Obama seeks his "mojo" on daytime TV's "The View"
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama tried to revive his common touch on Thursday with a mainly light-hearted appearance on daytime television where five women hosts grilled him about his Blackberry, Lindsay Lohan and the Afghan war. His appearance was the first by a sitting U.S. president on a daytime talk show. It allowed Obama to appeal directly to a targeted audience as he fights flagging poll numbers while he and his fellow Democrats try to avoid big losses in the November congressional election.
Why Mel Gibson's lawyers haven't dropped him
LOS ANGELES - It's been nearly three weeks since Mel Gibson's leaked telephone rant cost him his agents at William Morris Endeavor. But at least for now, his showbiz lawyers are standing by their man. Tom Hansen, Gibson's longtime Hollywood attorney and the founding partner of Hansen Jacobson, one of the town's most prestigious talent boutiques, has so far stuck with Gibson in the wake of the enfolding scandal.
Gal pal of generous Viacom boss says she got nothing
LOS ANGELES - Viacom Inc executive chairman Sumner Redstone's news-making gifts to young women are proving irksome to his longtime lady friend, Christine Peters. Peters is well aware that her longtime production deal at Viacom-owned Paramount -- which ended last year -- was long perceived by many in the industry and even within Paramount as a favor that was done for her because of her close relationship to the boss, now 87.
Sofia Coppola, Aronofsky lead Venice film lineup
ROME - World premieres by directors Sofia Coppola and Darren Aronofsky as well as the hotly anticipated adaptation of cult novel "Barney's Version" will be among the highlights of this year's Venice film festival. Twenty-three movies, including a surprise title yet to be unveiled, will vie for the top Golden Lion award at the 67th edition of the world's oldest film festival, with Quentin Tarantino heading the jury that will pick the winner.
A Minute With: Director Phillip Noyce on "Salt"
NEW YORK - Australian director Phillip Noyce returned to directing Angelina Jolie in the new Russian spy action thriller "Salt," more than ten years after he worked with her in "The Bone Collector." The newest film, which was released in the United States last week and Russia this week, evokes old Cold war suspicions between the two countries. "Salt" received some good luck on the publicity front when just before its release 10 Russian spies based in the United States were arrested and swapped for four Russians suspected of working for the West.
French nuns in music deal get death threat-report
PARIS - Benedictine nuns from a secluded convent in southern France have received death threats after winning a deal aimed at creating a chart-topping album, a newspaper reported on Thursday. The nuns from the Abbaye de Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation near Avignon had their prayers answered last week after beating 70 other religious orders from North America and Africa to the deal with Universal Music.
"Hawaii Five-O" rides back to TV after 30 years
LOS ANGELES - Classic detective series "Hawaii Five-O" is riding a big wave back to television with new stars and grittier action, but with the same legendary theme tune and idyllic surf culture that made it a worldwide hit more than 35 years ago. The free-wheeling cop drama that put Hawaii on the international TV map in 1969, returns to CBS in September in what producers said on Wednesday was a re-imagining, rather than a remake or sequel, to the beloved original, and with more emphasis on character.
America Ferrera writes new chapter in acting career
LOS ANGELES - After four years playing an exuberant young office worker on TV comedy "Ugly Betty," actress America Ferrera is all grown up and taking a decidedly more serious turn in a movie she worked tirelessly to make. The actress, who won an Emmy and a Golden Globe award for her portrayal of the fashion-challenged, brace-wearing Betty, is starring in independent film drama "The Dry Land," which opens in major U.S. cities on Friday and was written and directed by her fiancee Ryan Piers Williams.
Low-tech Shatner eyes Twitter, says what the "$#*!"
LOS ANGELES - William Shatner confesses he has problems with the digital age. At 79 years old, he doesn't use Twitter and can't remember computer passwords. So what is the actor -- who started in television when it was aired exclusively live and became a pop culture hero in "Star Trek" 40 years ago -- doing in the first TV series dreamed up from a Twitter account?
"Jersey Shore" cast looks to bask in Miami sun
NEW YORK - With fist pumps and perfect tans, "Jersey Shore" returns to TV on Thursday for a new season of shows that has audiences wondering if the cast that put some reality back into reality TV is still really real after its brush with Hollywood stardom. For the new season, the cast of eight Italian-Americans holed up in a Seaside Heights, New Jersey home, including pugnacious Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 22, and gym rat Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, 29, have packed up and moved to Miami.
