The Croisette will get a taste of Midwestern American sensibilities this year when Omaha native Alexander Payne screens his latest pic, “Nebraska,” in competition. And back in Los Angeles, members of 21-year-old networking group the Nebraska Coast Connection, will be rooting for their homegrown hero to take home the fest’s top prize.
Founded in 1992 by Cornhusker State native and producer Todd Nelson, Ncc provides an opportunity for (mostly) Nebraska transplants working in Hollywood to rub elbows with other industry professionals. The monthly salons began in June 1995 and take place every second Monday at the Culver Hotel in Culver City, Calif.; more specifically, in the former office of Harry Culver — yep, also a Nebraska native.
“The fact that Harry’s office serves as our home, for me, is one of the coolest things,” Nelson says.
On average, the monthly meetings host 30-50 people, though that number can quadruple when notable »

"Wilfred," FX's quirky comedy about a depressive young man named Ryan (Elijah Wood) and the titular canine that he and only he sees as a grumpy Australian guy (Jason Gann) in a dog suit, will return for a third season on Thursday, June 20th. The show will kick off with back-to-back episodes but without "Louie," with which it was paired last year, as Louis C.K.'s series is taking the year off. The change doesn't seem likely to affect "Wilfred" much -- though "Louie" gets more critical attention, "Wilfred" actually slightly outpaced it in ratings last year. Read More: Does 'Wilfred' Have the Best Guest Star Roles on Television? "Wilfred" is an adaptation of an Australian series that was created by Gann alongside Tony Rogers and Adam Zwar, and also features Fiona Gubelmann as Jenna, Ryan's neighbor and Wilfred's owner, and Dorian Brown as Kristen, Ryan's uptight sister. »

Chris Klein and CSI: Miami's Adam Rodriguez star as Detroit detectives investigating gang-related crime who find themselves in a massive fire fight while accompanying an informant - played by 50 Cent - to a pre-arranged meet. Several officers go down, triggering an Internal Affairs probe that reveals via flashback that those apparently on the side of the law aren't always whiter than white. A gun-toting thriller that treads the thin blue line. »

Celebrities are gonna have a field sobriety day with this one ... The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled ... it's unconstitutional for cops to forcibly draw blood from someone who was busted for DUI unless they get a warrant -- or prove a damn good reason for not getting one.The implications here are far-reaching. If someone refuses a breathalyzer ... cops may have to take the time to write up an affidavit and get a judge to sign a warrant. »

Have you ever noticed that we as international consumers of pop culture are exposed to an inordinate amount of things named "Oz"? There are people named "Oz." There are television shows named "Oz." There are movies released 74 years apart named "Oz." Certainly, there is an unspoken worldwide fascination with those two letters in that specific order.
It's entirely possible, in fact, that we've reached a point where we cannot move forward as a society until we have in place an unofficial ranking of all things Oz, especially with this week's upcoming release of "Oz: The Great and Powerful." There are just too many damn Ozzes (sp).
Counting down from 10-1, here is the Oz pecking order, as it stands right now:
10. Oz from the American Pie movies (as portrayed by Chris Klein)
If you want to get technical, Chris Klein's character in the "American Pie" movies is actually named "Chris Ostreicher, »

Nicholas Sparks has a well-deserved reputation as the master of the romantic drama, thanks to films like "The Notebook" and new release "Safe Haven." Last year's movie "The Vow" has everything you would expect from a Nicholas Sparks film: hot actors (Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams), a wife in a coma, lingering amnesia and the joy of love rediscovered. Just one thing -- somehow, amazingly, Sparks didn't actually write it.
Yeah, we're surprised, too. So in honor of "The Vow," we hereby present our list of the Top Five Movies You'd Think Were Written by Nicholas Sparks.
Amanda Seyfried stars as a gal who is somehow lonely despite the fact that the hunky Gael García Bernal is her fiancé. She finds purpose -- and true love -- when she helps an older woman (Vanessa Redgrave) track down her own long-lost love through clever detective work random chance. »

The Stifmeister is back on the market, ladies.
Seann William Scott, of "American Pie" fame, has called off his engagement to Victoria's Secret model Lindsay Frimodt, a representative for Scott tells Us Weekly. The two got engaged in early 2012.
A source tells Us, "They remain friends. It was a very amicable split."
The engagement came after less than a year of dating and was confirmed at the March 2012 premiere of "American Reunion," where Scott reprised his role of Steve Stifler alongside Alyson Hannigan, Jason Biggs and Chris Klein. Scott previously sought treatment "health and personal issues" back in 2011. »
