Source: Yahoo! News: Entertainment News | 1 Jul 2010 | 12:23 am Industry Roundup: Sean Penn To Hang Ten, Heather Graham's A Wacky Aunt What's Up, Doc: Sean Penn is in negotiations to produce - and potentially star - in a film based on surfing legend Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz. Paskowitz, who is now 89, achieved “cult hero” status for ditching his successful medical practice and heading out on the road in a camper with his wife and nine children, eventually founding the first surf camp in the continental U.S. Promisingly for this project, things worked out pretty well the last time Penn played a surfer dude. [Variety] Aunt Heather: Heather Graham has joined the family film Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, based on the children’s book about the adventures of a third-grader. Graham will play “zany” Aunt Opal, a “globe-trotting, somewhat nutty personality” who babysits Judy and her brother (charmingly named Stink) for the summer. Hopefully the kids won't inadvertently flip to The Hangover on TV. [Variety] Three More For Scream: Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Erik Knudsen have joined the cast of Scream 4, which is bringing back original cast members Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox while incorporating newcomers Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin and Nico Tortorella. Brody will play a cop recently graduated from college, Shelton will play a deputy who knew Campbell’s character in high school, and Knudsen will play a character “familiar with horror movie conventions” who provides comic relief - the Hurley of the movie, if you will. [Heat Vision/HR] Reimagining: Brian Wilson’s album of completed tracks left behind unfinished by George Gershwin - called, straight-forwardly, Brian Wilson Reimagines George Gershwin - will be released August 17. The record includes two songs Wilson “built” from Gershwin’s unfinished music, while the rest of the album is filled with the Beach Boy’s take on classic Gershwin compositions. “This is the most spiritual project I’ve ever worked on,” Wilson said. [Pitchfork] Maving Waves: Cali punk band Wavves will be spending the next two months touring Europe and North America supporting their album King of the Beach, out August 3. They’ll start in Europe, playing in Cologne, Germany on July 15, with things wrapping up August 31 in Visalia, California. The album's out on iTunes Thursday, by the way, essentially rendering that August 3 date meaningless.

In addition to keeping up his twitter and hosting some specials for CNN, King has recently closed a deal to become a financial partner in The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company, a Florida-based company that, bizarrely, claims to have developed a “water treatment technology” that creates water identical to that found in Brooklyn, allowing them to produce bagels that supposedly taste like they were made in the borough.

Source: Vulture | 30 Jun 2010 | 9:06 pm Jerry Saltz’s Work of Art Recap: Awkward I did a fair amount of cringing before, during, and after this week’s episode. As I watched myself in a drab shirt and no sports coat, spotting flab, I thought, This reality-TV show is making me look fat. My discomfort bubbled up again when I heard that this week’s artist challenge was to “create a piece of shock art.” The challenge was fine, but this kind of art is usually ingratiating, desperate, simplistic, silly, exploitative, needy, or all the above. Not to mention often filled with blood, guts, sex, and semen. And sure enough, Nao and Ryan worked in pretty much all of these things. For real shock, one should go to Goya, an all-white painting by Robert Ryman, a pale grid by Agnes Martin, or an eight-hour Andy Warhol film of someone sleeping. I also squirmed when I heard photographer Andreas Serrano would be the guest judge. Well-known for his vivid, large-scale pictures of Ku Klux Klansmen, people having sex, and dead babies (plus blood, guts, and semen), Serrano helped ignite the culture wars in the eighties with Piss Christ, an image of a plastic crucifix submerged in urine. More shocking to me than seeing Piss Christ at the beginning of the show was seeing that Abdi apparently had no idea what Piss Christ was — or who Serrano was, either. This is inexcusable for someone who graduated art school. But the real reason I squirmed was because I once wrote that Serrano’s color pictures of excrement were “crap.” Read more posts by Jerry Saltz Filed Under: overnights, recaps, tv, work of art

Source: Vulture | 30 Jun 2010 | 4:00 pm Wondrously, Indians Do Not Find Joel Stein’s Droll Humor About Their Poverty, Cologne to Be Charming For his (still getting published!) humor column in Time this week, pop-culture pundit Joel Stein intended to take a nostalgic walk down memory lane to his former hometown of Menlo Park (now Edison), New Jersey, which has witnessed a boom in its local Indian population since his childhood. Unfortunately, Indian readers did not find it so nostalgic, particularly parts like this: For a while, we assumed all Indians were geniuses. Then, in the 1980s, the doctors and engineers brought over their merchant cousins, and we were no longer so sure about the genius thing. In the 1990s, the not-as-brilliant merchants brought their even-less-bright cousins, and we started to understand why India is so damn poor.

