{alltv} Duhamel raises $1M for hometown

 

Josh Duhamel helped raised more than $1 million for his North Dakota hometown by hosting a Black Eyed Peas concert on Saturday.

The actor recruited his wife Fergie's band to headline a benefit show in his native Minot after heavy flooding forced 11,000 residents in the city from their homes earlier this summer.

About 16,000 fans turned up at the Minot Rising show at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds, where singer Fergie gave a shout out to the locals.

She told the crowd, "This is a beautiful, beautiful vision for us, especially for me because I have family here now... It might be small, but it has the biggest heart in America. North Dakota, we love you so much!"

Her bandmate will.i.am later took to his Twitter.com page to recognize Duhamel's efforts in organizing the fundraiser, writing, "Thank you for you (sic) passion, determination, and vision to do good, and ability to bring people together for a good cause... BEP had a concert in N Dakota & raised 1 million dollars for Minot flood recovery."

All proceeds will benefit flood victims.

{alltv} 'That's So Raven' Star -- Allegedly HAMMERED During DUI Arrest

"That's So Raven" actor Orlando Brown was so drunk at the time of his DUI arrest last month, his blood alcohol level was more than TWICE the legal limit ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told Brown's B.A.C. was measured at .17 during the August 12 arrest -- more than double the limit in California, which is .08.

23-year-old Brown -- whose pregnant girlfriend was a passenger in the car during the arrest -- has been charged with 2 counts of DUI and could spend several months in jail if convicted.

TMZ broke the story, Brown was originally pulled over for driving without a license plate just a short distance from his L.A. home -- when cops noticed the smell of alcohol and arrested him.

He's due back in court later this month.

{alltv} 'Jersey Shoresical' pokes fun at popular MTV show

Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)

NEW YORK (AP) — When the retailer Abercrombie & Fitch recently offered to pay "Jersey Shore" cast member Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to not wear its clothing, Daniel Franzese and Hanna LoPatin recognized the comedic potential in the, er, situation.

They quickly wrote a joke to update their musical "Jersey Shoresical: A Frickin' Rock Opera."

"That was easy to throw in," says LoPatin.

That commitment to keeping "Jersey Shoresical" current and fresh has paid off. The satirical show had a sold-out run recently in Los Angeles and won the ensemble award at the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival. It's also been picked as part of the Fringe's encore series for six more shows in late September.

Even if you haven't seen MTV's "Jersey Shore," which chronicles the carryings-on of a group of hard-partying mostly 20-something Italian-Americans, the musical makes it easy to understand.

There's a glossary in the show's program of words and phrases often used by the cast like "grenade" (an unattractive girl) or "GTL" (the practice of going to the gym, tanning and doing laundry.)

Franzese and LoPatin not only created and co-wrote "Jersey Shoresical" but co-star as tumultuous couple Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola.

On stage they perform an emotional duet about their love/hate relationship, which has been a major focus of the TV series.

"They're just an amazing couple," laughs LoPatin. "They just can't stay away from each other and then they're toxic when they're together."

"Their passion lends itself to old operatic themes," adds Franzese, who wears a muscle suit for the show. "It was too tempting not to indulge."

Other highlights include:

— Karen Diconcetto, who plays Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, sings about how she wants "a gorilla juicehead to love me forever" while holding a gigantic jar of pickles.

— Max Crumm, who plays Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, holds a framed photo of himself and belts out a love song, whose lyrics include, "If my reflection could show affection" and ends with "I'm in love with me."

— Most surprisingly, a male (complete with streaked hair, blinged-out jean shorts and a push-up bra) has been cast to play Jenni "J-Woww" Farley.

"She's so glitzy, she's so out there, she's so tough, that it just seemed she had the right amount of masculine energy and female energy to be a drag queen," explains Franzese.

For the most part, the plot of the musical won't change but its creators say they follow new TV episodes in case something explosive happens that must be added in to keep it current.

LoPatin and Franzese say the show has stirred up buzz in the comedy and theater communities. They'd love to take it to other cities or off-Broadway.

While the two have their issues on stage, behind-the-scenes they're great writing partners. They often had to take breaks while collaborating because they were laughing so hard they couldn't breathe.

"There's a lot of high-fiving that goes on," says LoPatin.

So far the real "Jersey Shore" cast hasn't gone to see the show but LoPatin and Franzese hope they one day attend and get the joke.

"These are people who make fun of themselves for a living. I think they know what they've gotten themselves into," says LoPatin.

"We have an affection for them. We were very sensitive to their feelings, believe it or not," says Franzese.

But LoPatin admits she would like more than just a "Jersey Shore" cast member to see the musical: She'd also want them to take part in it.

"My dream is for one of them to guest star as a grenade."

Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)

The cast of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York" are all waiting by the phone to hear whether they'll be back again. But the show's Sonja Morgan told us she's taking the waiting game in stride as she basks in being Social Life magazine's latest cover girl. "None of us should be unhappy where we are," Morgan told us as she prepped to attend a party for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries at Capitale this week. "It's really up to Bravo and what they want to do. If it happens, it happens. But none of us should be unhappy because of the success we've already earned. If I'm not back next season, it's not bad. We're still all stars." Meantime, Morgan will be celebrating her Social Life cover tonight at Southampton hot spot South Pointe. A Bravo rep said, "Production for 'Real Housewives of New York' was pushed as we are finalizing some details for the new season. The cast will be notified once shooting is about to commence."

{alltv} James Gandolfini Working on Antarctica Series for HBO

Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)

James Gandolfini is giving it another go with HBO. The actor is set to produce for the network and possibly star in Big Dead Place, according to Deadline.com.

