News: Entertainment News | 15 Jul 2010 | 3:48 am TOP CHEF RECAP: Farm Policy? Not “Chef-retaries Of Agriculture?”This is a Recap of Top Chef D.C. (Season 7), Episode 5, entitled “Farm Policy”, originally airing on July 14th, 2010. I should quit right now because they didn’t name the episode “Chef-retaries Of Agriculture”, but I won’t because I have a heart of gold. Literally. I just died. Please welcome our guest judge for the week, 5-star-chef and Match Game regular Patrick O’Connell:
This week kicks off like many reality show episodes do: with people talking about the recently eliminated contestants as though they died. “One day, you’re doing frantic democracy-themed cooking challenges with these people you’ve known for three days, and the next minute…SNIFF… they’re gone! NO DAY BUT TODAY…” Behold, Lynne & Arnold’s empty beds:
Were a guy and girl rooming together? No they were not. Meaning these are not Lynne and Arnold’s beds, they’re just two beds that nobody is in at the moment. Nice try, camera dude, but ya gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to fool Ol’ Beddypants Hopper over here. If it’s before 11 am, you will probably fool me. After the jump, Angelo bangs the Quickfire, then drags his busy junk to the ol’ Sex Farm: We then cut to Angelo giving Tamesha an unsolicited pep talk, telling her that basketball players don’t think about how to win the game, they think about how to win the championship, which is terrible advice and don’t look now my arm’s around you!
Not sure why this photo came out super-blurry. I think Angelo roofied my USB cable. Ed then jumps on the “superfluous sexual tension” bandwagon and talks to Tiffany, but his attempts to out-creep Angelo are quickly washed away when the “Blue Crabs” Quickfire Challenge is announced, and Angelo declares “Well I had crabs, so it just brought back bad memories.” There was no reason for you to say this, Angelo, it was obviously a deliberate attempt to get another sound byte into the final edit. Nice try, though. We know you actually had gonorrhea. The chefs slaughter the crabs mostly uneventfully — Tamesha has never cooked with crab, Kenny calls himself a beast, and Paul O’Connell gets to say one word to every three chefs in his evaluations — and in the end, Ed wins immunity for his Thai-inspired crab with old bay. Kenny and Angelo finish as runners-up in the Top 3, just in case, you know, stuff ever changed. And Angelo got really excited when Paul complemented his dish:
For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs will be preparing a meal using local ingredients from an organic Virginia farm, and they’ll all have to work together on one big team. This should work out fine — but how is Bravo gonna fill the time, because with everyone on one team, they’re all gonna get along so perfec–OH NO ANGELO AND KENNY ARE DISAGREEING! Oh dear God. Who could’ve foreseen this? Quick, Timothy, go stand next to them and pretend you’re as good as they are!
There are so many cooks in this kitchen, it prompts Stephen to bring up the old cliche, “A penny saved is a penny earned, people!” Finally, the chefs agree to pair off into the previous week’s teams, which makes everyone happy except for Tiffany, who’s stuck with Timothy again, and Ed, who sure is subtle for a sex god:
Commercial break…hey, there’s redhead Kevin in an ad for Kikkoman!
Does Top Chef make the contestants sign American Idol “Own Your Soul Forever” contracts now too? See you in Ford ads with Taylor Hicks soon, Kevin! The chefs arrive at the farm, and the food is just sitting there, unsupervised. They assume it is the food for them and start cooking it, occasionally borrowing ingredients from their “Toyota Mobile Pantry,” aka “trunk.” Timothy calls the Mobile Pantry “off the hook” — you made it that way, Timothy, by putting useful things in there before you left. If you put a bunch of gold coins in a car trunk, your Toyota Mobile Bank would also be off the hook. Stephen wants to be the “forefrontrunner” — hopefully not of using correct words — and pulls a classic Top Chef “I know it’s simple, but…” salad that is destined for failure. Amanda is preparing a minestrone soup and makes the same mistake, saying “I know minestrone is pedestrian but…” Trouble Twins! We break for the DVR-Buster segment which, for the first time in the excruciating history of these things, gives us a truly worthwhile screenshot:
Back on the farm, Angelo calls Tamesha’s cherry compote “sexy,” then jokes (jokes?) that he “made love to his dish.” Kevin’s cauliflower then spills on the ground, and Angelo races to start f***ing it:
The chefs finish their dishes and serve them to a group of elite chefs and farmers in an authentic farm fashion: On a big long table out in the middle of an empty field when it’s really cold out. FARM STYLE!
Padma tells the chefs “Thank you very much for this wonderful meal. We will now proceed to criticize it with amazing specificity.” The chefs then kinda stand there for a while as the people eat:
Paul O’Connell says of Amanda’s soup, “The rusticity of everything is shocking,” which sounds like a super cheffy compliment, but the judges quickly pick apart her failure to cut/cook the vegetables evenly. Stephen’s salad then gets ripped on for being served in a bowl that doesn’t allow it to breathe (did you not have a pet toad when you were little, Stephen? Air holes, buddy). Timothy’s turnips and asparagus get ripped on too, completing the trifecta of expected-suck. Basically, the show seems to be back to normal after last week’s Chuck scare. The Top 4: Kevin, Kenny, Andrea, Kelly Andrea seemed to be headed for trouble when her Miami blood was getting cold, but she ended up pulling off her meat dish by cutting it into quarters; at the time, cutting the meat really seemed like something the editors left in to foreshadow her eventually having to defend herself at Judge’s Table, but she ended up doing fine. Kevin sneaks into the top as darkhorse, joining future season-finalists Kenny and Kelly. Kenny ends up winning Farmfest 2K10 with his sweet & sour curried eggplant, and responds with a gracious Top Chef “BLEEP.” Bottom 3: Timothy, Amanda, Stephen No surprises here – they comprised the Bottom 3 in my Top Chef Odds post yesterday (are you reading this, Mom? I’m good at something!) Amanda takes it on the chin when Eric Ripert calls her out for her “Minestrone” soup:
Amanda escapes yet again, though, when the judges are ultimately too disappointed with Timothy’s rash decision to throw asparagus into his dish at the last minute for color, which is weird, because usually when chefs on this show randomly throw an element into their dish at the last second without thinking, it always works out flawlessly and the judges uniformly high-five them.
On his way out, Timothy says “I’m looking forward to picking up the phone and growing old with these folks.” He then marries them. I cried. NEXT WEEK ON TOP CHEF: The chefs judge each other. I wonder if it gets heated? Probably not. I’ll bet it gets cooled down. So that’s “Everyone placed on one team so they fight,” followed by “Everyone judges each other so they fight more”? Two weeks from now they’re just gonna have all the chefs fistfight to the death in a giant fire pit. Summer Sweeps! Top Chef episode thoughts? Favorite/least favorite parts? Quotes? Who’s next to go? Does anyone have a shot against Angelo, Kenny and Kelly? Comment away. Source: Best Week Ever | 15 Jul 2010 | 2:33 am Sarah Palin's love-hate relationship with Levi Johnston over?

