HAPPY DAYS SUES PARAMOUNT OVER $10 MILLION LOST WAGES

Alex Ben Block said the cast of the classic sitcom Happy Days isn t too happy with CBS
Studios and Paramount Pictures, charging in a lawsuit that they have
not been paid for their share of years of home video releases and
licensed merchandise that used their images and voices. The plaintiffs
say they are owed at least $10 million plus interest and possibly
damages.


The suit was brought Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court by Anson
Williams, Marion Ross, Don Most, Erin Moran and Patricia Bosley, who
is executor of the will of her husband the late Tom Bosley.
Ron Howard and Henry Winkler, also stars of the iconic show, are not
part of the suit.


Happy Days epitomizes what is best in America, says the opening
salvo of the lawsuit, adding that the actions by CBS and Paramount
epitomize what is worst in corporate America, exemplifying the worst
business practices.


The show originally ran on ABC from 1974 until 1984 and has been a
staple in TV syndication and on various cable outlets since. It was
originally produced by Paramount, but after a corporate split in 2005
became part of CBS Studios.


The suit apparently was triggered after a former cast member saw their
images on slot machines at a casino. They had also watched as the show
was repackaged for at least four DVD release in box sets beginning in
2004, again with their pictures on the boxes and in show photographs
used inside, according to the complaint.


The suit says CBS continues to market the brand to merchandisers,
quoting the CBS Consumer Products website as saying that Happy Days
has strong purchase-intent among women 18-54 and men 18-34. CBS also
sells related merchandise online with pictures of the cast on
everything from mugs to T-shirts.


All those included in the suit say they had different salaries but the
same contracts when it came to merchandising. Each was to receive a
portion of net proceeds after the studio took 50% off the top as its
handling fee, a practice the suit now questions.


This handling fee, charges the lawsuit, regardless of actual handling
costs violates defendants business conduct statement and constitutes a
material breach of the implied covenant of good fair and fair deal in
the agreement.


The suit says that beginning in 2002, Moran (who played Joani
Cunningham on the series) contacted the studio to see if she was owed
money for merchandising but was told none was owed. They say they had
no way to know the truth and only acted after seeing Happy Days slot
machines in casinos.


The suit says the failure to pay breached their contracts and that
CBS/Paramount is guilty of oppression, fraud and malice." The cast
believes it is entitled to punitive damages as well as at least $10
million in money they believe they are owed plus interest. They are
also seeking to be repaid for their legal costs in bringing the suit.


On the show Williams played Warren Potsie Weber, Ross was the mom
Marion Cunningham, Most was Ralph Malph, Moran was Joanie and Bosley
was the father, Howard Cunningham.


In a statement, a spokesperson for CBS Consumer Products responded:
We agree that funds are owed to the actors and have been working with
them for quite some time to resolve the issue."

NATALIE PORTMAN'S BODYGATE CONTINUES...

FROM MAIL ONLINE-

Her dance double for Black Swan has claimed that she did hardly any of
the full body shots seen in the film.


And now it is claimed that Natalie Portman used yet another body
double for her latest film Your Highness.


In fact, the actress is said to have avoided diving into an icy lake
in Belfast and a local Irish girl was paid just £250 to take the
plunge instead.


Caroline Davis from Ulster was paid the sum of money to jump into the
cold waters meaning that Portman avoided braving the freezing lake.


The Irish student told The Sun: ‘I’m a film studies student so I
jumped at the chance to be on set.’


Portman has been accused of performing very little of the body shots
seen in Black Swan, the film that earned her an Oscar gong.


Sarah Lane, a soloist with the American Ballet Theatre who worked as
Natalie's dance double on the Oscar-winning film, continues to claim
the 29-year-old actress did hardly any of the full body shots seen in
the movie.


Talking to ABC's Elizabeth Vargas, Lane says that the film's producers
are lying about the amount of dancing Portman did in her scenes and
need to come clean.

LIONSGATE WILL UNLEASH (NON-MICHEAL) BAY ON AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
From PR Newswire

LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, today announced that it has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Barry Levinson's found footage eco-horror film THE BAY from Alliance Films. The announcement was made jointly by Joe Drake, President of the Motion Picture Group, and Jason Constantine, President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions.

From the producers of the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY franchise, the film is the next installment in their series following INSIDIOUS, and chronicles an unprecedented biological disaster unleashed from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay- an isopod parasite, carrying a horrific untreatable disease, that jumps from fish to human hosts. The true horror and scope of the event unfolds on footage captured on home videos and the internet by the town's victims.