The dramedy series would be based on Nicholas Johnson's memoir of the same name about living in Antarctica. Johnson moved to the frozen continent when he got a job with the United States Antarctic Program, which is devoted to the scientific research of Antarctica. Breaking Bad writer-producer Peter Gould has been brought on to adapt the book for television.

Gandolfini's Attaboy Productions has had a deal with HBO since 2006, but so far no new series have resulted from it.

{alltv} Linda Ellerbee's Nick News remembers 9/11 from the kids' perspective

Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)

For those of us who do remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001, it's hard to imagine that anyone wouldn't; but for children who were too young to understand what happened that day, there's Nick News' longtime voice of reason, Linda Ellerbee.

In Thursday night's Nick News special, "What Happened? The Story of September 11," Ellerbee attempts to cut through the "media noise" and clarify the story for children. Ellerbee omitted some of the more graphic images and details, and suggested that kids grab a trusted adult before tuning in.

Though the special was obviously intended for young viewers, the first-hand accounts of people who were children in 2001 and now are older teenagers or young adults gave an interesting perspective on the day.

We particularly appreciated the inclusion of Jamie Jones, a young man who was seven years old that day and a member of the class that President George W. Bush so famously read to on that fateful morning.

"The president, he just sat there, and his face just went dead," Jamie said of the moment when Bush was informed of the tragedy. "He had a blank stare.

{alltv} 'Empire' bad girl flashes lingerie

Avatar (Blu-ray) (With DVD) (Special Edition) (Widescreen)

Actress Paz De La Huerta is playing up her bad girl reputation with a new advertising campaign teaching women "how to strategically flash" their underwear.

The Boardwalk Empire star can be seen showing off ruffled pink lingerie under a black jacket as she steps out of a car in Agent Provocateur's latest promotion.

The lingerie company's creative director Sarah Shotton tells Women's Wear Daily, "We always try and choose girls that are true Agent Provocateurs, and she definitely is AP through and through.

"She's got an amazing body and she's naturally very, very sexy. We wanted (the campaign) to be a little more riskier (sic) in a way. I thought, 'Why don't we do a campaign that celebrates that you're wearing Agent Provocateur... a guide to how to strategically flash your lingerie?'"

De La Huerta is no stranger to controversy. She was photographed accidentally exposing a breast after she was banned from a Golden Globes party in January. Two months later, she was arrested after becoming embroiled in a bar brawl.

{alltv} 'DWTS' producer: Give Chaz Bono a chance to dance

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "''Dancing With the Stars" executive producer Conrad Green says despite controversy over the casting of its first transgender contestant, "Dancing" remains a family show and viewers should check out the new season before passing judgment.

Chaz Bono, who was born female but underwent surgery to become a man, is among the cast of 12 celebrities set to appear on the ABC hit when it premieres later this month — a decision that's drawn ire from some "Dancing" fans and conservative media groups.

Dan Gainor of the Culture and Media Institute calls Bono's casting "a ridiculous, agenda-driven move by 'Dancing With the Stars.'"

"This is the latest example of the networks trying to push a sexual agenda on American families," he said Thursday.

The organization is not calling for a boycott of the show, but online group OneMillionMoms.com is. It says on its website that the casting of Bono and openly-gay reality star Carson Kressley "is completely unacceptable and Christians should not watch the show, no excuses!"

Besides Bono and Kressley, the new cast includes basketball star Ron Artest; World Cup soccer player Hope Solo; reality stars Robert Kardashian and Kristin Cavallari; TV personalities Nancy Grace and Ricki Lake; singer-actress Chynna Phillips; actors David Arquette and J.R. Martinez; and Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis, who may be better known in the United States for being George Clooney's ex-girlfriend.

Green says the show has no agenda other than entertainment and always seeks to represent a range of people.

"I think we've had three gay or transgender contestants out of about 120 on the show, so what we're really doing is reflecting some of the makeup of this vast array of people that make up American society," he said in an interview Thursday.

The show remains family friendly, he said, adding that he has young children of his own.

"We're not going to be dwelling on Chaz's sexuality any more than we dwell on anyone's sexuality on the show," he said. "We're not going to be going into things that are going to make it difficult for you to watch with your children at all."

Bono wasn't cast to stir controversy, but because he's "a great guy and he's got a really interesting story," Green said. "He comes from Hollywood royalty as a family and is familiar to loads of our audience throughout his life."

Bono is the only child of Cher and Sonny Bono.

Cher has taken to Twitter this week to blast the "stupid bigots" who she says have "viciously attacked" her son since the "Dancing" cast was announced on Monday. She praised his courage for appearing on the show and wrote: "bet VAST MAJORITY of People will LOVE CHAZ on DWTS !"

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation praised the network and "Dancing" producers for casting Bono. Spokeswoman Sharda Sekaran said that despite some negative response, his appearance on the show may help foster better understanding about transgender people.

"This community faces a lot of misunderstanding, fear and hatred, and all too often, violence," she said. "But these are people just like anybody else, who are part of everyday things as normal as entertaining audiences on a dancing show.

"Even with the negative reaction, it gives people exposure and access to the story of a real-life transgender person."

Bono said on his Twitter page Thursday that he is "overwhelmed by the outpouring of support I received from everyone."

"I don't listen to the haters, but embrace the love," he wrote.

Green said Bono's casting and the resulting conversation has boosted awareness of the show, but he hopes dancing supplants controversy when the show premieres on Sept. 19: "I hope that a lot of the people who appear to be upset at the moment will give him a chance and maybe realize it's not quite as bad as they think."
