Late Night Highlights: Jeremy Piven Premieres His Worst Work Ever and Chris Rock Gives Al-Qaeda Free Advice

Last night, Jay Leno premiered a lost Tonight Show original starring Jeremy Piven that sucked so much, production decided not to use the footage after it was originally shot. Perhaps hoping that mercury poison jokes get better with age, the Leno dug up the bit for his latest segment with the Entourage star. Click through for the untimely, unfunny Leno-Piven collaboration as well as the other highlights you missed while criticizing your own ABC Family acting debut .

The 10 Greatest Real World Cast Members Ever

The Real World comes back next week with its Back to New Orleans season, and with each passing year, it’s impossible not to pine for the series’ best days. Last year’s Washington D.C. trip marked a step in the right direction, but the prime seasons of Real World are so much less contrived and self-aware — it’s impossible to shake them from memory. Here we revisit the show’s ten greatest stars, the ten castmates who were smart enough, cool enough, or downright problematic enough to make the kind of reality TV you might be proud to have watched.

Muppet Enthusiast to Battle Piracy

While President Obama studies game film to restructure his strategy regarding the oil spill, V.P. and Muppet buddy Joe Biden today went before cameras to announce the adminstration’s crackdown on… piracy. “To state it very bluntly, piracy hurts,” Biden said at the White House announcement, with attorney general Eric Holder by his side. “It hurts our economy, our health and our safety.” And, conveniently, it’s not a mile below the Gulf of Mexico. For his part, Holder is reorganizing the entire Justice Department for the crusade, creating “a task force, as well as hiring 15 new Assistant U.S. Attorneys and 20 FBI special agents dedicated to combating domestic and international IP property crimes.” Awesome! Next up: Re-hiring the Department of the Interior . [

REVIEW: Playful Alain Resnais Gets a Bit Lost in His Wild Grass

With the end of middle age within tippy-toe reach, Georges Palet (André Dussollier) has pulled into a kind of defensive crouch; he’s not going willingly, and open to distraction. Alternately resigned and bitterly combative, he is treated by his wife Suzanne (Anne Consigny) like a recently released mental patient, which might not be that far off: When we meet Georges he is being driven to thoughts of homicide by a passing woman’s visible panty line. But then the stream of consciousness can run pretty wild, and is subject to theoretical whims as brutal as they are benign. The roots of romantic feeling, as explored in Wild Grass , Alain Resnais’s jazzy ode to cinema and the love impulse in later life, are equally, spectacularly random.

Dear Bravo, must you continually plumb new depths of humanity each week in your fame-monger franchise, the Real Housewives ? In last night’s edition of the New Jersey series, Danielle underwent a strip mall breast augmentation and Teresa — the housewife who just declared bankruptcy – spent $100,000 on a Studio 54-themed housewarming party. But there is more showstopping entitlement where that came from! Click through to read about the other depressing threads woven into last night’s faulty tapestry, “Bubbies Gone Bad,” and to see which evolutionary disappointments hit Movieline’s patented Real/Fake jackpot.

Heroes Movie Sounds Iffy

In today’s superhero-saturated world, do we really need a return engagement with a whole bunch of putative crusaders who almost never use their powers? That was NBC’ s thinking when the network snuffed the low-rated Heroes , and though creator Tim Kring has been trying to muster up support for a wrap-up movie, he admits to EW that he network has yet to pull the trigger. “Movies sometimes need a little distance from the television show,” he rationalized. Sorry, Tim. We’ve already moved on to Ant-Man . [ EW ]

Meet Kenny Wormald, Your New Footloose Lead

Back when the Footloose remake had Zac Efron set to star for his High School Musical director Kenny Ortega, it seemed like a no-brainer proposition, but as Efron, Ortega, and then fill-in lead Chace Crawford left the project, Footloose had less and less reason for being. Still, Paramount pressed on, and new director Craig Brewer has now cast a virtual unknown to fill the dance slippers of Efron and Crawford. Let’s meet him!
