Alan Ball's new HBO pilot casts first import, Ben Whishaw
Image Credit: Tony Lowe/PR PhotosBen Whishaw has been cast as the lead in True Blood creator Alan Ball’s new HBO pilot, All Signs of Death, EW has confirmed. Whishaw — who you might remember as what we described as “a vision of 19th-century emo tubercular hotness as the great Romantic poet John Keats” in 2009′s Bright Star — will play crime scene cleaner Webster Fillmore Goodhue.
Reviewing the book the story is based on, Charlie Huston’s 2009 crime noir novel The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death, Stephen King spoke of Huston’s “morbid sense of humor and seemingly effortless ability to create scary/funny bad guys who make Beavis and Butthead look like Rhodes Scholars.” Sounds perfect for Ball. Of Web (ooh, we get to call him Web!), King said, “He pees his pants while trying to shield his girlfriend from a bullet. He’s scared but never cowardly, down but never completely out. He is, in short, a guy worth watching.”
Do you think Whishaw is the right man for the job? READ FULL STORY »

'Life In a Day': Be a part of cinematic history (or at least a really cool project)
For most of us, starring in a feature film is merely a pipe dream. I’ve been on TV before, but headlining a major motion picture is not in my future any time soon. (And, sadly, I’m guessing it’s not in most of yours’ either.) But all that could change with an experimental YouTube project taking place tomorrow. (Yeah, sorry for the late notice, PopWatchers!)
Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) and Kevin Macdonald (State of Play) have joined forces to create the film Life In a Day. Basically, they want you (yes you) to film part of your day tomorrow, July 24. After all the submissions are in, the guys will go through the videos and select the most compelling material. Those videos will then be combined to create the documentary film that will premiere at the January 2011 Sundance Film Festival. And that’s not even the coolest part. If any of your footage gets selected, you’ll be credited as a co-director, and might even have a chance to go to Sundance to celebrate. READ FULL STORY »

'Mad Men': What's the best way to celebrate the season premiere? Drinking, of course.
Image Credit: Craig Blankenhorn/AMCOnly two days until the Mad Men season 4 premiere, and what better way to celebrate the launch of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce than by pouring yourself a drink (or twelve)? If you like healthy competition, how about making a game out of it? You could drink every time Don has a meaningless fling, Roger Sterling is blatantly sexist, Betty ignores her needy children, or Joan is awesome. Or if you’re really looking to celebrate, why not just cut to the chase and drink when the characters of Mad Men do what they do best (and most frequently): drink. In case you’ve forgotten just how often that is, watch Vulture’s “Drunk Men” video, which highlights all the wonderfully boozy moments of the show (and the philosophy behind them: “We drink because it’s what men do.”)
Consider this your Friday (and Saturday, and Sunday) night plans, PopWatchers. And while it seems most appropriate to sip what Don Draper and Co. are partial to — that would be Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and Martinis — feel free to pick your own poison (just lay off the seafood!). Last (wo)man standing will be declared the winner…or an alcoholic.
What are you doing to celebrate the return of Mad Men?

Joey Fatone will not Dance his Ass Off. He'll just judge those who do!
Image Credit: Trae Patton/OxygenFormer ‘N Sync-er Joey Fatone is hitting the dance floor once again. The season 4 runner-up of Dancing With the Stars is taking his dance knowledge to Oxygen’s Dance Your Ass Off, where he’ll appear as a guest judge on Monday night’s episode. He took some time to talk about his guest appearance and what he’s got coming up in the future.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you want to be involved with Dance Your Ass Off?
JOEY FATONE: It’s an amazing show as far as getting a chance for people to lose weight and have fun with it. That’s the whole thing with it. It’s pretty cool where they do the whole Biggest Loser thing where you work, and you work, and you work. But in this show, you’re working out, but you’re also having fun. You’re learning a dance. You’re learning something that some of them have never done before. And to be able to feel free and to feel confident. It gives them great self-esteem to get out there and to go and dance.

'Machete': Danny Trejo finds a new use for intestines in NSFW red band trailer
Who officially declared this Crazy Things Happen With Rope-Like Things In Trailers Week? Me, that’s who!
First, a bungee jumper gets eaten by shark-octopus hybrid in the clip for — that’s right! — Sharktopus. And now comes along the new, extremely violent red band trailer for the movie Machete, in which Danny Trejo crashes out of one window and swings back through another with the assistance of someone’s upper duodenum. (Actually, it could be his lower duodenum. I’m not really a doctor, I just play one in the phantasmagoric dreamscape of my mind.)
Anyway, if you have a strong enough stomach to see someone’s stomach being torn to shreds, then check out the VERY NSFW trailer after the jump and tell us what you think. READ FULL STORY »

A&E plans a celebrity 'Coming Out' show: You interested?
Image Credit: Todd Williamson/WireImageLook, it’s 2010, and we’re living in a post-gay world. Neil Patrick Harris is Emmy nominated again this year for playing straight horndog Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. Openly bisexual Anna Paquin could heat up the screen opposite a brick wall on True Blood. Chicks and dudes alike scream with randy delight as Adam Lambert swivels his hips on his current Glam Nation tour. So when it comes to our entertainers, it really shouldn’t matter who’s gay, who’s in the closet, or who’s taken a vow of fameosexuality.
Yet, if it’s really that simple, how come I’m so intrigued by today’s news that A&E has greenlit Coming Out, a one-time reality special from Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman that will focus on famous folks living up to the show’s title and, yep, coming out of the closet? (Bragman, who served as a spokesperson for Chaz Bono and Meredith Baxter when they made public their sexual orientations, told PRNewser that he’s currently in casting mode, with an eye on a late 2010 airdate.)
To me, this show sounds like must-see TV, and here’s why: READ FULL STORY »

Lunchtime Poll: Darth Vader robs a bank
Image Credit: Suffolk County PDA man dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank in Long Island yesterday. Armed robbery is a serious offense, so we here at PopWatch are restraining ourselves from making any of the 20 million jokes that just popped in our head. (I do have a question, though: Is this bank robbery considered canonical?) As we all know, in the criminal justice system, it’s important to ensure that the punishment fits the crime. Join me, PopWatchers, for a geek-tastic game of Judge, Jury, and Executioner.
