Halfway House: Oh Suzanne-ah
3 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Halfway through the day we freeze a movie halfway through. What do we see?
Doris Mann: Have you known Suzanne long?
Jack Faulkner: Ah, lets see. we've known each other about a month. It seems like longer, though.
Doris: Oh, I know what you mean. I'm her mother and it seems like longer.Fifty minutes into Postcards From the Edge (1990), Jack (Dennis Quaid) has dropped by to pick up Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) for a date. Her mother (Shirley Maclaine) intercepts the man with the bedroom eyes ('and the living room nose and the kitchen forehead'). The performers are deliciously insynch with Carrie Fisher's rapid fire witticisms.
One of the reasons people get so invested in the Oscars is the joy that comes from arguing about whether or not the octogenarian institution got it right in any given year / category. When it comes to Postcards From the Edge, they got it very very wrong. »

Deadgirl Writer Now Set to Show Us How to Chop
26 October 2009 1:20 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Trent Haaga, writer of recent cult film success Deadgirl, just announced his directorial debut with the independent thriller Chop. Chop, a revenge thriller with a comedic edge in the tradition of Fargo and Oldboy, centers on a seemingly innocent young couple forced by a psychotic stranger to confront their duplicitous past.
Haaga optioned the script from co-writer Adam Minarovich, and polished it to be his first directing vehicle after working on 40 independent films as a writer, producer, and/or actor.
The Chop script was a hot property in Hollywood, nabbing its co-writer, Minarovich, a top agent within weeks of making the rounds. Haaga received offers from numerous production companies but secured independent financing after the 2008 Toronto Film Festival premiere of Deadgirl, allowing him to retain creative control of the project.
Chop is being produced by Chad Ferrin and Jeff Hamilton and stars powerhouse Indian actress Tanishaa Mukherji and newcomer Billy Bakshi. »

Slapstick Kids Entertainer Soupy Sales Dies at 83
23 October 2009 11:26 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
He may have been born Milton Supman, but he became Soupy Sales to an entire generation that grew up with his morning kids television show during the 1950s and 60s. He might not have been Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers, but his show was different and it left a mark on those who remember him from those days. Soupy Sales died yesterday in the Bronx at the age of 83.
The best way to describe his show was slapstick goofy and 1960s hip. He had guests like Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine visit his set and he got A Lot of pies thrown in his face. He talked to puppets sometimes, but they were cool and hip puppets. Short of one small incident he avoided controversy and lived his life as a very joyful and happy person according to those that knew him best, as well as those who only watched him on TV. »

Comedian Soupy Sales Dies at 83
23 October 2009 8:58 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Soupy Sales, the boundary-breaking comedian who good-naturedly endured, by his count, more than 20,000 pies to the face, has died. He was 83.
The comic's anything-for-a-laugh pie-throwing shtick became his trademark, and stars including Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Shirley MacLaine took one in the face on the comedian's television show in the early 1960s.
His nerdy cool paved the way for such later comedians as Pee Wee Herman ...

George Lopez Talks The Talk ... Show
20 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | ChannelGuideMag | See recent ChannelGuideMag news »
George Lopez is having a very good year.
The presidential candidate for whom he spent much of 2008 tirelessly campaigning is now in office. His self-titled sitcom is a smash in syndication. His live comedy act sells out arenas. And he was among the first actors signed to Garry Marshall's upcoming Valentine's Day, an ensemble comedy starring a multigenerational who's who of talent from Taylor Swift to Ashton Kutcher to Shirley MacLaine.
So how is he celebrating this string of successes? By hosting a show in which everyone else gets to gab about theirs. Beginning Nov. 9, Lopez plans to reinvent the role of talk show host on Lopez Tonight , airing Monday-Thursday on TBS (HD). And, as he told us, the timing is downright serendipitous.
Congrats on the new gig! Did the show come about on the theory that not everyone is looking to be lulled to sleep at 11pm?

