I miss ‘Mad Men’ and it hasn’t even been that long! I’m ready for the new season, but according to NY Magazine, I might have to wait a long time.
We know that a new season of ‘Mad Men’ is coming – but what we don’t know is how long it’s going to be until we see it! According to NY Mag, creater Matthew Weiner hasn’t even begun writing season 5!
AMC has promised the world a fifth season of Mad Men, but the network is still negotiating with Lionsgate, which produces the drama. And with Matthew Weiner, whose contract expired. “I have every intention of making the show when they decide to work out their business with Lionsgate,” Weiner said yesterday. “I have said over and over that I want the show to go on and on until it has worn out its welcome and we can’t think of anything more for the characters to do. I’m not looking for a new job. I’m dying to go back to work, but the truth is I don’t know what their plans are. We have not started writing. I am not back at work. They are fighting over a very lucrative property, and who is going to pay for it to get made; it’s one of the biggest perils of success — everyone wants a piece of it now and they are fighting over who is gonna get the biggest chunk. Then they will come to me because talent is last. It would be heartbreaking for me if they don’t work it out. Horrifying, really.”
Brooklyn Decker gets naked on the cover of Esquire Magazine this month.
The 23-year old model is married to tennis hottie Andy Roddick.
Though Brooklyn has done mostly swimsuit modeling (feel free to hate her), she will star alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in ‘Just Go With It’ which comes out next week.
Who would have thought the worst part of the Super Bowl would have been the Black Eyed Peas half time show? It was terrible, that’s what most news outlets are reporting.
There was a lot of effort put into the show – but it didn’t really pay off. The end result looked as if they were trying too hard. There were a few microphone issues – and a few lyrics issues. I wish they would have gone out there and done something exciting and new. It just fell flat, in my opinion.
They sang songs that we’re all tired of, by now. I found myself saying – “Ugh, not this song again!”. Usher made a one-song appearance, and Slash came onstage long enough for Fergie to butcher “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” It was painful to watch.
From Pop Eater: “There is little doubt that this will go down in the history books as a massive fail. There is a reason that legends like The Who and The Rolling Stones serve a Super Bowl audience well. They know what they’re doing in a Texas-sized stadium. Let’s see what they’re doing next year.”
From the Washington Post: “Sweet Child O’ Mine” will now forever be associated with Fergie doing a half-hearted snake dance with furry man-creature Slash. Somewhere, Axl Rose is weeping.”
A new rumor is spreading online today, one that sounds intriguing! According to Grazia, Blake Lively is being considered to play a young Carrie Bradshaw in a prequel to the role Sarah Jessica Parker made famous.
Studio bosses are in talks to fill the glamour void with a prequel film, following the success of Candace Bushnell’s bestselling book The Carrie Diaries, about the teenage years of her heroine.
Candace has just finished a second novel called Summer And The City, which takes up where Diaries left off and follows 19-year-old Carrie’s move from Connecticut to NYC.
SATC producer Michael Patrick King has already expressed interest in adapting the book for the big screen – and he wants Blake Lively to play the young Carrie.
“There are no plans to bring SJP and the other girls back together in the old format,” says an insider. “The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie’s first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man.”
What do you think about Blake playing Carrie? Love it or hate it?
My favorite part of the Super Bowl were those few seconds between commercials where the cameras pan to the box where all the celebs sit. I quickly try to pick out who’s sitting where, and who’s sitting by who. During one of these breaks, we see Cameron Diaz feeding boyfriend Alex Rodriguez popcorn.
Commentator Joe Buck pointed out, “I’m sure Alex Rodriguez is happy that we put the cameras on him at that exact moment.”
What does it take to get into that box, that’s what I want to know!
