New Award Proving Popular At VMAs

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- When Chicago-based rock act Rise Against began writing a song about suicide among gay teens, the bands lead singer tried to block out the event that inspired the tune the death of a gay friend. His loss was something big to me, said Tim McIlrath. But the band members wanted to get out the message, so they made a gripping video for Make It Stop (Septembers Children) featuring three teens bullied and at the brink of suicide. Now the video is competing in a new category at the MTV Video Music Awards: the best video with a message award. It highlights music videos sending messages of positivity and self-empowerment and raising awareness about social issues that affect todays youth. I hope that category sticks around and I hope it gives artists something to aim for, said McIlrath, who teamed with the It Gets Better Project for the music video. MTV President Stephen Friedman says the new category is proving popular among voters this year. I have to tell you in the voting, this category catapulted. It was among the top three or four categories millions and millions of people voted on this, Friedman said. It shows not only an interest from the artist, but also more importantly for the audience. Other nominees in the category include Lady Gagas Born This Way, Taylor Swifts Mean, Katy Perrys Firework, Pinks (Expletive) Perfect, and Eminem and Rihannas Love the Way You Lie. Friedman says he hopes this will be an ongoing category from here on out. McIlrath said he thought about writing Make It Stop when a gay fan told him she wasnt sure where the band stood on gay rights. McIlrath says the song and the MTV nomination is helping raise their profile. Were not a band who really aims for the VMAs, Ill be honest. Like, were not really a band that traffics on the Billboard chart and MTV and VMAs and that kind of thing, we never really relied on that, he said. When the video came out, CNN called me and Fox had me on, NBC had me on, like these little news blips, and Ive never even done that type of stuff before. Dave Meyers, the music video director of the Pink and Perry videos nominated in the new category, said making a video with a message can be difficult. Whats challenging for me is I dont want to seem like Im talking down to the audience that Im not preaching the message, that Im asking them to come on a ride that is not one-dimensional, he said. Sometimes I think message-y videos can be too message-y. Meyers, who has directed videos for Missy Elliott, Dave Matthews Band and Britney Spears, says taking home the moon man for the message award would be more gratifying than some of his other wins. After 15 years of nominations and countless wins, this actually has a lot of meaning to me, Meyers said. This is MTV saying, We as an organization think these videos deserve special acknowledgment versus a popularity contest, which is what a lot of the other categories tend to be. The Perry, Eminem and Lady Gaga videos nominated for best video with a message are also up for other awards. Perry leads the pack with 10 nominations at Sundays show, which will be held in Los Angeles. Copyright 2011 by Associated Press.

Hurricane Irene stymies B.O. forecasts

'The Help'While Disney's "The Help" looks to hold in the No. 1 spot, Hurricane Irene is making weekend box office predictions tough. Many East Coast theaters said they would shutter over the weekend, including Clearview Cinemas, which was planning to close its 18 Gotham, two Pennsylvania and 25 New Jersey locations Saturday and Sunday, according to an email to staff. The theater chain plans to reopen its locations Monday and has not yet announced plans to close any locations tonight. New York alone makes up 6% of the nation's box office market, and other theater chains are watching the weather closely to determine their plans. While AMC Theaters announced closings of two theaters in Virginia, a rep for the company told Variety that execs at the plex chain are closely monitoring the situation and are making closure decisions on a theater-by-theater basis. AMC plans to post all closings to its website at AMCtheaters.com/hurricaneirene. The hurricane's sweep through the East Coast has rendered the usual weekend B.O. scene unpredictable. B.O. observers said they remain confident on the top spot -- with "The Help" leading the frame -- but that the other berths are harder to call. The Weinstein Company's "Our Idiot Brother" and Sony's "Columbiana" look to be the closest pics, pulling ahead of FilmDistrict's "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Pre-hurricane, B.O. watchers had said that a film would have to pull in $15 million to be this frame's top-grosser. Because of the weather, however, that number is looking closer to $10 million-$11 million. Contact Rachel Abrams at Rachel.Abrams@variety.com

