Amazon's second wave of pilots

0
0
Remember a year ago, when Amazon put up pilots for shows and let people select which ones would get made into a series? No? Did you watch Alpha House or Betas? Or the kids shows (Annebots, Creative Galaxy and Tumbleaf)? Compared to their closest rival Netflix, maybe crowdsourcing ideas and then releasing the episodes weekly didn't work. I mean, House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black both got critical love and popular love (judging by gifs), and even then people might mention Lilyhammer or Hemlock Grove, both of which are getting second seasons.



Well, they have a second wave of pilots for people to watch and vote on. Here's the run down of the programs, with some snap judgements of mine. You can watch (and vote them, too, if you're an Amazon Prime member or just sign up for the trial): HERE.



Adult Shows





Series: The After
Creators: Chris Carter (creator of The X-Files) wrote and directed this pilot, exec produced by Marc Rosen of Georgeville Television and produced by Gabe Rotter.
Cast: Aldis Hodge, Jamie Kennedy, Adrian Pasdar, Jason Lewis,Andrew Howard, Arielle Kebbel, Sharon Lawrence, Sam Littlefield, Louise Monot, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Brynn Bowie, Madison Bowie, Giovanni Lopes, Fred Cross, Stacey Rand, Greg Collins, Don Harvey, Rolando Boyce, Dove Meir, J.R. Cruz
Summary: Eight strangers are thrown together by mysterious forces and must help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation.
Snap judgement: It's a post-apocalytic drama/mystery that feels a lot like LOST. It's got a diverse (and hot male) cast and big name creator. Unfortunately, pilots for these sort of shows can be misleading, and it's too easy for a show like this to go off the rails.




Series: Bosch
Creators: Eric Overmyer (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Treme, Homicide, Law & Order) and Michael Connelly. Henrik Bastin of Fabrik Entertainment (“The Killing”) produced and Jim McKay directed the pilot.
Cast: Titus Welliver, Jamie Hector, Lance Reddick, Amy Aquino, Amy Price-Francis, Annie Wersching, Scott Wilson, Alan Rosenberg, Valerie Cruz, Abraham Benrubi, Jamie McShane, Eric Ladin, Scott Klace, Paul Vincent O'Connor, Troy Evans, Roberto Montesinos, Deji LaRay, DaJuan Johnson, Gregory Scott Cummins, Michelle N. Carter
Summary: Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling book series, Bosch (Titus Welliver), an LAPD homicide detective works to solve the murder of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court for the murder of a serial killer.
Snap judgement: This looks good, and I'm partial to a good adaptation of this mystery series. Internet TV has been short on detective shows, so I want to see more of this show.




Series: The Rebels
Creators: Jeremy Garelick (The Break-Up and The Wedding Ringer)
Cast: Natalie Zea, Hayes MacArthur, Josh Peck, Affion Crockett, Billy Dee Williams, Aidan Potter, Derick Neikirk, Brian White, Kurt Fuller, James Le Feurve, Nichole Weber, James Grace, Stephanie Corneliussen, Mike Hagerty, Ignacio Serricchio, Marc Evan Jackson, Michael Auteri
Alternate viewing link : http://jannajives.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-rebels-s01e01-pilot-webrip-xvid-fum.html#more
Summary: Julie (Natalie Zea) is in over her head when her husband suddenly dies leaving her as sole owner of The LA Rebels, a pro-football team. It's a comedy.
Snap judgement: So awful and cliched. Just no. Worst of the bunch! I'd rather watch the new Star Wars Rebels cartoon.







Series: Mozart in the Jungle
Creators: Created by Paul Weitz (About A Boy), Roman Coppola (The Darjeeling Limited), Jason Schwartzman (Moonrise Kingdom) and Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher). so hipster. much whatever. where's Wes Anderson?
Cast: Gael Garcia Bernal, Malcolm McDowell, Bernadette Peters, Lola Kirke, Constantine Maroulis, Jennifer Kim, Peter Vack, Bob Dishy, Joshua Bell (cameo as himself), Hannah Dunne, Raymond McAnally
Summary: Sex, drugs--and classical music--what happens behind the curtains at the symphony can be just as captivating as what happens on stage. Based on the book Mozart in the Jungle by Blair Tindall.
Snap judgement: Easily the most star-studded cast in the bunch. I mean, Gael Garcia Bernal is hot despite that awful wig. The writing however is forced in some spots, and the effects look cheap. I want to like this comedy, and it might be an uphill battle but I'm rooting for it.





Series: Transparent
Creators: Jill Soloway (Six Feet Under, United States of Tara) wrote and directed the pilot.
Cast: Jeffrey Tambor, Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Landecker, Rob Huebel, Judith Light, Henry Simmons, Jay Duplass, Lawrence Pressman, Sawyer Ever, Alison Sudol, Abby Ryder Fortson, Brett Paesel, Juana Samayoa, Zackary Drucker, Clementine Greevy, Melissa Stephens
Summary: An LA family with serious boundary issues have their past and future unravel when a dramatic admission causes everyone's secrets to spill out. A dark comedy about the dad (Jeffrey Tambor) transitioning to female.
Snap judgement: Haven't got around to watching it, but it has Judith Light, so I will watch. It's been called the best of the adult pilots. I guess the gender diversity makes up for the lack of racial diversity, but another cis actor playing a transgendered character makes me wary.



Kids' Shows




Series: The Jo B. & G. Raff Show
Creator: Emmy Award-winner Josh Selig (Sesame Street, The Wonder Pets)
Cast : voices by Audrey Arbeeny, Vanessa Jones
Summary: An animated show for pre-schoolers about friendship. Every episodes starts with G. Raff going missing and Jo B. has to find G. Raff.
Snap judgement: Cute but I don't really care much about it. It's just another show for preschoolers. I mean, I wouldn't vote for it, but how can you vote against it?


