He recalls, with a smile, how he recently encountered Parker's husband, actor Matthew Broderick, at a formal charity dinner with his tie hanging down. Gunn said Broderick called his wife and asked, "Where are you? You usually tie my tie." "She said, `Tim Gunn's there. Let him do it.'"Dec 10, 2007
from WENN:
The 45-year-old - who voiced Simba the lion in 1994's The Lion King - only agreed to provide his vocal talents for Jerry Seinfeld's computer-animated feature Bee Movie because he knew he could watch the film more than once. He says, "I only do animated films when I think they're good, because you know as a parent you'll have to watch them so many times. But Bee Movie is a great mix of cool animation and Jerry's sensibility."Dec 8, 2007 from Broadway World:
Ebersole and Stritch performed a special seasonal showcase entitled "Winter Wonderland," featuring classic holiday & wintertime standards including "White Christmas," "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and Kay Thompson's "The Holiday Season," mixed with more-recent favorites. Additionally, Ebersole debuted songs from her upcoming CD, "Sunday In New York."

“We went out to Danny DeVito first, and he was the first to commit. I then flew to New York to meet with Matthew Broderick. At the time he had just finished The Odd Couple on stage and planned on spending the Summer with his son, so didn’t really want to work. We were able to persuade him though.” Kristin Davis, of ''Sex and the City'' fame, was the “first person we saw” for the part of Broderick’s long-suffering wife in the film, says Whitesell, and was so “perfect” that she was immediately cast.Nov 11, 2007 from Bloomberg:
Bee Movie came in No. 1 after stumbling in its debut last week, when it finished second and earned $39.1 million. The film had been expected to make $50 million at the domestic box office in its first weekend, Drew E. Crum, an analyst with Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. in New York, said in a Nov. 1 note. Nov 10, 2007 from OurSports Central:
Nov 9, 2007 from Playbill:
"Scheduling conflicts make it impossible to proceed in the allotted time slot," reads a press statement. "A replacement production will be announced shortly." Matthew Broderick had been scheduled to star in Lonergan's Messenger, which was to have been directed by the playwright. The world premiere had been announced to play City Center Stage I beginning Feb. 7, 2008, with an official opening Feb. 26.from Movie Web:
Q: We don't really see Matthew Broderick or Danny DeVito in a family movie like this. Was it a bit of an adjustment for them playing characters like Steve Finch and Buddy Hall? John Whitesell: Yeah, I think so. Matthew is more of that guy, naturally, from some of the stuff he's done, but he's also done a lot of edgy, quirky stuff too. Matthew is kind of that everyman guy. He brings that peculiar aspect that I thought was really great for Steve. Danny... Danny is incredibly funny. He's one of those loveable bad guys, you know. I grew up watching him on Taxi and Louie De Palma was the meanest guy on the show, but you liked Louie. And that's what Danny has, even when he's doing things that annoy you or piss you off, you still like him. Q: I loved the whole speed-skating through town scene. Did they have any skating experience? John Whitesell: I'll tell you the secret. Danny, on that sequence, never put on a pair of skates. Q: Laughs John Whitesell: He's actually never in skates. He's got very bad ankles, and we were really afraid that we'd hurt him. Matthew, on the other hand, about three or four weeks before we started in New York, we brought down a guy from Lake Placid that's part of the speed-skating trainers Olympic team. He spent four weeks with Matthew, giving him form, and Matthew actually skated, almost all of his stuff is him. It's very funny, the blending of it together, that Matthew did mostly all of his and it looks pretty good, and is actually pretty proficient... and Danny never put a skate on. Q: I read that there was a kissing scene between Kristen Davis and Matthew Broderick that was cut because it wasn't PG enough. Was it just a little bit too out of place for this movie? John Whitesell: I don't know if it wasn't PG enough. I think there was more innuendo in the scene, as opposed to the actual kissing as a problem. There was a little more innuendo that was in the conversation that we really felt that was necessary for a family movie. Q: It wasn't even the kissing part, it was just kind of... John Whitesell: No, it wasn't the kissing part. It wasn't like sloppy open-mouth kissing or anything. It was more what they were saying and we were more concerned about the innuendo than the physicality of it. It was a little awkward for both of them, being friends and knowing each other for so long from Sex and the City. Of course, Sarah (Jessica Parker, Broderick's wife) wasn't an issue, but they had a really nice relationship because they knew each other and there was a comfort there. I don't think we were looking for a real sexual kind of heat from them. They were kind of our married couple that had been married for awhile. I think it was also long at that point, if I remember right. We were needing to move the movie along right there and we didn't think it was helping us.Nov 7, 2007 from BostonNOW:

