Johnny Marr the king of the jangly guitar and former Smiths guitar man has been banned from driving after being busted for speeding in Manchester. How fast was he going? 72 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone driving his Audi A5. Marr's lawyer says it's something he deeply regrets. I bet it is with that car! B.B. King has a movie coming out about his life. Directed by Jon Brewer it has been sanctioned by B.B. himself and he has had a lot of input as well. The film is titled B.B. King: the Life of Riley .. his real first name is Riley.. it tells the tale of a little boy who loved going to school, not so much love for church but respected his mother.. then.. his mother died and he helped his grandmother work the land but then she died. All that was by the time he was 9 or 10 years old. He became a sharecropper and earned $2.50 per month to pay for his rent and food. This will be a remarkable movie about survival and dreams. I can't wait to see it. The Jimi Hendrix Park is set to open in Seattle in 2012. The 2.5 acre park will be shaped like a guitar and contain lyrical stepping stones, rain drums, a sculpted butterfly garden, a performance area, sound garden and a green space as well as a fretboard shaped bridge. Queen have abandoned an attempt at a new album with Freddie's vocals. Drummer Roger Taylor said it was too much like a barrel-scraping exercise. Limp Bizkit have been dropped by their label Interscope Records. The Faces will be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame next year and when asked about reuniting to play together, Rod Stewart said, he would love it and that if they're all available he would make himself available. Look out SXSW 2012. Bruce Springsteen is confirmed as the keynote speaker. WHATEVER: Justin Bieber has a bandage on his left calf. Oh no! Demi Lovato shocked her dad by accidentally revealing a brand new tattoo during a convert. --------------------- The Boss joined Bob Seger in New York at Madison Square Garden and surprised the fans with some ole time rock and roll.

More Epic Mickey? and New Halo News - Press Pause Daily

Could more Epic Mickey action be on the way? And 343 Industries let drop some new details about the next Halo game at last weekend's PAX Prime in Seattle. SHOW NOTES: Story 1: On of the most anticipated games of last year was the Wii-exclusive title Epic Mickey. some would say also one the biggest let downs. Epic Mickey came from the celebrated game maker Warren Spector, and the game was a romp through the early history of Disney animation. Many felt that the game had great potential, but while the story was a good one, and the art direction very unique, the gameplay kept it from being great. Well according to a Destructoid story we might be getting a second dose of mickeyness. they made mention about a sequel to the game that would be released for the Wii, 360, and PS3. The game will supposedly feature two player split screen featuring Mickey Mouse alongside original Disney creation Oswald the Rabbit. Oswald the Rabbit? That’s a very curious name for a rabbit. Well we here at Press Pause are still skeptical that a rabbit is gonna save this franchise, but we WANT it to be awesome. Good luck Oswald. You got a full plate in front of ya. http://www.destructoid.com/looks-like-epic-mickey-2-may-be-in-development-210015.phtml Stor y 2: At last weekend’s PAX Prime in Seattle, members of 343 Industries revealed some details on Halo 4, as well as their new trilogy as a whole. Halo 4,5,and 6 will be part of what is being called “the Reclaimer” trilogy. The story will delve more into the Forerunners, and will show a different aspect of this mysterious race. 343 also wants to show more of Master Chiefs character and personality, as well as the relationship between the Chief and Cortana. So Halo fans rejoice! wait...are there Halo fans still? Didn't we all say at the beginning of this year we were over Halo? I'm tired of SAYING the word Halo. Well, those of you who want to put on the armor and cream over Master Chief some more...you got a trilogy comin’. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/28/halo-4-begins-the-reclaimer-trilogy/ http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-08-28-halo-4-5-6-the-reclaimer-trilogy That will do it for your daily dose of Press Pause.

