Phew, the UK's Richest People Under 30 are Movie Stars

Here it is, the reason I renewed my subscription to the internet: Rich lists. They’re just maddening, enthralling and depressing no matter who’s on them.

But who leads the tally? Once again, your blue-eyed song-and-dance man Daniel Radcliffe wins top honors — and by a very healthy margin.

Resurrecting 'Muppets' in Disney tradition

Working with an 83-piece ensemble on the Sony lot, Beck calls his music for 'The Muppets' a 'traditional orchestral score' in the Disney style.It's a Tuesday morning in late September, and composer Christophe Beck is in the control booth at the Sony scoring stage, listening as 83 musicians play his cue 2M4 from the upcoming Disney movie "The Muppets."The scene has tourists getting off a bus and visiting the old Muppet Theater, long unused and in disrepair. When a young fan sneaks into Kermit the Frog's dressing room -- where a portrait of Kermit and Muppet creator Jim Henson can be seen on the wall -- the music gently shifts from light and bouncy to tender and delicate, with a brief plucking of banjo strings as the camera lingers on Kermit's favorite instrument in one corner.Via intercom to conductor Tim Davies, Beck looks up from his score to suggest a few modifications: "Tuba, that first note can be a little lighter. Violins at the downbeat of bar 40, let's make that nice and short. Trumpets at 19 and 20, can we have quick diminuendoes on each one?"Forty minutes and five takes later, the two minutes and 49 seconds of cue 2M4 is perfectly recorded. Director James Bobin arrives in time to hear a playback of Beck's climactic cue -- three minutes and 40 seconds of alternately sentimental and triumphant music designed to leave audiences laughing, crying and generally feeling good."Like many people my age," says Beck a few days later, "I grew up watching the Muppets. All those characters resonated from my childhood. My job is the same as it is on any movie, which is storytelling through music. In the case of 'The Muppets,' they knew they wanted a traditional orchestral score. They wanted it to feel like a Disney movie, and they wanted to incorporate as many of the tunes from the songs in the score as possible.""Chris and I were talking about Muppet music history," Bobin says. "The score should feel as though it's of that time, to a degree, but certainly have a contemporary element."Chris is just the guy for that, because he has such a good feel for traditional score, at the same time giving it that little edge which makes it feel like it's of today."BILLION-DOLLAR COMPOSER: CHRISTOPHE BECK Beck's green phase | Resurrecting 'Muppets' in Disney tradition | Dawn of the dead | Beck's music in his own words | Beck, private school grad, gives back Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Hammond: TV Academy Salutes Legendary Carl Reiner

