News: Entertainment News | 21 May 2010 | 12:32 am Industry Roundup: Robyn and Kelis Team Up For Tour Heart to Heart: Robyn and Kelis will be embarking on a co-headlining tour, which they announced today via a cutesy back-and-forth Twitter conversation. After some initial banter, Kelis tweeted, "Lets call [the tour] 'All Hearts.' What do you think?"... to which Robyn responded: “#allheartstour in the us. heartbrake on all four on top of a speaker in a shower of star dust and acid rain," which we're just going to assume was her way of saying "Sounds good." [Pitchfork] Taking The Chair: Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code) will make his directing debut with Man and Wife, a drama about an assassin who is hired to kill a family but has trouble going through with it when he “falls in love with them.” It's the "them" there that's tripping us up a bit, but color us intrigued. [Deadline] Scream Makes Offers: Dimension has begin casting Scream 4, which will bring back original cast members Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox, but with a new roster of younger folk. Lake Bell is in negotiations to join the film, and offers have been made to Ashley Greene (Twilight), Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) and Rory Culkin (Twelve) for key roles. Greene would play the film’s heroine, Campbell’s cousin; Panettiere would be Greene's nerdy "film geek" best friend; Culkin would play Greene’s love interest; and Bell is in negotiations to play a police officer. Apparently casting is moving slowly because the studio isn’t sending the script out to “protect its secrecy,” so actors are having trouble deciding if roles are for them based on the character descriptions alone. Here’s a clue, guys: you're all going to have to shriek a lot, maybe kiss each other once or twice, and then die in some overly staged manner. [Heat Vision/HR] Blame The Book: Chris Lowell (Private Practice) is in negotiations to join The Help, based on Kathryn Stockett’s novel. The film stars Emma Stone as Skeeter, an aspiring writer in 1960s Mississippi who writes a book about the way black maids are treated by society. Lowell will play her boyfriend, a senator's son who breaks up with her because of the book. But probably also a little bit because it just got too hard for him to say his girlfriend's name with a straight face. [HR] Double Mac: Just as the parody MacGruber is hitting theaters, things are moving along on the film adaptation of MacGyver, the television series which inspired it. Jason Richman (Bad Company) will write the script, based on the adventure series which ran from 1985 to 1992 on ABC. Despite the strange timing, at least the release of the parody doesn't seem to be deterring this project, after the failed attempt by MacGyver's creator to block MacGruber's release. No doubt Pepsi will be banned on the MacGyver set. [Risky Business/HR] Strange Indeed: Dance-punk band !!! is releasing new album Strange Weather, Isn’t It? on August 24, their first album since 2007’s Myth Takes. The rare album title that doubles as an ice breaker. [Pitchfork] Kaboom!: Gary Oldman will lend his voice to Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, the 3D sequel to the 2008 original, centered on a panda named Po voiced by Jack Black. Oldman will voice "a character named Peacock," who is "more than he seems" and who helps Po find evil bandits. Wait, is the idea here that the "character" named Peacock isn't actually a peacock? For a kids' movie, Kaboom seems poised to pose some incisive philosophical questions.

And after viewing the first trailer for this August’s Going the Distance, a Nanette Burstein romantic comedy about a long-distance relationship, which stars Drew Barrymore and her long-time, on-and-off boyfriend Justin Long, this one… seems like it could go either way! On the plus side, it’s got some top-notch supporting players (Christina Applegate, SNL’s Jason Sudeikis, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Charlie Day) and Barrymore thankfully appears to have turned down her sanguine dial a bit. Working against it though is the couple’s vaguely irritating, (500) Days of Summer-esque banter (“What’s your favorite food?" "Tortellini." "How would you like to die?" "Eating too much tortellini"), not to mention jokes revolving around pubic hair, overzealous male-on-male hugging and the trials of fake tanning.