Series: Wishenpoof!
Creators: Angela Santomero (Blue's Clues, Super Why!, Creative Galaxy)
Cast: voices by Addison Holley, Allison Augustin, Scott McCord, Alyson Court
Summary: Bianca has "wish magic", the power to make wishes come true.
Snap judgement: It's too much like Doc McStuffins and Sofia the First. I'm not too fond of gendered kids cartoons either.


Series: Hardboiled Eggheads
Creators: Duane Capizzi (Superman/Doomsday, Men in Black: The Series, Transformers Prime)
Cast: voices by Jessica DiCicco, Tara Strong, Nika Futterman, John DiMaggio, Kari Wahlgren, Maile Flanagan
Summary: Miles and Kelvin are two brainiacs who to correct the mistakes of science by battling monsters born of toxic waste, martians lured to Earth, or even killer vegetables.
Snap judgement: Easily my least favorite of the kids pilots despite the strong roster of voice actors. Gendered in the opposite way with junior STEM-holes. Seriously, only the boys do science and they're white and Asian? GTFO.


Series: Gortimer Gibbon's Life On Normal Street
Creators: David Anaxagoras (first-time writer and producer)
Cast: Sloane Morgan Siegel, Drew Justice, Ashley Boettcher, Logan Shroyer, Robyn Lively, Fionnula Flanagan
Summary: "Life is anything but normal for Gortimer and his two best friends, Ranger and Mel, as they navigate Normal Street - an ordinary suburb that has a hint of something magical just beneath the surface."
Snap judgement: NEGL, I'm a sucker for live action kids shows that celebrate the weird and quirky in everyday life (Adventures or Pete & Pete and Eerie, Indiana), so I like this show. It has potential.


Series: Maker Shack Agency
Creators: Evan Bregman (Massholes, K-Town) and Electus Studios (The Hero, Killer Women, and Get Out Alive)
Cast: Kalama Epstein, Gregory E. Freeman, Gianna LePera, Craig Cackowski, Brian Baumgartner, and a ton of kids
Summary: No invention is out of reach for makers Wolfie, Jo and Merle, as they create gadgets to help other kids out at their school in Akron, Ohio. "The production crew will team up with research and development company, Applied Minds, and their scientists, engineers and programmers to design exciting gadgets that will be featured in the show to inspire a new generation of inventors."src
Snap judgement: Best of the kids pilots. Lots of diversity, STEM science that is realistic, and humor.

Cate Blanchett's secret of a happy marriage? Sharing an email address!

0

Star lifts the lid on 16 years of wedded bliss!
The Hollywood shares email with her playwright husband Andrew Upton; Claims she trusts him but checks his messages because 'he hates emails

Cate Blanchett's latest role as a socialite who is incapable of keeping tabs on her philandering husband in the film Blue Jasmine has made her the bookies’ favourite to win the Best Actress Oscar next month.

But the Hollywood star knows exactly what her real-life husband is up to because they share the same email address and she even reads his messages.

Blanchett, 44, says she does trust her husband, the playwright Andrew Upton, but checks his correspondence because ‘he hates emails’.

The mum of three, who until last year ran the Sydney Theatre Company with Upton, said: ‘We work together and it’s a way of synchronising our lives. I can see what he’s up to – it’s not that I don’t trust him.’


The star, who already has an Oscar for her role in the 2004 Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator, says she still manages to be a hands-on mum to her three sons despite the pressures of Hollywood.

She likened family life at her luxury home in Sydney to ‘a well-oiled machine’.

She said: ‘I’ve got a whole system going. I know what has to be done by the end of the evening, and what has to be done by the end of the morning.

Three lunch boxes, three school bags, three sets of school uniform. Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I have to write everything down.’



Blanchett is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars but insists she has never been away from Dashiell, 12, Roman, nine, and Ignatius, five, for more than six days.

She said: ‘When we did Blue Jasmine in San Francisco, they came with me. I’m about to do a Cinderella film for Disney, and that’s over the holidays, so they’ll come too.’

Blanchett, whose big-screen credits include The Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit movies, Elizabeth and Notes On A Scandal, hopes she hasn’t peaked yet despite critics calling her star turn in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine a career highlight.

She added: ‘My peaks are not necessarily the media’s peaks.’

The star, who was interviewed for the website Cool Hunt, says there are times when she hates acting. But she said: ‘It’s a vocation, something I feel compelled to do. The work is not simple, but I do love it.’

Oscars 2014: The Omens Are Everywhere

0
0

With most of the major precursor awards out of the way, how are we to tell how the Oscar race is progressing -- who's pulling ahead, who's falling behind? In the absence of the usual tea leaves and goat entrails, we have to find other omens, and we can find them almost anywhere.

For instance, Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood issue, with its usual three-panel cover photo, by Annie Leibovitz, of a gaggle of glamorous current A-listers and A-list hopefuls, came out this week. And, as befits the awards year of "12 Years a Slave,""Fruitvale Station,""Lee Daniels' The Butler," and "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" -- well, one out of four, anyway -- a full six of the 12 stars are black. (Indeed, there have probably never been so many black people on Vanity Fair's cover.) Of course, on the newsstand, you'll only see the four stars in the first panel -- Chiwetel Ejiofor, Julia Roberts, Idris Elba, and George Clooney. Still, that's a striking contrast: the old guard, Roberts and Clooney, along with "12 Years" Best Actor nominee Ejiofor and "Mandela" star Elba. Not too shabby.

And then, on the foldout, in the eye-grabbing center of the spread, is "12 Years" breakout star Lupita Nyong'o, standing in a gold sheath gown that makes her look like an Oscar. Is that a prediction that she's favored to win Best Supporting Actress? Not necessarily. After all, fellow nominee Roberts is in the picture, too, and on the front cover. Then again, no one thinks Roberts has a chance of winning. And you don't see Jennifer Lawrence in the picture, do you? So it looks good for Nyong'o.

In one of the last guild awards, Hollywood screenwriters of the Writers Guild of America chose "Captain Phillips" as Best Adapted Sceenplay and "Her" as Best Original Screenplay. Does that give these movies the inside chance among the writers who vote for Academy Awards? Yes it does, though "12 Years" has a very good shot at Adapted Screenplay as well.