JERRY SEINFELD: There was, and there was a huge, very elaborate musical production number that I ended up having to get rid of, because it just seemed to throw off the plot drive at a crucial moment. But, there is the song that Matthew and I did that’s at the end of the credits. That’s the only thing that remains. Oct 26, 2007

Sarah - who has a five-year-old son, James, with husband Matthew Broderick - said, "It's too late for me to have a big family - I can't imagine it now. But I do think that what people like Angelina Jolie do is amazing. I love being a mother and I would be thrilled if my family were larger but I can't imagine having eight children." The 42-year-old star admits she finds it hard to balance motherhood with being an actress because of all the attention it brings. She added to Britain's OK! magazine, "The loss of privacy scares me, that's why you don't hear me complaining about that stuff and that is why you can't trap me into talking about the paparazzi." "I don't know if I have found a happy balance with the cultural phenomenon of celebrity, especially what has happened over the last five years. I don't think I will ever understand or strike a balance with that."Oct 19, 2007 from Metro:

Determined not to make the same mistakes as her alter ego Carrie in the TV series Sex And The City, I'm told SJP, 42, and her 45-year-old husband are planning to take a break from the camera once their current movie commitments finish. The pair, who have a five-year-old son James, want to spend more time together as a family. 'After the Sex And The City film is over and Matthew's film projects have ended they want to take time out,' says a source in New York. 'They want 2008 to be a family year. This year they only got away for a week in May to celebrate their wedding anniversary at their holiday home in Donegal, and for a break in August.'Oct 9, 2007 from Variety:

Lathan recently appeared in "Nip/Tuck" and has a starring role in ABC's adaptation of the 2004 Broadway production of Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun," for which she received a Tony nomination.from This is Nottingham:
The Sex And The City star has been married to actor Matthew for a decade and says staying out of the "glare" of the spotlight has helped them cope with being a celebrity couple. The actress, 42, told Grazia magazine: "We've made decisions in our life that protect us from the glare and allow the relationship to be real. "It's great, awful, good, bad, disappointing, thrilling - you know, all the things that a real marriage is and all the things that make it a good one." Sarah Jessica also told how she loves being a family woman and adores being a mum to their son James, five. She said: "A normal day is waking up early, taking my son to school, answering emails, reading scripts, doing yoga or going to the market and replacing light bulbs."Oct 6, 2007

"We Got The Bee" makes its world premiere on Nickelodeon Monday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and can be accessed live on BeeMovie.com and Nick.com. Convincing 100 kids to dress up like bees was the easy part, but getting them to every corner of New York City was a bigger challenge for Dreamworks Animation. The solution: "The Bee Bus" -- a fully operational school bus painted in black and yellow stripes with two giant antennae and a huge stinger on the back. "The Bee Bus" and its cargo of "Bee Kids" painted the town black and yellow, spreading the words of Barry B. Benson -- "Think Bee!" They painted black stripes on yellow taxis, plastered "Think Bee" on empty walls and turned black and white crosswalks into a "Bee Crossing!" Even Times Square and the Empire State Building got a fresh coat of color. Black and Yellow -- Hello! Along for the ride was Jerry Seinfeld, the star and creative force behind "Bee Movie," which opens nationwide on November 2. Seinfeld met up with the "Bee Bus" at Shea Stadium to help the "Bee Kids" spread "Bee Mania" to all the Mets team players -- including all-star infielder David Wright. The video climaxes with a huge dance routine performed by the "Bee Kids" and the main characters from the film -- Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld), Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), Adam (Matthew Broderick) -- who all got to shake their stuff! But you don't have to be in "Bee Movie" to spread "Bee Mania" -- everyone is invited to 'sting' along! "We Got The Bee" was directed by acclaimed music video director Vem who has made videos for The Click Five and John Mayer. The song is performed by Alice Cohen with Hudson Soundlab NYC.Oct 3, 2007 from Hamptons Online:

