Fans of popular FOX dramas like “24” and “Prison Break” can now rest easy after missing the latest episode of their favorite show: the network giant has just announced the arrival of their library on Apple iTunes.
Along with favorites like the aforementioned series and “The Shield,” the library will also include access to episodes of “Black.White,” “30 Days,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Firefly,” as well as nine more shows from 20th Century Fox.
In this month’s issue of Vanity Fair, Nicole Richie surprises no one except perhaps her lingering fan base of betrayed anorexic teens by confessing that maybe, possibly, she could stand to be force-fed a bacon double cheeseburger or three.
“I know I’m too thin right now, so I wouldn’t want any young girl looking at me and saying, ‘That’s what I want to look like,'” Richie is quoted as saying. Kudos to Richie for being unafraid to state the obvious. As these before-and-after pictures show, Richie’s frame has slowly dwindled away in recent years, bringing her dangerously close to her original birth weight:
Ever the competitive one, former Nicole Richie BFF Paris Hilton provided an equally jaw-dropping revelation this week, admitting to being just a wee bit too much of a talentless, back-stabbing, fame-crazed whore.
For all the times the producers of “24” like to twist and turn the story into making villains out of the unlikeliest of people, sometimes a weasel is just a weasel. And I’m not talking about President I.M. Weasel, but Miles, Karen Hayes’ ever-faithful lapdog. He rolled on Hayes the second he knew the score, and if the scenes of next week’s episode are any indication, the recording, the one that should have been played over the phone to CTU, recorded and uploaded to Limewire, Kazaa, anywhere else (hence this week’s episode title), is about to get zapped by the “patriotic” Miles. Of course, you know that Jack has a backup plan. We just don’t know what it is yet.
The funniest thing I learned in the last week is that apparently a “24” drinking game has sprung up, where viewers drink every time Jack says, “Damn it.” Even funnier, Kiefer Sutherland knows about the game, and sometimes will string together three “damn its” in a row. You’ve been warned, “24” alkies.
Dr. Romano isn’t messing around, is he? When Jack snuck through the perimeter after having the pilot/FOR (Friend of Robocop) land the plane on a highway, Romano made it clear that Logan had failed him, and Logan knew what to do next, and Logan pulls out a GUN. Maybe I’m just being vain (and I am), but I think I’d choose the cyanide capsule. Still, what organization has the power to persuade the President of the United States to commit suicide? Anyone…? Bueller…?
Did anything else really happen this week? They landed the plane, Karen filled in Miles on the lowdown, Miles betrayed Karen…oh, right, the Warlock thing. They kept the Warlock at CTU until he came to, and then they basically let him go. I mean, this guy is a big time Russian terrorist, and they don’t even give him a police escort. They just throw him in the back of an ambulance. Gawd, why didn’t they just give him a gun while they were at it?
So yeah, the recording and the Warlock, those are pretty big flaws. They have three hours left to resolve them in a reasonable manner. On the bright side, we learned that Old Yeller will be back next week. Hopefully he gets to bite at least one bad guy before the day’s over.
At the tail end of his interview with Bullz-Eye.com, director Harold Ramis hemmed and hawed about the film he was starting to work on with Owen Wilson, not wanting to chat it up very much because “I’m so afraid someone will get wind of what it’s about,” conceding little more than that “it’s odd. Not odd in an uncommercial way, but it’s risky. It’s a big movie. So we’ll see if the studio has the heart for it.”
Finally, however, Ramis has gone on the record – though, sadly, not with Bullz-Eye – and admitted to VH-1 that the script he and Wilson have co-written is a comedy entitled “The Year 1,” that it’s vaguely reminiscent of Mel Brooks’ “History of the World, Pt. 1” (though, one hopes, more consistently funny), and that “it’s driven by fundamentalism and my concerns about fundamentalism.”
“It’s a look at the early history of civilization,” Ramis said, “using Genesis, the first book of the Bible, as kind of an emotional psycho-social template. It’s a comedy, and when you see it, it’s gonna feel like a broad ‘Ten Commandments’ parody more than anything. A sandal epic comedy.”
Hmmm. Well, all we can say is “tread carefully.” We still remember the poor, misguided people who picketed “Monty Python’s Life of Brian.”
To fans of NBC’s “The Office,” relative newcomer John Krasinski isn’t a stranger. In fact, he’s arguably the best part of the show and is on track to become the next big thing in Hollywood. Along with co-starring in a hit comedy series, John will be headlining two new features in 2007 (including “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, which he also wrote), as well as appearing in a handful of upcoming films like the Gregg Araki-directed “Smiley Face” and Christopher Guest’s latest “For Your Consideration.”
Fellow NBC alum Zach Braff has already proven that he’s a triple threat with his directorial debut “Garden State,” so it’ll be interesting to see what John can come up with over the next few years. You’ve got at least one fan, John. Keep up the good work.
