Peaches - Relax |
] |
Peaches' new video for Relax features Pea as a mad scientist that clones a bunch of blond, blue-eyed women. I think we all know what this is about and it's the best video/single to come off of the I Feel Cream album yet. The last 20 seconds bring the cheesy lulz.
Directed by Fubbi Karlsson.

‘Top Chef’ Kevin Dishes on Reunion Show
by Tracy Phillips
Dec 16th, 2009 | 6:45 AM |
Kevin Gillespie may not have taken the title of ‘Top Chef‘ on last week’s season finale, but he may just walk away with the honor of being the ‘Fan Favorite,’ to be announced during Wednesday’s ‘Reunion’ episode of Bravo’s culinary hit.
“I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch,” the Atlanta-based chef says of the ‘Favorite’ possibility, “but we’ll see…I sure hope so.”
Gillespie was one of the top three finalists from the most talented pool of chefs the show has ever had, but he’s not disappointed that he didn’t win–especially after seeing his name top the viewer-poll results during the finale episode.
“If anything, I got to see that 60% of America thinks I should win, so that makes me feel good,” Kevin tells me. “And you know what, to me, that’s worth more than the $125,000 check.”
I spoke with the popular cheftestant after the sizzling season ended, and Kevin served up some dish on being dissed, the brothers’ Voltaggio–and almost getting himself eliminated from the show.

Tune-in tonight as the cast dishes on the season on ‘Top Chef: The Reunion’ at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

Wicked Tony Award winner Idina Menzel will fly into the Golden Globe-nominated series "Glee," the Associated Press reports.
Menzel will appear in the new episodes of "Glee," which are set to begin airing in April 2010. "OK, listen. We had Kristin [Chenoweth] now Idina's coming," cast member Chris Colfer told the AP. "I can't even fathom that. I can't even talk about it. I am so, so excited."
As previously reported, Menzel has been in talks to portray the coach of McKinley High's rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline. The Wicked and Rent star will likely appear in all nine of the upcoming episodes. Tony Award nominee Jonathan Groff (Spring Awakening) has also been confirmed to portray the lead member of Vocal Adrenaline in the 2010 episodes of "Glee."
"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy is also working on an all-Madonna episode of the series for 2010.
Menzel earned a Tony Award for her performance as Elphaba in the Stephen Schwartz musical Wicked. She was Tony nominated for her Broadway debut in Rent and has also appeared in Aida, The Wild Party, Summer of '42 and See What I Wanna See. Her film credits include "Summer of Sam," "Still a Kiss," "Kissing Jessica Stein," "Tollbooth" and "Water."

| R.I.P. Roy E. Disney |
[16 Dec 2009|01:32pm] |
This was just announced on MSNBC, the cable channel, but it's also being posted now on various online news sites.
Roy E. Disney, nephew of the famous animator Walt Disney, has died at the age of 79.
Roy Disney at a screening of Salvador Dali's "Destino."
Roy Edward Disney, whose commitment to his uncle's creative spirit prompted him to mount revolts that led to the unseating of two of the company's chief executives and a revival of the studio's legendary animation unit, has died. He was 79. Disney, who had been battling cancer, died this morning, according to Clifford A. Miller, a spokesman for Disney's company Shamrock Holdings.
Disney toiled for years in the shadow of his famous uncle and his father, Roy O. Disney, who behind the scenes ran the business side of the Walt Disney Co. for his brother. But the quiet man in the cardigan sweater would emerge as a forceful protector of family traditions.
"People always underestimated Roy," said Peter Schneider, the former president of Walt Disney Feature Animation. "You underestimate Roy at your peril, as many people have learned."
( Read more about Roy's awesomeness after the cut. )
Just wanted to say "thanks" to Roy for trying to keep the banner of hand-drawn 2D animation flying at Disney Co. and for leading the charge to get Michael Eisner booted out. Thanks also for getting Dali's short film Destino produced (and without Eisner knowing).

| Peter Gallagher joins cast of "Burlesque" |
[16 Dec 2009|12:14pm] |
This is a dedicated performer worthy of a career standing ovation and someone who appreciates both his past and the potential for the future. Speaking of which, all during his five-week stint here in the Windy City, he's been commuting back to Los Angeles each week while filming an episode of the cable FX network's series "Rescue Me" co-starring his pal Denis Leary. And on Friday, he begins filming in the new movie "Burlesque" by Screen Gems Studio and co-starring Cher, Christina Aguilera, Eric Dane, Alan Cumming and Kristen Bell.

| Want to be in a movie with Simon Pegg and David Tennant? |

Thugs and Dignitaries Sought For Burke and Hare Feature Film
Thugs, footmen, dignitaries, doctors, and ladies of the night are being sought for a new comedy feature film about Edinburgh's famous grave-robbers-turned-murderers Burke and Hare. Universal Extras are holding auditions for the parts at the Tolbooth in Stirling on Thursday 17th December from 9am to 5pm (people can turn up any time on the day according to the announcement).
It is an exciting project considering that the film is being made by John Landis, the director behind comedy classics such as the Blues Brothers, Trading Places, An American Werewolf in London, and Animal House.
Among the stars lined up are Simon Pegg as William Burke, Bill Nighy, Dan Aykroyd, Minnie Driver and John Cleese.
Set in 19th Century Edinburgh, the black comedy follows the two miscreants as they get into the grave-robbery business after discovering a body in their house and realizing that fresh corpses can yield a pretty penny when delivered promptly to Edinburgh's pioneering medical school.
When the two start cutting corners, killing to order instead of digging up stiffs from the graveyard like other "resurrectionists", they soon attract the attentions of the authorities.
With the law closing in, Hare persuades Burke that they should raise a last bit of cash to go straight and open a funeral parlour.
The open call for extras on the Universal Extras bulletin board states:
"Parts available in this truly full of laughter feature film will include you playing role(s) such as; Thugs, Students, Pub goers, Footmen, Dignitaries, Doctors, Market sellers, Ladies of the Night and many more! Payment per filming day will be around £80. The role you are selected for will determine what you will be paid and the amount of days you will be required for over February and March 2010."

If I lived in Stirling, I would be at the front of the line to be a Lady of the Night.

| Toronto critics really like those Basterds. |
[16 Dec 2009|01:47pm] |
|
The Toronto Film Critics Association has named two movies as the best of 2009. The association was split between Hunger, about IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, and Quentin Tarantino's Second World War movie Inglourious Basterds. The lone runner-up was Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker; Bigelow was named best director.
The two first-place films picked up three more awards from the critics' group. Christoph Waltz was named best supporting actor for his role as a Nazi colonel in Basterds; Hunger, directed by Steve Mc-Queen, was named best first feature; and Basterds shared best screenplay with Up in the Air in a second tie. ( The rest of the picks... )
