Source: Vulture | 9 Jun 2010 | 12:09 am Industry Roundup: Actress Dream Quartet Joins Paul Rudd In Idiot Fantastic Four: Paul Rudd will be joined by a quartet of awesomeness in the upcoming comedy My Idiot Brother. Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer and Rashida Jones have joined the Jesse Peretz film about a dude (Rudd) dealing with an overbearing mother who crashes at the homes of his “three ambitious sisters” (Banks, Deschanel and Mortimer) and brings “truth, happiness and a sunny disposition” into their lives while, of course, also “wreaking havoc.” And in a casting move likely to cause indie boys (and girls) everywhere to pass out on the spot, Jones will be playing Deschanel’s girlfriend. [HR] McVampire: David Tennant (Doctor Who) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) are joining the cast of Fright Night, a remake of the 1985 film. The duo joins Anton Yelchin as a teenager convinced his new neighbor (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. Tennant will play Peter Vincent, a Las Vegas magician who claims to be a “vampire expert” (but who ends up being “less than helpful”) and Mintz-Plasse will portray “Evil Ed,” Yelchin’s friend who gets his feelings hurt when his bud ditches him - so, he resolves to join the vampire’s cult. That'll show him, McLovin'. [Heat Vision/HR] Scaly: Vinnie Jones (Snatch, X-Men: The Last Stand) has joined NBC’s The Cape as a series regular. Jones will play Scales, a scary man with a “freakish skin condition that gives him the appearance of green and gold scales.” Cape is centered on a cop framed for murder and presumed dead who then takes on the identity of his son’s favorite comic book hero to fight back against those who screwed him. Well, it shouldn't be too hard for him to find this Scales guy. [HR] Quale's Destination: Steven Quale, the second unit director on Avatar, described as “James Cameron’s protégé,” will get his chance to shine on his own, as he has been tapped to helm Final Destination 5. According to insiders, Cameron called the studio to recommend Quail, at which point it was probably a done deal... since who is going to dare piss off James Cameron? [Heat Vision/HR] Dark Affair: Max Minghella (Agora) will star in The Darkest Hour opposite Emile Hirsch and Olivia Thirlby. The film centers on a group of kids who are “struggling to survive” in Russia after an alien invasion. Minghella, the son of late director Anthony, will also be appearing in the upcoming Facebook film The Social Network, which is about a very different kind of wasteland. [Variety] Funny Doc: The story of the humor magazine National Lampoon will be the subject of a documentary from Douglas Tirola and Susan Bedusa (All In: The Poker Movie, An Omar Broadway Film). The film will tell the tale of the Lampoon from its beginnings as the Harvard Lampoon up through its transformation into a movie-making powerhouse. For those of you who have ever been watching Van Wilder and wondered "what are the series of events that led to this moment being possible"?

Three months since the New York State Attorney General’s office opened up the investigation, Paterson has still not been interviewed by Judge Judith Kaye’s team, and no date has been set for that conversation. “I hope to have something that’s prompt and comprehensive,” Kaye said, explaining her team was “just plugging ahead.” [WSJ] Read more posts by Josh Duboff Filed Under: the cuddle muddle, david johnson, david paterson

Harry Reid got a little breathing room tonight. Today was the biggest primary day of the year, with eleven states deciding their party nominees for House, Senate, and governor, including some big races the political world has been following for months. So who easily won exactly as we expected them to, who pulled off an upset, and what did we learn from all of it? Let's break it down. Arkansas — Democrat Blanche Lincoln pulled off a huge upset victory in her run-off with lieutenant governor Bill Halter. We know it's strange to refer to an incumbent winning a primary race as an "upset," but it's all about exceeding expectations. Just this morning, Politico's Mike Allen reported that "state's political establishment" predicted Lincoln would lose by anywhere from 5 to 10 points. She was considered especially vulnerable as an establishment candidate who invited the ire of the Democratic base with her opposition to the public option, and then failed to top 50 percent in the original primary a few weeks ago, triggering the run-off today. She's still an underdog to win in the general election, however. South Carolina — Nikki Haley, star of the tawdriest race this year, won her Republican primary for governor tonight against three challengers, but just barely failed to reach the 50 percent threshold, setting up a run-off with second place finisher Gresham Barrett. However, according to Bill Kristol on Fox News tonight, party insiders expect Barrett to drop out and concede the nomination to Haley. Nevada — Tea party favorite Sharron Angle won the highly coveted honor of taking on the vulnerable Harry Reid for the Republicans this November, by beating out former front-runner Sue "Chicken-care" Lowden. However, Reid is already licking his chops at the prospect of having the far-right Angle as his opponent. Also in Nevada, incumbent Republican governor Jim Gibbons has lost to former federal judge Brian Sandoval. California — Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina cruised to victory in the Republican senate primary and will now face incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer (Slate blogger Mickey Kaus came in a very distant third in the Democratic primary), while former eBay CEO Meg Whitman had trounced the field in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nod and will face former governor Jerry Brown in the general election.

