in, and Jacob sighs and stops talking.
When they’re finished, Jacob resumes explaining that he made a mistake many years ago that may destroy the world, and he had to pull these candidates out of their miserable earth lives so one of them can assume his responsibilities after he’s gone. Jack valiantly steps forward and says “I’ll do it. This is why I’m here.” Jacob’s like, “…Yeah, it is why you’re here, I just told you that.” To protect the island, they must do what Jacob was never able to do: Kill the Man In Black. Jack says, “Is that even possible?” Jacob answers, “Ionknow. What am I, a doctor?”
Jacob proceeds to explain Jack’s responsibilities: “The trash gets picked up every Tuesday night — remember to separate out aluminum and plastic, but paper’s its own thing — the island dog gets fed twice a day but only two cans of wet food a week, and you have to guard that light thing we learned about the other day. DO NOT forget the trash.” He mumbles the island prayer to himself, then puts some creek water in a cup and gives it to Jack. Jack asks, “How long am I gonna have to do this job? This won’t mess up my Thanksgiving plans, right?” Jacob answers, “Ehhhhrrrmmm, I’ll look into that, you drink.” Jack drinks. Jacob says, “Now you are like me.” This part fails to win the Scenie Award for Best Scene Of The Episode, but we suppose it’s necessary. If this was the internet in 2006, someone would’ve remixed this scene with the Brokeback Mountain guitar.
The episode concludes with a cut back to Locke telling Ben he’s gonna find Desmond and when he does, he’s gonna destroy the island. LOST. Umm, no one ever talked about doing that at any point in the series, but, well, cool. We’re almost at the end, so might as well blow it up. Why not? What’re you gonna do on it after next week, have concerts there? LOSTDS AND ENDS – In general, this was a ridiculously straightforward episode, with the island and sideways plots both proceeding very logically and in a linear fashion, and with several questions answered and nothing confusing introduced. I have never written this sentence before without it being extreme sarcasm. Weird. – Locke walks around as a human instead of flying because he likes to feel his feet on the ground. Plothole = Gone! (Sure.) – Hurley and Scott Hartnell of the Flyers, Hair Palz:
– We’re assuming Richard isn’t dead, right? Don’t think they’d kill off the immortal, unaging island seer by pulling out one of those olde timey red-and-white hooks they use in cartoons to snag performers off a stage. – The title, “What They Died For” is a phrase mentioned at the very end of the book Johnny Tremain: “Hundreds would die, but not the thing they died for. ‘A man can stand up …’ ” Perhaps next week is Jack’s week to “stand up” and defeat the smoke monster? Or get his hand deformed in an accident? Pleeeease the latter… (P.S. – I’m awesome at picking out literary references as long as they don’t go beyond 7th grade – if they reference View From The Cherry Tree in the finale, I’m all over that.) – Next week on Lost: Weird, crappy haunted lady voiceover. Now I am going to watch the Lost finale. I wonder if the time for questions is over? “What They Died For” episode thoughts? Questions? Comments? Theories? Finale predictions? Leave ‘em all in the comments – only ONE MORE EPISODE before we can resume our actual lives (BOOOOOO!!!!)

With her flouncy summer dress and wicker hat, she epitomized the classic “flight-attendant casual” look. Okay, that "look" may not yet exist in fashion terminology, but she is, in fact, a flight attendant here in the city who's in between shifts. She works for Emirates Airlines, and therefore must be based in Dubai, a city about which she has mixed feelings. “It’s good. It’s not fantastic, to be honest. But it’s … it’s different.” That day she’d been roaming Soho and Williamsburg in an all-Japanese number, complete with Chanel rings and a pair of Eiffel Tower earrings she made. So let’s review: born in Japan, living in Dubai, working on an airliner, running around New York — this chick is global. Click to watch!

Big big big big big news. Matt LeBlanc, known to the world as the idiotic Joey on Friends and the unwatchable Joey on Joey, is back. And ladiessss and fans of Anderson Cooper gentlemen, HE HAS GONE GRAY. And forgive us, but holy sh*t, Matt LeBlanc looks hotter than he ever has in this history of his LeBlancness. “Could He Get Any Grayer?” — Gay Chandler wonders, and hope the answer is yes. Matt drew LeBlanc stares while filming the upcoming Showtime/BBC series Episodes, a new series from Friends creator David Crane about a British television series that is being remade for American audiences, a la The Office or Coupling. Matt LeBlanc will be playing Matt LeBlanc. No jokes, he’s playing himself. Sounds to me like the best work Matt has gotten since his appearance in the Chabad Telethon. But seriously, folks, sounds interesting. Showtime has been on a roll lately with their original programming. I, for one, will be watching. And only 99.9 percent of that has to do with LeBlanc’s new hair color.

He'll show his first men's looks at the Pitti W trade show in Florence on June 16. The Paris-based designer told WWD, “We’re searching for the man behind the Ackermann woman. It’s just a start.” He plans to commercialize some pieces for next season and said he finds men's harder than women's. "Women’s wear is something I fantasize, but with men’s wear, you are comparing it to yourself. I am the consumer." Men, you have something to look forward to.

"You learn what a customer's needs are," she says. "There are a million collections out there, so there has to be a reason why people like this one." For Pencey, Minasian's three-year-old label, one reason is the clothes' easy versatility. "Nothing is perfect and nothing is too complicated," she explains. "Everything can be worn with sneakers or platforms." Pencey's summer collection hits stores this week, stocked with military jackets, worn-in denim, eyelet dresses, and wild prints inspired by the colors of Miami and music fests like Coachella and Bonnaroo. Minasian's complementary secondary line, Sauce, offers classic T-shirts that she's reworked into wearable pop art (a look she describes as "surf rock meets Tokyo"). Pencey is available at Barneys, Intermix, and Shopbop online. Click ahead to see more looks from the summer collection.

Sure. Especially in Europe where they’re all for being a bit zanier. You know, ’cause they’re European. But he just seems so pleased with himself.

No Kidding. Addiction to plastic surgery is sad. Especially when you were once super cute. But it’s also HA! I mean, sad face. I mean LOL! Honestly, they seem happy. They’re at Cannes. They’re in tuxes. No problem. Interesting side note:
I would LOVE to get my hands on those pieces. On a scale of 1 to L. Ron Hubbard, I wonder how crazy they were. Probably directly proportional to the craziness of their faces.