Source: Daily Intel | 30 Jun 2010 | 3:50 pm Here’s Why We’re Totally Okay With Starz Canceling Party Down
Today, a very vocal minority slice of the Internet is bemoaning the decision that the Starz network made to cancel their beloved show about the Hollywood catering circuit called Party Down. The show went from being all but ignored during its first (brilliant) season to becoming a critical darling during its second (quite excellent) slate, but thanks to a combination of mass viewer disinterest (the show’s finale scored a dismal 0.0 Nielsen rating with adults 18-49) and poor succession planning on the network’s behalf, last Friday’s second season closer ended up being the series finale. And you know what? I’m totally okay with that!
Don’t mistake my lack of tears (tearz?) over Starz president Chris Albrecht’s decision to axe the show for a lack of passion for Party Down. Quite the opposite, in fact: I strongly believe that it deserves to be included in any conversation about the best half-hour television comedies of this century and, once we all have the benefit of a few years of hindsight, I would argue that it will end up with a fate similar to the film Wet Hot American Summer, a project that also failed to strike a chord with audiences during its initial run but eventually found itself a slavishly devoted cult audience thanks to the power of good, old fashioned word-of-mouth (and not any of this viral, social marketing tomfoolery). Additionally, I am going to miss the red hot and entirely natural romantic chemistry between leads Adam Scott and Lizzy Caplan ferociously. That said, the writing was Sharpie’d on the wall about this show’s fate months ago. After losing Jane Lynch to Glee near the end of the show’s first season, Starz made the boneheaded financial decision to sit idly by as two of show’s core stable of actors were poached by the Peacock Network: Adam Scott joined Parks And Recreation and Ryan Hansen is set to star in Friends With Benefits. The show would’ve been able to effectively soldier on without Hansen, but Scott was an integral element to the show’s success. He was the program’s audience surrogate, the character whose stability provided the emotional stability that allowed the comedy — both of the lovably goofy AND dark, painfully awkward varieties — that occurred around him to flourish. In short, without him, there isn’t really a show. Think of it this way. Imagine Starz had turned a blind eye to the show’s anemic ratings (really, we have to mention that 0.0 rating again!) and given a third season a greenlight anyway. The show would’ve had to find a brand new protagonist, one whose comedic sensibilities meshed with the rest of the ensemble cast AND who was capable of being a romantic lead (because, face it, there’s no way that person could’ve been Ron or Roman). The show’s creators were able to seamlessly transition from Jane Lynch to Megan Mullally because both actresses served as support characters, but the show’s momentum would’ve been set back to square one if they had to find a new Henry. And don’t say that could’ve been Lizzy Caplan/Casey, because that would’ve required a complete overhaul of her character’s creative constitution. Allow me to make this analogy, SAT style: Translation: Cheers was able to survive the loss of Diane, but if they had ever lost Sam, there wouldn’t have been a show. In a similar vein, I would argue that Party Down could’ve survived the loss of Casey*, but the loss of Henry was impossible for the show to overcome. As soon as Adam Scott agreed to join the exceptionally talented cast of characters on Parks And Rec, this show’s fate was sealed. So while we’ll certainly shed a tear or two tonight that we’ll never get another new episode of Party Down, we’re content with the knowledge that 20 near-perfect episodes of this show will always exist. Chris Albrecht will no doubt catch some heat from Internet ruffians for canceling the show, but if you put aside the fiscal blunder he and the network made earlier this spring, it’s near impossible to make the case that Albrecht made the wrong creative decision today (except, that is, if you’re Martin Starr). R.I.P. Party Down (2009-2010) *That’s not to say that Lizzy Caplan was anything other than great, mind you!

Source: The Cut | 30 Jun 2010 | 3:45 pm Cathy Horyn Calls the Spring 2011 Men’s Shows Wimpy Yves St. Laurent. Fashion critics seemed to have had a ball calling out the silly in the spring 2011 men's shows, but in reflecting on all of it, Times critic Cathy Horyn is disappointed. All those ridiculous looks we compiled yesterday? She calls them wimpy. But men are having a hard time, as Hanna Rosin observed in an article in the current issue of The Atlantic, its tag line, “How women are taking control — of everything.” Men are wimping out, in the example of Judd Apatow’s chronic adolescent characters, or being mowed down by Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.
You sensed a little of this problem at the shows, and it was not a pretty sight. Stefano Pilati, the Saint Laurent designer, reverted to a drowsy Paul Bowles sexuality, with delicate young men in even more delicate-looking knits and high-waist shorts that rippled over skinny legs. If you saw a guy with a little fez tipped over his brow, what would you think? How fast can he set up my chair by the pool?

