Kiefer Sutherland’s African Safari Doubles as Popular TV Movie
5:33AM STV | Kiefer sighting! 12 million of them, in fact, as Sunday night’s 24: Redemption returned Jack Bauer to sneering, skull-cracking form with modest (at best) ratings. His next appearance is scheduled for January — when 24 returns as a series — or in a heartwarming holiday video, should the inspiration strike this year. [THR] Let’s hear it for Catherine Hardwicke! Her $US70 million weekend for Twilight made it the highest opening gross ever for a woman director. [BBC] Steven Seagal’s law-enforcement hobby is evidently serious enough for A&E to feature him in Steven Seagal: Lawman, a new reality series showcasing the actor on duty as a deputy sheriff in Louisiana. [Variety] After the jump: What actress is set to join the Mile-High Club with George Clooney? More »
A Miserable Steven Seagal And Richard Dean Anderson Christen All New Class Of Geek Squad Protection
4:40AM Seth | To roll out their all-new level of Black Tie Geek Squad Protection (the geeks arrive in stretch limousines, carry silver trays, and are all named Giles), Best Buy enlisted the celebrity services of “Four Icons of Protection, Steven Seagal, Richard Dean Anderson and Tanya Roberts,” according to the press release. (That’s just three, but who’s counting?) Our Zune-taunting cousins at Gizmodo were there to catch all the excitement. Sadly, despite the best efforts of the emcee urging him to, “Take this pack of chewing gum, a pogo stick shaft, and a box of nail filings, and make something blow up already!” MacGyver proved to be about as mechanically minded as our mom.

Steven Seagal Thinks The FBI Should Apologise For Killing His Career
9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Steven Seagal, star of such three-word-titled, aikido-enhanced blockbuster entertainments as Above the Law, Hard to Kill, and Out for Justice, thinks that the FBI’s overzealousness in drawing him into the Anthony Pellicano Wiretapping Trial of the Century (you may or may not remember the claims that he had something to do with the intimidation of a reporter who was working on some stories the actor may not have thoroughly enjoyed) is to blame for his career never reaching the stratospheric heights achieved by early 1990s peer Jean-Claude Van Damme. Seagal reaches out to the LAT with his hopes for an apology from the feds: “False FBI accusations fuelled thousands of articles saying that I terrorise journalists and associate with the Mafia,” Seagal, 56, said recently in his first public comments on the case. “These kinds of inflammatory allegations scare studio heads and independent producers – and kill careers.” More »
Steven Seagal: The Boy Who Lived
6:35AM Defamer Hollywood | In this topsy-turvy world of starlets with brains and divine smitings, it’s a relief to know we can count on our masterful DVD bootleggers to peer into their crystal balls and show us how good things could be. A reader sent us this still of the cover of a cheap, pirated copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which radically improves the film by slapping an R rating on it to account for the antics of its salacious new cast: In this rich fantasy world, Marg Helgenberger stars as stripper-cum-academic Hermione Granger, Steven Seagal both appears and thoughtfully brought his prodigious vision as Director of Photography, and we’re treated to the acting debut of recluse “Happy” Dean Stanton, Harry Dean’s cheerfully rapacious prankster brother with a penchant for improv and pantsing people. It all makes us crave an actualisation of this potential Oscar contender – how much more satisfying would the climax be if Steven Seagal, slick ponytail snapping in the breeze, head-butted Voldemort in his noseless noggin before turning his wand into an Uzi? Finally the Academy could reward him for a career that has been woefully overlooked. More »
