It’s the most mythic of all American emporiums – and the scene of many an ultimate fashion fantasy. Now audiences get a rarified chance to peek behind the backroom doors and into the reality of the fascinating inner workings and fabulous untold stories from Bergdorf Goodman’s iconic history in Matthew Miele’s Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’S.
The legend, the parties, the fashion idols, the windows, the women, the buyers and shoppers – and most of all, the quintessentially American dreams of New York’s high-fashion hot-spot – all come to life in an ode to a realm where creativity and commerce reign equally supreme. With a light touch, Miele explores not just the glamour but the passion behind the daily creation of this luxury mecca in a film as dynamic, lush and intimate as the store itself.
The documentary features Giorgio Armani, Candice Bergen, Manolo Blahnik, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, »

When it comes to hosting Saturday Night Live, there are degrees of greatness. Sure, there’s the Five-Timers Club, that posh and exclusive club that meets every year in Gstaad to anoint late-night kings, plot ways to blackmail Bill Murray into making Ghostbusters III, and otherwise control the comedy world — except for NBC’s primetime lineup. But you can sneak into the Five-Timers with one great show and four B- performances. No need for names, but it’s possible to get by on reputation and before you know it, you’re exchanging the club’s secret handshake with Lorne Michaels. »

"Murphy Brown" ended its run 15 years ago on May 18, 1998. The comedy from Diane English starring Candice Bergen lasted 10 seasons and produced 247 episodes and its impact is still being felt today.
The character of Murphy Brown made her TV debut having just returned from a stint in rehab. Unapologetic, quick-witted and hard working, the character was a trailblazer. Candice Bergen won five Emmys for playing Murphy Brown.
In 1992, Dan Quayle attacked "Murphy Brown" for being a single mother. The comments took off and the series even incorporated them into Season 5. "My goal was to get people to believe that Murphy was a real person," series creator English told The Hollywood Reporter during a recent "Murphy Brown" writers reunion. "[T]he vice president blamed her for the fall of Western civilization."
Watch the episode where "Murphy Brown" responds to Quayle's comments here.
"Murphy Brown" had a long-running gag with Murphy's secretaries. Often a little wacky, »

Chicago – Watch out folks, the one percenters are fighting back. After the rabble of the 99 forced their way into Occupy Wall Street territory, the true rulers of America are pushing back in the only way they know how…by shopping. “Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s” is a gloriously vain documentary about a legendary shopping experience in Manhattan. What, The Gap wasn’t available?
Rating: 3.5/5.0
To be fair, this is a harmless celebration of the store Bergdorf Goodman, a place where the highest level of fashion designers sell their wares to drape the nouveau and old money riche. One of the participants offer that yes, this is expensively priced finery, but it gives the dreamers “something to aspire to.” And essentially, they are right. Money changes everything, and no one knows what they would do with it, once it is obtained. Even the freaking counter culture maven Yoko Ono is »

This story first appeared in the May 24 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Twenty-five years after Murphy Brown premiered, eight members of the writing staff gathered for the first time in years. Asked what their lead character, investigative reporter and Fyi anchor Murphy Brown (played by Candice Bergen), would be doing if the workplace comedy was still airing, show creator Diane English is quick with a response. "She'd be doing exactly the same thing. Fyi would still be on the air, the way 60 Minutes is still on the air," she says, noting that the cast simply

“Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s” swipes its title from the caption of a 1990 Victoria Roberts cartoon that appeared in the New Yorker. But nothing satirical or even vaguely skeptical emerges in this slick, flashy kaleidoscope of kowtows to the exclusive Fifth Avenue institution, where $6,000 shoes fly off the shelves and where every designer longs to display his wares. In contrast to recent Tribeca entry “The Director,” Christina Voros’ elegantly composed ode to Gucci and its present-day maestro, this scattershot docu — an undiluted advertisement for this temple of high-end consumerism — jumps skittishly from subject to subject, disjointed and repetitive for all but dyed-in-the-wool fashionistas.
Not that the docu lacks interesting figures or potential structuring points. Bergdorf’s charismatic fashion director, Linda Fargo, described as a warmer, friendlier Anna Wintour, effortlessly commands centerstage for long stretches as she vets new designers’ collections for kindly “maybe later” rejection or “welcome to the family” acceptance. »

Before she was Murphy Brown and the star of such films as Carnal Knowledge, Candice Bergen grew up watching her father Edgar Bergen scratch his way to stardom with his arm up the back of the wooden puppet Charlie McCarthy. She has teamed with James Francis Trezza and Pam Widener to produce a feature film based on her father, based on her bestselling 1984 memoir Knock Wood. Barbara Turner, who was recently WGA Award nominated for scripting the HBO film Hemingway And Gelhorn, will write the script. She reunites with Trezza and Widener after their collaboration on Pollock. Putting an innovative twist on the biopic form, the picture will take the Pov of Charlie McCarthy as Edgar Bergen came of age during the early days of showbiz in America, from vaudeville to the Golden Age of radio, to features and the birth of television. The three-foot tall wooden puppet became a household name, »

