Actor Patton Oswalt joked, "Dear @SyfyTV: please follow up SHARKNADO with PARTLY CLOWNY. Sky. Clowns. Michael Pare (probably)." 30 Rock alum Judah Friedlander also pitched a movie to the network, writing, "SharkFart vs Diarrhea Whale. Call me @Syfy. That's my movie pitch. #Sharknado."

Jimmy Choo Debuts Short Film Starring Nicole Kidman


Hot on the heels of the May announcement that Nicole Kidman would appear in Jimmy Choo’s Autumn/Winter 2013 ad campaign, the London-based accessory designer unveiled a short film featuring the Oscar-winning actress. The video, shot by photographer Mikael Jansson, shows the actress channeling a sophisticated yet smoldering modern Hitchcock heroine. Kidman works a short trench coat, tousled bob and smoky eye along with her must-have accessories -- the brand’s pointy-toe Talan heels, a skinny Bordeaux-hued Ciggy clutch, a slouchy oversized black leather Blare biker bag with silver chain accents and glittering cat-eye sunglasses (all available to pre-order at jimmychoo.com).

“Nicole’s character portrays the multi-faceted qualities of the Jimmy Choo woman for this season -- strong, sexy with a beguiling sense of mystery,” Jimmy Choo creative director Sandra Choi said in a statement.

Added Kidman: “I really enjoyed being able to play a role that was strong, sexy and in control. I got into a relationship with the photographer and Mikael is very intuitive. He knows what I am thinking and feeling and is able to translate it through the camera.”

The print campaign, which coincides with the short film, will appear in print beginning in August. Kidman is set to take on another Hitchcock heroine when she returns to the big screen as Grace Kelly in The Weinstein Company’s Grace of Monaco, which hits theaters in December.

Gabrielle Union Starring in BET's Being Mary Jane After Losing Scandal Role to Kerry Wa

BET is giving Gabrielle Union her very own Scandal. The 40-year-old actress is starring in the new movie/TV series Being Mary Jane, which is set to premiere as a two-hour special on Tuesday, July 2 on BET -- and become a series in January 2014.

For Union, landing the lead role in the new BET show is a big career win. In an interview with The Associated Press, the Deliver Us From Eva actress revealed that she lost the lead role on ABC's Scandal to Kerry Washington.

"I said to myself, 'Oh my God, these roles are out there.' It showed me that you don't have to settle. Luckily, the success of her and the show bred more work," she explained. "Just from the audition process, I knew that I couldn't go backward."

"I didn't get Scandal, but I got something better -- which is my own show," Union added. "It's all about building a legacy. This new opportunity is something I feel that can grow."

In her new show, Union plays Mary Jane Paul, a successful TV news anchor balancing work and relationships. "If you loved me for one thing and may not have liked me in something else, this role gives the audience a chance to see that I can do more than one thing," the Think Like a Man star said.

And Union hopes that her fans will support her by watching the premiere. "It's finally here! Do. Not. Miss," she tweeted. "Being Mary Jane TONIGHT on BET at 10:30 p.m.!"