Paul Anka, the writer and composer of "My Way," recomposed the song for the Plaza's developer, and Tony winning actor Matthew Broderick was the master of ceremonies. "As a native New Yorker, I know The Plaza is a beloved Big Apple institution, and to be with you tonight to celebrate this magnificent building on it's 100th birthday is truly an honor for me," said Broderick. "I think everyone in New York has a history in this rich place." The world famous Grucci fireworks company produced the largest pyrotechnics display ever launched from atop a building. Gal Nauer, Interior Architect, and daughter of the developer had nothing but reverence for The Plaza. "I've designed The Plaza basically to look The Plaza Way," said Nauer. “We have restored it to its original state to bring back the memories, to bring back the glorious architectural details of The Plaza itself. The Plaza is our inspiration."from New York Magazine:
"Let's go Mets," he said weakly at the start of his speech, then paused. "I'm over it." But he wasn't. Sunday had not been good, he said. "I was pretty miserable," he sighed. "The whole week was bad. This was a very painful season." He paused again. "Just the worst. You try to convince yourself that it doesn't matter, that these people are crazy for being so hurt by it all. But I am, too." He'd coped, he said, by imposing a total media blackout. "I don't look at it in the papers," he said. "I can't read the articles." He couldn't even make it through the game. "I had to leave by the third or fourth inning. I don't think in the first inning the Mets have ever been down 7-1. I mean, it was just awful." He went to see Transformers with his son, but even the sight of giant robots attacking one another failed to cheer him. Only one thing gave him solace: "It'll never happen again," he sighed. "I guess that's a good thing." Still, it was clear that the wounds were deep. He looked up at building, fireworks shooting out of every window, applauded, and sighed. "Now it's going to burn down."from New York Sun:

[High School Musical director/choreographer] Kenny Ortega: [Long pause] Improved? Gosh, back in the day, I remember working with Matthew Broderick, who came to me in a cold sweat and said, ''I’ve never danced in my life.'' And he was somewhat panicked. And he ended up just loving it! He danced on the float in the parade scene in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. That was a tremendous breakthrough for him. More recently, it’s watching the way [HSM star] Zac [Efron] has grown. Zac isn’t formally trained. And yet he can get in the mirror with all these kids who come out of real formal training, and hang with them. You know, sheer will. During breaks he doesn’t leave the mirror — he’ll grab someone, and say, Review that with me. He puts the work into it. And the guy next to him, Corbin Bleu, has been studying with Debbie Allen his whole life — and this doesn’t intimidate Zac; it inspires him and excites him. I’m really impressed with Zac on so many levels. Remarkable kid.Sep 25, 2007 from Stylephile:

Which isn't to suggest getting Then She Found Me off the ground was elementary -- Hunt had been trying to make the film for 10 years. At one point, she "put (the script) away for a couple of years. Then big things happened in my life and some big things happened in my imagination and I started to get the pieces together." The cast, she says, coalesced "one by one. I've known Matthew all my adult life and Colin seemed perfect for it." After exploring the idea of casting a lesser-known-actress as her mother, she approached Midler "because I realized I needed someone who's a big star because this character thinks she's as famous as Bette Midler."Sep 10, 2007 from THINKFilm:

The movie fast-forwards Ferris' life about 20 years. In the years since high school, Ferris has turned his carefree "Life Moves Pretty Fast" motto into a motivational self-help career -- think Tony Robbins, only with a beret and sweater vest. His best friend Cameron is still at his side, managing his massive business. But despite his phenomenal success, Ferris is a bit distracted on his 40th birthday (which, considering his massive fame, is being watched on pay-per-view TV by millions of devoted fans). He decides to take the day off, sending Cameron, his business associates and family into a frenzy. Rapier says he hopes John Hughes would direct the movie and all the actors would return to reprise their original roles, including Matthew Broderick ("Ferris), Alan Ruck ("Cameron") and Jeffrey Jones ("Ed Rooney"). And what are the characters all up to now?