Emmanuel Lubezki was honored by his fellow cinematographers with the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Award for his work on "Gravity." Does that mean he'll probably win the Oscar, too? Given the overlap among voters in that category, probably yes. Does it mean "Gravity" has a shot at other non-technical prizes? Not necessarily.

Pharrell was the first of the nominated song performers to RSVP to the Academy telecast producers. Does the fact that he'll be performing "Happy" mean he'll win the Original Song Oscar? Not necessarily ("Let It Go," from sing-along favorite "Frozen," still has the edge), but it does mean the other performers will have to step up their game to keep up with the "Despicable Me 2" nominee.

Then there are the grimmer events.

Might the current revival of the Woody Allen-Dylan Farrow mess have an averse effect on "Blue Jasmine"'s Oscar chances? (Yes, it seems perverse to think about such a horrible story in light of how it might affect someone's chances to take home a prize, but that's where we are.) After all, in her now-infamous letter to the New York Times, Farrow called out Best Actress nominee Cate Blanchett by name. Blanchett issued a diplomatic reply, hoping for resolution and healing that will probably never happen. Currently, Blanchett is all but a lock for Best Actress, and unless she's foolish enough to wade deeper into the muck of allegations and counter-allegations, there's probably nothing she can do that will harm her chances.

On the flip side, co-star Sally Hawkins is the longest of longshots for Supporting Actress, as is Allen for Best Original Screenplay, but then, those were the odds before this scandal re-emerged, too. Hollywood may re-think the question of whether there's a moral cost to working with Allen or supporting his work at awards time -- but most voters' minds probably won't be changed. After all, Roman Polanski managed to win in absentia for directing "The Pianist" a decade ago, and Hollywood A-listers continued to flock to Europe to work with him.


Finally, there was the unwelcome addition of Philip Seymour Hoffman to the In Memoriam montage. (Also, fellow Best Actor winner, Maximilian Schell, but he was 83 and not a cautionary tale.) It's hard to guess what impact the loss of an actor everyone admired, but who died so young, and in such a sordid fashion, will have on the race; perhaps none. Still, the ceremony's producers have decided that the show's theme this year will be heroes. Right now, the four acting categories seem to be locks for Nyong'o, Blanchett, and "Dallas Buyers Club" unlikely AIDS activists Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.

Hoffman's death -- along with the slate of nominated performances this year -- reminds us that even our heroes are deeply flawed, while our villains have an almost heroic charisma. A humble recognition of our common, flawed humanity may not be what the Academy wanted to present this year, but it's what we'll get.

I'm really excited about this episode and I don't even know why. Here have some Spemily from last episode because they're my favorite characters. Hanna and Mona are slightly behind them, and none for Aria's basic ass. I'm still waiting for her to be A, tbh.

ALMA Award Winning Vocalist and Author Jennifer Lynn López discusses her upcoming memoir, True Love.

Jennifer Lopez has admitted she still loves ex-husband Marc Anthony and that they are each other's biggest supporters despite their split.

The American Idol judge told Glamour that he would feature in her upcoming book, True Love, which is a behind-the-scenes memoir of her first world tour.

Asked if she still loved Marc, she replied: "I do. I love him as the father of my children and as my friend. That doesn't mean that we were meant to be in a marriage forever though."

She added: "He knows he's in [the book] and he's very curious, but he's a big supporter of mine. He's my biggest fan and I'm his."

J-Lo said of writing the book after they broke up: "I needed something bigger than the pain I was feeling at that moment. I really grew up that year."


The actress and singer also said she felt that being famous wasn't for everyone, but that she knew her job was to entertain people.

Asked if it was a lot of pressure having her life scrutinised in the press, she said: "It is. And that's why this job is not for everybody. It has amazing rewards, but it also has moments where you're not feeling good and nobody wants to know about it.

"And by the way, I don't think I should let them know. My job is to show up, entertain and be creative - everything else doesn't matter."

Miley Cyrus reveals Tour Merch

Back in November, Miley Cyrus released a few teaser videos for her upcoming Bangerz Tour. There was twerking, of course, and plenty of wagging tongues, and one giant, dancing foam finger. Everyone in the videos was decked out in puff-painted, homemade Miley-gear, and now, just as we'd hoped/dreamed/guessed (#psychics), it looks like her official tour merch will have that exact same kind of DIY vibe.

Miley tweeted a few sneak peek pics of her Bangerz swag this weekend, which included a "Marry Me Miley" tee (colored with markers, covered in emoji-style icons and modeled by her BFF/personal assistant, Cheyne "Bew Bew" Thomas), foam finger nail wraps (fingers on fingers is so #meta) and one very cheeky (pun intended) scribbled-on pair of tighty-whitey briefs (which, BTW, has the same open-mouth design as the T-shirt Cyrus wore in one of her tour videos).

It’s a Girl! Teen Mom 3 Star Mackenzie Douthit McKee Welcomes Her Second Child!!!!

It’s a baby girl for Mackenzie Douthit McKee! In Touch can exclusively reveal details about the birth. The Teen Mom 3 star, 19, and her husband, Josh McKee, 20, welcomed a daughter around 12:43 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, in Miami, Okla.

“I am so thankful for a healthy baby girl,” Mackenzie tells In Touch. They named her Jaxie Taylor – a homage to her grandfather Jack. Taylor is Mackenzie’s middle name as well.

“Many friends and family were praying and everything went great!” she adds. “She is a beautiful miracle from God. I feel very blessed.”

The little one came in at 8 lbs., 9 oz. and 19 inches long via C-section. “My blood sugars and the baby’s were fine during the delivery,” says the reality star, who’s already mom to 2-year-old son Gannon.

Doctors warned Mackenzie against having a second child, since she’s a type 1 diabetic, which means she could slip into a coma during labor. But the teen was intent on having another baby. In fact, Mackenzie says she credits Jaxie’s birth for saving her relationship.