Source: FOXNews.com | 20 May 2010 | 4:52 pm We’re Very Close to The End: The Latest Internet Lost Finale Theories "I've got to stop shaving in my sleep." Whether you’ve been watching Lost for one month or six years, there’s a lot of pressure on this Sunday’s finale to deliver the goods. Viewers want an emotionally satisfying, information-laden, logical resolution to one of the most ambitious television series of all time. And yet, with only two and a half hours remaining, we still don’t have a very good idea of what that resolution is going to look like. This week’s installment of our favorite Island drama gave some interesting answers and left us with a season's worth of questions, but it’s time to focus on how everything will wind down. For insight into the possibilities for the finale, we looked to our favorite recappers, bloggers, and commenters for answers, perhaps for the last time ever. • Since it appears that alt-Hurley has already come to terms with his life in the original timeline, the finale’s going to be all about the Sideways characters grappling with their suddenly downloaded memories and what to do with that knowledge. Either they’re going to have to make a choice to reject one timeline and all that comes with it, or they will somehow become complete in the Sideways universe with these memories. [Tuned In/Time] • Battlestar Galactica’s finale involved an opera house. Lost’s finale looks like it partially take place in a concert hall. Could this be a hint that Sunday’s finale will be end similarly? [MTV Movies Blog] • We know who the expected guests at the concert are, but what about the unexpected arrivals? Keep an eye out for Eloise Hawking making a last-ditch effort to keep the Sideways universe intact. [Watcher/Chicago Tribune] • Though it wouldn’t be his intention, Desmond entering the Source would set off a chain reaction of events that would destroy the Island. Hopefully Jack the Protector can keep that from happening. And if Des is going to be successful in taking down Smokey, it’s going to require action on his part in both timelines. [Mistaking Coincidence for Fate] • Getting the gang together just to help them “remember” the original timeline isn’t worth all the effort Des is putting forth, so there’s got to be something more important he’s after. It’s possible the epiphanies in the Sideways universe will somehow help out the surviving members of the original timeline in taking Smokey down. [Magic Lamp] • Ripe for death in the finale are Sawyer, Kate, and Hurley, since they were only being kept alive because they were candidates. Now that Jack has taken over, one or all of them could perish in the final showdown. [TV Squad] • The best way for the series to end would be for Jack to find out that everything he had been told about the Source is flat-out wrong, and that everything we’ve seen is the result of campaign of misinformation. [AV Club] • We seem to be headed for another eternity of strife, with Jack in the Jacob role and Ben playing the part of Smokey. But Desmond is a game-changer, and he’s likely to ask everyone to “let go,” encouraging these characters to question dogma and move beyond it. That’s the only way the cycle of violence wrought by the Island can come to an end. [Slate] • Doc Jensen isn't so sure our castaways can even kill the smoke monster—after all, how does one destroy something that is just pure (evil) soul? Maybe the trick is getting him to do it himself, playing on his nostalgia for once being human. As for protecting the cave, maybe everyone will wind up protector. If every man has a little bit of it inside himself, why not just re-distribute the contents of the cave amongst the world? Doc posits that Desmond popping inside is the way to do this (though he also argues that either Ben or Hurley will end up as the Island's new protector). Plus: Ben is totally conning MiB. [Totally Lost/EW] • What was up with Desmond prank-calling Jack about Oceanic finding his dad's coffin? Is it to keep him away from the concert everyone seems to be heading to? Maybe he needs to be at the airport from some reason, possibly to get on a plane. [Ed: Where IS Christian's body, anyway?] [Arts Beat/NYT] • Desmond called Jack about the coffin because he has it waiting in Hurley's Hummer, putting four generations of Shephard men—Jack, Christian, David, and Aaron—all in the same place at the concert, along with every other character (click through to see this writer's idea of their paths to the concert, though Sun and Jin are a bit up in the air). Speaking of Aaron, it's very likely that 57-month-pregnant Claire will go into labor at the concert. Perhaps they'll need an airlift to the hospital, piloted by none other than Frank Lapidus. And while we're on the subject of Aaron, he's not who Jacob was talking about when he told Kate he crossed her name off because she became a mother; he crossed her name off because she is pregnant, with a baby conceived during her and Jack's sad we're-going-back-to-the-Island-sex before they headed for Ajira 316. [JOpinionated] • But why would Desmond want Jack at the airport? If the Island is underwater, there would be nothing for a new plane to crash on to. On Island, meanwhile, Richard definitely isn't dead, and he's going to team up with Miles. Might they head to Hydra and find an also not dead Lapidus floating in the sea? [Long Live Locke] • The fact that the bamboo grove where Jack first landed is right next to the cave/heart of the Island proves that he really has been the candidate all along. Could his final acceptance of this be why he's bleeding in the Sideways world? Does it reflect his saying goodbye to mortality? This blogger isn't certain what will happen when everyone "wakes up" in the Sideways timeline, but is confident they'll all do it at the same time. [Televisionary] • Why do we keep seeing that cut on Jack's neck? Because he's going to get that injury on the Island right when the two timelines merge together. Also, can MiB exist in Locke's form off the Island? [TV Guide] • It was a bad move on Smokey's part to tell Ben he was going to destroy the Island—considering he just promised Ben he could have it, why would Ben help him if he's only going to destroy it? Also, where did Jack get that cup? [Videogum] • WaPo's dueling bloggers are indeed dueling when it comes to the finale, as one of them is doubting Sideways-Desmond's intentions, nothing that he doesn't seem like the nicest guy in this world. However, the other argues that Des is doing exactly what he told Ben he was doing—he does want to wake them all up and make them whole. Chances are this wake-up is going to happen at the exact same moment that MiB tries to destroy the Island, but perhaps Sideways-Desmond's efforts will save things…and reunite him with Penny. [Celebritology/WaPo] • Jack isn't going to stick around as the protector of the Island, and the show itself has provided proof: first of all, from Mother's words ("I see now that it was always you."), it looks like the Island has chosen past protectors, not vice versa. Jacob noticed Jack's hesitation in volunteering for the job, and also told him to protect it for "as long as you can," which could be no time at all. Finally, if it seems like anyone on this Island is sure of what they're meant to do, it's not Jack—it's Desmond. [Watch With Kristen/E! Online] • No theories from this blogger, but she does ask an interesting question that could have serious implications for the finale: why are their different degrees of visions? Hurley seems to remember everything and everyone (i.e. Ana Lucia), yet Ben only remembered getting beat up by Desmond. What happens if everyone doesn't wake up completely? [Nik at Nite] • Assuming Smokey succeeding in destroying the Island creates the Sideways timeline, where is Smokey in that timeline? Could he be someone who died in the original timeline? Or could he be someone we hadn't met before, like David Shephard? [Tom and Lorenzo] • David probably isn't the Man in Black, but what if he's a device constructed to keep Jack invested in the Sideways timeline? What happens if Jack has to choose between worlds? It seems there's something keeping them all distracted—Kate's running, Hurley's happily Rich, Sayid travels the world, Sawyer's still obsessed with Anthony Cooper, Ben meets Rousseau just as he gets his "wake-up call," etc. P.S. Hurley's probably taking Sayid to see Shannon. [It Happened Last Night] • Redemption is definitely a major theme this season, but what about loneliness? Jacob—pretty much the loneliest guy out there, having lived alone on an Island for 2,000 years with an murderous monster masquerading as his brother—points out that our candidates were like him, "all alone, all looking for something you couldn't find out there." Watch for this theme in Sunday's final chapter. [The Lost Blog/Filmfodder] • Commenter uberlegitimate doesn't buy Widmore's excuse that Jacob sent him back to the Island. Instead, he returned (both times) to take the power of the light in the cave, and planned to use Desmond to get it. • dignell guesses that Sawyer will be the one to reconcile the timelines. His life isn't great in either one, and, despite his snarky comments, he looked a bit jealous as he watched Jack drink with Jacob. • tights_are_not_pants thinks that walkie-talkie was more for Miles's protection than for a way for Ben to keep in touch with him. Remember when he smashed that walkie from Widmore earlier in the season? Could any electronics function as a low-level pylon? If there's one thing Ben always has, it's a plan. • Sboobydoo doesn't think Widmore died when Ben shot him, either because he was wearing a vest or because of the "rules" they mentioned a few seasons ago that prevent the two from killing each other—rules that MiB doesn't know about. Don't discount Ben's redemption plotline with Ilana so quickly. Read more posts by Michael Alan Connelly and Alexandra Martell Filed Under: lost, theories, tv

