Dancing with the Stars’s Winner: Do We Jive in Approval?

Posted on May 26, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The dance critic prefers Nicole Scherzinger. The primed athlete wants Evan Lysacek. The underdog backer votes for Erin Andrews. But America’s voters are mostly none of those things, so what matters when it comes to selecting the winner of Dancing with the Stars ? Being liked, that’s what. Last night, DWTS crowned its 10th season champion and closed a cycle full of expert tangos and perfect quicksteps. Point totals give Nicole the lead, but did America think her Pussycat Doll antics were too tacky for such a refined contest? We post the crowning moment and commentary after the jump.

The rest is here:

Is Jerry Bruckheimer the Hollywood Screenwriter’s Best Friend?

Posted on May 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

From career semi-retrospectives to cement-disfiguring rituals outside the Chinese Theater, the build-up to this weekend’s Prince of Persia release has been quite gratifying for Jerry Bruckheimer. But an interesting tandem of news items circulating today make a case for the megaproducer’s least-celebrated attribute (if you believe it): This guy is great with writers!

Zac Efron Delays Girlfriend’s Movie

Posted on May 25, 2010 by | 1 Comment

Dating Zac Efron may have a downside. When his ghost-whispering weepie Charlie St. Cloud got moved up to July 30, the actor was suddenly locked into a game of movie chicken with his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, whose Beastly was set for the same date. Now, Beastly has blinked, and the film’s been pushed back (potentially to 2011). Will this ease tensions in the Efron-Hudgens household? Honey, Vanessa still hasn’t forgiven him for that whole bronzer-stealing incident. [ Coming Soon ]

Detroit Mayor Bans Cameras from Police Raids

Posted on May 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

In response to the death of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones — who was killed during a police raid with a camera crew for the A&E series The First 48 in tow — Detroit mayor Dave Bing banned all reality show camera crews from police ride-alongs. Said Bing: “When we found out [that a camera crew was on the scene], I immediately called [Police Chief] Warren Evans and [deputy mayor] Saul Green and [said], ‘That’s the end of that.'” [ The Detroit News ]

Dancing with the Stars Finale, Part I: Who’s Tapping Towards Victory?

Posted on May 25, 2010 by | Leave a comment

We’re just nanoseconds away from Dancing with the Stars ‘s 10th season finale. Who’ll walk off with the life-size platinum sculpture “Bruno Tonioli Descending a Pile of Thai Men”? Could it be Nicole Scherzinger, the reliable Pussycat Doll? What about Evan Lysacek, who has the personality of a Felix the Cat clock? Or could ESPN personality Erin Andrews come from behind with a victory? We’ve posted their two performances (a “freestyle” and a “redemption” dance, where the contestants retry a flub from earlier in the season), put in our two cents, and rewritten the judges’ comments for your pleasure. Spoiler: A certain Olympian goes a little Tonya Harding in the membrane.

This Week On Cable: Raceploitation Cinema That Machete Could Learn From

Posted on May 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

While Arizona strives mightily to legislate Mexicans out of existence, and we discover all over again that our country is hardly “post-racial,” your week’s prime choices on cable cover the multicultural gamut. Sure, race cinema can be righteous and dull, but it can also be Brotherhood of Death …

Crystal Bowersox’s Pre-Idol Busking: A Star Pulling Out of the Station?

Posted on May 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Tomorrow’s American Idol showdown may have a new frontrunner in the momentum-accruing Lee DeWyze, but no one can claim GrizzLee Bore deserves the win, right? Crystal Bowersox, Lee’s resilient competitor, has given so many great consecutive performances that many voters are just used to her talents. Thus, the brigade to ensure Crystal’s victory begins here, with these two videos of Mama Sox performing next to an open guitar case at a Chicago train station. Unlike Lee, she’s still just as much of a star even when a Metra is passing behind her at 100 MPH.

Weinsteins Won’t Reclaim Miramax

Posted on May 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Harvey and Bob Weinstein have been working steadily over the last few months to regain their old haunt Miramax from Disney, but the LAT says the deal has fallen apart. Among the sticking points: the Weinsteins’ final bid, $625 million, wasn’t quite as high as Disney wanted. Ugh, now the brothers will have to use that money to actually release the films they have on the shelf. They hate having to do that! [ LAT ]