“Jaxie saved my marriage with Josh and kept our love alive,” she tells In Touch. The two were married in August 2013.

“God’s timing is not always our timing, but He always knows best.”

Lady Gaga to shoot creative project at Hearst Castle

neptune1

Two icons — Hearst Castle and Lady Gaga — will come together next week when the pop singer begins a creative project at the former estate of media magnate William Randolph Hearst. Shooting dates have not been confirmed, according to Remar Sutton, board member of the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation. He did not give details of the project but said it was much more involved than a music video, for instance.

While there, Lady Gaga will also tape a water-conservation public service announcement and a short feature on the castle’s uniqueness, to be donated to the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation. The flamboyant entertainer and art lover has toured the castle before and has a keen interest in its art work and the extraordinary detail of its architecture – especially the ceilings, Sutton said.


Lady Gaga, her parents and her associates have agreed to donate $250,000 to the foundation, pay the castle’s standard $22,100 special event fee and reimburse the state for all costs related to the production. That includes extra staffing for heightened security and rearranged tour routes.

She also has agreed to underwrite a $25,000 study evaluating the feasibility of connecting two wells in the San Simeon Campground to Cambria’s water system. Doing so could help stabilize the water supply for the community and State Parks. (Hearst Castle is now a state park.) Cambrians are under Stage 3 water restrictions, the most stringent in a set of regulations imposed during water shortages.

The castle is perhaps best known for its eccentric creator/owner, extensive art collection, ties to the entertainment industry and the estate’s heyday between 1919 and 1940. But a Lady Gaga video could put the monument firmly on the radar of the millennial generation, many of whom may not even have heard of Hearst Castle. Local production is expected to take about three days, during which time tour routes may be rearranged somewhat. However, some tour takers may be able to see filming-related activities. Dozens of area hotel rooms were expected to be occupied by the more than 125 crew members involved with the production.

The Deed of Trust between Hearst Corp. and the state of California prohibits commercial enterprises at the castle. But corporation officials can approve such uses if they will benefit the castle and state residents, according to Stephen Hearst, vice president and general manager of the corporation’s western properties. Hearst said in a telephone interview Saturday that he agreed to allow the commercial-venture taping on the hilltop because of Lady Gaga’s $250,000 donation and commitment to help promote the preservation foundation and the monument.


Neptune Pool

A related -- if temporary benefit -- of the Lady Gaga production is that the world-famous but leaky outdoor Neptune Pool is being refilled for the taping sessions. Because of the historic California drought, State Parks last month began draining the 345,000 gallons of water in the 95-by-104-foot pool, using it to irrigate castle plantings. Special connections were made between the pool and the irrigation system. The pool reportedly loses 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water a day due to evaporation and to leaks that are due to be repaired, perhaps as early as this summer. It wasn’t prudent, officials said, to continue those losses at a time when water supplies are so low.

The Hearst Corp. donated the water to top off the pool for the Lady Gaga production, estimated at about 100,000 gallons, Hearst said. And the water? It still will be used to irrigate the gardens, as it would have been if it had been left in the reservoir, Hearst said. “We haven’t ‘spent’ any water,” he noted. “We’re just storing it somewhere different” for awhile. The nonprofit preservation foundation’s primary mission is to help preserve and restore Hearst Castle's 25,000 artifacts and artworks.

B.J. Novak on Mindy Kaling Dating Rumors: "We might be better off as best friends."

0
0

While appearing on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, Novak playfully clarified the status of his off-camera relationship with Kaling when a caller inquired about it after commenting on how they had such great chemistry on the show.

"I would say it was a great and terrible chemistry, and it reflected what we were like in real life," the 34-year-old actor said. "No one ever knew if we were together or not, including us. We weren't always on the same page on a given day or a given hour. We fought a lot. We were each other's best friends. We were inseparable and not talking to each other, often on the same day. And people didn't know, if she was gone, they would ask me where she was, and vice versa. We were like E.T. and Elliott a little bit."

He added, "But it was hard to define, and I think very funny to people witnessing it, and that's what actually gave them the idea to write Ryan and Kelly that way."

Host Andy Cohen then proceeded to pipe in and remark, "Everyone wants you to be together, and everyone wants you to get married, basically."

"Yes, but nobody wants us to get divorced," Novak noted. "I think you have to be very careful when you have an explosive connection with somebody. We might be better as best friends."

E!




B.J. Novak's Reddit AMA

We have a "Ryan Howard" in my office - he's a freelancer with a similar personality to Ryan and who has a bizarre resemblance to you. Since senior management refuses to get rid of the guy, despite incredibly sub-par work, we're forced to deal with his absolutely asinine personality. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with him?

Turn a camera on him and surround him with more talented people conveying more likeable and entertaining and occasionally romantic storylines. $$$$$$$$$$$$


Who were you closest with on the set of "The Office"?

I was closest with Mindy Kaling, and also least close with Mindy Kaling, on a minute-by-minute basis. And I wouldn't trade it for the word. Actually, I would trade it for the world. What am I talking about: I'd trade it for a more consistently positive relationship with Mindy Kaling. She's the best.


Who is the most naturally funny person on "The Office"?

David Koechner, who played Todd Packer.


What is one scene from "The Office" that, no matter how hard you tried, you/the cast just couldnt get through without laughing? And what was so funny?

Kevin sitting on Michael's lap in one of the later Christmas episodes. Michael was playing Santa, and Kevin didn't realize he was absolutely crushing Michael while he took his sweet time figuring out what present he wanted to ask Santa for.


What was your favorite episode that you wrote for "The Office"?

The episode of "The Office" that I wrote that I'm proudest of is the first one I wrote, "Diversity Day." The show was completely new and I was assigned this amazing comedic opportunity to write what happened in this incredibly rich situation. The only question was, how far were we allowed to go? Not just with the jokes, but with the characters -- with their ignorance, their mistakes, their discomfort? It turned out really far, and learning that helped all of the writers learn that we were going to be able to write the show we wanted to write; and helped the actors learn that they better ground the characters in some real humanity, because they were going to be taken to some pretty raw places.


