Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 9 Jul 2010 | 5:02 pm See Why Last Night’s So You Think You Can Dance Became So You Think You Can Cry So You Think You Can Dance might as well have been renamed the Trail of Tears last night when overwhelming favorite Alex Wong abruptly left the show after suffering a lacerated Achilles tendon. "Which means it has detached itself from the bone,” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe explained as the faces of everyone in the theater — Alex, the judges, the other contestants, the audience, and, assumably, the cameramen, gaffers, and mice who live in the walls of the theater — glistened with tears. (Amazonian host Cat Deeley, strangely, did not, but she could be chipper through anything.) Wong is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, and then has to be on three months of rest, with an 80 percent chance of coming back to full form, otherwise known as a 20 percent chance he won’t dance again. Wong’s fate seems particularly cruel, considering how much he had to sacrifice to get on the show. He tried out last season and was picked, but his boss wouldn’t let him out of his contract with the Miami City Ballet. (That the boss stifling his dream was pioneering ballet legend Edward Villella seems particularly ironic.) This season, Wong had to go through the grueling audition process all over again; he even left the MCB hoping he'd make the cut, with no guarantee he'd be able to get his job back if he didn't. When he finally did get chosen, he was extraordinary. Judge Mia Michaels declared his contemporary routine on night one, "the best piece of work danced on the So You Think You Can Dance stage up-to-date." Upon seeing Alex’s hip-hop routine the week before the accident, Nigel declared it would win an Emmy. And now, one month into the competition, it abruptly ended. “How do you feel?” Cat asked him. "My heart hurts a lot," Alex replied, as everyone in the room burst into tears once again. Watch it below, assuming you want to kick off your weekend with a good cry. (We’ve put his two standout dances below that … which might actually just make you feel worse, come to think of it.) Here's his Sonya Tayeh contemporary routine about salvation on night one: And here’s his Tabitha and Napoleon hip-hop routine with Twitch during the top nine performances.

Source: The Cut | 9 Jul 2010 | 4:10 pm Breaking News: Critics Like Movies Again! Suddenly, after seven summer-movie weeks of disses, slams, backhanded compliments, and artful undermining, the nation's film critics suddenly like movies not made by Pixar again: Christopher Nolan's Inception and Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right are receiving ecstatic, nearly across-the-board raves that are thrilling producers and buoying each film's Oscar hopes. Variety raved that Nolan has filmed "a heist thriller for surrealists," while at least three critics have compared Nolan to Stanley Kubrick. Now The Kids Are All Right, which opened today, is sitting on a Metacritic rating of 85 (which would be way higher if it weren't for eternally bemused quipster-outlier Anthony Lane. Our critic David Edelstein loved it; it's being called perhaps the best comedy about a family ever made by A.O. Scott at the New York Times; Andrew O'Hehir at Salon named it one of the "most compelling portraits of an American marriage, regardless of sexuality, in film history"; and it's even picking up TV-ready shout-outs from blurbmasters like Peter Travers ("Kids makes its own special magic!"). The raves are coming so fast and furious and poster-ready that Focus may have to issue Twilight-style single-character posters just to have room for them all. It's all very exciting, but you do get the sense that the plaudit-plumping film-festival effect may also be at play: Maybe critics have been enduring so many pathetic (The Last Airbender), awful (The A-Team), irritating (Grown Ups), and repetitive (Shrek Forever After) movies, back to back, week after week, that they have been flabbergasted to see something decent. Is this like that moment on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? when the audience thinks: Gee, that middle-aged guy sure knows his state capitals! Or are these new kids really so much more than all right? Another film for grown-ups getting serious advanced hype is David Fincher's The Social Network, thanks to its newly announced pole position at the New York Film Festival. But that film opens on October 1, when it won't be surrounded by films with characters named B.A. Baracus or based on Nicktoons shows. Will critics be as rapturous in a season when they're also seeing new dramas by the Coen Bros., Terrence Malick, Julian Schnabel, Anton Corbijn, Stephen Frears, and Mike Leigh? Maybe that would be a good time to come out with The A-Team 2. Read more posts by Logan Hill Filed Under: movies, critics, inception, the kids are all right

