(And spectacular?)The entire spectacle appeared a little beneath Pinsky, who's frequently considered the stark voice of reason at a time of overexposed celebs and tabloid gossips. Had Pinsky formally offered out? Pinsky appreciates he decided to "settle the score" regarding Stodden's cosmetic surgery, but that, as a swap Stoddard and her husband, Lost actor Doug Hutchison, 51, were designed to discuss their questionable The month of january-December relationship. It did not exercise this way. "We did not arrange it correctly we did not get any place in understanding their relationship," Pinsky confesses. "So yea, it had been... 'one of individuals episodes.' It is a new show and we are still trying to puzzle out how to get this done stuff."In the defense, Pinsky most likely can not be expected to have it right each time.

Unlike previous seasons, Pinsky will sign in on a few of the show's most well known former patients, including Rodney King, Andy Dick, Heidi Fleiss, and Janice Dickinson.When Pinsky, 53, was pitched the series 5 years ago, he doubted it might ever work.

"I do not actually want to help people that aren't thinking about getting well."Take a look at our holiday guideFive seasons later, though, Pinsky knows the show's effectiveness.

We labored with him for a long time before he ever came on Celebrity Rehab and that we could never get him sober. By the sophistication of God he got sober on the program - and that is amazing."Pinsky's history resembles those of non-celebrity rehab programs: Some stay sober, however, many still fight the condition.

Steven Soderbergh Leaves 'The Guy From U.N.C.L.E.'

After watching both George Clooney and Bradley Cooper leave behind "The Guy From U.N.C.L.E.," director Steven Soderbergh can also be discovering it time for you to say goodbye. The director continues to be developing the project with author Scott Z. Burns since early 2010, but because of arguments with studio Warner Bros and the possible lack of a number one guy, Soderbergh made the decision to pass through. The Playlist creates that Soderbergh and WB could not agree over casting and budget choices, and also the "Contagion" director made the decision to go away after handles Cooper fell through merely a couple of days ago. Channing Tatum, who has turned into a regular in Soderbergh's recent movies, was briefly considered for that lead part within the spy flick, but wound up being passed over by WB. "The Guy From U.N.C.L.E." was initially designed to shoot in March 2012, and the possible lack of any obvious arrange for the film to be prepared for its start date was a part of what triggered Soderbergh to drag out. The Playlist is confirming that Soderbergh is thinking about filling that place with a brand new, unknown project. He continues to have plenty to help keep him busy with more than the following couple of several weeks, too. His action flick "Haywire" is placed hitting theaters in The month of january, and Soderbergh is busy in publish-production with "Miracle Mike," his "stripper movie" starring Tatum. The Playlist states that WB will probably still proceed with "The Guy From U.N.C.L.E.," but will need to reschedule the flick's planned filming start date. Are you currently disappointed Soderbergh will not be pointing "The Guy From U.N.C.L.E."? Inform us within the comments section below or on Twitter!

Do We Need to Stage a Career Intervention For Rachel McAdams?