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 15 Jul 2010 | 12:17 am Industry Roundup: Elizabeth Banks To Play Tinkerbell In Live-Action Rom Com Tink Fast: Elizabeth Banks will star in Disney’s Tink, a live-action romantic comedy about the one and only Tinkerbell. Adam Shankman, Jennifer Gibgot and McG are on as producers, and the script duties fall to Elizabeth Wright Shapiro and McG. While the plot hasn’t been revealed, the project “plays with the mischievous nature of the Tinkerbell character.” Not sure how they're going to pull off a modern version, but we're nervous it's going to involve something like Tink asking the audience to tweet to keep her alive instead of clapping. [Variety] Crystal Claire: Modern Family’s Julie Bowen is joining two upcoming films. She’ll play the wife of Kevin Spacey’s character in the star-studded ensemble Horrible Bosses, which follows three friends who pledge to murder their overbearing bosses. She will also play a “high-strung wedding planner” in Jumping the Broom, a Martha’s Vineyard-set film about two African-American families from different backgrounds coming together. Just like her Claire Dunphy - juggling so many commitments! [Variety] On Her Own: The follow-up to Robyn’s Body Talk Pt. 1, given the logical title Body Talk Pt. 2, will be released September 6. Additionally, the Swede will release a new, fast version of Pt. 1 ballad “Hang With Me” as a single on September 5. She also recently recorded a track with Snoop Dogg, though it isn’t clear if that will end up on Pt. 2 or Pt. 3: whenever we hear it, it's sure to blow the summer's other Snoop-featuring track out of the water, in quality if not ubiquity. [Pitchfork] Ari And Ray's Adventure: HBO stars Thomas Jane and Jeremy Piven will star in I Melt With You, an ensemble thriller directed by Mark Pellington. The film revolves around the “interconnecting lives of four men,” and is based on a story developed by Pellington and Glenn Porter, who wrote the script. “This is about four guys and deals with mortality, aging and friendship,” Pellington said. “It is very dark and very low budget." Sounds very HBO. [Deadline] Doggonit: Ralph Winter (X-Men) and Terry Botwick have picked up the feature rights to Dean Koontz’s Trixie property, and the duo are developing the tale as a family comedy. Stephanie Fitch Groff will write the screenplay about Koontz’s real-life golden retriever, the subject of his memoir A Big Little Life. The dog also “wrote” the book Bliss to You, stars in a series of children’s picture books, and is rumored to be a total diva. [Variety] Hold On: The Hold Steady have added a new set of tour dates - and they’re starting soon. The band will kick things off July 14 in Columbus, Ohio, and play shows through October, wrapping up with a October 22 date in Nova Scotia.

