It was the opening day of the Disney-mgm studios in Orlando. The stars were there with their children. There was an official luncheon at the Brown Derby, modeled after the legendary Hollywood eatery. I was beside myself. I was in a booth sitting next to Jack Brickhouse, the voice of the Chicago Cubs. A man walked over and introduced himself. "Bob Elliott." Oh. My. God. Bob, of Bob and Ray.
For me he was the biggest star in the room. Who, after all, compared to even one half of Bob and Ray, was Tom Hanks? Whoopi Goldberg? Art Linkletter? "Gosh all whillikers, Mr. Science!" I said, "What's that long brown object???" Bob didn't miss a beat: "That's known as a board, Roger."
Another man was steaming toward us through the throng. A middle-aged man, well-dressed, tanned, with a pleasant smile. "Hi, Jack!" he said. "Say, I hear Ernie Banks is invited. »

Tiffani Thiessen: Ever since I read the script, which has been a little over a year ago now, I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the characters.

Welcome to the Pop Culture Club, where every week we watch an “assignment” and then report back to discuss it. This week it was the new USA crime show White Collar, otherwise known as Catch Me if You Can for 48 Hrs. The concept: Dogged FBI agent Peter Burke releases his prize arrest – supersuave supercriminal Neil Caffrey – from jail to help the Fed track down other criminals. And here’s where things zig when you think they're gonna zag: These guys are really different! Caffrey was played by Matt Bomer, who looks like a male model version of Tom Everett Scott, »

Saved By the Bell alum Tiffani Thiessen co-stars in USA's latest crime series, which cribs Catch Me If You Can's story line. Matthew Bomer stars as an expert counterfeiter (and Thiessen's on-camera husband) hired by the FBI to track down con artists. The Today Show video circulating after this morning's host Jenna Wolf mispronounced Matt Bomer's last name, will only boost ratings. »

There are a lot of dark, twisted cop shows on TV; think of Criminal Minds, Law & Order: Svu, CSI. White Collar (premieres Friday, 10/9c, USA) is trying something different: a traditional crime drama spliced with a buddy comedy.
Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) is a career white-collar criminal who makes a deal with FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay), the man who put him in prison. In exchange for Caffrey's (ankle bracelet-monitored) freedom, he'll help Burke catch the bad guys. It's a premise we've seen before — the Tom Hanks-Leonardo DiCaprio film Catch Me If You Can comes to mind — but White Collar's take is more timeless and, yes, funnier.

Creator/executive producer Jeff Eastin is certainly a fan of edgy crime dramas. "The Shield is possibly my all-time favorite show, and they really did the dark, contemporary cop show to perfection, »

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant
Directed by: Paul Weitz
Cast: Chris Massoglia, John C. Reilly, Josh Hutcherson, Michael Cerveris, Ken Watanabe, Salma Hayek
Running Time: 1 hr 48 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: October 23, 2009
Plot: A teenager (Massoglia) stumbles upon a freak show and meets a wide variety of unusual characters. He must decide if he wants to change his normal life and become a vampire’s assistant for Crepsley (Reilly) in order to save a friend.
Who’S It For? Need your vampire fix before The Twilight Saga: New Moon? This should do the trick. Heck, if you check out the movie posters, they even try to get Massoglia looking a little like Robert Pattinson.
Expectations: Reilly is great. I’ll happily sit through anything the man attempts. One of my favorite moments was getting to see him perform at a small Chicago bar while he was in character as Dewey Cocks. »

Thanks to the success of “Twilight” it looks like we are going to get a couple of adaptations of other successful book series which are aimed at the young-adult crowd. Most of these will be pitched as “It’s like Twilight meets…” and the latest book series that is on its way to the big screen, “Wicked”, is being sold as that. The project is being described as “‘Twilight’ meets ‘Wanted’ with witchcraft” and will probably become a franchise at DreamWorks. Also, Steven Spielberg might jump in on this book series craze by maybe directing an adaptation of “The 39 Clues”. You can get all the details after the jump.
Writing partners/brothers Aaron and Matthew Benay (Brad Bird’s upcoming “1906″) have sold their pitch for “Wicked” to DreamWorks. The book series written by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié tell the story of Holly Cathers, who moves in with an »

