The project will be directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) and written by Kick-Ass scribe Jane Goldman. The Harry Potter star will play a young lawyer who must work by himself in an “old and isolated house.” He eventually discovers that the local village is “held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.” Though it becomes less scary when it’s revealed the ghost is just Moaning Myrtle swinging by to check up on her old bud. [Deadline] Raimi OK For Earp Project: Sam Raimi is attached to direct Earp: Saints for Sinners, an adaptation of a graphic novel created by Matt Cirulnick and Mandeville exec David Manpearl. Cirulnick, who also co-wrote the graphic novel, will be charged with writing the screenplay. The sci-fi story reimagines Earp - best known for his legendary O.K. Corral gunfight - in a future in which he “takes on outlaws in a ravaged society where the only boomtown left is Las Vegas.” As long as he's not checking into corrals on Foursquare, sending Earp to the future sounds OK to us. [Heat Vision/HR] Charles In Charge: Larry Charles, the man who directed Sacha Baron Cohen in Bruno and Borat, has signed on to helm Pierre Pierre, a comedy that will star Jim Carrey. Carrey will play a Frenchman who moves a stolen painting from Paris to London, “behaving more obnoxiously than any waiter you've ever encountered at Cannes," Deadline says, making clear whom the site presumes its audience to be. [Deadline] Double Duty: Kirsten Vangsness, who already stars as Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds, will also join the midseason replacement series Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior - which boasts Oscar winner Forest Whitaker - as a series regular. Vangsness will play the same role in both shows, her “computer wizard who helps research cases.” It's gotta sting for Minds' recently fired females that while they're left with nothing, Vangsness now gets a second part. [Deadline] The Lowe Down: Rob Lowe has joined HBO stars Thomas Jane and Jeremy Piven in the indie ensemble thriller I Melt With You. Lowe will play a doctor “struggling with deep personal loss and a growing drug addition” in the Mark Pellington film. [Deadline] Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: It’s now been confirmed that, as had been rumored, Tim Burton will develop and direct the film adaptation of Matt Wilson’s board game Monsterpocalypse. The game centers on gigantic robots created to protect mankind from giant aliens. John August (Big Fish, Corpse Bride) is on board to write the script. [Variety] Wes' World: Wes Bentley, Angus Macfadyen, Julian Sands (24), Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl) and Laura Ramsey (Mad Men) will star in indie post-apocalyptic drama Hirokin. Alejo Mo-Sun is directing the film from his own script, which follows a “reluctant hero” (Bentley) who must choose between “avenging the murder of his family or fighting for the freedom of a people long abused.” Those of us whose most pressing decisions are of the "take a nap or watch another episode of Real Housewives?" caliber should surely be able to relate.

News: Entertainment News | 19 Jul 2010 | 10:17 pm Botwins Become Newmans In Trailer For Weeds' Sixth Season In an apparent attempt to shake things up on the flagging Showtime comedy, set to begin its sixth season in August, it looks like Nancy Botwin and crew will be heading on the run after Shane's mallet-aided murder. The three-minute trailer mostly centers on the misadventures of Nancy and Andy (who seem to have moved past their brief flirtation and are again goofy besties), beefy Silas, still creepy Shane and cute baby Avi. Nancy does her best Sydney Bristow and goes undercover as a hotel maid named Natalie, while the rest of the clan tries to remain under the radar as the “Newman” family. But just when it seems like the show might have shed its roots entirely, we learn that while you can take the girl out of the pot-dealing business (and throw a wig on her), you apparently can’t take the dealer out of the girl, as Nancy can’t shake her love for the game. With both that reveal and the scenes of Doug (who for some reason is still around) doing his grating shtick, it’s almost enough to make you wish that instead of killing Pilar, Shane had put the show out of its misery instead.

Lohan tweeted late Monday night. "The only 'bookings' that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be 'booking' into Jail... eeeks," a message which spurred a flood of "good luck" tweets from her followers.