This weeks Contenders.... Check out more cool stuff at www.icplaces.com Inception In Theatres and IMAX® Friday, July 16 Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in "Inception," an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the best in the dangerous art of extraction: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-- inception . Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse; their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production, a film by Christopher Nolan, "Inception." The film stars three-time Academy Award® nominee Leonardo DiCaprio ("Blood Diamond," "The Aviator"), Academy Award® nominee Ken Watanabe ("The Last Samurai"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("500 Days of Summer"), Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose"), Academy Award® nominee Ellen Page ("Juno"), Tom Hardy ("RocknRolla," "Bronson"), Cillian Murphy ("Batman Begins"), Academy Award® nominee Tom Berenger ("Platoon"), Dileep Rao ("Avatar"), and two-time Oscar® winner Michael Caine ("Hannah and Her Sisters," "The Cider House Rules"). "Inception" was written and directed by Oscar® nominee Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "The Dark Knight"), who also produced the film with Emma Thomas. Chris Brigham and Thomas Tull served as executive producers, with Jordan Goldberg co-producing. Nolan's behind-the-scenes collaborators included three-time Oscar®-nominated director of photography Wally Pfister ("The Dark Knight," "The Prestige," "Batman Begins"), production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"), two-time Oscar®-nominated editor Lee Smith ("The Dark Knight," "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"), Oscar®-nominated costume designer Jeffrey Kurland ("Bullets Over Broadway," "Collateral"), and Oscar®-nominated special effects supervisor Chris Corbould ("The Dark Knight"). The music is by Academy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer ("The Dark Knight," "The Lion King"). Concurrently with the film's nationwide theatrical release, "Inception: The IMAX Experience" will be released in select IMAX® theatres. "Inception" will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® through proprietary IMAX DMR® technology. With crystal clear images, laser-aligned digital sound and maximized field of view, IMAX provides the world's most immersive movie experience. "Inception" has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sequences of violence and action throughout. The Grease Sing-a-Long “GREASE” SING-A-LONG SELLS OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY Sold Out Shows Reported in Austin, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego and San Francisco – Ocala, FL Sells Out Entire Weekend “GREASE” fans everywhere have spoken. Sellouts have been reported in Austin, TX, Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Ocala, FL, San Diego, CA and San Francisco, CA for the upcoming exclusive engagements of “GREASE” Sing-A-Long. On the heels of promotional, standing room only outdoor screenings across the country, people have flocked to buy tickets for the limited engagements of the hit musical. John Travolta’s hometown, Ocala, FL, has reported all showings of the limited engagement are sold out. “GREASE” Sing-A-Long will begin playing TONIGHT in its first run of exclusive showings in 12 markets across the country. The first cities to show the film include: New York, NY (AMC Village); Los Angeles, CA (AMC Century City); Chicago, IL (AMC River East); San Francisco, CA (AMC Metreon); Boston, MA (AMC Boston Commons); Dallas, TX (AMC Northpark); Atlanta, GA (Regal Atlantic Station); Seattle, WA (AMC Pacific Place); Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, FL (Sunrise Gateway); San Diego, CA (AMC Fashion Valley); Austin, TX (Alamo Lamar); and Ocala, FL (Regal Hollywood). Paramount Pictures will expand the film to the following five additional cities on Thursday, July 15th: Houston, TX (Cinemark Woodlands 17); Orlando, FL (AMC Pleasure Island); Phoenix, AZ (AMC Esplanade); San Antonio, TX (STKS Palladium); and Detroit, MI (MJR Partridge Creek). These additional five cities were selected based on the results of an online poll, with fans across the country “demanding” the musical open in their city. The film is being distributed by Paramount Pictures under the newly created Insurge Pictures label. Ramona and Beezus The adventures of young Ramona Quimby (newcomer Joey King) and her big sister Beezus (Selena Gomez) come to life in this all new film based on the best-selling books (over 30 million…and counting) by Beverly Cleary. Ramona’s vivid imagination, boundless energy, and accident-prone antics keep everyone she meets on their toes. But her irrepressible sense of fun, adventure and mischief come in handy when she puts her mind to helping save her family’s home. John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot) also star as Ramona and Beezus’ parents, Robert and Dorothy Quimby, while Ginnifer Goodwin (He’s Just Not That Into You) portrays the girls’ Aunt Bea, opposite Josh Duhamel (Transformers) as Bea’s former flame, Hobart. Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) plays Ramona’s third grade teacher, Mrs. Meacham. Elizabeth Allen (Aquamarine) directs from a screenplay by Laurie Craig and Nick Pustay. Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan produce for Fox 2000 Pictures and Walden Media. The cinematographer is John Bailey, ASC; Brent Thomas is the production designer; and Jane Moran is the editor. Co-producer is Brad Van Arragon. Music is by Mark Mothersbaugh, and the music supervisor is Julia Michels. First published over 50 years ago, Beverly Cleary’s books have entertained several generations of readers. The cast and filmmakers of the first major motion picture based on Cleary’s series – RAMONA AND BEEZUS – typifies the books’ cross-generational appeal. The film’s Ramona, Joey King, began reading the book series before she was cast in the role. Selena Gomez, the on-screen Beezus, had read the books in elementary school. “I love how Beverly writes the characters,” says the popular singer-actress. “We wanted to do justice to Beverly and her work, and to make her proud. We all did our homework and worked really hard to be true to the characters. I think this movie is going to be a fun family experience.” “I grew up on the Ramona books, as did my mother who passed them down to me,” says Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Ramona and Beezus’ Aunt Bea. “I think the way the books are passed down from parent to child is what’s magical about the whole series. The thing that really struck me when I reread the books was how Beverly Cleary captured the childhood experience.” For the filmmakers, the process of turning the books into a major motion picture brought up strong feelings of nostalgia. “It’s a unique privilege to be able to make a movie that’s based on something so integral to one’s childhood,” says producer Alison Greenspan, who worked tirelessly to secure the motion picture rights to the beloved books.

