‘American Idol’ Production Company Working on Project With ‘thirtysomething’ Co-Creator About the Rise of One of the Most Hated Men in History
FremantleMedia, the production company behind “American Idol” and “X Factor,” is working on a project about the rise of one of the most hated men in history.
Yeah, we know this actor has a different name from that of the character he played years ago, but we’ve vowed not to acknowledge either his existence or the passage of time since THAT 70s SHOW.
Anyway here’s Ashton Kutcher you-know-who as Steve Jobs, proving something all of us who want to write TV need to know: Sometimes, no matter how well written a script is, a project – be it a show or a film – will still end up as shit because of the failure of some other element – production values, for example, the director, or, you know, the star.
And, yes, we’re predicting that jOBS, written by Matt Whiteley, will be one of those projects. Our advice: Read a copy of the script, which should be on the web soon (if it already isn’t), and then see the pic with your sense of humor firmly in place.
Yeah, we know this story is all over the interwebs, but it’s a slow news day, especially in showbiz. See, everybody who’s anybody is on vacation, and has been, since Thanksgiving and won’t be back in the proverbial saddle (AKA the casting couch) till after January 1st.
The A-Listers, and those behind-the-scenes types who control the destinies of said A-Listers (studio heads, attorneys, managers, agents, accountants) are all in Hawaii.
Yes, it’s true. It takes a brain to be creative. So those of you who don’t have one…hey, sorry:

We don’t normally associate neuroscience with creativity yet the study of the brain has much to contribute to what is set to be the premium topic of the 21st century.
Whoa, I just found out. (Thanks to my wonderful wife Gwen the Beautiful, who’d assumed I had the info all along.)
Turns out that Amazon.Com has this Cloud Reader app that lets you read any Kindle purchase on your computer, just like a PDF!
Yeah, I know how that sounds. I’m trying too hard with the positive spin thing, right? But I really do think this is cool…and the Kindle edition of Television Writing from the Inside Out costs 1/3 less than the PDF version did. And 3/3 less today and tomorrow because today and tomorrow it’s FREE.