Source: Daily Intel | 8 Jun 2010 | 10:35 pm Arrest Warrant Issued For Lindsay Lohan At least she has 'True Blood' to look forward to. Only a few weeks after Lindsay Lohan was ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring device, she’s found herself in trouble yet again. Lohan was forced to post $200,000 bail Tuesday evening to avoid being detained, after a judge issued a warrant for her arrest. Sources said the device’s alarm went off Sunday evening, the night Lohan was attending the MTV Movie Awards; her attorney said the device detected a small amount of alcohol that night, but that she could not “verify its accuracy.” LiLo, who did not appear in court, spent the night frantically tweeting, of course: “My scram wasn't set off-Its physically impossible considering I've nothing for it to go off-All of these false resports are absolutely wrong,” she posted at about 5 p.m. Her mind quickly moved on to other topics though, tweeting a few hours later: “cinderella man off of eminem's new record is insane!” and “TRUE BLOOD COUNTDOWN! starting now.... hehe."

Never fear, though: Sarah Palin is available to solve all of Obama’s problems. Palin trashed the president’s handling of the spill on her Facebook page (of course) Tuesday, writing that the fact Obama hasn’t yet spoken with BP’s chief executive proves it “bodes well to have some sort of executive experience before occupying the Oval Office.” She said Obama should consult "experts who have experience holding oil companies accountable," including those in Alaska: “Give them a call,” she wrote, "Or, what the heck, give me a call."

Boyett said a “few Hollywood types have expressed interest," though he is also open to casting an unknown.

A day before the U.N. Security Council will vote on the measure, Hillary Clinton said the proposed new sanctions the organization will impose on Iran are the “most significant" the country "has ever faced.” The secretary of state said there is widespread support for a fourth resolution which would penalize Iran for its refusal to demonstrate that its nuclear program is peaceful, as Clinton noted "the amount of unity that has been engendered by the international community is very significant." According to the AP, the U.N. resolution would include sanctions tougher than those previously levied, though there would not be any explicit economic punishments nor an oil embargo. The sanctions will call for countries to block financial transactions with the country and ban the licensing of Iran’s banks if there is reason to believe that these activities are contributing to the nuclear program. "The strategy here is a combination of diplomacy and pressure to persuade the Iranians that they are headed in the wrong direction in terms of their own security, that they will undermine their security by pursuit of nuclear weapons, not enhance it," U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.

After Gaga’s epic, bleak "Alejandro" video dropped today, filled with the kind of overt religious symbols that seem solely intended to generate controversy (Gaga snacks on some rosary beads, Gaga sports a red crucifix taped on her crotch, etc.), Katy Perry - who got her start in the Christian music world - tweeted, “Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke,” widely considered to be a reference to the video. The criticism is slightly hard to take though coming from a woman who relied on faux-lesbianism for her biggest hit song and wears a bra that sprays frosting in her upcoming video.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 8 Jun 2010 | 7:27 pm CNN, MSNBC Battling for Eliot Spitzer When CNN’s Campbell Brown left the network several weeks ago, Eliot Spitzer was immediately suggested as a possible panelist on a show that would air in the time slot left open by Brown's departure. But now Spitzer is being bandied about as a potential host at both CNN and MSNBC. Both networks have reached out to the former governor, who has completed several test runs (most recently filling in for Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC). While this would, to put it mildly, represent a rebound in the public sphere for the scandal-ridden documentary subject, one “veteran Spitzer watcher” couched the possibility in near-religious terms. "It seems to me that he craves the spotlight and I think he craves relevance," said Doug Muzzio, a Baruch College politics professor and veteran Spitzer watcher. "He really deeply believes that he has something to offer that is uniquely Spitzer and that drives him. The fact that he blew it on so many levels pushes him more. This is almost redemption."