John Runowicz, NYU's former chemistry department budget director, has been sentenced to one to three years in prison for stealing a staggering amount of money from the school. Runowicz’s pilfering methods were, to say the least, unusual: over the course of five years, he submitted 13,000 receipts for petty cash... all from the same liquor store (indicating he wasn’t exactly trying hard to cover up his misdeeds). In sum, he stole a total of $409,000 from the school before he was caught by a student courier who noticed the “repeat receipts” and turned him in (those pesky couriers!). Runowicz’s lawyer, Daniel Parker, who matriculated from NYU himself, found a way to somehow blame all of this - not on his client - but on the academic institution: "As an NYU Law graduate, I would hope they spend less time soliciting donations from their alumni until they can run a tighter ship," Parker said.

Source: Daily Intel | 14 Jul 2010 | 9:03 pm Jerry Saltz’s Work of Art Recap: Public Shaming My reality-TV show has me freaked out. Not because people in the art world keep pulling me aside at openings and earnestly whispering, “Jerry, please stop.” I’m fine with that. What shook me was all the psycho-drama, anxiety, and pain I glimpsed boiling to the surface on this week’s episode. I kept thinking about how too much self-knowledge can sometimes be a bad thing; that reality TV sometimes pulls the curtains back a little too far on certain personalities. As Goethe said, “If I knew myself, I’d run away.” This week’s Work of Art made me want to run away. Still, I was riveted, identifying with the troubles I saw. The challenge was to create a piece of public sculpture for an outdoor space (at Canal Street and Sixth Avenue in lower Manhattan). Never mind that 90 percent of all public sculpture is bad because it’s chosen by committees and bureaucrats, that no one even knows what public art should do anymore. The vast majority of outdoor sculpture is geometric, corporate-looking work or silly, figurative plop-art. The diabolical minds at Bravo, however, made this hard task harder by having the eight artists split into two four-person teams. Anyone who has spent time in the art world can tell you having artists work together on one piece of art is notoriously difficult. It goes against most artists’ natures. Teams were formed by having artists pick different colored paint tubes from a box. (Bravo, couldn’t we just have had the artists pick colored cards or something?) The Red Team was Abdi, Mark, Ryan, and Nicole — who turns out to have a real feel for form, materials, surface, scale, and getting people to pull together. Ryan was a total team player, although his inept skill set made me fear he was going to saw his thumb off. Mark was nervous about the group’s plan, but he wasn’t undermining. Abdi went along with everything, although he got a bit carried away saying that standing on the group’s multisided shape-thing made him feel “a little like Jesus for a minute.” (I know my generation blathered about Buddhism, but I wish Abdi would ratchet back the Christian references.) The ways this team cooperated proved that artists can work well together when they submerge their fears and egos into the work. Because they understood that no matter what they made it would be flawed, but they were able to work with flaws as they arose and show good art is often created by using the unexpected things that come up along the way. From the "Kumbaya" of the Red Team we turn to the Dostoevsky darkness of the Blue Team. The brooding Erik was teamed with Miles, whom the week before he called “manipulative,” and Jaclyn, whom he’d lambasted for not telling the judges that one of the ideas she used in a piece had been his. Erik complained that the others were shooting his ideas down and “discouraging” him. Miles disagreed: “This is about four people working for a common aesthetic.” Peregrine and Jaclyn tried to diffuse the tension, but all was for naught. Erik said he felt like a “leper,” calling the raised curved shape the group came up with “art school crap.” Maybe it was “art school,” but it actually wasn’t crap. In fact, theirs was the piece I was most attracted to, enjoyed using, experiencing, and sitting in. It didn’t matter that they later admitted that they hadn’t been aware that the patch of sky that their shelter looked directly at was empty because it had once been occupied by the World Trade Center (the other team was unaware of this too). Their piece was still poignant — my winner, for sure. Then Bravo doubled down on their evil streak. The judges and artists were informed by the gleeful Simon that the pieces were not being judged only on the finished work, but on who did what in each, and how the teams worked together. Because the judges had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, the Blue Team could have easily won the day simply by hiding their strife. Their crit started nicely as Peregrine, Jaclyn, and Miles traded off talking about the ideas and processes. I noticed Erik hanging back, so I asked him what’s up — then all hell broke loose. He said he didn’t like the piece and claimed to have had nothing to do with it (even though it was his title). Miles called Erik’s behavior on par with a “fourth grader,” Peregrine said she’s “afraid of Erik,” Jaclyn told Erik “you don’t belong here,” and Erik screamed “Fuck you!” at Jaclyn. He then called Miles “a total douche. Exactly what I expected from a trained artist who has his head stuck up his ass … I don’t need a stuck-up art pussy to teach me life lessons.” At that moment I can tell you that this “art pussy” had made up his mind. After the Red Group was told they’d won, they all agreed Nicole was the leader. (She remarked, “I know I’m a girl, but we were a real band of bros.”) I’m really looking forward to seeing more of her work; she’s a real dark horse. Things with the Blue Team, though, only deteriorated. Viewers didn’t see it, but after Erik was told good-bye, China asked if there was anything he’d like to say to the judges. He looked up, scowled, shook his head as if we were vermin, and stalked off. It was a little scary. (I actually asked Bravo if they had done psychological screening of the artists beforehand.) A minute later we saw Erik in the studio saying good-bye to the other artists. After he hugged Abdi and Ryan, Peregrine sweetly said, “I look forward to seeing you again.” He replied, “I wish I could say the same.” Wow! That hardness turned misguided when he said that “being sent home ends my last ditch effort at art.” Actually, Erik, being kicked off a reality show may do more to confirm you as an artist. The part that freaked me out wasn’t what Erik did. It was that, deep down inside, I knew that if I were in his position — deprived of sleep, thrown together with thirteen strangers, tasked to make strange things in no time, and filmed eighteen hours a day — that not only would I be sent home, but I’d snap. I’m not sure how I’m doing on my side of the camera, but I know I couldn’t cut it on the other one. I recently got a nice e-mail from Erik and look forward to seeing him again someday. I suspect, however, that his “art pussy” comment will haunt him in the art world. Maybe he should make like Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and publicly confess. Go to MoMA; shout into the Yoko Ono microphone now in the atrium, “I am an art pussy.” Maybe he should have Nao and Judith spelling the words “PROUD PUSSY” backward in brown liquid. Jamie-Lynn could sweetly dance, and Trong could tell people who Tom Freidman is. John and Amanda could turn it all into an abstract book cover.

