ABC is continuing to back its late-night horse, giving Jimmy Kimmel a cameo in a new comedy and a post-Academy Awards special for the second straight year. The network continues to pound away on building the brand of Kimmel, who will make an appearance in the upcoming rookie sitcom In Case Of Emergency and also hosts Set For Life, which ABC is set to debut sometime in 2007. Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards will air Sunday night, February 25, after the Oscars and local news. Kimmel will also have rookie Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres on the Tuesday prior to the Academy Awards. Kimmel’s post-Oscar telecast this year drew 4 million viewers, the third-highest number ever for the show. Kimmel’s show continues to gain traction for ABC, despite its unfriendly Nightline lead-in

Thank You For Smoking and not considering Katie Holmes? |
| November 13th, 2006 under Oscars, Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes/Suri. [ Comments: none ]

Fox’s recent Jason Reitman directed film, "Thank You For Smoking" recently dispersed academy screeners "for your consideration," to Academy voters. The jacket of the screener is conspicuously missing a key player, Miss Katie Holmes. Defamer.com reports that it was "an omission made even more glaring by the inclusion of pretty much everyone else who spoke a line in the film." There was earlier controversy over Holmes one sex scene that mysteriously disappeared when screened at Sundance film festival, and Defamer speculates Fox "executives there are probably as put off by the idea of Holmes’ Cruise era, contractually mandated, one-cursory-mating-session-per-billion-years sexuality as we all are, and don’t want her baggage tainting the other deserving candidates from their film." Thank You For Smoking depicts Tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor (played by Aaron Eckhart) with a seemingly impossible task: promoting cigarette smoking in a time when the health hazards of the activity have become highly controversial. When a beautiful news reporter Heather Holloway (played by Katie Holmes) betrays Nick’s sexually-achieved trust, his world comes close to collapsing.

Does winning the Oscar for Best Actress put a curse on their relationships? |

 It is the pinnacle of an actress’s career. But winning the Best Female Oscar, it seems, puts a curse on your marriage. Reese Witherspoon yesterday became the sixth winner of the award in the past decade to split from her partner. More here… • Gallery: Other Oscar winners who’ve gone on to split Her announcement that she was separating from actor Ryan Phillippe, her husband of seven years, follows rumours that he was unable to cope with his wife’s runaway success. Miss Witherspoon, 30, recently negotiated an £18million fee for her next movie, making her the highest-paid actress of all time. Her 32-year-old husband, meanwhile, picked up just £200,000 for his role in the critically-acclaimed film Crash. Rumours that their marriage was on the rocks surfaced shortly after she picked up this year’s Oscar for her role as Johnny Cash’s wife June Carter in Walk the Line. In her acceptance speech she paid tribute to "my wonderful husband." But at an aftershow party a furious Phillippe was said to have barked "my wife is my pass" before barging past a security guard. The marriage break-up follows a familiar pattern. Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank famously forgot to mention husband Chad Lowe in 2000. The couple split in January of this year. Halle Berry, who won in 2002, called husband Eric Benet: "The joy of my life" before discovering he had had a string of affairs. 2001 winner Julia Roberts soon split with Benjamin Bratt to marry cameraman Daniel Moder. Gwyneth Paltrow, who won in 1999, wept as she thanked her now ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck. Helen Hunt called Hank Azaria "my beloved" in 1998. They split in 2000. Only Charlize Theron (2004) and Frances McDormand (1997) have emerged unscathed. So too, strictly speaking, has Nicole Kidman, who won in 2003. She, however, has had her own well-documented marriage troubles.
