remainders - Defamer To Do

To Do: Your Weekend Wandering In The Desert

Friday
· Gnarls Barkley (featuring Danger Mouse & Cee-Lo) will be at the Roxy for a not-so-secret show in, oh, about three hours. Leave now.
· The ArcLight screens Water with a Q&A with the director's daughter, the author of Shooting Water, the story of how the two reconnected. Got that? No? Then read this.
Saturday
· In case you live under the proverbial rock, Saturday is the first day of Coachella. Have fun in the desert with 70,000 or so of your best friends.
· Literary supergroup Rock Bottom Remainders (Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, Scott Turow, Amy Tan, Mitch Albom, Matt Groening, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, and Greg Iles) put on a benefit concert for 826LA at UCLA's Royce Hall. You really haven't lived until you've seen Dave Barry rock out with his cock out.
Sunday
· Day two of Coachella has you tired, broken, and wishing you were home on the couch, but overcome any quitter's impulse by taking some more drugs to ride out any moments of weakness.
· Those not still stranded in Indio can relax at the spoken-word Tongue & Groove event at the Hotel Cafe.

Coachella Rumormongering: Cruise At The Turntable

It's merely a subject line in the Coachella message board's gossip thread, so we're not sure it qualifies as anything more substantial than total hearsay, but CityRag points us to five little words that we feel compelled to share: Tom Cruise DJ Set Rumor. More »

diesel-anderson - Defamer In Brief

Pam Anderson Gives Apes, Vin Diesel A Voice

We're not entirely sure how Pamela Anderson goes about choosing an oppressed species upon which to focus her tireless animal rights crusade, though we like to imagine it involves a hotel suite filled with drunken strippers and a round of Spin the Bottle modified to incorporate the use of an Old McDonald See 'n Say. In any case, Anderson has moved on from the shores of her home and native land and its seal-clubbing controversy to the more localized topic of the use of orangutans in show business, a practice she condemns in an editorial she wrote for the Opinion Journal: More »

Friday Fun Time: Blowing Up Paramount


Look, it's Friday afternoon, you can almost hear those $8 beers at Coachella calling your name, and you could use a little pick-me-up to get you through the rest of the day. We've got what you need: some video of shit blowing up at Paramount. Turn up your speakers and lose yourself in the pleasant week-ending fantasy that the power of your thoughts can detonate the entire development department and get you out of work a couple of hours early.

Trade Roundup

Trade Round-Up: Brad Grey's Pals Rise Up Against Vanity Fair

· Various people whom former mananger and current Paramount chief Brad Grey has helped make incredibly rich (Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, HBO), claim that Vanity Fair's big story on the Anthony Pellicano investigation is full of inaccuracies and fabrications. And Grey's Paramount flack isn't happy (shocker!) either: "Specific allegations and statements made by unnamed sources about Brad Grey in Vanity Fair's piece on Anthony Pellicano are total fabrications." [Variety]
· THR finds the most unflattering picture possible to illustrate their story on Jon Favreau's hiring by Marvel Studio to develop and direct an adaptation of Iron Man. Seriously, that pic is just plain mean. [THR]
· Lindsay Lohan signs up for her next opportunity to be accused of sleeping with a smarmy older guy, joining Adrien Brody in the cast of the romantic comedy Speechless. Go ahead and try and say "Brohan" to yourself without inducing a seizure, we dare you. [Variety]
· Fox makes pre-upfronts pick-ups of comedy 'Til Death and drama Vanished, while NBC renews its committment to being Dick Wolf's bitch by bringing back all three Law & Order series. [THR]
· The buzz-killing plagiarism scandal over the novel How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life has DreamWorks slowly backing away from the suddenly radioactive material it had planned to adapt. [Variety]

Marlee Matlin: Gay For Pay


No, not even a show about the escapades of a group of oversexed LA lesbians and starring Jennifer Beals could convince us to pay the Showtime subscription fee, though we must admit they have just sweetened the deal with the addition of Marlee Matlin to the cast. According to the AP, Matlin's character is "a fiery artist who catches the attention of Jennifer Beals' character." We're pretty sure "fiery" in this instance is family-friendly newspaper code for "insatiable woman-on-woman-loving slutbag," though the coyly reported story makes no guarantees Matlin will submit to the onetime Flashdancing welder's allure. USA Today's caption on the accompanying photo further confuses things, claiming Matlin is "Jessica Biel's new love interest,"* which we'll dismiss as the unfortunate byproduct of a horny photo editor allowing his deskbound fantasies to bleed into his professional life.

Snoop Dogg And Crew's Heathrow Brawl

Just when you thought he had been all but effectively neutered by the showbiz establishment, Hollywood's Cuddliest Gangster, Snoop Dogg, has reverted back to his thug-life roots. In about as unfair a battle royale pairing as we can imagine, the hip-hop star and his entourage of over 30 hulking Snoopettes pummeled a small army of British Airways staff and London's nightstick-twirling finest after being refused entry to the VIP lounge at Heathrow: More »

Short Ends: Paula Abdul And Michael Jackson May Have Had Some Work Done

· TVGasm has some good, clean, profoundly disturbing fun mixing and matching various facial features from Paula Abdul and Michael Jackson. Happy nightmares!
· Hey, killer chimps!
· Tom Hanks writes a love note to his retiring longtime make-up artist in the NY Times so genuinely moving and sincere that we hardly understand why we're linking to it. We're getting soft.
· Get ready for the rimshot: Hmm, that's funny, we'd always pegged Ryan Seacrest as a meat-eater. But not a bad trade-up in hetero photo-op partners from Teri Hatcher to two skinny vegetarians.
· George Clooney exercises great care in selecting the companies to whom he's willing to whore himself out.

Agents

Possibly Hormonal Angelina Jolie Dumps CAA

The LA Weekly's Nikki Finke reports that CAA has confirmed that Angelina Jolie is no longer their client, an abrupt shitcanning that ends the actress's yearlong fling with the agency. We'd ascribe the move to late-pregnancy hormonal mood-swings, but we suspect that with the birth of her first biological child imminent, the agency's trademark baby-devouring displays of loyalty suddenly became distasteful to the expectant mom. But don't think that CAA is going to give up without a fight; a loss-prevention team has already been dispatched to Jolie's bungalow in Namibia, where they will seek to win back their A-list client by feeding the paparazzi photographer of her choice to a lion.
