Comedian, Amy Poehler, known for her role in the movies “Mean Girls” and “Baby Momma”, will be returning to the popular comedy show “Saturday Night Live”, in the upcoming season of the show. The first episode will be aired on September 25 where Katy Perry will also be performing as a musical guest. Poehler had been nominated twice for the Primetime Emmy award and had starred in the show “Parks and Recreation” on NBC. She was also one of SNL’s regulars from 2004 – 2008 where she also became known as Hillary Clinton’ best impersonator. Poehler is among the very few who has been promoted in SNL from a guest performer to a regular after only one season. On September 16, 2008, the actress decided to take a break from acting after giving birth to her child. Poehler will be hosting SNL together with Bryan Cranston from the series “Breaking Bad” and the Jane Lynch, the Emmy award winning actress from the T.V. musical series “Glee”. Four more comedians will be joining this season’s SNL, namely Vanessa Bayer, Paul Brittain, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah.

The movie that portrays Joaquin Phoenix’s transition from a successful actor to a bum-looking rapper left viewers confused. “I’m Still Here” was directed by Phoenix’s brother-in-law Casey Affleck and is now being featured at the Venice Film Festival. Last year, Phoenix, who became popular in movies such as “Gladiator”, “To Die For” and “Two Lovers, decided to quit acting and pursue a career in hiphop. Fans were left in disbelief and Phoenix’s decision became the talk of the town for months. This controversial turn of events got more incomprehensible after the actor’s interview and performance at the David Letterman show last year. He seemed not himself and acted like a weirdo with long hair, black glasses and a long beard. Many believe that his awkward behavior during the show was all part of an act. The same goes with the documentary. Some critics say that the movie seems to be more of a “mockumentary” which is directed to the public and its narrow-mindedness by not accepting the actor’s decision rather than a real account of the actor’s life. When asked if the documentary is a hoax, director Affleck denied the accusations. He said that everything in the film is genuine but he admits that it is very likely for the public to be left confused.

The ... Today, Monday, a judge in the Bahamas officially closed the case against two people who allegedly tried to extort money from John Travolta. The actor traveled to the Bahamas in early January 2009 to spend some time with his wife and son, Jett. During the vacation, Jett who was suffering from a seizure disorder had an episode of seizures. Travolta insisted on bringing his son to a Florida hospital and was asked to sign a document releasing the driver of the ambulance from any kind of liability. However, due to Jett’s deteriorating condition, his parents decided to rush him to the nearest local hospital instead and the release statement became irrelevant. The accused, Bahamian Senate member, Pleasant Bridgewater and ambulance driver, Tarino Lightbourne allegedly threatened to publicize the mentioned document. According to reports, Bridgewater and Lightbourne tried to demand $ 25 million from Travolta if the actor intends to keep the document away from the public. Last year, a judge pronounced a mistrial because someone from the jury leaked the result of the deliberation and the press knew about the verdict even before it was officially announced in court. Reports say that Lightbourne will not raise any objections to the dismissal of the case but a not guilty verdict is what he was actually hoping for.

Morton who is 29, heir of Hard Rock Café and founder of Pink Taco, had been together with Lindsay Lohan. Aniston says that she is not settling with “Lindsay’s leftovers” and has denied the rumors several times. Other reports say that Aniston has often been seen with 42-year old Christopher Gartin. There were reports that the couple was seen dining at the Sunset Tower Hotel and appeared to have been flirting with each other the entire time. According to eyewitnesses, Aniston seemed nervous and fidgety during the entire meal, giggling and playing with her hair while talking to Gartin. According to other witnesses, “She was all cozied up to him and they were talking closely and laughing.” After dinner, they were spotted by some paparazzi leaving in a chauffeured car, covering their faces from the cameras. Aniston’s friends David Arquette and Courtney Fox are said to be close to Gartin. There are reports that Aniston’s relationship with Gartin started earlier this summer but as of this date, Gartin’s representative has refused to make any comment on the alleged relationship of Gartin to Aniston.

Despite of the still below average box office sales compared to previous years, “The American” was said to have already grossed $ 13 million since Friday, September 3. It has exceeded critics’ expectations who said that ticket sales for this movie will be rather weak. In “The American”, Clooney plays an assassin in a small but scenic Italian town. It was directed by Anton Corbijn, who is also a known photographer. Focus Features, a unit under NBC Universal, released the movie. Other Labor Day movies include the “Machete” which ended up being No. 3 at the box office with ticket sales of $ 11.3 million. “Going the Distance” currently holds the No. 5 spot with $ 6.9 million. Both of them premiered on Friday. “Takers” was overtaken by “The American” and is now holding on to the No. 2 spot. All in all, ticket sales from this year’s Labor Day weekend have been lower compared to last year. The projected increase of sales is due to higher ticket prices and not based on the number of tickets actually sold. Statistics show that the number of tickets sold this year hit its lowest mark since 1997.

