Court TV does Deep Throat
Zap2it.com gets the scoop on Court TVs newest film project: Deep Throat. Ever since nonagenarian W. Mark Felt came forward as The Man Who Felled Richard Nixon, there's been scramble aplenty to get all the dirt, and apparently, Court TV has just the fix for us media junkies: the made-for-TV docudrama. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the reporters with whom Felt made contact, kept his dirty little ...
Coming back? Chappelle meets with Comedy Central execs
AP wire [via Yahoo! News] pulled this rabbit out of their hat earlier today: Dave Chappelle met with Comedy Central executives (well, mostly Doug Herzog) this past Friday, after his two performances at LA club Improv. There's no word on whether or not Chappelle and CC are making up or permanently breaking up—spokes Tony Fox kept his lips sealed—but hey, at least it's a start. Or a ...
Adam Brody: where was he then?
Here's a little weirdo fact that Adam Brody fans probably already know: he was a villain on Smallville pre-Gilmore Girls, pre-O.C., pre-, well, anything besides Judging Amy and a bit role as Customer #1 in City Guys (anyone remember that series?) So here I am, watching my Smallville reruns when Brody shows up onscreen as Justin Gaines, an art student who's hands were crippled in a hit and run and ...
What's slightly better than Britney and Kevin? Mannequin 2.
"I assume the sun will rise tomorrow, but I know nothing happened on Britney & Kevin: Chaotic." Let's saunter over to Television Without Pity, shall we? Stee writes a unbelievably hysterical skewering of Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, that—in a mere six pages—is one of the most delightful recaps of bad television, ever. After a brief listing of things that are slightly ...
Nip/Tuck gets a face lift
Anyone remember last season of Nip/Tuck, when Doctor McNamara got slashed across the face by the Scary Movie-eque serial slasher? A suave, tempting doc by the name of Quentin Costa showed up to fix his face, given that Julian couldn't operate due to an AIDS scare. Costa et al. made with the jaunty talk, "hey, move on down to Miami," but we didn't think too much of it, until now. TV ...
Previously on Cinematical: Lock up your bellhops
A Tom Cruise bit: he's renegotiating his MI3 deal (a massive paycut? nah.), but what we really care about is how unreliable Arianna Huffington is.Yeah, yeah, Russell Crowe in jail, out of jail. But Cinematical has a different theory on the fiasco, and it involves Jeffery Katzenberg, plus we've got a huge pic of the jailbird!There's a new director on X3: Brett Ratner. He replaces Matthew Vaughn. ...
No more premium cable! FX will do just fine.
NorthJersey.com says what we already knew: HBO shows are great, but with Sex and the City over, The Sopranos likely taking its final breath, and Six Feet Under just not what it used to be, standard cable and even broadcast channels are catching up. FX has Nip/Tuck, The Shield, and the upcoming Steven Bochco series Over There; ABC has us enthralled with Desperate Housewives and Lost. So who needs ...
Variety in 60 Seconds
Michelle Rodriguez (of Girlfight fame) shows up for the second season of Lost after a brief flashback role last May.BBC's reality TV series Monastary, about five men who enter an Abbey for 40 days/40 nights, is a quiet success. Really. They're not allowed to speak.The View, General Hospital, All My Children, and One Life to Live all hit it big on the daytime sweeps. For some reason, I suspect this ...
New Dukes of Hazzard Institute VP
CMT, now proud owner of the Dukes of Hazzard original series, recently ran a fantasy job search to determine the new Vice President of All Things D o' H. Ladies and gents, tip your cowboy hats to Christopher Nelson, a temp worker who will now get paid $100,000 to watch Dukes of Hazzard on CMT and write a blog about it. Cough cough. Ahem. A blog about television, you say? Why, yes! That's right! ...
Fox News abducts your PCS phone
Well, we wish it weren't true. But just when you thought being on the road was an escape from the "Fair and Balanced" commentary at Fox News, Sprint gives them the go ahead to provide news content for their mobile phones. As technology goes, I suppose this is rather cool: watch your stocks take a dive on your mobile phone TV, dial up your broker in a panic and rant like a little girl, ...