Source: FOXNews.com | 9 Jul 2010 | 3:54 pm Taliban’s Terrifying Army of Monkey Terrorists Effectively Ends War According to a report from a Chinese news site, the Taliban has been training monkey soldiers to fight American troops in Afghanistan. The source for this claim seems to be an unnamed "British-based media agency" and some photos on the Internet of monkeys holding guns. In other words, it is definitely true. And terrifying. Monkeys are dangerous enough as it is. They will literally tear your face off or rip their "steel-like fingernails" through your scrotum without provocation. Giving them guns and military training just makes them exponentially more lethal. Afghani monkeys in particular are especially scary — they are very hungry and will kill without hesitation for a banana. No invader has ever conquered Afghanistan, and now we know why. The monkeys will not allow it. It was a good effort, but it's time to pack it in. This is no longer a fight we can win.

Source: Daily Intel | 9 Jul 2010 | 2:59 pm Bald Models With Molting Beards Hit the Runway in Berlin The problem with showing a collection on professional male and female models made up to look yellow in the face and bald with thin scraps of facial hair is that it detracts completely from the clothes. Who cares what a chick's boxer shorts look like when she is topless and molting a beard, like a long-lost would-be Coneheads character, if only she had the full cone? But this is what designer Patrick Mohr's hair and makeup looked like in his show at Berlin Fashion Week today. The images are startling and disturbing, but the show may have gotten the most attention of any at this Berlin Fashion Week. The event isn't as big as Paris, Milan, New York, or even London Fashion Weeks, but designers are known to take more risks, The Wall Street Journal notes. Mohr's show is just one example of that, along with further proof that unkempt beards are happening. Or maybe this is a comment on some sort of hot new German reverse hormone therapy!

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 9 Jul 2010 | 2:48 pm The Pentagon Wants to Know What Dudes Do When There Are Gays in the Shower Room See, the Italian soccer team has no problem with this situation! This is a real question from the semi-controversial Pentagon questionnaire sent out to 400,000 non-deployed active troops asking them their opinions on gay servicemen and -women:
We have some follow-up questions. Including: WHAT IS "SOMETHING ELSE"? Can we not get a little more detail in our options here? "Something else" could mean anything from "Beat the crap out of the homo" to "Decide to co-star in the hottest impromptu gay-porn scene this side of Kabul." (Thankfully, on the form, there is a fill-in-the-blank section after "Something Else.") And also, seriously? Can't they just ask any straight dude who works out at any high-end gym in America what to do in this situation? Rim shot! Not to deride the Pentagon's dutiful research — they are clearly doing their due diligence on the issue, and they have every right to do it, even if gay advocates Servicemembers United call the wording "biased" and "derogatory." Military brass obviously has its reasons for asking about issues that may seem random to outsiders, like how a soldier's family would view the military after a don't ask, don't tell repeal, or whether a soldier attends social functions alone or with a spouse. But it's hard to miss Servicemembers United's larger fear that questions like these are not nearly so aimed at a definite repeal as it seems like they should be, given the White House's repeated promises to end the policy. It's all about how servicemen and -women would feel and react in various scenarios. (As Jake Tapper points out, there are a bunch of "ifs" involved.) Basically, it sounds like a lot of asking permission — which comes across as strange, asking privates and petty officers what they think of a decision that has allegedly already been made by the commander-in-chief and top generals. Is it not possible, for example, to just tell people what to do in the shower if there is a gay person present?

