Congratulations to Movieline’s iPad Winners!

It finally happened: after weeks of teasing , Movieline’s big ol’ iPad giveaway handed out four copies of Apple’s shiny, brand-spanking new device (no, not that one ). As for that fifth free iPad…that’s where we have an unexpected, suspenseful twist.

How Well Does Kiefer Sutherland Clean Up After A Strip Club Hangover?

Kiefer Sutherland was sitting outside of a London strip club last Friday morning at 4 A.M. : drunk, sore from being manhandled by bouncers, and exhausted from robot-dancing the night away . In a scenario straight out of a Bizarro World 24 , the actor had only a few hours to sober up before promoting his Sundance bomb Twelve on one of Britain’s most popular talk shows. How did the real-life Jack Bauer fare?

Matrix This

Get ready for the Approval Matrix , a new television series from Bravo that literally rips a page from New York Magazine . The in-development show will feature four rotating pundits who categorize that week’s pop culture news into the four quadrants employed by the magazine: Highbrow Brilliant, Highbrow Despicable, Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable. Bravo (which, by the way, fits somewhere between the Lowbrow Brilliant and Lowbrow Despicable on the grid) says that “celebrity guests” (translation: Bethenny Frankel) will visit the show to offer their own opinions on news. Best Week Ever , anyone? [ The Wrap ]

So How is the Icelandic Volcano Screwing Up Hollywood Today?

How do you say “international clusterf*ck” in Icelandic? That’s easy: Eyjafjallajokull. This language lesson is brought to you by the country’s volcano of the same name, whose ongoing eruption has frozen air travel into, out of and around much of Europe. And today, by extension, the movie business is experiencing a bit of a pinch.

Is America Really Sick of Getting Bret Michaels Laid?

VH1 has spent three seasons trying to find love for Bret Michaels, the former Poison vocalist whose blood bleeds bandanna-patterned. In numbers, that means that MTV’ s sister channel has pumped out 40 episodes in which 68 contestants with exotically spelled names like Ambre and Destiney found maybe 3,000 kinky ways (including rollerblading with strollers) to incite Bret into purring, “That kinda turned me on.” And while Bret did find one woman he liked enough to get her name tattooed on his neck, he never found that “true love” that he was after. Dejected, VH1 announced this weekend that it is giving up on Rock of Love to pursue other reality projects, but is America ready to break-up with reality’s rock-star Romeo? Movieline investigates after the jump.

Did Gwyneth Paltrow Actually Say That? Take Movieline’s Quiz!

As the cover girl for the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar , Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up in yet another amazing interview full of juicy quotes, revelations and vaguely out-of-touch-with-humanity observations about life in general. Despite the troubling disclosure that the actress is no longer attached to play Nicole Kidman’s wife in the transgender-trailblazer biopic The Danish Girl , there is plenty else here to get truly excited about — all phrased in Paltrow’s inimitable, “Did she actually just say that ?” patois. No, really — Movieline wants you to choose the real Paltrow snippets from the quotes after the jump. No prizes for high scorers, alas; this luxurious zen is all the reward you can really expect.

Matthew Weiner Says Mad Men Is Half-Over

Good news: You don’t have to worry about watching Don Draper run around the ’70s wearing bell bottoms. Bad news: Mad Men only has three seasons left! Or so sayeth creator Matthew Weiner, who told the National Association of Broadcasters that his series won’t go past six seasons. No truth to the rumor that in the wake of this announcement, AMC executives have asked Frank Darabont to set Walking Dead in the ’60s. [ The Weekly Blend ]

EXCLUSIVE: The C-Word Defends Itself Against The Kick-Ass Controversy

You’ve followed about the critical feuds and read the think-pieces about how this weekend’s most talked-about debut at the multiplex, the hyper-violent, mega-profane Kick-Ass , is poised to offend American moviegoers’ delicate sensibilities. But until now, you haven’t heard from one of the film’s most controversial players, one that’s been squarely in the center of the firestorm. And so Movieline reached out to the C-Word itself to chat about how it’s being portrayed in the overheated media coverage of a movie masterfully engineered to delight fanboys while giving cautious parents’ naughty places an inappropriate squeeze.