Pee-wee Herman Picks the Emmy Those who win

For Paul Reubens, the Emmys might be referred to as a means of coming full circle.The actor, most widely known as Pee-wee Herman, is taking pleasure in a banner year that saw his Cinemax special, "The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway," get an Emmy nomination for outstanding variety, music or comedy special. The nom was the very first for that beloved character since he was nominated for any Daytime Emmy in 1991 for outstanding artist inside a children's series for "Pee-wee's Playhouse."Now, Reubens and the alter ego prepare to manage-served by three Cinemax special offers from the kind of Rhianna (on her "The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden"), Bette Midler ("The Showgirl Must ContinueInch), Barbara Fisher ("Wishful Consuming") and "The Kennedy Center Honors" (featuring Paul McCartney and The famous host oprah Winfrey) from CBS."I am nominated for any show that's something which came from 3 decades ago," Reubens told "The Hollywood Reporter." "It has been an amazing experience and something I simply didn't imagine whatsoever."With Emmy ballots due Friday, Reubens summoned Pee-wee to determine who he thinks would collect the valued statuettes in the Emmys on Sept. 18, and when Emmy voters follow Pee-wee's thinking, you will see lots of ties.One of the better comedy challengers "30 Rock," "The Large Bang Theory," "Glee," "Work,Inch "Modern Family" and "Parks and Entertainment" -- Pee-wee is adhering with Tina Fey and company. "There is nothing more amusing than that -- although individuals are really, really funny shows," he states, picking both Fey and "Raising Hope's" Martha Plimpton for the best actress inside a comedy."I believe I'd do well on of individuals shows, why select one? I managed to get a tie and so i think I must guest star on of these,Inch he deadpanned.Among comedy's leading males, Pee-wee predictions a tie between Louis C.K. ("Louie") and Steve Carell, using the departing "Office" star getting the advantage.InchBasically needed to opt for a tie-breaker, I'd say this really is Steve Carell's year because he's departing he will get my sentimental election," Pee-wee states. "I really hope they include me this year however i think it's already what's his title James Spader. But maybe it will likely be like "Murphy Brown" where there is a new boss each week. I loved that gag!"About the drama side, Pee-wee remains somewhat faithful to Cinemax. "I am a corporate guy now, and so i think ["Boardwalk Empire's"] Steve Buscemi and ["House's"] Hugh Laurie it's another tie!" he giggled together with his trademark laugh. "Basically make everything a tie, I am boosting my likelihood of really dealing with guest star on a single of individuals shows!"Pee-wee already has his role written for HBO's period drama, too: "I'd be [Nucky Thompson's] mole!"One of the drama stars, Pee-wee is adopting football after lately going to the Dallas Cowboys' practice. "No tie: ["Friday Evening Lights'"] Connie Britton," he states, whilst picking the NBC/DirecTV series for the best drama."I am type of an Cinemax guy and that i just chosen against Cinemax!" he stated. "I really hope our next national political convention is those who are similarly inclined to visit against whatever and merely election for what's right!"For their own category, Pee-wee includes a plan just just in case Emmy voters find yourself having a tie between him and Rhianna, inspired by "Let us Create a Deal.""I believe the crowd should develop a listing of 5 products and when each one people has individuals products upon us, we win," he joked. "I simply hope that we are not really putting on exactly the same outfit." The Hollywood Reporter

On the 10th Anniversary of Her Death, Aaliyah's Very Short Movie Career Remembered

Ten years ago today, when the R&B singer Aaliyah — whose music videos were often just as cinematic as her acting ventures — died in a plane crash, she was a burgeoning film star with a couple of major flicks under her belt and plans to co-star in the Matrix sequels. Let’s take a quick look back at her filmography, reflect on her screen merits, and try to drown out the goth-rock soundtrack to Queen of the Damned. Romeo Must Die In this fluffy Jet Li fight caper (co-starring Isaiah Washington and Anthony Anderson!), Aaliyah played the cool Trish O’Day, who sounds like either a Bond vixen or a lesser member of Danity Kane. She tells Mr. Li to watch his back as he leaves her apartment building, but it’s no matter, because he just mangles everyone in sight. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a glock that resplendent. Queen of the Damned In this camp psuedo-classic, Aaliyah dons tricked-out slave-Leia apparel and hisses at adversaries. Surprisingly, this music-heavy movie features no Aaliyah contributions; instead we’re treated to Disturbed, Papa Roach, Marilyn Manson, and Limp Bizkit. The movie was released well after Aaliyah’s death, which might be a good thing, because I don’t think she was very down with the sickness. Matrix Reloaded Before she died, Aaliyah filmed a few scenes as Zee in the first Matrix sequel, with intentions of filming the second sequel The Matrix Revolutions too. Here, the film crew reflects on her death and shows us a glimpse of her work. For the hell of it, here’s Aaliyah’s replacement in The Matrix Reloaded, Nona Gaye, the one-time Prince paramour and daughter of Marvin Gaye. Can we picture the sultrier Aaliyah reciting these lines? And in case you miss the big-budget warehouse videos of the late ’90s, here’s Aaliyah’s hit clip from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack, “Try Again.” Remember when Ricky Martin mispronounced her name after she won Best Female Video at the VMAs?