The Invention of Lying From Ricky Gervais, the award-winning creator and star of the original BBC series "The Office" and HBO's "Extras," comes the new romantic comedy "The Invention of Lying." "The Invention of Lying" takes place in an alternate reality in which lying--even the concept of a lie--does not exist. Everyone--from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street--speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves. "The Invention of Lying" stars Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner ("Juno"), Jonah Hill ("Superbad"), comedian Louis C.K., Jeffrey Tambor (TV's "Arrested Development") and Fionnula Flanagan ("Yes Man"), with Rob Lowe (TV's "Brothers and Sisters") and Tina Fey ("Baby Mama," TV's "30 Rock"). The comedy is written and directed by Ricky Gervais & Matthew Robinson. The film is produced by Lynda Obst ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "Sleepless in Seattle"), Oly Obst, Gervais and Dan Lin ("Terminator Salvation," "Shorts"), Sue Baden-Powell, Ted Field, Paris Kasidokostas Latsis and Terry Dougas serving as executive producers. The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Tim Suhrstedt ("17 Again"); editor Chris Gill ("28 Weeks Later"); production designer Alexander Hammond ("Flightplan"); costume designer Susie DeSanto ("13 Going on 30"); and composer Tim Atack ("Among Giants").

At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work. Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase ("Chuck") as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs ("The Book of Daniel") as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement") as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi ("Greek") as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie ("Mad Men") as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover ("30 Rock") as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong ("The Hangover") as Spanish professor, Señor Chang. "Community" is a Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap, Russo Brothers production, Universal Media Studios production in association with Sony Pictures Television. Russ Krasnoff ("The Soloist"), Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program"), Joe Russo ("Arrested Development"), Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development"), Garrett Donovan ("Scrubs"), Neil Goldman ("Scrubs") and Gary Foster ("The Soloist") serve as executive producers. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot, written by Harmon. COMMUNITY BIOGRAPHIES JOEL MCHALE Jeff Winger Joel McHale stars as Jeff Winger, a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." McHale is poised to make 2009 a breakout year. In addition to his starring role in "Community," he recently wrapped production on the Steven Soderbergh directed, Warner Independent dark, comedic thriller "The Informant" opposite Matt Damon. In the film, he plays an FBI agent working with agri-business insider Mark Whitacre (Damon) to stop a price-fixing scam. The film, based on Kurt Eichenwald’s 2000 bestseller, "The Informant: A True Story," will hit theatres in October 2009. McHale is best known as the star of "The Soup," a weekly entertainment show that satirizes pop culture and current events. He also serves as a writer and producer on the show. McHale’s quick wit and sharp comedic timing have made "The Soup" a pop culture phenomenon and led to the success of "The Soup Presents" specials. McHale recently began touring the country to sold-out audiences with his stand-up act. Born in Rome, Italy and raised in Seattle, Washington, McHale became a cast member on Comedy Central’s "Almost Live," a show from a group of Seattle-based performers that featured a mixture of skit comedy and stand-up. Following his run on "Almost Live," McHale completed the Actor’s Training Master Program at The University of Washington. After moving to L.A., McHale landed roles on "Will & Grace," "CSI: Miami" and, most recently, "Pushing Daisies." He also jumped onto the big screen with roles in "Spider-Man 2" and "Lords of Dogtown." McHale currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his two sons. CHEVY CHASE Pierce Chevy Chase stars as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." One of the most honored and beloved actors of his generation, Chase first came to national prominence as a writer and performer with the original cast of NBC’s "Saturday Night Live," for which he won two Emmy Awards. Soon after he had endeared himself to television audiences, Hollywood beckoned and Chase made his feature film debut in the comedy-thriller "Foul Play" with Goldie Hawn. His many memorable films include: "Caddy Shack," "Seems Like Old Times," "National Lampoon’s Vacation," "Fletch," "National Lampoon’s European Vacation," "Spies Like Us," "The Three Amigos," "Funny Farm," "Caddyshack I," "Fletch Lives," "National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation," "Memoirs of an Invisible Man," "Cops and Robbersons," "Man of the House," "Vegas Vacation," " "Snow Day," "Ellie Parker," and last year’s "Funny Money." In 1992, Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest undergraduate dramatic group, honored Chase as its "Man of the Year." Chase began his career in comedy as a writer and performer for "Channel One," a local New York underground revue