Were you happy about how "The Office" ended?

Yes. I think it was a really great final episode, and I love that the final episode acknowledged the impact that the documentary crew had on everyone's lives, and also continued the story with the characters. And on a personal level I loved that Ryan literally ran off into the sunset with Kelly -- but abandoned a baby in order to do so. So funny and dark and happy perfect. Greg Daniels deserves all the credit in the world for wrapping up the series the way he started it out.


If the cast of "The Office" was suddenly trapped on a desert island, who would be eaten first? What would they taste like?

Dwight would eat everyone, the first day. Even if there was an abundant food source on the desert island.


In high school did John Krasinski stare into the camera and shrug every so often?

Constantly. We all thought he was crazy. Little did we know!


Were you and John Krasinski friends in high school? Did you ever think you guys would be acting together in the future? Thanks so much for coming to the school, had a blast last time you were there!

We acted together in the Senior Show our senior year. He was incredibly talented and the show was a lot of fun, but no, it never occurred to me that anyone would do anything together after high school. Who ever imagines that?

I sometimes think that if I were to wake up and it turned out "The Office" was all a dream, the fact that John Krasinski was in it with me would be what I'd realize afterward should have been the obvious tip-off. "Oh! And John Krasinski was in it, too! But they called him Jim! And there was a beet farmer... Whoa, so weird"


What's Mindy Kaling's deepest darkest secret?

She shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.


When did you know you were famous?

I was the new guy on "Punk'd" before I was on "The Office." I thought that would be my "thing" for the rest of my life- and I was fine with it! I was in Denver the week after "Punk'd" first aired, to open for the comic Nick Swardson at Comedy Works, and I was sitting in a Starbucks, and a guy walked past the window, stopped, and stared at me, before resuming his walk. Then the next guy did the same thing. Then the next guy. It was the most amazing, strange thing that had ever happened to me. I'll never forget that day.


How does it feel to be on "SNL"? What is your favorite news segment you've done?

This is my most common celebrity confusion. I have regularly been complimented for my work on Weekend Update or (back in the day) my John Kerry impression. Big Seth Meyers fan. I ain't mad at it.


What is your typical writing process like?

9am. Wake up, turn on some music I like, put on a pot of coffee, and sit down to start writing! A few productive hours and then a break for lunch, and then a couple of more hours if possible: sounds like a plan! 9:15am-4:30pm: Read, text, look up stuff on the internet, read, text, look up stuff on the internet, in a trance cycle 4:30pm: Think "Jesus Christ, have I really done NOTHING all day?!? The day is almost f***ing over! I am really f***ing worthless." 4:30pm-7:30pm: Write like a maniac. 7:30pm: Decide, "okay, at least I got SOMETHING done today. Tomorrow, I'm going wake up early, be at my desk by 9, and really make up for lost time. REPEAT


Why do you always look disinterested?

It's just my face! I'm totally interested! I have been battling this my whole life. People think I hate them or don't want to be where I am. I think this should qualify as some sort of super-minor-but-real disability. I feel like when I tell this to people, I find it's much more common than people think.

10 (5) Surprise Celebrity Voices To Listen For In The LEGO Movie

0
0


Sometimes I need to be reminded that I pay way too much attention to the movies coming out in theaters. As we left a recent family screening of Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s amazing The LEGO Movie (which finally opens in theaters everywhere), I joked to my wife about the voices of a couple of superheroes in the film, and the meta nod it made to Lord and Miller’s Jump Street reboot. As it turns out, she didn’t recognize either of the voices, so the joke kind of flew right over her head.

Part of the fun of an animated movie – particularly one stuffed to the gills with major characters – is trying to place the celebrity voice who’s supporting a cartoon character on screen. Anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to LEGO Movie marketing knows that Chris Pratt of Parks and Rec voices Emmet, the main LEGO man in the movie. Will Arnett’s obviously the gravel-voiced Batman, and Will Ferrell voices Lord Business. But which other pop-culture staples can be heard throughout The LEGO Movie?

If you don’t want to be spoiled on a few of the surprises waiting for you in LEGO, bookmark this feature and come back after you’ve enjoyed the film. However, if you want to impress your family by pointing out these bits of vocal trivia, dig right in!


Bad Cop/Good Cop
There’s a point late in The LEGO Movie when the schizophrenic Good Cop/Bad Cop stats singing "Danny Boy," which should be a dead giveaway that this ruthless enforcer for Lord Business is played by Ireland’s own, Liam Neeson. Because his LEGO role demands that he fluctuate between sweetness and evil as he wrestles with his inner demons, Neeson’s allowed to channel his inner Oskar Schindler, as well as his Ra’s al Ghul. Just don’t show either of those films to your children as a LEGO Movie follow up. Not until they are much older.


Wonder Woman
So much for Marvel loyalty. Wonder Woman, in The LEGO Movie, is voiced by the lovely Cobie Smulders… who many of you might know as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill from the Avengers movie and Marvel’s own Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television show (where she occasionally appears). She also has a recognizable voice because millions tune in to her weekly sitcom How I Met Your Mother, where she plays Robin. So while Gal Gadot of the Fast & Furious franchise is actually schedule to step into Wonder Woman’s invisible jet for Zack Snyder’s pending Batman-Superman movie, Smulders gets the nod from Lord and Miller. Let’s hope that doesn’t create a rift over at Marvel as they gear up for The Avengers: Age of Ultron.


Shaquille O’Neal
Former Los Angeles Laker great Shaquille O’Neal earns the distinct pleasure of being the only person in The LEGO Movie who voices himself. That’s how famous Shaq is. There’s an actual LEGO of him, in a Lakers jersey, and Lord and Miller put him in the film. This isn’t the best photo of him, and he appears to be holding a pizza (for reasons I can’t remember… there’s a lot of stuff happening on screen in this movie!) But when you hear LEGO Shaq speak, it isn’t someone doing an impersonation. It’s the real deal.


