Titans Clash in Court Over 'Project Runway'


NEW YORK Jeff Zucker, president and CEO of NBC Universal, and Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Co. (TWC), offered colorful and conflicting testimony Thursday at a hearing in New York State Supreme Court -- the first public skirmish in their dispute over the hit Bravo program Project Runway.

In April, NBC filed suit against TWC, which produces the show, for breach of contract for moving the series to Lifetime without giving NBC -- Bravo's parent -- the chance to match the offer. Runway will appear on its new network starting with the sixth season, currently set to begin in November. The show's fifth season launched last night on Bravo and continues through October.

Thursday's daylong hearing before Judge Richard Lowe in Manhattan featured testimony from Zucker, Weinstein and others on two motions, including a preliminary injunction request from NBC that would prevent Weinstein from moving the show to Lifetime before the case is fully tried. The second motion, from Weinstein, asks for a dismissal.

Judge Lowe did not rule on either request today, and it was unclear when he would do so.

Most of the testimony focused on a tense meeting between Zucker, Weinstein and Marc Graboff, co-chairman, NBC Entertainment and NBCU Television Studio, that was held on Jan. 15, 2007 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, well after the relationship between Bravo and the producer had soured.

Zucker testified that during the meeting, he and Graboff secured from Weinstein a verbal promise of a right of first refusal to match any offer that Weinstein received to move the program to a competing network.

In exchange, Zucker testified, NBC approved the accelerated scheduling of seasons four and five of the show and agreed to move the series off Bravo -- possibly to NBC or USA Network for season six and beyond.

Zucker also said NBC agreed to reduce the "hold back" period -- to six months from one year -- as a de-facto non-compete clause barring Weinstein from promoting or airing the program on a competing network.

mostly an excuse to post the pic, but there's real news about his band in the article  
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The touring landscape may be tough this summer, but Billboard Boxscore's midyear numbers illustrate that many tours have enjoyed significant success already.

And, with major tours underway after the cutoff dates for our midyear charts, more help is coming. The time frame for Billboard's midyear touring charts runs from Nov. 14, 2007, until May 13 of this year, and during that period Bon Jovi ruled the roost. Promoted worldwide by AEG Live, the tour sold out arenas and stadiums in North America and the Pacific Rim during this period, grossing $112.4 million.

"The fact is that [Bon Jovi] are still current musically and have consistently delivered a live show that has very few equals in terms of musicianship, spectacle and gigantic hits," AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips says. "Whatever concerns I had initially that they might have chosen to go back on the road too soon after the last equally successful tour were quickly dispelled by the early public on-sales."

AEG Live also produced the second-highest-grossing tour of the period, the Spice Girls reunion, which took in more than $70 million from 45 shows. Coming in third for this time period is the Police reunion tour, which topped all touring charts in 2007 and likely will top others before 2008 is done.

Produced by Arthur Fogel at Live Nation and Bill Zysblat at RZO Productions, the Police will follow up a summer amphitheater run (the band's first) with a final gig Aug. 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York. At that point, the Police will have played 146 shows (not including festivals), moved 3.3 million tickets and grossed $359 million, enough to make this the third-highest-grossing tour of all time.

Rounding out the top 10 are the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus tour ($45.3 million), the holiday blockbuster Trans-Siberian Orchestra ($44.8 million), Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band ($42 million), the Van Halen reunion tour ($40.2 million), Michael Buble ($36.6 million), Take That ($32.5 million) and Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige ($30.3 million).

As always, the top tour rankings will change substantially by year's end, though the Police, Bon Jovi and Springsteen will still be near the top. But with tours just getting underway by Coldplay, Celine Dion, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, the Jonas Brothers and Tim McGraw, and upcoming tours by Tina Turner, Madonna and Neil Diamond, some different names will grace the list.

There will also be some unexpected appearances in the rankings, like the surging New Kids on the Block reunion tour.

Top Ten:
1. Bon Jovi
2. Spice Girls
3. The Police
4. Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus
5. Trans-Siberian Orchestra
6. Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band
7. Van Halen
8. Michael Buble
9. Take That
10. Jay-Z/Mary J Blige

Misdreavus for grabs!  
Hello, this is my first post here since I finally obtained a WiFi connection. Anyway, I'm here because I have a lot of Misdreavus(s) because I was breeding for a specific nature which I still haven't gotten. D: Note this is AFTER I trained a Ghastly to lvl 40.

I really just want to get rid of them, even though they have pretty good moves. I gave them names but I'll gladly change them for you.

More information! )

Someday Will Come (Chapter 1) [Lelouch/Euphemia]  
 This is my first non-oneshot post here. Meaning this WILL be continued.

