'Real Steel' Is Now a Date Movie, According to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Why go to the movie theater with a bunch of schlubs when you can rent the entire thing out yourself? That's what star couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez decided to do when they attended a private screening of -- wait for it -- 'Real Steel' at a multiplex in Canada. Can't say we blame them: If paparazzi cameras were shoved in our face every three seconds, we'd want a little time to ourselves, too. Gomez had been in Winnipeg, Manitoba for her concert tour when she and Bieber were spotted going into the cinema. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that the couple allegedly had cheese pizza delivered to them during the screening as well. Either way, we are surprised with the 'Real Steel' movie pick; 'Footloose' seems like a better choice for a date film. Gomez can be seen next in a cameo role in the upcoming 'Muppets' movie, out Nov. 23.

Piracy act galvanizes sides

As confident as Hollywood's lobby is the fact that a significant bit of anti-piracy legislation might find passage this season, the uncertainty is whether or not a vocal opposition can create any significant turbulence because it makes its way through Congress. On Tuesday, a coalition of economic and labor groups hit Capitol Hill to press the situation the Safeguard IP Act helps you to save jobs, a typical theme nowadays, because it is targeted at halting the trafficking of counterfeit and infringing goods including movies, Television shows and music on the web. The legislation, which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee all in May and it is likely to be introduced this month in the home, is targeted at beefing in the government's capability to seek court orders to seal lower so-known as "rogue" websites, individuals devoted to infringing activities. Additionally, it has provisions to compel payment processors, ad systems, search engines like google and Internet companies to do something to curb support of these sites. "We're not wiped out through the bootlegging of the movie. However, this costs vast amounts of dollars and 100s of 1000's of jobs," stated Paul Almeida, prexy from the department for professional employees in the AFL-CIO, in an event on Capitol Hill. Despite the fact that the Safeguard IP Act to date has bipartisan support -- a rarity inside a polarized Congress -- competitors also provide been anxious to exhibit oneness on the finish. A week ago, Tea Party Patriots arrived on the scene from the bill, and associated with an editorial in the progressive group Demand Progress and also the org Don't Censor the Internet which expressed opposition. Inside a Facebook publish, the Tea Party group authored, "Have your personal website? Maybe the federal government will shut it lower tomorrow ... with no notice for you. Republicans are likely to introduce this in the home, Dems within the Senate. WHAT??? Large Labor, Hollywood, U.S. Chamber of Commerce all within this together...against you." Recently, a lot more than 135 entrepreneurs, including Twitter's Evan Williams and Zynga's Mark Pincus, blanketed congress by having an open letter warning the law will stifle innovation and chill investment. Amongst other things, they contended the bill's meaning of a "rogue" site was too vague. Additionally they reported one of the most questionable provisions from the bill, one which enables private organizations to consider law suit against payment processors and ad businesses that support sites trafficking in infringing material. They contended that this type of provision could hobble online companies with pricey and extended lawsuit, a sentiment shared through the Electronic Devices Assn. Google's Eric Schmidt also offers expressed opposition, and there is suspicion among showbiz insurance supporters that the organization helps third-party groups form more organized opposition. Unclear is whether or not the opposition is going to be enough to slow or stall the legislation. A speaker for Repetition. Lamar Cruz (R-Texas), stated Smith's team is wishing introducing its version from the bill sometime this month, with Repetition. Bob Goodlatte (R-Veterans administration.), chair of the subcommittee on the web, one of the backers. The balance to date has 31 co-sponsors within the Senate, the newest being Sen. Tim Manley (D-S.D.), who added his title on Monday. Its chief opponent is Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), stating First Amendment concerns. He put a "hold" around the legislation soon after it removed the Senate Judiciary Committee. Yet industry insurance supporters still expect it to really make it towards the floor, but now you ask , how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) would basically bypass Wyden and achieve this by cloture election or whether some type of agreement is going to be arrived at. Advocates stress that support goes well beyond Hollywood, where it's backed by galleries and all sorts of the unions and guilds, for an unlikely alliance which includes the Chamber of Commerce and also the AFL-CIO. Political strategist Mark McKinnon moderated a panel backed through the Chamber on Tuesday that stressed the legislation's effect on the economy in addition to its impact beyond Hollywood. Iowa resident Glenda Billerbeck spoke of a buddy who unconsciously purchased tainted prescription medications from the site offering counterfeit medicine. Panelist Sandra Aistars, professional director from the Copyright Alliance, stated critique from the legislation is comparable to opposition to past copyright legislation. "Many of these issues happen to be rebutted," she stated, observing the offer the legislation has brought from First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams. "It's tough to give real credence towards the arguments we're hearing." Another panelist, Dork Tognotti, general counsel of Monster Cable, stated the organization devotes 25 of 500 employees to fighting sites that counterfeit its items. "It will get incrementally worse each week,Inch he stated. The best challenge might be obtaining the legislation on lawmakers' radar screens as Congress takes up deficit reduction and also the sputtering economy. McKinnon, co-chair of Arts+Labs, an org of tech and content companies, stated, "This really is legislation which has very broad bipartisan support. The irony could it be is organized and hidden by problems that are much more contentious." Contact Ted Manley at ted.manley@variety.com

