TV FUN HOUSE CREATOR DIES BECAUSE OF HIS DAUGHTER

THE PEOPLE'S REVIEW OF MACHETE.

JUST WHEN PARIS LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ALMOST CLEANED UP...

COULD THE BOONDOCKS BE HEADING TO THE BIG SCREEN?

Independent sources at Sony are saying the Adult Show hit, could go through another two year hiatus, because creator Arron McGruder is penning the script.

The film could star Jaden Smith as both Huey and Riley Freeman. Smith had been doing interview with Huey haircut and his Karate Kid persona uses the Riley Look.John Whither would be Grand Pa (as he does on the show) and Will Smith (Jaden's Dad) would be Obama-like dad Tom. Smith would also sever as the one of the producers. Cedric the Entertainer is an apparent shoo-in for Uncle Ruckus, the Republican reverse racist on the show.

Emily Deschanel or Renee O' Zellweger are being considered for Tom's wife Sara. Mcgrudder is hoping one of the Hughes or Hudlin brothers, direct his opus.

DANCING WITH THE STAR CHAMPION COULD EARN $345,000 "AND THAT TACKY TROPHY!"
From Gawker:

It's all based on a sliding scale depending on how well the contestants do.
Everyone gets $125,000 for signing up and being on the first two episodes (even
the person who gets eliminated first gets that amount as a bit of a consolation
prize). Then it's $10,000 each for the next two episodes, $20,000 for each of
the two episodes after that, $30,000 each for the two subsequent episodes, and
$50,000 for appearing in the final two episodes of the season. That totals
$345,000 for those who make it to the very end. Based on this reality TV pyramid
scheme, the winner gets nothing more than the other finalists—besides that tacky
trophy, of course.


Sure most people at home would gladly take even the $125,000 signing bonus (and
it's probably the biggest windfall Jennifer Grey has seen in her adult life) but
in reality TV terms it's not that much. The Situation makes $60,000 an episode
for Jersey Shore. The $345,000 to get to the end (which is 20 episodes over 10
weeks) wouldn't even cover his salary for six episodes of Jersey Shore. TV's
Hills alum Audrina Patridge ( a complete no talent Megan Fox [excuse the redundacny] knock-off) was making $100,000 an episode for her work on the
canceled MTV gem, so this is a big step down for her.


And it doesn't sound like there are many other perks either—other than getting
in better shape thanks to the show's eight-hours-a-day rehearsal requirement.
The production staff is helpful with transportation and posh accommodations, but
no one gets their own hair and makeup team or gets to select their dancing
partner. It really is a rough life for these guys, isn't it?

Still, The show could up the ante by providing a $250,000 grand prize for the winner's charity. Plus, a flat $10,000 a succeeding week fee for the all the other celeb dancer's favorite charities.

INDY WANTS TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE CRYSTAL SKULL WITH ONE LAST FILM

Extreme senior actor Harrison Ford- is planning to play Indiana Jones in films "one last time – at the age of 70."


Producers are planning for Ford's ("who recently married long-term girlfriend Calista Flockhart") supposedly "final outing" as Jones. This fifth chapter of the story will hit theatres in 2012 – on Ford's 70th year of life.


Shia LaBeouf, who co-stared with him, will return as Indy's son Mutt (who was knocked out twice by women) for 2008's Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull . He said he's being prepped for this flick and maybe to take over the franchise, after this one.“They’re scriptwriting now!,” exclaimed LaBeouf. “It sounds crazy."

Despite his age, "a still trim Ford" did most "of the hazardous
stunts on the last film."Ford declared himself as “fit or possibly fitter than I was...20 years ago.”

Still, the film's series iconic producers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are still pissed- Sir Sean Connery didn't make a cameo in the Skull. They made clear Connery's Jones Sr. was dead to them, by hearing Sir Sean's statement, he "was enjoying retirement too much to return."

The landmark's film series "much-anticipated comeback" went on to earn very "mixed reviews," that have been hilariously satirized on recent South Park episodes. LaBeouf intends to get Indy right this time, because “I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished.”

JENNIFER ANISTON SWITCHS BACK TO TV FOR COUGAR TOWN-
-From EW
Former Scrubs leader and Cougar Town Exec. producer Bill Lawrence spills his guts:


“She’s going to play Courteney’s shrink named Bonnie. Kind of a get-
too-involved-in-her-life-type of therapist. Those guys are so close in
real-life they kind of do that for each other anyway. Bonnie has the
life Jules’ wishes she has.


It took us a while to find the show. And once we did and once it was
clicking, I think that not only did Courteney feel comfortable talking
to Jen about doing it, but comfortable in how funny she thinks the
show is and that Jen would like it and fit into this world really
well.


