The latest episode of Survivor: Heroes vs Villains featured some good ol’ fashioned girl-on-girl wrestling. But in the end (no thanks to Colby) Danielle ended up with the hidden immunity idol clue and Amanda Kimmel ended up getting her torch snuffed. Now the Survivor threepeat offender talks about what it was like to finally get voted out of the game, what she would have done had Colby offered her even an ounce of assistance, and an aborted ruse that may have sent Candice over to the dark side.

Someone paid $42,500 to intern for Anna Wintour. Who would you pay to slave for?
Image Credit: Sylvain Gaboury/PR PhotosFor about the price of 71 pairs of Christian Louboutins, one fashion devotee with very deep pockets will get a chance to intern for Anna Wintour for one week (in hell) after making the highest bid in a CharityBuzz auction.
As much as I love fashion (and loved The September Issue!), I don’t think I love it more than eating or having a home. Sure, this would be one hell of a resume plumper, but something tells me does someone with $42,500 to spare isn’t worried about scoring that high-paying dream career. Just a theory. Whatever, it’s for charity, right? But on that note, there are a few seemingly menial jobs I’d pay that kind of money for, including:
+ Jensen Ackles’ wardrobe lackey on Supernatural (only if it means I get to dress him…literally)
+ Rain coordinator on Smallville (spoilers).
+ David Boreanaz’s “Cocky” belt buckle shiner on Bones.
+ Nick Offerman’s mustache comber on Parks and Recreation
+ Jane Lynch’s tracksuit presser on Glee
Your turn, PopWatchers. It’s Friday. Let’s kill some time.

Johnny Weir and Evan Lysacek are 'at war'
An abridged version of The Slore War, currently staged between two American ice lords with a fondness for things that are Russian:
1. Stars on Ice didn’t pick Johnny Weir for the post-Olympics U.S.-based tour.
2. Evan Lysacek, the Vancouver gold medalist who is touring with Stars on Ice in between spray-tan sessions at Dancing With the Stars, told the Indianapolis Star, “They only hire the best to skate.”
3. On Wednesday’s Wendy Williams Show, Weir called Lysacek a “slore” (combo platter of slut + whore).
4. Weir told People Thursday, “We are at war. My claws are out,” adding, “I have no respect for Evan Lysacek.”
5. Lysacek releases a statement calling Weir “an accomplished and talented skater” and wishing him well at his New York show. “I let my personal feelings cloud my judgment in how I answered a journalist’s question about Stars on Ice and Johnny that I should never have answered,” says Lysacek. “I should have known better.”
Like the Boer War of 1899, the Slore War could last three years and be very bloody until both parties finally sign the Treaty of Tassels in 2013. As a spectator, I hope the Slore War’s soldiers experiment with weaponry — why limit yourself to mere claws when a Lycra spandex bodysuit could make such a great whip, a particularly sturdy giant sequin could potentially function as a meat slicer, and toepicks are deadly already?
Team Evan or Team Johnny, PopWatchers on Ice? Watch Weir say “slore” after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

'American Idol': What should the Top 5 sing for Frank Sinatra night?
Image Credit: Michael Becker/Fox; Francis Specker/LandovWith only four weeks and eight episodes remaining in its not-so-fresh ninth season, American Idol is going to try something a little different next Tuesday: Harry Connick Jr. will be the first guest mentor in the show’s history to arrange the songs and write the orchestrations for the remaining contestants as they tackle the Frank Sinatra songbook. And since the top 5 hopefuls are having control wrested from their hands anyway, I say let’s do the honor of choosing their songs as well. The full list of 50 pre-approved Sinatra tracks is listed after the jump, and below is my dream set-list. (Related: ‘American Idol’ recap: A note to remember!; follow me on Twitter @EWMichaelSlezak.)
My Dream Set List for Sinatra Night on Idol
Crystal Bowersox: “You Do Something To Me” (she can go all Sinead/Cueball on it!)
Lee DeWyze: “One For My Baby” (do not do “My Kind of Town,” sir!)
Casey James: “Somethin’ Stupid” (could be Kris Allen/”Falling Slowly”-ish, no?)
Michael Lynche: “That’s Life” (somebody’s gotta go uptempo!)
High School Student Aaron Kelly: “In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning” (no I did not pick this because it contains the words “wee small”…I’m not that beastly!) READ FULL STORY »