Superman
Move over, Henry Cavill. When Lord and Miller needed an actor to lend his voice to the Man of Steel, they chose none other than… Magic Mike? Sure, Channing Tatum probably ranks as a superhero in the eyes of several female readers. But there’s a deeper connection going on with this casting. Tatum, of course, plays Jenko in both Jump Street movies, which were directed by LEGO helmers Lord and Miller. So this team is quickly becoming the Scorsese-DeNiro of absurd-humor movies. It also helps explain our next voice casting.


Green Lantern
There’s a funny "bromance" undercutting the scenes between Superman and Green Lantern in The LEGO Movie, which will make more sense once you realize that Lantern, in this film, is played by Jonah Hill. Yes, Tatum’s Jump Street partner also tries to be Superman’s bestie on screen here. And if these jokes are your cup of tea, you might as well get in line for 22 Jump Street, which has Hill and Tatum heading to college for more crime-fighting shenanigans.

Oldman did Bowie job 'for sandwich'

Gary Oldman told The Mail on Sunday's Event magazine: ‘Dave just shot me an email, out of the blue, saying,Do you want to come and play a priest for a day?” It was all done for a sandwich and a bottle of pop. We actually shot it in a place that’s about ten minutes from my house. There was no money in it. I didn’t even know that Marion was going to be in it until the day before, because he kept it all under the radar. People can make what they want of it, that’s the point of a video like that. He’s an artist, he makes you think. I was thrilled when he released the new album last year. I was talking on the phone to him and he said, “I don’t know about touring. I have no great desire to get out thereagain at the moment.” And I said, “But you’re writing again?” And he said he was. I think we’ll probably see him again. He’s planning something.’

'It was bloody good fun to see Dave. I've known him for years but we had lost touch a bit. Now we’ve reconnected. A friend of mine had been in a play and I went backstage after the performance and Dave walked in. We got talking, then we all went to dinner and by the time we got to cigarettes and coffee, as you did in those days, we did the chair-swapping and I got chatting with him. We got on really well. He comes from the same part of the world as I do. I didn’t want anything from him, he didn’t want anything from me.'

At the time of their meeting in 1988, Bowie had long been a superstar; Oldman had earned a Bafta nomination for the critically acclaimed film about Joe Orton, Prick Up Your Ears, but had yet to cement his reputation as one of Britain’s finest actors. Dave said, “This is where I’m staying, under this name, give me a call,” ’ says Oldman. ‘Which I didn’t do!’ He laughs. But then a couple of months later he called me. He was taking a break and doing some writing on Mustique, where he had a house at that time. He said, “Come over, I’ve got a spare room.” My son Alfie was only five months old at that time, but we went. And it was fantastic. Dave is a really nice guy. I see him less as “David Bowie” and more as Dave from Brixton and I’m Gary from New Cross. I was a fan of his music and I still am. We’re just mates.’

Game of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: Sansa Becomes a "Powerhouse Character"— Exclusive
By REBECCA MARTIN

The fact that Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) made it to Game of Thrones Season 4 in one piece is basically a miracle. Naive and timid, Sansa spent three seasons as the pawn in other people's games. But when Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Sophie Turner at the Christian Siriano Fall/Winter 2014 Collection show during New York Fashion Week, she promised that things are about to change for her character in a big way.

"There's a kind of big evolution [for Sansa in Season 4]," Sophie dished. "She begins to kind of manipulate the people who have done wrong to her in her past. She becomes a powerhouse character but in a very subtle way. It's really good."


Is Sophie excited about the new direction Sansa has taken? Of course! "I feel like I've been waiting for a moment where I can manipulate the people that have come before me, so it was like I had been waiting for it for so long. It was a release."

As for the season on a whole, Sophie promise "shocking stuff" and "more deaths, of course, because it's Game of Thrones."


Since we were at fashion week, we couldn't resist asking which Game of Thrones cast member has the best fashion sense when they're walking around the real world instead of Westeros. When we talked to Maisie Williams (Arya), she singled out Sophie, explaining that her on-screen sis "looks awesome all the time. She's got it right." Sophie returned the compliment, picking Maisie as the best off-screen dresser.

It sounds like both Stark girls are getting more dangerous this season, but in real life, they're clearly just as sweet as ever!

Game of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: Maisie Williams on Arya's "Scarier" Side — Exclusive
By REBECCA MARTIN

Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) has been a Game of Thrones fan favorite since the moment the rambunctious tomboy showed off her proficiency with weapons at Winterfell, and over the first three seasons she's continued to win hearts with her quips and sword skills. Now, you need to prepare to see the beloved character take a darker turn in Season 4 .

Wetpaint Entertainment had a chance to catch up with Maisie Williams at the Christian Siriano Fall/Winter 2014 Collection fashion show at New York Fashion Week, and the young star dished about what we can expect from Arya when HBO's fantasy epic returns in April.

"We've seen this kind of fun loving Arya who says it as it is and makes jokes, but this year she's starting to change and we're starting to see different sides to her," Maisie explained. "I don't know how people are going to react. They might love it, they might hate it, but I think she's becoming a lot more powerful in this world where women are getting bashed aside."

So, when Maisie says "more powerful," what does she mean? While she wouldn't spill specifics, she did hint that playing Arya this season was "more of a challenge" than in the past, because while tapping into Arya's sarcastic side came naturally — "that's kind of my go-to thing when I get nervous anyway!"— this season she had to channel a "scarier" side of the character that's "very different."

Arya's not the only thing that's changed this season. "There's not a big finale," Maisie added. "There's things dripped throughout, so it's not just leading up to the ending. There's other little twists in between." But don't worry, she's confident fans will "really, really like it."

While dress-hating Arya would probably fall asleep at a fashion show, Maisie also gushed that she's been having a blast at her first fashion week. "It's been amazing!" she told us. "I enjoyed it so much. I love the music. Christian [Siriano] as a person is absolutely hilarious and I love, love his clothes so I'm just thrilled to be here."