The cast initially asked for $30,000 per episode (or roughly 7,500 jars of pickles per episode) from here on out, which would represent a 200 percent raise. MTV has reportedly countered with an offer close to that figure, and at least “a couple of key members” (presumably the fab four) are expected to accept as soon as Monday night.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 19 Jul 2010 | 5:25 pm Modern Family's Two Dads Split Up There's been a divorce in the Modern Family: Vulture hears that Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, the creators and showrunners of ABC's hit comedy, have decided to dissolve the four-year old business partnership that led to the creation of the show. Neither man is leaving Family, but Levitan and Lloyd will now manage the series as single parents rather than as a couple. So why the split? While there have been rumors of some professional tension between the two for some time — mostly dealing with differences in style rather than anything juicy — the bottom line behind the separation probably has more to do with, well, the bottom line. Levitan and Lloyd first hooked up in 2006, at a time when TV comedy was struggling mightily and even big-name producers with resumes as impressive as those of Levitan (Just Shoot Me) and Lloyd (Frasier) were having trouble landing big deals. By teaming, the two men hoped to become more attractive to studios, and that's exactly what happened: 20th Century Fox Television signed the newly-minted duo to a very lucrative multiyear deal. The first few years of the partnership produced only the ill-fated Kelsey Grammer-Patricia Heaton comedy Back to You, which was canceled by the Fox network after one season. But then last fall, Levitan and Lloyd's Family became an instant hit; within months, syndicated repeats of the series had been sold to USA Network for a reported $1.5 million per episode. The odor of Back to You has now been erased and replaced with the sweet smell of success, signaling both a recovery in the TV comedy economy and a big upswing for Levitan and Lloyd's respective careers. In other words, the two men (along with their agents at UTA and ICM) realized they no longer really needed to stay attached. They'll still work together writing and running Family, but they're also in talks with 20th about continuing at the studio under new, separate deals. Given the fact that Family figures to be around a lot longer, and likely make a lot more money than 20th's other big hit from last season, Glee, don't be surprised if Levitan and Lloyd's new agreements end up in the same range as the big bucks Ryan Murphy is supposedly now making for his services. No word yet on how the Family kids are taking this, though we hear Rico Rodriguez (Manny!) is already relishing the prospect of separate Christmas presents from his behind-the-scenes TV dads.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 19 Jul 2010 | 5:17 pm Who Will Star In Keenan Ivory Wayans’ Third-World Adoption Comedy? Deadline's Mike Fleming reports that Keenan Ivory Wayans just sold a pitch to CBS and Columbia for a comedy, It Takes a Village, about a "white single career-obsessed woman who decides on a whim to adopt a child from a South Pacific island — and comes home with the tribe's chief and seven elders who'll stay until she proves she's mommy material." Hilarious! Now who the hell do they get to star in this thing? Presumably stars who have adopted in real life would stay away from a comedy whose jokes were (partially) inspired by them — ruling out Angelina Jolie, Katherine Heigl, Jessica Alba, Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Madonna, and possibly Kate Hudson (plus the dozens of other actresses hiding secret babies, Bullock style, in case they need to distract from a scandal later). Who's left? Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, and Reese Witherspoon, we guess — but none of them really have the motive to star in a comedy mocking adopters of third-world babies (much less one directed by the guy who did White Chicks and Little Man).

Source: The Cut | 19 Jul 2010 | 5:00 pm Young Jeezy Introduces Yet Another Pseudonym Here are the three most confusing/disconcerting things about “Jizzle,” the new single off Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 103 — which is not as good as first single “Lose My Mind,” but better than second single “All White Everything.” (Also, TM103 is now totally locked in for a September 28 release date, and there’s no way that’s changing. No way). 1. As Lil Jon makes abundantly clear, “Jizzle” features Shawty Redd “on the mothafuckin’ track.” So if Lil Jon didn’t produce the song, why did Jeezy let him scream "yeaaaaah" and "what?" all over it? 2. A few months back, Young Jeezy made a clearly worded announcement that he was dropping the “Young” from his stage name (leading some people to muse on the implications). And yet here he is, acting as if the statement never existed and continuing to refer to himself as “Young,” “Jeezy,” and “Young Jeezy” interchangeably. 3. No matter how well intentioned the couplet from which it stems is, did no one in the studio at the time of the production of “Jizzle” consider dissuading Jeezy from saying the words, “I should be a fucking Nazi”?

In the winter, walking to 450 West 33rd Street from Penn Station is brutal.

And at least one dress by Miu Miu, ranging in price from $2,300, to $4,900, has become a celebrity in its own right this season, appearing on the covers of three summer magazines: Eva Mendes wore it on the July cover of W, Lily Allen wore it on the August cover of British Elle, and Freja Beha wore it on the August cover of British Vogue.

And while magazines like British Elle routinely share cover people, editor Lorraine Candy told the Guardian she didn't really like sharing her August cover dress. "Obviously I'd rather it wasn't on a major rival," she said. But every season has a few iconic looks that are shot over and over again, such as the Balmain dress Demi Moore wore so famously on the cover of W. But maybe this Miu Miu dress that has encased all these famous breasts can serve as a reminder that before there were celebrities there were clothes, and that they — not people — are the true stars of this business. How did the same dress get on the covers of W, Elle and Vogue?

