Rcl: Foxy Licorice Roller Derby Edition
10 June 2009 7:10 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
Time for another edition of Red Carpet Lineup wherein we gather up actresses who were photographed at events during the week... and talk about them.
First up is Famke Janssen because I've been waiting for her Turn the River follow up ever since the terrific one-on-one I had with her in early 2008. She's on set in Monaco... for which movie I do not know. Where Famke goes her puppy Licorice is never far behind, so I had to include him (her?) too. It was recently announced that she'll be reprising her transsexual "Ava Moore" role for the series finale of Nip/Tuck.
Megan Fox is a phenomenon I haven't yet grasped. I've been playfully arguing about her on twitter. Screen Rant implied that she should hold her tongue in interviews, since people will lose interest if they start noticing what comes off of it. I say her faux shocking sound

Sci-Fi’s New Show: Warehouse 13
6 June 2009 9:28 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Warehouse 13 is Sci-Fi’s newest product that they’re giving a lot of advertising support to.
Sitting around watching the Sci-Fi (Soon to be SyFY) Channel I’ve noticed that the network is doing what they do best and that’s pummel the viewers with ads about the show repeatedly.
Warehouse 13 is about two Secret Service agents played by Eddie McClintock (Bones) and Joanne Kelly (Vanished, The Dresden Files) who get themselves transferred to a massive top-secret warehouse located in South Dakota.
The warehouse stores odd and strange artifacts that have been collected by the U.S. government. Think about it like that giant warehouse we saw at the end of the first Indiana Jones movie when they took the ark to a storage facility.
The warehouse is run by Artie, played by Saul Rubinek. He’s the one that sends the agents out to retrieve purported artifacts

Pixar`s Lucky Charm
5 June 2009 12:21 PM, PDT | From SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news
Back in 1995 John Ratzenberger became a part of history as one of the voices in the first animated feature done entirely by computer. That film was Pixar's Toy Story and ever since, Ratzenberger has made a small cameo in every single one of Pixar's 13 feature films. Abominable Snowman - Monsters Inc. Toy Story was the auspicious beginning to a mutually rewarding relationship. The company since has dubbed Ratzenberger their good luck charm having him reprise his role as Hamm in Toy Story 2 and playing P.T. Flea in A Bug's Life, the snow monster Yeti in Monsters, Inc., the monkfish school in Finding Nemo, The Underminer in The Incredibles and even Mack in Cars. This summer with the release of Up, John Ratzenburger continues his relationship with Pixar and returns as Construction Foreman Tom Mustafa - Ratatouille / Hamm - Toy Story 1,2 & 3 / P.T. the Flea - A Bug's Life

Theron & Miller Slam Top Restaurant
5 June 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Charlize Theron, Sting and Sienna Miller have signed a petition ordering a top London restaurant to stop serving a rare fish dish.
The trio, along with model Elle Macpherson and former Cheers stars Woody Harrelson and Ted Danson, added their names to a letter sent to the boss of posh eaterie Nobu - Nobu Matsuhisa - in protest at the endangered blue fin tuna's inclusion on his menu.
They claim they can no longer dine at the establishment "with a clear conscience" if it continues to serve the fish, which is heading towards extinction in the next four years.
The letter states, "We feel strongly that Blue Fin Tuna must be completely removed from your menu as it is an extremely endangered animal."
And British comic Stephen Fry has also weighed into the debate, saying, "It's lunacy. There's no justification for peddling extinction."
The stars demand a reply from Matsuhisa by Monday.
[DVD Review] TV Sets: Forever Funny
27 May 2009 11:44 AM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
TV Sets: Forever Funny fetches a brilliant collection of shows to tickle the funny bone as a sampling of the comedic programs CBS has put out over time. Any collection that features Taxi, Cheers, The Odd Couple and Frasier is doing something right of the comedy front – but that’s only half the issue. Along with choosing the funniest shows possible, the funniest episodes of the series ought be selected as well. Instead, in an obvious attempt to encourage folks to start at the beginning, CBS has chosen the pilot episodes of each series. Once again, like in the TV Sets: Action Packed DVD, pilots are great for hooking an audience when the show is brand new – but these are classic shows that your average television viewer has seen at least a few episodes of.
There are two things more puzzling than the steadfast notion that the pilot episodes were

The Cheers alum and Pixar fixture talks about this new Bd release, his charitable foundation and that mysterious new toy in Toy Story 3
After spending 11 years in a place where everybody knew his name on the hit sitcom Cheers, John Ratzenberger carved out a legacy all his own in another medium: animation. The actor who portrayed the lovable mailman Cliff Claven is the only person whose voice appears in all 10 of the hit films from animation powerhouse Pixar, starting with his voice role as Hamm on Toy Story and every other film including the upcoming Up, which hits theaters on May 29 and the highly-anticipated Toy Story 3 as well. The second film in the Pixar canon was A Bug's Life, which is finally making the move to Blu-ray on May 19. I had the chance to speak with Ratzenberger over the phone and here's what he had to say.

