If the career of Christopher Nolan is any indication, we’ve entered an era in which movies can no longer be great. They can only be awesome, which isn’t nearly the same thing.

Tonight, Kathy Griffin joins a rally in Washington urging the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” and she’s not greeted with open arms by some of the bigger movers and shakers. It doesn’t help that she’s associating with the Human Rights Campaign, a group that’s garnered more skeptics than subscribers recently. Will Kathy make a dent on D.C., or will she be dismissed as a slightly more self-aware Salahi ?

The L.A. Times goes overboard with its Inception coverage today , putting the Warner Bros. release on the front page of the business section with a story about how its box-office success is anything but a slam dunk. (Hmm, where have I read that before?) Cited amongst the reasons is the iffy starpower of Leonardo DiCaprio when compared with other A-listers like Will Smith and Brad Pitt. And, as it turns out, both of those actors were considered to lead Inception before DiCaprio signed on. If only! Why not apply this interesting production footnote to the other would-be blockbusters released already this summer? It’s time to recast the failures!

George Steinbrenner, whose 37-year run as the principal owner of the New York Yankees transformed professional sports for better or worse, died this morning after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 80. More than just a shipbuilding magnate turned Major League oligarch, Steinbrenner also became a pop-culture monolith in fairly short order; his penchant for hiring and firing more managers in the ’70s and ’80s than most teams see in a half-century (including Billy Martin five times ) made him a polarizing figure in New York and beyond. And he could thank Seinfeld for at least some of that notoriety.

Just one day after it was rumored that Oprah Winfrey’s Kitty Kelley-fied life would be getting the movie treatment — Viola Davis-as-Oprah, FTW ! — comes word that HBO and Barbara Walters are talking about adapting her biography, Audition , to the small screen. This has riled up ABC executives, of course, since they have been her employer since 1976 — but then again, they can’t offer Babs the sex and violence telling her life story would obviously require. No word yet on casting, but is there any doubt that Betty White will end up leading this thing? [ NYP ]

Maybe all Mel Gibson needs to reinvigorate his career is a potential trip to jail. Not only will Lindsay Lohan have the chance to salaciously wave her butt in front of a German shepherd when her 90-day sentence ends, but she’ll also be an in-demand author. Never mind that LiLo couldn’t be bothered to fully spell out the word ” you ” when she was cursing out the American justice system.

Mel Gibson scored his first major defender today in Whoopi Goldberg, who says she’s spent enough time with the disgraced actor to know that his racial slurs that have come to light are misleading . “I don’t like what he did here, but I know Mel and I know he’s not a racist,” Goldberg said on The View . That didn’t sit well with Joy Behar — or most people in the entire world, I’m supposing. Video after the jump, God help us.