Source: The Cut | 19 Jul 2010 | 4:20 pm Howard Stern Thanks God Every Day That He Doesn’t Have to Have Sex With Larry King Howard Stern, who once descended from the rafters during a live broadcast of the MTV Music Awards in buttless chaps, knows how to make a splash. So it was not surprising that the Sirius Radio host had some definite ideas about the kind of things America's Got Talent host Piers Morgan needs to do to distinguish himself when he takes over for Larry King this fall. "It’s no longer competitive just to do the interviews," Stern told us at last night's premiere of Dinner for Schmucks. "I mean, really, if you analyze it, Fox and MSNBC have very big talent. They’re broadcasters who know how to mix things up and do provocative types of television, so that’s who he's competing with. He’s got to do more." He reflected. "I think he should bring in some of the elements from America’s Got Talent. Like, when he interviews a guest, have a big “X” and “X” them if they’re really bad," he said. "Or he can make the guests show off a talent and he can tell them if they’re good or not." We asked what Stern would do if it were him taking over. "Well, the first thing I would do is take a big, giant picture of Larry and throw it in the garbage," he mused. "Then I’d go from there. I’d probably have Larry’s wife on, with the sister. That would be my first guest. And have provocative details of every disgusting sexual position Larry put them in. Can you imagine?" he demanded of us. "Can you imagine Larry on top of you?" We shook our head, willing the image not to come into it. Howard nodded understandingly. "You’d give up being a woman. I thank God every day I’m not a woman because I’m afraid Larry King would get on top of me." Read more posts by Jada Yuan Filed Under: party chat, howard stern, larry king, tortured minds

Thanks to the California Cryobank, now even the homeliest of wombs can bake the most beautiful of babies. That’s because, while the Los Angeles based sperm bank isn’t allowed to show you photos of their roster of men who have masturbated in a hospital bathroom, they will gladly tell you which celebrity these men resemble. This news report does more explaining than I ever could: I took a quick look at the Look-A-Likes finder over at Cryobank.com and was literally stunned with the amount of celebrity lookalike sperm choices being offered to me. Imagine, I could birth a baby with Paul Rudd’s eyes, Puff Daddy’s mouth, Billy Baldwin’s hair, and Billy Baldwin’s nose. Wait, in fact, why don’t I just tell you which celebrities I’d like my baby to look like:

It is very important that my baby look like YOUNG Timothy Hutton with all the physical prowess of an old Yao Ming. Now, to get my insemination on and take this future superstar baby all the way to the cry-o-bank. OK, fess up: What would your perfect celebrity baby sperm look like? Sorry, I meant the baby.

