As if Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares weren’t enough, Gordon Ramsay will be hosting another television show called Gordon Ramsay, At Your Service. Only this time, the show will be stop-motion animation by the same team that brought you Celebrity Deathmatch on MTV, Cuppa Coffee Studios.

This idea is reminiscent of those Saturday morning cartoons that would involve a fictional world surrounding a particular celebrity, usually Jackie Chan or Mr. T. or someone like that. Will Gordon Ramsay moonlight as a chef by day and solve crimes at night? Will he fight food-based super-villains? Will his kitchen be his high-tech headquarters where everything is operated by ladle? Will he face down with other celebrity chefs like Emeril or Rachael Ray?

Given his penchant for strong language, I suspect either this will be shopped to one of the channels of more adult content (HBO, Showtime, etc.) or every word coming out of Ramsay’s clay mouth would be a beep.

After months of speculation that Twilight star Robert Pattinson might star in director Peter Berg’s upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” newbie gossip slangers Gossip Cop broke the scoop that Pattinson would be out of either the Dune role or his gig in Bel Ami, the sordid tale of a playboy adapted from Guy de Maupaussant’s short story. Naturally, Twi-hards rejoiced at the news that RPattz will keep the role in which he romances ladies left and right, rather than the one in which he puts his hand in a pain box and rides giant space sandworms. Will Dune fans agree?

Truth be told, Pattinson was never confirmed for the Dune cast but heavy speculation had him pegged to play the part of young Paul Atreides, the heir to a noble family in writer Herbert’s space opera. The character was previously played by Kyle MacLachlan in David Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation and by Alec Newman in the Sci-Fi Channel’s television miniseries Dune and Children of Dune. Berg’s version, according to Variety, is intended to be a tent pole-level event film and has potential to kick start an entirely new franchise.

Just when we started to think that things might be getting back to normal on House…

EW’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that Jennifer Morrison is being written out of House and that her last episode will air in November. I don’t want to say much more than that - details after the jump.

Stephen Root has had an incredibly prolific career. He may not be a headliner, but you always remember him as something that has influenced pop culture (usually NewsRadio or the movie Office Space). Now he will be adding to his long acting resumé by appearing on the Fox series 24 as a parole officer.

The wonderful thing about Root is how he can play a multitude of characters. To use the previous examples, his character on Office Space, Milton Waddams, is nothing like his character on NewsRadio, Jimmy James. Neither of them are like his character from True Blood, Eddie. Well, you get the idea.

I’m also impressed with his ability to go from comedy to drama and back while mastering both types of performance. Yes, I’m a Stephen Root fan.

This is an incredible gain for 24. I may tune in just to see what sort of character he’ll be playing in this one.

Clips and full episodes for 24 can be seen here.

It’s been nearly two months since Leonardo DiCaprio optioned a new project, and he must have thought we would start calling him lazy. In August, Monika reported that he had 25 projects in various stages of pre-production, and now you can add a 26th, as Variety says he’s attached to star in The Deep Blue Goodbye, an adaptation of John D. MacDonald’s 1964 thriller.

Goodbye is the first of MacDonald’s Travis McGee series, which spanned the course of 21 novels. McGee is like a beach bum version of James Bond, a bachelor who happily resides on a houseboat named the Busted Flush. (To add to his cool, he won it in a poker game.) He works as a freelance “salvage consultant,” which means he tries to retrieve money or property that a client has been wrongfully deprived of. His life is one of money, adventure, dames, and weird villains all set against sunny Florida, some of whom he’ll “bend way, way, over, but not break.” Sexy stuff!

To be fair, DiCaprio has reportedly been attached to produce and play McGee for some time, but the movie reporting world learned about it thanks to Fox’s new executive Peter Chernin, who is coming aboard Goodbye as producer alongside DiCaprio and his Appian Way partner Jennifer Davisson Killoran. Dana Stevens is penning the script, and the film does not yet have a start date. With DiCaprio’s ever growing slate, this post could be long forgotten by the time Goodbye sails in front of the camera.

† FROM DJ PAUL V.
OK, we’ve featured some fantastic mashups in the past. The best of the best, really. But I think I can honestly say that this week’s track is approaching amazeballs and features three stellar artists. Kings Of Leon’s Sex On Fire will never stop burning bright unto itself but meshed with Spaceman from The Killers, and snatches of T-Rex’s Bang A Gong, it becomes a whole new beast of jump-in-the-air rock goodness. Much kudos to Indy’s Lasso The Moon for crafting such a smooth & fiercely infectious blend. You can find this (along with more A+ mashups) in the Top 10 on the Bootie Blog.

† Listen to Spaceman On Fire (Bang A Gong) [.mp3 6.6mb] †

Enjoy - DJ Paul V.

good evening! i did a post about jordin sparks earlier today - and it got me thinking about what cutie blake lewis is up to … as you may recall blake came in 2nd place after ms. sparks was crowned the winner of the 6th season of american idol! although his debut album audio day dream wasn’t a huge commercial success - i really liked it - i even gave it an honorable mention in my top favorite albums of 2007! mr. lewis is about to drop his sophomore effort (october 6th on tommy boy) called heartbreak on vinyl - below is the video for the 1st single sad song - i’m not freaking out over the song but it’s decent - i can’t wait to hear more new material! he’s actually doing an intimate gig on october 8th to celebrate the new album - over at the roxy (my top LA haunt) i am so going to be there to cheer him on - he’s super adorable and quite talented! popbytes over & out for now … xoxo