Way back in June, Spyglass Entertainment debuted the first trailer for The Vow, the latest Rachel McAdams romance film involving memory loss. It was depressing to see our former Notebook sweetheart diving headfirst into another melodramatic title. Like McAdams’s Vow character though — who is struck with amnesia after a parked car accident involving an overplayed Meatloaf single — I forgot about the former starlet’s downwardly spiraling filmography…until today’s new preview for The Vow reminded me, it’s about time someone stages a career intervention for Rachel McAdams. Exhibit A in the case for Rachel McAdams to stop and seriously re-evaluate the direction of her career: The trailer that incited this intervention. Get More: Sam Neill, Scott Speedman, Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum, Movie Trailers, Movies Blog To paraphrase McAdams’s The Vow character, who pleads with her husband (Channing Tatum) to turn off Meatloaf’s “I’d Do Anything For Love” shortly before “the accident:” You do not like these kinds of melodramatic films, Rachel. Please stop. This is the second amnesiac romantic drama character you’ve played, who, over the course of a movie, must fall back in love with your husband. (Sure, most of the memory loss in The Notebook was left to Gena Rowlands, who played your older counterpart, but still!) One amnesia-torn love story is enough. It is not just that, though. It is McAdams’s humdrum choices ever since 2004’s The Notebook and 2005’s Wedding Crashers, both of which pitted the actress in the kind of role she has never strayed far from: Charming upper middle class white girl love interest. To her credit, McAdams has tested different genre waters (albeit unsuccessfully). There was the plane thriller Red Eye, the cancer holiday picture The Family Stone, the period drama Married Life, the army road movie The Lucky Ones, the political thriller State of Play, the adapted romance The Time Traveler’s Wife, the blockbuster Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and the Woody Allen movie Might in Paris. Unfortunately, in spite of these wide-ranging genres and the potential stage they each offered McAdams to break out of her shell and play anyone other than a distant Allie Hamilton relative, McAdams seems to reiterate the same character repeatedly. Granted, some actresses have been able to mine successful careers out of that no-range formula if they (or their managers) have an eye for blockbusters. Case in point: Katherine Heigl, who always plays Katherine Heigl, and until The Killers, enjoyed box office popularity because of her keen guilty pleasure picks in Knocked Up, 27 Dresses and The Ugly Truth. But post-Notebook McAdams has neither given us films that audiences care to see (unless she is in a supporting role) or powerful dramatic performances that have established her as anything but a rom-com star who can score big at the box office with the right co-star. I root for McAdams, and I hope that she can eventually prove her range as an actress that viewers once expected great things from. Please Rachel, stop whiffing at the plate with rom-coms and start giving viewers the kinds of performances they expected from you after seeing Mean Girls. There is a glimmer of hope…the upcoming Untitled Terrence Malick project to which McAdams is attached with Jessica Chastain, Ben Affleck, Rachel Weisz and Javier Bardem. The drama may sound like a formulaic rom-com — it “centers on a man who reconnects with a woman from his hometown after his marriage to a European woman falls apart” — but at this point, I’ll trade in any of her 2005 to 2011 credits for a well-directed Rachel McAdams romance…or if I can’t have that, short-term amnesia.

Michelle Yeoh Garners Praise at AFI Fest for 'The Lady'

