Another key member of the Las Vegas investigative team is stepping out from behind the yellow tape.

Neither Brittany Snow nor Aml Ameen will be a part of the second season of Harry’s Law. Snow and Ameen have parted was with show in what an insider describes as a “mutual decision” with producers. Both actors have been invited to return as guest stars. The NBC legal dramedy from David E.

Hot off the success of Bridesmaids, Universal is set to renew its vows with the team of Judd Apatow and Paul Feig. The studio has bought a comedy pitch from the duo, whose partnership goes back to co-creating the cult TV series Freaks and Geeks.

Protesters were arrested near the El Segundo, Calif., offices of Mattel Inc. after they unfurled a massive banner from the toy maker's 15 story headquarters. The banner featured an image of Ken (Barbie's longtime boyfriend) and the words, "Barbie: it's over. I don't date girls that are into deforestation." Greenpeace is protesting Mattel's use of packaging purportedly made from wood taken from Indonesian rainforests. "Barbie's dirty secret is that her packaging is made from the rain forests of Indonesia," Rolf Skar, senior forest campaigner for Greenpeace USA, tells the LA Times. "Mattel has shown no due diligence. It buys paper without asking where it's coming from."

Kevin Smith made his name with realistic banter between comics lovers in Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. Now he’s angling to capture the real thing. The indie moviemaker put out a casting call for comics geeks to show up last week at his The Secret Stash shop in Red Bank, N.J., with plans for a three day shoot starting June 14. “He’s not looking for actors, he’s looking for real people who live and breathe the comic book lifestyle. Must be funny outgoing and have a knowledge and passion for comics, superheroes, movie memorabilia and everything that goes with it,” read the recruitment post on Facebook.

Reality royalty Kim Kardashian is at the center of a firestorm cooked up by InTouch Weekly. The magazine claims that Kardashian carried on a six month phone/text affair with New England Patriot Bret Lockett while she was dating fiance Kris Humphries. But, according to Kardashian's representatives, the story is "damaging, defamatory, and an invasion of her privacy" and, we're led to believe, untrue. A rep for Kardashian says that Kardashian never "met or spoke" with Lockett. Which is an interesting turn of phrase since it doesn't rule out text based conversations.
