Sesame Workshop Cites ‘Parent,’ ‘Care-Giver’ Demos in Katy Perry Snafu

This just in: ” Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street , which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube.” Thank God, because the comments are hilarious . [ Sesame Workshop ]

Dustin Lance Black on Hoover: ‘There Are More Contradictions’ — and DiCaprio’s In

Reports yesterday that Clint Eastwood approached Joaquin Phoenix to play the G-man object of affection in Hoover stimulated a new flurry of rumors about the project, from whether Leonardo DiCaprio is actually set to play the father of the FBI to whether Eastwood or Phoenix can attract enough studio confidence after their respective fall fizzles of Hereafter and I’m Still Here . The jury remains out on Phoenix, but as Dustin Lance Black told Movieline last week, don’t worry about the power duo at the top.

A Post-Mortem on American Idol’s Predictable — Yet Disastrous — Press Conference

American Idol ‘s live event at the Forum to announce the show’s two new judges was…hmm? Unsurprising at best? A glitchy nightmare at worst? Yep, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez formally entered the Idol fracas, and both of them looked as thrilled as, say, we did when Lee DeWyze won last season. So, grim. Let’s see where this all went wrong.

Get Ready to Explore Even More Layers in Inception Video Game

At a Rome press conference for Inception , director Christopher Nolan unveiled plans to develop an video game version of the blockbuster that will explore “all kinds of ideas that you can’t fit into a feature film.” No word on whether these ideas involve mind-bending dream puzzles or just more snow-mobile chases and shootouts with faceless goons in the Arctic. Still, if Nolan oversees this it may change the tune of those who dismiss video games as a lesser art form and encourage more major directors to explore the medium. [ Hollywood Reporter ]

On DVD: With 15 Extra Minutes, Seeing Robin Hood is Even More Disbelieving

Only about 10 million Americans resisted the critics’ irritated wailings and bought tickets for Ridley Scott’s mastodon movie Robin Hood this spring, and so the rest of us, now that the DVD is here, can find out what all the non-fuss was about. Even with 15 extra minutes thrown in for “the director’s cut,” it’s truly not an awful movie — it’s just so hugely redundant of other movies, and so brutally humorless, that when you watch it your brain begins to react like it’s trapped in a sensory deprivation tank.