Source: The Cut | 19 Jul 2010 | 1:20 pm Am I The Only Person Who Hated Inception?The following post will have spoilers in it. If you haven’t seen Inception, throw your computer out of your window, hot foot it to your local cinema, see it, buy a new computer, and then read this post. If you have seen it, prepare to most likely disagree with me on the matter.
Now, before we get into the specifics, allow me to paint a picture of my own mental state at the time. I had landed from an 11 hour flight at 6 am in the morning, and in order to beat my jet lag, insisted I carry on with my regular Sunday plans as per usual. This included brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, quick ride on the Cyclone at Coney Island, adopting and promptly returning 2 dogs, setting a pigeon free, and meeting and marrying an accountant. But what “Collins Sunday”TM also doesn’t include a quick movie theater drive-by? So, I embarked on an evening screening of Inception with a friend, whose mutually high-expectations came crashing down like so many CGI beachfront apartment buildings. Inception, a movie about dreaming, and not just dreaming but dreams within dreams within dreams, might be the worst movie in the world to see while painfully jet-lagged. But here’s what I gathered during the skin-clawingly frustrating two and a half hours: Leonardo DiCaprio reprises his role as Furrowed Brow #1 from Shutter Island, this time playing Dom Cobb, a tortured fellow who sneaks into dreams in order to steal secrets from people’s subconsciouses. Also, wife dead something about his kids blah blah blah. See also: Shutter F**king Island. Wait, JK, don’t see it.
The beginning was confusing, but once the audience gets a peak into what’s going on, it reaches Clockwork Orange levels of eye-toothpick insanity. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. First of all, for a movie about dreams where literally anything as possible, and where a completely unnecessary character (Ellen Page) is brought in with the SOLE PURPOSE of building way awesome dreams, don’t you think they could have pushed the boundaries a little for what is and isn’t possible? The effects that we did get were pretty rad — specifically the zero-gravity sequence in the hotel — but come on. Giant mirror doors that reflect each other? I’ve seen that effect before in person, when my parents had a small bathroom completely mirrored in their Miami Beach home. And if you’ve never done a Rockettes-style kick while urinating, believe me, it is worth your trouble. Inception made me long for the days of the no hold barred creativity of the 1998 melodrama What Dreams May Come.
Leonardo DiCaprio is a gifted man. But if I have to see him furrow a brow and cry one more time… his furrowed eyebrow and Julia Roberts’ forehead vein are the Marlon Brando’s farts of modern day go-to acting techniques. And DiCappies knitted brows have never produced as many sweaters as in Inception, where it spends thousands of minutes of screen time in undeniable headachey pain. Oh, PS, if you don’t believe me, then maybe you’ll believe a little magazine called NEWSWEEK?? (Wait, I just looked in the mirror as I’m typing this missing and realized I’M doing the Leo DiCaps Furrow©! Do you see what this film has done to me?)
In fact, the only character who was not only bearable but actually enjoyable was Eames, the sly British cohort depicted by Tom Hardy, and frankly that was mainly because of his awesome awesome wardrobe. Big ups to costume designer Jeffrey Kurland for spending $9 billion at the Prada store to produce some of the finest looking men on camera in a long while. And remind me how it is possible that hundreds of thousands of bullets happen to miss the 6 or so Weekend-at-Bernie’s-like characters sleeping in the back of the van? Speaking of which, how dare Nolan not cast Jonathan Silverman? I digress.
Now, the ending. Oh, the ending. I haven’t heard that many audience gasps since that time I took a maternity test on Maury Povich. Was it reality? Did Dom Cobb finally reunite with his children and get over his unbearably annoying wife? Or was he still in a dream, in limbo, dead on the outside but oh so alive in his own sleepy brain? It all came down to a spinning top, a slight wobble, and a cut to black that even Tony Soprano would glower at. The good news is, Inception has proved to me that most Americans would probably love Hanukkah and our wacky little games. The ending really left me wondering: Would I be able to make it home without first passing out from exhaustion in a sewer? The top is still spinning on that one. Inception is an intelligent seeming movie that I fear is not as smart as people think it is. Look, I get it: There are parts of the movie that are very cool. Some of the effects are startling. But the movie could have been so much more. It felt repetitive, the plot lacking, no real twists, and as my friend and I dubbed it, “fake smart.” And yes, before you ask, we understood everything. (OK, to be fair, I’m still wondering what the deal was with the old Asian dude eating noodles. I’m thinking it has something to do with “limbo.”) Let it be known: This movie is way, way better than anything I could ever personally do. Christopher Nolan is obviously a cinematic genius and superior to me in every way. This post is certainly not my greatest work, and composed by a brain still fried by the sun and air travel. However, disclaimer aside, I feel like someone needs to speak up about what is now considered the Summer’s Biggest Blockbuster, and the #3 Greatest Movie Ever. And thus concludes this ranty raid. Now, to sit back and wait to be murdered by these girls:
Oh, and finally — perhaps most importantly — when did Tom Berenger start looking so so so terrible? We miss you Jake Taylor!

For those of you who didn’t, I will explain. It was a show about the behind-the-scenes happenings at a comedy show. But there were also very serious story lines about soldiers being kidnapped in Afghanistan and legal fights with the FCC. So, yeah… it was a disaster. That show did not work out as a thing that was meant to be good. But this real life behind-the-scenes video of the Jimmy Fallon show staff writing a song is actually very interesting.

I’m not just indiscriminately against the idea of things having “power,” it just seems like a really random attribute for a news broadcast to possess, let alone advertise about.

Source: Best Week Ever | 19 Jul 2010 | 10:57 am You Tell Me: Does This Tweet Make Sense?Listen, I know this is an abuse of blogging privileges, but I really need your help here. Last night I tweeted a thing. I have my Facebook and Twitter linked so it automatically got posted as my Facebook status update. I had thought it was a pretty straight forward tweet, but then there was this guy that just did not get it at all — didn’t understand it even a little bit. And this got me wondering: Am I a nonsensical Twitter-er? Do people often not understand me? I’ve been thinking about this for like 14 hours, and I need you guys to tell me If this makes sense. Now, I want to be clear — I AM NOT ASKING YOU IF THIS TWEET IS FUNNY. That’s not what we’re here to discuss. I’m not defending this tweet as a piece of humor. I hate every tweet I write five seconds after I write it. I am simply defending it on the grounds that it independently makes sense and is structurally sound as a complete thought. Now, you guys tell me. Am I right that this makes sense, or is this Brian guy right for really, really not understanding it?
So where are you guys on this? Team Brian or Team Noah? I suppose “Neither Candidate” is also an option. One quick rule: No sh*tting on Brian. I’m not positive if I’ve ever met him in person, but I’m sure he’s a nice guy. Sh*tting on me, however, is obviously allowed and even encouraged. UPDATE: Based on significant commenter confusion it is quite clear that this Tweet makes no sense to many people. Team Brian wins. Explanation: The word “but” suggests there is a conflict between the two statements when, in fact, there is not. So in the universe of this tweet, I 1.) thought there was a conflict, 2.) realized there wasn’t, and 3.) got happy. Does this even help?
