Monk: USA TV Show to End After Eight Years, No Season Nine
17 November 2008 12:05 PM, PST | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news
Good news and bad news for fans of USA's Monk TV show. The network has renewed it for an eight season but has also announced that there won't be a ninth year of dysfunctional sleuthing.
Monk tells the tale of Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), a brilliant San Francisco detective who, after the death of his wife in a car bomb, has a nervous breakdown. After being a recluse for three years, Monk returns to the force, barely able to control his obsessive- compulsive disorder. Monk's many phobias make it difficult for him to function but, because he's hyper-aware of the world around him, he's an incredibly observant sleuth.
Though they're often irritated by his disorder, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Randall "Randy" Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) utilize Monk's abilities cases get tough. Monk is helped by assistant Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) and later by Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard

The Man Who Wasn't There
1 October 2008 1:07 PM, PDT | From Latemag.com/film | See recent LateFilmFull news
Billy Bob Thornton stars as the barber in a spot of bother in Joel and Ethan Coen’s tale of Very Bad Things.
According to Billy Bob Thornton, he accepted the role of Ed Crane (The Barber) purely on the information that it is a film "about a barber who wants to be in the dry cleaning business." And things certainly seem mundane enough to begin with for this amiable yet incredibly laconic barber with a strangely emotionless marriage and some gently harboured ambitions above his station. Unfortunately for Crane, though, he has been dreamt up as a figure by the Coen’s for this wonderfully all-American neo-noir homage, so some serious dramatic turns on the darker side are to be expected.
One of the greatest aspects to a Coen Brothers’ film is the view through their eyes, their slightly off-key representation of the world we live in, and The

The Boys Band Together on the Emmy Red Carpet
22 September 2008 12:24 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news
The men left all the color to the ladies on the red carpet at the Emmys last night, keeping it tame in their dapper suits and tuxes. True to form, the Entourage boys walked and posed together, while Jeremy Piven and John Krasinski held their own with their hands in their pockets. Diddy hammed it up as usual, and Patrick Dempsey, Jon Hamm, and Neil Patrick Harris added just a little more dreaminess to the equation. Mark Wahlberg took a break from his newborn baby boy to hit the red carpet. While most of them played it safe this time around, bonus points all around to the guys for successfully putting their handsome selves together. To see tons (we're talking hundreds) more photos including Jon Hamm, Christian Slater, David Boreanaz and so many others just read more. Mark Wahlberg Michael C.

Matt Lauer Set to Be Skewered at Celebrity Roast
12 September 2008 12:30 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news
The burning question is, will Matt Lauer still be speaking to them in the morning? Lauer, 50, is slated to be the victim – that is, "honoree" – when the Friars Club gathers at the New York Hilton Oct. 24 and rakes the Today host over the coals, humorously, at its annual celebrity roast – an event noteworthy for wildly uncensored remarks at the expense of the guest of honor. Among those scheduled to appear at the by-invitation-only, not-for-broadcast event include Lauer's predecessor Bryant Gumbel, his former sidekick Katie Couric and the current one, Meredith Vieira – as well as his across-the-channel rival, Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer.

Stars in Rewind: Rainn Wilson in 'Galaxy Quest'
22 August 2008 4:03 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Stars in Rewind
Yesterday, movie theaters everywhere were greeted with the ultimate sight in rockin' sexiness -- Rainn Wilson. Yes folks, The Rocker opened yesterday, and now you can see Robert "Fish" Fishman get kicked out of hard-core band Vesuvius, lose all hope, and then find a new future with his nephew's high school rock band twenty years later.
But before the days of rockers, or fastidiousness on The Office, or even pent-up sexual attraction on Six Feet Under, Rainn Wilson was a space man. Above you can see him as Lahnk, in a deleted scene from Galaxy Quest. As a member of the reactor staff, he has a question for the fish-out-of-water Fred (Tony Shalhoub), and wants a little advisement. Oh yeah, and the guy who introduces him -- Enrico Colantoni.
Whoever would've thought that the Spock-esque dude would hop onto Almost Famous, star in a hit television show,

Stars Support SAG Dissidents
14 August 2008 10:24 AM, PDT | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news
Although they themselves presumably don't have enough time to run for a place on the Screen Actors Guild's national board, a group of prominent actors on Wednesday endorsed a dissident group of not-so-well-known actors who do. The group signed a message to SAG's membership from Sally Field saying that the actions of the union's current leadership had "destroyed" her faith in its ability "to effectively represent our interests as performers." She particularly condemned the leadership's inability to form a united front with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists against the producers. "If this leadership stays in place, the bad relations with AFTRA will persist, and we'll continue to negotiate contracts from a position of division and weakness," she said. Among 49 other actors supporting Field in calling for support of the candidate slate called Unite for Strength were such stars as Alec Baldwin, Ed Begley, Jr., Lewis Black, Peter Coyote, Marcia Cross, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Tom Hanks, Patricia Heaton, Felicity Huffman, Anthony Lapaglia, Rob Lowe, William H. Macy, Ron Perlman, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Tony Shalhoub, Elizabeth Shue, Gary Sinise, Eric Stoltz, John Turturro, Nia Vardalos, and Steven Weber. Previously Unite for Strength had been criticized for its inability to persuade well-known actors to challenge the leadership slate known as Membership First in September's board election.
A Prize Fight

The Emmy awards changed the plot completely yesterday.
Nominations for TV's highest awards were announced yesterday and, for the first time, cable TV - not the traditional broadcast shows - rocked the house.

"Networks like Showtime, AMC and FX didn't just get into the race - they knocked the door down!"
Dramas like "Mad Men," "Dexter" and "Damages" humbled more highly rated shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" which

Emmy to Honor Reality Show Hosts for First Time
17 July 2008 6:10 AM, PDT | From PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news
The TV Academy got a birthday cake for its 60th birthday Thursday morning – while American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway's Heidi Klum and Dancing With the Stars' Tom Bergeron, as well as Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and Survivor's Jeff Probst, all got nominations in the first-time ever category of top host for a reality-competition show.

And the nomination goes to "Pushing Daisies" on ABC, a series that really cleaned up in a lot of the comedy series categories of this year's prime time Emmy awards earning 12 nominations. While many of the show's nominations were in technical categories, there also were a few key nominations including Lee Pace for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and Kristin Chenowith for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Pace, who plays Ned in the ABC series, has some stiff competition including Alec Baldwin from NBC's "30 Rock," Tony Shalhoub from USA's "Monk," Steve Carell from "The Office" on NBC, and Charlie Sheen from "Two and a Half Men" on CBS. Chenowith also will have her work cut out for her. She faces Jean Smart from "Samantha Who?" on ABC, Amy Poehler from ...
