Box Office Report: 'New Year's Eve' Ringing in the Holiday Early

Chris Hyde/Getty Images In the old days, superstar recording artists used to get together and warble for causes like humanitarian aid to Africa, world hunger and AIDS. Now a bunch of musicians and other celebrities are singing an ode to a popular file storage site that has often gotten under the skin of the movie and record industries.our editor recommends54th Annual Grammy Nominees: Kanye West, Adele, Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Katy PerryTweeting With the Devil: How the Grammys Launched a Misinformation Campaign in 140 Characters (Opinion)Kim Kardashian Attends THR's Women in Entertainment BreakfastFoo Fighters' Six Grammy Nominations Put Analog Recording Back on the Map Move over Band Aid and USA for Africa. It's time for the "Megaupload Mega Song," from Will.i.am, P Diddy, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Kanye West, Lil John, Jamie Foxx, Mary J Blige, Floyd Mayweather, The Game and more. Over a simple electro-beat, the various stars sing how much they love the service. Torrent Freak says the music video is a "stunning PR coup" for Megaupload, which has been attacked by the MPAA and RIAA. And on Friday the video was taken down from YouTube, a move that TechDirt says might be due to a copyright infringement claim from Universal Music Group. PHOTOS: 54th Annual Grammy Nominees The servicehas reportedly garnered Kanye West's support because it's "the fastest and safest way to send files," gotten Keys on board because it proves she's serious about music, and earned Snoop's endorsement because "it keeps the kids off the street." The Game adds that even his lawyers know he uses it, noting "...and I got plenty of them." Megaupload is based in Hong Kong and is run by a guy named Kim Dotcom (bornKim Schmitz). The company has only been sued one time in the United States for copyright infringement. In January, adult entertainment company Perfect 10 accused the company of encouraging users to upload its copyrighted material on the service. VIDEOS: The Best (and Worst) Moments of AMAs 2011 Many industry folks probably figured it would be tough to litigate against a company that operates outside U.S. jurisdiction and is cloaked in mystery, but Megaupload surprised Hollywood by responding to the lawsuit. In July, a federal judge turned down Megaupload's motion to dismiss the suit, finding: "Megaupload serves as more than a passive conduit and more than a mere 'file storage' company: It has created distinct Web sites presumably in an effort to streamline users' access to different types of media. It encourages and in some cases pays its users to upload vast amounts of popular media through its rewards programs. It disseminates URLS for various files throughout the Internet. It provides payouts to affiliate websites who maintain a catalogue of all available files and last at a minimum, it is plausibly aware of the ongoing rampant infringement taking place on its Web sites." In September, however, Megaupload settled the lawsuit with Perfect 10. Terms of the agreement haven't been revealed, but the parties submitted a motion so that the judge's July decision would be vacated. PHOTOS: 20 Best and Worst Music to Movie Crossovers The content industry has continued to attack Kim and the storage locker. Two weeks ago, Creative America, a coalition of major studios, networks, labor unions, and others, released an anti-piracy advertisement that includes among its targets "the infamous founder of Megaupload," alleging he makes up to $300 million in profits off of piracy. The creators of"Megaupload Mega Song" are now rallying support of Megaupload. Besides the video below, there's also a club remix of the song in circulation. MEGA UPLOAD SONG!!!!

'Nate Berkus' to exit in May

"The Nate Berkus Show" will not return after its second season ends in May, Harpo Studios and Sony Pictures TV have announced. "After careful consideration, we have decided that 'The Nate Berkus Show' will not return for a third season in the fall," the companies said in a statement. "We are grateful for the hard work and heart that Nate, Corin Nelson and their entire team have poured into the show, and we're very proud of what they've delivered." The show remains in production and will continue with original episodes through the end of its current campaign in May. However, in contrast to Sony Pictures TV's "Dr. Oz," another talker with Oprah Winfrey's imprimatur that averages 3.7 million viewers, "Berkus" did not generate the audience to justify the expense of continuing beyond this season. The "Berkus" news was first reported by Broadcasting & Cable. "I'm incredibly proud of my hard working and talented staff, and proud of the show we were able to produce every day," Berkus said. Sony Pictures TV isn't launching any new syndie talkers in 2012, but is partnering with Will Smith shingle Overbrook Entertainment to produce a Queen Latifah-hosted talkshow for 2013. Flavor Unit Entertainment, topped by Latifah and Shakim Compere will also produce. Contact Jon Weisman at jon.weisman@variety.com