Part of me doesn't trust what Sophie is saying just because she's known for talking around storylines so as not to spoil. But given where it's headed, the manipulation bit is interesting.

Berlin: Eva Longoria Pushes Documentary 'Food Chains' to Raise Awareness

0

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is hoping to push the plight of farm laborers to the top of the U.S. policy agenda with the release of Food Chains, an activist documentary that she executive produced and which has its world premiere Monday as part of the Berlin Film Festival's Culinary Cinema sidebar. The film, directed by Sanjay Rawal, follows a group of tomato pickers in Florida - the Coalition of Immokalee Workers - who take on the $4 trillion global supermarket industry.

Despite her glam image, Longoria has been an outspoken advocate for farm workers rights for many years. “Long before I was famous,” the actress told THR. She has spoken to Congress and campaigned for fair work legislation for U.S. farmworkers. Longoria also produced the 2011 documentary Harvest, which looks at the fate of the hundreds of thousands of children that work as migrant laborers in the U.S. food industry. “There's more interest in food than ever before. Everyone is about organic and local and 'I don't eat Gluten.' but no thought is put to the people who pick the food that feeds us all.” Visit Films is handling worldwide sales of Food Chains and is presenting the documentary to buyers at Berlin's European Film Market.

Fox Entertains Idea That A Plus-Size Disney Princess Might Encourage Obesity

0
0


Fox News' idea for a debate on whether Disney should create a plus-size princess centered around the notion that such a princess might encourage obesity.

On February 6, Fox News' Fox & Friends discussed a Change.org petition for Disney to create a plus-size Disney princess. High school student Jewel Moore, who started the petition, envisions that such a princess would be a role model for "women who struggle with confidence and need a positivie [sic] plus-size character in the media."

Fox took the story and used it to entertain the notion that a plus-size Disney princess might encourage obesity and diabetes.

Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked, "Move over Cinderella. Disney under pressure to create a plus-size princess. Should they? We're going to debate that," before inviting on Emme, a plus-size supermodel, and Meme Roth, a self-described obesity expert. Roth declared that such a Disney princess would "glorify obesity." She speculated as to whether the teen petitioning Disney is obese and argued that "If you're going to do a storyline with obesity, then you need to do Princess Diabetes, Princess Cancer, Princess Fertility Problems." To Roth, the petition was "like mob mentality." When Hasselbeck asked, "Is plus-size fat?" Roth responded, "It's unhealthy. If you like cancer and diabetes, if you want fertility problems, then plus-size is beautiful."

Fox treated Roth's invective as credible. As she ranted against Emme, a proponent of the petition, an on-screen graphic wondered, "Who's right?"

Presenting Roth as an expert on body-image issues and entertaining her vitriolic remarks is merely a continuation of Fox & Friends' complicity with body-shaming.

The program has previously given a fitness model and mother who shamed other mothers about their bodies a platform to unapologetically defend her position.

It is unclear why Fox presented Roth as qualified to speak on the plus-size Disney princess issue -- she does not appear to have degrees in the nutrition or medical field, but instead is known for body-shaming through her National Action Against Obesity website and personal blog which carries the tag-line "MeMe Roth: Reporting From FATOPOLIS." She has compared obese people to sex criminals and advocated for nutrition plans that sound a lot like anorexia.

“Ugh I don’t know, let’s just go to dumb Starbucks.” If you’re like us, you’ve probably uttered something similar to this at some point in your coffee searches.

Well, now you can go to a real place called Dumb Starbucks in Los Feliz, which opened Friday, KPCC reports. The store at 1802 Hillhurst Ave. uses the Starbucks corporate logo and looks nearly identical to a real Starbucks, with “dumb” versions of its menu items.






Dumb Starbucks was open Saturday with steady business, according to KPCC.
The store even offers an FAQ, although notably missing is what the hell this thing actually is.

An Ethereal Goddess Post: Queen Lupita Pleads the 5th on Questions About her Dating Life

0
0

NEW YORK — Lupita Nyong'o does not so much walk into a room as glide through it (op: fuck yah she does; glides all the way into my heart).

The 30-year-old actress, who recently rocketed to fame for her portrayal of a physically and sexually abused plantation worker in the film 12 Years a Slave — a role that has earned her Screen Actors Guild and Critics Choice awards this year, as well as an Oscar nomination — is easily the most elegant creature in a high-end Midtown hotel bar. Chatting with her over morning tea, a less graceful mortal may find herself fighting the urge to check if there's a stain on her own shirt, or lint on her pants.

It's not just Nyong'o's delicately sculpted face, or her much-celebrated sartorial style, which has been lighting up red carpets. She is dressed pretty casually today, in jeans and a simple black top accessorized with a textured gray scarf. Still, there is a sense of almost aristocratic refinement about her. Nyong'o speaks softly and with perfect diction; she has the posture and poise of a trained dancer (which she is not, she says) and the preternatural composure of a Zen master, even when she giggles.


None of which should be surprising, given Nyong'o's lineage and training. The daughter of a prominent Kenyan politician, currently a senator for one of its 47 counties, Nyong'o first auditioned for Slave while preparing to graduate from the prestigious Yale School of Drama. Prior to that, she earned a degree in film and African studies at Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., and collected diverse credits, ranging from production runner on the 2005 film The Constant Gardener to director of the 2009 video documentary In My Genes to star of the Kenyan TV mini-series Shuga.

Slave, which director Steve McQueen and screenwriter John Ridley adapted from Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir of having been kidnapped as a free black man in New York and forced into slavery down South, marks Nyong'o's feature-film debut as an actress. "My manager had gotten the script for another client, Garret Dillahunt," who also appears in the movie as a white field worker. "She saw this role, Patsey, and thought I'd be good for it," says Nyong'o.

