Blake McCormick Named ‘Cougar Town’ Showrunner, Inks Warner Bros TV Deal
2 May 2013 3:50 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Exclusive: Cougar Town writer-producer Blake McCormick has been elevated to showrunner of the ensemble comedy as it heads into its fifth season and second on TBS. McCormick replaces Ric Swartzlander, who ran Cougar Town last season. Additionally, McCormick has signed a blind script deal with Warner Bros TV through studio-based Doozer, the company of Cougar Town co-creator/executive producer Bill Lawrence. Lawrence exited Cougar Town after Season 3 to segue into his overall deal at Warner Bros TV but ended up being pretty hands-on during Season 4 since he didn’t have a series on the air. That likely won’t be the case next season as he has three pilots in contention for series pickup: Undateable at NBC, I Suck At Girls at Fox and Ground Floor at TBS. McCormick, repped by UTA, Kaplan Perrone and attorney Jared Levine, has been on Cougar Town for the past three seasons, starting out »

The co-director of the first American Pie movie gives an update as to where things are with the franchise...
Paul Weitz, along with his brother Chris, may only have directed the first American Pie movie, but he's had an executive producer credit ever since, and has had some kind of involvement with the subsequent movies. Although we don't blame him for the straight to DVD adventures.

So: just how involved does Universal make him in the sequels? "It kind of happens where they tell me about it, and I go 'Neat'. »

If comedian DJ Lubel was hoping to get Hollywood's attention, he's succeeded with his latest song parody, "The Women of L.A." The video -- a dweeb's lament at how hard it is to get the shallow women living in Los Angeles to sleep with him -- has racked up nearly 500,000 hits in the 24 hours since it went up on YouTube. Some of it is positive attention -- most notably from Ashton Kutcher, who tweeted a link to it with a simple, "Lolz." Jon Hurwitz, who wrote Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, liked it, too, telling Lubel:
