"Snotty, condescending Katherine Heigl should be happy, being that not only was she left off the nominations list, but that her show "Grey's Anatomy" wasn't nominated for a Best Drama award. However, everybody's favorite nonsense show "Lost" certainly was, along with the ridiculously overrated "Boston Legal." Also on the list are "Dexter," "House," "Damages" and "Mad Men," which received a whopping 16 nominations. The last two are the very first cable series' nominated for Best Drama.The Comedy Series Emmy is bound to be a tough one, with NBC's two funniest shows ("The Office" and "30 Rock") going head to head for the award, which "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" are up for as well. Best Actress in a Comedy should either go to Mary-Louise Parker for the highly potent "Weeds" or "30 Rock"'s Tina Fey, comedy's reigning queen. Props to Julia Louis-Dreyfus for a nomination, but her time for awards passed with "Seinfeld." In a first for the decades-old it's-good-it's-bad-it's-good-again "Saturday Night Live," someone has been nominated as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy - and that somebody is blonde firecracker Amy Poehler. Poehler's husband, funnyman Will Arnett was also nominated for an award - Best Guest Actor in a Comedy series. He joins Rip Torn, Steve Buscemi and Tim Conway (all for "30 Rock") on the list, as well as Shelley Berman of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

"While her dialogue was clunky, and she seems to be the only non-floozy female in Gotham City, I found Rachel Dawes to be a very reassuring presence in The Dark Knight. There were opportunities galore to sex her up, and flake away her brains, but Christopher Nolan didn't take it. Instead, she's a capable career woman, who dresses smartly (love that blue dress of hers), and holds her own against Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent. I can see why both men love her, because frankly, I kind of do too. As the brainy girl oft passed up for the flashier model, I like that the smart girl gets the studliest guys in Gotham – and isn't dependent on either one of them. (Someone will knock me here for judging Dawes by her attractiveness to men, but perhaps I can temper it by saying that I especially admire Dawes' emotional fortitude in her darkest hour?) And maybe I can further temper the "studly" remark by my commendation of Virginia "Pepper" Potts in Iron Man. I love that she so coolly resisted the suave charms of Tony Stark. She had a few wobbly moments in the middle of the film, but hey, not every personal assistant can handle corporate espionage and her boss in a robot suit. Plus her verbal volley towards Stark's "Remember that night?" made up for it. She could have easily hopped into bed with him at any point of the movie – investigative journalists did, with nary a care – but Potts knew she deserved better. But the prize for the most kickass female of summer belongs to a little iPod lookalike named EVE. She's rebellious (her free flight after being dropped off on Earth speaks volumes), she packs firepower, and she takes her directive so seriously that no boy, not even one as cute and attentive as WALL-E, can dissuade her. There was something vaguely Princess Leia-like about her that I couldn't put my finger on – maybe it was her coloring, maybe it was her blaster, but when she proved to be a co-savior of Earth, I wasn't surprised. Frankly, the emotion tucked into her repeated "Plant!" packed more punch than most of the lines given to any of summer's love interests. Way to go EVE – it's a sad state of affairs when you're more complex and interesting than half your human counterparts. Let's hope Summer 2009 fares better in this regard. (I'm looking at you, Terminator: Salvation, Star Trek, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Don't let me down. Give me someone to rival Elizabeth Swann, at least.)
That concludes my scorecard on the girls of summer. There's two I left off because I haven't seen the films yet andthat's Liv Tyler as the latest Betty Ross in The Incredible Hulk, and Selma Blair's Liz Sherman in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. So please, tell me where you think they should rank! Source: www.cinematical.com
"At one point, after telling Pepper to cue up the fireworks, Stark takes two girls up to a pimped-out room for a little ... company. On their way up to the room, they pick up a third girl and away we go. Sure, I understand why the scene existed (in order to get Stark, the socialite, from Cali to the Middle East so that Stark, the superhero, could take care of some business), but I also see why it was left on the cutting room floor. Too much playing, too much suave ... too much period. But what do you think?

"I'm playing "Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo." Rather, the album is playing me. It is ear-fucking the shit out of me. If I listen to "Blast Off" one more time, my neighbors might call the fuzz.Like most Gen Y-types, I've been enjoying this man's pop confections since I was basically a kid. I was surprised/tickled last year when Michael Cera, then 18, asked me "Do you like Weezer?" I was like, "Of COURSE I like Weezer! I was 15 when the Blue Album came out! They were mine first! Seriously, I should be trying to turn you on to Weezer." Blew my mind.
It's really cool that the Weez now have a second wave of teenage fans who consider the music theirs. I mean, it is theirs. But you know what I mean. This must be how my parents felt when I ran downstairs reeking of Spiritual Sky incense and announced that I'd discovered an incredible band called the Doors.
Anyway, I love, love, love this record. I can't even choose a favorite song. Lyrically, Cuomo has this amazing ability to sound totally idiotic and profound at the same time. I choose to interpret that as emotional genius. Your call". Source: Diablo Cody at Blog.myspace.com
MICHAEL CERA ("Buddy Holly" by Rivers Cuomo) VIDEO:
Selma Blair with Jake in "The Good Girl" Hollywood Premiere. "Selma Blair was spotted in this trashtastic blue get up on the set of Kath and Kim the other day with some cozy slippers and James Frey's Bright Shiny Morning perhaps to read between takes. Selma told us she gained over 20 pounds to play the role and although she still looks fabulous, we can expect Selma to keep growing out of her clothes and more into her character. She said she loves playing and figuring out her new role as Kim. Selma's also spending her days on the set giggling with her co-stars, Mikey Day and Molly Shannon. Sounds like the energy on this show is amazing and if Selma's outfits are any indication of the over the top character she'll be playing then it's just more of a reason to watch the show next month."