Source: Daily Intel | 9 Jul 2010 | 2:30 pm Mike Darnell, Reality-TV Legend, Re-ups With Fox Fox is facing all sorts of reality-show headaches these days: replacing Simon Cowell on American Idol, batting down rumors about Paula Abdul joining Cowell on The X Factor, trying to get across what’s different about their umpteenth Gordon Ramsay cooking competition (Master Chef, which debuts July 27). But the network has avoided what might have been a massive migraine: Vulture has learned (and a Fox rep confirms) that Mike Darnell, the network's longtime mastermind behind everything from Alien Autopsy to American Idol, has signed a new three-year deal to remain as president of alternative programming for the network. Darnell, a former child actor who's been called the dark prince of reality TV (he brought us Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire and Temptation Island), has been in charge of Fox reality since 1996; he's mellowed somewhat in recent years, focusing on such advertiser-friendly feel-good fare as Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.

Source: Vulture | 9 Jul 2010 | 2:15 pm Man Explains Why He Would Like to Punch Jamie Dimon in the Balls We have our own issues with the CEO of JPMorgan Chase today, after we requested a list of his favorite power ballads — in light of the reading list he recently distributed to interns — and were told no because JD is such a music lover, "it would be hard to put a list of favorites together." (This is obviously unacceptable, if the man can get his head around a collateralized-debt obligation, he can make a choice between "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Here I Go Again," though it is an equally difficult endeavor.) But our disgruntlement pales in comparison to the anger felt by Sean Michael Carey, the Texan who started the Facebook Page Punch Jamie Dimon (CEO of JPMorgan Chase) in the Balls. We talked to Carey and found out why he's so pissed. It's a familiar story. As it happens, Carey, 33, is a former employee of Chase — he worked in loan origination for the company back in 1999 — but this doesn't have anything to do with that, he says. Working at Chase was "great," he said. "I loved them." But being a customer, he has found, is a different story. Recently, Carey and his wife moved to Frisco, Texas, where they opened a second bank account in addition to the one they had at Washington Mutual, now owned by Chase. Carey began having the paychecks from his retail job auto-deposited into the new account, but a number of their automated payments, "our car payment, our car insurance, my credit card" were still coming out of the Chase account, so until they got organized — the Careys also have a new baby — and switched them, he decided to write checks to the old account from the new account to cover the payments. However: "There was a mix-up with my direct deposit," he says. "I'd checked the wrong box when I signed up, and it was going into my savings, not into my checking." Two of the checks bounced. "It was my fault," Sean admitted. "So I paid the fees and all that. I moved the money over to my checking account, and I deposited a new check into the Chase account." Chase put a hold on the new check, which Carey said he found reasonable, given the ones he'd bounced. "Then they sent me a letter saying, any overdrafts that are going to occur, we'll reimburse you. But then they didn't. They paid the bills, but they charged me overdraft fees on all of them." Plus, the check seemed to be taking forever to clear, even though the money was gone from his other account. Eventually, he went into the branch and deposited the last $132 in cash, to cover the last of his bills, so he wouldn't get an overdraft fee. It was only after that, Carey said, that he was informed the bank had actually frozen his account and was investigating him for check fraud. "I get a letter that says if it comes back that I haven't committed fraud, they would mail me a check in ten to fifteen days." Carey was pissed: JPMorgan had hijacked all of his cash, and he had no recourse. "I've spent, in the last week, about nine hours on hold with customer service," he said. "It's so not like that when you're an employee. You get right through." Frustrated, he turned to Facebook: "I wanted to punch someone. Not one of the customer-service people, it was like, I wanted Chase Manhattan personified. When I got home, I thought: The CEO, that’s who I want to punch," he said. On the Facebook Page, there's a picture of Dimon with the words:
"Today it's probably more like $180," says Carey. "They didn't pay my credit card bill, even though my account is frozen, they can still charge me an overdraft fee on that." Overall, though, he says the page is a joke — a way to reach out to "other people who have had this experience," and that he doesn't actually wish violence upon the CEO, "or his family, or anything like that ... I'd settle for someone chucking a water balloon at him."