Michelle Yeoh Garners Praise at AFI Fest for 'The Lady' By Scott Feinberg November 8, 2011 Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images Michelle Yeoh When you ask people at the ongoing 25th annual AFI Fest to name their highlights of the festival, one of the most common responses is Luc Besson's "The Lady," which screened here as an AFI Centerpiece Gala selection on Friday, almost two months after its world premiere in rough-cut form at the Toronto International Film Festival (where I saw it and the Cohen Media Group secured its U.S. distribution rights).The primary reason to see "The Lady" -- a moving biopic of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition leader who lived under house arrest for 15 of the 21 years before her release in 2010, and who was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize (in absentia) "for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights" -- is Michelle Yeoh, the 49-year-old Malaysian actress who gives the best performance of her career as Suu Kyi and now has an outside shot of snagging a best actress Oscar nod for her efforts.As Yeoh and I discussed during an extensive interview in Los Angeles on Friday, it's somewhat ironic that she was cast as Suu Kyi, since the leader is famously serene, whereas the actress has, for most of her 27-year career, specialized in action.Yeoh was an accomplished dancer and athlete before a back injury and a meddlesome mother led her to try modeling. She was entered into the Miss Malaysia contest, won, and consequently caught the eye of the great Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who invited her to appear with him in a commercial. Soon thereafter, she was cast in her first movie as a typical "damsel in distress," but when her colleagues learned about her physical prowess she was given a chance to perform few stunts of her own. It quickly became clear that she was every bit as talented as her male counterparts -- in many cases even more so -- and she was, before long, the most popular and highest-paid female star of Hong Kong cinema. (In recent years, Rotten Tomatoes named her the best action heroine of all-time and Quentin Tarantino begged her for an audience.)Given Yeoh's striking beauty and talent, it was all but inevitable that Hollywood would eventually come calling. It was anything but inevitable, though, that it would happen in the way that it did, in the mid-1990s: with an offer to play a Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan's 007 in Roger Spottiswoode's "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997). Yeoh, who is famously selective when it comes to choosing parts, took on this one only after she was assured that it would be a new kind of Bond girl -- someone who is not just eye-candy, but who can mentally and physically go toe-to-toe with the secret agent. This Bond film, like all of those in the franchise, was a tremendous commercial success, but unlike many of the others it was particularly celebrated by women, who cheered Yeoh's characterization.The actress could have stayed in the U.S. to capitalize on her newfound international stardom -- and, indeed, she received plenty of impressive offers, such as starring roles in "The Matrix" sequels. But she elected to take some time off -- three years, to be precise -- to wait for the right part. She chose wisely, because the film in which she eventually returned, Ang Lee's Chinese action-thriller "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000), was a triumphant success, becoming the highest-grossing foreign language film in American history and earning 10 Oscar nominations, including one for best picture.Since then, Yeoh has divided her time between Asian cinema and a select few American films. She looks half her age and still appears to be in tip-top shape, but, in recent years, has begun to shy away from the action genre in favor of character-focused dramas, such as Rob Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha" (2005) and now "The Lady." The latter film offered her a chance to not only play but meet her "hero," Suu Kyi, and her performance raises the bar on an already impressive career even higher.Based on her history, though, I wouldn't put it past her to run, jump, and kick her way over it in the years to come.

Soderbergh at AFI Fest: Angelina Jolie Meets Steven Seagal in Haywire's Gina Carano

