Strangers with Candy Crew Reunites . . . For Kids
I wouldn't exactly name Strangers with Candy, the 1999 Comedy Central series, as an example of child-friendly fare. And if I were looking to make an actual after-school special — not a Strangers-style spoof — I don't think creator Paul Dinello and star Amy Sedaris would be the first people I'd call.
But Nickelodeon is apparently way, way cooler than I am: The network has hired Dinello to direct Gym Teacher: The Movie, which will air on Nick in September.
TV Teens Are Taken by Wintuk
The newest Cirque du Soleil show, Wintuk, premiered at MSG last night bringing out some of our most favorite new TV stars — Blake Lively and Ed Westwick (Serena and Chuck) from Gossip Girl.

Also out to see the whimsical new show was Abigail Breslin, Leelee Sobieski's tights and cute Hunter Parish, who plays Silas on Weeds.

First Glance: Nights In Rodanthe — See It or Skip It?
Nights In Rodanthe (out October 10) is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, the author of The Notebook, which should probably indicate to you whether you'll be in the faction who love it or hate it. I know that movie splits audiences down the middle!
Starring Diane Lane, Richard Gere and Christopher Meloni (with an uncredited James Franco), the movie is about a doctor who is traveling to see his estranged son, but unexpectedly feels sparks with an unhappily married woman at an inn in North Carolina.
Naomi Stands for Her Man at the Opening of Talk Radio
A pregnant Naomi Watts was glowing in blue at the opening night of boyfriend Liev Schreiber's Talk Radio in NY over the weekend. In the play, Liev's character is a Cleveland shock jock who is in love with his own voice. Liev, of course, received glowing reviews for his performance which isn't surprising considering he already has a Tony for Glengarry Glen Ross.
The Writers Win Awards Also
This weekend turned out to have something for everyone in terms of award shows. While The Grammys and The BAFTAS seemed to have stolen the show so to speak in terms of flash and star power, it's also important to remember who makes it all happen. The writers!