Sometimes you don't want to go anywhere near someone who knows your name. Cheers star John Ratzenberger filed a request for a temporary restraining order from his ex-girlfriend, Lindsay McGrail, on Wednesday. The erstwhile Cliff Clavin claims she's deluged him with harassing emails and insists—we're not making this up—her love of country music may lead to violence.

DVD Playhouse—May 2009
By
Allen Gardner
Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount Studios releases two more classic titles from its library on special edition DVD: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is John Ford’s last masterpiece (although he would go on to direct two more very good films) from 1962: about an Eastern lawyer (James Stewart) who travels west only to find primal brutality in the form of sadistic bandit Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin, great as always) and pragmatic brutality in local rancher Tom Doniphon (John Wayne), each two sides of a coin that represent a way of life slowly dying out as Stewart’s modern brand of civilization tames the West. A perfect film, period. Howard Hawks’ El Dorado is essentially a remake of his earlier classic Rio Bravo, with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and a young James Caan as lawmen joining forces against corrupt cattle barons. Great fun. Two disc sets.

Alley Wants To Get Fit For Triathlon
6 May 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Actress Kirstie Alley is determined to shed the pounds and get in shape so she can take part in a triathlon.
The former Cheers star has gained back all the weight she lost while she was a spokeswoman for diet company Jenny Craig back in 2007, and now she's fighting to get thin again.
And Alley is aiming to be fighting fit so she can achieve one of her personal goals.
She tells People magazine, "One of the things I want to do is do a triathlon.
"I've been researching it, and I might want to do my first triathlon in Italy. It's a two-mile swim, a 12-mile bike and a three-and-a-half mile run. I was a competitive swimmer, so I think the swimming will come back to me really fast."
Alley will join a host of stars who have taken on the challenging race - Jennifer Lopez, Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey have all completed the gruelling competition in the last year.
Kirstie Alley: 'I ate a lot of butter'
6 May 2009 8:56 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news
Actress Kirstie Alley has spoken out about her recent increase in weight to 228lbs. The fomer Cheers star blamed her latest boost in size on her departure from the Jenny Craig Weight Loss Program and a switch in her diet. Alley admitted that she started "screaming" when she weighed herself for the first time in 15 months and discovered that she was her "highest weight ever". "I was so much more disgusting than I thought," she told People. Speaking about her eating habits, the 58-year-old said: "My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. A lot of butter. "If I'm at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I'd say, 'I'm at the movies, so who cares?' And toast with butter. Or let's say I had two cups of pasta and six (more)

When Kirstie Alley stepped on the scale for the first time in 15 months, it wasn't pretty. "I started screaming," recalls Alley, sipping homemade fruit-infused water in her Hollywood kitchen. "It said 228 lbs., which is my highest weight ever. I was so much more disgusting than I thought!" But looking back, Alley, 58, is hardly shocked. During her three-year stint as a Jenny Craig spokeswoman, she famously trimmed down to 145 lbs. after losing and keeping off 75 lbs. But since parting ways with the company in 2007, she had not worked out and banished her gym equipment to the garage. As for her diet,

Actress Kirstie Alley is determined to be "ripped" and look like First Lady Michelle Obama by the time she launches her new weight loss brand in November.
The former Cheers star has gained back all the weight she lost while she was a spokeswoman for diet company Jenny Craig in 2007 - and then some. And now she's fighting to get thin again.
Appearing on pal Oprah Winfrey's show - where she once showed off a post-diet bikini body - on Thursday, Alley discussed her plans to shape up, insisting she had already lost 20 pounds (9 kilograms) in five weeks and hopes to look like the U.S. President's wife by November.
She says, "By November I have to look ripped."
And she's aiming for Obama's body: "I could have those arms; I don't know about the legs.
"My whole issue is my butt and my legs, so I have to get pretty thin to have a really good butt and legs."