Title: Someday Will Come
Pairing/Character(s): Euphemia --> Lelouch ---> Euphemia, Imperial family. Lelouch x Euphemia eventually. Lelouch + Anya. Eventual appearances by C.C. and V.V., maybe even Suzaku.
Genre: Romance/General
Rating: PG
Summary: When Lelouch and Anya are engaged, the Imperial family suffers a few casualties. Third person POV, takes place when Lelouch and Euphie are eight years old.
Spoilers: Spoilers for R2, basically. Speculation and AU, to an extent.
Author's Note: In this fanfiction, Anya is Marianne's niece. The name for Euphemia and Cornelia's mother came from the book "Bones to Ashes" by Kathy Reichs. The character, Evangeline, had a sister/relative named Euphemie. I took that as fate. So no. I am not creating cheap names based off of Neon Genesis Evangelion. xD

Not beta'd, as always. ;_; So excuse the typo every so often.

Conan <3 Disney  
Nothing too exciting, but my best friend is seeing The Little Mermaid on Broadway right now, and she just texted me to tell me that none other than Conan O'Brien is at the show today. I'm not sure if his daughter is with him, but I would assume so. I just thought people would find this vaguely interesting, and adorable.

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson: Read all about it  

Lindsay Lohan's latest liaison has turned the tabloids inside out
By Kate Aurthur, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
July 20, 2008

During her 10 years as a famous person, Lindsay Lohan has worn a dizzying number of public masks.

She began as a beloved Disney tween queen and a much-praised box-office lure. That unraveled soon enough, as she became another wounded, doomed celebrity girl careening through the tabloid world: Lohan the despondent daughter of reckless parents, the on-the-set monster destroying her career and holding up expensive productions, the luckless dater whose boyfriends and hookups trash-talked her and did her no good, the cocaine-and-alcohol-fueled road menace who seemed rehab resistant.

But lately, there's been another twist in the Lohan saga that the mainstream gossip media -- her unofficial biographers -- have been feeding to their readers in regular doses. US Weekly, OK!, Star, the New York Post's Page Six, Life & Style and all of the other cogs in the celebrity news machine have been regularly publishing reports about her relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson.

3 weeks post surgery  

On June 30, I had my bladder removed, and had a "neo bladder" created out of small and large intestinal tissue. Plus a stoma was made inside my navel for catheterizing the neo bladder. Surgery was 6 hours, and was in hospital from Monday to following Monday. I have had 2 ER visits since then with one overnight admit to hospital. I'm doing much better now though. It's been a pretty rough and tumble 3 weeks, but I believe I'm through the worst of it physically anyway. 

The hard part now is sticking a red rubber hose into my navel every two hours. I'm totally skeeved by it for some reason. My stoma nurse says every stoma/ostomy patient has the same reaction at first. She said I'll be laughing in 2 weeks about being so skeeved and freaked out by it. It's a real mind trip watching this thing disappear inside my body. It doesn't hurt, but I do feel it.

While I was in the hospital, I totally regretted having the surgery done. Now that I'm on the other side of this, I believe it was the right thing to do, and I'll be much happier for it. In the meantime though, I gotta figure out how to not be so freaked out.

Hope all is going well with you all.

we don't see this that often anymore.. american idol news  



You can't believe everything you see – or don't see – on MySpace, says American Idol's Brooke White, who blames a technical glitch for the absence of David Archuleta as a "friend" on her page.

"Don't fret, my dears, David is one of my favorite people on the planet!!!" she writes. "Rest assured, we all are all super-duper friends, like family, actually, enjoying this tour together."

The 25-year-old fifth-place finalist on last season's show says only a technical issue has kept 17-year-old runner-up "Archie" from showing up on her "top friends" box. Both are now on an American Idol tour of the U.S. with the other contestants.

"It's been driving me crazy ... and so after going on a search through hundreds of pages of friends ... I still can't find Archie's official page ... along with a few other Idol contestant friends of mine!" White writes. "In time, I will work it out, when I have few spare moments while on the road!"

White says she's amazed it even became an issue among some fans.

"It's kinda funny, and/or interesting how seriously people take this MySpace thing," she writes. "I can't believe I'm even writing a blog about this, LOL!!!"

[FIC] So Klingt Liebe - Part 6  
Title: So Klingt Liebe
Rating: NC-17 overall - nothing but some non-specific discussion of abuse and brief makeouts in this chapter.
Summary: Four years after the events of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Machi and Klavier are dating. Klavier's throwing a Christmas party, and everyone's invited - even Spark Brushel. Who will be the star of the night - will it be Klavier, soused out of his mind, Machi, playing the piano for the first time in years or a disgruntled snackoo lady? Or will the star of the night perhaps be DRAMA?
Pairings: Klavier/Machi with a side dash of Phoenix/Miles/Thalassa. Background Apollo/Vera. Past Daryan/Machi. Past Klavier/Ema. Past Kristoph/Klavier with a frowny face. :(
Notes:
*This was for this request: Klavier/Machi! With implied past Daryan/Machi if possible. 8D here on the kink meme.
*It is a sequel to my Daryan/Machi fic, The Heat of Borginian Summer.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6

Machi recognized the reporter before he even approached. Fantastic, of course he’d be stopped by the press on his way to Klavier Gavin’s Christmas shindig.