that satirized television. "Channel One" later became the basis for the film "The Groove Tube." He has written for Lily Tomlin and the Smothers Brothers, and earned a Writers Guild of America Award for writing "Alan King’s Energy Crisis, Rising Prices and Assorted Vices" TV special. In addition, he won an Emmy Award for co-writing "The Paul Simon Special." In 2007, Chase received critical acclaim for his guest-starring role on NBC’s award-winning series "Law and Order." He followed that return to the small screen with a two-episode guest-appearance on the drama series "Brothers and Sisters." Most recently, Chase guest starred on the NBC series "Chuck" and has completed production on the feature film "Stay Cool," with Winona Ryder and Sean Astin, which is scheduled for release this year. Chase resides in New York with his wife, Jayni, and their three daughters. He moved to the Northeast over a decade ago to be continually accessible to the needs of his family, including three daughters just entering adolescence, feeling that their needs would require more than just a mom and a working actor. He has been simply a "dad" as the kids have grown through changing seasons, hormones, and schools. Now that they are 20, 24, and 26 years old, he has decided to once again get back to the work he loves: making movies and television. GILLIAN JACOBS Britta Gillian Jacobs stars as Britta the 28-year-old dropout with something to prove in NBC’s new comedy series "Community." Jacobs was most recently seen in Richard Kelly's film "The Box," starring Cameron Diaz and Frank Langella. Other film credits include "Choke," starring Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston (Sundance Film Festival - Special Jury Prize Best Ensemble Acting) and the lead in Damian Harris’s "Gardens of the Night," which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Jacobs can also be seen in the upcoming films "Coach" directed by Will Frears, "Watching TV With the Red Chinese," "NoNames" and "Helena From the Wedding." On the small screen, she has appeared in "Fringe," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" and "Royal Pains." Jacobs will also be seen in the upcoming drama series "The Good Wife" and had a recurring role in "The Book of Daniel." Her theater credits include "The Little Flower of East Orange" at the Public Theater, which was directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. She also starred in "A Feminine Ending" off-Broadway at Playwright’s Horizons with Marsha Mason. Jacobs is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the Juilliard School's Drama Division. KEN JEONG Señor Chang Ken Jeong stars as Señor Chang, a slightly unhinged Spanish professor, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." Ken Jeong, known as the "scene stealer" is quickly establishing himself as the go-to character actor for today’s hit comedies. In the summer of 2009, Jeong appeared as the Asian-mobster "Mr. Chow" in the sleeper-hit comedy "The Hangover," also starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. The film stayed at the top of the box office two weekends in a row, and to date has grossed $205 million at the domestic box office. Since his feature-film debut as the doctor in "Knocked Up" in 2007, Jeong has gone on to a number of memorable roles in a series of successful comedies. Directed, written and produced by Judd Apatow, Jeong’s first film grossed $219 million at the worldwide box office. In 2008 Jeong starred in his first major role as the villain, King Argotron, in "Role Models," opposite Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The film grossed over $90 million worldwide. The same year, Jeong had supporting roles in two other major comedies, "Pineapple Express and Step Brothers." Jeong originally started on a different career path. He earned his undergraduate degree at Duke University and went on to attain his medical degree at the University of North Carolina. Jeong completed his Internal Medicine residence in New Orleans, all the while developing his comedy. In 1995, Jeong won the Big Easy Laff Off. The competition, which was judged by former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff and Improv founder Bud Friedman, turned out to be his big break as Tartikoff and Friedman urged Jeong to head to Los Angeles. Once in Los Angeles, Jeong began performing regularly at the Improv and Laugh Factory, and was seen on a number of television shows including "The Office," "Entourage," and "MADtv." It wasn’t until his pivotal role as "Dr. Kuni" in "Knocked Up," though, that Jeong solidified himself as a feature-film comedian. In 2006 Jeong and fellow comedian Mike O’Connell also left a mark on YouTube as "Million Dollar Strong," a spoof rap duo. Since the video’s posting in 2006, the video has garnered over 1 million views and Jeong and O’Connell have been tapped by MTV Films to write and star in the film version. Jeong will next be seen in the Will Ferrell produced film, "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" opposite Jeremy Piven. He will also be reunited with Bradley Cooper in the film "All About Steve," also starring Sandra Bullock. His additional upcoming films include the comedies, "Couples Retreat," "Despicable Me," and "The Zookeeper." Jeong currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and twin daughters.

From Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program") and Emmy Award-winning directors Joe and Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development") comes "Community," a smart comedy series about a band of misfits who attend Greendale Community College. At the center of the group is Jeff Winger (Joel McHale, "The Soup"), a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked. With some help from his fellow classmates, Winger forms a study group who eventually learn more about themselves than their course work. Also among the series stars who comprise the group are comedy legend Chevy Chase ("Chuck") as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom; Gillian Jacobs ("The Book of Daniel") as Britta, the 28-year old drop out with something to prove; Yvette Nicole Brown ("Rules of Engagement") as Shirley, a sassy middle-aged divorcée; Danny Pudi ("Greek") as Abed, a pop culture junkie; Alison Brie ("Mad Men") as Annie, a high-strung perfectionist; Donald Glover ("30 Rock") as Troy, a former high school football star trying to find his way and Ken Jeong ("The Hangover") as Spanish professor, Señor Chang. "Community" is a Krasnoff Foster Entertainment, Harmonious Claptrap, Russo Brothers production, Universal Media Studios production in association with Sony Pictures Television. Russ Krasnoff ("The Soloist"), Dan Harmon ("The Sarah Silverman Program"), Joe Russo ("Arrested Development"), Anthony Russo ("Arrested Development"), Garrett Donovan ("Scrubs"), Neil Goldman ("Scrubs") and Gary Foster ("The Soloist") serve as executive producers. Joe and Anthony Russo directed the pilot, written by Harmon. COMMUNITY BIOGRAPHIES JOEL MCHALE Jeff Winger Joel McHale stars as Jeff Winger, a fast-talkin’ lawyer whose degree has been revoked, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." McHale is poised to make 2009 a breakout year. In addition to his starring role in "Community," he recently wrapped production on the Steven Soderbergh directed, Warner Independent dark, comedic thriller "The Informant" opposite Matt Damon. In the film, he plays an FBI agent working with agri-business insider Mark Whitacre (Damon) to stop a price-fixing scam. The film, based on Kurt Eichenwald’s 2000 bestseller, "The Informant: A True Story," will hit theatres in October 2009. McHale is best known as the star of "The Soup," a weekly entertainment show that satirizes pop culture and current events. He also serves as a writer and producer on the show. McHale’s quick wit and sharp comedic timing have made "The Soup" a pop culture phenomenon and led to the success of "The Soup Presents" specials. McHale recently began touring the country to sold-out audiences with his stand-up act. Born in Rome, Italy and raised in Seattle, Washington, McHale became a cast member on Comedy Central’s "Almost Live," a show from a group of Seattle-based performers that featured a mixture of skit comedy and stand-up. Following his run on "Almost Live," McHale completed the Actor’s Training Master Program at The University of Washington. After moving to L.A., McHale landed roles on "Will & Grace," "CSI: Miami" and, most recently, "Pushing Daisies." He also jumped onto the big screen with roles in "Spider-Man 2" and "Lords of Dogtown." McHale currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his two sons. CHEVY CHASE Pierce Chevy Chase stars as Pierce, a man whose life experience has brought him infinite wisdom, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." One of the most honored and beloved actors of his generation, Chase first came to national prominence as a writer and performer with the original cast of NBC’s "Saturday Night Live," for which he won two Emmy Awards. Soon after he had endeared himself to television audiences, Hollywood beckoned and Chase made his feature film debut in the comedy-thriller "Foul Play" with Goldie Hawn. His many memorable films include: "Caddy Shack," "Seems Like Old Times," "National Lampoon’s Vacation," "Fletch," "National Lampoon’s European Vacation," "Spies Like Us," "The Three Amigos," "Funny Farm," "Caddyshack I," "Fletch Lives," "National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation," "Memoirs of an Invisible Man," "Cops and Robbersons," "Man of the House," "Vegas Vacation," " "Snow Day," "Ellie Parker," and last year’s "Funny Money." In 1992, Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest undergraduate dramatic group, honored Chase as its "Man of the Year." Chase began his career in comedy as a writer and performer for "Channel One," a local New York underground revue that satirized television. "Channel One" later became the basis for the film "The Groove Tube." He has written for Lily Tomlin and the Smothers Brothers, and earned a Writers Guild of America Award for writing "Alan King’s Energy Crisis, Rising Prices and Assorted Vices" TV special. In