IT WAS A REAL surprise when Jackson Browne came up and said hi at the recent Ozomatli Concert at Pipeline Cafe. Later in the evening the crowd went wild when he joined the group on stage for their final two songs.

RE:RE: Modeling Casting Call

"WTF DOES A PROACTIVE SUICIDE AGENCY MEAN??? " <br> <br> My guess would be that's an agency that encourages their models to put zit creme on their face until they kill themselves? <br> <br> What the original ad is talking about is being "provocative"... but of course when you click the link their page you see a huge flashing warning about graphic nudity and you must be over the age of 18 to enter. I agree that's not provocative, that's just trashy. <br> <br> As for the Suicide part... I can only assume they mean ripping off Suicide Girls, their page uses the same colors but with some hideous fonts and bad design. The "agency" only has one model and they dressed her up like a hooker and like jailbait... and while I was expecting to see those "graphic" shots the warning page told me about... they just look like some poor young girl being taken advantage of in some pervert's dirty house. <br> <br> double fail it.

RE: Modeling Casting Call

"Hawaii Based Modeling Agency looking for NEW faces!!! We are a provocative, fetish, suicide agency" <br> <br> WTF DOES A PROACTIVE SUICIDE AGENCY MEAN??? <br> <br> your site is so retarded!!! and what a pathetic attempt at being an agency. How is showing "their inner beauty" being half naked looking like a slut? <br> <br> FAIL. <br> <br>

Summer Glau Returns to Battle Bad Guys in NBC’s The Cape

Summer Glau hasn’t had much luck with TV shows, despite appearing in a lot of really huge cult favorites. Unfortunately “cult” doesn’t always translate into “TV viewers”, so her shows have been, invariably, canceled sooner rather than later. The usually ass-kicking sci-fi babe has now joined the cast of NBC’s “The Cape”, where she will play the female lead opposite David Lyons. On the show, Lyons is a cop who is framed, and forced to become a criminal and masked hero called the Cape to clear his name.
 Glau will play Orwell, an intrepid investigative blogger (this is 2010, after all) who exposes corruption and takes on the bad guys. No doubt, given Glau’s extensive ass-kicking TV credentials, she’s a perfect fit for a superhero show where no one actually has any powers. Simon West (“Con Air”) will direct the pilot for NBC. Glau’s last regular show was the sci-fi “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”. She’s also had guest stints on [...]

First Look at Felicia Day as a Werewolf Hunting Babe in Red

Here’s your first look at Interwebs seductress Felicia Day as a werewolf hunter in her upcoming Sy Fy Channel Original movie “Red”. Looks pretty badass. Hopefully the movie itself won’t be the usual Sy Fy Channel Original turd. In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Hats off to Horror-Movies for locating the Twitter pic.

Two More Kick Ass Posters Make Demands of You

MTV’s got your first look at two new, demanding posters for Matthew Vaughn’s “Kick Ass”. Check them both out below. Based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., “Kick Ass” follows Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan with a few friends and who lives alone with his father. His life is not very difficult and his personal trials not that overwhelming. However, one day Dave makes the simple decision to become a super-hero even though he has no powers or training, and after fashioning himself a homemade costume, he goes out to fight crime. He later comes into contact with Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) a teenage girl who is actually highly trained to fight crime (not to mention sporting the foulest mouth), and her father, ex-cop Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage). Together, they take on a mobster played by Mark Strong. Starring Nicolas Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Xander [...]

Actor turns talent toward helping others find roles

SCREEN TIME ➣Hawaii Actors Network
By Katherine Nichols

There's a relatively new Web resource out there for actors and casting directors in Hawaii, and if you don't already know about it, you probably should. Actor Teddy Wells developed www.hawaiiactors.com to help casting agents find extras and principles for television and movie roles, and to help actors -- who may or may not be members of the Screen Actors Guild -- promote themselves and get work.

The former Nick's Fishmarket chef became a SAG actor 13 years ago and has managed to land a fair number of acting gigs since then.