Source: FOXNews.com | 8 Jun 2010 | 5:21 pm James L. Brooks Tells Vulture the New Title for His Upcoming Film...For Now Back in March, the New York Times chronicled Columbia Pictures’ exquisite agony at James L. Brooks’ inability to settle on a title for his forthcoming comedy, which stars Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson. At the time he was begrudgingly using the working title, How Do You Know, but wasn’t conceding that it was final. Now Brooks tells Vulture that he finally has a title he's happy with, at least this week: Everything You’ve Got. “Titles make me nuts,” grouses Brooks, taking a break from editing his new movie. “I have a terrible time with titles.” The name derives from the plot, Brooks explains: "Two people meet on the worst nights of their lives, and they’re being tested by adversity. I think the thing about life is, most of us reach that point where life can't be the same when this thing happens. It's just then when you have to give everything you've got and pray that it’s enough.” The title is specifically cropped from one of Witherspoon's line of dialogue. "She says [to Rudd], ‘I mean, if you can't give everything you've got to whatever your doing right now, then you'll never be able to give everything to anything.’ She's speaking about herself, but the thought illuminates a point in his life, too.” However, a reaction to this title emerges that one really should keep to oneself but can't: Doesn't Everything You've Got seem even more cryptic than How Do You Know? At this, Brooks deflates a bit. "Really? Well...Then there might actually be a third title coming soon."

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:45 pm Why the Knight & Day Trailer Might Help Rescue Tom Cruise's Career Ever since Tom Cruise got up on Oprah’s couch and declared his love for Katie Holmes half a decade ago (2005!), our relationship with the star has been strained. There have been some films —Mission Impossible III, Lions for Lambs, Valkyrie— that didn’t do as well as they once would have, but mostly, there has been a lot of weirdness, lots of Scientology, lots of Katie Holmes, lots of manic intensity. Now comes Knight and Day, Cruise’s movie about a possibly deranged covert agent on the run with Cameron Diaz. It’s his first film in a year and a half, and yet another referendum on his waxing/waning star power. As we mentioned when the trailer first appeared, we can understand why Cruise might be attracted to a project about a guy who successfully proves he’s not a nutjob—but what it took us a little longer to figure out is why the trailer makes Knight & Day seem like the movie that might, just finally, get Cruise’s career back on track. (Sorry Les Grossman, you’re not going to be the one to do). It’s because the Knight & Day trailer is a two and a half minute recap/explanation/apology for the last five years of Cruise’s life, with an as yet unrealized happy ending tacked on. The trailer (which you can find below) can be broken down into five distinct acts. Act 1: Letting us know our mixed feelings about Tom Cruise are appropriate. Act 2: Owning up to the weirdness. Act 3: Building back our trust. Act 4: A moment of doubt Act 5: Enjoying a Tom Cruise action movie in the first time in forever and it feels good. Epilogue: Cameron Diaz is now the spaz who runs around like a dingbat, while Tom Cruise competently counts to three.

Source: Vulture | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:30 pm Evil Bird Scientists Not Sure We Should Be Cleaning Oil Off of Birds This bird will forever haunt our dreams. There is debate brewing right now about whether we should be cleaning off wild birds that get covered in our oil, or whether we should just put them out of their misery. On the one side, there are heartless scientists who pretend to care about the overall welfare of birds. “It might make us feel better to clean them up and send them back out,” says Daniel Anderson, an ornithologist at the University of California, Davis. “But there’s a real question of how much it actually does for the birds, aside from prolong their suffering.”
For example: In 1995, ornithologist Brian Sharp published a study in Ibis: the International Journal of Avian Science concluding that for oiled, cleaned guillemots, life expectancy after their release into the wild was 9.6 days and long-term recovery rates were 10-20% of those of non-oiled birds. For a story ten years after the Exxon Valdez leak, Sharp told ABC News’ Bill Blakemore in 1999 that half the birds rescued and treated and returned to the wild “were dead within five days of release. The rest die within a matter of weeks, and only 1 in 100 survives a year.”

Source: The Cut | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:20 pm Rubicon Trailer: Crossword Puzzles of Death! They've squeezed acclaim, awards, and not-bad ratings from premises involving meth-baking school teachers and affair-having advertising directors, but can the nice people at AMC do the same for a show about a crossword-solving, conspiracy-busting think tank employee? If the first trailer for Rubicon — which premieres this Sunday, after the Breaking Bad finale — is anything to go by, yes, probably. We like James Badge Dale (24, The Pacific) and everything else here looks good enough to make this ad's hilarious excitement-ratcheting soundtrack seem totally unnecessary (the brass makes it sound like Batman might jump out or something).