Thursday evening I'd the recognition of hosting the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences tribute towards the legedary Carl Reiner that also featured an unexpected appearance in the finish of these two hour showfrom Carl’s Sea’s 11,12 & 13 co-star George Clooney who presented him using the enormous very trophy for his amazing career in entertainment. The packed house ( by having an overflow turnaway crowd watching on video across the street from the Academy’s Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood) welcomed him having a massive standing ovation after comedian Paul Reiser welcomed him to the level. The star-studded tribute also marked the final official Academy event for Chaiman John Shaffner because he noted in hisopening remarks welcoming everyone else, Shaffner will start his job after the following month’s election to a different Chair ( Warner’s Bruce Rosenblum is running oppositie current Vice-Chair Nancy Wiard). I'd formerly located the Academy’s Betty Whitened 60th Show Biz anniversary tribute and Bob Newhart’s 50th this past year which was another amazing evening for any true show business icon, the indefatiguable Reiner who at 󈭉 1/2″ is well-worthy of this “mid-career tribute” when i noted during my own opening remarks. He’a a guy for those (TV) seasons and does everything including lots of Master of Events gigs. “If Carl could host their own tribute tonight I’m sure he'd,” I stated before cueing the outlet clip reel which incorporated an introduction to his career in the classic Sid Caesar Your Show Of Shows and also the Dick Van Dyke Show tocurrent jobs (he’s a semi-regular like a senior stud on 2 . 5 Males and Hot In Cleveland in addition to a recurring character around the animated The Cleveland Show).Several top names connected with Reiner then came onto tell tales and sing his praises but none of them was more entertaining in telling tales compared to honoree themself who thanked Reiser for that guest star role on Mad In Regards To You as Alan Brady (the smoothness he performed on Van Dyke’s show which Reiner produced) which introduced him his twelfth Emmy. He'd guaranteed to split his emmys among his three kids after his dying and was worried how he was gonna get it done with only 11. This reduced the problem he told everyone else. Visitors Reiser , Gary Shandling and Bonnie Search all stopped by to inform just how much Reiner’s career had affected their very own (together with Everyone Loves Raymond’s Ray Romano and Kaira Garrett on tape and creator Phil Rosenthal right in front row), specially the Van Dyke show that is honoring it’s 50th anniversary this month and merely registered for an additional operate on TV Land. Shandling produced a really funny pre-recorded bit saying he was too sick to exhibit up however surprised Reiner by walking on stage afterthe video was over.As we spoken concerning the many films by which Carl directed Steve Martin such as the Jerk, The Guy With Two Brains, Dead Males Don’t Put on Plaid and every one of Me, Martinbrought lower the home(using a pre-recorded greeting- Reiner whispered in my experience ‘this is destined to be good’ .). “I really thought about being there tonight Carl however i am next door getting dinner…. I don’t throw round the word ‘genius’ very frequently. Among the finest you to definitely realize that,” he stated within the nearest the big event reached Roast level humor. Martin’s All Me co-star Lily Tomlin then made an appearance, congratulated Reiner for that practical knowledge she'd but appreciated the 1984 comedy classic most for an additional reason. “I recall visiting your house to go over the project. I had been searching for a brand new home at that time and walked in and stated it was precisely the one I needed,” she told Reiner. He responded, “I am 89 1/2 now . Keep driving by.” His The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming co-star Oscar champion Avoi Marie Saint reminisced with Reiner in regards to a harrowing smallplane ride via a storm on location by which they thought these were all likely to die. She also stated Carl was her “favorite leading guy”, a heady statement thinking about she's labored with Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift amongst others. “That’s since the relaxation are dead,” Reiner stated. Possibly the highlight from the show was the section dedicated to The Dick Van Dyke Show which Reiner produced, created for five seasons and authored nearly all scripts within the first couple of seasons (40 from 60, an activity he stated nearly wiped out him). Really because he described he'd initially shot an airplane pilot in 1959 known as Mind from the Family by which he performed Take advantage of Petrie (the smoothness that eventually grew to become Van Dyke’s) however it didn’t sell. If this finally did 2 yrs later because the Dick Van Dyke Show, Professional Producer Sheldon Leonard described in the timethey finally determined what it really didn't have: “an actor apart from you!” The series’ theme music is really appealing and memorable I acquired the whole audience (and Reiner)to sing it together with me before 85 years old Van Dyke made an appearance whenever we performed the particular theme (compiled by Earle Hagen). Van Dyke and Reiner spoken about how exactly co-star Morey Amsterdam really authored rarely heard lyrics towards the theme and without missing a beat or perhaps a word, veteransong anddance manVan Dyke proceeded to sing the whole song. Additionally they described the famous opening credit bitin whichRob makes its way into his house and only outings or walks round the chair close to the entrance was really shot two ways one evening following a tape. They loved both so that they made the decision to alternate them , keeping the audiences speculating which it might be week to week. “It grew to become a real betting game, ” Van Dyke stated. After clips went cast people Rose Marie (inside a motorized wheel chair) , Ray Matthews , who performed youthful boy Ritche and author-producer Bill Persky became a member of on stage and told tales of the building of the series includingdish onfamous episodes such as the Walnut show and also the flashback where Take advantage of and Laura thought their baby have been switched with another couples in the hospital simply to discover within the famous point from the show, that other couple was black. It’s a little that came the show’s greatest studio laugh ever as well as triggered some debate pre-airingwhen the sponsor was concerned about the racial implications from the joke. Reiner’s closest friend because the times of Your Show Of Shows and the Grammy winning 2000 Years Old Guy tracks Mel Brooks seemed to be set to look but cancelled at the start of the next day of getting an MRI for extreme stylish and leg discomfort.

