This Week On Cable: What Patrick Wilson and the Beverly Hills Chihuahua Have in Common

There are a large number of indies and classics laying siege to the wire-waves this week on cable, and there’s really no better show in town unless you’re planning on putting one on yourself — nude but for a clown nose, beginning a conga line down Main Street and hoping others will join in. Or not.

Gary Coleman’s Ex-Wife Shops Death Photos and $50,000 Interview

On May 28, Shannon Price instructed doctors to remove her husband, Gary Coleman, from life support — only the Diff’rent Strokes star was actually Price’s ex -husband, and the controversial decision set a series of murky developments into motion. Just hours after Coleman’s death, an incriminating 911 call surfaced where Price resisted helping the actor after he suffered a devastating fall for fear that she would be “traumatized,” and now Price is at the center of a scandal involving a gruesome “death photo” that is being shopped of the actor for upwards of $10,000.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Star Teresa Guidice Owes $11 Miillion

As the song says , money can’t buy you class — but it can buy you a bunch of crap you can’t possibly afford as long as you put it on credit. According to bankruptcy records filed in Newark on Friday , Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Guidice and her husband, Joe, owe creditors around $11 million in liens, foreclosures and unpaid bills — including $12,000 to a fertility clinic. The Guidice’s have already seen both their $1.8 million 5-bedroom mansion and $279,000 4-bedroom Jersey Shore home taken by lenders and they defaulted on their Escalade. Stay classy, Teresa.

The Flipped Trailer: Stand By Me

It’s been a while since a movie trailer was able to use Sha Na Na, The Crystals and The Rascals as irony free music cues, so for that reason alone you should be interested in Flipped . That it could also possibly be a return to form for director Rob Reiner — legitimate question: when was the last time he made a good movie? — and will likely make you cry tears of happy are only added bonuses. And hey, is that Aidan Quinn?

Why Fox Searchlight’s ‘Movies For Black People’ Experiment Failed

Give Fox Searchlight some credit, I guess, for attempting to navigate one of the more challenging markets in contemporary film: the “urban market,” i.e. movies targeted toward minority viewerships, particularly African-Americans. And now that most signs point to the company’s retreat from that same market after a few conspicuous underperformers, go ahead and ask: What went wrong?

Life & Times of Tim Cancelled — for Now

After two seasons, HBO has pulled the plug on The Life & Times of Tim . But hope isn’t lost for fans of the animated series: Producing company MRC is rumored to have shopped the series to Comedy Central, Adult Swim and TBS. If any HBO cartoon deserves a second life, it’s this one — and I hope the folks at the overrated The Ricky Gervais Show know it. [ Deadline ]

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

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.)

Brett Ratner to Make Snow White Edgy

Since Hollywood is running out of 1980s television series to pillage and plunder for big screen glory, why not turn to the 17 80s next? Fresh off the success of Alice in Wonderland , studios are already planning reboots of Cinderella and The Great and Powerful Oz — and now comes word of Snow White getting the makeover treatment. But before you take a bite out of that forbidden apple and end it all, just remember: This isn’t your grandfather’s Snow White . Right, producer Brett Ratner?
