The MPAA today upheld its R rating for the Holocaust documentary A Film Unfinished -- the same R rating that Beastie Boy and indie distributor Adam Yauch decried as "bullsh*t" ahead of this week's appeal. The ratings board was not swayed by the citation of the PG-13 Holocaust doc The Last Days, which, like A Film Unfinished features "disturbing images of Holocaust atrocities including graphic nudity," but which was also produced by Steven Spielberg, so you do the math. Alas. A Film Unfinished opens Aug. 18. [Oscilloscope Laboratories]
It's allll about the Mustafas today, what with the casting of Isaiah Mustafa in Typer Perry's latest and this first! Look! Review! of the long-shelved, presumed-forthcoming Ryan Gosling/Kirsten Dunst true-crime biopic All Good Things. Its author: Distinguished IMDb commenter "Mustafa22," who presumably attended one of those secret screenings in Encino or wherever else the film has been making tiny inroads ahead of the fall movie season. Read on for some of his voluminous, spoilerific thoughts -- including the prurient essentials of Dunst's topless scene.
Hello, ladies. Look at Tyler Perry, now back to me, now back at Tyler Perry, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he stopped using ladies' scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he's me. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat with the man Tyler Perry could smell like. What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two tickets to that cross-dressing movie franchise you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when Tyler Perry smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I'm on a horse. [AOL Black Voices]
Deadheads might call this a bad trip: The planned biopic about Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia has been Jackie Jormp-Jomp'd. Reps for Garcia's estate announced it will not participate in the film, meaning filmmakers won't have access to his music or his family. If director Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story) needs any tips on how to navigate a musical biopic without the artist's actual music, he should probably give Jack Donaghy a call.

Not to OD on the kid or anything, but: The first glimpse of Justin Bieber on the set of CSI has arrived and it's everything fans of his particular charms could have ever wanted: goofy, perfectly coiffed and totally out of place on CSI. No truth to the rumor that immediately after this photo was taken, executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer scolded the Biebster for playing with the prop corpse by shouting, "This is why we don't have nice things!" Get the full image after the jump.
Slow clap for Entertainment Weekly, which today unveiled the cover of its latest issue screaming "The Bond movies in danger!" The story, which is not yet available online or in print, is said to evaluate the threat to the James Bond franchise from insolvent MGM and Daniel Craig's other franchises -- specifically, David Fincher's adaptation of the Millenium Trilogy. Yikes! Panic much, anybody?
First Larry King and now Mary Hart. The longtime -- and utterly ageless -- Entertainment Tonight host announced today that she'll be leaving the show following the conclusion of its 30th season. Hart has been with ET since 1982 and said in a statement that it was "time for a change." Upon hearing the news of Hart's exit, your mom got really bummed out. [NYT/ArtsBeat]
Rather than be known as the Oscar-winning documentary director who took the money and ran, David Guggenheim will instead be known as the one who gave the money back. Only Guggenheim knows why he left perhaps the most cynically conceived film ever, but his official excuse is that he's too busy promoting his education doc Waiting for "Superman" to go filming Justin Bieber's life story and performances in 3D. It's cool, Davis; let's put it behind us. Meanwhile, paging Kenny Ortega... [Deadline]

· The new logo for Avengers has been revealed, and it's part of a cutesy teaser trailer with spooky narrations. It's adorable how we're all pretending this can top the late-'90s Uma Thurman version. But miracles? I don't believe in them. [/Film]
On The View today, Whoopi Goldberg took time off from defending bigots to call out The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka. Goldberg asked the beleaguered reality star if The Bachelor was his first "acting" job, and Pavelka replied that The Bachelor "wasn't acting." That set the bedenimed hostess into a quick rage, and she said, "Darling, I'm afraid to tell you, you're full of garbage. That is an acting job." Someone please phone Chris Harrison to moderate.

The initial reaction to the news that Corning will expand production of their mostly unbreakable Gorilla Glass (used on iPhone's and other touchscreen devices) to include television screens might sound something like, "What for?" But this seemingly unnecessary expense could potentially open up a whole new world to you: Now you can stab away at your least favorite shows without fear of breaking the set. Everyone wins! Ahead, Movieline ranks the 30 television shows most likely to benefit from this technological breakthrough.
Big props to Michael Atkinson, an esteemed critic who, when not wearing his DVD- and cable-connoisseur hat for Movieline, also happens to write the occasional mystery novel about Ernest Hemingway. Yes, that Ernest Hemingway. You'll love it. His latest, Hemingway Cutthroat, is just out on bookshelves, and I am pleased to urge you: Pick it up! It's a sequel to Mr. Atkinson's Hemingway Deadlights; both are available at Amazon and would make splendid additions to your summer reading list. Enjoy!