During a recent shoot with Animal Planet's "I'm Alive," a series about people recounting their life threatening encounters with animals, Wells saw how much they struggled to find talent in the islands.

"There was no central location to find SAG or non-SAG actors," he noted. "They're not paying a whole lot, so they don't want to go through talent agencies."

The whole point of the Actors Network is "to put people out there to be found to get work," he said. "Because if they're not looking for Teddy Wells, maybe I can help somebody else."

With a few success stories -- one member landed a recurring role on "Lost" -- people are catching on. In its first 6 months, membership has grown to about 900, with 4 or 6 new actors signing on each day, including newcomers and industry veterans. Even better, the social network is free.

"It's pretty much my charity," said Wells, who admitted that he may try to generate some advertising revenue from the site in the coming year. But for now it's a nonprofit that relies on donations from grateful actors and Wells' own resources. "It's my way of giving back to the entertainment industry in Hawaii ..."

Welcome to the Hawaii Actors Network

Hawaii 5-O gets the green light to film in Hawaii again.

An updated version of "Hawaii Five-O", the classic cop series about the Hawaii-state police force, will air on CBS. The original series, created by Leonard Freeman, ran from 1968-1980 with Officer Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) and his sidekick Dan Williams (James MacArthur). Most remember the series for its theme song and McGarrets famous closing line for each episode, "Book 'em, Danno."

Major film writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Transformers") created the storyline for the new "Hawaii Five-O" pilot along with "CSI: NY" executive producer Peter Lenkov. The classic show was the longest running crime show on television before "Law & Order" claimed that title.

What is a TIP at The Actors’ Network, well it is quite simple because it is so individual. A TIP is any person, project, piece of information or angle that crosses your path somehow and you want to pursue. This could be representation, something in a trade, an audition you heard about, or the place where you can find a filmmaker and talk to them. The reality is, there are lots of choices on “how to” do things. Knowing more about yourself, what your limitations are, and what makes you most comfortable will always give you a clear guide on how to proceed when an opportunity falls in your lap. It also helps to know a bit about how to qualify an opportunity instead of just looking at them as all the same or in simple categories. Remember we’re talking about how to pursue projects or TIPS but it really means how to pursue the person attached to it. That is very subjective.

Acting is the use of our minds, hearts, emotions, and the choices of how to align those different subjective aspects of ourselves. However, what most actors never consider is how unexpected things in an office reading can affect their performance. In Kevin’s opinion, your talent is only as good as it can be “in the room” with multiple distractions around and has little to do with how good you are on stage or at class. Come and discuss or at least gain perspective regarding different office spaces, what the room set up may be, what to expect, who runs them, who you read with, using props, stand or sit, being physical, being intimate, etc.

Tom McCarthy's Win Win Starts Filming Monday

Fox Searchlight Pictures' Presidents Nancy Utley and Stephen Gilula announced today that principal photography for Win Win will begin March 15th in New York. The film stars Academy Award-nominee Paul Giamatti ( Sideways ), Academy Award-nominee Amy Ryan ( Gone Baby Gone ), Melanie Lynskey ( Up in the Air ), Bobby Cannavale ( The Station Agent ) and Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development").

Cameron Talks Titanic 3D and an Avatar Rerelease

There's been talk about a 3D version of Titanic for a while, but now James Cameron has given USA Today an estimated release frame. "We're targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of 'Titanic'), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship," Cameron said in an interview about 3D technology at theaters and in the home.

Sam Worthington to Play Dan Dare ?

Pajiba is reporting that Sam Worthington ( Avatar , upcoming Clash of the Titans ) has signed to star in the comic book adaptation Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future , which is now at Warner Bros. Pictures. Dare -- described as Britain's version of Buck Rogers -- launched as a comic strip character in the Eagle magazine in the 1950s. The stories were set in the late 1990s but the dialogue and manner of the characters is reminiscent of British war films of the 1950s. The character was created by illustrator Frank Hampson. The site says that, while it is a priority project at the studio, neither a writer nor director is on board yet.
