| Dollhouse Posts a 57% Increase with DVR Viewings |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 4:49pm] |
I’m sure the fact that the October 23 episode of Dollhouse increased its adults 18-49 ratings 57% from Live+SD to Live+7 will be batted back and forth across the ‘net, but it still only reached a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating (compare that to the 1.1 Live+SD rating for a 2 hour a 1.2 preliminary Live+SD rating for the 9pm hour of a House repeat on 10/30, and the timeslot competition below). Dollhouse fans are on a viewing hiatus, courtesy of Fox wanting to do better on Fridays during the November sweeps, so there will be plenty of time for discussion before there are any more Dollhouse ratings to report.
By comparison, the other shows in the Friday 9pm timeslot that week (October 19-25) had the following Live+7 ratings: Medium (2.5), Ugly Betty (1.6), Dateline NBC (1.8), Smallville (1.4).
Edit: Note that these shows aired regular timeslot repeats that week: CSI, The Mentalist, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural.

| Emma Thompson's Name To Be Removed From Polanski Petition This Week! |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 5:39pm] |

 Emma Thompson was on The View today to talk about her admirable work fighting sex trafficking. Strangely, the ladies didn't ask her about another case of sexual exploitation—the one Roman Polanski perpetrated and Thompson initially appeared to endorse. Thompson, you see, disappointed many of her fans earlier this fall when she signed a petition — along with a host of other boldface names, including Salman Rushdie, Natalie Portman, and Diane Von Furstenburg — demanding that Polanski be freed on charges relating to his rape of a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Luckily, Caitlin Hayward-Tapp was nowhere near as abstemious as the View ladies: last week, the 19-year-old Exeter University student gutsily convinced Thompson to remove her name from the petition demanding Polanski's freeing. But as of this morning, Thompson's name was still on the petition, which is hosted on the website of French public intellectual Bernard Henri-Levy. After we contacted her a few hours ago, Ms. Thompson's publicist told us that her client "...requested that her name be removed when she said she would. We have asked for confirmation from them but have not yet received it." We also asked Mr. Henri-Levy's camp for an update, and Liliane Lazar, a former French professor who worked with him on the petition, responded, saying that Thompson's name will be removed Wednesday. As for why it would take several days to remove a line from a posting on a webpage, Ms. Lazar has yet to say.

To be honest I'm still disappointed that she signed it in the first place. However, I suppose it could have been easier just to keep her name on it. I checked the petition myself after seeing her on The View and her name has been removed. Hopefully this isn't the only one we see backtracking. I still love her though.

| Thom Yorke Takes on Nuclear Power |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 6:44pm] |
Thom Yorke is like most bloggers, jumping around from subject to subject. Before today, Yorke's most recent post on Radiohead's Dead Air Space site was a stoned Halloween playlist, which endorsed jams from the diverse likes of Buffalo Springfield, Blaqstarr, and Alvo Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Today, Yorke jumped on the site again to rail against the British government's push to build more nuclear power plants. Here's the complete text of the post, titled "Nuclear Power No Thanks":
under pressure from the CBI
and under the confused assumption that we can carry on consuming power as we do now into the future
and too afraid to think out of their own isolated political fuzzy cloud
the british government is commiting to build a new round of nuclear power stations
for which we dont have the money.
great.
just perfect.
well done fellas.
you've really thought about this haven't you?
Ah, that Yorkean sarcasm.
Yorke also includes links to anti-nuclear power sites from Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.

I love it when he's angry!

| Evangeline Lilly wants to adopt |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 7:12pm] |
Evangeline Lilly thinks people have to stop having babies to save the planet.
The actress - who is been dating her co-star Dominic Monaghan since they met on the set of 'Lost' in 2004 - believes people are procreating at an alarming rate and must slow down their baby-making or adopt to "protect" the Earth.
She said: "For a very long time, I have had intentions to adopt. We have a huge population problem on Earth. We're not going to protect the Earth the way we need to protect it if we don't stop making so many babies."
Despite her views on adoption, the 30-year-old beauty is desperate to experience the "gift" of pregnancy and will "allow" herself one baby of her own.
Evangeline - who plays fugitive Kate Austen in 'Lost' - said: "I have always wanted to have a child of my own and I will always want to go through the gift that women have been given to experience that, so I hope to be a mother at some point. I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt. It makes sense not to add to the population problem."

| Thurston Moore hates iPods; received an envelope with crushed dead flies |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 5:48pm] |
Thurston Moore: From Sonic Youth to Book Publisher
Thurston Moore may or may not be ecstatically peaceful, but he is certainly busy. In addition to running his own record label, Ecstatic Peace!, playing in the pioneering experimental noise rock band Sonic Youth, and collaborating on music with everyone from DJ Spooky to Lydia Lunch, he recently started his own book imprint, also called Ecstatic Peace.
The first book, photographer Justine Kurland’s “This Train Is Bound For Glory,” will be available in bookstores early next year. Sonic Youth is currently heading for Europe for some tour dates, then more in the U.S., and an extended European tour next summer. Moore will receive a lifetime achievement award from U.K. music magazine “Q” at the end of this month. The band even appeared on “Gossip Girls” last night.
Wall Street Journal: The book industry is facing falling sales figures and seems to be in decline. Why start a book imprint now?
Moore: Why not? I can never let something as incredible as a recession stop me. I feel more empowered now that a lot of people are throwing their hands up. You don’t start a record label or a book imprint to get rich.
( Moore: I use my iPhone as an iPod because I can, but I hate the way it sounds. The computer manically compresses sounds. )

| Heidi flaunts her birthing hips |
[Mon Nov 2009 at 6:27pm] |
( More hips and lips )
Meanwhile, continuing with her motto of “There’s nothing Lauren Conrad can do that I won’t copy and do tackier” Speidi is set to promote their latest endeavor –a book.
Earlier this year, Lauren topped the New York Times Bestseller list with her debut novel LA Candy. The book was a fictional account of a girl thrust into stardom when she is chosen for a reality TV show. It is currently being adapted into a movie by the producers of Twilight.
Not to be outdone. Heidi is set to take the literary world by storm with Compton Cookie, a fictionalized account of a girl who becomes the sidekick on a hit reality television show then proceeds to sabotage her best friend’s reputation with false rumors before marrying her douchebag boyfriend. The rights were bought by Ryan Seacrest and it is currently being adapted into a straight-to-tv movie for the Lifetime channel.

Edited to say: If you actually thought Compton Cookie was a real book then you may want to give up on life. Just sayin...
ONTD has really been off its game since getting kicked to the curb by Alex Skarsgard. Put down the bottle and pull yourselves together!

David Bowie. Cher. Bjork. Lady Gaga. Which one is not like the others?
The blond, bewigged, neck-braced lady of the hour, that’s who. Unlike the other musical acts on that list, she has yet to come up with a song to justify her over-the-top wardrobe and persona.

NSync - It's Gonna Be Me |
] |
It's always been tough to imagine Justin Timberlake fitting into a movie about the geeky origins of Facebook, even if he was slated to play hard-partying advisor and "founding president" Sean Parker. That mental struggle is over. Pacific Coast News has snapped a picture of Timberlake on the set of The Social Network, the Facebook flick also staring Jesse Eisenberg as co-founder and current CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Garfield as spurned co-founder Eduardo Saverin. We've put the shot, above, next to a Jan. 2009 Getty picture of real-life Sean Parker. Timberlake's got the the curly hair down; with some highlights and that wardrobe he might pass for the 'N Sync version of himself from the late 1990s.
