Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can’t Use: Did Mitt Romney Plagiarize ‘Friday Night Lights’?

Politicians have long appropriated pop culture to lend their campaigns relevancy and catchy hooks, so it wasn’t unprecedented when Republican nominee Mitt Romney began using the popular Friday Night Lights catchphrase “Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose” in his bid for the Presidency. That doesn’t mean filmmaker Peter Berg has to be happy about it. In an open letter to Romney, Berg — who directed 2004’s Friday Night Lights , adapted from H.G. Bissinger’s book about a small Texas town obsessed with football, and created its subsequent spin-off television series — slammed the former Governor of Massachusetts for using the now-famous FNL line. “Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series,” wrote Berg, who described the citation as plagiarism. Via EW : Governor Romney: I created the TV show “Friday Night Lights” and came up with the phrase “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose.” I was not thrilled when I saw that you have plagiarized this expression to support your campaign by using it on posters, your facebook page and as part of your stump speeches. Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series. The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and “Friday Night Lights” is in the character of Buddy Garrity — who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan. Your use of the expression falsely and inappropriately associates “Friday Night Lights” with the Romney/Ryan campaign. Mitt, we all wish you and your family all the best. We are grateful for your support of our beloved show, but we are not in any way affiliated with you or your campaign. Please come up with your own campaign slogan. Sincerely, Peter Berg. To be fair, President Obama ‘s campaign also used the slogan, albeit less overtly and on Tumblr . I guess that was at least football-related, and therefore more closely aligned with the themes Berg & Co. portrayed in their series. [E W ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .

New Wonder Woman Adrianne Palicki Will Make You All Sticky

Who’s that getting undressed in the invisible jet? It’s Friday Night Light s babe Adrianne Palicki , the newest Wonder Woman! Everyone’s favorite femdom superheroine is back in a new NBC pilot, now re-imagined as a billionaire CEO by day, an LA-based vigilante by night, and the CEO’s secretary some other times. The sadly never-nude Adrianne will be playing all three roles, but all fans really care about is how she’s going to fill out that eagle-emblazoned corset. Adrianne beat our early hopefuls Nadia Bjorlin , Erica Durance , and Charisma Carpenter to play the superheroine created by a man who had a long-term female sex slave living with him and his wife (look it up). 70s siren Lynda Carter , who starred in the confusingly titled 1976 TV movie The New Original Wonder Woman and the jiggle-icious series that followed, tweeted her congratulations to the new gal. Adrianne, while you’re taking over Lynda’s old role, how about re-booting (or re-boobing) her topless performance in the drive-in classic Bobbir Jo and the Outlaw and finally giving us a look at those naked knockers? What’s the holdup on your nude debut anyway? That’s what we wonder, woman.

A Brief History of Your New Wonder Woman, Adrianne Palicki

27-year-old actress Adrianne Palicki is your new Wonder Woman/Diana Prince/Diana Themyscira — but who is Adrianne Palicki? The statuesque Ohio native has been a presence in TV of late, though even her most critically acclaimed shows ( Friday Night Lights, Lone Star ) tend to run into bad luck sooner or later. And curiously, she’s already had more than her fair share of brushes with fantasy/superhero franchises. ( Aquaman , anyone?) Take a look at the brief history of Adrianne Palicki’s acting career thus far and decide if you think she’s fit to fill out Lynda Carter’s pantyhose.

DVD: Nothing Goes Viral Like Syphilis(-Themed TV Movies Starring Cloris Leachman)

If you haven’t already had friends leave you a message on your Facebook wall to get yourself over to Netflix Instant immediately to watch Someone I Touched , a 1975 TV-movie about a syphilis outbreak, let me be the one to tell you. The fact that Cloris Leachman, at 49, plays a pregnant housewife, and that she sings the theme song, is just the icing on the cake of looniness. (Not to mention the fact that Leachman was at that time starring in the spin-off sitcom Phyllis , making one long for the inevitable Sy-Phyllis mash-up.)

Matthew Morrison to Thwart Glee Hair Jokes by Shaving His Head

Sue Sylvester, you may have to think of some new material. JustJared is reporting that in Glee’s second episode back next season — the Britney Spears-themed installment, you’ll remember — Matthew Morrison will pay tribute to Brit-Brit’s famous Tarzana meltdown by shaving his head for the show. But will it stick? Producers are also searching for a body double for Morrison who “must be willing to shave [his] head on camera.” Another suggestion: Maybe Lea Michele could use a stunt double .
