This is very cool news for fans of Jon Favreau's gone-but-not-forgotten IFC talk show
Dinner For Five:
every episode is now available at Amazon.com!
The actor made
a deal with the Amazon company CustomFlix Labs to make every episode of the show available to fans in a number of ways. You could go the usual route and buy each season (there were four seasons total) or buy the complete set for around $42.99. But the cool part is this: you can actually buy single episode DVDs! They go for around $10.00 each. But wait it doesn't stop there (great, I'm turning into a informercial guy): you can actually customize your DVDs with your favorite episodes.
Check out Favreau's.

After yesterday's
Q&A session for In Case of Emergency, I decided to ask David Arquette a question or two about his
appearance on Howard Stern's show last week, where he talked a little about what broke up the Jennifer Aniston - Brad Pitt marriage (hint: she has bee-stung lips and a couple of adopted kids) and Aniston's subsequent relationship with Vince Vaughn, most of which made the tabloids.
Did he come out of the Stern show knowing he said things that were going to become news? "You definitely think, 'What did i say that they can twist?' because they do twist it. You kind of feel beat up when you get out of there." He went on to say, "I just don't want anyone to get the wrong impression, because I love all those people."
When I asked him how Stern is able to get information like that out of people, Arquette said, "He just asks crazy questions, and you kind of want to answer them truthfully. You don't want to lie."

Jennifer Aniston was on
Letterman last night, in all her hot-pantsed, oiled-legged glory. During her appearance, Dave tried a couple of times to trick her into admitting that she's dating Vince Vaughn, sneaking in questions like "So what do you and Vince actually
do on a date?" But Jen wouldn't budge, teasing the audience with a couple of "You know what?"s, making them think she might admit to something, then suddenly backing off.
Dave then rattled off a bunch of rumors, some real and some false, that he asked Jen to confirm or deny. Jen rolled with it, giving mockingly shocked responses to phony rumors like "She owns two white tigers." But the comedy was mostly on Dave's side, as he fumblingly drooled over Aniston's legs and tried to get her to admit to dating Vaughn (A video clip can be found
here).

Steve Carell, of
The Office, is among the actors
nominated for Best Comedic Performance on the
MTV Movie Awards. He's not nominated for
The Office,
but for last summer's hilarious movie,
The 40-Year-Old Virgin. He joins the ranks of Vince Vaughn and Owen
Wilson, who were nominated for
Wedding Crashers. While not much weight is put into winning the awards--the
show really is all about the shock value--it's great to see Steve Carell get some recognition among the hip youngsters,
isn't it? These kids are finally discovering what longtime
The Daily Show viewers have known for years: Steve
Carell is the funniest man on the planet. Was that extreme?
On a sidenote: the two couples nominated for
Best Kiss are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in
Brokeback Mountain.
The awards air June 8.

Damn, I truly loved this show. Jon Favreau invites four
industry pros to a restaurant and they eat and talk about the business and they film it. Simple, brilliant concept.
Sadly, the show has now stopped production. IFC is doing more scripted shows, and Favreau is much too busy with
new projects (he's prepping
John Carter Of Mars, a TV show, and a new movie, possibly with Vince Vaughn). If
you check out the
Dinner For Five site, you'll see a note from
Jon, and he says he has created his own
My Space page so we can keep
track of what he's up to. And die-hard D45 fans can still talk about the show on their forums.
The first
season of
Dinner For Five is available on
DVD. Hopefully the other
seasons will be coming soon.