Source: The Cut | 30 Jun 2010 | 3:35 pm Hubby Taylor Hackford Loves Helen Mirren’s Nude Pics, Encourages Her Onscreen Make-Outs Don't worry: Taylor Hackford is a fan of Juergen Teller’s “artfully done” photos of his wife, Helen Mirren, in the current issue of New York. “I thought they were fantastic,” he told us last night at a VIP screening of his new film, Love Ranch, in which he directs his wife and Joe Pesci as unfaithfully married brothel owners. ”She told me she did a photo session, and of course I didn’t know what to expect. But, you know, that’s my wife. She’s bold and beautiful!” Hackford wasn’t exactly surprised to see the spread. "When I first first saw her on film, it was a film called Savage Messiah, where she appears in the altogether," a.k.a completely nude, he explained. Mirren told us she was “proud” of the sultry photo shoot but joked about it landing her in the “doghouse” — or perhaps, more accurately, all over the Internet. “It was my first experience of a non-paparazzi-type shot going viral. And you suddenly realize … there are no boundaries anymore.” Dame Helen bares less of her body in Love Ranch, in which she plays a madam who gets her groove back through an affair with a fiery Argentine boxer, played by Spanish actor Sergio Peris-Mencheta. When it came time to direct the more passionate scenes, Hackford said he urged Peris-Mencheta to really “go for it” with his wife — prompting some inner conflict for the newcomer. “’I was, ‘what the fuck?’ In Spain, you really kiss,” he told us. “Here, with Helen Mirren and Taylor behind the camera, I had to decide between being polite and shy or being rude and Latin.” For the record, he went with the latter, saying: “It worked."

Source: Daily Intel | 30 Jun 2010 | 3:16 pm Louie Premieres On FX, Instantly Justifies Season Pass
Louis C.K.’s new show Louie premiered on FX last night with back-to-back half-hour episodes, and after a tense 60 minutes of doing my usual “really want to like this” versus “I hope I don’t just pretend to like this because I love Louis C.K. and want to enjoy anything he does” tension, I can happily say that the show more than earned itself a Season Pass from the get-go. My reviewy-type thoughts on the Louie premiere, after the jump: Louis C.K.’s prior attempt at a personal tv show, HBO’s Lucky Louie, failed the aforementioned test; as much as I wanted to like it, and it certainly did have its legit moments (and veteran character-actor Mike Hagerty was awesome), the three-camera sitcom format really put a lot of pressure on the actors, and the show just never felt comfortable. The discrepancy between the wacky stock-sitcom format and the mature, brutally honest subject matter sounded in theory like it could’ve been an interesting new spin on the tired genre, but it ended up just being a weird thing to watch, especially when one of the world’s funniest humans was constantly present. FX’s Louie retains the strongest aspect of Lucky Louie — Louie CK’s brutal, self-deprecating and life-deprecating honesty — but ditches the sitcom template for a much more stylized look, making for a show that’s a lot more visually interesting than Lucky Louie and a lot more creative/absurd (including an homage to Louie’s ice cream video), while also not forcing the cast of veteran comedians too far out of their element by dropping them into a sitcom world. Nearly half the show consists of filmed Louis C.K. standup bits, which are unsurprisingly awesome; I suppose a devil’s advocate could argue “why do a tv show if half of it’s just gonna be standup anyway,” but anything that results in more Louis C.K. standup occurring and being seen by me is a plus in the universe, so who cares? The Louie double-premiere was super-watchable, Extras-level awkward, impressively vulgar, and just generally felt a lot more like an actual Louis C.K. vehicle than Lucky Louie ever did. Given FX’s recent successful history with niche shows in this increasingly DVR/Netflix/iTunes-ey tv landscape, I think Louie is gonna be fine. Collective exhale, fans of good things. Anyone watch the Louie premiere? Like/Dislike? Season Pass recs? Leave ‘em in the comments.

In addition to telling the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission today that he didn't even want his $300 million bonus but AIG forced him to take it because he was so awesome, that he truly believed what he said in 2007 about "not losing a dollar" on credit default swaps, and generally acting as though the multi-billion-dollar bailout of the insurer was not even nearly his fault, former Financial Products head Joe Cassano hit the commission where it hurts: Cassano told commissioners that he wished he had stayed on beyond his retirement in March 2008, when A.I.G.’s then chief executive asked him to leave. He said if he had been A.I.G.’s “chief negotiator” when banks asked for more collateral, he would have extracted concessions from the banks and greatly reduced the amount of taxpayer money the insurer needed...“I would have gone to the counterparties, and I think even then I would have been able to negotiate substantial discounts by using the rights available to us such that the taxpayer would not have had to accelerate the $40 billion to the counterparties,” Mr. Cassano said.
