Probing for Dirt in New Celeb Memoirs
9 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Each month, scads of celebrity memoirs come out, and we hold out hopes for juicy tidbits about the loves and lives of the famous. Sometimes they deliver the dirty goods (Frank Langella’s recently released Dropped Names comes to mind, in which he dishes about his affair with Rita Hayworth and salivates over older ladies), but often they are overly circumspect and purged of dirt, with celebrities too reserved to reveal the nitty-gritty. But we continue to dive into these tomes as they are released, determined to see what kind of juicy nuggets we can pass on to you. Vulture went through three of this month’s celebrity memoirs — Sissy Spacek’s My Extraordinary Ordinary Life, Steve Guttenberg’s The Guttenberg Bible (of course), and Garry Marshall’s My Happy Days in Hollywood — to see if we could find any worthwhile morsels for you to chew on.

‘The Seventh Son’ and ‘Beautiful Creatures’ Pushed Back; ‘Robot and Frank’ Dated; ‘Hunter Killer’ Disappears
4 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In terms of scheduling, marketing, financial profit, and general saturation, it always seemed odd that Warner Bros. would release two fantasy films two weeks apart from one another — even if they’re going for different crowds — and, finally, the studio has realized something was up. So, BoxOfficeMojo reports that Richard Lagravenese‘s Beautiful Creatures has been moved back two weeks, and will now open on February 25th, 2013, a slot once reserved for Sergey Bodrov‘s The Seventh Son. That film is undergoing a much bigger shift, having been scheduled to hit on October 18th, 2013.
The former stars Alden Ehrenreich, Emmy Rossum, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Jeremy Irons, and Kyle Gallner; the latter’s cast is comprised of Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, Ben Barnes, Olivia Williams, Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, and Antje Traue.
All things considered, that’s not so bad — almost all of us would even argue that October is »

2012 Tony nominees John Lithgow and Audra McDonald feel the 'thrill'
2 May 2012 2:40 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
TV stars from the 1970s through today were basking in their Tony Awards nominations Wednesday (May 2).
It seemed like a genuine love fest at the Millennium Broadway as actors embraced and congratulated one another for their nominations. Among them: Audra McDonald ("Private Practice"), Christian Borle ("Smash"), Michael Cerveris ("Fringe"), John Lithgow ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), Linda Lavin ("Alice") and Judith Light ("Who's The Boss") all honored for their work now on Broadway.
Lithgow, who plays the waspish, egomaniacal writer Joseph Alsop in "The Columnist," says of his sixth Tony nod, "It does not get old. It is equally exciting and thrilling."
In Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play category, Lithgow competes against James Corden of "One Man, Two Guvnors," Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman," James Earl Jones of "Gore Vidal's The Best Man" and Frank Langella of "Man and Boy. »

Tony awards 2012: what we learned from the nominations
2 May 2012 3:57 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
James Corden's comedy versus Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragedy, Seminar and Alan Rickman left out, but Spider-Man and James Earl Jones left in. Has Tony got it right?
Predictably (for a somewhat predictable season) the Tony nominations announced yesterday invite tea-leaf reading and pseudo-scientific analysis: X was nominated because Y opened too early in the season; Z really deserved the nod a decade ago, so the nomination is a consolation prize, and so forth. Perhaps a little mind-reading is justified, but the truth is probably more banal: extremely close calls and pure laziness or ignorance, not to mention snobbish backlash (see Rebeck, Theresa, below). Nonetheless, here are some things we learned from the nominations …

Tony nominations spread out but 'Once' leads
1 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
The low-tech musical "Once," based on the love story of a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician in Dublin, received a leading 11 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, proving sentiment can sway nominators just as much as special effects.
Two other musicals - "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It" - each got 10 nominations as the Tony committee spread the wealth across 30 of 37 eligible shows. Unlike last year's "The Book of Mormon," no monster single hit dominated the nominations.
"Once," with songs by Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard, was originally a low-budget movie made for about $150,000. The film earned $20 million, thanks in part to an original score that included the sublime, 2007 Oscar-winning song, "Falling Slowly." The musical is a study in how to beautifully adapt a movie to the stage.

The Tony Nominations Are In
1 May 2012 7:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical. »