CSI Cheers Up With Ted Danson

Ted Danson, Marg Helgenberger It's hard to imagine Sam Malone from Cheers needing a maggot wrangler. "I've never seen anything like it," Ted Danson says. Even with silver hair, the Emmy-winning actor looks like a kid who just pulled apart his first earthworm. "You can tell how long a human body has been decomposing by the size of the bugs crawling inside!" And the wrangler's got every variety. "It's incredible, until you think, 'Oh, God. We're talking about dead people.'" Everybody's favorite TV barkeep is once again serving cold ones - only now he's zipping them inside body bags. The surprising new choice to head the Las Vegas crime lab on CSI brings an iconic face to the world's most venerable procedural. Danson, also known for Damages and Bored to Death, takes over for Laurence Fishburne as CSI's leading man in Season 12, and hopes to breathe some life back into the formerly top-rated series. Sitting in a conference room dotted with grisly crime photos on the L.A. set, Danson says his biggest challenge is, "How can a guy like me, who looks for the joy in every situation, make the transition to the land of triple homicides?" He shrugs. "And, hey, I'm also a hypochondriac and run from violence - we're talking major stretch." At least everybody knows his name. As new CSI supervisor D.B. Russell, Danson, 63, appears to have transitioned nicely into a cast as tightly knit as any on TV. Three of his new work buddies - Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows), George Eads (Nick Stokes) and Paul Guilfoyle (Las Vegas police captain Jim Brass) - have been part of CSI's cast for all 250-plus episodes. That meant Danson had to work his charm even before he arrived on set. "He called me two or three times just to say, 'Hey, what's up?'" Eads says. "I was like, 'Not much. Um, who's this?' He's, like, 'It's Ted.' I go, 'Ted? Oh, Ted Danson! Sorry, man. How the heck are ya?'" (To further ingratiate himself, Danson has sprung for on-set massages and a shaved-ice truck for the crew.) Helgenberger admits she raised an eyebrow when she heard he was coming to CSI. "You think Ted Danson and you mainly think comedy," she says. "But pretty quickly, I said, 'OK, yeah, that makes sense.'" Word around Hollywood after Fishburne's departure last summer was that CBS would cast another intense actor. But with ratings flagging - the show finished at No. 30 last season among viewers ages 18 to 49 - it was time for a reboot. "We wanted to get back to the excitement of the first few seasons and Ted fits our needs exactly," says executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. "Having Ted around brightens every scene and adds a deeper emotional layer than we've seen in many years." Still, even Danson was surprised. He received the offer last summer as he was waiting to see a movie in Martha's Vineyard, where he and his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, have a vacation house. Danson had been looking for ways to avoid traveling for work now that he has grandchildren in L.A. A weekly gig on an established show was a no-brainer. "The lights in the theater were going down so I didn't have long to react," he says. "My first thought was 'Wow.' My second thought was 'Yes!'" D.B. Russell isn't like other CSIs. After blustery boss Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and divisive newbie Ray Langston (Fishburne), Russell looks like Mr. Happy. His slowly unfolding backstory is that he's a former lit major and child of beatnik folk singers who comes to Vegas from Seattle with his still unseen wife and four kids. "What we love is that Russell is unconventional and at odds with authority, having grown up going to peace rallies and sit-ins," Mendelsohn says. "But he's also a devoted family man who thrives on the chaos of the lab because he's raising a bunch of teenagers." To prepare for the role, Danson flew to Vegas to witness a real autopsy, a moment he calls a spiritual experience. "I held a guy's skull in my hands as another guy scooped his brain out," he says. "It was an incredible reminder of how valuable and fragile life is. This sort of work forces you to reflect on every moment you're alive." Later on the set, Danson and Helgenberger, in requisite rubber gloves, are going through a box of evidence in the CSI lab. The scene is for an upcoming episode called "CSI Down," and they're looking for clues to track a murder suspect who just hijacked a medevac helicopter. Helgenberger seems as cool as the steel table below her, but Danson is keyed up. He's flubbed a few takes and now wants to open the scene mid-sentence to make it feel more conversational. His agitation is useful since Russell is desperate to save CSI Morgan Brody (Elisabeth Harnois), who is on board the helicopter. Two more takes and Danson nails it. "In comedy, you never have to say, 'OK, so this is what we're going to do,'" he says afterward. "Here, the dialogue is all about laying pipe for the next scene. It takes some getting used to." Helgenberger is quick to defend him: "Ted's a pro. He already feels like part of the fabric of the show."
