SAG Awards Shockers & Snubs

The SAG Awards nominations have been announced and as always there are some shockers and snubs to go along with the nods list:

SNUBS:

- Ryan Gosling received no love for his amazing work in Drive and The Ides of March.

- Missing in action with no nods: Steven Spielberg War Horse, the last of the Harry Potter films,

- TV actresses deserving of a nod but not mentioned: Amy Poehler ("Parks and Recreation"), Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl"), Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly)and Christina Applegate ("Up All Night")

- TV actors left out in the cold: Ed O'Neill and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"), Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother").

- Homeland has been one of the critical highlights of the season, but the show and its performers (Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin) were left out of the nominations all together.

SHOCKER:

A shocker but justifiable, Bridesmaids gets a nod for Best Cast Ensemble in a Motion Film. The cast was totally hilarious.

A shocker in the drama category was the nomination of Patrick J. Adams in USA's "Suits." Lewis beat out performers, such as Hugh Laurie ("House") and Kelsey Grammer ("Boss").

New Year's Eve Tops Worst Box Office Weekend

New Year's Eve movie tops worst box office weekend in three years. Gary Marshall's romantic comedy filled with one A-list star after another topped the box office this past weekend with a disappointing $13.7 million.

Not enough star power? Not the case at all with the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Biel, Zac Efron, Lea Michele and many others. I feel movie-goers were focusing on Holiday shopping while watching how much they spent.

Variety reports that, overall, it was the worst weekend at the domestic box office in three years.

New Year's Eve the sequel or add on to the Holiday themed movie plots by Gary Marshall, did not do as well as 2010 Valentine's Day which debuted at the box office with $56 million.

Another movie that debuted this weekend to luke warm numbers: Jonah Hill's comedy The Sitter, at number two, earned $10 million in its first weekend.

Landing in third place was Breaking Dawn Part 1 in its third week out -- with an overall gross now just below $260 million.

Men In Black 3 Movie Trailer Premiere

Men In Black III movie trailer premiered and from the looks of things its even more thrilling and adventurous than before. Will Smith (Agent J) ends up going back in time to find the answers to what happened to Tommy Lee Jones (Agent K).

CANCELED: Joy Behr Show, Nate Berkus Show & Downsized

The following show have been canceled: HLN's Joy Behr Show, ABC's Nate Berkus Show and WeTv's Downsized.

- After two years, the Joy Behr Show will be signing off at the end of the year. HLN has decided not to renew the View co-host's solo show, which has been a major part of HLN this year. The final episode of The Joy Behar Show will air in December.

- Oprah Winfrey's protege's TV show has been canceled. Just after 2 season's, The Nate Berkus Show has been canceled and will air its last show in May.

"Berkus" is averaging a 1.1 household rating this season, according to Nielsen, up slightly from a 1.0 in its first season but third-worst among all talk shows, behind only new programs "Dr. Drew Lifechangers" and "The Jeremy Kyle Show."

"Berkus" becomes the first production from Winfrey's Harpo Studios to flop. Previous Winfrey spinoffs including "Dr. Phil" and "Dr. Oz" were hugely popular from the moment they debuted."

- WeTv has decided to cancel the reality show Downsized. No word yet as to the reason why the show was canceled, but the family posted this message about the cancellation and fan comments:

"We are at peace with WEtv's decision to discontinue Downsized. On the other hand, we have received many emails and posts from viewers wanting us to keep it going. As long as their is a need, we feel like we can continue to relate and help people in similar circumstances by sharing our story. Not sure if signing this will do any good but what the heck.., let's give it a shot! (smile)" click here to sign

Alec Baldwin Says I'm Sorry to Himself on SNL

On SNL, actor Alec Baldwin dressed up as an American Airline pilot and apologized to himself for being kicked off a plane last week. Baldwin has managed to keep the feud going with American because in this spoof he says he deserves an apology.

Recap: Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight Tuesday at Los Angeles International Airport after a dispute with the airline crew. In a blog post last week, he blamed the incident -- which became national news -- partly on post-9/11 security measures.

"One of the big changes, in my time, is in the increase of the post-9/11, paramilitary bearing of much of the air travel business," he wrote in the blog post. "September 11th was a horrific day in the airline industry, yet in the wake of that event, I believe carriers and airports have used that as an excuse to make the air travel experience as inelegant as possible."

America's Next Top Model All-Stars Finale Shocker

Last night on America's Next Top Model All-Stars finale it ended with a shocker. Model Angelea was disqualified at the last minute for unknown reasons.

Here's what happened:

The finale episode included the usual finale stuff - a Covergirl Photo-shoot/commercial and then glamorous runway face-off in Greece. But when it was time to announce the winner, the show was back in L.A. and Nigel revealed the shocking news about the show Producers learning some unsettling news about Angelea which made her ineligible to compete. Right after Lisa D'Amato was crowned the winner. (Reports say the show's ending had to be re-taped because of this shocker)

Angelea the 716 model was the under dog and I was truly hoping she would be crowned. Different media sources and bloggers believe Angelina was crowned and later was de-crowned after the top secret news was learned and then she was disqualified. Also some are saying she was disqualified because she revealed on Facebook she was the winner before the show aired but no one really knows.

"After production wrapped on the current cycle of America's Next Top Model, we learned information that made Angelea ineligible and she was subsequently disqualified from the competition," the CW said in a vague statement. "As a result, new scenes were filmed to address this for the audience during the finale."

Kim Kardashian Tweets Public Apology to Khloe After Episode Airs

Kim Kardashian decides to tweet her sister Khloe a public apology for all the mean things she yelled and texted on Sunday's episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

Kim tweets: "I'm sorry, KoKo! You know I love you soooo much!

Recap: Khloe and Kourtney were leaving out to drive up to the Hamptons with baby Mason to visit Scott's parents. Khloe goes into Kim's bedroom and says bye to a sleeping Kim. Kim goes off about how rude Khloe was waking her up when she had planned to sleep in an hour late.

"It's so rude to like literally wake me up when I have an alarm set," says angry Kim.

"Khloe barged in here and woke me the f**k up," Kim vented to Kourtney, who had the call on speaker phone while Khloe was in the car. "We've been working 18 hours a day... You know that I need to sleep. I've been falling asleep at everything that we f**king do."

"Honestly, there's bigger things to complain about," said Khloe.

Kourtney just did not want to deal with the drama: "I can't even argue," she said, hanging up the phone. "It's pointless. What are we talking about? This is so stupid... I think [Kim's] just pissed because she's married to a barking dog."

This is when Kim showed her alter ego of which many fans call a spoiled brat texted her younger sister and called her a "dumb little evil ugly f&#$&ing troll".

Tyler Perry's House of Payne TV Show Writers Get Pay Raise

Tyler Perry's writers for his hit TV show House of Payne get a pay raise. According to Deadline TV, 7 staff writers on the TBS comedy series Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne will get more money.

Deadline Reports: The Writers Guild of America, East has negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement with the series’ producer Tyler Perry Studios. The new contract, a side letter to the Minimum Basic Agreement covering the major studios and networks, increases weekly minimum weekly salaries by 15% and the minimum payments writers receive for scripts by 20%. Because residuals are based on script minimums, residuals payments will also increase 20%.

The new minimums increase by the Mba formula (2%) in May 2012 and May 2013, as well. The new agreement was reached under circumstances far less dramatic than those preceding the first deal between Perry and WGA in 2008, which followed more than five months of negotiations and protests by some writers who claimed that they were terminated by Perry over their unionization efforts.