Source: Vulture | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:15 pm Jamie Dimon and Kirsten Gillibrand Fight, Make Up JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been highly critical of many aspects of the new financial-reform package. He particularly hates the limits it proposes on trading of derivatives, which he claims will negatively impact not only JPMorgan, but New York and the rest of the country, since it will likely just drive the business to some other place where they're more interested in being rich than in punishing people. According to Charlie Gasparino, during the financial-regulation negotiations a couple of weeks ago, Dimon even got into a "heated exchange" with New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand about the matter. A source familiar with Dimon's thinking, though not with the silken caress of his pillowy lips, confirms to Daily Intel that there were Words Exchanged. "He was hoping that she would take a stand for New York," sayeth the source, adding, "It's nothing new for Jamie Dimon to be direct about what he's thinking." Also fyi: "Since then they've spoken, and the relationship is fine." Read more posts by Jessica Pressler Filed Under: heated exchanges, business, jamie dimon, jpmorgan, pilfs

Source: The Cut | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:05 pm Stefano Tonchi Cleans House at W, Brings In Newsweek’s Ted Moncreiff It's a tumultuous day in the world of fashion editorial. First Sally Singer leaves Vogue for T, and now word comes that W's new editorial director, Stefano Tonchi (late of T himself), has cleaned house even further. When former editorial director Patrick McCarthy left, one editor described the top of the masthead situation as "dysfunctional." Now all three of the top editors under McCarthy are gone: Bridget Foley to edit WWD full-time, Dennis Freedman when our own Jody Quon was brought on as creative director, and now today Julie Belcove has been laid off. Belcove was among six editorial layoffs today. The Daily reported that the others include Dana Wood, fashion features editor, Brian Sullivan, the editorial manager, and Lauran Kill, his deputy. We hear that photo editor Nadia Vellam and Freedman's assistant, Meghan McElheny, round out the list. "The place is drowning in packing boxes," says a W staffer in the midst of all this. In hiring news, Tonchi brought on Newsweek's executive editor, Ted Moncreiff, who a source says will be valued for his managing and assigning skills as well as deep rolodex of writers.

Source: Daily Intel | 8 Jun 2010 | 4:02 pm Crazy Trains and a Donna Karan–Christopher Bailey Love Affair at the CFDA Awards Whitney Port, Iman, Sarah Jessica Parker. We get the appeal of wearing a dress with a giant train to a fashion event, but the cocktails-only setup for last night’s Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards pre-party and after-party ensured that those who did were greeted by many an unsuspecting high heel. Even we almost tripped over the train on Whitney Port’s silver David Meister dress. (She wasn’t wearing her own design because she doesn’t make formalwear — yet.) “It’s okay. Whatever,” she said, rather blithely. “I don’t really care. Like, if people want to step on it, they can step on it. It’s not going to fall off. I’m fine.” Sarah Jessica Parker, who wore a stunning McQueen gown personally picked for her by Sarah Burton, took an equally relaxed view. “With all that’s going on in the world, if I can’t manage my train, I shouldn’t even be called human,” she said, “This is one of those burdens I can’t complain about. Just lean over and pick up the train. Pick it up! You can’t be modest; there’s no delicate way to do it.” And Iman, there to receive the CFDA’s Fashion Icon award, decided it simply wasn’t her job to be in charge of the trail of black feathers at the bottom of her Giambattista Valli gown. “I am the icon,” she said. “They can walk around.” Iman’s efforts to embody her icon status were among the most delightful moments of the evening. In her speech, she thanked her mom and dad for giving her “a neck longer than any other girl on any go-see anywhere in the world,” and thanked everyone present “for the right to finally say to my husband, ‘You’re not the only icon in the house.’” Afterward, she told us that David Bowie has started calling her “icon” and exits every room she’s in backwards, bowing and repeating, “Icon, Icon, Icon.” Other great backstage moments included Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Michael Kors and Womenswear Designer of the Year Marc Jacobs embracing and saying to each other, “We have been around! Honey, have we been around!” Moments later, Kors explained: "Listen, I remember shows we did where he had a boom box and a tape and I was, like, painting earrings. We’ve known each other a long, long time. I was at Marc’s graduation show for Parsons!” Also extremely hug-prone were Donna Karan and International Award Winner Christopher Bailey, who Karan had discovered fifteen years earlier by chance while visiting his art school in England. Bailey explained that they were practically in love the moment they met. “I remember it so vividly,” he said. “She wanted to try on everything I’d made. We stayed at school until the door had been locked and the college had to come up and say, ‘Guys, you’re going to have to leave now.’ And she took a picture of me and said, ‘Call me. I’d love for you to work for me.’ I’d never been to New York; I’d never even been to America. So Donna is the one who bought me my first plane ticket to America.” At that moment, Karan came up and wrapped her arms around Bailey’s shoulders. “I think he should come back to work for me and we can discuss him. I’m going to ask him. Watch out! Have you had enough of London, honey? New York is waiting for you. I’m waiting for you.” As soon as the awards were parceled out, Iman and David Bowie headed off to a mysterious dinner location to celebrate their eighteenth anniversary, just the two of them. But for everyone else, it was time to drink. Michael Kors declared he wanted anything but red wine: “I wear black; I drink white.” Normally quiet Jason Wu was also ready to throw down. “Shots! After-party!” he said, hoisting his Swarovski Award for Womenswear. “I always like tequila. That’s classic and it’s low-calorie, because you’re not doing any of the sugary mixers. Straight up — that’s the trick. With a little lime.” There was further revelry to be had at the Top of the Standard, though we were too exhausted to check it out. As we switched into flats and headed toward the subway, we spotted both wives of rag & bone designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright (winners of the Menswear Designer of the Year award) walking barefoot down the middle of 65th Street, their husbands holding the silver statue in one hand and a pair of high heels in the other — a beautiful, messy image of the joys and pitfalls of fashion that'll hold us over till next year.

