A couple months back, Jason Bateman appeared on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and not-so-subtly plugged the idea for a movie version of his sort of recently canceled show, Arrested Development. Like 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia, and all good things on TV right now, AD was a genius program that still managed to tank in the ratings despite a rabid cult following.
But while the rumor mill quickly churned all over the blogosphere (much of it Olbermann's fault, he's on top of the story like no other), Michael Cera broke everyone's heart by insinuating that he's done with playing George Michael, despite the fact that Cera owes his entire stardom to the awkwardness of that character. And even weirder, he keeps saying he knows nothing about any scripts in development, despite Jason Bateman's vocal promotions?
Whatever dude. We think that Cera made a huge mistake, and apparently so does the Internet Movie Database:
The lesson of this nine-minute excerpt from last night's Late Show? Don't cancel on David Letterman at the last minute with the a bald-faced lie. He will show a clip of your lying ass planted firmly in makeup chair several hundred miles away from where you said you'd be.

Over the weekend, Keith Olbermann did not name Brooke Hogan one of his worst persons in the world, but he did pop up on E!’s The Soup to guest host a segment and give Joel McHale a breather.
It's no big news that Keith Olbermann hates Bill O'Reilly, and vice versa, but the Washington Post today reports that the feud between the newsmen has gone from funny to scary, sparking some very real insidious scheming at O'Reilly's employer, Fox News.
If you've foolishly been watching Fox News in recent weeks, perhaps you've noticed that O'Reilly et al have been ramping up their attacks on General Electric, parent company of Olbermann's network, MSNBC. Veiled as outrage over GE's business dealings with Iran (and thus terrorists), Fox's finger wagging was culminated by O'Reilly declaring that if he had a kid killed in Iraq, he'd "blame the likes of [GE CEO] Jeffrey Immelt." Typical Fox fearmongering, right? Wrong, according to the Post, which claims that Fox's negative portrayals of GE are just the network's way of attempting to get MSNBC to rein in Olbermann's nightly attacks on O'Reilly. If MSNBC agrees to reprimand Olbermann, says the article, Fox will make its negative coverage of GE go away. Neat, huh?
Despite it all, The O'Reilly Factor is still the most-watched cable news show on television.

Keith Olbermann's idiocy aside, word has finally come from the Cruise-Holmes compound about when we may get to see this mystery Suri. 'Shortly.' 'Shortly.' The Scoop reports:
One rumor is that protective pop Top Gun is reluctant to trot out the child because he’s worried about kidnapping threats. His spokesman denies that buzz — and even denies that Cruise is “reluctant” to show Suri.
“He hasn’t been reluctant,” spokesman Arnold Robinson tells the Scoop. “They will be making a decision to release the photographs [of Suri] shortly.” Will the pics be released to a single or few media outlets, or will it be a general release? “That’s part of the decision they’ll be making shortly,” he said.
Fine, so we have no idea what 'shortly' means, but at least it's something. Sounds like Tommy's people better get cracking on the whole scraping together a 'baby' to show the public and make it look like there hasn't been anything suspect about this whole situation aspect of the plan.
Man, its going to feel so dirty to look at those Suri pictures when all the money from selling them goes to Scientology.