'The Dark Tower' adaptation: Ron Howard is the new J.J. Abrams
Quick, what’s the greatest horror-fantasy spaghetti-western meta-memoir epic ever written? No, not Don Quixote. I’m talking about The Dark Tower, the seven-book saga written over several decades by novelist (and EW contributor) Stephen King. The series throws all the author’s themes and fascinations into a massive tale and forms the connective material between pretty much everything King’s ever written. It’s difficult to imagine adapting it, but for the last few years, us Tower fans could imagine quite a lot: J.J. Abrams held the rights to the series, with the intention of turning Tower into a TV series produced by Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. (The three producers actually hung out with King for an EW-mediated geek date back in 2006.)
Alas, the world has moved on. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Team Lost understandably couldn’t figure out how to crack Tower as a TV series. In a bizarre twist, however, another pop culture trio has stepped in to carry the fire: Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Akiva Goldsman. And they’ve got big ideas. READ FULL STORY »

'Human Centipede': Director and star of the year's most disgusting horror film spill their guts
“When we were editing The Human Centipede we showed it in Holland,” says director Tom Six. “There were women that left the theater who were afraid to talk to me. Or look at me.”
The Dutch auteur cannot have been surprised by such a reaction to what is undoubtedly one of the most disgusting, and disturbing, horror films ever made. The German-set Human Centipede (First Sequence) stars Dieter Laser as a Dr. Mengele-ish surgeon called Heiter who transforms two American tourists (Ashley C. Williams and Ashlynn Yennie) and a Japanese man (Akihiro Kitamura from Heroes) into the titular creature by stitching them together (yes, you read that right). In his mostly enthusiastic review, EW’s critic Owen Gleiberman describes the movie, as “a surgical-nightmare exploitation film that has no pretense to anything beyond making you go, ‘My God, now that is gross.’”
My colleague sums matters up nicely, though there is, in truth, nothing even remotely nice about this particular slice of Cronenbergian craziness, which is getting a limited release and is available on demand starting today.
WARNING: After the jump, Six and Laser discuss their film in a manner that, like the movie itself, is recommended only for mature, and strong-stomached, audiences. We really can’t stress that enough.

Spencer Pratt and Snooki's ex-boyfriend to launch 'Fist Pumping for Love'
Image Credit: PRN/PR Photos; Jerritt Clark/WireImage.comSpencer Pratt, of the poorly grown facial hair and sometimes cowboy hat style, and Emilio Masella (who?), of Snooki ex-boyfriend fame, are reportedly teaming up for a dating show, Fist Pumping For Love, People reports. I wish I were joking.
The premise is a single guy looking for love (how original!), and the Gold’s Gym trainer plans to take his search for the guidette of his dreams from Hollywood to Howard Beach in Queens, N.Y. (where he just might get lucky). Masella says he’s “tired of these fake Italian girls,” taking an obvious shot at poor Snooks, who is actually Chilean. Sure, he wants a woman who can parla Italiano with him, but haven’t we seen this before? (The Bachelor, Rock of Love, almost everything on VH1). Even with the guido factor, it’s safe to say that most of America doesn’t know who he is, nor thinks of him in the same way as they do the lovable Seaside Heights crew. And while I am not afraid to admit I enjoyed Jersey Shore (you heard me) the whole guidos-having-a-moment thing just may be overdone. Plus, I don’t think anyone would recommend teaming up with Spencer Pratt (or Heidi, who is listed as “Executive Producer”).
Any chance you’ll watch this? Or has reality TV officially died, PopWatchers?

John Krasinski-Drew Barrymore starring in 'Whales,' The Rock snags 'Protection' (Excess Hollywood)
- Universal Pictures has greenlit Whales, a film about the 1988 rescue of three whales in California starring John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore. Drew Barrymore? John Krasinski? Whales?! They are about one surprised kitty away from turning this into the most precious movie ever. [Deadline]
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been tapped to star in action thriller Protection, about a security operative who must smuggle a judge’s daughter to the border. That’s Mexico, not Taco Bell. [THR]
- Summit Entertainment has nabbed distribution rights to Fair Game, which is based on outed CIA agent Valerie Plame’s memoir of the same name. Naomi Watts stars as Plame, which means she’ll be able to shed light on who’s tougher to deal with: Scooter Libby or Samara. [Variety]
- According to a press release from EPIX, Oliver Stone and Bruce Wagner will develop a one-hour series, Still Holding, which will follow three characters’ lives in L.A., and explore love and the consequences “of holding on and letting go.” That’s what she said?
