There's an interesting story brewing over at the CW, where the executive producer of the comedy The Game is re-pitching her show as an hour-long drama (or, technically, dramedy). The CW's basically getting out of the comedy business at the end of this TV season, but The Game's producers think reimagining it as a drama could be a way to keep it alive.
The Hollywood Reporter points out that TV shows switching genres is virtually unheard of, citing Ally, the short-lived comedy version of Ally McBeal.

Hip-hop music videos — with their standard-issue video vixens and cool cars — are ripe for a send-up, and that's precisely why I'm loving this tongue-in-cheek new music video for The Game's "Wouldn't Get Far." The song, which features Kanye West and appears on the 2006 album Doctor's Advocate, already rules. But it's only helped by this homage to VH1's Pop-Up Video, where the Game and West poke fun at hip-hop excess and gold-diggers.

This past Sunday a man known as "Sal9000" and his fiancé Nene Anegasaki vowed to stay together until death, or a power outage, do them part. You see Sal9000's new wife Nene happens to be a video game character in the addictive Nintendo DS game Love Plus. A priest, live audience, MC, and friends of the happy couple were also present at the event, and the bride's virtual maid of honor even gave a speech.

Introducing Brad Pitt, computer game star: the actor's production company Plan B has signed off on a deal with Capcom to adapt the game Dark Void for the big screen with Pitt as the lead. Void follows a pilot who crashes in the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself in an alternate universe fighting off aliens intent on taking over the human race.
This seems more like Will Smith territory to me — I immediately think of something along the lines of I, Robot or I Am Legend.

There's a new fitness game in town and it's ready to work you out and make you sweat. Your Shape ($69), a new Wii game by Ubisoft, makes Jenny McCarthy your workout coach and training buddy so you don't have to sweat it out alone.
The game comes with a camera that you perch on your TV; it captures your image and plays it on your TV so you move with a reflection of yourself, like looking in a mirror.
