An anonymous actress pushing 40 is suing IMDb for destroying her career playing much younger characters. This suit sheds light on a growing issue in Hollywood. While actors' unions are not joining the litigation, they have been pushing IMDb to take those delicate stats down. more ›

While many of you out there may have enjoyed illegal downloads of "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "The King’s Speech," "127 Hours" and "Rabbit Hole," the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) member who leaked the feature films to BitTorrent is facing the repercussions.

We're pretty pleased that we scored 7 out of 8 of our TV picks for yesterday's Screen Actors Guild Awards. The only TV win we missed was Betty White's for "Hot In Cleveland" which even she wasn't expecting. We love Betty White, we enjoyed interviewing her at last year's SAG Awards, but this award was a mistake and it doesn't reflect well on the organization. more ›

In another early-morning press conference ritual, a set of nominations were delivered this morning for another heavyweight awards season participant, this time the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which focus on the talented contributions of actors in film and television. more ›

One last video and some photos from the red carpet of the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild awards. We talked to: Katrina Bowden aka Cerie from NBC's "30 Rock," Thomas Jane aka Ray Drecker of HBO's "Hung," Kiernan Shipka aka Sally Draper from AMC's "Mad Men," James Remar aka Harry Morgan from Showtime's "Dexter," and Anthony John Denison aka Lt. Andy Flynn from TNT's "The Closer." more ›

Following up on photos posted earlier today, here's our interview with Leslie David Baker on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. more ›

A photographer can get jaded pretty fast on the red carpet. Hour after hour, a steady stream of beautiful people smile and pose while you elbow big hairy guys under the hot sun. Soon, any time you travel and meet people who ask, "You live in Los Angeles? Do you see a lot of movie stars?" you kind of want to punch them in the face. But just kind of. more ›

The cast of Fox's "Glee" came away as winners of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards a week after winning Best Musical or Comedy Television Series at the Golden Globes - the freshman comedy is riding a wave of popularity but can it sustain it? more ›

After our interviews with Scott Bakula, Lauren Velez, and the incredible Betty White last week, we made our way to the Shrine Auditorium early Saturday afternoon to see the which group of actors, nominated by their peers, would receive the honor of winning a Screen Actors Guild award. more ›

Betty White is the epitome of the sweet and savvy grandma everyone wishes they had - it was an amazing experience to speak with her. The 16th Annual SAG Awards are at 8pm tonight, on TNT and TBS, but you can watch the red carpet coverage starting at 3pm on E! If you get the East Coast feed on DirecTV or get HD programming you can watch the SAGs starting at 5pm, but if you don't you'll have to wait until the 8pm broadcast on vanilla cable. more ›

Tonight is the last episode of the Conan O'Brien version of "The Tonight Show" on NBC before it reverts back to the Jay Leno version. We predicted there would be problems with putting Leno on at 10pm as far back as December of 2008 but we never dreamed that NBC would make such a complete and utter screw up of things. How much more does Jeff Zucker have to screw up before the board cans his ass (and throw Dick "The Dick" Ebersol out while you're at it)? more ›

The red carpet is buzzing at the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which is taking place at the Shrine Auditiorium. The show will be broadcast on TNT/TBS at 8:00 p.m. tonight, which will be live for Angelenos who have satellite cable with east coast feeds, but the usual 3 hours late for the rest of us who live where the show is happening, and in the town that is basically the core of the entertainment industry, which, well, happens to be what these awards honor. more ›

Talk about drama. A marathon 30-hour meeting between Screen Actors Guild national board members landed the outcome of pretty much nothing. Doug Allen, SAG's chief negotiator and national executive director, was almost fired, but filibusters and a sleepy board did not have the votes to fire him or authorize a strike or do much of anything else. The best take comes from the Hollywood Reporter: "The emergency national board meeting began before 9 a.m. Monday and pushed on through the night into Tuesday afternoon, when the organizers had scheduled a hard-stop time of 1 p.m. Within an hour of the official end of the proceedings, exhausted-looking board members could be seen stumbling out to their cars." more ›

The Screen Actors Guild announced last night that they will put off having their members vote on a possible strike. Rather than send the ballots out on January 2nd, they have opted to wait until January 14th to mail them, cbs2.com is reporting. Many people in and out of the entertainment industry believe this is the wrong time for SAG to strike because of the obvious and immediate impact it will have on the many people who are employed in connection to television and film production. Further, the New York branch of SAG recently voiced their objection to the strike--a move SAG has been talking openly about for some time now, and particularly after negotiations with Hollywood studios failed. more ›

This morning at the Marriott Downtown, Los Angles Development and Economic Corporation (LADEC) financial uber-guru Jack Kyser will be presenting the 2008-09 LAEDC Forecast Results, a 71-page document entailing the region's financial future. Highlighting a recession watch, the crumbling housing market, and growth opportunities such as tourism, one loosely dubbed as "Its NOT business as usual!" talks strike and its ill-economic impacts upon the city. From the Hollywood Reporter:

The figure includes lost wages from TV shows that were canceled and films that were put on hold as well as a plethora of support services, ranging from limo drivers to florists. Kyser suggested that the cancellation of the Golden Globes resulted in a $60 million shortfall for the community. more ›

Torchwood is a guilty pleasure and its new season starts tonight on the BBCA. If you've ever been in a foreign land and seen a slightly dated American TV program come on and felt that queasy embarrassment then you know what watching Torchwood is like. It's cheesy and over-the-top science fiction with British accents and the odd dashing American thrown in. Everyone is hyper-sexed and they don't seem to discriminate between whichever sex they are attracted to at a particular moment and despite all the sexiness and the fact that it's a Euro import, I'm always a little dismayed at the lack of skin and even more dismayed at some of the gay-'80s hairdos. Still, it's well shot, good for a few laughs, and the way things are going with US licensing of UK shows, you'll be seeing it on one of the big four before you know it. more ›

With yesterday's revelation that all 72 actors nominated for the upcoming Golden Globes are expected to not attend the January 13th ceremony, the appeal of the telecast comes sharply into question. The decision was made by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) in order to show solidarity to their fellow strikers, and was announced by their union president Alan Rosenberg, who said: "After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters," (E! Online). more ›
