Who's Going To Be The World Series Mvp? Forget A-Rod or A. J. Burnett, Give Me Willie Mays Hayes!
2 November 2009 3:30 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
So the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez was last night's World Series hero, knocking a ninth-inning double for the go-ahead run and a 3-1 series lead against the Phillies. In tonight's Game 5, A. J. Burnett looks to mirror his one-run gem from last week as he takes the mound at Citizens Bank Park. With the Yanks possibly locking up the Fall Classic in a matter of hours, either of these guys could end up nabbing the series' Mvp award. Or the Phils could stage a comeback powered by Game 1 gods, Chase Utley and Cliff Lee.
Whatever happens, though, I know one thing: I detest both these teams because I am a heart-broken Mets fan (is there any other kind?). That's why when I think about ballplayers these days, I tend to think about movies. Cinema has given us some of the best and silliest sluggers and hurlers imaginable, and it is these »

Commercial ad rates on the broadcast networks - nowhere near the riches of 2004
28 October 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
Ad Age's annual charticle on commercial ad rates may reveal that ABC’s FlashForward is commanding the richest, per-30-second ad rate out of all new shows this season ... but it ain't no According to Jim. Say what? Just take a look at the ad rates from only five years ago when Jim -- yes, that benign, so-so rated comedy that stayed on the air for an astonishing seven seasons -- was generating some $204,212 per 30-second spot for ABC. Obviously, the market was a lot better in those days -- you know, when everyone was working for bloated companies while »

How would a Comcast-nbc Universal deal shake up the executive ranks?
1 October 2009 5:05 PM, PDT | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »
The flood of reports that Ge is looking to spin off NBC-Universal and give Comcast control of half of the company doesn't exactly come as a shock if you consider the myriad of problems that continue to plague the entertainment division. The movie division has endured a horrible box office run of late (Land of the Lost, Bruno and Funny People all underperformed for the studio this summer) so rumors have been floating for months that Universal Pictures' co-chairmen David Linde and Marc Schmuger would be replaced. And though the ailing TV division did a little housecleaning of its »

Matt LeBlanc's new series: How you doin'?
1 October 2009 10:16 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Matt LeBlanc is getting a new show? Get thee behind me, thoughts of Joey! The Showtime project, created by David Crane and Jeffry Klarik, follows "a British couple whose hit UK show is turned into a dumbed-down American sitcom starring LeBlanc (as himself)." I...am optimistic, particularly because this has been an otherwise solid week for Friends alums. First, I'm loving Cougar Town almost as much as Slezak is -- Courteney Cox is great in it, and totally not Monica, which is both good (the show needs it) and bad (I loved Monica). Second, Lisa Kudrow sang "Smelly Cat" at »

Friends Star LeBlanc Heads Back To Small Screen
1 October 2009 9:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc is hoping to make TV audiences laugh again with a new comedy - three years after the actor's spin-off series flopped.
LeBlanc will play himself in Episodes - a comedy about the television industry.
The show will follow a husband-and-wife producing team whose hit comedy on British TV is turned into a dumbed-down American sitcom starring the actor.
LeBlanc made Friends fans laugh as Joey Tribbiani for a decade, but failed to find success with his spin-off series Joey, which was cancelled in 2006 after two seasons.
Episodes will begin shooting in London and Hollywood this winter. The programme is set for a 2010 debut on America's Showtime network and the U.K.'s BBC Two. »

Another UK to Us series — but it's not what you think
1 October 2009 5:06 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Just a few months after the news of Prime Suspect being transitioned from the UK to the Us, more news comes about a show that's crossing the pond as well. It's a sitcom, but it's not what you think. In fact, the only show coming over from the UK is a show-within-a-show, and it's not actually a real show. Confused yet?
Matt LeBlanc isn't. He's already set to star in the six-episode series Episodes, set to air on Showtime next year. The series, which will reunite LeBlanc with Friends creator David Crane, revolves around a British couple whose hit comedy in the U.K. is being transitioned into an American sitcom (à la The Office), which will star Matt LeBlanc ("I am so glad I got the part", LeBlanc joked. "Seeing someone else play Matt LeBlanc would have been devastating."). However, Hollywood is nowhere like Britain, and the couple find »