An Education From Oliver Stone
6 October 2009 8:19 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
From left: An Education star Carey Mulligan and Maggie GyllenhaalLast night, after the New York premiere of An Education, Oliver Stone asked me what I thought of Carey Mulligan's hair. As Jenny, the precocious English schoolgirl she plays in Lone Scherfig's film, Mulligan wore her hair long and dark, but she had since cut it pixie-short and dyed it red. Stone has cast her in Wall Street 2, which is currently filming in Manhattan. Having seen her triumphant performance at Sundance in An Education (which took home that festival's top award), Stone had no doubt that she could act, but he was curious to know what people would make of the 'do she'll have in his film. "Some people say it looks like Audrey Hepburn," said Stone, "but it's more Shirley MacLaine" in The Apartment. It was Maggie Gyllenhaal who reccomended that Mulligan chop it all off.

"Valentine's Day" Trailer Shows Stellar Cast, But Why Is Julia Roberts Kissing Bradley Cooper?
3 October 2009 8:40 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Why do I always think Bradley Cooper is up to something when he smiles?
We first told you that Bradley Cooper was going to play a gay man stuck as a seatmate to Julia Roberts' Army doctor back in May, and we had a fantasy casting for his closeted football player boyfriend. We had a lot of good suggestions — that Hollywood chose to ignore for Valentine's Day.
But we didn't argue that much, because they cast McSteamy himself, Eric Dane in the role.
None of the set pics I've seen have Dane wearing a shirt.
They then proceeded to cast half of Hollywood for the movie, including Anne Hathaway, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, and Shirley MacLaine. Now we've got our first look at the movie. Take a look at the trailer:
When did Topher Grace get so hot that Anne Hathaway had to straddle him? »

A Single Actress (Julianne Moore and Oscar)
27 September 2009 10:49 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
There can be only one ...winner, that is.
This year's supporting actress contest (new predictions!), if you believe early hype, is down to Mo'Nique vs. ummmm? She's way out front for her abusive mother role in Precious. But with Julianne Moore's supposedly vivid contribution to Tom Ford's A Single Man newly exciting festival auds, we could see the redhead goddess nab her 5th career nomination. That's quite an honor, even if she never wins that elusive statue.
The Man That Got Away Keeps Getting Away
A couple of years ago I asked readers who the next Deborah Kerr would be. Which modern important actress will be forever appreciated but never fully embraced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences? Back then Kate Winslet was sort of gunning for the honor. Now that the English Rose has noisily moved into the winner's circle, the imaginary competition is back on. »

Mallika Sherawat Back in India
27 September 2009 7:19 AM, PDT | Bollyspice | See recent Bollyspice news »
Mallika Sherawat, the Hissss actress, returned to India hiding behind a burqa in order to avoid the crowds having previously tweeted to her fans, "I will be in Indore. Come say hi my tweeps!" A local press photographer snapped her in the traditional outfit. "I repeatedly requested her to remove the burqa for a while and pose for a photograph, but she did not," he said, "So I took her snap in the burqa itself ."
But Mallika will not be staying in India for long and has established herself very much as part of the social scene in Hollywood. She was recently seen shopping with Shirley MacLaine in Chanel on Rodeo Drive; at a Unicef charity function, in a stunning yellow gown, with Michael York and Billy Zane and will be attending the premiere of Jane Campion's new movie, Bright Star.

Emmys: The Morning After (The Morning After)
22 September 2009 10:23 AM, PDT | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
No, it's not quite the morning after the Emmys but I spent yesterday recovering from a bit too much overindulgence the night before and still wanted to get in my thoughts about this year's Emmy awards before the door for such discussion slams shut. Emmy host is a rather thankless job and we've seen, thanks to last year, just how much the show can go off the rails in the hands of less-than-qualified hosts. However, I thought that Neil Patrick Harris did a legendary job and infused the proceedings with wit, sparkle, and humor and kept things running smoothly. (Did we really only run over by a few minutes? Fantastic.) I spent the evening carousing at two post-Emmy bashes, HBO's luxe red-hewed affair at the Pacific Design Center and AMC's latenight after-after-party at Chateau Marmont. Both fetes were absolutely, ridiculously fun and the stars were out in full-force for both events, »
