Cherry Jones Embraces Her Inner Katherine Heigl, Bows Out of Emmy Race

Posted on June 5, 2010 by | Leave a comment

This should surprise exactly no one: After suffering through the final season on 24 with a character arc that was literally made up as it went along — said executive producer Howard Gordon last month: “There was some other mid-season purpose for her, but I can’t remember; even in the beginning, I told her I didn’t have much of a part for her” — Cherry Jones has taken herself out of consideration for an Emmy nomination. Representatives for the 2009 Best Supporting Actress winner won’t say why she dropped out, but that’s probably only because they’re better at this than Katherine Heigl. [ LAT /Gold Derby ]

Will Splice Finally Make the World Safe for Adorable Plush Mutant Dolls?

Posted on June 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

We all know what the Muppets did for Joe Biden , but what might a wincingly cute monster doll do for the new thriller Splice ? How about making it the most adorable bloodthirsty genetic freak in movie history? Seriously, as evinced by actress Delphine Chanéac at this week’s Los Angeles premiere, nothing beats a well-placed plush mutant — particularly one that grows up to become perhaps a little too intimate with its creators/default parents. Even Robert Downey Jr. showed up, and he was the second cuddliest creature on the carpet. OK — third cuddliest, after Joel Silver and Dren the Plush Monster. Where’s mine, Warners? [ IMDB ]

James Cameron Lashes Out at ‘Morons’ After His Help is Denied by BP

Posted on June 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Looks like Sexy Cowgirl will never get her chance to be a hero . The world reacted with bemused cheers the other day when Avatar director James Cameron met with the EPA to brainstorm methods to stop BP’ s oil-gushing leak. What he didn’t reveal until now? BP itself turned down his offers of help. (Just picture Paul Reiser delivering this news to Cameron with sleazy faux-regretfulness after trying to put an alien parasite down Newt’s throat.)

Kristen Stewart Apologizes for Rape Comments

Posted on June 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

After comparing the paparazzi habit of hunting her down and harassing her until they get a picture to rape, Kristen Stewart has been hunted down and harassed by the public until they get an apology. “I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want,'” she told People before admitting, “People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.” [ People ]

McDonald’s Forced to Recall 12 Million Shrek Drinking Glasses

Posted on June 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

No wonder Shrek is green. McDonald’s is being forced to recall 12 million Shrek Forever After -themed drinking glasses because the painted design — which the AP story hilariously calls “cheap” — contains the toxic metal cadmium. And — wouldn’t you know it — cadmium is a known carcinogen that can cause bone softening and severe kidney problems. Good job, everyone! Do you want fries with that? [ MSNBC ]

Is Conan O’Brien Still Worth NBC Ad Rates on TBS?

Posted on June 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

In April, TBS lured Conan O’B rien over to its cable channel with a compensation package worth of a broadcast network star: an estimated yearly salary of $10 million, an 11pm time slot, and ownership of his show. It’s an expensive gamble, but TBS plans to milk its Coco commodity for all it’s worth — and when it comes to the amount they’re charging advertisers, they may have gone overboard.

VIDEO: Bruce Willis Shows Us How to Buy Vodka, Because Why Not

Posted on June 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s wacky celebrity video day! Mere hours after we all hoisted a margarita to Gwyneth Paltrow’s taco-making expertise , here we have Bruce Willis selling Sobieski Vodka for some reason (I’m sorry you didn’t get the call, Leelee). It’s all part of an advertising strategy that somehow warranted a New York Times profile despite adhering to the decades-old gambit of “Hire celebrity to sell product.” Meh. They’re no Seagram’s wine coolers.

Farewell, Old Christine

Posted on June 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Warner Bros. TV has officially pulled the plug on The New Adventures of Old Christine . After CBS surprisingly canceled Christine last month, ABC toyed with the idea of reviving the Julia Louis-Dreyfus series but could not afford the license fee. The network opted out of reviving the other hit that CBS canceled unexpectedly, Ghost Whisperer , last week. [ Deadline ]

The New Dinner for Schmucks Trailer: Table for Two

Posted on June 3, 2010 by | Leave a comment

When the first trailer for Dinner for Schmucks appeared in the spring, it was slightly underwhelming. Or, as underwhelming as something featuring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd could possibly be. Still, it felt like anything but a big summer release. Schmucks seemed like the type of spring comedy that Carell ( Date Night ) and Rudd ( I Love You, Man ) specialize in. How could Paramount make this thing look bigger ? Well how about by adding a Patrick Stewart sound-alike voiceover and Edvard Grieg’s “In the Hail of the Mountain King”! Say hello to Dinner for Schmucks , v.2.0.