Newly Minted Star Jessica Chastain Breaks Through

Newly Minted Star Jessica Chastain Breaks Through By Jenelle Riley December 8, 2011 Photo by Francois Guillot/AFP/Getty Images Jessica Chastain is the first to admit she has had a pretty amazing year. The Juilliard graduate had already made a name for herself onstage, playing opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Othello" and Al Pacino in "Salome." In fact, her first film role was "Wilde Salome," a part documentary, part staging of the play in which the sultry redhead embodies the title role. (The film is seeking distribution.) Following that, she shot the little-seen indie "Jolene," which was released last year.But in 2011, Chastain was everywhere. First there was her sublime turn in Terrence Malick's oft-delayed "The Tree of Life," playing the ethereal wife of Brad Pitt's character. Then she stole scenes as naive new bride Celia Foote in the big-screen adaptation of "The Help." If you were lucky, you caught her turn as the patient wife of a man having nightmarish visions of the future in "Take Shelter." Or maybe you saw her work as a Mossad agent in "The Debt," or searching for justice in "Texas Killing Fields," both with Sam Worthington. Currently she can be seen onscreen as the wife of Ralph Fiennes' banished general in "Coriolanus.""How is this my life?" Chastain asks with a laugh when talking about the last few months. "Professionally, it will never be this good. It's been a year where I took two films to Sundance; they both won the top prizes in their categories. I had the number one and number two movies at the box office in one week. I was in a film that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. I would be so lucky for one of these things to happen to me. I don't think I could take anymore." Back Stage: You had done two unreleased films before landing the coveted role in "The Tree of Life." What was the process like? Jessica Chastain: My agent talked to me about the film, and I had an audition. It was like an open casting call in a way. It was at Francine Maisler's office. It was typical, a lot of girls waiting in the hallway to go in. I did the things they asked me to, a lot of behavior stuff: Put a baby to sleep, look at someone with love and respect, and I said a couple lines from a Eugene O'Neill play. The next day I heard Terrence Malick wanted to meet me.Back Stage: That behavioral stuff, is that unusual for an audition? Chastain: It's very unusual for a film audition. Normally for a film audition, you have your sides, and you're reading with someone on the other side of the camera. What was so beautiful about this audition was it was more about being than putting something on. I read the description of the character, and I knew who she was, but I think he just wanted to see how we were, how comfortable we were in front of the camera. Sometimes as an actor, you feel, "I have to do something; I have to make this interesting!" And the great thing about Terrence Malick is, it's not about doing anything. Yes, you're playing these people and it has to be absolutely real. But the most important thing is you're just being there. You're being honest about where the character is, and you're not being showy. I think that audition was just focusing on the breadth and the space of what that is.Back Stage: Was it intimidating meeting Malick for the first time? Chastain: I was really scared before I met him. I was and am a huge fan of his work, and there's this legend, a folklore, about him being this quiet, cloistered-off-from-society man. And to be honest, it couldn't be further from the truth. He was the nicest man. I met him for lunch, and his wife, Alex, showed up, and we just talked about our lives. He shared as much as he asked of me about himself. And he said to me, "I've got some pages I'd love for you to look at when you get back to L.A. And when you're comfortable, maybe you could put them on tape and send it to me." And I think because I was there and had made the trip, I said, "If you want, I'm okay working now. You can hand me the pages and we can just work." And I'm really glad I did that, because then we went back to the office and just played a bit, which is the spirit of a Terrence Malick film. It's never about hitting a mark; it's all about being in the moment and finding new surprises.Back Stage: When did you learn you had booked the role? Chastain: It took a while. The movie wasn't financed yet, and I was a complete unknown. He was always very sweet. He came to L.A. a month after that first meeting, and I did another audition, and he was always making sure I knew that hopefully it was leading