Is 'Real Steel' the Best Bad Movie You Can See This Year? (And 24 Other Urgent Questions)

'Real Steel,' a movie about robots that box, opens today at a theater near you. The very-popular Hugh Jackman stars, but there's a catch: To watch 'Real Steel', a pre-set amount of your nation's legal tender will have to be exchanged with a representative of your local theater for admittance. Legal tender that was earned, most likely, at a place that you don't enjoy spending time. Will you enjoy spending time watching 'Real Steel'? As a service, here's an answer for every question that you could possibly have about 'Real Steel.' Q: Is 'Real Steel' a good movie? A: No. Q: Will I leave 'Real Steel' in a good mood? A: If you can get past the fact that you just watched a movie that wasn't very good, yes. Q: What is 'Real Steel' about? A: As mentioned in the introduction, it's about boxing robots. I'm not sure what else you really need to know. That either appeals to you or it doesn't. Q: Why do the robots fight? Do the robots not like each other? A: The robots are not sentient (at least, I don't think they are -- there's a kind of confusing subplot about this possibility that gets dropped fairly quickly) so they don't speak, and there is no known animosity between the robots. Q: Why would Hugh Jackman take a role where he doesn't speak? A: Hugh Jackman plays a human named Charlie, not a robot. Q: I see. So 'Real Steel' leaves the possibility that Charlie is actually a robot open ended? Like in 'Blade Runner'? A: Oh, man, this is not going to be your type of movie. Q: If the robots aren't sentient, why are they fighting? A: Controlled remotely by humans, the robots fight for sport in front of an audience. Q: Why would people pay to see this? A: Well, Hugh Jackman has a pretty strong following and seems like a nice enough guy. I mean, his Wolverine movie wasn't very good, but he still has a lot of good will left over from the X-Men movies, so... Q: No, why would anyone pay to see robots box in the setting of this movie? A: Oh. Because 'Real Steel' takes place in the somewhat near future when human boxing has been banned. To replace human boxing (from here on just referred to as "boxing"), robot boxing was invented. Q: No one really watches boxing today for a plethora of reasons, why would an entire new industry need to be created to replace something very few people still care about? A: Nobody really asked for a third Ryan Gosling movie to be released in a three-month period of time either, but that now exists too. Q: Speaking of 'The Ides of March,' will you repost that picture of your friend who looks like Ryan Gosling's mask in 'Drive' for no other reason than spite? A: Yes. Q: How many times in this post have you mistakenly spelled 'Real Steel' as some variation of 'Reel Steal' or 'Real Steal'? A: Seven. Q: Seriously, what's the plot of this movie? A: Charlie (Jackman) is a down-on-his-luck former boxer who owns a robot named Ambush. Charlie receives notice that his ex-girlfriend has passed away. Charlie sired a child (Dakota Goyo) with this ex-girlfriend and has to show up for a custody hearing. Charlie's ex-girlfriends wealthy sister, Debra (Hope Davis), would like to have custody. Q: Does Charlie's robot fight with Debra's robot with the winner gaining custody of Charlie's son? A: No. Charlie actually doesn't even want custody. Q: Why are characters in movies given such unrealistic names like "Dakota"? A: Actually, that's the actor's real name. In the movie he plays "Max." Q: Has anyone in the world been born after the year 1995 with the name "Matt," "Jack," or "Steve"? A: No. Q: Wait, in the trailer I see that Charlie and Max spend some time together. How did Charlie gain custody when he didn't want custody? A: Charlie realizes that he can make a few dollars off of his ex-girlfriend's wealthy family. He receives $50,000 with the caveat that he must take Max for the summer because Debra and her husband are going to Tuscany. Q: Wait, what? How does that make sense at all? A: It makes sense because this scene was most likely written on a Friday after 5 p.m. Q: So Charlie and Max bond over their love for Ambush? A: No, poor Ambush gets destroyed pretty early in the film. Then Charlie purchases another robot named Noisy Boy, but that robot gets destroyed, too. Then Charlie and Max find an older robot named Atom, who they bond over and love. Q: Wait, so Atom is Charlie's third robot in this movie? Why would I care about his third robot anymore than his first or second robot? A: Because the musical score swells more often when Atom is on the screen than it did for Ambush or Noisy Boy. Q: Is it true Evangeline Lilly is in 'Real Steal'? A: Yes. Though, in the second half of the movie she's pretty much regulated to the role of "robot boxing spectator." To the point it felt like director Shawn Levy just put her in a room and said, "OK, Evangeline, we need 18 different shots of you looking happy about something that just happened in the robot boxing match. Then we will need 18 more of you looking concerned or forlorn about something that just happened in the robot boxing match. I'll leave it up to you if you'd rather go more 'concerned' or more 'forlorn.'" Q: Is 'Real Steel' the best movie ever about robot boxing? A: By default, 'Real Steel' is the best movie ever about robot boxing. Q: If you're going to be blurbed in this weekend's commercials for 'Real Steel,' what quote do you think will be used? A: 'Real Steel' is the best movie ever!" Mike Ryan, Moviefone Q: Should I see 'Real Steel'? A: Eh? (shrugs) Q: Is that an endorsement? A: Sort of. Again, 'Real Steel' will not in anyway be confused with a movie that's good. But, for whatever reason, I did leave the theater happy. Though, people who have had lobotomies sometimes appear happier after that procedure, too.

