Trade Roundup: 'What Happens In Vegas' Meant To Elicit Laughter From Paying Audiences
Posted by Seth at 8:20 AM on April 24, 2008
· A bumper crop of comedies are set for release in the coming months, including Baby Mama, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, Sex and the City, What Happens in Vegas, and Made of Honour, some of which could actually be classified as comedies! [Variety]
· Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" sold 463,000 copies in its first week, earning her her sixth #1 album, and us a whole new crop of Stairmaster anthems! [Variety]
· As hopes for a pickup on Cashmere Mafia unravel, showbiz survivor Lucy Liu secures an attractive backup deal in which she'd join the cast of Dirty Sexy Money. [THR]
· An "intimate upfront...at Soho house" unveiled Oxygen's new tagline ("live out loud," whatever that means), as well as their new logo ("the black, lower-case 'oxygen' inside the yellow letter 'O,' which is tilted to one side"). Save it for your iVillage blog, Zucker. [Variety]
· Dancing With the Stars gives ABC a "boost" (translation: still trailing Idol, but a little less pulverized than usual) Tuesday, though let's not forget the contribution of those "two According to Jim episodes as its lead-in." [THR]

Why is it I already know 'Vegas' will suck and also not make any money, yet I'm not running a studio? Who said yes to this junk?

Oxygen's new tagline ("live out loud,"...
Does Richard LaGravenese know about this? Because if the Red Hot Chili Peppers can get their knickers in a knot about "Californication," RL certainly can for the copping of the title of his directorial debut by Lifetime Part Deux cable network.

Oh, Cameron. I yearn for the day you accept your age and start starring opposite appropriately aged leading men. Like Woody Allen.

@D Day: ...a bunch of mouth-breathing yokels who don't even know how to finish the sentence "What happens in Vegas...". They will probably go to see this movie in droves...
It's because they can't wait to see how the *sentence* ends.

Who does Ashton Kutcher look like in that pic because it sure as heck ain't Ashton Kutcher.

"Showbiz survivor Lucy Liu secures an attractive backup deal in which she'd join the cast of Dirty Sexy Money.."
Playing the same kind of character, no doubt.

I have no faith in humanity. I believe this country is filled with a bunch of mouth-breathing yokels who don't even know how to finish the sentence "What happens in Vegas...".
They will probably go to see this movie in droves unless there is a big Nascar race this weekend.

@heidiho: right, because male stars never have obscenely younger female cohorts in their movies.

@bess marvin, girl detective: But the lack of healthy fats in her diet has aged her so! I think they're actually the same age...quick IMDB check...oh wait, she's 6 years older. He's 30? Bullshit!
Anyway. She looks like she needs a sandwich.

"Starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz..."
Thus reads my suicide note.
