We find it hard to believe that Summer will draw to a close this weekend. Normally we're a bit melancholy at this time of year; it must be the remnants of our youth, when seeing Jerry Lewis' annual Labor Day Telethon on Channel 9 meant the school year was just around the corner.

This year however, we can't wait for Summer to end! Once it's over, maybe, just maybe, we won't have to read any more stories about The Dark Knight.

Don't get us wrong; we loved The Dark Knight. It was a wholly satisfying and towering achievement, flaws and all (the day Christopher Nolan figures out how to finish a movie will be a good one for filmgoers.  read more »

Seems like Showtime's Weeds stars have caught the stage bug recently. First, Hunter Parrish makes his Broadway debut in Spring Awakening on Aug. 18. Now Mary-Louise Parker, the MILF who plays his drug-dealer mom on Showtime's Weeds, will trot back onto Broadway too. She'll star in a revival of Henrik Ibsen's classic Hedda Gabler in January 2009 for the Roundabout Theatre Company. Previews are slated to begin on Jan. 6 2009 with an official opening on Jan. 25.

Playbill has more:

In Hedda Gabler, press notes state,"the newly-wed Hedda Tesman finds herself bored with married life to her scholar husband, George Tesman.

Even Mary-Louise Parker Can’t Rescue Ruhl Cell Phone http://www.observer.com/2008/hu-llo-even-mary-louise-parker-can-t-rescue-ruhl-cell-phone

In Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone, there’s a wonderfully ghoulish true story about a cell phone that started ringing inside a coffin.

It happened in Belgium some five years ago: The grieving family of the deceased had gathered at the funeral parlor to say a private, loving farewell around the sealed coffin when they suddenly heard a cell phone ringing inside. (What makes it worse—or funnier—is that the badly shaken family subsequently sued the undertakers for negligence).  read more »

In her free time from playing a MILF who slings weed on Showtime, Mary-Louise Parker will appear in Curtains, the musical comedy whodunit, currently starring David Hyde Pierce (from Frasier) on Broadway. It'll only be for one night though (dang!) at "A Musical Celebration of Broadway Honoring Roger Berlind" in the Rockefeller Plaza Rainbow Room on Feb. 11.  read more »

Tonight, Out magazine will honor its 100 most influential people in gay culture with a big bash at Cipriani Wall Street. Kathy Griffin must be on a cruise ship somewhere, so Tori Spelling and Tim Gunn will co-host the camp affair, where the five people on the cover of Out’s December issue—Jennifer Hudson, Mary-Louise Parker, Bryan Batt, Thom Browne and Bill T. Jones—will be among the bellini-sipping award-winners this evening. Annie Lennox is expected to make a special appearance, and Chaka Kahn and Kat Deluna will perform.

We spoke with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Aaron Hicklin, today to learn more about the selection process behind this year’s honorees.