At ... Today, Saturday, Kanye West, publicly apologized on Tweeter and told his followers how sorry he is for what he did to Taylor Swift. At the MTV’s Video Music Awards last year, West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech and announced that Beyonce should have won the award. In one of his tweets today, West even thanked Biz Stone, the creator of Twitter and Evan Williams, the CEO, for providing a platform to express his apologies. He further wrote “When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE…I take responsibility for my actions.” West also tweeted that he personally wrote a song for Swift. He told his followers that he is even willing to perform it for the singer in case she doesn’t want to sing it herself. He was said to have tweeted for a period of two hours, rambling about diverse topics but always ending his tweets with “I’m sorry, Taylor.” People say that considering the upcoming annual MTV Awards night, this public showing of apology from West might all be a part of a marketing stint. Also, Chelsea Handler, the host of this year’s awards night has plans of inviting both West and Swift to the show to be “reunited”.

Two years ago, American Idol added a fourth judge in their panel – Kara DioGuardi, a singer and songwriter who is known to have written songs for music icons. When Paula Abdul exited the show last year, people became even more defiant to the song writer, claiming that she was trying too hard to play Paula’s role. She was seen to be flirting with Simon Cowell, another judge of the show, in multiple incidents of the show. Last night, Friday, DioGuardi announced that she is not returning to the Idol stage as a judge. This does not come as a surprise since Idol fans have long expressed their disapproval of the songwriter. Critics say that she is the reason why many talented singers were eliminated and the less talented but marketable ones remained. On the other hand, many people claim that she is the only judge in the panel who gave true constructive criticism. They say that DioGuardi, in contrary to the other judges, actually seemed knowledgeable of musicality. She was also said to have inspired a lot of candidates on and off the camera. Whoever will be the members of this season’s most watched reality show on T.V. remains to be seen. FOX has not made any final announcements on this regard as of today.

They claimed that the actress did not turn to check both directions and ran into the nanny who was pushing the stroller. Allegedly, there was a toddler inside the stroller and witnesses claimed that he started to cry after the stroller got hit. Lohan was said to have stopped for two seconds but then drove away eventually. Witnesses said that the woman seemed shocked but did not appear to be hurt. According to two other witnesses, Lohan did not even bother to check on the toddler, instead she drove past both the nanny and the child. Lohan’s side denies that this incident ever happened and the police said that as of today, there has been no report of the accident. This is not the first traffic incident where Lohan has been allegedly involved in. It has been confirmed that Lohan was stopped by the police a few days ago because she did not stop at a stop sign. However, the police let her go with a warning because she claimed that it was the paparazzi who made her drive past the sign without stopping.

Critics consider it as “modern romance” and compared it to “American Pie” and “There’s Something About Mary”. “Going the Distance” is starred by Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, who according to critics, was the perfect match because of their chemistry in real life. They say that they are “a modern-day Hepburn and Grant”. To the surprise of many, the script was written by a guy and a newcomer in the scriptwriting business. Critics say that the dialogue somehow shows that it was written by a man but despite of this, he was able to bring in some gentle moments as well. They say that “there's a tenderness that softens even the crudest moments.” The movie is about a couple who met in New York, a day after Garrett (Justin Long) broke up with his girlfriend and right before Erin (Drew Barrymore) was about to leave for the West Coast. At the airport, they declared that they are madly in love with each other. However, due to financial constraints, neither one of them could afford to visit often so to make the relationship work, they promised to text each other every five minutes, have late-night Skyping and phone sex. Critics say that although the plot is still on the old-fashioned side, the jokes and the uncensored conversation about sex are the things that make this movie contemporary.

ABC announced today the list of the professional dancers for the upcoming eleventh season of the popular reality T.V. show, Dancing with the Stars. For the first time after ten seasons, all professional partners will be returning dancers. They include Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Toni Dovolani, Chelsie Hightower, Kym Johnson, Corky Ballas, Mark Ballas, Derek Hough, Lacey Schwimmer, Karina Smirnoff, Louis van Amstel, Anna Trebunskaya and Cheryl Burke. After making the announcement last week that she will not join this year’s Dancing with the Stars, Edyta Sliwinska has not been mentioned by ABC as one of the professional dancers. Sliwinska said in an interview that she is planning to “move on, pursue other projects and finish school”. She also said that ABC failed to give her husband more exposure in the show which is one of the reasons of her unexpected exit from the show. Among the twelve celebrity contestants are Rick Fox, Jennifer Grey, Michael Bolton, Margaret Cho, David Hasselhoff, Kyle Massey, Brandy Norwood, Mike Sorrentino, Kurt Warner, Audrina Patridge, Florence Henderson and Bristol Palin. The first episode of the eleventh season will be aired on September 20 for which ABC allocated a two-hour time slot. Viennese waltz or cha cha would be the first routine that will be performed by the dancing pairs. The couple with the lowest score combined from the judges’ scores and the viewers’ votes will be eliminated. Reality Shows Ravayu Media no no