The trailer cuts between the trial—with Treat Williams and Mary Louise Parker on the stand, and Jon Hamm, in full Don Draper gear, as Ginsberg's lawyer—, black and white footage of Franco reciting "Howl" in a club, and color footage of Franco, with a very neat beard, giving on camera interviews.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 14 Jul 2010 | 4:45 pm Is Inception the Anti-Avatar? New York's David Edelstein drew first blood on Monday, but today five other New York—based critics impugned Inception's masterpiece credentials — Indiewire's Todd McCarthy, Movieline's Stephanie Zacharek, the Voice's Nick Pinkerton, the Observer's Rex Reed, and, inevitably, Armond White. After months of sweaty blog hype, great trailers, and an early round of rapturous reviews, will Christopher Nolan's $160 million dream-stealing thriller fall victim to critical backlash two days before it opens? And if so, isn't this the complete opposite of what happened to Avatar? Remember last December when everybody thought Avatar was going to be terrible — and then all the reviews dropped at once, everybody loved it, and the buzz took a swift and dramatic turn for the positive (and the movie grossed $3 billion)? For months, Fox fooled us with silly-looking trailers and even-sillier-looking toys, and we all just laughed and sharpened our knives. Then BOOM! Excitement over Inception, though, probably peaked last week when first responders were calling it things like a "Jungian's Rififi" and a "Kubrickian feat of cinematic wizardry." 'Cause, really, where do you go from there? Are today's pans indicative of what's coming tomorrow and Friday, or will more raves just drown them out? Whatever happens, Hollywood can probably expect to learn an important lesson about critical hype cycles and when best to lift review embargoes. And if anyone ever puts us in charge of managing the publicity for a large-budget blockbuster, we're definitely giving Armond White first crack at it.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 14 Jul 2010 | 4:22 pm Place Your Bets: Who’s Going Home On Top Chef Tonight?For the purposes of discussion / prediction / imaginary gambling, let’s start a weekly “Who’s Going home On Top Chef” gambling pool, only using comments instead of money, and making fun of Top Chef contestants instead of payoffs. The odds for tonight, July 14th:
Weird – besides Angelo and Kenny (who was in the bottom four last week), it’s hard to confidently pick people who are immune to elimination at the moment. Not sure if that means the chefs aren’t good this season or just that they’re really evenly matched. Actually, I am sure it means the former, but I was trying to be diplomatic because we have like 900 more Recaps to go and I don’t want to give up on the season just yet. Your bets? Leave ‘em in the comments. Then mail me your cash. Honor system! Source: Best Week Ever | 14 Jul 2010 | 4:21 pm Jenny Lewis Goes Surfing Jenny and Johnny, a new musical project from Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis in which she teams up with her boyfriend, Jonathan Rice, made its Vulture debut a few weeks back when we were prognosticating what other tracks might enter the Song of the Summer sweepstakes. Back then it was the duo’s first single, “Scissor Runner,” that was on the docket, and upon reexamination, it’s aged well: Spry and silly, with a crappy-on-purpose guitar sound and cutesy but not-quite-annoyingly-so tag-team vocals, it was a nice, warm introduction to Lewis’s new musical entity. Now the two have gone and followed it up today with “Big Wave,” another track off their August 31 debut, I’m Having Fun (Is that a Party Down shout-out?!), and this one may just be even more of a jam. You’ll have to give up your e-mail to hear it, but — if you’re into awesome bare-bones riffs, dopey backup vocals, and Jenny Lewis figuring out how to shove about five extra syllables into the word “lake” — it should be worth the price of admission.

