Send in the clownish final challenge! Project Runway became annoyed with its restrained workroom dramas last night and defibrillated itself with 1,000 CCs of peanuts ‘n P.T. Barnum ‘n pettiness. Read: This episode is a triumph! After the jump, let’s rip and romance the episode that may have been The Greatest Show On Earth for all of season seven.

What the Shrek is happening to our motherShreking kids movies, y’all? The new posters for the ogre-riffic blockbuster sequel make oddly tart references to vulgarities, punning like Dorothy Parker on famous four-letter words. Is this a clever marketer’s way of seeming “edgy,” or simply an explanation that Princess Fiona has made friends in the courtyard with Nurse Jackie ?

Sprechen Sie Deutsch , Tony Scott? Nein, nein, nein. The director is reportedly circling the thriller Potzdamer Platz as his next film, with a cast of Javier Bardem, Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke in talks for the story of a New Jersey crime family going international. And about that name: “By the time the picture pulls together its financing and distribution for a fall start, it will probably have a new title.” Noooo kidding. Also: Someone will no doubt have replaced Javier Bardem. [ Deadline ]

If you’re not familiar with writer-producer-director Morgan J. Freeman, here is a primer: The multi-hyphenate’s debut feature, Hurricane Streets , starring Edie Falco and Brendan Sexton III ( Welcome to the Dollhouse ), was the first narrative project to win three awards at Sundance in 1997. Freeman went on to direct other films including Desert Blue and American Psycho 2 while launching a successful career producing reality television shows for MTV. His first series, Laguna Beach , spawned two spin-offs and two years ago, Freeman created 16 and Pregnant , which has already spun off another successful social commentary series for MTV, Teen Moms . Movieline caught up with Freeman recently to discuss how 16 and Pregnant has been a “dream come true” for his inner storyteller, why the series hits home with so many audience members and how all of his projects — scripted or not — are related.

Tyler Perry returned to his message board Tuesday to thank his fans for making Why Did I Get Married Too? the nation’s second highest-grossing film of Easter weekend — a distant second, alas, behind Clash of the Titans . It wasn’t supposed to go that way, of course; Married once upon a time had April 2 all to itself (despite formidable-ish competition Miley Cyrus) before Warners required an extra week to release the Kraken in underwhelming 3D. That move ended Perry’s No. 1-opening streak at two films, thus prompting the mogul to passive-aggressively contemplate what could have been.

Visitor High Commander Anna might be a charming diplomat by day and a conspiring, human-skin-coated reptile by night in ABC’ s V , but we’re beginning to realize she’s also sort of a modern-day Confucius, offering up such applicable gems as “deliver a villain and a hero will present itself.” Click through to read Anna’s maxim from Pound of Flesh that might as well fill your fortune cookie.

Remember that episode of The Office from earlier this season when Dwight dressed as some made-up superhero named Recyclops and the entire thing felt like some contrived and not-so-thinly-veiled attempt to get you to recycle more? It was! And with Earth Day just around the corner, don’t be surprised to see another appearance. Lest you think movies are the only place where rampant product placement has run amok , the pioneers of idiocy at NBC Universal have taken things one step further. Say hello to behavior placement.
