Scarlett Johansson Joins Jon Favreau's 'Chef' As Michelle Williams & Marion Cotillard Circle Rival Bradley Cooper Pic
15 May 2013 8:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The culinary arts and filmmaking don't seem to go together that often. You get the occasional great picture set in the restaurant world -- "Big Night" and "Ratatouille" spring to mind -- but more often than not, you end up with films more like "No Reservations" when you try to put cooks on screen. But now, chefs are suddenly the new, uh, Snow White, with two big names gearing up rival foodie-related pictures, to the extent that legal issues may be brewing over their titles. Jon Favreau is prepping to star and direct in a return to his indie roots with "Chef," a film about a professional cook who loses his job and sets up a food truck, and he's been quietly assembling a nice cast, with Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale and, most impressively of all, a cameo from megastar Robert Downey Jr. And now he's recruited another Avenger, »

Chatting With Anthony Bourdain
18 April 2013 5:23 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Love him or hate him, Anthony Bourdain is the baddest food (and travel) dude on the block. After wrapping up the ninth season of "No Reservations" on the Travel Channel, Bourdain migrated to CNN where he now hosts "Parts Unknown," which will "examine cultures from around the world through their food and dining and travel rituals." In the premiere episode, Bourdain headed to Myanmar where he sought to uncover what, exactly, Burmese food is, and how food culture evolved through the country's conflict.
It's no secret that, especially when traveling through Asia, Bourdain is an outspoken advocate for the virtues of chowing down on street food. So, it comes as no surprise that in addition to the new show, he's pulling double duty as an ambassador for and speaker at the inaugural World Street Food Congress beginning May 31. We caught up with Bourdain to learn all about this new venture, »

"Mr. Selfridge" premiered on PBS Sunday (March 31), with star Jeremy Piven stepping into the titular role of the fast-talking American who opened one of the world's largest department stores in early 20th-century London.
Piven participated in a live chat Monday with the fans, where he talks about his new television role.
Q: "Did you have any reservations about being part of a period piece and now competing with the 'Downton Abbey' standard?"
Piven: "No reservations whatsoever. In fact, I couldn't have planned it any better."
Q: "What was the appeal of this role?"
Piven: "Harry lived such a full, beautiful and ultimately tragic life that it's really fertile ground for a series."
Q: "It feels like you were born to play this part...what did you think when you were approached to play Harry?"

Anthony Bourdain's CNN show 'Parts Unknown' premieres in April
18 March 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
CNN and Anthony Bourdain will kick off a new world tour next month.
The chef-turned-author-turned TV traveler's new series, "Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown," will launch on Sunday, April 14, CNN says. The first episode will follow Bourdain as he explores the food and culture of Myanmar, which has only recently opened its borders to outsiders.
Bourdain also travels to Colombia, Libya, Peru, Quebec and L.A.'s Koreatown neighborhood in "Parts Unknown," which will air eight episodes in its first season.
The show shares a lot of DNA (and a producing team) with his previous series "No Reservations" and "A Cook's Tour." Bourdain has said one of the reasons he moved from Travel Channel to CNN is that the news network would help him gain access to places he might not otherwise have been able to go.

12 March 2013 11:52 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
The fictional counterparts of English actor Dominic Monaghan have had run-ins with all sorts of formidable creatures, from orcs in The Lord of the Rings to fellow mutants in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But lately, he’s been capturing on camera his encounters with creatures far more real and often just as fearsome — if not more so.

Archer Review: “Live And Let Dine” (Season 4, Episode 7)
28 February 2013 9:21 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
In “Live and Let Dine,” Archer adds another to its ever-growing line of guest stars in the form of Anthony Bourdain. And, of all the people who’ve come through this show, Bourdain is undoubtedly the most baffling choice made thus far, which is partly why I wasn’t entirely sold on this week’s episode.
Shows often rely upon guest stars to draw in new viewers, except Archer‘s had a bit more integrity than that when it comes to choosing its guest spots. Either their inclusion is inevitable, such as with Burt Reynolds, or it’s a case of an actor wanting to have a bit of fun on the side, like with George Takei.
Bourdain, on the other hand, sticks out as a clear outlier. Like Reynolds before him, Bourdain spends the duration of the episode playing the easiest role of them all, himself; however, whereas those »

Despite what your thoughts may be on his filmography, director Scott Hicks‘ next move is always a difficult one to predict.

Oscar Front-Runner: "Argo" Tops Producers Guild of America (PGA) Winners!
27 January 2013 12:30 AM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Oh yes it still hurts that Ben Affleck was not given a Best Director Oscar nomination, yet his fantastic film "Argo" continues its ascension to Oscar glory! The film took home the top prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards taking home the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.
So guess which film will win the Oscar Best Picture? Yup, it will be "Argo!" Why? Well, Hollywood really loves movies about them and "Argo" is about a movie of a fake movie in order to help free some Americans trapped in Iran during the hostage crisis.
And, the PGA award is a significant Academy Awards precursor. Only seven times in 24 years has the PGA winner failed to win a Best Picture Oscar. So "Argo" has a strong chance.
I'm also happy that "Searching for Sugar Man" won the Documentary category, and not so happy »

Nigella Lawson brings her signature style to saucy new food show The Taste | Emma G Keller
23 January 2013 7:24 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
England's younger, sexier Barefoot Contessa takes on Anthony Bourdain in ABC's new 'food show like no other'
I've always thought the point of Nigella Lawson is that she doesn't have one. As England's younger, sexier version of the Barefoot Contessa, she's a spherical series of soft curves, murmuring an endless litany of "mmms" to camera as she sips and dips around the kitchen. She's made a fortune from being the voice of comfort as a domestic goddess on cable cooking shows.
So it's a little surprising to see her take her place behind a judging table under bright network lighting in The Taste, ABC's new "food show like no other" – in other words, a culinary version of NBC's smash talent show The Voice.
"It's all about the taste, and nothing but the taste," Nigella announced in her signature perky style as the show began. This marked another departure for a »

'The Taste': Anthony Bourdain and the judges share 10 things to know about ABC's new cooking competition
22 January 2013 10:00 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC's new series "The Taste" is putting a new spin on cooking competitions, and it's got an all star line-up of chefs to help it succeed. "No Reservations" leading man Anthony Bourdain has teamed up with Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Brian Malarkey to act as mentors in the new reality series, and they think the show is something special.
In many ways, "The Taste" is similar to NBC's "The Voice," except with cooking instead of singing. Each judge picks a team of chefs and then mentors that group until there's only one cook left standing, but with "The Taste" there's a twist. Despite working with their chefs they progress through the season, "The Taste's" judges sample all of the food in a blind taste test without knowing who made it, and they have to judge the dishes solely off of the taste of the spoonful they try.
