Clothes are a key part of weddings — and, it turns out, the marriage of art and commerce.Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel and Malin Akerman are among the well-dressed stars of upcoming film “The Romantics,” which is all about friends reuniting for a wedding with a few wounds still not healed. Here, fashion isn’t just playing a supporting role — it’s a key marketing partner for the film.
The cast, which also includes Adam Brody, Rebecca Lawrence and Jeremy Strong, reunited recently for a photo shoot for J.Crew and changed in and out of several outfits over the course of several hours for the retailer’s fall catalog and the brand’s website.

Almost two years ago we reported on Good Vibes, an animated show being put together by director David Gordon Green. At the time it was looking like Fox would be the corporate home, but now the roof over the show’s head will likely be provided by the channel once known as Music Television.
Deadline says that MTV is close to putting in a 12-episode order for Good Vibes, with Green and original producers Tom Werner and Mike Clements. Brad Ableson, the animator of the pilot presentation created for Fox in 2008, is on board for this incarnation of the show as well.
When that pilot was put together it had quite a voice cast: Adam Brody, Alan Tudyk, Danny McBride, Debi Mazar, Jake Busey, Josh Gad and Olivia Thirlby. Now that significant time has passed and the profiles of some of those actors have changed considerably, we don’t know who, if any, will be back for this incarnation. But Deadline reports that “talks are underway” for that cast to reprise their roles going forward.
In 2008 the show was said to center on two surfer dudes living near the beach in southern California. One was Mondo (Gad), shaggy-haired and out of shape who wants to become a killer surfer to win the attention of Jeena (Thirlby). His best friend is Woodie (Brody), and there’s also Turk (Busey), Mondo’s rival. Lonnie (Tudyk) was an old surf bum who narrated the show.

Good Vibes was originally developed at Warner Bros. TV through Tom Werner’s studio-based Good Humor TV production company. It was given a pilot presentation order by Fox in the fall of 2008, with 20th Century TV attached to produce. Good Humor’s Werner and Mike Clements, along with Green, executive produced the presentation, whose voice cast included Adam Brody, Alan Tudyk, Danny McBride, Debi Mazar, Jake Busey, Josh Gad and Olivia Thirlby. Green, Werner and Clements are now on board to executive the Good Vibes series for MTV as is the animator of the original presentation Brad Ableson. Talks are underway with the cast of the presentation to possibly return.

Pretty sure he’ll be getting this role! Good time to be a Brody fan right now.
 Adam Brody, Alia Shawkat, Catherine Keener and Allison Janney are in negotiations to join the cast of the family dramedy “The Oranges.”
Hugh Laurie and Leighton Meester recently boarded the long-gestating indie pic, which finally secured financing and will begin shooting March 30 in New York. Julian Farino is directing, and Anthony Bregman, Glen Basner and Leslie Urdang are producing.
The script, by Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss, centers on a man (Laurie) who has a romantic relationship with the daughter (Meester) of a family friend. That turns their lives, and the lives of their families, upside down.
Brody will play Laurie’s son, who falls for Meester but is shocked to learn she’s having a torrid affair with his dad.
Shawkat is Brody’s sister, thinking of moving out, while Keener plays their mother. Janney is Meester’s mom.
UTA-repped Brody can be seen on screen with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in “Cop Out.” He was last seen “Jennifer’s Body.”
Since appearing in Drew Barrymore’s “Whip It!” Shawkat has landed roles in “The Runaways” and “Cedar Rapids” and co-created a comedy with Ellen Page for HBO titled “Stitch N’ Bitch.” She is repped by UTA and Kipperman Management.
Gersh-repped Keener is on screen with “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.” Janney, repped by Paradigm, has two indie movies in the can: “A Thousand Words” and “Life During Wartime.”

So good to see Adam on this list!
Adam Brody
We can all thank this California cutie for popularizing the now ubiquitous “nerd chic” trend. As the dorky cool Seth Cohen on The O.C. from 2003 to 2007, Adam rocked skinny ties, sarcasm, and The Bait Shop. Adam and his costar Rachel Bilson dated onscreen and off, way before Dan and Serena did the same on a certain other Josh Schwartz show. Never before (or after) has anyone made geeking out about comic books and indie bands more attractive!

 The Elephant Project is an organization to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. There is a phrase that says “elephants never forget,” and in the fight against Alzheimer’s, we are striving for those affected to “never forget.” Because of the elephant’s connection to the cause, we have celebrities pose for a photo with an elephant beanie baby, which are then auctioned off with an autograph and a beanie. Tons of celebrities have already joined the cause and we have a bunch of auctions live right now. Adam Brody participated in the project at the VMAs last month and his auction is up on eBay right now along with 33 others. Here is the link:
