| Dave Matthews Band concerts highest grossing of the decade |
[Wednesday the 9th, 10.41AM] |
Dave Matthews Band concerts were the highest grossing concerts of the decade, according to the latest issue of Rolling Stone.
Dave Matthews Band concerts in North America raked in $529.1 million from 2000 to 2009, edging Celine Dion's $522.1 million. The rest of the decade's 10 highest grossing concerts were from Kenny Chesney, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Madonna, The Eagles, Elton John solo and the Elton John/Billy Joel tours.
DMB had the benefit of touring every year this decade, as the band has since its inception. Still, it's quite the impressive feat to top the list of highest grossing concerts. The quest to dominate two decades in a row will begin next year when Dave Matthews Band concerts resume.
I love seeing these guys live, Hollywood Bowl 2007 was such an amazing experience! Looking forward to next summer - hopefully I'll get to the Gorge for the 1st time :D

| New 'Tron Legacy' Image, Official Poster |
[Wednesday the 9th, 01.17PM] |
Opening in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on December 17, 2010, "Tron Legacy" stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Beau Garrett and Michael Sheen.
The Joseph Kosinksi-directed movie is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

| Really, Johnny Depp? Really?! |
[Wednesday the 9th, 10.21AM] |
Johnny Depp Promotes His Film, Hasn't Seen It
TOKYO — Actor Johnny Depp highly recommends his latest movie – though he said he hadn't personally gone out to see it yet.
Depp, in Tokyo for the Japan premiere of "Public Enemies," said Wednesday he was drawn to the movie because of his childhood interest in John Dillinger, the bank robber who in Depression-era America was declared public enemy No. 1 by federal authorities.
"I haven't seen the film yet, but I hear great things about it," Depp said at a news conference at a Tokyo hotel. The movie came out in the U.S. on July 1, but Depp often makes it his practice not to watch his movies, saying he enjoys the film making process but doesn't like to see himself on screen.
Depp said he saw Dillinger, who was eventually killed by police, as a brave and charismatic figure, and listed the famed criminal among his childhood idols, along with Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.
He said he felt a special connection to Dillinger because his own grandfather was pushed into illegal activities – "moonshining," or brewing illegal liquor – to make a living in Kentucky during the Depression.
Unlike Dillinger, however, the 46-year-old Depp, who was named this year's "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine, said he did not believe he had any enemies.
"I don't think I have any enemies, really," Depp said. "The scariest enemy is within, allowing yourself to conform to what is expected of you."
Depp will have an opportunity to watch the movie Thursday, should he choose to do so. He is attending a red carpet event before its Tokyo showing, and will address fans at the theater.

| Harvey Levin is the future of journalism |
[Wednesday the 9th, 12.05PM] |
TMZ's gonna be expanding, y'all!
Warner Bros. wants to expand TMZ, the tabloid news website and TV show that has become the bane of every celebrity's life for its scathing -- and usually accurate -- reporting on the rich and the restless.
TMZ, which was the brainchild of lawyer turned muckraker Harvey Levin, has been run as a partnership between Warner Bros.' Telepictures unit and America Online since it launched in December 2005. Now though, as AOL prepares to spin off from Time Warner, TMZ will become 100% owned and operated by Warner Bros. AOL will continue to feature TMZ on its home page to drive traffic to the site for the next year, but Warner Bros. is also going to start establishing relationships with other portals in an effort to broaden its reach.
Often dismissed as a bunch of kids going through celebrity garbage cans, TMZ gained new prominence when it was first to report that pop star Michael Jackson died. It also has been out front on the Tiger Woods scandal. According to regulatory filings, TMZ had revenues in 2008 of $25.4 million. Warner Bros. wants to grow TMZ's news operation, people close to the operation said. At the same time, though, the company does not plan on investing more in TMZ even though it is now losing its partner.
Instead Warner Bros. wants to get more aggressive and effective in selling advertising across the TV show and the site. TMZ, a person a familiar with the company said, attracts more upscale consumers, and Warner Bros. thinks it can boost ad revenues substantially. TMZ also is increasing its presence on mobile phones, which Warner Bros. thinks it can exploit better now that it is the sole owner.
One thing that is not planned for now is a TMZ cable channel. We think they're missing an opportunity there. How about combining TMZ with Time Warner's Headline News. A Nancy Grace-Harvey Levin combination would be something to behold. It would also be really scary, but anyway.
latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/12/warner-bros-wants-to-beef-up-tmz.html
To those who may hate the website, watch the show. It's the funniest show on TV right now, swear to God.

