The Paley Center Celebrates Lost One Last Time

Posted on May 22, 2010 by | Leave a comment

If you still aren’t sick of hearing about Lost , live in New York City and feel like rolling the dice on the slight chance that you can get overflow tickets to a sold-out event, head over to The Paley Center for Media today at 2. That’s when yours truly will be participating in a panel discussion about Lost with writers like New York ‘s Emily Nussbaum, HitFix’s Alan Sepinwall and Time ‘s James Poniewozik. No truth to the rumor that they’re planning a game of “which of these things doesn’t belong?” with me as a centerpiece. [ The Paley Center ]

Friday Box Office: Unhappily Ever After

Posted on May 22, 2010 by | Leave a comment

What a difference three years — and one really bad sequel — makes. When Shrek the Third opened over this weekend in 2007, it grossed $38 million on Friday; Shrek Forever After , however, could only score $20 million yesterday, this despite the added benefit of higher ticket prices and 3D. Yikes. No reason to start a collection for Dreamworks Animation, but Shrek Forever After will likely wind up around $50 million short of its predecesor come Sunday. Elsewhere, weep for Will Forte. MacGruber grossed an embarrassing $1.5 million on Friday and will be lucky to close out the weekend with more than $5 million. Insert bomb related pun here. The top-five after the jump.

Jane Lynch’s ‘Dragon Lady’ Muse

Posted on May 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Jane Lynch’s character on Glee . Sue Sylvester, may seem like gorgon dreamed from the actress’s imagination, but Lynch says she based her performance on a professor she had at Illinois State University. “We called her ‘The Dragon Lady,’ and she was an acting teacher. When she walked down the hall, kids would part like the red sea. She wore layers, and she flowed, and she was big, had a loud voice. It was rumored she was a lesbian — in the cornfields of Illinois, God bless her.” She also spilled that Glee ‘s season finale would feature Jonathan Groff performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” and celebrity reappearances.

Eliot Spitzer to Replace Campbell Brown?

Posted on May 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The candlelight vigils for CNN’ s kamikaze anchoress Campbell Brown are over, and so it’s time to get down to the business of replacing her at 8 p.m. And if we’re continuing in her spirit of candor, then this is as good an idea as any: Erstwhile NY governor, escort connoisseur and “budding pundit” Eliot Spitzer. “He’s a smart guy, extremely smart. And he communicates well,” an anonymous cable news executive told the NYT . “The question about him is, how much stench is on him, and is he likable enough?” Those are two questions, of course, the answers to which are not much and not really, which of course means he’s a perfect fit on CNN, right?

Should Lindsay Lohan Pull a Polanski?

Posted on May 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

A judge in L.A. today issued a warrant for Lindsay Lohan’s arrest when the starlet failed to show for a mandatory “DUI progress-report hearing.” By now Lohan’s excuse is relatively well-known: She was visiting Cannes and, er, her passport was stolen. Her team says she’s spent the last few days working with the State Department to get a replacement (the U.S. Embassy in France denies this ), while French authorities say she never even reported the original stolen in the first place. As a result of the warrant, says the U.S. Customs Agency, Lohan will be arrested when attempting to reenter the country. Which of course raises the question: Why even bother coming home?

Hey, What’s Justin Bieber Doing in the New Eclipse Banners?

Posted on May 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Apparently, when nobody was looking, Justin Bieber was cast as one of the Volturi in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse . Or maybe it’s just a scowly, (un)dead ringer pictured above at right in the Eclipse banner just released. At left, Eddie Munster seems to have made the cut as well. Congrats to both.

Traveling Carnival Lawsuit Hits Heroes

Posted on May 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

There’s nothing like a $50 million lawsuit to worsen your cancellation woes. Just days after Heroes was axed , graphic novelist Jazan Wild filed a lawsuit against NBC Universal for allegedly basing a Heroes story arc on his Carnival of Souls digital book series. According to Wild, the show’s fourth season violated his copyright by introducing settings, storylines and a carney character virtually identical to those found in his successful three-installment collection.