It starts and ends with Courteney and Jennifer being really great
friends and excited to work together again —especially doing comedy
together. Every day that those two talk they have more ideas about
[the role]. It’s definitely something they’re both involved in
creatively.


We’re very intentionally implying that it’s a therapist Courteney has
been using for a while, and we’re certainly not going to make it like
they’ll never see each other again. So I’m crossing my fingers that if
she has a good time it’ll happen again.”

Universal Music Group (UMG) Enters into Long-Term Agreement with 19 Entertainment For 'American Idol'

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 19 Entertainment and Simon Fuller, creator of 'American Idol,' television's biggest entertainment program for the last nine seasons and one of the most globally recognized entertainment brands, and Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, today announced a long-term strategic alliance to increase the development, distribution and marketing of 'American Idol's' musical artists. The announcement was made today by Doug Morris, Chairman & Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, Lucian Grainge, Co-Chief Executive Officer of UMG, and by Simon Fuller on behalf of 19 Entertainment.


As part of this multi-year agreement, UMG's Interscope Geffen A&M will market, promote and distribute albums globally from 'American Idol's' finalists and winning contestants across a broad array of retail and new media platforms. Recently, 'American Idol' kicked-off auditions for its milestone 10th season as the excitement and renewed interest in the show resulted in over 26,000 hopefuls coming out for their shot at the coveted Idol crown in Nashville and Milwaukee. Upcoming auditions will be held in Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey and California.


Mr. Fuller comments: "With Idol celebrating our 10th season I wanted to inject some new power and weight behind our brand. We have been quietly delivering hits relentlessly for 9 seasons and Lucian Grainge and Jimmy Iovine's (Chairman, Interscope Geffen A&M) ambition, commitment, and determination to push the boundaries and go even further with Idol was very compelling. It is exciting to have the world's biggest show partnered with the world's biggest music company."


"We like delivering hits and new artists," stated Mr. Grainge. "UMG and 'American Idol' is the right combination at the right time. Pairing the renowned expertise of Simon and Jimmy in developing and marketing musical talent creates a truly winning combination that will allow 'Idol's' artists to realize their fullest potential."


Since its debut in 2001, 'America Idol' has been responsible for selling more music than any other TV show in history, with over 100 million units in North America alone and over 120 million songs on iTunes.

A GIRL GONE WILD LOSES $5 MILLION VERDICT TO JOE FRANCIS.

ST. LOUIS, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A St. Louis jury found in favor of Girls Gone Wild this week in a $5 million dollar lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed that Girls Gone Wild had "damaged her reputation" by distributing a video of her dancing provocatively in a St. Louis bar. Tamara Favazza claimed she had not given her consent to appear on camera, but the St. Louis Circuit Court jury of 12 people found in favor of Girls Gone Wild.


The woman's lawyers had demanded at least $5 million in damages, even asking for the $1.5 million they estimated the company has made on the video in which Tamara Favazza appeared.


David A. Dalton II, lawyer for Girls Gone Wild, said, "The jury listened to the evidence and made the right decision. They found that Tamara Favazza had given her consent by entering a bar she knew was hosting a Girls Gone Wild event, and then dancing provocatively for the Girls Gone Wild cameras."


Girls Gone Wild CEO, Joe Francis, said, "This is just one more example of someone trying to make a quick buck off Girls Gone Wild by making false accusations against our company. At the same time, this is also another great example of someone who got their ass kicked in a court room by a smart judge and a smart jury who saw the truth. Girls Gone Wild will always vigorously defend ourselves against anyone who makes such outrageous and defamatory allegations. Girls Gone Wild has NEVER lost a jury trial."


Francis also says, "Girls Gone Wild is a fun lifestyle brand. Each year tens of thousands of girls contact our website, our monthly magazine and our live event camera crews for the chance to be part of Girls Gone Wild, as viewers witness each week on our HDNet reality series, "Girls Gone Wild Presents: Search for the Hottest Girl in America." The series' grand finale, featuring the crowning of Girls Gone Wild's 2010 Hottest Girl in America, airs this Thursday, July 29 at 10:00 p.m. PT/1:00 a.m. ET (Friday, July 30).

A former, yet courageous ex-House employee "has filed a lawsuit against
the show." He claims that because "he didn’t go along with what he
calls the 'degenerate conduct' of his bosses." Carl
Jones, an assistant prop master, was fired because of alleged "drugs, sex and homophobia were rampant on-set."


The million dollar lawsuit charges, Jones "was harassed by two of his employers for
refusing 'visits to strip bars, participation in getting drunk, stoned
or intoxicated on cocaine, to participate in sexual conduct at the
trailer, and other dangerous conduct.'”
Disgustingly, Jones states that "he and
other co-workers" were often called “fags, pussies, bitches,

Next, He recalled "one of his superiors brought a gun to the set
on multiple occasions." He also saw one of "his bosses get drunk on