How Your Magazine-Movie Sausage is Made

Magazine editors are increasingly looking to place their stories at studios — for what it’s worth: “‘Hollywood is essentially in the business of not making movies,’ said Henry Finder, editorial director of The New Yorker. ‘They only make a movie when they run out of reasons not to make it. [… B]ut if I’m trying to get talent attached it might be easier for me to say, “Hey look, Brad Pitt, there’s this really cool story that was in Vanity Fair or Rolling Stone” — it’s going to be based on that.’” Great! It beats Ouija. [WWD via The Awl]

Lawsuit Over Bret Michaels Concert Reveals His Food and Beverage Demands

Getty Bret Michaels is suing a tour cruise company and two promoters for allegedly breaching a contract where the rocker and reality TV star was going to get $750,000 to perform on a "Super Cruise." This isn't the first time that Michaels has allegedly been stiffed over a cancelled show. In fact, almost a year ago to this day, Michaels sued a promoter for a failed concert in Syracuse. He recently emerged partially victorious in that case. Michaels may hope that his newest lawsuit goes as well as the last one. Last August, the Poison singer sued Michael Banks and Aloha Events after showing up in Syracuse only to find his gig had been cancelled. After fans started besieging a local news outlet and the state's attorney general with news of the cancelled concert and demanding a refund, the promoter allegedly blamed the cancellation on Michaels himself, saying he had a conflicting TV appearance. Banks filed an answer to Michaels' complaint that disputed the existence of a contract and any comments to a TV station, but Aloha Events was a no-show. Today, New York federal judge David Hurd found that Aloha Events was in default as a result of "having failed to plead or otherwise defend in this action" and ordered the company to pay out $95,000. Michaels has now turned his attention to another alleged perpetrator of a "bait and switch" scheme, alleging in his latestcomplaint that defendants Shoreline Tours, Tim Towle and Willie Donwell never had any intention of paying his $750,000 fee and then tried to coerce him to reduce it to $400,000. The singer is now seeking at least $50,000 in damages. Not for nothing, but one of the fun things about these types of cases is getting a peek at all the things that rock stars demand when putting up a concert. Note to any concert promoter looking to book Bret MIchaels: Sprite is NOT a substitute for Mountain Dew. E-mail: eriqgardner@yahoo.com Twitter: @eriqgardner Bret Michaels

