Food Network veteran Duff Goldman is recovering from a car crash in the Los Angeles area last week that crushed his dominant right hand, requiring stitches. He says it was caused by a drunken driver who “swerved into my lane on a windy country road.”
The Cake Masters star and Charm City Cakes owner told People today that he was being driven home from Lax when another car hit him head-on. He said he was left with a bad hand injury that will require a specialist’s care.
“It definitely doesn’t work,” he told the magazine about his hand. “And I need it to, because that’s all I got.”
He said he’s publicizing the incident because he wants to fans and social media followers not to drink and drive.

Disney rock personalities Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Dave Poche, and Scott "Smitty" Smith took to the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada on May 8th for the Imagination Movers 'Rock-o-Matic' tour. The band played to an ecstatic family friendly crowd and put on a fun performance for everyone in attendance. Disney Junior's TV series Imagination Movers is a staple in my household as both my two and three-year-old children watch it on a daily basis. I take no issue with this because the crew manages to produce some catchy rock oriented music every episode. Their live show is no different and although it's considerably stripped down compared to their TV show, the Movers still put on a fun show for the all-ages audience. It's hard not to take into consideration the sparse crowd at...

As soon as we thought we could predict the outcome of the Oscars, here comes another surprise! This one's brought to you by the Writers Guild of America. Picked for Best Original Screenplay was Christopher Nolan's "Inception." The director, famously dissed for not getting a Best Director Oscar nomination, may just win the Best Original Screenplay come Oscar night. Oscar front-runner, "The King's Speech" was not nominated because it didn't quality under union rules which prompted Nolan to say during his WGA acceptance award that he looked forward to a time when he could accept the award "without qualification."
That could be the beginning of a great script Mr. Nolan, go write it :happy
For adapted screenplay, I'm happy to report that Aaron Sorkin's fantastic script won! Based on "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich, "The Social Network" was the only film last year that I predicted to win this very category.

Wizards of Waverly Place (TV) may be buzz-worthy thanks to rising teen stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie, and Jake T. Austin, but beyond the young stars, the bits of magic and flights of fancy, the show works in large part thanks to its family underpinnings. There's love in the Russo house and that, probably more than anything else, is what enables WoWP to connect with viewers -- kids and parents alike. Much of the credit for that goes to David DeLuise and Maria Canals-Barrerra, who play Jerry and Theresa Russo, sharing terrific chemistry not just between the two of them, but also with Gomez, Henrie, and Austin. WoWP is currently in its third season and it's just been announced that the show will conclude after next season and a second WoWP made-for-television movie. We recently caught up with DeLuise -- son of the late comedy star Dom DeLuise and...

It’s back to square one for Joey Fatone and his wife, Kelly.
After the January birth of their second daughter, Kloey Alexandra, they felt a sense of déjà vu.
“It was like starting over again,” says Joey, 33. “Diapers, midnight feedings, all that. We hadn’t done it in nine years.”
The Fatones have quickly found their rhythm in taking care of a newborn. They don’t employ a nanny, instead taking turns as they care for Kloey, now 5 months old.

As hard as it may be to believe sometimes, someone (or someones) actually sits down and writes a movie or TV show before you end up seeing it at your local multiplex or on your favorite TV network. The people who do the sitting and the writing are, surprisingly, called writers and, like the Directors, the Golden Globes and the Oscars, they have their own awards show.
This week, the Writers Guild of America, which is the trade group and advocate for writers, announced its nominations for outstanding achievement in feature film and television, radio, news, promotional writing, and graphic animation during the 2009 season to be honored at the upcoming 2010 Writers Guild Awards on February 20, 2010, in Los Angeles and New York.
We realize that these nominations may not be as glamorous as the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but we kinda like writers around here and think they do a pretty important job.

I have to say that I probably would have loved the entire thing if I was a four-year-old who loves Cinderella, or the parent of a four-year-old who loves Cinderella. But as a jaded thirtysomething entertainment journalist I found it a bit disappointing that the whole thing looked so obviously...
