CBS Declares War on Skin

If CBS has been looking for an arch nemesis, Skin Central is ready to step up to the plate after getting a gander at their S tandard And Practice Wardrobe Advisory for the 55th Grammys. The memo advises all on camera talent to: “Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure.” Under curvature of the breasts! “Puffy” bare skin! Katy Perry ’s meaty camel toe at last year’s Grammy Awards begs to differ. Perhaps CBS hopes to head back to the Victorian era, where a hint of ankle might turn a gentleman’s humors positively sanguine! Don’t worry skin fans, you can still celebrate “female breast nipples” and “bare fleshy under curves” right here at MrSkin.com!

Fox Developing a Zombieland TV Series and 5 Other Stories You’ll be Talking About Today

Zombies are primetime draws in 2011, dear friends, and that means Zombieland is coming back as a TV series. Hooray? Also in the Broadsheet: Shia LaBeouf gets into a street fight on camera (yikes!) and eyes a “giant” new film role (awww), the Octomom becomes an actress, and a Scrabble competitor plays dirty.

5 Suggestions for Amazing, 3-D Adaptations of Victorian Novels

Remakes often suck — but when they’re total stylistic upheavals of the source material, I’m more optimistic. Would you see a whacked-out, space-age remake of a classic period piece like Little Dorrit ? I would! Or better yet, this weekend’s ridiculous, steampunk The Three Musketeers in 3-D? It puts the “rich” in Richelieu and the “dumbass” in Dumas. I dig it! Ahead, we investigate five other Victorian novels worth revisiting in a fulgent 3-D experience. Put on your special glasses, Heathcliff.

Jay Baruchel and Alison Pill Engaged

“I was going to give her a ring, and I wasn#39;t sure,” Baruchel, 28, says. “I wasn#39;t ready in my heart to say what it was.” But this ring – a 180-year-old Victorian wedding band – wasn#39;t just any ring. “When I gave it to her, I just said, basically, #39;S— or get off the pot,#39; ” he says. “I said, #39;F— it, will you marry me?#39; ” Pill, who#39;s appeared in Milk and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 25, said yes. The two plan to wed in September 2012. Looks like another match mad

REVIEW: Flimsy Princess Kaiulani Serves Up Hawaiian History Lite

Designed to be both essential history lesson and costume weeper, Princess Kaiulani comes up short on both fronts: Deadly earnest intentions and lack of dramatic gumption ensure that the story of Hawaii’s favored daughter remains under-told. Skimping on detail and narrative depth, the film manages to misuse its embarrassment of natural resources — beautiful brown people in Victorian garb, for one thing; the tetchy notion that British colonization suited the Hawaiians better than American imperialism did, for another — in its determination to honor them with a queasy blend of History Channel import and Merchant-Ivory sweep.

Is The Real Housewives of NYC More Effective as an Oral History?

With each week of expert analysis from Movieline’s Julie Miller, The Real Housewives of New York ‘s mosaic of glitz and gaucheness separates into pure shards. Jill’s the problem , Bethenny’s a bit put on , and no one ends up looking like a saint. But perhaps the issue with RHONY ‘s cast is their format: If they were characters in a piece of literature, would we be so cavalier to dismiss them? After piecing together bits from the Bravo blogs, it turns out we have the makings of a Victorian bildungsroman on our hands.