Bad news for men aged 65-80 in the New York metropolitan area: Though 71-year-old domestic goddess Martha Stewart apparently considered joining Match.com recently, she never fully took the plunge.
“I had a longtime boyfriend. That ended a couple of years ago. I haven’t found the next Mr. Right,” Stewart told Matt Lauer during a Today show interview that will air next week. “I was even thinking of going on Match.com!” Even more surprisingly, Stewart said that she wasn’t planning to use an alias or a misleading photo on the site — “I want to do my real thing, »

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady in The Brady Bunch, took to Facebook to write a moving tribute to the man who played her television dad, Robert Reed. "Bob was a family man. Had he been allowed to form a relationship with another man, he would have been the best husband ever and might still be alive. But Bob could not be at peace with this because the people surrounding him shoved their own judgment down his throat and, sadly, he bought into it. He thought he was wrong. He felt the shame that every hypocritical 'God is love' fundamentalist wanted him to feel."
I swear, I am not the one who complained about the cat!
Whether they believe it or not, brands have a political affiliation. News Corp. is obviously Republican, and a new study pegs my parent company, MTV, as strongly Democratic, opposite ends of the political spectrum of the brands surveyed. »

New York -- At the show's inception in the mid-1970s, the cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" was known as the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players." That now seems bitterly ironic for the network.
The final numbers aren't in yet, but last weekend's "Saturday Night Live" with Justin Timberlake as host had far more viewers than anything NBC aired in prime time last week. The badly slumping NBC had its lowest prime-time viewership average ever, even counting summer months, the Nielsen company said.
It's the nadir, NBC hopes, of a post-holiday free fall where the network has come apart without pro football and its most popular show, "The Voice."
NBC's most-watched show in prime time last week, "The Biggest Loser," was seen by 5.9 million people. Thirty-six other broadcast programs rated higher. The network's second most popular prime-time show was "The Apprentice," ranked No. 54. The season premiere of "Grimm" had 4.9 million viewers. »

On Saturday night, Justin Timberlake returned to "Saturday Night Live" for his fifth hosting gig, bringing an impressive cast of alums to guest star, including Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, and Candice Bergen. But the moment that all Timberlake fans were buzzing about was one line in Jt's performance of his hit single, "Suit & Tie," with Jay-z.
Rather than performing the song's original line of "S--t so sick got a hit and picked up a habit," Timberlake sang "My hit's so sick got rappers acting dramatic," a move many interpreted as a response to Kanye West. Last month, West slammed "Suit & Tie" during a concert in London, telling the audience, "I got love for Hov, but I ain't f--kin' with that 'Suit & Tie.'"
Timberlake adressed the lyric swap on Monday's "Late Night" with Jimmy Fallon. In the video shown above, Fallon asks Timberlake, "For 'Saturday Night Live,' it »

With Justin Timberlake marking his fifth time hosting the show, NBC’s Saturday Night Live delivered its biggest overnight rating in 14 months.
SNL had a 5.9 in the metered-market households, the show’s best since Charles Barkley hosted and Kelly Clarkson was the musical guest following a primetime NFL playoff game (in other words, that one had a big lead-in).
Saturday’s telecast featured appearances by Dan Aykroyd, Alec Baldwin, Candice Bergen, Chevy Chase, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Martin Short and Paul Simon. For a full analysis of the show, check out EW’s recap. »

The opening monologue of Justin Timberlake's fifth turn hosting SNL --the season's highest rated show--started with the premise that the multi-talented charmer was now inducted into the "five-timers club" for people that have hosted the show on five or more occasions (linked below). The skit begins with Paul Simon strumming a guitar as he welcomes Timberlake into the bar, with Steve Martin looking pleased in a smoking jacket. Dan Aykroyd has a gig as a bartender after only hosting once (he was an original cast member). As the skit continues, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Candice Bergen, Alec Baldwin, and Tom Hanks all saunter in. While their appearances were enough to induce laughs, the comedy icons continued to kill it throughout the evening. Key sketch of the night: "It's a Date." The skit featured the two gentleman who recorded "Dick in a Box" (Timberlake and Andy Samberg) as well as »

Jessica Biel and Justin TImberlake celebrated his fifth time hosting Saturday Night Live last night with an afterparty at NYC's Buddakan. Many of the show's regular performers - including Kenan Thompson, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers - turned out for the bash, as did special guests like Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Jay-z also swung by after joining Justin on stage for a performance of their single "Suit & Tie." Justin's SNL episode was a star-studded affair with cameos from Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Candice Bergen, and many others. Justin's stint on SNL was a huge success - it is SNL's best-rated episode in 14 months, since Charles Barkley's stint hosting in January 2012. View Slideshow › »

Ever wonder what happens behind closed doors at Saturday Night Live? Turns out, there exists a special club for those who've hosted the show five times. As this weekend marked Justin Timberlake's fifth time hosting the show, he was finally invited to throw on a smoking jacket and join the likes of Chevy Chase, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Candice Bergen in the Five-Timers Club. As Martin ushers Timberlake around, he gets served a drink by bartender Fiver-Timer wannabe Dan Aykroyd, while Martin Short (tries) to serve him appetizers. It's kind of like a smorgasbord of comedy stars. Check out the video after the jump. »
