The question is: Is it entertaining to watch other people play games? Based on the first episode, the answer might be yes — as long as the right celebrities are involved. For the premiere episode, Lynch brought in Martin Short , Lisa Kudrow , Matthew Perry , Alyson Hannigan , Daniel Dae Kim and Kristen Bell . They weren’t all comedians, but you would never have known it from the various antics during the games. Even in this group, however, some stars proved more entertaining — like Martin Short — than others.

Putting Hollywood’s biggest bombs back together

<img src='http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/130708180658-worstmovies-hudsonhawk-horizontal-gallery.jpg&#039; width='360px' alt='“Hudson Hawk” (1991): Another film done in by a bloated budget, poor marketing and backroom gossip (star Bruce Willis, center, was the subject of several rumors). The film by “Heathers” director Michael Lehmann was one of the biggest bombs of the 1990s. But more recent takes say it makes a pretty decent screwball comedy.’ style=’float:left;padding:5px’ />

It was the highest-grossing film of the year. But today, it’s still a synonym for “debacle,” thanks to the gossip and its rumored $45 million budget (more than $300 million in today’s money). Similarly, “Heaven’s Gate,” the 1980 Michael Cimino drama, spawned tales of directorial excess and drug usage. The theatrical release, which initially ran 219 minutes, was greeted by poor reviews and terrible box office. The film cost more than $44 million and grossed less than one-tenth of that.

Two Hollywood Producers Can’t Escape Foreign Bribery Penalty

He rejects the appellants’ contention that the restitution order violated the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2000 ruling in Apprendi v. New Jersey , which laid out some basis for putting sentencing in a jury’s hands. STORY: Rupert Murdoch Bribery Admission Caught on Tape (Report) Kozinski notes that “while the Supreme Court has yet to hold whether Apprendi applies to restitution, it has said in dictum that ‘[i]ntruding Apprendis rule into’ decisions to impose ‘statutorily prescribed fines and orders of restitution’ would ‘cut the rule loose from its moorings.’ Thats some indication the Court would not apply Apprendi to restitution… .” The judge also declined to accept the Greens’ “trigger argument” that while Apprendi might not apply to the amount of restitution, it should pertain to restitution in the first place. Nor the other way.

Hollywood Gold Cup All About Game On Dude

GAINOR: Hollywood’s obsession with murder and rape

Game On Dude will carry a career-high impost of 127 pounds in the 1 1/4-mile Gold Cup, to be contested for the 74th time. That doesn’t seem likely to stop the four-time grade I winner in a race Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith should be able to dictate from the start. That’s what happened last year when Game On Dude disposed of outsider Spud Spivens after a half mile and cruised to a 1 1/2-length triumph over his Bob Baffert-trained stablemate Richard’s Kid as the 2-5 favorite. The victory made Chantal Sutherland the first female jockey to win the Gold Cup. It also gave Baffert the distinction of saddling the first two finishers in consecutive Gold Cups. He also trained 2011 winner First Dude , who nosed out Game On Dude in a tremendous finish.

In all, there are at least 20 different TV shows focused on serial killers. Even the FBI would call that overkill. The bureau estimates there are between 35 and 50 serial killers operating in the United States at any one time. The dark CBS drama Criminal Minds has had more than 100 serial killers in just the past seven seasons. It was so bad that actor Mandy Patinkin left the show in 2007, later calling it very destructive to my soul and my personality. Mr. Patinkin emphasized his point: I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. Rape.

West Hollywood Prop 8 Rally Remembers Those Who Made 2013 Supreme Court Decision Possible

“They lived as sisters and moved around a lot,” said Ehrenstein. “I think they’re both looking down and celebrating with us. I really do.” Borsum and Ehrenstein, who have been together for 31 years, married in 2008 during the brief period in which same-sex marriage was legal in California. They can still remember the time, back in 1983, that a Las Vegas hotel turned them away when they requested one king-sized bed in their hotel room. It was experiences like those, in addition to California voters’ approval of Prop 8 in 2008, that made them believe they would never see marriage equality in their lifetime. Now, said Borsum, “we want to see it across the country.” Los Angeles resident Brad Bigelow, 58, had a more immediate memory.

What’s Next for Hollywood’s Most Feared Reporter?

Instead, the supposed scoop came from rival Sharon Waxman’s entertainment trade news site, The Wrap , late Sunday night. Waxman’s story suggested that Finke had become a victim of her own success, both in making her Deadline Hollywood the go-to site for breaking trade news — and in making enemies of virtually everyone in the industry. Finke had founded the site in 2006; within three years, it was big enough that Penske Media Corp. (PMC) had purchased it. But according to Waxman, Penske CEO Jay Penske had grown tired of fighting with the combative Finke and was firing her, perhaps as soon as the end of this week. Penske and Finke fired back at Waxman with e-blasts of their own.
