Cougar Town Keeping It’s Title!

Friday, Jul 30, 2010

So much for my Family Jules idea.

The exhaustive search for a new title for ABC’s Cougar Town—one that better reflects the show’s evolution from single-woman-on-the-prowl sitcom to dysfunctional-family comedy—has been scrapped, exec producer Bill Lawrence confirms to me exclusively.

“I’m not changing the title,” Lawrence tells me. “We never thought of a good new one, which kind of sucks. And when you look at the modern landscape of television, changing the title means changing your DVR and all this other stuff.”

Lawrence says he’s hopeful the publicity surrounding the proposed title change will “get the message out” that Cougar Town has become a different (and vastly improved) show.

“It’ll be a funny burden to have,” he shrugs. “It might be the worst titled show of all time.”

Thoughts? Do you agree that it’s too late to fix the show’s broken title? Are you comfortable telling your friends that your favorite comedy is called Cougar Town? (I am!) Sound off below!

Is she the killer? Courteney Cox films with the famous ghost mask on set of Scream 4

Friday, Jul 23, 2010

The first three films were famous for their plot twists and surprise endings, and by the looks of it, the next instalment will be no different.

Courteney Cox was photographed on the set of Scream 4 clutching the famous ghost mask worn by her former nemesis, the killer.This has led to speculation that she might be switching sides in this film, and donning the costume that has terrified audiences for more than a decade.
Courteney’s character, news reporter Gale Weathers, could also have just found the mask discarded, and is being chased herself.Either way, fans will have to wait until the film’s release in April 2011 to find out.

On location on a remote farm outside Detroit, Courteney, 46, looked a little nervous to be standing amongst the dark forest, despite being surrounded by film crew.The actress was wearing a casual outfit of leather jacket, black jeans and boots, suggesting she will be filming a a chase scene.Whether she will be the pursuer or pursued remains to be seen.

Earlier that day, a barn t the location was set up to look like a typical horror scene from the film franchise, with ’scarecrows’ wearing the killer’s outfit of ghost mask and cape erected around the premises with bloodied knives attached.

The entire cast have been hard at work, filming every day in several locations around Michigan.Courteney was photographed in a more glamorous outfit on set earlier this week, looking immaculate in a tight purple dress and matching heels.Her husband David Arquette, as well as new cast members Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts and Adam Brody have also been spotted shooting scenes for the film.

Cox has ensured that she won’t be outshone by her younger co-stars, and revealed to the August issue of US InStyle magazine that she uses Botox to stay fresh.

‘Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another. Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly.’

The actress admitted to going overboard in the past.

She said, ‘I feel weird if I can’t move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin.’

‘Scream 4’ shuffle: The 411 on Lauren Graham’s exit, Adam Brody’s entry and script changes

Thursday, Jul 1, 2010

What is going on with “Scream 4”? These cast changes are making us dizzy. Though Lauren Graham confirmed her role in the highly anticipated slasher flick just 10 days ago, she’s no longer involved with the production.

Sources close to the production tell Zap2it exclusively that there have been some very significant script changes… and the changes aren’t all good. In Kevin Williamson‘s original script, Graham’s role was “a fun role. Not big, but it had some meaty scenes.” Shooting began this week, and in the latest draft, “the part was reduced. She had like four lines.”

Another source says, “The script changes have put a real strain on the cast. The original ‘Scream’ cast members aren’t happy with the way that things are happening, so it’s probably a good thing that [Graham] dropped out before things get messy.”

Our source says that the script changes haven’t ended. Another draft is on the way, and the cast and crew is four days into shooting. Graham isn’t the only victim of the revolving door – Lake Bell was also cast in the flick before she had to drop out.

“Sucks: Scheduling conflicts with my current gig means I cant do #Scream4! (Hey horror bloggers, I know who the killer is…) #i’llnevertell,” the “How to Make it in America” actress tweeted.

Hopefully, the latest cast member, Adam Brody, will stick around. According to our sources, the former star of “The O.C” will play a rookie cop who is thrown into the inevitable “Scream” gore-fest just after graduating from the Police Academy. Dewey Jr. done O.C. style?

More deets as they develop…
