Top Chef's Nyesha: I'm Not Sure How Our Dish Wound Up Undercooked
Nyesha Top Chef's first double elimination stated Nyesha Arrington and Dakota Weiss once they undercooked their venison - or even more particularly, Dakota undercooked the venison. "It sucks to visit home for something I did not do myself," Nyesha informs TVGuide.com. "When it is something you probably did, it is a little simpler to swallow." Still, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based chef states she's not bitter that they needed to go lower for Dakota's mistake.Top Chef's Whitney: My way of thinking was offDid you believe everyone would get removed? That's usually fate if you do not prepare a dish correctly.Nyesha: Yeah, I am talking about, we'd the greatest error. There is no doubt about this. It had not been cooked. It had been very hard to perform a team challenge where you are both attempting to be responsible and you are both focusing on one dish and something person manages the primary piece, also it does not go well.How did the venison finish up undercooked? Maybe it was the oven?Nyesha: No. I do not fully realize. You'd need to request her. Dakota and that i cooked an effort loin and that i thought we'd the occasions called in. I'm not sure what went down. I began to plate and change and she's standing there, searching at me. And she or he goes, "It's raw!" And That I just informed her to help keep cooking it more. I had been like, "Prepare it! Clearly, it's raw!" [Laughs] You realize? It's like, would you like me to re-confirm this?The length of time remained at that time? Was there any chance you could've restored it?Nyesha: That's the one thing. Where i was each situated, she walked round the whole kitchen to sleep issues to inform me that. I am already plating plates and essentially they are like 80 % all set to go and merely needed the venison to leave the oven sliced. Basically used to do the venison also it was undercooked, I would have sliced it and seared it immediately. But she came over and requested how to proceed and that i stated to slice it and baste it and shoot them inside rapidly. To ensure that required up a while because every second counts. But I am not really sure the way it wound up raw to begin with.Top Chef's Chuy: I understood I had been screwedYou stated that you simply attempted to aid her choices, but would you regret not more assertive?Nyesha: Well, she was type of lower on herself and feeling like she wasn't thriving, then when she stated she desired to prepare the venison and stated she's cooked it 100 occasions, I did not think it might be an problem. I wasn't likely to be like, "No, I do not trust you to definitely prepare it." Used to do trust her and that i wasn't concerned about it.Do you consider it would have been fine should you have had cooked it?Nyesha: Totally! I'd be inside it. It would have been perfect! [Laughs]How hard maybe it was to visit home whenever you were not the one that made the error? Can you favour had the double elimination be a couple from different teams?Nyesha: It had been tough. But to become perfectly honest, the task was for all of us to operate together and make up a effective dish there could be one team going home. We did not do this. So I am not likely to say it's unfair that i can go back home or only Dakota should have gone home. Where she did not follow-through on her behalf part, I am certainly accountable for the dish too. It had been a unsuccessful team effort. I'm able to be upset about being removed, however i can not be upset about why. I totally realise why we went home.Have you think Louise and Beverly could've become the boot when Louise began attacking Beverly?Nyesha: Yeah, totally! Dakota was stating that whenever we were walking back. I figured i was totally going home, but when that debacle began unfolding, I had been like, "Not!Inch [Laughs] It had been totally uncomfortable just standing there while she did that.Top Chef's Richie: I wasn't thinking clearlyIt was uncomfortable to look at.Nyesha: Yeah. Louise loves to play antagonist, you realize? This is the way she's. Even throughout down time, she will be the only speaking probably the most. She'd literally be two ft from you, but yelling. The conversation might be like, "Heaven is blue," and she'd be yelling constantly! [Laughs] Everybody was like, "What's happening?Inch She was very abrasive and aggressive, and so i think she selected on Beverly because she's type of quiet. The shrimp factor stored approaching and honestly, I have never witnessed Beverly no longer working hard. I'd need to have Beverly's task to understand how lengthy it might take or otherwise, but she never was slacking off.What exactly are you so far?Nyesha: I am attempting to awaken! [Laughs] We have been crazy busy with holiday parties [at Wilshire Restaurant]. We are doing like 300 covers a evening. Individuals are arriving after watching the show and it is been quite interesting.

