“Kinda insulting, no?” one of the nominated writers approached for the gig said. “While we are upholding our current agreement with the WGA, we still wanted to find a way to include the VMC writers in the telecast as it is always an entertaining part of the show,” a spokesman for the TV Academy said.

WatchNeil Patrick Harris makes silly joke about Silly Bandz | EW.com
Time to acknowledge Silly Bandz. Really? Shaped rubber bands that are $3 a piece. Ok. If it gets NPH to make a hilarious joke (watch the video til the end) I’m down.

Fox Searchlight Sets November 5 Release Date For... →
Another keenly-anticipated fall film has been given a release date: Fox Searchlight will open Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours on November 5. That’s well in time for the film to make an impression on awards voters. I don’t even want to get into speculation about whether Boyle can repeat the success he had with Slumdog Millionaire. I just want 127 Hours to be good. The early buzz we’ve heard suggests that...

New Michael Jackson Album Confirmed for November |... →
Forget all those rumors: A new MJ album — featuring ten unreleased songs culled from the “hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop’s ’80s peak” that Jackson left behind — is now confirmed for November. That sounds kind of promising! On the other hand: The collection will most likely feature collaborations with Will.I.Am. [RS]

Which two? Inception obviously and what? Toy Story 3? Does that count?
Those are the ones I had in mind.

'30 Rock' to Do a Live Episode | Vulture →
And some other less important NBC news…
A few minutes ago at TCA, NBC announced that 30 Rock will air a live episode in October. They’ll perform separate versions for viewers on both coasts, giving Tracy Morgan two chances to deliver lines exactly as written. In other Peacock news, Rob Lowe will join Parks and Recreation as a full-time cast member (he had previously only signed on...

Boo! Basically, the majors aren’t happy with Spotify’s setup of offering free unlimited streaming with ads as a way to entice users to paid unlimited streaming with...

Steven Tyler Replacing Kara on 'Idol' | Pop Crunch →
According to online gossips, FOX and Idol producers have finalized deals to have Tyler and pop star Jennifer Lopez join lone original A.I. judge Randy Jackson at the table when Idol returns for its 10th season in Jan. 2011.
This news is coming in too fast to report. I think this is the fourth ‘Idol’ post in a 12 hour period. They couldn’t announce all this at once? Anyway,...
