Miramax Not Actually Purchased Just Yet

Uh-oh. According to Variety , Disney’s hopeful — and thought to be written in ink — sale of Miramax has hit a major pothole. Apparently Morgan Creek founder James Robinson and philanthropist Jerome Swartz have back out of their “financial agreements,” leaving the deal short of capital. Disney has yet to comment, possibly because they’re too busy trying to get the Weinsteins back on the phone. [ Variety ]

Photo Evidence Suggests Life Imitates Art for Emmy Afterpartier Jon Hamm

The first thing you’ll think of upon seeing these photos of Jon Hamm celebrating after Sunday night’s Emmys — besides how freakin’ meta it all is — will probably be, “Who let the photographer in there?” After that though, simple enjoyment will take over. Ahead compare Hamm’s Sunday night out with Don Draper’s. Enjoy!

Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion Part 1: By the Numbers

Uh, so, who watched the first part of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion last night? It was an emotionally scarring, 75-minute display of primal Jersey rage punctuated by hair touch-ups, crocodile tears, and Andy Cohen’s sh*t-shirring questions . Because it was so spectacularly explosive, profanity-laced, and over-the-top, I decided to recap last night’s trauma by the numbers rather than using Movieline’s standard reality check format (because we can all agree that everything seen last night was very real, beginning with Andy Cohen’s fear). As Danielle would say, I promise this will be very “therapeutical” for everyone.

Batman, Superman, and Darth Vader to Storm L.A. City Hall

It’s been a few months since Batman was arrested on Hollywood Blvd for illegally charging tourists to take his picture , and in that time, he’s assembled a veritable Justice League of fellow costumed heroes to fight back, including, uh, the White Power Ranger, the Hulk, Superman, and Darth Vader. (Does he not know about this ?) They are all set to storm City Hall at noon in Los Angeles today, which should be amazing . Here is their YouTube!

Huge’s Zander Eckhouse on Body Issues and His Surreal Encounter with a 40-Foot David Hasselhoff

Turns out that being the son of a 90210 star doesn’t necessarily mean you believe acting is your calling — just ask Zander Eckhouse (the son of Walsh paterfamilias James Eckhouse), who only recently discovered he loved the work. Ahead of his ABC Family series Huge ‘s first season finale, Eckhouse talked to Movieline about his studly “fat camp” counselor George, working with Jeremy Piven on a new movie, and the incredible statue he helped David Hasselhoff put in his study.

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to January Jones’s Emmy Style

Listen, I am no fashion critic, and Movieline’s “9 Most Scathing” feature very rarely extends beyond the realm of terrible new films . I also know our female celebrities face an endlessly difficult challenge of finding a balance between classic red-carpet appeal and envelope-pushing couture. So in that regard, I tip my cap to January Jones, whose Emmy look in Versace represented an eye-popping embrace of risk, presence, glamour and about 80 or 90 discarded blue mylar balloons. True, Jones’s de-accessorized, bedheaded, train-for-days style had its fans. But its critics are speaking a little louder today, and, well, they’re right. Read on for a noteworthy cross-section.

After all, time is tight — especially when you’ve got Jewel singing! Still, here are three notable names that were left out of the Emmy death montage.