Summer's Comedy King Jason Bateman Really wants to Direct

La (AP) In "Horrible Bosses" and "The Modification-Up," which opens Friday, Jason Bateman plays a industrious guy who loves his job but yearns for something different.In tangible existence, Bateman is definitely an actor with 30 years of expertise who loved starring in 2 fun summer time comedies however , longs to direct.The 42-year-old stands to become the season's comedy king together with his two R-ranked movies being released only a couple of days apart. In "Horrible Bosses," he plays Nick Hendricks, a management candidate so annoyed by his twisted supervisor that killing him appears just like a wise decision. In "The Modification-Up," Bateman is Dork Lockwood, an attorney going to make partner who loves his wife and 2 kids but envies no-responsibility lifestyle of his closest friend, performed by Ryan Reynolds. One drunken evening, both pals discuss switching lives with one another, and subsequently day uncover that they've transformed physiques.Bateman spoken using the Connected Press about his large comedy summer time and deep need to direct.AP: What came you to definitely "The Modification-Up"? Jason Bateman: It is the R-ranked version from the body-switching movie. No a person's ever done that. And who easier to write that compared to men who authored 'The Hangover' and who easier to direct it compared to guy who did 'Wedding Crashers,' therefore it is really an exciting-star execution of the type of funny. From an acting perspective, it's every actor's dream to have the ability to play two sides from the gold coin, Jekyll and Hyde, or whoever else. Within this situation it's kind of the conservative guy towards the philanderer. And So I sent e-mails towards the studio, to (director) David Dobkin. I truly, really, really wanted this.AP: Was the knowledge all you wished it might be?Bateman: It had been a lot more than things i wanted so that it is... Fortunately, my instinct regarding how to take part in the character really matched up everybody's anticipation about how exactly the smoothness could be performed therefore it only agreed to be quite simple completely through, and also the finish outcome is something I am incredibly happy with. I am pretty confident that individuals are likely to really, enjoy this movie. They are getting all of the R-ranked laughs they are able to handle and most likely a couple of a lot more than they are confident with but it is couched in really an extremely real and touching domestic story this is a little unpredicted and surely increases the film. AP: Was it simply coincidence that you simply performed both of these overachiever-types this summer time? Bateman: Let us face the facts, individuals would be the parts that individuals think about me for good since 'Arrested Development,' because that's essentially the kind of character I performed there which was certainly work restart for me personally, a re-identification of who I'm and also the type of factor which i do, the type of humor which i do. So, naturally, individuals would be the type of roles which come my way. But the greater chances I recieve to experience figures like Mitch in 'The Change-Up' and when people like this character and also the movie is well received, maybe I'll get roles which are a bit more left of center, a bit more obtuse, and then any actor likes to mix it up. AP: You are writing, direct and act. That is your preferred and why? Bateman: Writing, that's super hard but is extremely satisfying whenever you finish. Acting I've found the easiest, most likely simply because I have been doing the work a very long time and it is very satisfying. But, really, pointing may be the job I'd most enjoy since it would let me exercise everything that I have learned all these years. It is simply ultimately much, a lot more challenging and I am in a devote my existence where I am just very wanting to challenge myself more. I am not feeling lazy or lethargic or that I wish to wind things lower. I am more ambitious than I have have you been and feel more excited to lead artistically than I ever have. Pointing is certainly the positioning you need to fill about the set if you would like to lead fully.AP: Have you got a pointing project approaching? Bateman: We are teasing having a couple of but it is a difficult factor to schedule. It's similar to attempting to schedule carrying out a play. You need to commit way to avoid it ahead of time which commitment is generally in regards to a 12-month commitment. I am a very, very lucky boy at this time that I am getting invites to sign up in projects being an actor from many people which i respect and admire greatly, therefore it is tough to select and also to stop time to complete the pointing, although there is nothing I'd rather do. So expect basically disappear for 12 several weeks and set off and direct something.AP: So what's next for you personally? Bateman: We are very close on a few things, however i can't say anything about them yet. Things turn to remain busy, thankfully, because I actually do like to work.Copyright 2011 Connected Press.

However the more chances I recieve to experience figures like Mitch in 'The Change-Up' and when people like this character and also the movie is well accepted, maybe I'll get roles which are a bit more left of center, a bit more obtuse, and then any actor likes to change things up. AP: You are writing, direct and act. That is your preferred and why? Bateman: Writing, that's super hard but is extremely satisfying whenever you finish. Acting I've found the easiest, most likely simply because I have been doing the work a very long time and it is very satisfying. But, really, pointing may be the job I'd most enjoy since it would let me exercise everything that I have learned each one of these years. It is simply ultimately much, a lot more challenging and I am in a devote my existence where I am just very wanting to challenge myself more. I am not feeling lazy or lethargic or that I wish to wind things lower. I am more ambitious than I have have you been and feel more excited to lead artistically than I ever have. Pointing is certainly the positioning you need to fill about the set if you wish to lead fully.AP: Have you got a pointing project approaching? Bateman: We are teasing having a couple of but it is a difficult factor to schedule. It's similar to attempting to schedule carrying out a play. You need to commit way to avoid it ahead of time which commitment is generally in regards to a 12-month commitment. I am a very, very lucky boy at this time that I am getting invites to sign up in projects being an actor from many people which i respect and admire greatly, therefore it is difficult to select and also to stop time to complete the pointing, although there is nothing I'd rather do. So expect basically disappear for 12 several weeks and set off and direct something.AP: So what's next for you personally? Bateman: We are very close on a few things, however i can't say anything about them yet. Things turn to remain busy, thankfully, because I actually do like to work.Copyright 2011 Connected Press.

Nobuyoshi Araki is Japan's most famous and notorious photographer. In a culture where complete female nudity is frowned upon even in men's magazines, Araki has been acclaimed and condemned for his photo books and exhibitions which usually focus upon women, usually nude and often in bold (and sometimes disturbing) poses. While he has been decried as a pornographer and a misogynist in his homeland, many others regard him as singular voice in the photographic arena, and many of the women who work with him have spoke of his sincere love and respect for them
