'Two and a Half Men' Season 10 picked up with Ashton Kutcher signed on
12 May 2012 3:09 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
CBS has officially picked up a 10th season of "Two and a Half Men," having secured new deals with its three leads. Ashton Kutcher will be returning, as will Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.
Because Kutcher initially only negotiated a one-year deal with Warner Bros. TV, the studio entered talks with him to extend his stay into next year. Reportedly, Kutcher's new salary is in the $700,000 per episode range. Cryer makes slightly less than that, and Jones makes about $300,000 per show. Jones, who turned 18 in October, was for a time the highest paid minor on television.
This week, the show aired its landmark 200th episode, which featured Jason Alexander as a guest star, playing Alan's doctor. The finale airs this Monday at 9 p.m. Est. »

Evan Rachel Wood's Tears Over Controversial North Carolina Bill
9 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Bisexual actress Evan Rachel Wood burst into tears after hearing a same-sex marriage ban was passed in her native North Carolina on Tuesday, but insists: "I will never give up my right to love."
Voters turned out across the state on Tuesday morning and The Ides of March star rallied support for the gay community by urging her Twitter.com fans to shut down Amendment One, which declares marriage between a man and a woman the only valid domestic legal union.
But Wood, who grew up in Raleigh, was left devastated when it was announced the bill had been passed.
In a series of posts on her Twitter page on Tuesday night, she writes, "Just bent over on set and cried over this outcome. I hope my children see a more peaceful and tolerant world. I hope we will be heard.
"If you choose to stay in the dark ages you will never grow, never fully love, and never live your life to its full potential. I will never give up my right to love. Not for any religion. Not for any god. To give that up means giving away our soul. And your soul was a gift from god. Peace out."
Wood wasn't the only star outraged by the ruling - Mia Farrow declared: "Shame on North Carolina... the disappointment we feel now is nothing compared to the bewilderment & shame your children will feel", while gay country star Chely Wright simply stated, "Heartbreaking and painful."
Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears was more outspoken, raging: "Sorry Mom - but f**k you, North Carolina. You're on the wrong side of history. Absolute fools."
Roseanne Barr urged, "Hollywood withdraw your productions from Nc!" and actor Jason Alexander told his fans, "I assure you, the next generations will not agree with this decision. It's a throwback, in my opinion."
Sandra Bernhard tweeted, "North Carolina Passes Gay Marriage Ban. time will not stand still, now you're just going to have to catch up. so sad for you", and comedian Patton Oswalt took to his Twitter page to declare, "Always had great shows in Nc. Lots of nice people there. This time, the ignorant & fearful yelled louder. It'll change." »
Two and a Half Men 9.23 "The Straw in My Donut Hole" Review

Two and a Half Men 9.23 "The Straw in My Donut Hole" Review
It was the 200th episode of Two and a Half Men, according to Chuck Lorre's vanity card, and it involved some classic Alan Harper mooching. In last week's episode, Alan suffered a minor heart attack and was visited by a female version of his dead brother. This week, Alan is home from the hospital and everyone—except Zoey—wants to make sure he has everything he needs.
Walden wants to cater to Alan's every need, partially because he's sweet and partially because he has witnessed a ton of unexpected deaths throughout his life. Throughout the episode, Walden brings up a multitude of stories about the weird and wacky deaths of his family members—face down in his Legos, at an Easter egg hunt, death by fireworks, falling down an elevator shaft, etc. He has a lot of guilt weighing on him, »

Two and a Half Men Review: Team Not Zoey
8 May 2012 5:28 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Last week, the ghost of Charlie Harper came back to haunt Alan. This week, it was Zoey who caused the guy problems, as she decided to launch her own attack against Alan, making me totally agree with him: she has to go.
"The Straw In My Donut Hole" dealt with the recuperating period after Alan’s faux heart attack. He was showered with love and gifts, which - as avid fans know so well - isn't exactly the norm for this character. As Berta said, with the quote of the night:
I try not to insult people who can come back and haunt me. | permalink
Everyone felt guilty about the way they had behaved toward Alan, so he decided to right those numerous wrongs.
Evelyn fulfilled his lifelong dream of being a cowboy, Judith relaxed on the child support, Lyndsey even "helped" him while he sat back and ate peach »

Jason Alexander Stops By 'Two And A Half Men' For 200th Episode
8 May 2012 1:57 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jason Alexander popped up as Alan's doctor on the 200th episode of "Two and a Half Men" (Mon., 9 p.m. Et on CBS). He gave Alan the worst news a heart patient could ever want to hear. It turns out Alan is in perfect health, as if he'd never had the heart attack at all.
Considering Alan is a world-class mooch, and his friends and family had never been more kind and generous than since he had that mild heart attack, finding out he was now healthy as a horse was like his worst nightmare coming true.
To ensure fans think Alan is as despicable as possible, the rest of the episode saw him taking full advantage of Walden's weak spot for people dying around him. He hit him up for a new room, motorized chair for going up the stairs and even a premium television package. All simply because »

