FishbowlLA: Hollywood’s Favorite Diner Gets Another Web Shout Out

FishbowlLA LA Media News, Unspooled

Hollywood's Favorite Diner Gets Another Web Shout Out Dec 31st 2012, 17:00 In the summer of 2010, LA freelance video editor Matthew Freund put together a mash-up of the many different film and TV scenes shot at downtown LA’s Quality Cafe. The piece got some nice pick-up at Gawker, Huffington Post and elsewhere, educating a legion of readers about just how ubiquitous this shooting location has become. A cracked.com contributor decided this past Friday it was time for a refresher, and judging by the millions of page views registered on “6 Places You’ll Recognize from the Background of Every Movie,” it was a good call. The West 7th Street establishment once doubled as both a diner and shooting location, but in recent years it has been used exclusively for the latter purpose. It ranks sixth on the Cracked countdown of all-purpose filming locales, followed by Vasquez Rocks and more. continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

Matt Donnelly Exits LAT's Ministry of Gossip Dec 29th 2012, 09:15 The beat will remain pretty much the same for entertainment journalist Matt Donnelly. But the Web traffic will be much larger, the reader comments harsher and there will now be, with any story, the walk-down-the-hall option of a synergistic TV appearance. The Ministry of Gossip celebrity blogger got the official sendoff last night from boss Christie D’Zurilla and other LA Times colleagues, who all wished him the best of luck with new employers Yahoo! omg! and omg!

FishbowlLA: Billy Crystal Explains Why It’s So Hard to Open the Oscars

Billy Crystal Explains Why It's So Hard to Open the Oscars Dec 29th 2012, 08:30 In terms of what Seth MacFarlane is truly in for February 24, 2013 at the Dolby Theatre, there is no better primer than the second half of this clip from Billy Crystal‘s recent appearance on Larry King Now. The ten-time Academy Awards MC says everything is working against the host in those opening minutes, including the fact that the lights are on. “As a performer, I hate seeing the audience,” Crystal says. “I especially don’t like seeing the biggest stars in the world looking at me, going, ‘Please be good.’ And if you’re going to make a joke about so and so, I definitely don’t want to see them.” continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

FishbowlLA: For Your Consideration: A Curiously Timed Pete Hammond-Deadline Item

FishbowlLA LA Media News, Unspooled

For Your Consideration: A Curiously Timed Pete Hammond-Deadline Item Dec 28th 2012, 17:00 It’s been a while since there has been any real public skirmishing between The Hollywood Reporter and Nikki Finke‘s Deadline. But lo and behold, in this quietest of holiday weeks, another small chapter in the PMC-Prometheus rivalry is being written. At issue is whether a 9:55 p.m. PST December 27 story by Deadline’s Pete Hammond about troubles with Academy member online voting had more than a little to do with a longer, more exhaustive 2:58 p.m. PST December 27 story about the same topic by THR‘s Scott Feinberg (headline displayed above). From our vantage point, it would certainly seem so. It looks as if, after the THR item hit, Hammond’s marching orders were to produce a version of his own, pronto. The shame of it is that an acknowledgment of the Feinberg piece in his post would have in no way denigrated the overall impact. In fact, it would have made for a more interesting Deadline item if Hammond had specifically bounced off the Hollywood Reporter article, challenging and contrasting what he has been hearing with what Feinberg reported. continued… New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.