'Kathy Griffin: Tired Hooker' Tackles Hugh Jackman's Broadway 'Fabulousness' (Exclusive Video)
TLC It would appear members of the conservative Florida Family Association are among the few actually paying attention to TLC's All-American Muslim.our editor recommendsRussell Simmons Calls for Lowe's Boycott, Personally Buys Ad Time on 'All-American Muslim'Travel Web Site Kayak Also Pulled Ads from TLC's 'All-American Muslim' (Report)Jon Stewart Skewers TLC, Lowe's Over 'American Muslim' Boycott'All-American Muslim' Targeted by PETA The reality series about Muslim families living in suburban Detroit, which lost advertising from Lowe's and other brands after FAA condemned it as propaganda, is languishing in the ratings. PHOTOS: 10 of TV's Biggest Television Show Controversies Only five episodes into its first season, the series ranked 78th among Sunday's cable broadcasts for Dec. 11. With only 908,000 viewers and a 0.3 rating among adults 18-49, it's being easily outperformed by series like History's American Pickers, Discovery's Moonshiners and its latest lead-in, Little People Big World: Holiday Surprise. This recent episode, which aired two days after news broke of Lowe's controversial departure as advertiser, continued a downward trend in numbers, not benefiting at all from the added attention. It dropped from a .4 rating in the key demo from the previous week, and fell below the 1-million mark for the first time. REVIEW: 'All-American Muslim' All-American Muslim did not get off to a terrible start, either. Boosted by a lead-in from the successful Sister Wives, its Nov. 13 premiere earned a 0.9 rating among adults 18-49 and 1.74 million viewers. It dropped 55 percent in its second outing to a 0.5 rating and 1.17 million viewers and continued a steady decline from there. So will there be no silver lining to all of the drama? The real test for how the series could get a boost from the attention will come with the Dec. 18 broadcast. Though the Lowe's story broke Dec. 9, it didn't gain momentum until this week, when celebrities such as Russell Simmons and Mia Farrow publicly threw their support behind the show. And it should not be forgotten how well scandal has treated TLC in the past. Nearly 10 million tuned in to watch Jon and Kate Gosselin's marriage unravel on the 2009 premiere of Jon & Kate Plus 8, doubling its previous ratings high after a few weeks of tabloid attention.

Filming 'The Girl Using the Dragon Tattoo': David Fincher's ABBA Snafu

Within this month's problem of Wired, the director revealed an ABBA-related problem that came about while filming 'The Girl Using the Dragon Tattoo.'

Fincher continues to go over the building of 'Dragon Tattoo' together with actress Rooney Mara's already-buzzed-about performance. Read the whole profile over on Wired.

Dish profit increases 30%
Dish Network, the more compact from the nation's two satellite tv stations, saw profit and revenue rise last quarter but lost 111,000 customers, stating intense competition -- including heavy discounting by rivals -- an inadequate housing industry minimizing discretionary investing by customers. The Englewood, Colo.-based company, which in fact had nearly 14 million subs by Sept. 30, stated profit rose 30% to $319 million on lower costs from adding less customers. Revenue was up 12% to $13.six million. "Because the pay TV industry matures, we and our rivals progressively must aim to attract a larger proportion of recent customers from each other peoples existing customer bases instead of from first-time customers of pay TV services," the organization stated. "A lot of our rivals happen to be especially aggressive by providing reduced programming and services for new and existing customers. Additionally, programming offered on the internet is becoming more widespread because the quality and speed of broadband systems have enhanced." Boss Joe Clayton stated that moving forward Dish intends to develop the momentum of their Blockbuster-top quality programming service, which enables its clients to stream movies and television shows and receive Dvd disks by mail. The quarter was the first to completely incorporate Blockbuster, which Dish acquired from personal bankruptcy for around $240 million. In the finish from the three-month period, Blockbuster still operated over 1,500 stores within the U.S. Dish stated it's discussed flexible termination provisions within the rents in excess of 900 of those stores. Bigger rival DirecTV a week ago stated it added 327,000 customers within the third quarter, due simply to the exclusive National football league Sunday Ticket.