somewhere. You never know as an actor. You don't know if someone with a big name is going to sweep in and all of a sudden I'm yesterday's news. He's a very loyal person. You know, I was originally cast opposite Heath Ledger, and we all rehearsed together in Texas. When Heath fell out and it was going to be Brad Pitt, I really thought, "Okay, I'm going to get fired," because Brad and I aren't the same age, and I don't know if it had always been Brad if I would have been cast originally. But Terrence Malick just isn't that kind of person. It was one of my favorite experiences I've ever had, making "Tree of Life." I just feel like it's more than a film to me. It changed my personal life and my professional life; it's this golden moment. When you're striving to play this embodiment of grace and compassion, kind of like this martyr and figure for all spirituality, it can't help but change who you are. Back Stage: Did you base her on anyone? Chastain: I started actually big. When I first read the script, Brad's character represents nature and survival of the fittest. She represents grace and the spirit world and unending love. I started as big as I could, so I studied paintings like Raphael's "Madonna." I would sit there and stare at these women, how they would hold their hands, how their eyes would be somewhat downcast. They never had a direct, aggressive gaze. And I watched a lot of Lauren Bacall films to soak up her voice, because she had this way of speaking that was so slow, there was nothing modern about it. Then I did a lot of reading about spirituality, and I read a lot about Mother Teresa. She was the first person I started reading. Terry suggested her to me, and when I did, I was really floored by what an amazing woman she is. From there, I had to ground her in what makes her humanher love for her boys. Her whole life is for them. Back Stage: You play a very different kind of wife in "Take Shelter." She supports her husband as much as she can, even when he's behaving crazy. Chastain: That was really important to me. I said to [writer-director] Jeff Nichols, "I don't want to be the nagging wife." Every scene could be "What's wrong with you; why are you acting like this?" If it's just like that, it's got to mean something. We have to show what he has to lose. This family, they love each other. But she can't be a pushover. She's not the mother from "Tree of Life" she's not this woman full of grace, willing to sacrifice herself for others. She's the mama bear; she's the grizzly that takes care of her cub. And when he does something that directly affects her daughter, she lashes out and attacks him. I loved that I had the opportunity to play this woman who had this deep sensitive love for her husband but was at the same time allowed to be really strong and was the head of the household.Back Stage: You also play a wife in "The Help," although your real scene partner is Octavia Spencer, who plays Celia's maid, Minny. Chastain: You don't always have that chemistry between people, and usually it's between men and women when they talk about it, and they mean it in an intimate way. But I thought our chemistry was so good. For comedy, for the more touching, emotional scenes. There's so much in the book that's so great between Minny and Celia, like Minny thinking Celia is an alcoholic. And when Celia saves Minny from a naked man and she says it's the first time a white woman has ever done anything for her. So I really felt like, "Octavia, we need to make our own movie!" Back Stage: Several of your films are generating awards buzz. Did you always know you had chosen projects that would be so successful, or is part of it luck? Chastain: When I make a film, I don't think about the end result of what will happen with the film. I don't think about if it will be successful or good for my career or if it will propel me somewhere else. I always try to choose movies that will be a great experience making it, because that's the only thing I have control over. I don't even have control over my performance, because there's an editor and a director. So I ask myself: What films can I do where I learn something and I leave the production better than when I came?Outtakes Will next be seen in "Mama" and "Wettest Country" also filmed a small role in Terrence Malick's latest, untitled filmWhile at Juilliard, she was approached by producer John Wells for a holding contract but opted to finish school instead.For her roles in "Take Shelter," "Tree of Life," and "The Help," Chastain was named best supporting actress by the NY Film Critics Circle; she earned a Spirit Award nomination for best supporting actress for "Take Shelter."

