‘Arrested Development’ Film Tracker: Mega Update

2:42AM Kyle Buchanan | Sure, the gates of pop culture hell have been flung open today, but we’re going to fend off Cerberus (he’s been barking outside Defamer HQ all morning, and with three heads, it’s a little noisy) until we get our Arrested Development movie, dammit! Today’s update comes courtesy of one of the show’s stars, who not only confirms involvement in the film but offers word of a start date, marvellously slams a current network series, and gives tentative comments on the Michael Cera imbroglio.

3:05AM STV | Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Shipping With the Stars Edition! 11/24 —I saw JASON PRIESTLEY and his wife, maybe? (a cute blonde) having someone from the UPS store in Toluca Lake bring a dolly-full of boxes from the store to their car. As the parking lot behind the store was packed, we all had to fight to even get out, and I think I may have cut him off… oops… [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.au.] More »

Grab A Nip Slip Eyeful Of 90210’s AnnaLynne McCord!

8:24AM Kyle Buchanan | We’ll admit that we stopped paying attention to the new 90210 after they demoted Lucille Bluth, but it appears from these on-set photos that producers have figured out an exciting new guest star for their reboot: the Nip Slip! Our old friend N.S. shared scenes with show lioness AnnaLynne McCord, who we remember fondly for her work on Nip/Tuck (and who probably should have kept her nip tucked here, hey-o). Let this serve as a lesson to McCord: when filming a running scene, a bra (and the occasional hamburger) can provide invaluable support. Click through for the full, uncensored photo. More »

Jennie Garth Still Stumped By How To Use a Phone

6:40AM Kyle Buchanan | While doing interviews before the new 90210 premiered, star Jennie Garth always seemed to imply that she wanted to call her old co-stars, really she did, but something always got in the way! When Tori Spelling was axed over salary disputes, a stumped Garth attempted to get in contact with her solely through the pages of Entertainment Weekly, and when Shannen Doherty was added to the recurring cast, Garth asked for her number and then stared at her phone as if willing it to rise into the air, dialing on its own. Now, Garth tells OK! that her selective telephonophobia continues to this day: More »

This Wasn’t The Steamy ‘True Blood’ Guy-On-Guy Kiss We Were Hoping For

8:10AM Seth | An All Gays edition: We were kind of hoping Alan Ball would throw us a bone by way of some hot all-man, V-juiced action, but instead we got Lafayette getting busy with Milton from Office Space. [True Blood] Sam Jackson wants these motherfucking civil rights abusers off his motherfucking gay marriage legislation! 90210 hunk Dustin Milligan wrote a very thoughful and sweet apology on his blog in reference to an internet sketch in which he called Elvis the “King of Homos.” (”No one should be made to feel like they or their sexuality/lifestyle is synonymous with ’stupid,’ and no one should be made to feel like they are less than anyone else because of who they love.”) We also learned from his website bio that he hails from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. 9021O Canada! Here they are, boys: Cosmopolitan’s 25 Sexiest Men list! We didn’t make it again. And finally: the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer. Gay wizards galore! More »

Hold Onto Your Vodka Martini: ‘90210′ Creators Demote Lucille Bluth

9:40AM Kyle Buchanan | The Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise has historically not been kind to the elder relatives of its nubile teens, which is why we were a little confused when producers of the new 90210 reboot announced that they’d be casting not just parents but a grandmother. Would there really be room on the show for a regular over sixty, we wondered? Then, they hired Jessica Walter for the role and announced she’d essentially be reprising her Lucille Bluth character from Arrested Development, and suddenly all the Shannens and Jennies in the world paled in comparison. Sadly, EW’s Michael Ausiello says that Walter’s contract has now been slashed: More »

Act Now, And Watch Pitchwoman Jessica Alba Apply a Muzzle to Hayden Panettiere

4:45AM Kyle Buchanan | From megastars like Matt Damon to Cutting Edge alums like D.B. Sweeney, it seems like every celebrity in Hollywood has an opinion about this November’s presidential election. Earlier this week, actress Jessica Alba decided to muzzle herself if that’s what it would take to get America to vote (an enticing motivator, though perhaps not as compelling as keeping Diddy out of sight forever). Now, a curiously able-to-speak again Alba has decided to pay it forward, muzzling other celebrities like Heroes star Hayden Panettiere and 90210’s Tristan Wilds (is this because he made out with Dakota? Is it?!). Props must be paid to Alba, whose maniacally enthusiastic pitch should probably shoot to the top of her reel. Extra points if she can sew Dane Cook’s lips shut next time! The clip, after the jump: More »
