Venice Film Festival in turmoil

ROME -- The Venice Film Festival is in turmoil with powerplay now underway that will determine whether artistic director Marco Mueller remains at the helm. Venice Biennale prexy Paolo Baratta was reupped Thursday by Italy's newly installed post-Berlusconi government, leaving large sectors of the local film industry wondering whether Baratta will overlook frictions with Mueller, resolve their differences, and opt to continue their collaboration; or instead look for a new Lido topper. Those frictions center around the Lido's infrastructural woes, with the venerable fest's planned new Palazzo del Cinema in recent years turning into an open-air construction site, making its grounds akin to civil-war-era Beirut, plus exorbitant hotel costs, and overall lack of accommodation. All matters on which Mueller wants more oversight. Meanwhile, according to sources, new Italo Culture Czar Lorenzo Ornaghi, shortly after reupping Baratta, has contacted Mueller, opening informal negotiations. But Baratta, who is now emboldened by his reappointment, is not expected to be willing to cede much ground. Baratta's mandate will not kick in formally until early January, when a decision must be made. Consensus in the Italo industry is that Mueller is not just the best man for the job, due to his standing within the international industry and vast web of contacts, but also that he is quite crucial for Venice not to sink. Mueller's prestige is seen as the best way to counterbalance the fest's infrastructural deficiencies, which will certainly not be resolved by its next edition, in September 2012. Mueller, who has offers on the table from fests in Russia, Japan, and also from the Rome Film Festival, seems keen to stay at Venice, but is also determined to be able to cater more directly to industry needs.

Final GOP Presidential Debate: Rick Perry Mocked by Media for Tim Tebow Comparison

ABC"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" ABC has canceled Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.our editor recommendsThe Kardashians Throw Anti-Bullying Rally With Demi Lovato on 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' (Video)'Extreme Makeover' Host Ty Pennington Joins New ABC Daytime Show'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition': Michelle Obama to Guest Star on the ABC Reality Series The network has opted not to move forward with the series in its weekly format, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. ABC, however, will air four special episodes after its current ninth season ends its run on Jan. 13 with its 200th episode. The series, which features host Ty Pennington and a team including designer Michael Moloney visiting and rebuilding the homes of families in need, premiered in 2003 as a 13-part special to 12 million viewers on a Wednesday night, moving to its initial home on Sundays where it became a regular staple for its first eight seasons. The Extreme Makeover spinoff continued to grow, cracking the top 20 in viewership in its second season, averaging 15.8 million viewers per episode as it made its way to visit all 50 states helping veterans, victims of natural disasters, the homeless and foster care and adoption organizations. To date, the team has designed and rebuilt more than 200 homes, in addition to firehouses, schools, daycares and more. ABC moved the series to Fridays this year where it has struggled to attract the same audience -- despite a slate of high-profile guests including first lady Michelle Obama and the Kardashians -- against competition including Fox's Kitchen Nightmares and scripted offerings including A Gifted Man. Its most recent episode, airing against CBS' holiday broadcast of Frosty the Snowman (7.3 million), drew 5.1 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. The decision to air four specials follows a similar model Fox incorporated for America's Most Wanted. The long-running law-enforcement series, hosted by John Walsh, was canceled as a weekly series in May with Fox opting to air four quarterly specials. (Lifetime has since picked up the series for a 25th season.) "It is with a somber heart I close this chapter, but with such excitement I begin the next one," Moloney said in a statement to THR. "I have EM:HE to thank for the platform I have to continue doing good work and great design in 2012 and on." Pennington, meanwhile, has already lined up a new gig, ABC's upcoming daytime health and lifestyle series The Revolution, set to premiere in January. He joins Tim Gunn and Harley Pasternak. Pennington later posted a statement on his Web site thanking the network, fans and those associated with the show for their support for what he called "the greatest job of my life." "I believe the spirit of what we have done across the country for over 200 families will continue to inspire," he wrote. It has been an honor to work side by side with the EMHE families, builders, and thousands of volunteers who have proven that good hearts can and do change the world." The series has earned two Emmys for outstanding reality program in its nine-year run, with another year of eligibility to go.

Watercooler: Warehouse 13's Finest Gift

Allison Scagliotti, Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly You realize, it truly is an excellent existence when you are getting to enjoy in Warehouse 13. Because we have apparently all been good boys and women this season, Syfy last evening unwrapped its annual batch of Christmas-designed episodes in the net's holy trinity - W13, Haven and Eureka. From the three goodies, Watercooler was most impressed by Warehouse's fresh, cheeky method of among television's earliest, and frequently moldiest tropes: The spoof of It is a Wonderful Existence. Usually presented like a sappy "despondent character sees exactly what the world could be like without oneInch tale, the authors rather offered up laughs having a periodic flavor by literally sweeping perpetual optimist Pete from existence following a run-along with a mystical brush once possessed by Philip Van Doren Stern. Stern, for that Yule-challenged among you, composed the novel The Finest Gift, which offered because the inspiration for, you first got it, It is a Wonderful Existence. This twist of getting Pete stuck inside a timeline where none of his charms (and they're copious, because of Eddie McClintock's large-kid likeability) could convince his pals he was legitimate permitted just for fun tweaks throughout. We've got a callback towards the earlier, less Lattimer-loose Myka. A psych ward-dwelling Claudia. An Artie who had been imprisoned for any bungled bloodstone save. And on top of that, the return of Roger Rees as baddie MacPherson, who had been not only still alive, but grinchier than ever before. Between his recently empowered villainy and also the formidable threat to Mrs. Frederic he posed, could it be past too far to include "resurrect MacPherson permanently once the show resumes" to the wish list, Santa? Obviously, all is made merry and vibrant through the finish, so our crew was reunited before the closing credits. And that we wouldn't get it every other way. After three seasons, in addition to this wonderful outing, you do not need the sunshine of Rudolph's nose to determine that W13 ensemble simply stands out when they're together. Have you sign in to Warehouse 13 last evening? Maybe it was the gift that continues giving for you personally, too? Sign up for TV Guide Magazine today!