This week at the Pop Culture Club the plan was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Or was it? In my endless masochistic desire to get us to objectively rejudge our nostalgic favorites (Vacation? Yes. Meatballs? No), I wanted to see whether the Python TV series still held up. After all, comedy has had 40 years of evolution since we first heard the word "It's..."; putting aside how ingenious you might have found the show when you first discovered it, you have to concede the possibility that it could all seem very slow, flat, or dated by now. »

Bryan wrote a thorough and positive review of USA Network's new series White Collar, which will be premiering this Friday, October 23rd at 10:00 p.m. Est. Jon noted that the show was "like a cross between the first Lethal Weapon movie and Catch Me If You Can, which is to say that its a caper-type, solve-the-crime, buddy series where the characters form an unlikely partnership". From the official description below, it sounds similar to Catch Me If You Can. Although, that's not a bad thing, because Catch Me If You Can was a great movie.
White Collar is about the most unlikely of partnerships between a con artist and an FBI agent. The story unfolds after charming criminal mastermind Neal Caffrey (Bomer) is caught by his nemesis, G-Man extraordinaire Peter Burke (DeKay). After escaping from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Neal is nabbed by Peter once again. »

On November 10, 1969 in Everett, Massachucets a little girl was born to Kathleen and Joseph Popmeo. The proud parents named her Ellen Kathleen Pompeo; she is the youngest of six. Ellen’s mother passed away when Ellen was just four years-old of a painkiller overdose. Ellen’s father remarried shortly after and the family resided in Boston. Ellen was discovered working at SoHo Bar & Grill in New York City. Doing a couple of minor television roles helped Ellen to see she wanted to be a successful actress so she packed her things and moved to Los Angeles. In a meeting with Jake Gyllenhaal she expressed an interest in wanting to work with him and a few weeks later was cast in Moolight Mile playing Jake’s love interest. She also starred alongside Leonardo DeCaprio in Catch Me If You Can that year. In 2003, Ellen played Karen Page in Daredevil, with Ben Affleck, »

Variety is reporting that Chris Pine a.k.a the new Captain Kirk, and director D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) are in talks for the fact-based financial drama, The Art of Making Money. Paramount has put plans in place to fast-track the production for an early 2010 start having one of the leading men-of-the-moment and a successful action/thriller director attached will certainly boost the movie.
Paramount acquired The Art of Making Money based on a Rolling Stone article from 2005 by Jason Kersten, who himself turned it into a book called The Art of Making Money: The Story of a Master Counterfeiter, published last summer. The script is written by Frank Baldwin, and the film will be produced by Brian Robbins, Sharla Sumpter and Brad Weston. If the two officially sign onto the project, Caruso will, of course, direct and Pine will play, “Art Williams, the alias for a Chicago man »

White Collar will bring a new slate of characters to the USA Network family when the new series premieres on Friday, October 23 at 10 Pm Et on the USA Network. The new series was created by Jeff Eastin and the creator/executive producer recently held a conference call to discuss this new addition to the USA Network. Here's what he had to say.
Now that you have segued from writer to producer, how're you juggling everything that you're doing because that's quite a bit given that this is a new series.
Jeff Eastin: Yes, it's been a little insane. I've done it a couple times before, so it's not exactly a new experience. I gained some pretty valuable experience on the other shows that didn't survive, so I'm hoping that I can use that information to actually keep this one on the air.

James Tiberius Kirk already cheated his way to victory in the Kobayashi Maru test, and now he's putting his fast-thinking talents towards making money — well, his real life persona is, at least.
According to Variety, "Star Trek" actor Chris Pine is teaming up with "Eagle Eye" director D.J. Caruso for "The Art of Making Money," an adaptation of reporter Jason Kersten's fact-based novel "The Art of Making Money: The Story of a Master Counterfeiter." Frank Baldwin — no apparent relation to Alec, Daniel, William and Stephen — is writing the script.
The title refers not just to the creative component of moneymaking, but also to the story's central figure of Art Williams Jr., presumably played by Pine. The novel focuses on the real-life counterfeiter who conjured millions of dollars in false bills thanks to his amazing attention to artistic detail.
"While it was the world of counterfeiting that originally attracted me to Art's story, »
