Crystal Bell: 'Glee' Recap: We Are The Champions
15 May 2012 9:06 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 3, Episodes 20 and 21 of Fox's "Glee," entitled "Props" and "Nationals," respectively.
"Glee" has never been perfect. In fact, this season, it's been far from it. But just when you count them out, the New Directions have a way of winning you over again. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm a gleek again.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the first hour of "Glee's" two-hour event, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the much-talked about role reversals were barely a fraction of the episode. I'm not saying that it wasn't fun to see Finn rock Kurt's stylish cape collection, and to see Tina put on a pait of knee-high socks and belt out one of my favorite Celine Dion songs, but I was glad that segment only lasted a mere 10 minutes. I don't think I could have taken anymore of Kurt's creepy Finn. »

Eric Bana Won't Shake His Hips In 'Elvis & Nixon'; Malin Akerman Not Sure The Linda Lovelace Biopic 'Inferno' Is Going To Happen
23 April 2012 3:45 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
THR hit the ground running at the Tribeca Film Festival, and they've been busy finding out what the stars won't be doing in the near future.
First up, Eric Bana, who is in the Big Apple to promote his latest thriller "Deadfall" won't be wearing blue suede shoes anytime, unless it's for his own sartorial reasons. Last fall, the actor was attached to play Elvis Presley in "Elvis & Nixon" opposite in Danny Huston as the President with Cary Elwes making his directorial debut. The project centers on a Dec. 21, 1970, visit that Presley paid to Nixon at the White House, which was all initiated by The King after he wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Presley brought with him family photos and a Colt 45 pistol as a personal gift to the president. »

The Other Linda Lovelace Movie Is in Trouble
23 April 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
There's room enough in Hollywood for two Snow White movies, but two movies about porn star Linda Lovelace may be one too many. So says Malin Akerman, who was set to star as Lovelace in Matthew Wilder's Inferno ... which has had trouble getting off the ground after Amanda Seyfried began shooting rival movie Lovelace first. "Last I heard, which was just before Christmas, we were supposed to start shooting in March, and now it's April," Akerman told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's been one of those doomed films that I absolutely love and totally believe in ... I would hope and love for it to go, but now this other movie is coming on that Amanda Seyfried did, and I kind of feel like, 'Shit, we should have been on that, we should have done it.'" The irony? Inferno would have shot first back in 2010 ... if original star »

Will the Linda Lovelace Biopic Inferno Ever Get Made?

Amanda Seyfried's Linda Lovelace biopic is in the can. But whatever happened to Inferno, the other Lovelace porn flick that was orginally going to star Lindsay Lohan before she was replaced by Malin Akerman? It turns out... "I don't know when that's going to go down of if that's going to go down," Harold Perrineau, who's set play Sammy Davis Jr. in the film, recently told us while promoting his new movie Seeking Justice (in theaters now). "I'm excited about it if it actually happens." Perrineau says he's still waiting to get a call from director Matthew Wilder since first reading the film's script last year. "It's a rough story," »

'New Girl' Cast Reveals Their Personal Theme Songs
13 March 2012 6:12 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
"Hey girl! Whatcha doin'?" "New Girl" has one of my favorite theme songs on TV right now, and when they released the full song with a choose-your-own-adventure-style music video, I was over the moon.
But what do the cast and producers consider their own personal theme songs? Everyone's got one. (Full disclosure: Mine is "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder. Don't judge.)
I asked stars Zooey Deschanel (who is responsible for the show's catchy theme), Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield and Lamorne Morris, creator Liz Meriwether and executive producers Brett Baer and Dave Finkel to share theirs.
Zooey Deschanel, Jess: "Well, I wrote that song, so I'm glad you like it. But my theme song? 'She's Got It'! No, I'm kidding. [Sings] 'She's got it!'"
Max Greenfield, Schmidt: "'Sussudio' by Phil Collins. There's something about that song, when it comes on I go, 'Yeah, this is me. This is where I'm at today. »

Demi Moore exits Linda Lovelace project due to health problems. This sounds familiar...
25 January 2012 11:15 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
In a bit of déjà vu, another star abruptly exited a Linda Lovelace biopic yesterday. Is Demi Moore’s departure from Lovelace simply a bit of bad timing or a signal of something more cosmic? Could Lovelace be following the same troubled path as Inferno, the competing biopic that had to replace Lindsay Lohan with Malin Akerman? Is there a curse on the house of Lovelace?
Given Lovelace’s tragic life and her dramatic turnabout as a feminist icon, she seems like a ready-made subject for an Oscar-bait film — if it’s done right. Though Inferno began making headlines in »

The ongoing battle of the Lovelace biopics has obviously entered its next phase: co-star casting. Yesterday, we brought word of the Amanda Seyfried-starring Lovelace grabbing a few actors and now competing project Inferno (featuring Malin Akerman as Linda) is firing back, roping in Adam Goldberg, Harold Perrineau and Sasha Grey.Goldman will play Harry Reems, the porn star who worked with Lovelace (then Linda Boreman) on the infamous Deep Throat film that rocketed her to skin flick superstardom, which she briefly embraced before renouncing her former career and writing memoir Ordeal about her tribulations.Perrineau, meanwhile, is on as Sammy Davis Jr, who was Lovelace’s lover for a while. Grey’s role is not specified, but after switching from her own porn world to mainstream acting with Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, Grey will no doubt serve as a key consultant on any raunchier material.Matthew Wilder »

3 January 2012 7:21 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If 2012 is the battle of the Snow White movies, it looks like 2013 may be the smuttier war between porn biopics of the infamous Linda Lovelace. Hot on the heels of "Lovelace" shoring up their cast with Demi Moore and Adam Brody, "Inferno" has fired back with casting of its own. To bring you back up to speed, this is the project with Malin Akerman as Lovelace, Matt Dillon as her husband Chuck Traynor and Paz De La Huerta in a supporting role. Well, Variety reports a few more names have been confirmed, with Adam Goldberg, Harold Perrineau and former porn star Sasha Grey all boarding the project, written and directed by Matthew Wilder.

'Lovelace' Picks up (Cast) Members
3 January 2012 9:26 AM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Lovelace, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Linda Lovelace biopic starring Amanda Seyfried, has added some more star power to its ranks, thereby ramping up its lead over Matthew Wilder's Lovelace flick, Inferno, in the "classy" competition.
According to Deadline, Lovelace has recently added Eric Roberts as lie detector expert Nat Laurendi, Adam Brody as Deep Throat co-star Harry Reems, and Demi Moore as feminist icon Gloria Steinem (I can't wait to see that).
Of the two competing films about the ill-fated 1970s porn star, Lovelace boasts the more impressive cast. Besides Seyfried as the title character and the new big names, the film also features Hank Azaria as Deep Throat director Gerard Damiano, James Franco as Hugh Hefner and Peter Sarsgaard as Lovelace's abusive first husband, Chuck Traynor.
Also aboard this off-color trip to the '70s are Wes Bentley, Sharon Stone, Robert Patrick, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth and Juno Temple. »

[1] Matthew Wilder's Inferno was the Linda Lovelace biopic we heard about first, but it seems like Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace is the one that's moving full speed right now.

Now Demi Moore, Adam Brody, and Eric Roberts have become the latest to join the drama, which is based on Eric Danville's book The Complete Linda Lovelace. More details after the jump. Lovelace follows the life of the adult film actress, who got into the business as a young woman when she met Traynor, a pornographer, and »
