Gary Newman/Dana Walden Spread Un-Joy
You've GOT to watch this holiday card from 20th Century Television. Brutally honest and humorous about the biz. (My jaw is still on the floor.) UPDATE: Ah, it was written by Modern Family's Steve Levitan which is it's funny. And it was made in a 1/2 hour during the crew's lunch break.

Agency Assistant's Witty Xmas Party Invite
'Twas the night Hwood closes, and all through the land
Not an agent was rolling, with some soon to be tanned;
Bosses' phone calls were ignored by assts without care,
In hopes that their contact soon would turn rare;
The actors were nestled all snug in their beds,
As visions of callbacks danced in their heads;
And Ari in his Prada suit, and I in my GAP,
Had just settled in town for a long winter's nap,
When out on tracking boards there arose such a clatter,
I sprang off of Nikki to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Careful not to stare at celebs like touristy trash.
The moon on the breasts of reality stars did glow
Gave proof of Sunset nightlife going on below,
When, what to my glazed over eyes should appear,
But a party in Westwood, with plenty of beer,
So bring a designated driver, lively and quick,
Who can take you home should you get sick.
More excited than Speidi with the prospect of fame,
These partiers whistled, shouted,
And to this party they came;"Down, Highland! and, Santa Monica!
Now, Wilshire and Glendon!
Past The W! on Weyburn! Past Denny's, on Tiverton!
To the front of the guard porch! Just say you're a guest!
Of Apartment ----! With parking you'll be blessed!"
Unlike heaves that before wild stomaches do fly,
You'll meet with no obstacle, if you simply reply,
Up the stairs to the house-top you'll find,
An apartment with vodka for you to unwind.

Stick with it. The payoff is at the end...
SPOOF: James Cameron As CGI Crackhead
The scene with Michael Bay is kinda hilarious...
SPOOF: 'DeGrassi: The Next Generation'
I've been meaning to post about YouTube star Shane Dawson. So now the Fine Brothers have brought some production value to his channel by co-writing and co-directing this weekend's epic 11-minute send-up of the Canadian TV show DeGrassi: The Next Generation which is a U.S. cable staple. (Must be on its 4th generation by now.) The video, like every video Shane makes, was seen half a million times in less than a day on November 21st, and now has a total of over 2 million views. (Shane gets tens of millions of views a month, which is more than most shows on cable networks.) This spoof is funny in parts and sick in parts. But it's a post-holiday Monday, right?
Actors Will Do Anything To Land A Role...
TJ Miller, an LA-based comedian (Cloverfield, Carpoolers) shot this video after two unsuccessful auditions for the Warner Bros' Yogi Bear movie. Studio boss Alan Horn and producer Donald De Line saw this footage and offered him a major part in the film. He's already in New Zealand shooting:
"Richard, This Is Bryan. I TOLD You Not To Buy A Jet From Nic Cage."
Actually, this Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation passenger plane yesterday missed the runway in eastern Congo. But it's Friday afternoon. And this is what the CAA jet would probably look like. I'm no comedian. What's your best caption?
'South Park' Spoof Of Cameron's 'Avatar'
The latest episode of South Park is titled “Dancing With Smurfs” and in part parodies James Cameron’s upcoming 3-D sci-fi epic Avatar. I thought this would be more biting, but it does reflect what people have been saying about those Avatar trailers. During the episode, Cartman becomes a Glenn Beck /Bill O’Reilly-like character who villifies the student body president Wendy as a socialist/commie, leaves school in disgust to live with the Smurfs, becomes “one of them,” falls in love with a Smurfette, and leads a revolt against the humans who have come to exploit Smurfland for its energy Smurfberries. Here's the excerpt:
Joss Whedon Makes Bid For 'Terminator'
UPDATES Rights To 'Terminator' Franchise For Sale
An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners. From a Very Important Hollywood Mogul
Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.
No, you didn't miscount. That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one. That's to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played. Well, here's what I have to say to Nikki Finke: you are a fine journalist and please don't ever notice me. The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture -- and my pretend play -- as any I can think of. It's far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:
1) Terminator... of the Rings! Yeah, what if he

WEDNESDAY PM UPDATE: I'm being picky about which captions I let through.
WEDNESDAY: Rose Palmisano of the Orange County Register took this photo of Ari Emanuel and Sacha Baron Cohen "enjoying" the Lakers game at Staples Center last night. It's time once again for a Deadline Hollywood Photo Caption Contest, commenters: What are these two major players really thinking?
Video Spoof: ...If You're Sick Of Vampires
This purports to be a parody of those vampire relationship projects proliferating now. I can't decide if this is funny or lame: "After a few years, every relationship can get old. Even when it's with a vampire."
Yes, DH Is The Definition Of Class
Turnabout is fair play. And I hope this reader works for NBC. But she claims to have snapped (more like photoshopped) this pic in her local supermarket aisle:
