What People Do for Oprah: Hugh Jackman Injured in Zipline Stunt

Oprah Winfrey is really enjoying her time in Australia. When she isn’t sailing around Sydney Harbour with close friend Russell Crowe — or shopping at local gift shops — she’s putting Hugh Jackman in grave danger. Well, not really: The Australian National Treasure received a cut above his right eye while taking part in a zipline-stunt-gone-bad at a taping of Oprah’s Ultimate Australian Adventure on Tuesday. “That was so much fun,” said Jackman, “until the end.” Let’s hope that isn’t one of the taglines for Real Steel .

Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker: ‘What To Get the Man With No Neck’

Don’t you just love sitcom holidays? Let’s review the awful zingers.

Will a Rise in Cyber-Terrorism Make Thrillers and Action Films Boring?

So, yes, a group of anonymous hackers broke into Gawker’s system and compromised the security of up to 1.3 billion users in what some are calling one of the largest attacks on a media site to date. But, depending on your level of paranoia, it gets worse. Others have argued that this attack – taken with the recent attacks on Visa, Mastercard and PayPal in response of Wikileaks reprimands – signals a new era of cyber-terrorism where small groups can wreak mass amounts of havoc at will. After taking all of this in, I did what I usually do when the news unsettles me a bit: I thought about movies. Then I realized that a sharp rise in cyber-terrorism will probably ruin movies too.

The 10 Best TV Episodes of the Year

It’s easy to lump together the year’s best TV: The finest dramas teemed with catastrophic violence and incomprehensible human loss; the best comedies jutted with madcap fun and frankness. The ten best episodes of 2010 are all unforgettable — in fact, they’re difficult to rank — but there’s no doubting the power of their characters, timing, and place in our continued “golden age” of television.

What’s Left to Discover on the Black List?

No sooner had the 2010 Black List been announced this morning than the griping began. First came the instant message from a frustrated screenwriter pal: “at least there’s no f***ing sorkin.” Then a steady trickle of bile puddled at the bottom of Deadline’s coverage , where commenters amassed to judge, nitpick and/or hate on everything from Hollywood’s taste to the prowess of certain producers and agents at gaming the system for this very moment. And, of course, the old, bitter chestnut: “It would be great for Leonard to solicit a more refined list of most liked scripts that truly are unproduced — no producers attached.”

Who Scored Big in Week Nine of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

A strange thing has happened over at 30 Rockefeller Plaza during this season of Saturday Night Live : Bill Hader has usurped Kristen Wiig as SNL ‘s go-to cast member. Oh, sure, Wiig has had her fair share of sketches this season, but it’s becoming increasingly evident that the Man Who Plays Stefon has put the show on his back. Hader wasn’t number one on the Revelancy Poll this weekend, however, but it’s a rare week when he does not appear in the top-five. For reference, this is not one of those weeks.