Why did Jason Segel have to lose weight? | Hadley Freeman
1 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
I despair at the news that Hollywood bosses forced the actor to lose 30lbs for his latest film
Contrary to the old saws, most clouds do not have silver linings but in fact have fuzzy cloudy linings and the road to hell is not paved with good intentions. It is paved with a sticky sediment of fire, brimstone, recycled copies of Ok! magazine and Katie Price's hair extensions.
But occasionally one comes across a cliche that is spot on and one such cliche is that two wrongs do not make a right.
I was reminded of this most forcefully over the weekend when The Five Year Engagement, the film starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, was released in the Us. Few romantic comedy actors working today appeal to me more than the sweetly lunkish Segel and the beautiful and hilarious Blunt, both of whom have the three qualities that »

Life after Seinfeld
30 April 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Jerry Seinfeld's sophisticated, strange sitcom inspired a whole generation of comics – so why is there nothing quite like it today?
When Jerry Seinfeld tours the UK and Ireland in May, following last year's £100-a-pop, sell-out show at London's O2 Arena, it will be 14 years since the end of his groundbreaking sitcom Seinfeld, which scrutinised the minutiae and neuroses of four self-serving New Yorkers: smooth-but-prissy standup comic Jerry (Seinfeld), his peppy ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a wired-to-the-mains neighbour Kramer (Michael Richards) and Jerry's best friend, George (Jason Alexander), a man radioactive with resentment and self-loathing.
The final episode aired on 14 May 1998, drawing more than 76 million Us viewers after permeating the country's language and popular culture for eight years. In the UK, viewers had to exercise great cunning to keep up with the show's erratic transmission. For most of its run in the 90s, BBC2 buried Seinfeld in the witching hour »

Alexander Is New Spokesperson For Seinfeld Spot Soupman
16 April 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Jason Alexander has signed on as the new spokesperson for SoupMan - a New York City eatery which famously featured in his hit sitcom Seinfeld.
The funnyman, who played Jerry Seinfeld's best friend George Costanza in the long-running TV show, ate at chef Al Yeganeh's The Original SoupMan restaurant in one of the sitcom's best known episodes.
In the show, Yeganeh is dubbed The Soup Nazi due to his strict rules and Alexander's visit to his restaurant spawns the oft-quoted catchphrase, "No soup for you!"
Now Alexander has proved his real-life love for the cafe by agreeing to serve as the firm's new face.
He tells TheWrap.com, "I think it's great coming full circle with Al's soups. I lined up with New Yorkers for years for his amazing creations. Then we had one of the greatest episodes of Seinfeld ever, somewhat at his expense. But now I get to make amends by helping bring his recipes to everyone... Finally, I get to say 'Soup for you! Soup for everyone!'"
Yeganeh no longer works at the famous hotspot, which has become a nationwide franchise with products sold online and in supermarkets. »

Jason Alexander & The 'Soup Nazi' Team Up

George Costanza and the Soup Nazi have buried the hatchet. "Seinfeld" star Jason Alexander has partnered with The Original SoupMan years after "No Soup For You!" became a pop culture phenomenon.
In "The Soup Nazi," the Season 7 episode of "Seinfeld" that originally aired on Nov. 2, 1995, George famously does not follow the rules at the soup restaurant inspired by Al Yeganeh's Soup Kitchen International and thus, has his soup taken away and is kicked out of the restaurant.
"I think it's great coming full circle with Al's Soups," Alexander said in a statement. "I lined up with New Yorkers for years for his amazing creations. Then we had one of the greatest episodes of 'Seinfeld' ever, somewhat at his expense. But now, I get to make amends by helping bring his recipes to everyone.

A cloud of weed descends on Jason Reitman's live-read of 'The Big Lebowski'
30 March 2012 11:49 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The unmistakable smell of burning marijuana wafted over the audience.
This was the scene at Jason Reitman’s live-read of The Big Lebowski last night, with Seth Rogen on stage recreating the Coen brothers movie alongside Christina Hendricks, Jason Alexander, Rainn Wilson — and surprise guest Sam Elliott, playing the part he originated 15 years ago.
How someone at the reading could get away with smoking a joint in the middle of a packed theater at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is something we’ll just have to ask the boys down at the crime lab. (Maybe the Lapd should »

Among the other stars who took part in the theatre adaptation were Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander, Tara Reid, The Office funnyman Rainn Wilson, Hank Azaria, former child star Frank Savage and comedian Nick Kroll.
Up in the Air filmmaker Jason Reitman directed the play at the Los County Museum of Art on Thursday evening.
The production is the last and final installment of the Film Independent event series, which previously saw staged readings of The Breakfast Club and The Princess Bride.
The Big Lebowski movie, directed by the Coen brothers, was released in 1998. »
Review: Jason Reitman's Live Read of The Big Lebowski
29 March 2012 11:55 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
(Photo to be updated to one from the actual event later, so check back for that if you're interested.)
I've been going to Jason Reitman's Live Reads at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (hosted by Film Independent) for a while now - you can read my reviews of The Princess Bride and Reservoir Dogs if you wish - and they've been great. The Princess Bride was a joy, and Reservoir Dogs took on a new meaning when, during Black History Month, Reitman recast Tarantino's classic with an all-black cast. But with tonight's event, I believe Reitman hit that state of nirvana he's been hoping for since he began this series: that perfect blend of the perfect actors reading the perfect script in the perfect way, and the Live Read has never been better.
This was the last event of the season, until Reitman finishes with his "f »
