The 'What Not to Wear' live season premiere felt almost as weird as a bath mat worn as a jacket
29 May 2012 9:51 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Last night Stacy London and Clinton Kelly got a little cuh-razy on the social-media-happy season 10 premiere of What Not to Wear — it was live! Agggghhh! No! So awkward!
“You have to keep quiet so she doesn’t suspect anything,” Stacy warned the crowd of over 200 people. Wait. Strike that; reverse it. “But when she walks in, Go Nuts!”
I applaud the team for trying something different (and hooray for Ted and Carmindy sharing the stage), but Wntw is not meant for the live studio audience world.

CBS upfronts: America's most successful network sticks to what it knows best
17 May 2012 9:09 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The grown-up network has plenty of solid bets in its lineup, but Elementary, CBS's modern-day Sherlock Holmes, is a gamble
CBS presented its new shows to advertisers and the media community in New York this week. Here's our guide to the potential hits and misses:
What CBS needs
CBS is America's most successful network and it didn't get that way by making swinging changes. Instead CBS is a network that knows what works – police procedurals and multi-camera comedies. It recognises that the bread-and butter-stuff allows it to occasionally take a chance on shows that don't fit the mould – The Good Wife is grown-up network television at its best. It also doesn't care about being mocked for being old – CBS might be the no 1 network for viewers over 50 but it's also the no 2 network (behind Fox) for viewers under 50.
While everyone else is rushing around panicking about the internet, fragmented viewing »

The Karate Kid’s Macchio Joins Hitchcock Biopic
18 April 2012 6:46 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
He’s been quiet of late, well actually nearly two decades quiet, but The Karate Kid and My Cousin Vinny star Ralph Macchio has joined the cast of film-within-a-film biopic Alfred Hitchcock & The Making Of Psycho. The actor will appear as Psycho screenwriter Joseph Stefano, opposite Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and James D’Arcy.
The film will chronicle the turbulent efforts of getting Hitchcock’s suspense-filled masterpiece on to the big-screen. Sacha Gervasi will direct, with Oscar-winning legend Hopkins as the iconic filmmaker, Mirren as put-upon wife Alma and Johansson, Biel and D’Arcy and the movies stars Janet Leigh, Vera Miles and Anthony Perkins respectively.

Ralph Macchio Cast In Making Of Psycho Movie
17 April 2012 12:15 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Ralph Macchio hasn.t been seen often on the big screen in recent years. In fact, most of his noteworthy appearances of late have been on television, with a recurring role in ABC.s Ugly Betty, and a guest starring role in an episode of Psych a couple years back. Macchio hasn.t had many notable film roles since his days of The Karate Kid and My Cousin Vinny, but perhaps that.s about to change. Deadline reports that Macchio has been cast in the Sacha Gervasi-directed Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho. The film is based on a book by Stephen Rebello, and as you may have surmised by the title, documents the making of Alfred Hitchcock.s classic thriller Psycho. Anthony Hopkins is on board to play the role of Hitchcock. Macchio will play screenwriter Joe Stefano in the film. In addition to writing the screenplay for Psycho, »

Not every Academy Awards winner is met with praise and cinematic glory. Some past winners have come as surprises and even major disappointments to the audience, and among these, a handful will go down in history as outright injustices.
Though a surprise victory on Oscar night can be thrilling, it can also deeply upset the viewers at home who've picked their favorites. As we gear up for the 2012 Oscars, here's a look back at some of the most controversial wins in Academy Awards history.
"How Green Was My Valley" Upsets "Citizen Kane" (Best Picture)

Cool Clicks: Oscarologists Put Money on 'The Artist'

We scour the interwebs for the coolest movie news and more so you don't have to ...

Evan Shapiro: TV > Film: For Curing a Case of the Cubas, There's Nothing Better Than TV
22 February 2012 5:15 AM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
In case you hadn't heard, the Academy Awards are on ABC this Sunday. Regardless of what you think of the nominees, it is clear that the film business is at a crossroads. Fewer people went to the movies in 2011 than any year since Al Gore invented the internet; our nation's multiplexes are in the throes of an epidemic called sequelitis; and the Academy could barely settle on a host for Sunday's Oscars.
But this week, my focus is on the most vulnerable members of the Academy: The Actors. Actors have more at stake than anyone at this annual bacchanalia -- their faces are the most recognizable and their personas are most associated with the success or failure of a film. And, even more perplexing and daunting: winning an Oscar may actually be more hazardous to an acting career than losing. Winning an Oscar puts more of a microscope on an actor than dating Leonardo DiCaprio. »

Oscar Shock: 5 Surprise Best Actors (And What Happened Next)
19 February 2012 6:09 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With the Academy Awards now just a week away, large doses of scrutiny are being shoved down the collective throats of the twinkling stars standing in line and hoping for their very own statuette.
Odds are that when the nominations are announced every year, there will be at least one somewhat surprising contender, whether he/she be an unknown, or simply dwells in an artistically shunned corner of the film world…no names mentioned, Jonah.
What is more of a startling occurrence is when said unfancied also-ran is announced as the victor, with their Celebrity Square suddenly expanding, and their face contorted with disbelief and unguarded astonishment in front of millions of amazed viewers.
But just how often is the wild card winner the champion of the future? Is the bookie-breaking hero of the night getting the ultimate kick start into superstardom and legend, an easily carried poisoned chalice, or »

Tomei Plans To Dig Deeper After Solving Family Mystery
9 February 2012 2:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Oscar winner Marisa Tomei has pledged to delve deeper into her family's murky past after discovering the truth about her great-grandfather's death while researching her ancestry for a U.S. TV show.
The My Cousin Vinny star travelled to Italy to unearth secrets about her ancestors for Who Do You Think You Are? and she admits she turned investigator when she initially discovered her womanising relative had been murdered.
The actress examined church and state records to find out if the legend that her great-grandfather was shot dead in a bar over a gambling debt was true.
Tomei uncovered the fact that his cause of death was listed as an illness.
She says, "The mystery still remains between the story of this murder and then this supposed illness. That still all seems suspect. So I'm just looking for any other kind of records that could connect those dots."
Tomei's TV investigation airs in America on Friday night. »