What followed was a series of "very intense, very challenging" auditions, as anyone who has seen Slave — up for a total of nine Academy Awards, including best film — might expect. Patsey is the property and obsession of a sadistic plantation owner, played by Michael Fassbender, and is consequently loathed by his jealous wife (Sarah Paulson). Over the course of the movie, Nyong'o's character is raped, cut, humiliated and, in an especially harrowing scene, whipped to within an inch of her life

"I knew it was going to be emotionally grueling," Nyong'o says. "Of course, you never really know what you're in for until you're actually in it. But I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to work on this meaty material, and to have been part of something so powerful and meaningful."

McQueen was as instantly taken with Nyong'o as he was with Fassbender, who also starred in the director's 2011 feature Shame, on their first meeting. "I've been very fortunate in my life to have worked with two actors with that sense of hunger and rawness," says McQueen. "(Nyong'o) has that quality of openness and nakedness; she studies who we are as humans, and can grapple with anything that involves."

Lupita Nyong'o landed her role in '12 Years a Slave' as she graduated from the Yale School of Drama. Nyong'o had suffered for her art, or at least in it, before. At 14, she made her professional debut as the doomed heroine of Romeo and Juliet in a production by the Nairobi-based repertory company Phoenix Players. Her roles at drama school included the unfortunate Sonya in Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, in a staging directed by Ron Van Lieu, the noted chair of Yale's acting department.

Theater had played a large role in Nyong'o's youth in Kenya. "My father used to act in high school. He was in a production of Othello; I don't know who he played, but it wasn't Othello. He would talk about it, though, and read Shakespeare to me." Nyong'o's mother, currently the managing director of the Africa Cancer Foundation and her own communications company, was also "something of a thespian. We always went to the theater."

Nyong'o describes her whole family — which includes an older sister and four younger siblings, among them a baby brother attending college in Florida — as "very artistic." One aunt, who worked as an animator, "also acted in repertory theater, and she would organize all the kids into performing whenever we had get-togethers."

Still, acting "wasn't something I saw as an exclusive career path. The industry," in Kenya, "barely existed." In her family's circles, "it was something you did after work, an extracurricular thing. We had lots of politicians and humanitarians and artists around, and performance and storytelling were just very much part of our lives."

Before attending Yale, Nyong'o says, she acted purely "out of instinct. But instincts can be unreliable — sometimes you're feeling that hunch, sometimes you're not. I went (to Yale) to develop technique, something I could count on more than just my whims."

She also learned flexibility, an asset that surely came in handy when filming her next role: a first-class flight attendant in the action thriller Non-Stop, which teams with her Liam Neeson and Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery, and arrives in theaters Feb. 28. Set on a flight from New York to London, it casts Neeson as an air marshal who receives a text message from a passenger threatening to kill another passenger unless he has $150 million transferred to an offshore account.

The shoot "was as different as it could be" from that for Slave: "One was in a studio, the other on location; one mainly indoors, the other mainly outdoors; one very fluid, the other very technical. It's been an incredible introduction to this world of film, and I've had masters to learn from, and very generous human beings."

As her profile has risen, Nyong'o has also been initiated into a different, albeit related, world: that of fashion. Posing in an assortment of stunning frocks in vivid hues, the actress has been a regular on Harper's Bazaar's Derek Blasberg's Best-Dressed List since early fall, says Joyann King, director of digital marketing for Harper's.

"(Nyong'o)'s able to wear fashion without it wearing her," says King, who cites the actress's fondness for a "bevy of primary colors" and her "genuine smile" as consistent standouts on red carpets, and praises her championing of different designers. It was announced recently that Nyong'o and Elizabeth Olsen will represent Miu Miu in the Prada-spawned brand's 2014 spring campaign.

"It has been a very steep learning curve," says Nyong'o, who insists that she is the unlikeliest of style icons. "I never purchased (fashion) magazines, was never really aware of the industry. I just liked to wear what I liked to wear, you know? So it's been a total surprise — but a welcome one, the way I've been embraced."

She credits her "amazing stylist," Micaela Erlanger, who has also garnered attention for her work with Dockery. "Micaela's able to take my taste and translate it," says Nyong'o, who describes that taste as both "classic and modern — sophisticated but with a sense of humor."

Nyong'o adds she is "learning to appreciate that fashion is art. I know it is, because art is moving, and a few weeks ago, I put on a dress and, for the first time, it moved me to tears. I actually panicked for a moment! It was a couture gown, and I just imagined the number of hands that had put all these beads into place, and it made me cry." (Nyong'o won't say who the designer is.)

"I always love to learn new things," Nyong'o says. "That's the reason I like being an actor. I want to have a varied human experience, to do things outside of my comfort zone. I want to be uncomfortable — acting is uncomfortable. I'm interested in doing things that terrify me."

Nyong'o isn't yet sure what her next adventure will be. "I have some things that I'm reading," she allows, and she also plans to revisit the stage at some point. "The muscles you flex in theater are muscles that you really need. I must always find a way to get back there. It's irreplaceable."

Moving around for different projects likely won't be an issue for Nyong'o, who notes, "I'm so far away from home that I don't really feel rooted anywhere. Home is where my family is." She does speak fondly of her current base, Brooklyn, where she enjoys "an occasional dose of night life," but says her busy awards-season schedule hasn't allowed much time for making new friends. (Asked if she's dating anyone, Nyong'o laughs and says, "I plead the Fifth.")

The awards ceremonies themselves have been daunting. "I've been lucky, because my category"— supporting actress — "usually comes up pretty quickly. But it's a very odd feeling; it would be one thing to know you're going to win and prepare for that, but it's another to know that maybe you'll win. It's a wonder I've been able to keep everything in my stomach."

Still, Nyong'o says she's not nervous about Oscars night — for which she hasn't yet picked an outfit, she insists.

"I'm just excited that I've been nominated, and that I get to go," she says. "Every step along the way has been a bonus, and this is the ultimate bonus. And what it means is that this film is being seen, and celebrated. That's the biggest gift, and the most exciting thing of all."