Parker met Broderick when he was directing a play starring her brother. "It's funny because I never used to go to the movies a lot, but I had paid to see all his films before I'd ever met him. I said to him recently that I always thought he was a great actor, but I never thought for a second that I would meet him, let alone date him. We just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary, and we've been together for 15 years." from AHN:

Later, everyone was encouraged to retire to a renovated "party barn" from the eighteenth century to dance the night away. Tunes came courtesy of Paul Sevigny. Though she was wearing Ferragamo, Jessica Seinfeld sported an unexpectedly frugal accessory: bracelets from Parker's new fashion collection, Bitten. "It's changed my life," she enthused of the low-priced line. "I live in it. I've told her to make stuff for men and kids." As for concerns that Parker and Broderick might be upset that their nearby estate was only OK! magazine's No. 9 celebrity party pad? "There's no tension," Jerry Seinfeld said. Jul 10, 2007 from ELLE:
ON FAMILY: "James Wilkie is so conscious now of the time we spend together," she says of her four-and-a-half-year-old. "I try to be home to tuck him in at least four nights a week, and if I'm not, he's not letting me get away with anything. The other night I was sitting with him on the steps before Matthew and I went out to the theater, and he looked at me and said, 'Mama, this has got to stop. Go upstairs and take that dress off.'" ON MARRIAGE: "Actually, it's not hard to be a private couple," Parker says. "I see some people who do it really well, and then I see people who make me skeptical about their deep desire to be so private. It's like, 'Are you sure that's what you really want?'" She and Broderick learned long ago to avoid the dual red-carpet walk. "That's where they get you. Suddenly it becomes, 'Oh, when are you guys going to have another baby?'" she says, in a tone firmly implying that, if she were to tell, it wouldn't be to anyone wielding a tape recorder. "We try not to talk about the relationship. It's not that we're not proud; it's just that's the kiss of death."Jul 7, 2007

Cady Huffman: Rehearsals. It was extremely well cast for one thing. So, every day, was these great guys, Nathan [Lane] and Matthew [Broderick] and Gary [Beach] and Roger [Bart]. We went through a couple of different Franz-es. But every day, coming in, trying stuff, falling down, getting up. It was the safest environment I've ever been in. I think it was probably because there was nothing to change. It was well cast, and everybody was just brave enough to do what they needed to do. Jun 19, 2007

Bee Movie is Jerry Seinfeld's first major project since his legendary sitcom went off the air in 1998. In the animated comedy, Seinfeld is Barry Bee Benson, a bee who has just graduated from college but isn't thrilled about the one career option he has available: to make honey for humans. He meets a florist (Renee Zellweger) and ends up in a battle with the human race over their rampant consumption of honey. And Chris Rock rounds out the cast as Mooseblood the mosquito, who joins up with Barry. After a 30-minute preview of the movie, the famous co-stars shared why they signed up with Seinfeld. Fellow comedian Rock didn't hesitate. "Jerry called. I said, 'yeah.' " Bee is Rock's second turn as an animated character. He was the voice behind Marty the zebra in 2005's Madagascar. And do daughters Lola Simone, 4, and Zahra Savannah, 3, think he's a superstar after the two animated films? "It's more with their friends. They think I am." Matthew Broderick, who also is a bee in the film, says son James Wilke, 4, is "going to be thrilled." Broderick didn't have to stretch to play Seinfeld's best friend in the movie. "We're friends. I love Jerry's work," he said. However, he added, "I'm not like the character I play. I don't play by the rules." Zellweger had no bug phobias to overcome for this film, but added, "Ticks are not my favorite." She also was impressed with the leader of the gang. "Jerry's comedy comes from his intelligence," she said. Man of the hour Seinfeld showed up with wife Jessica, whose arm was in a sling. When asked what happened to her, he replied, "a little backtalk. She got plowed over on the ski slope." And with everyone buzzing over Bee, will he do another film project? "I never plan anything," he said. "I'll do a little stand-up."from Open All Night:
Guests got to watch about thirty minutes of clips from the unfinished film, and listen to the funny folks kibbitz. “How did I wind up doing this?" Seinfeld wondered aloud. “After the TV series, I didn’t really want to do anything. I really still don’t." But his passion pulled him out of his torpor. “I love bees", the comic said. Unlike most animated movies, the actors actually worked together on Bee Movie. Broderick and Seinfeld are friends off screen, which they feel helped the process. “For me, of limited acting skills, I have to be with someone who I really do like! I can’t pretend", Seinfeld told the audience. “People don’t realize how funny [Broderick] actually is. He does a great Brando impression", he added.Jun 17, 2007 from New York Post:

