I Want a Famous Face PDF Print E-mail
Written by Veronica   

I have a confession to make.  Not the "I-ate-the-last-chocolate-chip-cookie" type, but a full-blown, "Real World," dark room revelation that is likely to spur some horrified gasps from Perez Hilton and the viewers at home.  Though I have spent the past two years and two months working as an assistant aspiring to one day acquire the title “big wig television executive” with the corner office and corporate card, I have another secret fantasy.  No, it does not involve Justin Timberlake.  Or maybe it does, but not until the fourth act.  Though it pains me to admit it, when I moved to Los Angeles I kind of, sort of, maybe thought I might be "discovered" and become Julia Roberts famous.

I blame it on the movies.  They ruined my chances of ever being satisfied by a regular boring, non-chiseled abs man because of Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It, and they have similarly ruined my chances of being satisfied by a job that doesn’t involve me being filmed, photographed, or begged for an autograph.  Signing my bi-weekly time sheets does not count.  And neither does getting caught on my office’s security cameras “adjusting myself” in the elevator.  Though I am a bit of an exhibitionist, I’m not convinced I want to be famous for correcting the alignment of my underwear on YouTube.  I’d much prefer being featured doing so in US Weekly’s “Stars They’re Just Like Us” section.

The VMAs: Am I Getting Old or Losing Touch? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Lisa LaValle   

At some point back in my youth, I signed up for a weekly email newsletter from MTV.  Normally I just delete it, but a few weeks ago, I noticed the subject line announcing the VMAs, and would I like to take a look at the nominees?  Why certainly, MTV, don’t mind if I do.  So I did, and I felt my heart go into my stomach – I hadn’t seen a single one of the nominated videos.  For real.  What happened?  Was I losing touch with pop culture, or at least with the musical variety of pop culture?  Or did I just get old and cranky?

Five Ways Tom Rothman Buried Fox PDF Print E-mail
Written by Scott Widney   

As box office watchers and readers of Variety likely know, it’s been a rough summer for 20th Century Fox.  Costly flops like Meet Dave and Babylon A.D., coupled with the embarrassment of being the only major studio without a $100 million performer, has apparently sent raindrops falling inside the once-sunny world of Murdoch & Co.’s feature film division.  But where some see a temporary downturn, I see the chickens of Fox Filmed Entertainment CEO and co-chair Tom Rothman at long last coming home to roost.