Source: Daily Intel | 20 May 2010 | 4:15 pm The ‘Cult of Khaki’ Is Upon Us Spring 2010 looks from left: Michael Bastian, Band of Outsiders, Burberry. Remember when jeans became a thing? One day they were just blue $60 cotton pants, and the next they were $200 expertly sandblasted premium denim pants. Bespoke denim stores offering all kinds of washes and vintage treatments popped up. Pick your rivets! Gold, silver, or bronze! Maybe real diamonds! Now we have jeggings and all kinds of crazy things. Well, the same thing is happening to khakis, according to the Times, since they're the new fancy jean for young men: [W]ith the fascination over premium denim having nearly exhausted its laundry list of spins, it is not surprising that, this spring, young men’s fancy has turned to khaki. The appeal — at least in theory — is simple. More dressed up than jeans without getting all fancy-pants, khaki can go to the office, then go to the dogs: the Eddie Haskell of clothing.
[J]ust as Jean Shop took denim mania to a new level of fetish, offering a spectrum of perfected fits and attractive washes, shops like Save Khaki and Grown & Sewn are hard at work cultivating a cult of khaki, with different fits, colors and weights of fabric. Grown & Sewn has even gone all archival, using Cramerton cloth, used in the 1930s for United States military uniforms, as one of its fabrics, but has borrowed a blue-jeans fit to give its khakis a jolt of sex appeal.
[E]ven with the ministrations of new designers, khakis have some liabilities that jeans do not. Pair khakis with a sport coat or a dress shirt, and you run the risk of looking either needlessly spiffy or parentally bland, more Harvard Business School professor than social networking seer.