Source: FOXNews.com | 8 Jun 2010 | 3:37 pm Maybe the Times Shouldn’t Have Made a List of All the Words They Use That People Don’t Understand Fifty more excuses for this one not to read the Times. In a funny little blog post, Philip Corbett went through the words that are most frequently clicked upon by users of nytimes.com in order to display their definitions. The top 50 include a handful of words that were used to refer to specific foreign items or concepts, like "Manichean" and "renminbi." But the vast majority of them are 50 cent words that, put together in one, make you wonder how dedicated the paper can be to getting information across clearly and succinctly to a wide variety of audiences. The list is basically a helpful handout to anyone who wants to accuse the Times of only serving overeducated, elitist types (and a private back-patting tool for exactly those people: "Ha! Imagine not knowing what a mirabile dictu is!"). Is it really surprising to the editors that over 400 people clicked to find the definition of "inchoate" each of the twenty times they've used it in the last six months? Maybe it's time to retire the term. And even we had to look up the word "jejune," which was used twice, once in a television review about fantasy baseball.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 8 Jun 2010 | 3:30 pm Model Scouts Find More Than Half of Brazil’s Hotties in a Tiny Region Containing Its Whitest Population Gisele Model scouts in Brazil are looking for the next Gisele Bündchen. They have figured out that the genes of girls who look like a model in the way she does — with light skin, light hair, and tall, naturally thin figures — come from German and Italian ancestry and may also have a dash of Slavic blood. While more than half of Brazil's population isn't white, more than half of Brazil's models are scouted in a southern rural region comprising about one-twentieth of the nation's population. Gisele and Alessandra Ambrosio, who were discovered at 13 and 12 respectively, come from these parts. The region is proud of its reputation for hotness. But Brazil as a whole — more than half of which is black — is also proud of its hotness. Frustrations have emerged over the world not recognizing all of Brazil's skin tones as beautiful. While Brazilians embrace beauties with darker skin, the fashion industry in the rest of the world gravitates toward paler Brazilian models. “I was always perplexed that Brazil was never able to export a Naomi Campbell, and it is definitely not because of a lack of pretty women,” said Erika Palomino, a fashion consultant in São Paulo. “It is embarrassing.”

Source: Daily Intel | 8 Jun 2010 | 2:45 pm A Breakdown of Lady Gaga’s ‘Alejandro’ Looks Steven Klein directed Lady Gaga's new music video "Alejandro," and as the previews suggested, it kind of reeks of Madonna. But so what? Old Madonna videos were amazing and hugely popular, so she may as well draw inspiration from them. And Klein was instrumental in crafting Madonna's image, so that aesthetic is bound to carry over to Gaga. This video wasn't as intense, attire-wise, as "Telephone" or "Bad Romance," but it had plenty of fun if not shocking fashion, like her gun bra and bowl haircut. But the best part about Gaga videos is that while the music on its own makes you think of 13-year-old girls putting stickers on their Trapper Keepers, the video brings you somewhere else entirely.