"Ingenious genre films are and always will be a specialty at Lionsgate," explained Drake of the choice to acquire the film. "THE BAY is a shining example of the kind of truly fresh horror film that audiences are always ready for, and that we excel at eventizing with them. Thanks to Barry, we'll all be afraid to go in the water for years to come."

Adds Constantine, "We have been big admirers of Jason Blum, Steven Schneider and Oren Peli since their breakout hit PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, and are thrilled to be in business with them. This film works so effectively because it establishes a very natural, everyday world, places the audience intimately within it, and then sits back as everything takes a horrific turn. Barry has incorporated found footage to the most satisfying possible effect, and it's all the scarier for not relying on anything supernatural."

"It's exciting to see a company like Lionsgate embrace THE BAY so enthusiastically. The found footage / multiplatform approach opened up the film to creative possibilities I hadn't encountered in my previous films, and I think these sorts of films will only continue to push boundaries as the technology changes," said director Barry Levinson.

The film was directed by Levinson, from a script he co-wrote with Michael Wallach. THE BAY was produced by Levinson, Jason Blum, Steven Schneider, and Oren Peli, and co-produced by Mythodic Films, with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Jason Sosnoff, Colin Strause, and Greg Strause executive producing.

THE BAY is an Alliance presentation in association with IM Global. IM Global handled foreign sales, and Alliance will distribute in Canada, the UK and Spain.

The deal was negotiated by Lionsgate's Constantine, with Eda Kowan, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions, and Wendy Jaffe, Executive Vice President Business & Legal Affairs for Acquisitions. The sale was brokered on behalf of Alliance by ICM and CAA. ICM packaged the film and represents Levinson and Wallach.

CZ JONES TO VISIT TO SHADDY PINES

Sarah Crow reported that after Michael Douglas "is on the mend after completing
treatment for throat cancer," his wife actress Catherine Zeta-Jones "is finding herself
in need of some expert care."


Gossip Cop reports that the actress has checked herself into a mental
health facility.


"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the
decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to
treat her Bipolar II Disorder," her rep confirms, adding, "She's
feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her
two upcoming films."


In addition to her duties as a working actress and mother, Zeta-Jones
has dealt with more than enough stress in the past few years to merit
some much-needed time off and TLC.


In 2010, Zeta-Jones' stepson, Cameron Douglas, was sentenced to five
years in prison for drug-related charges, and only four months later,
her actor husband was diagnosed with cancer. In between the
devastating events, Michael Douglas was also sued by his ex-wife,
Diandra, who claimed she was entitled 50 percent of the profits from
his film 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.'


Sources report, "Catherine had a lot of trouble coping [with Douglas'
cancer]. She was chain smoking and drinking," although her rep has not
confirmed that her stay was related to substance abuse.


It does seem the actress is on the mend, however. Her rep says, "She's
feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her
two upcoming films."

The food was tasty and artistically well designed. It was also quite filling,considering the tiny portions. The truck did allow multiple runs of the meals,in order to sample each of the dishes. Still, some Caucasian males made pigs of themselves going through the line at least four times.

The show will be doing this for the rest of the week, in order to promote the show in the Hollywood area.

F$#@ Them at that three-lettered company!!

The white guy with a brownish, chicken head Mohawk seemed nice enough. Then, he begin the usually LYING,biogotd tirades I write here TOO often,not just by him. A pimp dressed black man and usually fat arsed and ignorantly cute, Latina friend joined him by the dirty pimp saying " I always thought you were one," and the dumpy Latina trying make a Loser Sign, forgetting that now means you a fan of Glee specifically. I've NEVER BEEN rude or unprofessional to anyone there, unlike them. Still, I must commend the work of a decent British Fellow, who appears to try to do right by every one there (at other shows, he wasn't there today.)

Getting back to the alleged, white bigot who signed on Two WHITE girls, because they white, right in front in front of us. They had just arrived and got in, while the rest of us had been there an hour at the point. He declared he didn't care because
"I already HAVE a job," as he smirked with one of the confirmed audience members, who too was real late.

Personally, I think I'VE been barred- since I wrote about similar hate mongering and bullying about going back to 2008's American Gladiators.

Lastly, one of the men-a Lingo staffer- said there was one chair left and picked the one WHITE guy ,who wasn't business casually dressed and gave the last seat. Everyone else left,were black folk- properly attired, as per their dress code request.

