Because airing grievances on Twitter is what all showrunners do nowadays, here’s Steve Levitan. The veteran television producer — who currently helps run the hit that is Modern Family — used his Twitter feed this week to tear down not only Hulu, but the entire way television ratings are judged in general. Funny story: he’s got a point.

Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot has taken a page out of David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo talent search by pairing one American with four foreign-born actresses in an attempt to cast Peter Parker’s love interest (who, FYI, isn’t Mary Jane). The current shortlist : Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, Lily Collins, Ophelia Lovibond and Emma Roberts. ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead was on the list, too, but unfortunately didn’t make the cut.) Based on previous experience , expect the role to go to Roberts. [ THR /Heat Vision ]

American Idol cynics bug you with revisionist history. They caw, “I mean, Idol gave us Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, but they also gave us ( sniff, cackle ) Justin Guarini.” The butterscotch Afro was tired, sure, but hear this: Guarini’s talent has always stood for itself, and American Idol wouldn’t have been compelling in its inaugural season without him. Now, he’s finally getting his comeuppance on the Great White Way.

Good news, fans of porn, HBO and Mark Wahlberg: All three elements are colliding in a new untitled series being developed at the premium cable network by Entourage executive producers Wahlberg and Steve Levinson. The hour-long drama will focus on a “giant video company under siege from Internet competitors and a girl from the Midwest whose boyfriend convinces her to move to Los Angeles to become a star.” Both actors and real-life porn performers will star in the project, which is being written by none other than… James Frey. Said the Million Little Pieces scribe, “We’re going to make a sprawling epic about the porn business in LA. We’re going to tell the type of stories no one else has told before.” Well, no one except for Paul Thomas Anderson. [ NYP ]

You knew that Batman had landed in a pretty bleak place at the end of The Dark Knight , but no one knew quite how bleak until this week, when the Caped Crusader hit bottom — at a Taco Bell. Video after the jump.

Like the character he portrays on Fox’s Emmy-nominated gem Glee , Cory Monteith is a paradox. Both awkward and well-rehearsed, the Canadian-born actor had famously never sung in front of a live audience before his audition for Ryan Murphy’s musical series. He never learned how to throw a football before playing star quarterback Finn Hudson. And despite having zero experience dancing, he landed a role on the only scripted series that demands its stars learn new choreography each week.

Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter: best showrunner ever or best showrunner ever ever ever ? In today’s TV climate, suddenly executive producers like Damon Lindelof and Shonda Rhimes can become nearly as famous as their stars, and Sutter definitely deserves a higher profile for his hilarious candid takedowns of the Emmys and litigious bikers . Now, he’s finally getting that attention, but it’s for criticizing his lead actor.
