Sneak Peek: HBO's How to Make It in America
Clearly Mark Wahlberg is on his way to total HBO world domination. There's his upcoming political show for the network, and starting on Feb. 14, we'll get a look at his newest venture, How to Make It in America.
Zooey Deschanel Is With the Band
I've always had a bit of a girl crush on Zooey Deschanel, and not just because of her films. The actress has become a hipster darling of sorts thanks to her cute retro look and side gig with She and Him, which is why she seems perfectly cast for HBO's dramedy I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie. Deschanel has signed on for the new series, based on Pamela Des Barres’s memoir about running around with musicians and movie stars in the late '60s.
A Sexy New Drama Emerges For Maria Bello and Russell Crowe
HBO has really been beefing up its TV slate lately: just yesterday I told you about the new series Charlize Theron is producing, and three more big names have signed on for another drama. Russell Crowe and Simon Beaufoy (the Oscar-winning writer of Slumdog Millionaire) are developing a new series for Maria Bello to star in called Emergency Sex. Both Crowe and Bello will produce.
Sneak Peek at Scorsese's Boardwalk Empire For HBO!
Rumor is that HBO's series Boardwalk Empire won't air until this Fall, but I'm already getting amped for its premiere. The show roster has talent in spades: Sopranos writer Terence Winter pens the script, Steve Buscemi plays a lead, and at its helm (at least for the pilot) is Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese.
Scorsese knows a thing or two about portraying hoodlums (Gangs of New York or The Departed come to mind), so he should be in his element here portraying 1920s Atlantic City during the prohibition and the gangsters who run it.

TV Tonight: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary Concert
HBO is hosting a special tonight to celebrate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary, and the line-up is star-studded. U2, Metallica, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and other acts each have a segment of the show where they'll be rocking their music, along with a few tunes by other artists who have inspired their work.
I'm glad to see Bruce and his boys here after hearing they might not perform together anytime soon, but what I'm most psyched to watch is the evening's unique musical pairings: Stevie Wonder and John Legend are teaming up to perform "The Way You Make Me Feel," Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Billy Joel have a duet to "New York State of Mind," and U2, Mick Jagger, and the Black Eyed Peas are coming together for "Gimme Shelter."
Oprah's Getting in Bed With HBO
Well, kind of. The days of Oprah Winfrey's talk show may be numbered, but don't expect her to disappear anytime soon. Just a few days after her big announcement, the media mogul already has a project with HBO in the works — and she's kicking things up a notch.
Buzz In: What Do You Think of HBO's New Sunday Night Lineup?
While the Emmys were going down on CBS last night, HBO unveiled its latest Sunday lineup. True Blood and Hung may be out for now, but in their place, the network brought in another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and new show Bored to Death to air before Entourage.
I'm curious to hear what you guys think about the schedule and this week's episodes.
HBO Might Make a Show Based on "Savage Love" Column
When I was in college I used to read Dan Savage's sex column because, while not always particularly relevant to my experiences, it was always entertaining. Savage's column, "Savage Love," is wickedly funny, often racy and very honest. Now, HBO may be home to a TV series based on the raunchy column.
In a Dream: a Memoir Told Through Mural
When Isaiah Zagar moved to Philadelphia in the 1960s, he started creating a massive mural made of shards of glass and tile on the side of an abandoned building. The ongoing art chronicled the highs and lows of his marriage and the life of his two sons, one of whom has now made a documentary about the memoir in mosaic, called In a Dream. Check out the trailer below.
