Cheers' Stars Reunite
Rhea Perlman and Kirstie Alley to Reunite
Rhea Perlman will reunite with longtime friend and former “Cheers” co-star Kirstie Alley in the pilot “Giant Baby,” it was announced today by Keith Cox, executive vice president, development and original programming, TV Land. Perlman will play Thelma, Maddie’s (Alley) long-suffering assistant and best friend, who encourages her boss to form a relationship with the son she gave up for adoption, Arlo (previously known as “Owen”). The network originally announced the Alley-headlined project as a presentation last month.
“We’ve hit the jackpot getting Kirstie and Rhea back together,” said Cox. “It’s a dream to work with such talented comedic actors like these ladies and create a show for them that’s funny and has interesting characters – ‘Giant Baby’ hits all of those notes.”
“Giant Baby” revolves around Madison “Maddie” Banks, a Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo, her long-lost son, turns up looking to connect after his adopted mother has died. However, Maddie doesn’t exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. When her attempt to change Arlo backfires, Maddie finds that perhaps they both could use a little change in their lives.
“Giant Baby” is written and executive produced by Marco Pennette and is also executive produced by Kirstie Alley and Jason Weinberg. Larry W. Jones and Keith Cox serve as executive producers for TV Land.

Franco's Film for Weitzman
Stuart Weitzman Debuts
'Walking After Midnight'
Directed by James Franco

Stuart Weitzman, the American shoe designer knows how to merge fashion, sex appeal and style into each of his designs. This ingenuity led to the decision to enlist the multi-faceted actor, author, artist, producer, screenwriter, poet and director James Franco to creatively bring the brand philosophy to life on the social media small screen. The dynamic brand film, a series of four vignettes, stars Stuart Weitzman shoes worn by supermodel Petra Nemcova.
Inspired by the ‘80s movie Mondo New York, the short film follows a young woman on a midnight fantasy stroll into the rarified underground scene of New York City. Stuart Weitzman stilettos and boots walk and explore the downtown streets and gain entry into the city’s most sought-out after party at the legendary Le Baron nightclub, Peels restaurant, the Hole gallery and Freeman’s Alley.
Set to a modern remake of the classic Patsy Cline song, “Walking After Midnight” by the band Girl in a Coma, the film captures the attributes of the Stuart Weitzman woman – independent, confident, sexy and playful – in a visually seductive and intriguing way. This chic and sophisticated woman lives in motion; she is as comfortable in her own skin as she is in her Stuart Weitzmans. The film illustrates that no matter how high the heel, Stuart Weitzman stilettos can take you from day to night – and early into the next morning.
“Walking After Midnight” will release the first of its four vignettes on Wednesday, Oct 3rd at 12:01 a.m. on the Stuart Weitzman Facebook page. Facebook and Twitter will fuel the conversation by encouraging people to engage in the ultimate viewing party, share the video, and step inside the metropolitan lifestyle of the heroine and her shoes as captured by James Franco. Because a key theme of the film is the concept of “walking,” the hashtag #WALKON will be a trending topic on Twitter. The next three episodes will be released on consecutive “Weitzman Wednesdays” and the entire film will go live on October 26, 2012.

Ike & Tina Turner
Ike & Tina Turner
On the Road: 1971 - 1972
Available 20 November 2012
By combining soul music with an explosive stage show, complete with the high energy dance choreography of Tina Turner and the Ikettes, and an ingredient sorely missed in today's soul - gritty rock n' roll - Ike & Tina Turner gained a reputation as one of the great live acts of all-time. In the early 70's, legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen and his wife Nadya toured with Ike & Tina, filming them performing, on the road, and behind the scenes. Now for the first time ever this footage is available to the public... This is a look inside a hardworking band as well as an iconic couple
With portable video recorders not as prominent during that era as they are nowadays, no one has seen scenes like this. But with the release of Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72, fans are finally treated to a must-see behind-the-scenes view of the band, at the peak of their powers. Similar to an earlier DVD set, The New York Dolls: All Dolled Up, the Gruens toured with Ike & Tina and documented everything in black and white (and some color as well). Now, 40 years later, fans get to experience what it was like to be with one of the most popular touring/recording bands of this time period.
In addition to simply awesome renditions of several Ike & Tina classics, we also get a glimpse of the group at work in the recording studio, Tina and the Ikettes practicing their dance routines (and primping their wigs!), and goofing around on airplanes and in airports. We even get to see inside Ike & Tina's house and the couple's funky retro '70s home décor, as Tina cooks dinner for her kids.
A lot has been written about Ike and Tina's relationship over the years (mostly in the negative light). But for many years, they were able to coexist together in the public eye, and in the process, created some of the most exciting and gripping soul/rock music ever recorded. Now with Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72, we have a more than worthy visual accompaniment to their classic sounds.
"The film Whats Love Got To Do With It? shows why Ike and Tina Turner broke up," says Gruen. "Ike & Tina: On The Road: 1971-72 shows why Ike and Tina were together for twenty years before that."
