Doctor Who thing of the day: dominated by white men
mswyrr at the sea and the mirror doesn’t like the way Series 6 has been going, and looks at one possible reason in “Doctor Who and Where The Fail Comes From”…
talent buzz
question of the day: Do you think it’s weird when a character has the same name as the actor playing the role?
I always think, What the hell is this? He can’t remember to respond to a different name?
question of the day: Is the Hollywood Walk of Fame a relic of yesteryear… and how could we update it?
Jon Cryer got a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood yesterday. I’ve got nothing against the guy, but I thought: How quaint! Walk of Fame? So 1950s.
things you need to know: women with large breasts are whores, unless they wear burkas (this means you, Christina Hendricks)
Hendricks should learn how to be a modest lady and starve herself down to a size 0 A cup. Obviously.
question of the day: Why is there such a voracious appetite for naked-celebrity photos?
Do they make us feel better about ourselves? Is it just plain and simple purience? Do fans feel “entitled” to see a celeb naked after being teased with legit, posed, nearly naked images of the same celeb over and over again? Something else?
things you need to know: Tyler Perry is the best-paid man in Hollywood in 2011
His secret: Perry just doesn’t make the same old shit again and again. He makes new, different shit.
question of the day: What actors would you ban from working in Hollywood, and for what offense?
Of course, we have no power to ban anyone, and we’re not even calling for anyone to actually be banned. We’re just daydreaming about those people we’d like to think could no longer enjoy their fame and fortune.
question of the day: What changes would you actually like to see in the ‘Star Wars’ saga?
Perhaps little Anakin could be de-whined somehow?
press release of the week: DreamWorks Animation’s Jennifer Yuh Nelson Becomes Highest-Grossing Female Director Of Worldwide Box Office Film
It’s shame that Kung Fu Panda 2 isn’t really much of an expression of Jennifer Yu Nelson-ness and is very much an expression of Big Corporate Cartoon Franchise-ness.
celeb news of the week: Steven Soderbergh does some second-unit shooting on ‘The Hunger Games’ (but he hopes you won’t notice it)
Since when do big-name celebrity hotshots take on a job that is usually thankless and typically invisible? When they’re nice guys helping out a pal.