Source: The Cut | 14 Jul 2010 | 4:15 pm Jamie Dimon Just Wants to Have Fun To ensure that the financial-reform bill was sufficiently neutered, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon harnessed all of the power of his soulful eyes. He jeopardized his special relationships by criticizing the administration, and, finally, spent $7.7 million, more than any other big bank, on lobbying against it. If taking over Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns in the heart of the crisis made him a household name, watering down the overhaul of the financial-reform bill made him so famous that he is "now commonly referred to by a single name, like Pelé or Madonna," according to the Times. He is a hero. A giant among men. “Right now, there are virtually no giants on Wall Street except maybe Jamie,” David M. Rubenstein tells the paper. You'd think this would feel good, but no. "Despite his semi-victory, Mr. Dimon says being the chief is less fun these days, now that politics are so intertwined with his job."

"A few weeks ago, it became clear that I was entering a new phase of [heart] disease when I began to experience increasing congestive heart failure," Bush's former right-hand man said in a statement today. "After a series of recent tests and discussions with my doctors, I decided to take advantage of one of the new technologies available and have a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted." The pump is not the first mechanical device Cheney has had implanted in his chest — he also has a pacemaker, ensuring that his ailing ticker keeps on tocking.

However, she says she will continue modeling while she feels physically well (last week she did a shoot for Pop magazine). "Sunnery and I are in the clouds," Kroes told a Dutch paper.

Source: The Cut | 14 Jul 2010 | 2:35 pm Steve Wynn Buys Into the Plaza Casino mogul and hotelier Steve Wynn has closed on his 5,600-square-foot duplex at the Plaza. The asking price was $24 million, and a source says Wynn closed at something near that number — a price that includes all the furniture, so no major renovation work is expected. The place was recently refashioned by architect Gal Nauer with wenge wood floors, a "spa gallery," and a "cloistered exercise room" (whatever that means). A 22-foot-wide terrace off the gallery hall offers park views, which are also available from the living and dining rooms. There's also another rare terrace off the master bedroom. Most importantly, the massive apartment has plenty of wall space for Wynn's spectacular art collection — which now (and probably forever) includes Picasso's 1932 portrait, "Le Rêve," the painting Wynn famously elbowed in 2006.

Each garment's hang tag comes with a key that can be worn as a necklace and an online code that, when punched in at Archive 1887's website, unlocks a streaming playlist, musician career bio, etc. (Get it? The key unlocks the playlist ... oh, never mind.) The Iggy crews and V-neck tees are priced at $58, the raglan ones at $84.