Source: Daily Intel | 9 Jul 2010 | 2:10 pm Find Colorful, Small-Batch Clothing at Ale et Ange Ale et Ange co-designers Osore Oyagha and Eloise Simonet first set up shop in March of last year, building a mock London apartment beneath a basement-level hatch on Orchard Street. This month, the pair moved aboveground, relocating to a small, record- and book-strewn shop on Rivington. Though the yellow-hued space is sunnier, the design aesthetic remains the same: contemporary casual menswear and womenswear made in New York in small batches. The pair hunt for fabrics throughout the city — from splashy floral silks to pastel cottons to dapper plaids — letting the quantity of each material dictate the number of items they make (usually between 2 and 50). The store fosters an international slant, partly as result of the designers' roots: Oyagha hails from West London; Simonet, from France. Posters from Cuba deck the walls, Iranian rugs cover the floor, and the selection of apothecary products and soaps is shipped from Portugal and Sweden. The clothing ranges from the colorful and casual — brightly patterned unisex tees and gauzy silk scarves — to dressier options, like men's linen-silk-blend trousers and a contrasting array of handmade ties. Click ahead for a look at some of our favorite items in the store. Ale et Ange, 40 Rivington St., nr. Forsyth St. (212-228-9865); daily (noon–8).

Source: Vulture | 9 Jul 2010 | 1:55 pm Why the Dowdy Teens From Hung Trump the Plastics From Gossip Girl Hung is not a realistic show: It's about Ray, a well-endowed teacher-coach in Detroit (Thomas Jane), who burns down his house, needs some cash, and meets a meek failed poet in his night-school class, who, after sleeping with him, decides to become his pimp. It's unbelievable from the micro level to the macro: Who in Detroit has disposable income for male prostitutes? However, there is one facet of the show that is blindingly realistic: Ray's teenage twins, Damon (Charlie Saxton) and Darby (Sianoa Smit-McPhee), who look nothing like Ray or his ex-wife, played by Anne Heche. In fact, they look and act nothing like any teenagers you'll see on TV. The doughy-lipped Saxton gives Damon, a semi-Goth, an endearing, concentrated stare, while Smit-McPhee's medium build in a television landscape of Gossip Girls is unheard of. Damon and Darby are insecure and full of teen frustration, though uncommunicative and huffy with their parents. When they do speak to their mom, it's in one- or two-sentence huffs, with none of the witticisms you'll find in the Josh Schwartz universe of teens who speak in full paragraphs and sound like they're 30-year-old writers. The presence of these two characters, whose looks and lines feel ripped right out of the halls of your high school, brings Hung back down to earth, and is what makes the show worth watching. Damon and Darby are neither perfect (Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Everwood) nor aggressively weird (Californication). They're just normal. "I've seen a lot of the same version of sullenness on television, a certain passive-aggressive, sardonic, witty sullenness," says Collette Burson, a co-creator of Hung along with her husband, Dimitry Lipkin. "I wasn't interested in that. I was really interested in basing them on teenagers I knew. For example, my best friend in high school: She had this way of being like a rock. She was passive, but not passive aggressive. Damon and Darby are not critical, they're not biting, they're not witty. They're just sort of present and calm." After they created the characters, Burson and Lipkin were faced with the challenge of finding the right actors to embody them. "During auditions, we were sent a lot of 28-year-old models to play teenagers, and we had to look long and hard for them, particularly Sianoa," says Burson. "She's so beautiful, but not in a traditional Hollywood way. And these kids are both really 17, which is why it took so long to find them." Lipkin adds, "We never said we needed an overweight girl; we never had any preconceptions about what they'd look like. We just wanted them to be very real." Inevitably, Hung has been criticized for its unconventional casting. As much as people may say they want diversity on television, as soon as it actually pops up, there's bound to be a some bad reactions. On message boards, posters cruelly call the kids "fat and ugly" and "trollish". Burson says they can go to hell. "I do feel like we take flack, like with this idea that they're not traditionally attractive. And I feel like that's so ridiculous. Because, first of all, look carefully at Sianoa. She's fucking beautiful. I'll put her up against any plasticized, blonde Barbie model any day of the week. When did that become the idea of perfection?"

