Arthur
Russell Brand is an irresponsible charmer
who must choose between an arranged marriage or an
uncertain future with his true love. Arthur Bach has
always relied on two things to get by: his limitless
fortune and the good sense of lifelong nanny Hobson to
keep him out of trouble. Now he faces his biggest
challenge; choosing between an arranged marriage that
will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future
with the one thing money can't buy, Naomi, the only
woman he has ever loved. With Naomi's inspiration and
some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take
the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn
what it means to become a man.

battle of good versus evil.
The Buzz...
FOX's Sunday animation lineup looks like it will return intact next
season, thanks to the network's pickup of Bob's Burgers for a
second season.
It was bound to happen at some point with all the smushing going on at Jersey
Shore. The network's No. 1 rated reality show has popped out two spinoffs
for three of its stars. MTV announces it has greenlit two untitled new
shows spawned from the controversial show starring Nicole "Snooki"
Polizzi, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, and DJ Pauly
Delvecchio. "We're excited to put the spotlight on their lives away from the
shore as they pursue their individual passions, careers and relationships," says
MTV's programming EVP, Chris Linn. "Both series are fun, fresh ways for us to
evolve what is an already successful brand for us."
For the first time in Bravo history, a member of its flagship reality
franchise has received the axe: The Real Housewives of Washington D.C.
has been canceled after one season. That still leaves more than enough
Housewives to go around: There’s Orange County, New York,
Atlanta, Beverly Hills, Miami and, of course, New
Jersey. Though D.C. had decent ratings, executives found the cast a bit
stiff compared to the menopausal rage that spiced up some of the other shows in
the franchise; particularly fellow newcomer Beverly Hills, which doubled D.C.’s
ratings in its finale.
In these tight economic times, saving a few bucks here and there is apparently
quite the popular topic among television viewers. The debut of Tlc's new
reality offering Extreme Couponing scored big in the ratings. The
new series averaged 2.3 million viewers over back to back episodes from 9 p.m.
to 10 p.m., driving it to the top ranking in ad-supported cable among all key
demos.
The iconic genie bottle featured in the 1960s hit sitcom I Dream Of Jeannie
is set to be featured at the Smithsonian museum. On the classic U.S. show, a
magical genie, played by Barbara Eden, appears when the bottle is
rubbed and is able to grant her master wishes with the blink of an eye. Eden
still owns the original set piece made famous by the show and has decided to
donate it to collectors at the Smithsonian Institution.
This week Duff McKagan dropped a bombshell when he confirmed that
Slipknot and Stone Sours Corey Taylor has in
fact been in the studio with Velvet Revolver: “We recorded a bunch
of songs with Corey. I think he’s f**king great. Whether he’s in Velvet Revolver
or not…’cause I’m at a point where I can see things with a bigger view, you
know, it’s not all about me… I think he’s the best voice of a new generation.
The best rock ‘n’ roll voice out there. He’s got a lot of positive energy. I’d
be proud to do anything with him."
The best music video of the year (as I believe it should be referred to) has
released a teaser trailer to get fans ready for the big premiere. Back in
January we told you that the Beastie Boys were planning on
remaking the iconic Fight For Your Right (To Party) video with
half of Hollywood. Today we get to see about a quarter of the cast as they
portray the past and future Beastie Boys. Seth Rogen, Elijah
Wood and Danny McBride make up the future Beastie Boys
team, while Will Ferrel, Jack Black and John C.
Reilly make up the oldies. Will Arnett, Stanley
Tucci and Susan Sarandon, Ted Danson and
Rainn Wilson are also seen in the trailer.
It’s no secret Kanye West likes himself a good scarf. Whenever
he’s in the front row of [insert city] Fashion Week, Yeezy is not to be seen
without something around his neck. Being such a connoisseur, Kanye has designed
a limited line of scarves inspired by the album covers of his 2010 album, My
Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Collaborating with Mathias
Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag, designers at exclusive
Parisian firm M/M, the five scarves will incorporate the different covers that
came with the album.
The New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys supergroup
have released their first track together and I have to say, it’s pretty good.
Don’t Turn Out The Lights features vocals from nine of the original members
(BSB’s Kevin Richardson is the only member of either group who
declined involvement in the project). The band is hitting the road this summer
on tour together for first time across North America, including 10 Canadian
dates.
