TBS just announced that they are developing a talk show called Me Time with Diablo Cody that will focus on the writer-memoirist-producer's perspective on Hollywood and pop culture.
Here's a trailer for Young Adult, the new movie from Juno collaborators Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman. Do those names send chills through your spine? Good ones, or bad ones?
It's time to make this mostly unheralded actor a bigger name, and now he has his chance. Also today: We've found your favorite movie, Matthew Morrison gets serious, and some curious Lake Bell news.
Another model is making the transition to acting, against all odds. Also today: Two ladies, real ladies, are directing movies, Starz cuts off the head of King Arthur, and Vince Vaughn is going to shock you.
Oh man, just when my favorite show about a woman with multiple personality disorder was getting good, Showtime went and canceled the poorly-rated United States of Tara. I mean this is the network that lets Nancy Botwin run completely rampant on Weeds for about three seasons too many, but they're canning a show that won Toni Collette an Emmy and a Golden Globe? And since Diablo Cody can't write another hit (after Juno) and can't keep her show on the air, what is she going to do now?
Jakob Dylan rocked Rupert Murdoch's minions; a Googler chatted with the Chinese police; and Diablo Cody announced her miniature kinda-
human.
Well, she really doesn't want to, but she might have to. Plus: a YouTuber becomes a TV movie star, the balcony closes for good, Diablo Cody makes her All About Steve, and fat people ruin America. Also, Sarah Palin.
ACORN eagerly celebrated the bust of its most effective critic; Brad King wished for Condé Nast's comeuppance; and Gabe Rivera prayed that TechCrunch would fix a near-criminal advertisement. The Twitterati were out for blood.
Dr. Drew Pinsky turned into a self-harming cutter; Diablo Cody disagreed with the internet and a CNN anchor got dissed. Things went pear shaped for the Twitterati.
A LOLcat mogul made a perhaps jokey offer to become Ruth Reichl's boss; Diablo Cody's baby craving became overpowering and Joy Behar made a David Letterman zinger. The Twitterati were all about wanting what you can't have.
Jessica Simpson loved her probably-eaten dog like a child; Kirstie Alley is spending money buying imaginary things and Wolf Blitzer posted a celebrity photo to his new Twitter account. The Twitterati let their emotions guide them.
Demi and Rumer enjoy some male stripper action, Jessica Simpson angles for an American Idol gig, the fate of Michael Jackson's corpse remains a creepy mystery, Lady Gaga abuses men, Britney sports a new bikini, and Hugh Grant contemplates retirement.
Orlando Bloom passes on playing Will Turner to be with his girlfriend, Megan Fox thinks zombies are sexy, Tara Reid is quite skinny, Paris Hilton claims to have inspired Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse almost dies after a binge.
Rick Sanchez is apologized for the lack of shameless pandering on CNN; Diablo Cody Twittered about therapy and Rafe Needleman lamented the silent passing of an historic moment. The Twitterati needed catharsis today.
Oooh, look! It's Diablo Cody's follow-up to her Academy Award-winning (shoot me) Juno. The redband (NSFW?) trailer for Jennifer's Body, a snarky horror movie about Megan Fox being a righteous man-eating demon, has been released and we're... oddly intrigued.
Blow a kiss in Adriana Lima's direction. The supermodel turns 28 today. Others celebrating: Yankees star Hideki Matsui is turning 35. Deputy mayor Kevin Sheekey is turning 43. David Rockefeller is 94. Sports Marv Albert is turning 68. Real estate broker Michele Kleier is 66. Hunter College president Jennifer Raab turns 53. Kendra Wilkinson is turning 24. And George H. W. Bush celebrates his 85th birthday today. Weekend birthdays—including those of the Olsen twins and Donald Trump—after the jump.
What did I learn from Twitter today? Diablo Cody thinks dicks are dicks, Ruth Reichl makes a mean Gene Simmons, and Michelle Obama has her own big-media stalkerblog. Excellent! More Twitterings from the media elite:
Diablo Cody and her Hollywood gal-pals cooperated on today's self-consciously sexy New York Times profile. Odd, then, that they complained people pay too much attention to their looks.
Megan Fox and her fiance, David from 90210, have broken up. Sad news—especially since Fox has her now-ex's name permanently tattooed on her body. Which other celebrities have made the same mistake?
Diablo's Tara draws strong ratings in total homeskillets. [THR]
