Airing tonight on THE CW, the much anticipated 100th episode of the cult hit series GOSSIP GIRL promises to answer some questions and open the door to all new issues as the story moves on to bigger problems for Manhattan’s privileged set. A royal wedding, the return of a brilliant villain and the destruction of love triangles that beget new love triangles are just a few of the things fans can expect. But, according to producer JOSH SAFRAN, nobody has come close to guessing the shocking ending of the episode.
Airing tomorrow night on Fox-TV, the long-awaited, highly-anticipated MICHAEL JACKSON tribute show that seems like it’s been in the works forever. Ten classic songs from the late “king of pop” backlist will serve to highlight the episode that features a face-off between Sebastian and Blaine as well as more suspense over Rachel’s acceptance of Finn’s marriage proposal.
As an integral member of the ensemble cast that got WOODY ALLEN’S delightful romantic bon-bon, MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, nominated for Screen Actor’s Guild Award attention, RACHEL McADAMS had hoped to be in attendance with co-stars at this evening’s televised ceremony. Alas, she’s on the road tub-thumping THE VOW, her upcoming tear-jerker about an amnesiac woman struggling to recover the memory of a man who loves her, and will be on the right coast while the awards ceremony is on the left.
Apparently moviegoers have a thing for wolves and the Arctic wilderness as The Grey, headlined by Liam Neeson, debuted at the #1 spot at the box office with $20 million. The Katherine Heigl comedy One for the Money had a decent opening weekend, as it came in at #3 and took in $11.8 million, with Underworld: Awakening finishing second ($12.5 million). Unfortunately, Man on a Ledge’s numbers were disappointing, as it placed #5 with $8.3 million. Here’s the top 10:
1. The Grey - $20 million
2. Underworld: Awakening - $12.5 million
3. One for the Money - $11.8 million
4. Red Tails - $10.4 million
5. Man on a Ledge - $8.3 million
6. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - $7.14 million
7. The Descendants - $6.55 million
8. Contraband - $6.5 million
9. Beauty and the Beast 3D - $5.34 million
10. Haywire - $4 million

After almost 20 years of reviewing (and enjoying) HBO programming, HBO gatekeeper Tobe Becker has deemed it fiscally irresponsible to further provide HOLLYWOOD OUTBREAK with advance review screeners. So, with that in mind, we wish the network the best of LUCK with its new DAVID MILCH show and hope that, despite the lukewarm reviews they’re getting, the new series is less JOHN FROM CINCINNATI and more DEADWOOD. Created by MILCH, the LUCK pilot was directed by MICHAEL MANN and stars DUSTIN HOFFMAN, NICK NOLTE, DENNIS FARINA, JOHN ORTIZ and RICHARD KIND. As with other MILCH projects, there were on-the-set stories that appeared during filming and, at the recent Television Critics Association press event to promote the show, MICHAEL MANN responded to questions regarding the rumor that he had MILCH banned from the set while the show was in production.

Although movie buffs who watch The Grey this weekend are primarily looking to see Liam Neeson take on a pack of wolves, the feature does contain a few themes to chew on. John Ottoway (Neeson) is a sharpshooter tasked with keeping animals away from attacking oil workers, but when their plane crashing in the Alaskan tundra, they find themselves at the mercy of Mother Nature.
Ottoway has experienced a deep sense of loss, and he eventually wonders if surviving out in the bleak and unforgiving cold is actually something worth fighting for. During the interviews for The Grey, Neeson, who described himself as a “spiritualist,” talked about the philosophical themes of the picture (he also mentions late writer/essayist Christopher Hitchens in the clip):

The Grey, co-starring Dermot Mulroney and Dallas Roberts, is now playing nationwide.
