Is Kimmel pulling a Letterman?

12 October 2009 2:33 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

It's official, "pulling a Letterman" means sleeping with a co-worker. Why? Because I said so.

It seems that ABC's late night host Jimmy Kimmel has been in a relationship with a member of his staff as well. This time, the host has been dating the show's head writer Molly McNeary for "several months."

This forced Fox News to pose the question if Kimmel is "pulling a Letterman" and ask if he should be forced to apologize on the air to Ben Affleck. That normally would be hilarious if Fox News didn't handle all of their news with the same level of integrity and tact.

And yes, I'm jealous they came up with that line first.

The worst movies ever to grace the screen

8 September 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

A few weeks ago, I called Sandra Bullock's rom-com, All About Steve, part of her comeback tour. Boy, did I get that wrong.

What I didn't know at the time was that All About Steve has been collecting shelf dust for two years, because the movie's financial backers didn't know what to do with it. After Bullock's stellar box office showing in The Proposal and Bradley Cooper's surprise success in The Hangover, the good folks who brought us Miss Congeniality 2 decided to go ahead and release Steve.

It came out Friday to the worst Rotten Tomatoes ratings I have ever seen in my life.

It was late afternoon on Friday before it moved past a zero percent approval rating.

Still, Steve brought in over 13 million dollars on opening weekend (though there is no record of how many people demanded their ten bucks back after the movie was over). So, »

Bringing Back Heathers

27 August 2009 7:32 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

The people at Twentieth Century Fox are racking their brains in order to make a more updated version of the 1988 film Heathers. The original starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and was directed by Michael Lehmann (Because I Said So). The story centers around a girl who half-heartedly tries to be part of the “in crowd” of her school meets a rebel who teaches her a more devious way to play social politics.

Fox plans to twist around the story and expand it into a TV series of sorts. They work along with Lakeshore Entertainment who currently hold onto the rights. Sex and the City producer Jenny Bicks hops on board helping out script writer Mark Rizzo put together the eighties film onto the small screen. If you are curious as to how the original goes, here’s the trailer below.

Piper Perabo joins the CIA in USA's "Covert Affairs"

3 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Since winning our lesbian hearts over in films like Imagine Me and You (and possibly farther back, if you loved the dramatics of Lost and Delirious or the bar dancing in Coyote Ugly), Piper Perabo hasn't always made the best career choices.

There was that awful waste of a great cast, Because I Said So, where she starred as one of Diane Keaton's daughters, alongside Mandy Moore and Lauren Graham. (Yes, it still sucked.)

Then there was Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Enough said.

But now I'm feeling as if Piper is back on the right track, as The Hollywood Reporter writes that she's been cast as the lead in the new show Covert Affairs. She'll play Annie Walker, as an ass-kicking CIA trainee who speaks six languages and "excels at any endeavor she undertakes." Yes, that sounds like a great role her.

The show will be a pilot for the USA Network, »

Moore Keen To Shed 'Wallflower' Image

7 April 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Singer/actress Mandy Moore is desperate to break away from her girl-next-door image - because she's struggling to land decent movie roles.

The clean-living star is known for family-friendly films like 2007's Because I Said So and 2006's American Dreamz.

She has taken a break from her acting career to focus on her music, but admits she has not starred in a movie since 2007's License to Wed because she keeps being offered the same boring roles.

And Moore is calling on casting directors to give her a chance to prove she can take on edgier projects, insisting she'd "work (her) a** off" to get it right.

She tells Marie Claire magazine, "That won't cut it anymore. I don't want to be a wallflower. I don't want to be shy. Give me the opportunity to get in the room and have a conversation as to why I know I can do this.

"It's Ok that you see me as this person, but I'm an actress, and I'll work my a** off to play the part."

But that doesn't mean Moore will take on just any role: "It has to be right. I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, for what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?

"I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff." »

Can Harrison Ford Pull Diane Keaton Out of Her Rut?

5 March 2009 7:03 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

If there is one career trajectory that really pains me, it's Diane Keaton's. Annie Hall has fizzled over the years, moving from excellent Woody Allen fare, to cute wedding-themed work with Steve Martin, to comedies that barely break 5/10 (Because I Said So, Mad Money). She's got a whole lot more in her than 50% flicks, but it's become easy to forget these days. We've wondered what would happen if she re-teamed with Martin for not one, but two new films, and now there's another name being thrown into the mix -- Indiana Jones.

One of the latest deviously brief Twitter clips coming from Production Weekly says: "Diane Keaton will join Harrison Ford & Rachel McAdams in the comedy Morning Glory, Roger Michell will begin filming in New York this May." This is that TV Talk show project I mentioned last year, which focuses on a "Ted Koppel mold" anchor (Ford) who »
