Movieline Has the Final Word on Conangate — and the First Interview with the Author

Posted on June 17, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Back in February, Viking confirmed that Bill Carter, the bestselling author of the Late Shift had flown to Los Angeles to begin research on a new book chronicling the latest late night shakedown at NBC. Proof of the project arrived earlier this week online via cover art for The War For Late Night: When Leno Went Early and Television Went Crazy (pictured right) and a September release date. Anxious to hear more about the surefire bestseller, Movieline phoned Carter earlier this week to discuss the impending release date and whether Jay Leno is really as cold and calculating as Conan fans make him out to be.

Friday Night Lights’ Zach Gilford on His Big Episode, That Facebook Campaign, and the Series Finale

Posted on June 17, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Friday Night Lights has always has passionate fans, but over the last few weeks, their fervor has been updated for the Facebook age. It’s due in large part to Zach Gilford’s shattering performance in the recent episode “The Son,” which found his character Matt Saracen grappling with his hated father’s death. Perhaps inspired by the grassroots activism that landed Betty White on Saturday Night Live , the website PopEater launched an unofficial Emmy campaign for Gilford (he’d be nominated in the guest actor category, since he went from regular to recurring this past season) and now it’s become a surging Facebook petition that’s brought a spotlight back to the acclaimed but underseen series. As he films an arc of episodes for the show’s fifth (and presumed-to-be final) season, Gilford rang Movieline to talk about filming the tough episode, the things we didn’t see, and what the FNL series finale will (and won’t) have in common with the final episode of lost.

A trio of ’90s television stars resurfaced for last night’s after hours circuit.

Meanwhile, Lisa Kudrow explained why she probably was not the best fit for a recent commencement address and Tim Allen joined Craig Ferguson in comparing Ryan Seacrest to a polyp. Click through for those segments, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while celebrating Psycho ‘s 50th birthday.

Smurfs Trailer Debuts New, Tone-Loc-Sampling Theme Song

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Hope you didn’t get your hopes up about that Smurfs teaser trailer: it has arrived (via Yahoo ), and it has about two seconds more of Smurfage than could be gleaned via today’s first still . But! There is a brief snatch of the new theme song, and it’s been remixed with Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing,” because why wouldn’t it be? (Here is why: because the Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel already took “Single Ladies.”)

Nicollette Sheridan Merely ‘Tapped,’ Says Revised Lawsuit

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Remember back in April when Nicollette Sheridan filed a $20 million lawsuit against Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry alleging that he “forcefully hit” and then wrongfully terminated her? Sheridan’s lawyers recently amended the lawsuit, noting that ABC investigated the claim and dismissed the abuse as a “light tap on the side of the head” meant to provide screen direction. [ THR ]

Screenwriter Teases PG-13, Vampire-Babyless Breaking Dawn

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Beyond the recruitment of Bill Condon to direct it in two easy installments, the only thing the casual moviegoer really needs to know about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn is that its source novel features some, er, significant childbirth complications by young mother Bella Swan. The franchise’s fans, who’ve pumped the franchise into the billion-dollar monolith it is, wanted the scene — plus the vampire sex that begets it — preserved from the start, PG-13 be damned. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg would officially like to start deflating those hopes. [Mild spoilers follow.]

Watch Alison Brie Talk About the ‘Angry Pirate’ and Other Ridiculous Sex Acts

Posted on June 16, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The summer of Mad Men rolls on! In the latest video from Funny or Die, Alison Brie, her Mad Men co-star Rich Sommer and Mrs. Landingham from West Wing — OK, fine, Kathryn Joosten — help bring to life a world where the U.S. Patents Office copyrights 57 sex acts per year. Naturally Brie — the self-described ” Queen of Copulation ” — plays a young lady who has found time to perfect a vast array of them with her husband while still finding time to come up with some of her own. Like “The Military-Style Execution” and “Bad Dog,” two sex acts which are way more disgusting than you’re even imagining right now. If you always wanted to hear Brie say “plastic penis,” here’s your chance. Barely NSFW video after the jump.

Your New CNN Host is… Eliot Spitzer

Posted on June 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Disgraced New York governor Eliot Spitzer has been a consistent cable news personality recently, but his TV gig may become permanent. He’s reportedly close to signing a deal to star as one half of a Crossfire -style debate show on CNN, acting as a liberal counterpart to an as-yet-unannounced conservative. How long will it take before Jon Stewart appears and kills this too? The faster the better, as Donald Trump will get fussier each passing year that Eliot Spitzer is not on Celebrity Apprentice .

On DVD: Why Parking is One of the Best Straight-to-DVD Releases of the Year

Posted on June 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The new indie Parking could be pegged as a Taiwanese version of Martin Scorsese’s After Hours , but it’s something altogether odder, less a Road Runner comedy than a simulation of one of those all-night odysseys we’ve all had — when time evaporates and tiny logistical dilemmas drive us insane and eventually it’s morning and something about our lives is different.