Nathan Fillion, Tim Daly and Michael Rosenbaum Join an All-Star Cast for Justice League: Doom

Bradley Bell Bradley Bell's no fool. The exec producer of The Bold and the Beautiful has Emmy winner Jacob Young - fresh from his scorching performance as badass boozer JR Chandler on All My Children - back in the role of Rick Forrester starting today. Young played the fashion-industry scion during the character's troubled teen years from 1997 to '99."Those were great times with Jacob and he's an even more exciting, intense and unpredictable actor now," says Bell, who nonetheless insists he's not bringing Young in to "take over and steal the show. We will slowly immerse Rick back into the Forrester family so viewers can remember and appreciate him. And then we're off to the races!"Rick will eventually team with brother Thorne (Winsor Harmon) in a vicious battle with Ridge (Ronn Moss) over control of Forrester Creations. And that'll force Rick's mom and Ridge's lady love, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), to choose sides. Says Bell: "Ridge will become more drunk with power and driven by ego and that really pisses off Rick."Also look for Rick to reconnect with his skanky ex-wife Amber (Adrienne Frantz). To set up that story, Bell will replay lots of juicy scenes from 1998 when Amber was two-timing Rick by sleeping with Raymond, an up-and-coming singer played by that then up-and-coming superstar Usher! "He was on B&B long before YouTube so scenes with him are hard to find - it's like the lost Usher footage!" says Bell. "You'll see him singing at Insomnia with very little backup. It's very raw but awesome, a chance to see him just before he broke out big."As for Amber, Bell says, "She's not at the top of her game right now and she's a bit desperate. She will reach out to Rick, the love of her life, and try to bag the guy. But he knows what he's dealing with, so he's going into this hookup with eyes wide open."So where the hell is Bell's big Emmy plot? He won the Outstanding Daytime Drama trophy three years running - for the 2008 suicide of Storm, the 2009 death of Betty White's character Ann, and the poignant 2010 plot about the homeless. But, so far this year, Bell's most talked-about story involved Brooke and her stepson Thomas getting lusty after eating psychedelic sex berries - surely not the stuff that wins industry awards! With the 2011 Emmy qualifying deadline just three months off, shouldn't Bell get crackin'?"I was just talking to my writing team this morning telling them time is running out!" the exec says with a laugh. "Actually, we do have something wonderful lined up in November for Susan Flannery, something that's really going to stretch her as an actress and be very revealing. Her character, Stephanie, will be struggling with an issue that's very present in society. It's going to challenge our matriarch in a way she's never been challenged before."Even more than the Stage 4 lung cancer she battled last year? This we gotta see.Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!