Also, everyone is really excited about this midterm election coming up. Seventy-six percent of those polled said they would definitely vote this November, and 16 percent said they probably would. So that would be a turnout rate in the nineties. Voter turnout for midterm elections typically hovers around the high thirties and low forties.

The dislodging of the cap will mean that oil will gush out nearly unimpeded — but within three days, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen says BP should be able to fit a new, more effective cap onto the sliced pipe. For those three days, anywhere between an estimated 25,000 and 50,000 barrels could be set loose into the sea each 24-hour period. However, the new cap is seen to be a much preferable solution for the long term.

Sources tell Best Week Ever exclusively that LeBron James, the King of Vitamin Water, met up with Lindsay Lohan, the Queen of Coke, mere moments before his ESPN special last night. We’re told that the two had a secret heart-to-heart outside of the Boys & Girls Club in Greenwich, CT, a meeting during which Lohan counseled James on how the notorious nailbiter could best visually express his inner feelings during such an emotionally intense moment. Thanks to the keen eye of our own Lauren Deiman, we can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that King James delivered a not-so-subtle message to the city of Cleveland via his fingernails last night.

Source: The Cut | 9 Jul 2010 | 12:30 pm OPEN THREAD: What If Dwight Schrute Ran The Office?
Over the last few weeks, Steve Carell has been running around telling everyone who’ll listen that next year will be his last on The Office. At this time, it remains unclear whether or not Carell actually means it or if his very public comments have simply been a negotiating ploy to force NBC into handing him a giant, Charlie Sheen sized paycheck. Either way, the Peacock Network has no plans to shutter Dunder-Mifflin’s Scranton branch. So if Michael Scott departs for greener pastures, who will take over as the big bossman? Well, if producer/writer/star Mindy Kaling has her way, it will be Dwight! As she tells Michael “Raisin Bran” Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly:
We certainly agree with her assertion that Dwight has become a more well-rounded character in recent seasons; additionally, promoting Dwight would also follow the template that the Ricky Gervais established with the revered Christmas special/series finale of the original Office series. But is Dwight really management material? Would everyone in Dunder-Mifflin revolt, or are they all too sloth-y to do anything about it? Could this reunite Dwight and Angela?

Nonetheless, Jill Taft, a designer in the process of "resuming her catwalk career," and her filmmaker husband, Joel Roodman, were shocked and horrified to find that the house they rented for $18,000 in East Hampton this year was crawling with the suckers, resulting in Jill's glorious model face being so swollen and bitten they had to stop at the emergency room in Queens, for the love of God. Obviously, the pair has hired a lawyer to sue the house's owner, as they fear permanent scarring on Jill's face as well as their egos. Lawyer Douglas Hoffer tells Andrea Peyser: "This is not a $40-a-night Red Roof Inn trip. They were off for summer vacation. They hired a nanny from overseas."
He said travelers ship vermin from abroad. "In the Hamptons, the help could be bringing them in."

It encompasses the world's smallest workshops, accessible to only the privileged few, and boasts techniques and workmanship operating at a level most of us can't even dream about. That said, I love that it exists alongside the H&Ms of the world, and really want to see it continue. The couture showings this week in Paris, although not intended for the masses, were still reflective of the times. The trends were widely neutral (with a continuation of the camel craze from fall), more conservative (no short-short dresses here), and less theatrical than in years past. And though it was a slightly more honest take on fashion, it's still couture at the end of the day, which meant miles of tulle, loads of sequins and beads, and eveningwear galore.