Michelle Yeoh Met With Standing Ovation at AFI Fest Premiere of The Lady
Friday night at the 2011 AFI Fest, the seats in the historic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre weren’t quite filled to capacity for the gala screening of Luc Besson’s The Lady, which received mildly lukewarm reviews on the festival circuit. But, as it did at its premiere in Toronto, the biopic of Burmese democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi received a standing ovation at AFI Fest — one clearly directed primarily at star and Oscar hopeful Michelle Yeoh. The film itself, a lengthy, somewhat pedestrian retelling of the experiences of Suu Kyi as a British housewife and mother-turned-opposition leader, is slightly less concerned with the politics of its heroine than with the sacrifices she and her family made as, over the course of two decades, she was placed under house arrest by Burma’s military junta and increasingly separated from her loved ones. The entire final third of the film is dominated by her marriage to Dr. Michael Aris (David Thewlis, who’s given too much rope — and plays opposite himself as Aris’s twin in one showy scene), highlighting Suu Kyi’s emotional anguish and Sophie’s choice. See Michelle Yeoh, Leonardo diCaprio, and more stars in Movieline’s 2011 AFI Fest gallery. But even as Suu Kyi’s political motivations are opaque, and her villainous Burmese military enemies cartoonish, Yeoh’s stoic, graceful performance, and the film’s noble intentions, make it all worthwhile. (For a deeper film account of Burma’s modern troubling political and human rights circumstances, start with the 2008 doc Burma VJ and go from there.) Joining Luc Besson and co-star Thewlis at the AFI Fest premiere, Yeoh briefly walked onstage during the film’s introduction to wave to the audience. When the lights went up, with Sade’s “Soldier of Love” — an unusual choice, but hey, it’s Luc Besson — playing over the end credits, it gradually dawned on the audience that Yeoh was still sitting among them. All eyes turned towards her, and section by section the crowd jumped to its feet in rapt appreciation — to some measure honoring Suu Kyi vicariously, simultaneously.

Hilary Swank, Jean-Claude Van Damme Slammed for Attending Birthday of Chechen Leader
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said he didn't want a fuss for his 35th birthday party but that didn't stop his friends from throwing a multimillion-dollar bash attended by Hilary Swank and Jean-Claude Van Damme.our editor recommendsJean-Claude Van Damme Denies Suffering Heart Attack On-SetEXCLUSIVE: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank, Ashton Kutcher Making 'New Year's Eve' Plans Kevin Costner was invited to the Oct. 5 event but declined due to his production schedule on the Hatfields and McCoys television series -- a development that in retrospect, was a gift from the public-relations gods. Eva Mendes and Colombian singer Shakira also were invited but did not attend. A spokesman for Mendes says the actress was never scheduled to attend the event "due to availability." According to Human Rights Watch, Kadyrov presides over law enforcement and security agencies that have been implicated in abductions, torture and executions of those suspected of involvement in the Islamist insurgency in Chechnya. Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, called the stars' attendance at the celebration "disheartening and shameful." PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now? According to the Human Rights Foundation, Jean-Claude Van Damme stood on stage and said, "I love you Mr. Kadyrov" while Swank said she was honored to be in Grozny and wished Kadyrov a "Happy Birthday." After Swank spoke, British violinist Vanessa-Mae performed for a reported half a million dollars. There were fireworks and performances by acrobats. The celebration was held on a floating stage on the River Sunzha; portraits of Kadyrov were displayed throughout the city. According to one talent rep, stars are paid in the six figures to attend such events. Their perks routinely include private jets and first-class hotel suites. PHOTOS: 10 Entertainers Democrats and Republicans Love to Hate Human rights activists raised concerns with Swank's representatives before the event. According to the Human Rights Foundation, her manger, Jason