With a presidential election approaching, political advertising scrutiny should reach a four-year high within the next seven months. Rest assured, as long as Pro Publica has its say, the public will have their advertising data from individual TV stations - whether the stations like it or not. Deadline reports that the activist journalist organization has figured out on its own just the route around the Federal Communication Commission's quandary concerning whether individual TV stations' political advertising data should be made available online.

There's such a thing as "bad timing." Then again, there's also such a thing as "terrible timing."
Amid a national outpouring of support for slain 17-year-old Sanford, Fla. teen Trayvon Martin's family - and an equally fervent demand that George Zimmerman, the night watchman who shot him allegedly in self-defense, be arrested - comes Geraldo Rivera with some weapons-grade, flammable stupid.

If you or I just randomly dropped in at a wedding, even if just to wish the happy couple our best, we'd get thrown out. Hell, if Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson dropped in, they'd....well, they'd be hit up for autographs, then possibly thrown out. Just how exactly does one throw out the Queen of England?

There's protecting your licensed property's trademark, and then there's overt, paranoid douchebaggery toward a worthy cause.
Lionsgate has backed off a cease-and-desist letter sent to a charity that studio brass felt was wrongly invoking new-found tentpole franchise "The Hunger Games", according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The night Tracy Martin couldn't reach his son Trayvon - the night the boy was killed - he didn't initially worry. He believed his son had simply been out for the evening with Tracy's nephew. Then morning came. No Trayvon. His phone still rang straight to voicemail. Then, "the nightmare began."

More than any other network, FOX likes a little incestuous ribbing here and there. That goes double on the Sunday-night animation block. Maybe even triple on any show created by Seth MacFarlane. In this clip previewing this Sunday's new "American Dad!", the MacFarlane hit takes a loving little jab at fellow network hit "Bones."

When it comes to making a mockery of the semi-disgraced viral-video sensation of the moment....everyone's a critic.
Actor Jason Biggs recently parodied Invisible Children co-founder and creator of the viral activism sensation "Kony 2012" Jason Russell's crazy, naked street-corner rampage in Chicago. Doing so left a sour taste in the mouths of Russell's peers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
