In case you missed it during the West Wing finale last night, NBC aired this trailer for its high-profile new Aaron Sorkin project, “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”
The trailer doesn’t reveal too much, but with this much talent both in front of and behind the camera, and NBC’s clearly significant support for the show, “Studio 60” should be a winner next fall…as long as Sorkin can keep his nose clean.
“Gladiator” is being made into a musical in London. Russell Crowe’s role will be played by a relative unknown from TV’s “Crossing Jordan.” Insert your own joke here, incorporating one or more of the following elements:
a) cell-phone throwing;
b) “Fightin’ Round the World;”
c) the obligatory “Brilliant Mind” pun; or
d) something involving the words “Cinderella” and “Man”
Have fun.
The couple is reportedly “working with Namibian craftsmen to produce a variety of rugs, pottery and other household items,” and plan to donate the proceeds to a Namibian community.
In related news, Angelina Jolie also announced that she will be partnering with Stanley Tools and Home Depot to launch her own line of “Homewrecker” brand demolition tools.
Momentarily choking back enough bile to eat through all of the arachnids in “Starship Troopers,” feuding spouses Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen reached a temporary custody agreement on Friday. The pair also expressed the desire to settle their divorce peacefully and in private:
“Denise and Charlie are working with the Courts to privately resolve their differences regarding their children,” the pair said in a joint statement. “They hope to resolve this matter outside of the public forum and will both continue to make every effort in this regard.”
So, did they reach that decision before or after the restraining order, the sleeping-with-former-best-friend’s-rock-star-husband, and the accusing-estranged-husband-of-watching-kiddie-porn?
After? It was after, wasn’t it? Yes, definitely after.
Um, something about closing the barn door after the horse has escaped comes to mind here. Was that in a Charlie Sheen movie?
ESPN columnist Bill Simmons, aka the Sports Guy, in trying to build a bridge to his non-sports-oriented wife, has come up with a whole new way for Hollywood gossipmongers like us to waste many precious minutes every day: the Us Weekly fantasy league. Do they honestly think this will increase magazine subscriptions?
The rules are simple:
“Here’s how it works: 10 teams, auction format, $200 cap, five male and five female celebs per roster. Scoring is head-to-head for 22 weeks, playoffs over the last three (so you can have two seasons per year). OK, let’s say you pay $55 for Lindsay Lohan. If she makes the cover of Us, you get 10 points (three for the inset photo). Every other Lohan picture inside is worth one. If she appears in the Fashion Police, you’re docked three. That’s it. Simple.
You can add or drop your celebs each Monday. Like maybe you want to dump Jake Gyllenhaal (because the whole Brokeback thing has played out) and grab Josh Hartnett (because he’s dating Scarlett Johansson). Then again, you might want to hang on to Gyllenhaal. He’s single and his number might be up in the Lohan deli line.”
Of course, as Us Weekly points out, “Gyllenhaal is not single and Lindsay Lohan is now getting her meat from Kate Moss’ ex Jamie Burke — which is why your wife will totally own you in this league. Brilliant idea. Game on.”
Sadly, no online site has yet taken it upon itself to actually facilitate the building of this league. If Us Weekly has any business acumen whatsoever, they’ll rectify that tout de suite.