Weinberg, stated in an email on Sept 26, "Hilary has no current plans to attend the party" in Chechnya. But both Swank and Van Damme are visible at the lavish event in photographs and on YouTube. Weinberg did not respond to a query from THR; nor did reps for Van Damme. "Hilary Swank obviously has the right to earn a living entertaining the highest bidder, but this sort of venality should be exposed - especially after claiming she was not going," Halvorssen said in a statement. "Would she have accepted an invitation to entertain Pinochet? Al-Qaeda? The apartheid government in Pretoria? We must remember the disgrace of Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, Beyoncé and 50 Cent were exposed to after singing for Gaddafi's family and earning millions of dollars for it." PHOTOS: The Most Talked-About TV News Faces Kadyrov had said the celebrations, financed by the Kremlin, were held in honor of the 193rd anniversary of the founding of Grozny, Chechnya's capital. That anniversary was actually pushed to coincide with Kadyrov's birthday. According to the British paper The Telegraph, Kadyrov appeared uncertain when asked who paid for the party. ''Allah gives it to us,'' he said, before adding: ''I don't know, it comes from somewhere.'' Related Topics Hilary Swank Jean-Claude Van Damme Kevin Costner

Adam Lamberts Second Album Slated for First Quarter Release
RCA Records A week ago would be a whirlwind at RCA Records as the organization formally confirmed it had been absorbing storied labels Arista, Jive and J. One of the casualties of consolidation: The American Idol Show champion Lee DeWyze, whose selection for future tracks wasn't acquired. our editor recommendsFirst Look: Adam Lambert as Mentor on 'Majors & Minors' (Exclusive)Adam Lambert 'Leading the Charge as well as in Control' of recent Album, States Songwriter However the restructuring still leaves lots of active Idols around the roster, including season 1 victor Kelly Clarkson, whose new album More powerful arrives March. 21, season 5 finalistChris Daughtry, whose latest, Break the Spell, arrives November. 21, and season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert, among the greatest non-champion success tales to leave the show. STORY:RCA Executives Confirm Jive and Arista Labels Shut Lower Lambert's second studio album continues to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2012, thanks mainly to the prosperity of his debut, For The Entertainment, that is thisclose to being licensed platinum for sales more than a million models. However the follow-up has seen a couple of delays: first, when Lambert switched management in the center of it cycle, and again, by their own admission, due to his "perfectionist" character. "Here's the offer: there has been a few creative set backs around the first single," he tweeted on Sunday. "Mainly cuz I'm a perfectionist. '. Appears as if the only will explode in November. I'm sorry for that delay- but believe me, it's worthwhile.Inch Younger crowd authored, "by now, album is going to be launched early in the year. February/march?" RCA Records COO Tom Corson echoed that sentiment, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "We moved the album back since the creative process continues to be unfolding." The executive notes it's "not because we are not looking forward to what we have got, we simply think we are able to top it, but we are immediately around the cusp." For his part, Lambert continues to be tweeting semi-regular updates on his Twitter feed as well as revealing clips of lyrics, for example: "Lost inside communication breakdown / Better just read my lips / Comin' in clearer whenever we get lower / Iceberg / Only the tip" and "All along, I attempted to pretend it didn't matter basically was alone." STORY:RCA Records' Peter Edge and Tom Corson on Why the Label Cut down and it is Devote The new sony's Large Picture (Q&A) It has been noted that Lambert is "using the reins" about this album much much more than you are on his debut, and Corson concurred: "Adam is certainly more involved than ever before and i believe he's really taking pleasure in that. Individuals first records whenever you appear of Idol, the timelines are actually tight, therefore it's a man-made experience. Now he's room to breathe and time, he doesn't need to appear TV, onto an excursion after