If you’ve turned on the television at all this week — or, gasp, read a newspaper! — the chances are good you’ve familiarized yourself with Steven Slater. Or, as you might know him: The JetBlue Guy. His crazypants story — cursing out an unruly passenger and then exiting the plane via the inflatable emergency exit slide — has become a rallying cry for an unhappy culture of worker bees. Naturally, a movie has to come next, right? Ahead, Movieline picks five directors who would best bring Slater’s story to life.

Josh Brolin to Get Stalked by Charlize Theron in Young Adult?

Young Adult is already lining itself up as a major Oscar 2012 contender before a frame of film is shot: It’s written by Diablo Cody, will be directed by Jason Reitman and currently has Charlize Theron attached in the lead role, a 30-something writer who returns to her hometown to stalk an ex-boyfriend. And who might that boyfriend be? Try Josh Brolin. According to Roger Friedman (salt grain), the Oscar-nominee is circling the project. Yes, please. [ Showbiz 411 ]

Weinsteins Fighting R-Rating For Tillman Story

A week after Adam Yauch went to war ( unsuccessfully ) with the MPAA ratings board over A Film Unfinished ‘s “bullsh*t” R-rating, Harvey Weinstein is appealing (and, of course, publicizing) the same injustice against his Pat Tillman cover-up exposé The Tillman Story .

What’s On: So You Think You Can Have This Last Dance?

We’re nearing the end of So You Think You Can Dance ‘s magical (and slightly tragic, with all the injuries) seventh season. Prepare to say goodbye to Cat Deeley, Nigel Lythgoe, and Mia Michaels’s “disapproval voice.”

On DVD: Colin Farrell’s Straight-to-Video War Wounds

So few movies actually get hoisted into theaters nowadays (a fraction of the number we saw 20 or 40 years ago) that each release seems to have the import and ambition of a moon landing. (Or, they’re made to seem like moon landings, so we won’t want to miss it and get left behind the herd.) This means that some movies with marquee-brand stars end up going straight to video — which used to be the dumping ground for the truly unmarketable but is now simply a B-movie delivery system. There need not be shame any longer if your movie’s road takes you straight to Netflix and Blockbuster.

Is This What Glee’s Radio Silence Feels Like?

“I think people are sick of me, I really do,” Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy told Vulture last week. “I think people are like, ‘Shut the f**k up!’ Even I feel sick of me…I talked to Fox and we talked to the kids and we said, ‘Let’s just go underground for three months. Let’s stop talking about [the show].’ It’s been a concerted effort of mine to give it a breather.” Amen. But have you heard about the Glee plans for Britney Spears , Justin Bieber, Prince, The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson? Because a still-chatty Murphy is happy to tell you.

Autumn Reeser on Entourage, No Ordinary Family and Life During Pilot Season

Autumn Reeser has come a long way from playing the Tracy Flick-like Taylor Townsend on The O.C. The versatile character actress has spent the better part of this summer giving Ari Gold a second ulcer in her recurring part as the foul-mouthed and super-smart Lizzie on Entourage . This fall, she’ll ply her trade at family friendly dramedy in the upcoming ABC pilot No Ordinary Family , a sort of live-action version of The Incredibles . She also does a monthly stage show in Los Angeles and juggles going back to school. And you thought your life was busy.