AFI Fest’s “secret” screening of Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire wasn’t so much a showcase for the AFI darling as it was a coming out party for MMA bruiser-cum-action heroine Gina Carano, whom Soderbergh glimpsed fighting one night on TV and subsequently built a star-studded spy thriller pic around. But it’s hard to say if first-time actor Carano will branch out in a film career beyond the often lo-fi action experiment. Is she a hybrid of Angelina Jolie and Steven Seagal, as Soderbergh suggested Sunday night? Or is there more of a Cynthia Rothrock quality to Carano’s steely gaze and powerhouse physicality? Haywire, which will be released by Relativity on January 20, follows spy/assassin Mallory (Carano) as she treks the globe after a double-cross, attempting to unravel the mystery of who betrayed and set her up on a recent job, and why. Through a series of flashbacks, past operations unfold with plenty of opportunity to watch Carano in action: pummeling grown men and fellow spies, parkouring across the rooftops of Europe, killing with a cold precision tempered by righteous motivations (and a conscience, of course), all while taking her fair share of bone-crunching blows along the way. While Carano’s dramatic scenes leave something to be desired (her character seems to be written around her dry delivery and limited acting chops, similar to the more experienced but icy star of Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, Sasha Grey), the cast around her steps in to elevate the proceedings. There’s Ewan McGregor as Mallory’s boss and ex-flame, a private subcontractor who sells assassinations and spy ops to the likes of Michael Douglas and Antonio Banderas’s shady government types. Channing Tatum is kind of great as a fellow spy who toes the company line when Mallory goes rogue. Michael Fassbender’s performance as an MI6 agent who may or may not be trustworthy is another highlight with a particularly memorable fight scene, while Bill Paxton, Michael Angarano, and Mathieu Kassovitz round out the cast with solid supporting turns. The plot twists and turns its way around familiar spy genre tropes, courtesy of Lem Dobbs (Kafka, The Limey, Dark City), who had to reverse-engineer the story because, as Soderbergh requested, “She need[ed] to beat her way through the cast.” While the unraveling conspiracy and spy games are nothing new and serviceable at best, where Haywire excels — and has the most unadulterated fun — is in reveling in the sight of watching Carano take on her famous co-stars in close-quarters combat. They may outperform her with character work and the spoken word, but no accomplished actor in the cast can conjure the pure glee of Carano believably tossing grown men around, or kicking an enemy — one played by an Oscar-hopeful in this year’s awards race, no less — clear through a glass-paned door. Conjuring everything from Jolie to Seagal to early Bond films (“the From Russia with Love era”), Soderbergh explained the impetus for making his relatively low-budget action pic at a post-screening Q&A, where stars Carano, Michael Fassbender, and Ewan McGregor joined him for a chat moderated by The Informant co-star Joel McHale. “I’d just been fired off a movie,” said Soderbergh (said movie was Moneyball, later directed by Bennett Miller). Catching Carano fight one evening, he had the idea of putting her into a spy action picture. “I just thought, wow — somebody should really build a movie around this woman. She’s kind of amazing. She’s a natural beauty and she beats people into a pulp in a cage.” “There were two things that were motivating,” he said. “One is, why is Angelina the only woman currently who’s allowed to run around with a gun and beat people up? And the other is, somebody 20 years ago decided to put Steven Seagal in a movie — [he’d] never been in a movie…” The Haywire Q&A took a turn for the silly itself with McHale at the helm, yielding topics ranging from Seagal’s reality TV show (revelation of the night: Michael Fassbender is aware that Steven Seagal: Lawman exists) to the goat balls McGregor once ate on his own reality show, Long Way Down. Then there was Soderbergh’s lengthy faux lament of Kim Kardashian’s divorce (“I almost didn’t come tonight… we’re all in a period of mourning. I’ve been on some miserable shoots, and 72 days is a long time”) and his vague insinuation about real-life privateers and the financiers of Haywire: “Let’s just say the guy who funded this movie, his country’s now run by someone else.” The best anecdote from the filming of Haywire, perhaps? McGregor recalled a choreographed fight scene in which he accidentally clipped Carano with a punch. “I punched her right in the head,” he said. “She came straight up and she went, ‘Are you okay?’” “And she was right, I really fucking hurt my hand. She didn’t even feel it!” Could the same be said about Angelina Jolie… or Steven Seagal, for that matter? Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

Prepare To Catch More Cabin Fever

Third and fourth infections on the wayYou might have thought that the second film had killed the franchise, but steel yourselves for at least two further doses of necrotising fasciitis: Cabin Fevers 3 and 4 are on their way, and will shoot back-to-back next year.The original Cabin Fever was the debut of one Eli Roth, way back in the pre-Hostel days of 2002. A cabin-in-the-woods (hence the name) horror ick-fest, it had the neat hook of a flesh-eating virus instead of a slasher killing its collection of pretty teens. Cabin Fever 2: Spring Break belatedly arrived last year. That one was directed by House Of The Devil's Ti West, although he disowned it and unsuccessfully asked to have his name removed from it following post-production producer interference.That hasn't dissuaded the Beverly Hills-based Indomina Group from picking up the franchise rights, however. "We see tremendous potential with the Cabin Fever franchise," says Indomina's Singh Mann. "We are committing to two new Cabin Fever films because there is a real demand from a devout fanbase." Movie producers, unlike historians, are not required to back up their statements with reliable source material.Cabin Fever: Patient Zero is being written by Jake Wade Wall (the remakes of The Hitcher and When A Stranger Calls), and involves a cruise ship encountering an abandoned research vessel. There are, at least, plenty of cabins on cruise ships. Cabin Fever: Outbreak meanwhile, takes the virus to a Caribbean island, and will be penned by Adam and Deborah Marcus (Jason Goes To Hell, Texas Chainsaw 3D).The current plan is to shoot both films next spring, in the Dominican Republic. Look out for them in Kim's Video Dungeon as and when. Indomina are also working on a movie of the manga and anime series Afro Samurai.