addition, he won an Emmy Award for co-writing "The Paul Simon Special." In 2007, Chase received critical acclaim for his guest-starring role on NBC’s award-winning series "Law and Order." He followed that return to the small screen with a two-episode guest-appearance on the drama series "Brothers and Sisters." Most recently, Chase guest starred on the NBC series "Chuck" and has completed production on the feature film "Stay Cool," with Winona Ryder and Sean Astin, which is scheduled for release this year. Chase resides in New York with his wife, Jayni, and their three daughters. He moved to the Northeast over a decade ago to be continually accessible to the needs of his family, including three daughters just entering adolescence, feeling that their needs would require more than just a mom and a working actor. He has been simply a "dad" as the kids have grown through changing seasons, hormones, and schools. Now that they are 20, 24, and 26 years old, he has decided to once again get back to the work he loves: making movies and television. GILLIAN JACOBS Britta Gillian Jacobs stars as Britta the 28-year-old dropout with something to prove in NBC’s new comedy series "Community." Jacobs was most recently seen in Richard Kelly's film "The Box," starring Cameron Diaz and Frank Langella. Other film credits include "Choke," starring Sam Rockwell and Angelica Houston (Sundance Film Festival - Special Jury Prize Best Ensemble Acting) and the lead in Damian Harris’s "Gardens of the Night," which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Jacobs can also be seen in the upcoming films "Coach" directed by Will Frears, "Watching TV With the Red Chinese," "NoNames" and "Helena From the Wedding." On the small screen, she has appeared in "Fringe," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent" and "Royal Pains." Jacobs will also be seen in the upcoming drama series "The Good Wife" and had a recurring role in "The Book of Daniel." Her theater credits include "The Little Flower of East Orange" at the Public Theater, which was directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. She also starred in "A Feminine Ending" off-Broadway at Playwright’s Horizons with Marsha Mason. Jacobs is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the Juilliard School's Drama Division. KEN JEONG Señor Chang Ken Jeong stars as Señor Chang, a slightly unhinged Spanish professor, in the new NBC comedy series "Community." Ken Jeong, known as the "scene stealer" is quickly establishing himself as the go-to character actor for today’s hit comedies. In the summer of 2009, Jeong appeared as the Asian-mobster "Mr. Chow" in the sleeper-hit comedy "The Hangover," also starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. The film stayed at the top of the box office two weekends in a row, and to date has grossed $205 million at the domestic box office. Since his feature-film debut as the doctor in "Knocked Up" in 2007, Jeong has gone on to a number of memorable roles in a series of successful comedies. Directed, written and produced by Judd Apatow, Jeong’s first film grossed $219 million at the worldwide box office.

Franklyn Lopez never stops amazing. He is so bold, so radical, that he thinks its normal to be that way. And that's why we carry his stuff on “Indymedia Presents.” This week we lead off with another episode of Frank's “It's the End of the World As We Know It, And I Feel Fine.” He starts with a report on the worldwide economic revolts, then turns his unblinking eye to “Bailout Blues,” “Wall 7 are Free!” “Gore's Dire Warning,” “West Bank Food Boycott,” a tribute to Gil Scott-Heron, and finishes off with “Media Elixir.” In a political moment when much of the left still has Obama stars for eyes, Frank's material is a potent antidote. Then on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, we dip into our archive for a little “Weapons of Mass Distraction” to invite you to remember the lies that justified this horror. Jim Lockhart is a dedicated Portland, Oregon video activist. He sent us our next video, Fur Free Friday, about a campaign by In Defense of Animals (www.idausa.org) that targets Nordstroms, among other retailers, in hopes that they will stop carrying fur products. The campaign has already had some success. Jim's video takes us to the street to join the protest. For more from Jim, visit www.philosopherseed.org. And since we're talking about animals, we finish off this week's episode with “The Judas Goat,” a counter-recruiting “message from the front.” Military recruiters are a human judas goat. So long as they supply their quota of fresh meat to the front, they don't have to go themselves. We call them out for what they are. - - - - - - - Indymedia Presents" is a 28 minute weekly cable public access program produced on behalf of the Seattle Independent Media Center (IMC) by PepperSpray Productions.