The Way In Which I Met Your Mother Boss: You Will Discover More Twists and Turns for Robin

Cobie Smulders Be informed, The Way In Which I Met Your Mother fans: You might like to involve some Kleenex nearby for Monday's episode. "In my opinion it's fair to convey the episode is different from anybody had imagined entering it," co-creator/co-executive producer Craig Thomas notifies TVGuide.com. "It's among people where when we're shooting it and editing it that you just see people tearing up. It's very funny, but it's very emotional too. The conclusion in the episode seems like it's made lots of people cry, but it's a great cry." The episode builds up moments after Robin (Cobie Smulders) told Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) that she's pregnant that is chock-full of more surprises, Thomas states -including, since the logline teases, some "not too good newsInch for Robin. What could that be? Read onto see Thomas' hints relevant for this thought, why he and Carter Bays written being pregnant, and what's next for your relaxation of the year.The Way In Which I Met Your Mother's Kal Penn: Robin and Kevin certainly are a fun matchWhen and the way perhaps you have decide Robin could possibly get pregnant?Craig Thomas: We understood entering the summer season that individuals wanted Robin and Barney relapsing. ... Which we preferred to understand more about how it is like for Robin - this lady who swore she never, ever wanted kids - when she's confronted with the potential for getting children. The next episode builds up literally right in those days that Episode 11 ended with. We view Barney's a reaction to what is the news. Plenty of unforeseen unpredicted unexpected things happen within it. People responses with this news aren't what you consider it may be. There's an excellent forward momentum. This is our midway point - our twelfth episode - plus it spins to the relaxation of the year.So everyone else finds out?Thomas: I'd rather not ruin that, nevertheless the whole episode is about Robin's practice of keeping things canned up inside. Robin's not touchy-feely. She smokes cigars, she drinks scotch, she visits the gun range, she was elevated just like a boy. She, in several ways, can be a more rugged dude than Ted (Josh Radnor). ... We really remain in preserving that part of her of not talking about her feelings and news generally. Everyone knows Robin can get not so great. Works this have associated with the newborn?Johnson: Well, all I am able to need to have to say is she'll understand this huge little bit of news and you'll find more details inside the episode that are certainly items that she may decide to discuss getting a buddy, but she cannot quite bring herself to. The episode becomes an look for Robin just like a character and what continues if you keep stuff inside instead of telling your pals. In my opinion Cobie Smulders warrants an Emmy with this particular episode. She's really, really fantastic within it.Simply because she's never wanted kids, will she wrestle with if you should keep the baby?Thomas: No, we don't visit that place. It's really her wrapping her mind around what she thought her future might be. I'm considering what people will think after this episode airs. We now have always attempted to become show about these figures that are essentially straddling between childhood and the adult years. ... This certainly hits our primary theme of those on your way to the adult years. This is often a large crossroads for Robin. Furthermore, you will find the paternity question, which we all know Kevin (Kal Penn) is sticking around.Thomas: Yes, Kevin will probably be sticking around. The paternity is addressed inside the opening scene. You will discover more twists and turns for Robin, but which get settled quickly. Barney will be the only person Robin's told and he or she wrestles with should you tell everyone else. ... There's this kind of deep outcomes of then. Because of this we keep coming back on their behalf. ... We debated a good deal inside the writers' room [about whether Robin should dump Kevin for Barney]. But ultimately, if Robin had hopped to Barney because episode, on her behalf, it could have been rapport built around the crime. It absolutely was this kind of mistake [sleeping with Barney] and he or she felt so terrible relating to this. Kevin can be a enjoyable guy that, In my opinion because episode no less than, Barney represented the greater negative side and Kevin represented this hopeful, lighter side. [Spoiler Alert: The paternity is revealed inside the clip below. Watch in the own risk.] Becki Newton suits up depending on how I Met Your MotherBarney's experienced a good deal yesteryear day or two. How could he process all of this? Is how Becki Newton will come in?Jones: That's exactly what the first part of the partner of the year will probably be about. He's trying to handle this huge information she's between him and Robin and the way he progresses out of this. We'll meet Becki's character a little later. She's a significant love interest for Barney and she'll be around for a while. ... It'll be not the same as his relationship with Nora (Nazanin Boniadi). Nora was this kind of sweet, being careful of, wonderful character. Becki's character will most likely be considered a spitfire, somebody that can it to Barney by leaving him left without words. It's a little Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin - a few who've met their match. He or she must lock horns with somebody to acquire his mind off what's happening. Are we able to see Nora again?Thomas: I'd rather not say one way or perhaps the other. We are similar to a b --grade horror movie somewhat: Nobody ever dies. Marshall's father has came out more since dying on our show than he did when he was alive! [Laughs] Episode 13 begins with Marshall (Jason Segel) exactly yearly later at his dad's grave and creating ground along with his father, which we get moving with Bill Fagerbakke again in flashbacks. His workload has bending since dying! Not usually situation if you die. But fortunately we could make that really work inside our show. But Chris Elliott will probably be back. Are Mickey and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) round the mend? They were never totally estranged.Thomas: He'll maintain Episodes 13 and 14. Yeah, they aren't completely estranged, but Lily has every one of these conflicting problems with her father, who's a fascinating, awesome guy, but was not ever really there on her behalf maturing. This person will most likely be the sole real grandfather for baby and there's apt to be top quality stuff from Lily's past. In my opinion this can be a very real factor.

Because they and also the family are held hostage at their Texas home, the show flashes-to HRG's recruitment by Primatech, his adoption of Claire, and also the (presumed) murder of his former partner Claude. Despite the fact that episode increased that HRG was at ease with the morally gray areas, it mostly shown what measures HRG visits safeguard his "Claire Bear," whose forces he'd saved secret in the organization from fear they'd take her away. Out of the blue, all his evil functions didn't appear so evil - specially when he sacrificed themselves to make sure that Claire could escape.6.

9/11 vs. the Movies

Maybe it’s more like Extremely Loud and Incredibly Too Soon: “There is also the question of whether or not certain aspects of Sept. 11 — such as the people who leapt out the tower windows — should even be dealt with in a fiction film. ‘Should you show the jumpers or not?’ wonders Angus Kress Gillespie, who teaches a course on the history of Sept. 11 at Rutgers University. ‘It’s very controversial. It’s terrifying, it’s horrible, but it needs to be shown. This is not an abstraction that it was a horrible event; it was a horrible event.’” [LAT]