Source: Vulture | 20 May 2010 | 4:15 pm Julian Schnabel Scholds Audience at Hiro Ballroom Having Julian Schnabel come to your defense is a double-edged sword, actor Ben Foster found when he hosted the Anthology Film Archives 40th-anniversary event at Hiro ballroom last night. The rustling and talking of the crowd during Foster's introduction of acts — the Virgins, Sonic Youth, and Lou Reed, among others — so unnerved the Schnab that the artist was moved to jump onstage, grab the mike, and schold the audience: "I'm sorry, are we bothering you down here?" he bleated, addressing the upstairs balcony, where most of the noise was coming from. "Ben is down here saying some important and intelligent things," he went on. "Why don't you have some fucking respect? You people are making me sick." Though the crowd was momentarily shocked into silence, it didn't last, and as an eruption of boos from the audience started making things more awkward, Foster was forced to step onstage and assure the crowd that really, "I don't care" if they listened to him or not, no doubt thinking: Thanks a lot, Schnabel.

They're willing to give up some space to the people that come here and support our industries." He isn't serious, is he?

Source: Daily Intel | 20 May 2010 | 3:30 pm Why Should Michelle Obama’s Glamour Be Startling? Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn noticed that the reactions to Michelle Obama's latest state-dinner ensemble — a sparkly blue dress with a lace-up back, curly hair, and blue eye shadow — are generally gushing. But she also noticed that some were "startled" by the look:
Is America having a tough time adjusting to a First Lady that likes to look a little trendy, and even a little sexy, when she dresses up? This was certainly one of her more va-va-voom looks, but fashion-wise, she's always been creative for a First Lady. It's not Oscar de la Renta, pantsuit, Oscar de la Renta, pantsuit. Just because she's in Washington doesn't mean she has to be predictable. If she likes dressing up, should that be such a surprise? And if we're going to compare this look to anyone, let's go with Diana Ross, which is who Horyn compares her to. Not Gaga. She's not Christina Aguilera, after all.

Donna Karan, the fashion designer, has a studio next door to my apartment. She wants to get a liquor license for her studio so she can have parties there and bother my family.

Today’s question: Who will speak the last line in the series finale? Answers (and optional explanations) in the comments, por favLost.
Jack: 2-1 So who’s it gonna be? Debate away in the comments. If you guess correctly, you’ll receive a high-five from me. Remember to leave your name, credit card number, and that number on the back of your credit card in the comments so I can deliver your high-five. My own answer, after the jump: I think the last line is gonna be Desmond saying “See ya in another life, brothah,” if only because a friend of mine suggested that and I can’t possibly think of a better or more appropriate way for the series to end. I think Ben and Locke will both be dead by the end, and I’m not sure why Sawyer or Kate would randomly be given the last line over Jack, if the show goes the “main character” route instead. As a sleeper bet, though, I like Hurley at 7-1 in the arbitrary odds system I just made up — I could totally foresee the show taking a light route and allowing Hurley to give some winking quip at the very end to punctuate, and maybe undermine, whatever dramatic conclusion just occurred. Plus there’s no way the show’s gonna kill off Hurley. Still? The bet here is Desmond. Or Keamy. Please agree/disagree.

We got some Hot Press coming through! Hot Press! Courtney Love recently sat down with Ireland’s Hot Press (Hot Press! Can’t stop saying it) and revealed that she had an affair, a lesbian affair, with Kate Moss in the 90’s. Says Love:
That’s so weird because I almost bought Kate’s house in St. John’s Wood in London too! I like how Love needs to make it clear that Kate wasn’t doing a lot of drugs. Like, she came to Love of her own accord, clearheaded in her intent to make Love hers, lesbian-wise. Sure. It’s Milan in the 90’s, the decade characterized by heroin chic. There were drugs involved. I’m not saying that Kate (I call her Kate) wouldn’t come to Love of her own free will. She’s a rock legend with a crazy amount of magnetism, emphasis on the crazy.