which come with an album out for Christmas." However, RCA Boss Peter Edge opined that AmericanIdol was an ideal platform to have an artist like Lambert. "Adam is a superb example [of how] whenever you're right for your type of format, it's a quick method of getting attention," he told THR. "I don't realize that Adam Lambert might have thought it was easy to obtain a record deal, but in the show, you saw how unique he was, such a great voice and great artist he was. That could have been very difficult to do through conventional ways." Then when will his as-yet-to-be-entitled full-length possibly visit a release date? "Feb, March -- somewhere inside,Inch states Corson. "Certainly first quarter." Twitter: @shirleyhalperin, @idol_worship Kelly Clarkson The American Idol Show RCA Records Tom Corson Peter Edge

Disney unveils additional 3D re-releases
'Finding Nemo'Prompted by unexpected success of "The Lion King" 3D retrofit, Disney announced that it will re-release 3D versions of animated pics including "Beauty and the Beast," "Finding Nemo," "Monsters, Inc." and "The Little Mermaid." Studio has dated the pics to bow over the next two years. Up first, "Beauty and the Beast" unspools on Jan. 13, followed by "Finding Nemo" on Sept. 14. The 2013 pair, "Monsters, Inc." and "The Little Mermaid," will bow on Jan. 18 and June 21, respectively. Pixar's "Monsters University," a prequel to "Monsters, Inc." is skedded to hit theaters in 3D June 21, 2013. "The Lion King" 3D retread surprised B.O. observers when it opened three weeks ago to a chart-topping $30 million, followed by a surprisingly resilient sophomore sesh. So far, the pic has totaled nearly $80 million at the domestic B.O., with an additional $20 million in overseas grosses. In general, 3D conversions take about five to eight months to complete, depending on complexity and length of the film. It's not surprising that Disney slotted "Beauty and the Beast" first, given that a 3D version of the toon is already completed. In fact, the Mouse originally planned to release a "Beauty" 3D treatment before "The Lion King," but decided instead to release "Beauty" for a two-week trial run at L.A.'s El Capitan theater that ended Sept 15. "Great stories and great characters are timeless, and at Disney we're fortunate to have a treasure trove of both," Walt Disney Studios prexy Alan Bergman said in a statement. And while B.O. figures for "Lion King" are promising (even 3D, which has a reported 93% of the pic's total), many bizzers still debate how much of a boost 3D upcharges bring to studios' bottom lines. In 2010, 3D's contribution to a pic's overall B.O. ranged from about 50% to as high as 80%. This year, the domestic figure is down to roughly 45%. But pics are still seeing more formidable 3D returns overseas, with the format accounting for about 60%-70% of a film's international take. That's even in territories where the upcharge is a bigger percentage of ticket prices than domestically. With "The Lion King," Disney benefited from marketing the film as a 3D event, with only a few 2D showtimes each day. And according to investment consulting group Clear Scope Partners' most recent quarterly report, animated films can cost significantly less to convert to 3D than live action pics, and ticket upcharges more than help cover the cost of conversion. "The 3D ticket price made it profitable to offer films in 3D for all but a few titles since 2007, which on average earned $17 million in excess of the cost of conversion," the report stated. That makes future 3D conversions viable, particularly for films like "Lion King," which already have a wide familiarty. Of the titles to be converted, 2003's "Finding Nemo" has earned the most, with $867.6 million worldwide, followed by "Monsters, Inc.," which grossed $526.9 million globally and sold 11 million home video units during its first week. But the Mouse's hand-drawn pics were major B.O. hits of their time: "Beauty" totaled $380.4 million worldwide in 1991; "Little Mermaid," $228.9 million in 1989. With new generations discovering the toons, these pics continue to expand their fanbase long after their theatrical release, thanks to merchandising and ancilliaries. Last year, Disney reported a total $28.6 billion in consumer product revenues -- far more than any other studio. (Marc Graser contributed to this report.)

