"Mad Men" Fabulous Quotient: Ladies of the Night
15 hours ago | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Mad Men, thank you for knowing exactly what I wanted this Memorial Day: an episode about your delightful, quasi-doomed lady characters. I know I'm a gay-ass gaything and all, but it's clear that Peggy and Joan are the show's most interesting people, with Pete and Megan running behind in a close third and fourth. (Pete ranks just because he's a quivering pile of suicide potential.) Frankly, the more focus on the show's distaff half, the better. No more Hare Krishna adventures for Harry or forgery follies for Lane, thanks. Save their exploits for a spinoff webseries called "Douche Lessons at Scdp" or something.
But what revelatory turns our dames took last night! Peggy got uppity and left Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, Joan agreed to the shadiest, saddest scheme in advertising history, and Megan shifted from "self-righteous defier of Don's misogyny" to... well, "productive defier of Don's misogyny." Subtle but important difference. »

Watch: Full Episode Of IFC's 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' With Amy Poehler
26 May 2012 7:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
That's right: Starting now, you can preview an entire episode of "Comedy Bang! Bang!", IFC's new bizarre talk/sketch show starring Scott Aukerman and Reggie Watts and, in this episode, featuring guest Amy Poehler. The series debuts Friday, June 8, at 10 p.m.
"But wait!" you're saying. "How can I watch an entire episode of a show that won't be broadcast on television for upwards of two weeks?! I'm never trusting The Huffington Post's coverage of politics or sideboob again after they led me astray with such flagrant lies about cable scheduling!"
It's simple, dear reader! IFC seems to be doing fans of "Comedy Bang! Bang!" a favor by allowing this to stream online before it airs. It only makes sense: The show is adapted from a podcast (also hosted by Aukerman), so devotees are used to checking out "Bang! Bang!" on their own schedule anyhow.

'Saturday Night Live' best host poll: And the winner is...
26 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
To be a truly great host on Saturday Night Live requires a multitude of skills that elude even some of our favorite stars. He or she needs to be fearless. A willingness to be, as Josh Brolin said this year in his SNL monologue, “career-endingly stupid.” On top of that, things have to go just right — even the most game guest is at the mercy of the show’s writers and ensemble and they’d be the first to admit that all their shows are not created equal. But as Seth Meyers has often said, the show often takes on the personality of the host. »

Abe Schwartz: 10 Things With 'Parks and Recreation' Writer, Aisha Muharrar
25 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
One of my favorite shows is Parks and Recreation. I recently had the chance to sit down, drink iced tea and talk with staff writer, Aisha Muharrar. Aisha penned several of my favorite episodes, including "Born and Raised" and "Operation Ann" this season. Here are ten things that you should know about Aisha, who is both insanely talented and a much more patient iced tea drinker than me.
1. Even when she was just a kid, Aisha knew she wanted to be a writer. While in high school, she wrote a non-fiction book entitled More than a Label. Aisha attended Harvard, where she majored in English and wrote for The Harvard Lampoon to hone her comedy writing skills. (An avid fan of The Simpsons growing up, she was aware that this was where many of The Simpsons' writers first got their start.)
2. She loved The WB shows (Felicity, Buffy, Dawson's Creek »

The Secret World of Arrietty Blu-ray Review
23 May 2012 2:49 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
The Movie Pool borrows The Secret World of Arrietty Blu-ray to review!
The Set-up
A group of tiny people known as Borrowers live their lives in secret within the walls and under the floorboards of the homes of regular people. A young Borrower named Arrietty breaks the rules of her kind by befriending a human boy in the house in which they live. Based on the classic children's book The Borrowers.
Directed by: Hiromasa Yonebayashi
The Delivery
Japanese anime house Studio Ghibli has brought us some classic animated fare in recent years, from Ponyo to Spirited Away to Howl's Moving Castle. Hayao Miyazaki was the mind behind those classics, and he provides the planning and screenplay for Arrietty, while Hiromasa Yonebayashi takes the director's chair.
While Arrietty does not have the ethereal, fantastical imagery of other Studio Ghibli films, it is no less a beautiful piece of art. Every shot »

Wes Anderson’s Next Feature Will Reunite the Director with Owen Wilson
22 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Until Wes Anderson's upcoming flick Moonrise Kingdom, Owen Wilson had played a part in all of the director's feature-length films. While the streak has been broken, their relationship will carry on with Anderson's next untitled feature. Anderson has now told the Dallas News' Pop Culture Blog [via The Film Stage] that the movie will be an ensemble piece, he's written a part for Wilson, and the actor has signed on. The script is halfway finished, but few details are known about the picture. However, Anderson, who's currently spending some time in Paris, did tell Harper's Bazaar [via The Playlist] that "it’s a film I want to make in Europe, a Euro movie." Hit the jump for a list of other projects on Wilson's slate. Moonrise Kingdom stars Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Jason Schwartzman, Jared Gilman, and Kara Hayward. The film opens in limited release this Friday, and will expand wide in the following weeks. »

'Parks & Rec' Cast Wants Some Lovin' In Season 5
21 May 2012 2:45 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Parks and Recreation" has secured a Season 5 and Leslie Knope has gotten her city council seat, so what's next? Lots of loving, if the stars get their way.
"Well, my big hope was to roll the cameras and have us show up and get in costume. That's looking good," Nick Offerman, who plays Ron Swanson, said with a laugh at the Peabody Awards, where "Parks and Rec" was honored. "Beyond that, I think all of us are hoping for some love interests this fall, of one sort or another. Everyone needs to get some."
Jim O'Heir, who plays the parks and recreation department's lovable oaf Jerry, said he's just happy to make more episodes of the series. "I'm just glad when my name's on the call sheet so whatever they figure out after that is fine," O'Heir said.

Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels: Only Kristen Wiig Is Exiting 'So Far'; Sudeikis & Samberg Could Stay On
21 May 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
Kristen Wiig had quite the send-off on "Saturday Night Live" (that included her co-stars, Mick Jagger, Arcade Fire - plus "SNL" alums Amy Poehler, Chris Kattan and Rachel Dratch), but where was the fond farewell for fellow stars Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis, who are also rumored to be exiting the NBC sketch comedy series?
"SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels told TheWrap that nothing has been decided about the actors' future on the series.
"Not so far, yeah," he told TheWrap at the Peabody Awards in New York on Monday, when asked about the lack of any mention ...

Kristen Wiig Leaves SNL - Emotional Farewell
21 May 2012 12:53 PM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Kristen Wiig held back tears as she made what is believed to be her last appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' at the weekend. The final sketch during the season finale saw the actress - who has been a cast member on the show for seven years - don a cap and gown with guest host Sir Mick Jagger acting as high school principal during a graduation scene. Kristen's character was singled out as ''one particular student who is leaving this summer'', and she then danced with the Rolling Stones rocker, executive producer Lorne Michaels and other cast members to the group's hit 'She's a Rainbow.' Kristen then struggled to keep her emotions in check as the show's full ensemble, including Amy Poehler and John Hamm, appeared to sing 'Ruby Tuesday', which features the line ''Still I'm gonna miss you''. Network NBC have not made any »
Blu-ray Review: ‘The Secret World of Arrietty,’ ‘Castle in the Sky,’ ‘Whisper of the Heart’
21 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Disney has cleverly timed this week’s release of Studio Ghibli’s “The Secret World of Arrietty” with the Blu-ray debut two other Ghibli films from one of the most influential studios in the history of film — “Whisper of the Heart” and “Castle in the Sky.” All three films are worth a look (as is Everything ever made by Studio Ghibli) but “Castle” is my personal favorite of the three. Just check ‘em all out (and stay tuned for more exciting news about an upcoming Chicago Film Critics Association event featuring HollywoodChicago.com about Studio Ghibli).
While the Ghibli films never make much of a dent at the U.S. box office, they are absolute juggernauts overseas. “The Secret World of Arrietty” has made $145 million worldwide. Like most Ghibli films, it’s beloved everywhere but the U.S.(where it couldn’t break $20 million). However, the people in the »

'Saturday Night Live' poll: Who will be the next Kristen Wiig?
21 May 2012 8:42 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
When Amy Poehler left SNL in December of ’08, Kristen Wiig suddenly became the show’s only full-fledged female cast member. And even after Abby Elliott was officially promoted to repertory player in 2010, Wiig still stood out as one of the series’ most visible performers — and its most visible female player by far. With a dynamo like Wiig dominating the stage and taking nearly every female speaking role, it was nigh on impossible for any other woman to make an impression.
Now, though, Wiig is freeing up her Saturday nights — and the sketch show’s four remaining ladies (Elliott, Vanessa Bayer, »

Since its debut 37 years ago, "Saturday Night Live" has done two things incredibly well: skewer the day's headlines with a twisted, acid perspective and serve as a launching pad for some of the biggest careers in movie comedy history.
And following her tearful final spin on Saturday night's season finale, it appears clear that the show's ace player, "Bridesmaids" star Kristen Wiig, will be the latest breakout player to make a permanent leap from the stage at Studio 8H to movie stardom. Wiig has already tasted success with an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for "Bridesmaids," and she has at least half a dozen features in various stages of shooting and development.

Will Arnett, Jason Bateman Make Branded Digital Shorts for TBS
20 May 2012 10:09 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Because of that experience (and because he has a lot in common with TBS' current slogan), Arnett did an excellent job explaining the “brand-inspired entertainment” he creates and produces. TBS executives must’ve thought so, too, because the Time Warner-owned cable television channel recently inked a deal with DumbDumb for a half-dozen digital shorts. The industry-exclusive agreement initially calls for DumbDumb to “produce up to six short-form comedy videos, each featuring a sponsor’s brand inegration and the DumbDumb stable of comedic stars” (which includes famous individuals like Sarah Silverman, Jason Bateman, David Koechner, Amy Poehler, Will Forte, and more). The shorts will then be distributed on TBS.com (and other TBS online destinations like Teamcoco.com, Adultswim.com, and NBA.com) and be promoted on-air by way of (or at commercial breaks during) TBS’ popular television properties like Conan, Family Guy, and The Big Bang Theory.

Kristen Wiig's Teary Saturday Night Live 'Graduation'

For once, Saturday Night Live didn't go for laughs, instead ending its season with tears and hugs Saturday night. In a surprise - and surprisingly emotional - send-off, cast members appeared to bid goodbye to key player Kristen Wiig. The Bridesmaids star's departure has long been rumored, but has yet to be confirmed by NBC. Still, the farewell sentiment seemed clear: After host Mick Jagger introduced a class of "graduates," Wiig took the stage. Then one by one, her SNL costars joined her, each for a brief dance while musical guest Arcade Fire serenaded her with "She's a Rainbow" and "Ruby Tuesday. »