| Colin Firth Talks to Moviefone about 'A Single Man', 'Bridget Jones 3' and Playing Bad Guys |
[Wednesday the 9th, 12.39PM] |
Colin Firth recently spoke to Moviefone about his latest film 'A Single Man', his new-found Oscar hype because of it, and Bridget Jones 3...
One of the most talked-about film performances of 2009 is Colin Firth's starring role in 'A Single Man.' The British actor's beautifully sensitive portrayal of George Falconer, a gay college professor whose longtime partner dies suddenly, has put him on the shortlist for a Best Actor Oscar nomination. The film, based on the 1964 Christopher Isherwood novel of the same name, was written, directed and produced by Tom Ford, the American fashion designer previously known mainly for helming the houses of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. 'A Single Man' premiered at this year's Venice Film Festival, at which Firth won the Volpi Cup (best actor award).
Firth is probably best known for playing two not terribly different incarnations of a Jane Austen character: ultimate 19th-century heartthrob Mr. Darcy in the beloved 1995 miniseries 'Pride and Prejudice' and his 21st-century counterpart, Mark Darcy, in 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.' But he's also shown his range via diverse roles in movies such as 'Where the Truth Lies,' 'Mamma Mia!' and 'Nanny McPhee.' His screen personae tend to be intelligent, understated and dryly witty, and the man's no different in real life. He chatted with Moviefone about 'A Single Man,' 'Bridget Jones' and playing bad guys, among other other things.

| Access Hollywood: Rising Star - Dave Franco |
[Wednesday the 9th, 12.20PM] |
video
With his square jaw-line, arched eyebrows that frame his deep brown eyes and his ever-so-charming asymmetrical smile, “Scrubs” newbie Dave Franco is not only a handsome looking 24-year-old. Despite being a fresh face, he’s an oddly familiar one too.
There are a host of reasons to get to know AccessHollywood.com’s newest Rising Star and none of them have to do with his Golden Globe-winning older brother and “Acting With James Franco” “Funny Or Die” skit co-star, James Franco.

| TV Ratings Tuesday |
[Wednesday the 9th, 11.59AM] |
The season finale of The Biggest Loser crushed the competition early, and The Jay Leno Show had its biggest night in months (2.9 adults 18-49 rating), as NBC won Tuesday easily.
ABC’s Charlie Brown Christmas special’s 3.7 adults 18-49 rating was the same as its telecast last year, and ABC has to be pleased with the 4.1 rating for its new Disney’s Prep & Landing. Scrubs rose 15% from last week to a 2.3 rating. Better Off Ted was down 12% from its last new episode in April. One interesting observation, this weeks repeat of the forgotten did better than last week’s new episode.
The Biggest Loser finale was up 9% from its fall 2008 finale (up 6% from its spring 2009 finale) to an overall 5.0 adults 18-49 rating. The Jay Leno Show’s half hour blocks were a 3.2 rating and a 2.6 rating. Even that last half hour is above his best rating in months.
In Late-Night Local People Meters Tuesday night:
Conan O’Brien (1.0 rating/4 share in 18-49 in local people meters) tied CBS’s Late Show (1.0/4) in Nielsen’s 24 local markets with People Meters.
At 12:35 a.m., Jimmy Fallon (0.6/4 in 18-49 in local people meters) tied CBS’s original Late Late Show (0.6/4).

True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard arrives at InStyle’s special Golden Globes party held at Nobu Los Angeles on Tuesday (December 8) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The 33-year-old Swedish actor shared why he initially decided to join True Blood. Alex explained to Dark Mag, “It’s the fact that Alan Ball was attached to the project. When they first contacted me to tell me that they were doing a new series on vampires, I really wondered what it might look like. I even thought it was a joke! Then they told me that Alan Ball, who wrote and produced American Beauty and the HBO series Six Feet Under, was involved.”

| Kings' Sebastian Stan joining "Black Swan" film |
[Wednesday the 9th, 11.48AM] |
The film [Black Swan], directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring [Natalie] Portman, has just gotten itself a new cast member today!
According to Variety Sebastian Stan ("Spread" ) has joined the cast of the film... He'll be joining the previously announced Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey.
The film centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it's unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.
Black Swan, whose script has been compared to The Others, could begin shooting as early as this year

I miss Kings. :(
