Last season's
Project Runway winner,
Christian Siriano, has snagged himself a Hollywood job. The 22-year-old designer who has the dubious distinction of introducing the phrase "hot tranny mess" into the popular lexicon, is designing a collection that will be showcased in the upcoming film,
Eloise in Paris.
Siriano is excited to be featured in the movie, saying, "It is a dream to work with legends such as [director] Charles Shyer, Uma Thurman and [costume designer] Milena Canonero on a wonderful story filled with creative inspirations." One of the film's major scenes takes place at Paris Fashion week, and it will be Siriano's creations that the models will be wearing as they strut down the catwalk.
While having a collection in a movie-version of Paris fashion week isn't quite as prestigious as having a collection in
real Paris fashion week, the young Siriano is off to a good start. After all, he could have been designing clothes for the
Bratz movie,
like a certain other Runway winner.

"
Indecision 2008": The other night, ABC hosted the latest Democratic debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Charles Gibson and former Bill Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos moderated the event and -- to put it in the most articulate and nicest way possible -- totally sucked. That was probably the worst way to pose a question about a possible ticket team-up to two candidates who are in it to win it. Also, that question about Jeremiah Wright and his love for America made me want to grab Stephanopoulos by the head and make him go back to the Keebler elf factory. Not cool, man. Maybe Dennis Kucinich will set him straight.

Uma Thurman is set to star alongside Paddy Considine and Jonathan Pryce in My Zinc Bed, an adaptation of David Hare's 2000 play expected to air on HBO sometime next year.
The movie focuses on an alcoholic, Considine, who has an affair with his boss' wife, played by Thurman. Hare is involved with the project, which is being directed by Anthony Page, who has directed for television several times, including the Masterpiece Theater miniseries Middlemarch.
Hare's other projects include the screenplay for The Hours, for which he received an Oscar nomination in 2003.
Thurman previously appeared on HBO in 2003's Hysterical Blindness.

(S05E13) Ya know, no matter what part political affiliation you claim, I think we can all agree that Bill Clinton lends himself well to comedy. There's just enough hillbilly in his character to make him easy to laugh at.
Family Guy certainly isn't the first show to take a run at Clinton, and they've now featured the former president four or five times, but there's plenty of room at that party.
That's getting ahead of the game though. Before we could get to the Peter and Bill hijinks, there was the loosely relevant opening at the Quahog Marine Center. While it was a long way to go to get to the main plot, there were a lot of funny bits in that opening. Herbert at the fondle tank, Stewie's stripper line, and Seamus saving Peter from the octopus were all good bits. I especially liked the Wacky Wall Walker finish to that.

There's a teaser for
My Super Ex-Girlfriend currently airing on television that gives Rainn Wilson as much face time as big-name stars Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson. Rainn plays Luke Wilson's nerdy buddy who gives him all sorts of relationship advice. I think I saw it the other night during reruns of
The Office and
My Name is Earl, which makes sense. But still, that's pretty cool for Rainn. 20th Century Fox obviously thinks he has enough fans as Dwight Schrute on
The Office that he'll be the reason (some) people go to the movie. The movie hits theaters July 21.
Knowing that Rainn Wilson is in the movie... is that reason enough for you to plop down $10?
Teaser video after the jump:

As Bob
told you, Oprah will be visiting Auschwitz with Holocaust survivor and
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel on today's show, which should be a very informative and interesting episode. It is probably one of the most somber and serious topics Oprah's ever covered.
So what's the natural follow-up?
Grey's Anatomy, y'all!
On Friday,
Oprah will talk to the entire cast of
Grey's about the hugely popular season finale and about the show in general, including show news. She'll also have Uma Thurman for something or other.
(By the way, Thursday's show is about 50 young people Oprah wants you to meet. But saying
that was the follow-up to Auschwitz isn't nearly as absurdly funny as talking about
Grey's. My blog post; I get to make up the rules.)

Turner Broadcasting just inked a deal with NBC
Universal that puts a bunch of movies, including this winter's
King Kong, on its networks in 2008. Not sure if
the NBC network had the first right of refusal on that movie, but you would think so.
Along with
King
Kong, Turner also bought the rights to air these movies in 2008:
- The Ice
Harvest, starring Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack;
- Doom, starring The Rock;
- Two for the Money, starring Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey;
- Prime, starring Meryl
Streep and Uma Thurman.
