2 hours ago | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Jon Stewart tonight used President Obama's big national security speech to go after the president and the Department of Justice for going after whistleblowers, journalists, hackers, potheads, et cetera, but not sending even one person involved in the financial crisis to prison. Stewart mocked the administration for targeting Fox News' James Rosen and giving people "unusually harsh punishments" disproportionate to their crimes. »

The book recounts the author/journalist's time in Iran, where he was supposed to go for one week to cover the country's national elections. Instead, he was held in an Iranian prison for 118 days, tortured and interrogated by a mysterious man who the writer described as smelling of rosewater. Gael García Bernal will play the reporter, who left his pregnant fiancee behind in London for what he thought was a routine assigment.

Gael Garcia Bernal Joins Jon Stewart's Directorial Debut
5 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Jon Stewart is sharply hilarious and Gael Garcia Bernal honed his comedic chops against Will Ferrell, but the pair are teaming up for the first time to tackle a grimly serious subject.
Stewart has cast the 34-year-old Mexican actor as the lead in his directorial debut, according to TheWrap.com. "The Daily Show" host will take a leave of absence this summer to work on the Iranian-set "Rosewater." While correspondent Jon Oliver sits at the news desk for eight of the 12 weeks his boss will be gone, Stewart will direct the star of "Amores Perros" in the story of a journalist, Maziar Bahari, who visits Iran on assignment and ends up jailed for 118 days and roughed up by an interrogator who smells of rosewater. Hey, look, it's the title!
Stewart and writer Aimee Molloy adapted the story from Bahari's 2011 memoir, "Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, »

Gael Garcia Bernal cast in Jon Stewart's directorial debut Rosewater
8 hours ago | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Who knew that this was the path that Jon Stewart would take? Parts in Half Baked and Big Daddy always made me love Stewart, no matter how big or small. Then when The Daily Show slowly but surely started its rise to the top, we got a different side to the actor and a great one, I might add. All the ass kissing aside, it was certainly intriguing to hear that Stewart was taking on the role of director and script writer for Rosewater. The story is adapted from Maziar Bahari's 2011 novel, »

MGM to Adapt Ben Karlin’s Things I’Ve Learned From Women Who’Ve Dumped Me
8 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
MGM has picked up the rights to Ben Karlin's humorous anthology, Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me. The book is collection of essays from celebrated comedians including Stephen Colbert, Patton Oswalt, Larry David, Will Forte, and Andy Richter as well as best-selling authors/columnists Dan Savage, A.J. Jacobs, and many more. It's a very funny and surprisingly touching book where the authors' talent for self-deprecation and insight shines through. According to Deadline, Kyle Pennenkamp & Scott Turpel (the upcoming Get a Job) will write the script, which will cull the book "for the ingredients to a male-oriented comedy." That phrase has me a bit worried since the essays aren't misogynistic and can appeal to both genders. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the book. Karlin co-wrote and produced the upcoming comedy A.C.O.D. (click here for my review from Sundance), and is currently a co-executive producer on Modern Family. »

Bill O'Reilly to Jon Stewart: 'I've Been Too Easy' on Obama (Video)
14 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Bill O'Reilly told Jon Stewart that he's been "too easy" on President Obama, and that recent cases of the Justice Department spying on reporters proves it. Meetings between O'Reilly and Stewart are always great television: The liberal and conservative hosts have learned to play off each other and even occasionally find common ground, as they did on Wednesday's "Daily Show." Stewart welcomed O'Reilly by saying he believed the Justice Department's monitoring of reporters -- including Fox News' James Rosen -- was "really overreaching." Stewart also said O'Reilly and other critics of Obama "finally »

Jon Stewart welcomed Bill O'Reilly back to "The Daily Show" once again, this time to discuss yet another O'Reilly book as well as the scandals that have plagued the Obama administration of late.
When broaching the topic of the scandals, Jon had to ask if the feeling at Fox News was something akin to "sexual arousal" now that they've finally got something on the president. But he quickly steered the IRS conversation into a discussion about who the government should be profiling and why.

Bill O'Reilly stopped by The Daily Show for another round of pithy banter with Jon Stewart. Stewart credited O'Reilly and Fox News for finally having real Obama scandals to sink their teeth into, though he couldn't resist the urge to get in a few barbs at the network's expense, calling it "the organization of Sauron" and asking O'Reilly if Obama scandals are giving everyone at Fox "sexual arousal." »

Olivia vs. Zach: Actress Calls Out Comedian
22 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Olivia Munn is defending all the smart, pretty and funny people out there, claiming to Esquire magazine that 43-year-old funnyman Zach Galifianakis doesn't think person can be both humorous and good looking.
"I believe it was Galifianakis who was saying something like people who are attractive can't be funny, because funny comes from pain," the 32-year-old actress said in an interview for the men's magazine, that was paired with a bikini photo shoot.
"And it's interesting, because in my life, I moved around a lot, and I had a really abusive stepfather. ...And you move around a lot and you're constantly the new kid, because you're a military family. Oklahoma, Utah, Japan, different parts of Japan -- and humor and being self-deprecating and sarcastic was the thing that could break ice in every situation. And so it's a very antiquated idea to think that you can't be pretty and smart and funny."

Olivia Munn flaunts her incredibly toned body in the new issue of Esquire magazine, slipping into several bikinis while revealing she's all about "embracing her sexuality."
The 32-year-old "Newsroom" star admits that although some people -- ahem, we're talking about you, Zach Galifianakis -- think attractive individuals can't be funny, she believes otherwise.
"I believe it was Galifianakis who was saying something like, 'People who are attractive can't be funny, because funny comes from pain.' And it's interesting, because in my life, I moved around a lot, and I had a really abusive stepfather. I have a great stepfather now, but my first stepfather was, for fourteen years, really horrible," she explains to Esquire, continuing, "And you move around a lot and you're constantly the new kid, because you're a military family.