"When talking around your child you have to think very carefully and you have to be prudent about you're choice of words. You talk about people looking for happiness and fulfilment in their lives and how all families are different and look different. You're forced to really consider your answers. You're forced to think a lot about what you're saying and how you're saying it - even the tone." Sarah took James to his first celebrity party last week (May 15). The actress and her son attended the launch party for stylist Serge Normant at New York's John Frieda salon. She said: "He loves Serge. He wanted to come."May 22, 2007 from New York Times:
The production is still alive, though, and will be part of the Manhattan Theater Club's 2007-8 season at City Center. "The Starry Messenger" is Mr. Lonergan's first new play since "Lobby Hero" in 2001, a return to theater that he has been looking forward to. "When I go by a movie set, I cringe," Mr. Lonergan said in a phone interview yesterday. "When I go by the Provincetown Playhouse on Macdougal Street and see all the actors onstage rehearsing, it makes me feel all warm inside."May 18, 2007 from The Oprah Winfrey Show:
Aside from loving music, theater and his superhero capes, Sarah Jessica says James Wilke is also very curious about social issues—like what being gay means. "His school is a school in New York City and so there's people that have children who have two mamas and two papas, and so it sort of authentically happens, this conversation," she says. "You think very carefully and you're prudent about the choice of words, and then you talk about people looking for happiness and fulfillment in their life and how all families are different and look different." As a mom, Sarah Jessica says that she often thinks about the answers she gives her son. "You're forced to think a lot about what you're saying and how you're saying it and even the tone," she says. Still, that doesn't make the tough questions any easier! "He asked me where babies come from," she says, "and you find yourself saying, 'You know, your papa will be home at 6:00, and he's far better equipped to discuss that particular part of your body than I am.'" Sarah Jessica and her hubby Matthew Broderick are celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary. "It's amazing," she says. "I actually didn't realize it was 10 … but he was the one that reminded me last week." So what will they do to celebrate? "We have no ideas and we have no babysitter," she says. "But I expect that we'll probably cook dinner and spend a better part of the evening with James Wilke." One thing they won't be doing is exchanging gifts, because Sarah Jessica says there's nothing either of them need. But there is one thing she would like. "I would love a note," she says. "Because a note, I'll have it forever."May 17, 2007 from Cleveland Jewish News:

Jeff Brown, a location manager for Plum Pictures, came to council Monday night with a detailed proposal and production schedule. Traffic will be affected by the filming. A "traffic jam" scene scheduled to be filmed on May 29 at Bank and Mill streets will close off the intersection. An emergency lane will be maintained, but all other traffic will be rerouted where Bank Street/Vernoy Road meets with Valley Brook Road. Mr. Brown said that a state trooper will be there. All residents of Bank Street will be notified of the exact filming times that day, he said. The crew also plans to film some exteriors of the borough school. The production trucks will be stationed at the Califon United Methodist Church and the crew will be eating at Califon Fine Foods or Rambo's Country Store, he said. On the second day of filming, shots will be taken of a car driving up Main Street over the bridge and turning on Philhower Avenue. Scenes will also be filmed inside Rambo's before the trucks pack up and head out of the borough. In the event of inclement weather, the crew would reverse the filming days, he said. Though there is not a charge for filming here, Plum Pictures offered to donate $500 to either the borough or to a worthy cause. Mayor Bud Burnett asked if Mr. Brown could double that so that $500 could go to each the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Mr. Brown said he'd look into that.May 6, 2007 from Washington Post:

