Michael Patrick King DreamWorks' Bitch Now
Posted by Seth at 6:40 AM on May 31, 2008
· Variety reports: "DreamWorks has fashioned a first-look deal for 'Sex and the City' writer-director-producer Michael Patrick King. The deal gives the studio first-look at King's next film project." Is that how those work? We always thought it just meant he gets to keep whichever outfit he wears out of the Barneys dressing room first. [Variety]
· Jon Cryer, William H. Macy, Leslie Mann and James Spader will star in Robert Rodriguez's family comedy Shorts, about a suburb thrown into chaos when an 11-year-old boy is "hit in the head with a rainbow-coloured rock that grants wishes to anyone who holds it." [Variety]
· How I Met Your Mother showrunner Greg Malins signed a two-year, mid-sevens deal with Fox, the direct result of Malins having been hit in the head with a rainbow-coloured rock that grants wishes to anyone who holds it. [Variety]
· British TV buyers left L.A. without committing to anything, noting, "Blimey! They've repackaged all the programmes we already got on the telly! Life On Mars? Bollocks." [Variety]
· Donnie Darko SequelWatch: Shut The Fuck Up and Dance host Elizabeth Berkley has signed on to play a "speed freak-turned-Jesus freak" in the blaspheming second chapter of the beloved cult classic, sure to bring down a rain of passenger jet engines upon the homes of all involved. [THR]

@kookla: can they add a six foot bunny so we can skip the Darko sequel? And that three-way is the ultimate mash-up.

After years of living in Matthew Broderick's shadow, someone has finally hit Jon Cryer in the head with the proverbial "rainbow-colored rock." Nice.

Can't wait for the Sex and the City/Indiana Jones crossover sequel.

You guys are stepping up. I'm sorry. I'll shut the fuck up and read.

"Shut the Fuck Up and _____" is the perfect title for any and all reality shows.
"Shut the Fuck Up and Sing (No, Really, Try It)"
"Shut the Fuck Up and Bone This Random Guy Who Gives You Roses In Front of A Bunch of Other Hoes"
"Shut the Fuck Up and Cross the Globe With Your Significant Other (Even If They Are, Inexplicably, Your Grandfather)"
Possibilities are endless. Nomi Malone must, of course, host any and all. Or Tim Gunn.

@kit10indublin: I honestly never really thought about how that was spelled until now. Thanks. Cheers to Dublin! Say hello to all the gay ruggers coming your way for the Bingham Cup.

@CrankYank: If you throw in Buzz Lightyear, you've got a threesome and a sex toy.

DreamWorks has a "studio"?? I thought that was called Paramount?