I don't care about being liked by stupid idiots, but I don't deserve this level of constant disrespect or bullying anymore, not being apart of their clique, none of us do.

In a world, where there are too many TV networks devoted to women (Oxygen, OWN, WE,Numerous Lifetime channels,ABC, ABC Family which the new WB in Most ladies opinions;etc.) Why doesn't the CW just give-up on chasing this already served audience and try men in the 18-49 demo?

There is Proof that they can service this new audience well, is new hit Nikita, starring Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca. The white knuckle,don't stop to breath for a second action drama, is much more geared to men watching (which is why it crossed over to them.)

Also, long time hit Smallville (which is finishing its run this year and without a suitable spin-off) and Supernatural- are the only other shows on the network- the have a Cross over appeal to both sexes.For the last two years, the Friday night shows have lifted, the CW as high as- thrid place in the ratings.

There is also newcomer Hellcats (exec. produced by Smallville's own Tom Welling) that so much scattered T&A going with its Cheerleaders ,that most guys will forgive the overly dramatic chats of feminist over-communication with nothing or Little resolved.

Next, aging chick-hits Top Model,90210 and Gossip Girl have long since lost their water-cooler cache and appear to soon by on there way off air.Not to mention, the network fear to try weekend programming, like a real TV network.

Finally, long time lady president Lucy Sahany is leaving without a lot to show for this station and other women execs are being considered ,which more of the same from the channel that barely tries to have any impact on its viewers, any of them.

INSIDE CBS SOURCE STATES- THE NETWORK WILL HIRE SHEEN BACK, AT ALL COSTS

RadarOnline.com reported exclusively, that a "top exec at the Eye network is ready, willing, and able to forgive and forget all of Sheen's recent antics and continue broadcasting the series, with Sheen back in the starring role."

CBS President and CEO Les Moonves is acting as a agent between Sheen's reps, Abused producer Chuck Lorre and WB TV-Network Division, about the Sheen firing.

"Moonves wants a solution that brings Sheen back to the show" in a such a way that everyone can co-exist about. The CBS CEO told Lorre to "let us handle Charlie!"

The source continued:"Moonves wants to get the show back on the air. He's
all for it. He says certain people need to forget anything and
everything Charlie's done recently and just move on with the business
at hand."

Moonves believe once you get the soft-spoken producer and the hot-head prick actor together, "that cooler heads will prevail" and everyone can get back to work,while Sheen potentially dies, because of his drug addiction.

CBS is trying to head off the $100 million lawsuit,against themselves, Lorre and Warner Bros.TV, when Sheen may have corrected deduced- breach of contract status, for them cancelling the season early for Charlie.

Macy ( Fargo, Door to Door) and Golden Globe® nominee Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera, Mystic River). Macy plays a working class patriarch of an unconventional Chicago brood of six kids headed by the eldest sibling (Rossum) who keep the home afloat while their dad is out drinking and carousing. The series averages nearly four million weekly viewers across multiple platforms and is on pace to be the network's second-highest rated drama series behind DEXTER (5.2 million). SHAMELESS is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Wells and Abbott are executive producers; Andrew Stearn (The West Wing, Southland) also serves as executive producer.

"We're delighted that our wonderful partners at SHOWTIME are giving us the opportunity to make additional episodes of SHAMELESS," said executive producer John Wells. "We're having an unbelievably good time making the show and look forward to bringing more of the humor, pathos, and wild sexuality of the dysfunctional Gallagher family to a shocked American audience."

EPISODES is a co-production between Showtime Networks in the U.S. and the BBC in the UK, written and executive produced by two of America's most successful comedy writers David Crane (Friends, The Class) and Jeffrey Klarik (Mad About You, The Class). Jimmy Mulville executive produces through his successful Hat Trick production company (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Worst Week). This comedy series centers around a husband and wife producing team who are forced to navigate the many pitfalls of the Hollywood television business when their successful British show is brought to America, and the U.S. network insists on making the show more audience friendly by replacing their venerable thespian lead with...Matt LeBlanc. Season one of EPISODES averaged nearly two million weekly viewers across multiple platforms (including On Demand and replays).

"To have the opportunity to make another series of this show with David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik and then to make that show for both Showtime and the BBC, whose combined portfolios of comedy are second to none, is both a thrill and a great privilege," said executive producer Jimmy Mulville. "At the end of the first series the writers have placed our three protagonists in the middle of comedy hell. Like the rest of the audience I can't wait to see