'Game Of Thrones' At The Emmys: Producers Tease Season Two
"Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage, just like a true Lannister, walked away from the 2011 Emmy Awards with a big victory under his belt in the Best Supporting Actor category. It was the only major win for the HBO series at this year's show, but those of you who've read the books already know that we haven't seen anything yet in other words, if you enjoyed the first season, the next season of "Thrones" is sure to deliver countless sleepless nights and an equal number of future Emmys. "Thrones" is currently shooting its second season, taking its cues from the second novel in author George R.R. Martin's series, "A Clash of Kings." As the title implies, the next time viewers are invited to breathe in the wintery winds of Westeros, there will be many kings, many clashes, and many, many shocks and surprises. "Everybody is in danger," co-showrunner David Benioff told MTV News on the red carpet of the Emmys last night (September 18). "It's one of the things we loved about the books, and it's true of the series as well: any of the characters, no matter how important, can die in any episode. And it's not a very special episode of 'Game of Thrones,' it's just that that's how life is in this world." Viewers got their first taste of that stunning death-is-life philosophy in the second to last episode of "Thrones'" first season no spoilers here, you either know what I'm talking about or you don't and the surprises won't end there, certainly not when there's war in the mix. "This season is kind of the drive to war for all of these different warring factions that have been building up," said Benioff's co-showrunner, D.B. Weiss. "They start to move against each other and come to blows with each other." "A Song of Ice and Fire" purists can take heart in the knowledge that Benioff and Weiss have no intentions of straying too far away from Martin's source material, though they maintain that they'll deviate from the story's path if necessary. "We can do what we want, there's no contract saying we have to be faithful to the books," said Benioff. "We happen to love the books, the characters in our show are quite faithful to the characters [in the books], and George R.R. Martin is a wonderful plotter so we don't want to screw anything up if we don't have to. That said, we're going to have to deviate from time to time." Is that good news for fans of Jason Momoa? His character, the impossibly badass Khal Drogo, died quite unexpectedly in the first season, but Momoa himself has insisted that he'll make a "Thrones" comeback. "Jason's got a big mouth, but we'll see. We'll see what happens," Benioff offered. Tell us what you think in the comments section and on Twitter!Watch Online The Hangover 2
Netflix to spin off DVD-by-mail biz
Netflix intends to separate its streaming and rental-by-mail companies into separate divisions within the coming days. The organization hopes the brand new division, named Qwikster, can help it stabilize its customer base and revive its share prices. To assist revive consumer interest, the organization intends to add videogames to its rental options too. Also within the note, Boss and co-founder Reed Hastings acknowledged the overwhelming negative feedback to recent cost changes at the organization, saying, "I screwed up. I owe everybody a reason.Inch The publish was probably the most obvious public acknowledgement by the organization it mishandled the current decision to split up subscription costs because of its streaming and DVD rental service, effectively raising the rates for those who activated to both by 60%. Many people felt we didn't have respect and humbleness in the manner we introduced the separation of DVD and streaming, and also the cost changes," Hastings stated. "Which was definitely not our intent, and that i offer my sincere apology. When Netflix is changing quickly, I have to be extra-communicative. This is actually the key factor I acquired wrong. In hindsight, I slid into arrogance based on past success.'' Clients will quickly must see Qwikster.com to include Dvd disks for their queue. The relaunched service will even add videogames to its inventory, a move many experts happen to be advocating. The organization intends to offer game titles for that Xbox 360 360, Ps 3 and Wii. People happen to be requesting videogames for several years, now that DVD by mail features its own team, we're finally setting it up done," Hastings stated. The Netflix and Qwikster sites won't be integrated, developing new hurdles for clients. Altering charge card information, for instance, will need customers to log onto each site individually making the alterations. The websites will apparently also not share recommendation information for rental fees made following the separation, that could significantly affect recommended films. Andy Rendich, that has brought the DVD division for 4 years (along with a person in it within the last 12), is going to be Qwikster's Boss. The choice to split the organization, states Hastings, came following the realization the divisions had different cost structures and marketing needs. It is also designed to allow Netflix to enhance its streaming service, the business's large wager for future years, and something facing elevated competition from Amazon . com and Walmart, among others. Netflix shares fell 26% over 2 days a week ago after the organization decreased its third-quarter customer estimations by a million. Shares are lower 12% to date this season.
