'Entourage' script in the works: What should it be about? And what should they avoid?

You haven’t hugged it out (b*tch) until you’ve hugged it out at the multiplex. Luckily, for fans of Entourage, they’ll likely get to do just that. While there’s been word for some time that the HBO series would be adapted for the big screen — the series’ executive producer/occasional guest star/inspiration Mark Wahlberg told EW back in December that he wanted an Entourage movie to happen — it now seems the show’s writer and producer Doug Ellin is moving in that direction.

Ellin told The Hollywood Reporter at the New York City premiere for the eighth and final season of Entourage that he does, in fact, have a script in the works (Ellin’s reps told EW they had “no comment” regarding the news) while Emmanuelle Chriqui (E’s lady Sloan) revealed to Fox & Friends that, “Nothing is definitive but it’s not just a rumor anymore.” READ FULL STORY »

Rachel Griffiths, most recently of ABC’s just-canceled Brothers and Sisters, will make her Broadway debut this fall in the Jon Robin Baitz drama Other Desert Cities. The Australian actress will be stepping into a role first created by stage vet Elizabeth Marvel in an Off Broadway production of the show at Lincoln Center Theatre earlier this year. Griffiths will play Brooke Wyeth, the daughter of a once-prominent Republican bigwig who returns to her parents’ home in Palm Springs for the holidays with news of a planned tell-all memoir about the family. Awkward silences, loud outbursts, and shocking revelations naturally ensue.

Judith Light, the Who’s the Boss? star who appeared on Broadway last season in Lombardi, will also be joining the cast as Brooke’s acerbic aunt. Linda Lavin, who originated the role, has committed to another Off Broadway production this fall, Nicky Silver’s new comedy The Lyons. The rest of director Joe Mantello’s original cast remains intact: Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach as Brooke’s parents and Thomas Sadowski as her TV-producer brother. Previews are slated to begin at the Booth Theatre on Oct. 12, with opening night set for Nov. 3.

Steve Carell says he's game for a 'Daily Show' reunion. Let's make this happen immediately!

It was a touching homecoming on last night’s episode of The Daily Show when former correspondent Steve Carell stopped by to promote his latest flick, the wonderful Crazy, Stupid, Love (much to Jon Stewart’s mock disappointment that Carell’s co-star Ryan Gosling couldn’t come by instead.)

Not only did it reunite Carell with his Papa Bear (“I miss you so much,” the actor/nicest-guy-on-the-face-of-the-Earth told the host) but there was something of a mini-Daily Show get-together as fellow alums Vance DeGeneres, Nancy Walls (Carell’s wife) and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders (who knew?) were also in tow. When Stewart told Carell — who likened visiting The Daily Show to “coming home” — they’ve been thinking of having a full-on Daily Show reunion to get the old gang back together, the star immediately replied, “I think that’s a great idea, I would love to.” In fact, Carell says he’d be up for doing anything, including a field piece. Check out Stewart’s intimate idea at the 4:10 mark of the full clip below, in which the two old pals also reminisce about Daily Show departure parties and Carell getting “fired” from The Office.

Ryan Gosling: Tell me, Jimmy, have you even been in a Turkish bath?

Ryan Gosling continues his talk show tour for Crazy, Stupid, Love, and last night’s visit with Jimmy Fallon was another memorable stop. He brought his “muppet” dog George (who insists on having a Mohawk; when the hair starts to grow out George becomes a jerk, Gosling insists) and recounted a visit to a Turkish bath in his new home, New York City. Watch it below. In short: It was a painful experience that resulted in Gosling licking his masseuse’s belly after it went in his mouth (“Don’t judge me, but you know how when you eat something weird your brain sends your tongue to investigate?” he asked) and a lot of tipping.

In the second clip, Gosling attempts to explain his new movie. READ FULL STORY »

Melanie LaPatin on 'So You Think You Can Dance': This is how we do it!

Melanie_LaPatin_1

Hi, guys! Thank you, as always, for all of your questions and comments. (You got me, AL — this must be why I’d never make it as a fact-checker!) Before we dive in to last night’s SYTYCD performances, I thought I’d try to ‘A’ Rebecca’s ‘Q’ about what the days leading up to the show are like, at least from my (and, I assume, most choreographers’) perspective…

Usually, once my partner, Tony Meredith, and I get to L.A. (or Canada, obviously, if we’re working on the Canadian version), it goes something like this:

Day 1: By the time Tony and I meet the dancers, we will have already worked out the choreography that we have in mind for them — which, heaven knows, is a must — and will have already even sent the wardrobe department design ideas! This first day together, we only get 90 minutes (on camera, no less) to show the couple their moves. After that, we head over to the costume designer to look into their wardrobe, and the dancers practice on their own. READ FULL STORY »

This Week's Cover: When Bond Met Indy

How do you interview tough guys like Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig? Carefully, very carefully. It also helps if you bring their Cowboys & Aliens director Jon Favreau in on the conversation. Last week, the three men sat down with EW at a ranch in Montana to discuss their upcoming genre-mashing sci-fi-western about extraterrestrials invading New Mexico in the 1870s. “A journey of redemption,” Craig calls the film, which is a lot more serious than its title suggests (it was produced by an all-star team of heavyweights, including Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Brian Grazer).

Beyond space invaders, the three amigos talk about everything from wearing chaps, to getting older, to their famous franchises. READ FULL STORY »

'Twilight' at Comic-Con 2011: Talking to the fans at Camp Breaking Dawn

Categories: Breaking Dawn

Tomorrow, Twilight is hosting a presentation in Comic-Con’s massive Hall H for the upcoming first edition of Breaking Dawn. But fans were already camped out in anticipation for the Twilight panel days ago. Walking through Camp Breaking Dawn can feel a bit like meandering through a candy-colored Hooverville, with various forms of bedding (sleeping bags, towels, foldable chairs, inflatable pool toys) spread in every direction.

The six-person team at the head of the line arrived on Monday morning. READ FULL STORY »

This is it, Dance fans. The moment we’ve all been waiting for! Neil Patrick Harris is going to bring it tonight as a guest judge. Oh yeah, and there’s that little fact that the all-stars will be back! With a lot of the dead weight (hey! you said it, not me) stripped away last week, I actually have hope that tonight’s episode could be a silver lining in this dark cloud of a season. If nothing else, NPH can regale us with tales of dancing with Hugh Jackman. So, enjoy the show, and in the meanwhile, share your thoughts on who did the best tonight, who didn’t live up to expectations, and which all-star trounced his or her fellow alums. (UPDATE: Click here for the So You Think You Can Dance top 10 performance recap!) READ FULL STORY »