Source: The Cut | 8 Jun 2010 | 2:25 pm A Semi-Serious Post: You All Know Sarah Palin Didn’t Get Breast Implants, Right?One of the things that I absolutely hate but is also my favorite is when Sarah Palin complains about media bias. Now, I’m not going to get into whether or not or in what way “the media” is biased while writing on the Best Week Ever blog. Nobody wants that. But what I will say is that the media is certainly not biased in the way that Sarah Palin thinks it is… for the most part. She thinks journalists asking questions to which she has no intelligent answer is bias. It is not. BUT. When stuff like this happens, it allows her to complain about media bias in a way that is at least slightly legitimate. From Wonkette:
This story has been making the viral rounds. It’s on Buzzfeed and I’ve seen it on at least three other sites over the course of the day. Come on, guys. Let’s not do this. Whether or not the unflattering things written about her are true, she’s still going to cry foul. But let’s not start circulating things that are so obviously untrue that we give her genuine fodder for her “lamestream media” ranting. Do her breasts (and, yes, I feel creepy typing the word “breasts”) look bigger in the picture on the right than they do on the left? Yes, they do. Does that mean she got implants? No, obviously not. I’m no breast expert, but one of the few things I know about them is that sometimes they look bigger than they do at other times. That’s how you end up sleeping with your friends. There was no brand new chemistry the two of you felt that night at the bar; the female one of you just wore a halter top. That’s how that works. In conclusion, Sarah Palin did not get breast implants. She and I, however, are now seeing each other. We request privacy and hope the liberals will stop spreading baseless rumors about cosmetic surgery.

The pink lace dress was encrusted with 1,000 crystals from Swarovski, the same classy company that sponsors the CFDA awards and tons of other posh fashion events. It's unclear whether the crystals were necessary to add heft to the fabric, which miraculously contained her breasts by forcing them skyward toward her chin in a feat of physics instead of allowing them to split her frock in two down to her navel. She says Filthy Couture is "sexy gothic" and will bow in July. It includes jeans, tees, and bathing suits in addition to dresses. JWOWW told People StyleWatch: “I keep it sexy classy.

Ce Ce Chin is best known for her shoe label, 80%20, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a party at Lower East Side bar Panda tonight. But the Chinatown-based footwear designer was immersed in leather and hardware long before she launched her own line. The Michigan native got her start as a handbag designer for Michael Kors, then Calvin Klein. She broke off from the label in 2005 to focus on footwear, initially inspired by the graphic styles of sneakerheads she dated. "I wasn’t going to wear dunks, but I didn’t wear a lot of heels either," she says. "I wanted something fun and casual that would give me a little height, but that was still girly." The pursuit led to her first collection featuring the line’s signature hidden wedge. Chin aims to make funky, distinctive shoes sans the sky-high heels: chunky ankle boots, perforated sandals, printed canvas lace-ups, and cork wedges. "Shoes are the punctuation point in fashion," she says. "They make the final statement." This spring, she launched a new, eponymous line of faceted heels (available at Tani) and is scouting locations for a combination store, showroom, and design house in the Lower East Side or Nolita, set to open next April. We chatted with the designer about her favorite vintage finds, the crime that is men wearing harem pants, and channeling Chanel. What’s the story behind the name 80%20?

Then the Les Grossman character re-appeared for the MTV Movie Awards — “character”, meaning, Tom Cruise in a baldcap swearing at people a lot — and the videos were still mostly amusing, because he was swearing at tween idols Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, and we’re all jealous of them for stealing tween crushes away from us hard-working bloggers. Now, there’s officially talk on the ‘net about Tom Cruise spinning the Les Grossman character into his own feature film, presumably in an attempt to squelch out whatever remaining interest people have in seeing Tom Cruise swear at people in a baldcap by having it occur for two hours instead of two minutes. I realize that the film doesn’t exist right now beyond a couple offhand comments and speculation, but before that ball(d cap) gets rolling too far down the Hollywood hill, we have to ask the question: Does anyone actually want a Les Grossman movie? While we’re in the habit of spinning cameos into feature-length films, here’s some other films Hollywood should consider:
Hrm. As sometimes occurs, I started this list as a joke, and looking back, I’d probably watch all five of those films. The titles might have to be longer, but otherwise, I’m on board. Well, best of luck to you, Tom Cruise, on your future bald swearing endeavors.
