David Silver And Samantha Micelli Will Never, Ever Die
Both rappers who are real and rappers who were on silly shows from the early-mid 90’s are getting acting work in Hollywood. Plus TV stars of old and new get good news.
Curtis Jackson, aka rapping singer “Fifty Cents”, keeps being in movies. His next one is about corrupt police officers and costars a crackerjack cast of Chris Klein, Adam Rodriguez, and Richard T. Jones. The film is being shepherded under the auspices of Jackson’s new production house, called Cheetah Vision films. The company is also working on an adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde to costar Forest Whitaker. One hopes that means Jekyll & Hyde the Broadway musical. One really, really hopes. [Variety]
Lurking through television’s seediest corners like some sort of hobo superhero, Brian Austin Green continues to pick up bizarre, vaguely depressing TV gigs. Fresh off the canceled (sniff) Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, ol’ Davey Silver might join the cast of One Tree Hill for its seventh landmark season. He’d play a cocky, youngish sports agent named Clayton, because very few people on that show have normal names. [THR]
And let’s just keep the good TV news coming. It was touch and go there for a while, because maybe America’s kids just keep getting older or there was that invasive mouth surgery that was gonna happen just to see what the hell is really going on with that. But in the end, hope and dreams won out. The Disney Channel has ordered a fourth season of Miley Cyrus’ beautiful show Hannah Montana. Billy Ray dances and chuckles at the moon. [Variety]
American charmer Alyssa Milano has signed on to star in the romantic comedy My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, which is probably a lot less kinky of a movie than it sounds. Considering Beau Bridges and Christopher Gorham are costars. [THR]
Richard Shepard has signed on to direct the film The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, which I think is about me right now because I just found out that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts thinks I owe them $US800 in three-year-old taxes. Which is a lie! [THR]
Oh never mind, I’m happy again. A Where’s Waldo? movie. Finally. [THR]

@DahlELama: I'm the same way.......I still watch Grey's...

@Mymoustache:
Somewhere, Lucinda Dickey weeps.
@Mediokra: I know! I know! I can't explain the attraction. I latch onto shows and I have a weird, unending loyalty to them. It's why I still watch SNL...
DahlELama
@DahlELama: You should be ashamed of yourself.

Angriest Man in Brooklyn...Spike Lee bio?

@Smitros: hahaha

Can a gay man be madly in love with Samantha and really hate Jonathan? Is that wrong?
@Fry_Bread_Power: I thought your were intentionally referencing iCarly (whoever that is...)

Richard, you totally made up Cheetah Vision Films , didn't you? You did, right? Richard? C'mon, that can't be real. I mean, really. Who'd name their movie company Leopard Print Sofa or Tiger Claw Bolo Tie? That's just ridiculous.

@Fry_Bread_Power:
But an "iNick Lachey" sounds intriguing. I'm guessing it's a cute, vaguely ergonomic white plastic device that isn't all that useful or user-friendly, but is so cleverly advertised we don't even care.

Clayton is a totally normal name in the South. I know several. Get out more, Gawker!

@Fry_Bread_Power: *Nick
1. Lurking through television's seediest corners like some sort of hobo superhero...
This may be the best intro Brian Austin Green will ever receive.
2. I think One Tree Hill should change its name to iNick Lachey, so people will ask "Who?' instead of "What?" You know, to mix it up a bit.
@DennyCrane: The CW's business model apparently does not require Nielsen ratings points to sell advertising spots on its shows.

@EleanorRigby: I kind of hope it's about a guy in a striped sweater and ski hat with round black glasses who just walks through Manhattan for two and a half hours, alternately hiding behind lampposts and street signs. Just sounds like good, clean fun.
DahlELama
@DennyCrane: I hope it's not because I still watch it, because I'll be very, very embarrassed if it's my fault.
DahlELama
They've probably wanted to use the name Clayton on OTH for years, but couldn't because it rhymes with Peyton. Just think how excited they must've been to get rid of Hillarie Burton.

Serious question: how is One Tree Hill still on the air?
I hear they're going to try to make the Waldo movie on the cheap by recycling leftover Harry Potter footage.
I'm hoping Where's Waldo is another adaptation of The Most Dangerous Game, with a fine list of B or C List character actors looking-- that is, all the ones not in The Expendables
I hope the Where's Waldo movie is about a rogue killing machine the government just can't track down, despite the fact that he wears red and white striped shirts, a matching hat, and doofy glasses. So basically they should superimpose the shirt, hat and glasses onto Matt Damon in the Bourne movies. I bet people would see that.
What about breakdancers?
There is an Alfonso Ribeiro-shaped void in the collective heart.
You missed the part in that article on Richard Shepard about how he made a documentary about John Cazale!