Film Location Manager Jeffrey Brown, who has worked on the sets of movies like "The Baxter", "Maria Full of Grace" and "Spider Man 3," thinks the area is perfect for the Terry Kinney-directed comedy. The movie script calls for "a large house that's isolated near a wide river," Brown said. The house, which was chosen, is about 100-years-old. "It's exciting to have famous people in our town," said resident Kathryn Luttman, 33, after hearing about the movie. "Hopefully this will put us on the map for something good; we usually get put on the map if a tragedy happens." "It's just a nice thing to see your town in a movie," said resident John French. "In Fishkill, you have the mountains, the Hudson River, the valley — it's beautiful." Plum Pictures hopes to complete the film in time to submit it to 2008 Sunday Film Festival, which is held in January, Brown said. The film is also shooting in Chicago.May 2, 2007 from Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune:

For actress Penelope Ann Miller, the acting icon was a lovable goofball. She recalls a dinner she had with costars Matthew Broderick and Bruno Kirby during the production of the 1990 Brando comedy "The Freshman." "We felt these little things hitting us and falling on the table," she says. "We looked down and there were these little rolled-up balls of bread." The prankster turned out to be Brando.

It was an emotional, highly charged matinee at the St. James Theatre as the show's current Max (John Treacy Egan) and Leo (Hunter Foster) led the company through the show - to raucous cheers, particularly during its legendary "Springtime for Hitler" number. At the curtain after the cast took its bows, Brooks came on stage with director-choreographer Susan Stroman and co-book writer Thomas Meehan to even more wild applause. "It has been the best experience for me since World War II. And (with) just about as much noise," joked Brooks, who also wrote the show's music and lyrics. "We have had six years ... of frolic and joy, and you have been such an incredibly good audience to really cap it off and give us such a rich, final performance. I love everybody on stage, backstage and out front." "We love you, Mel," yelled a voice from the audience, which included a contingent of "Producers," fans, many of whom had come back to see the musical for one last time.Apr 18, 2007 from ASCAP:

Actually, the management has given Dafoe three tables in the best corner, as befits a movie star who prefers not to be bothered by the public. As for Broderick's guest appearance, it goes with the territory, Dafoe explains. " A lot of actors live around here." If there is an East Coast equivalent of Los Angeles' Ivy restaurant, perennially filled with Hollywood heavyweights, this, apparently, is it. Mar 22, 2007

"You know, they spoke differently, but it never bothered me. They're every bit as smart and sophisticated as every generation that came after them," Broderick added. The 1930s flick, which takes place in a lush German hotel, got Broderick reminiscing about his favorite bed-away-from-home experiences. "I love all hotels! Sometimes, it's the only thing that I love about my job. I love the Bel-Air in California, the Ritz in Madrid, and the Savoy in London—and I just stayed in the Ritz-Carlton in Pasadena while shooting a film there for six weeks." Speaking of travel, Broderick's wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, was busy doing her some jet-setting of her own. "She's far away in Japan for the whole week," Broderick said. Feb 28, 2007 from PR Web:

"My mother and brother read a short story by Richard Feynman called 'Why Do You Care What Other People Think?'. They thought it was wonderful how Feynman's love life gave him courage to be a great scientist," said Broderick's sister the Reverend Janet Broderick, Rector of Grace Church Van Vorst. Grace Church Van Vorst is a welcoming congregation of the Episcopal Church. It is over 155 years old and a long contributing member of the Hudson County arts community.

The closing date suggests that producers were unsuccessful in convincing the musical's original stars, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, to come back for another turn.

The show, both on Broadway and in various touring productions, has collected in more than $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, according to reps. "The last six years working on this show have been pure joy for me," Brooks said. "There is not a single person who has ever been involved with this production to whom I am not gratefully indebted to for their talent, devotion and support during the run of The Producers. All of my Broadway experiences to date have been everything I could have hoped they would be and more." Susan Stroman, who directed and choreographed the show, said, "This show is first and foremost a tribute to Broadway. I give my most heartfelt thank you to every performer, writer, designer, crew member, musician, producer and the countless others who have made this show part of theatre history. I can truly say that I have had the privilege of working with the best of Broadway. The sound of laughter is the greatest sound on earth, and I have been lucky enough to experience that sound every day for the last six years. But I consider myself luckiest for having had the chance to collaborate with the brilliant and spontaneous mind of Mel Brooks."Feb 20, 2007 from New York Daily News:
