Alfred Hitchcock will not wear a Halloween costume

I love seeing celebrities dressed up for Halloween. Some of them go all out and look rather crazy. A lot of celebs don’t wear anything because they don’t want to mess up their hair or be caught dead in anything but Prada. Once in a while a celeb that doesn’t go the costume route will put on a mask, like Elvis Presley in this pic. It’s one of many photos that The Daily Beast has in a new Halloween gallery.
Alfred Hitchcock doesn’t really have a costume, more like a prop. You can almost hear what he said to the crew. Look, I’ll stand behind this atrocious pumpkin structure and hold a broom, but I am not going to wear a costume.

Liz Lemon to date Don Draper

OK, so his name isn’t going to be Don Draper, unless Liz Lemon finds a time machine at NBC and goes back in time, but it looks like Mad Men’s Jon Hamm is coming to 30 Rock.
Hamm is in negotiations to play Liz’s boyfriend on several episodes of the NBC sitcom later this season. This is coming off of Hamm’s great turn as host of Saturday Night Live last week. The worlds of SNL, Mad Men, and 30 Rock are coming together, and it’s all kinds of awesomeness.
Discuss: Movies That Shouldn’t Have Scared You … But Did
October 31, 2008
Got it out of your system now? Good. I’ll explain. Aliens have always freaked me out more than zombies or slashers, despite that homicidal maniacs with machetes are far more prone to kill me in real life. And Signs tapped into my deepest fears — which would be, it seems, being trapped in a house with nothing but my family and my dogs, while an invading force bangs on my windows and runs on my roof. In the theater, I was curled into a terrified ball in my seat, afraid an alien claw would grab my ankles. Once I got home, I didn’t sleep for two weeks — each time I turned off the light, I saw an alien standing on my neighbor’s roof, looking at me. You couldn’t convince me that was their swamp cooler. It was an alien, coming to eat my family.

United Artists has released the last and final movie trailer for Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie. Gone is the overly stylish split screen editing, Added, the SAW theme leads to the climax.

United Artists has released the last and final motion picture trailer for Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie. Gone is the overly stylish split screen editing, Added, the SAW theme leads to the climax. It’s breathtaking how well that theme fits other movies, even though its the key theme song of a five film franchise. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m really starting to look forward to this film. Complain about the lack of accents all you want. Bash Tom Cruise if you’ll, but this looks like a solid thriller.

CBS is sticking with winners, looking for new ones

For CBS, tradition and consistency are the keystones for success. So while CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves talked about a few new projects in an interview with TV Week, he also shared the news that the network will be booking more Survivor and The Amazing Race editions in the seasons to come.
To this I state, hooray! Especially for The Breathtaking Race. There’s a reason this show has won the Emmy so many times. The current race has been terrific. Survivor seems to be having a bounce back season, as well.
