Britains Prince Philip Leaves Hospital

First Published: December 27, 2011 11:59 AM EST Credit: Getty Images Caption Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is driven from Papworth Hospital after receiving treatment for a blocked artery in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, on December 27, 2011LONDON, U.K. -- Britains Prince Philip returned to the royal familys country estate Tuesday, after a spell in the hospital undergoing treatment for a blocked coronary artery. Philip, Queen Elizabeth IIs 90-year-old husband, spent four nights in the hospital recovering from a successful coronary stent procedure. He was taken to Papworth, a specialist heart hospital in Cambridge, on Friday after complaining of chest pains. It was the most serious health scare suffered by Philip, who is known to be active and robust. He has continued to appear at many engagements, most recently taking a 10-day tour of Australia with the queen. For the first time in years he was forced to miss the royal familys traditional Christmas festivities, which include attending a morning church service, viewing the queens annual Christmas broadcast together, and a shooting party on Boxing Day. Philip did not speak to reporters as he was driven away from the hospital in a Range Rover Tuesday morning, though he smiled and waved to those gathered to film his departure. He is very much looking forward to rejoining his family, a Buckingham Palace statement said, adding that he also thanked the hospital staff for their care. Philip will now return to Sandringham, the queens huge private estate in rural Norfolk where the royal family retreats for the holiday season every year. It is not yet clear if Philips heart problem will cause a reduction in his plans to travel with the queen next year to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. He is scheduled to make a series of trips to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to help her mark her 60th year on the throne. Dr. Allen Schwartz, chief of cardiology at NY-Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, said that an otherwise healthy 90-year-old could be expected to resume normal activity shortly after having a stent procedure. The treatment now would be aimed at three things: recuperation from the procedure, which is usually relatively minor, eliminating factors that might lead to a recurrence of the problem, with an appropriate diet and exercise program, and, depending on the type of stent, some medicine to reduce the chance of clotting, Schwartz said. Now that Philip has been found to have coronary artery blockages, he is likely to be treated with several medications that are routinely prescribed for heart patients. In most cases these medicines would include a daily dosage of aspirin to thin the blood, a statin to lower cholesterol, and possibly a beta-blocker and a separate medicine to control blood pressure. Philip would also be expected to have his heart function tested every six months or so to check for any changes. Philip had already announced when he turned 90 that he intended to slow down his extremely active schedule. The Diamond Jubilee plans reflected this desire, with the queen deciding to send her children and grandchildren on grueling overseas trips to Commonwealth countries while she and her husband make less demanding trips throughout the United Kingdom.

Matt Damon Blasts Leader Obama Again

First Released: December 22, 2011 2:24 PM EST Credit: Getty Images La, Calif. -- Caption Matt Damon steps out in the Contagion premiere at Lincoln subsequently Center in NY City on September 7, 2011Academy Award champion Matt Damon was among Barack Obamas most vocal Hollywood supporters within the 2008 election, however the actor has since transformed his tune. After speaking out against Obamas economic choices to Piers Morgan this past year, the We Purchased a Zoo star has expressed his disappointment using the Commander-in-Chief all over again. Ive spoken to numerous individuals who labored for Obama in the grassroots level. One of these stated in my experience, No more. I should never be misled again with a politician, Matt, 41, told Elle magazine inside a new interview. You realize, a 1-term leader with a few balls who really got stuff done could have been, over time of the nation, far better. Referencing nearby Occupy Vancouver protestors (the job interview happened within the British Columbian city), Matt stated the Leader had ample of the mandate to create more drastic political choices. When the Dems believe that they didnt possess a mandatepeople are actually with no focus or leadership, just wandering out in to the roads to yell at this time since they're so pissed off, he told the mag. Let's suppose they'd an innovator. As formerly reported on AccessHollywood.com, though Matt might have strong political opinions, the actor shot lower gossips of possible political aspirations captured. When requested with a paparazzo if hed consider running for Leader in August, Matt rapidly responded, No, mister. Adding, I believe you will find most likely better options available.

Gary Oldman Calls 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' Role 'Colossal'

Dealing with the role of John le Carré's master spy, George Smiley, involves moving two enormous obstacles. First, the legendary Alec Guinness stated the smoothness for themself within the beloved BBC miniseries of "Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" from 1979. Second, outdoors the greater descriptive realm of the books, Smiley is really a mystery, a quiet, poker-faced old professional you never know the spy game too well to betray his ideas or feelings, if he's any whatsoever. But Gary Oldman has demonstrated he can be the job. His performance within the new film adaptation of "Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" received universal praise from experts among his finest and something on componen with Guinness'. Oldman opened up as much as MTV News about playing Smiley and also the satisfaction the part gave him. Personally for Oldman, the role means a lot more than the character's history. "To begin with, I've not really performed a number one role in 10 years, therefore the past 10 years happen to be really fantasy-based with Gordon [in Christopher Nolan's Batman films] and Sirius Black [within the 'Harry Potter' films]. It is a colossal role for the reason that sense," he stated. Apart from playing his first lead role in a long time, Oldman also reached approach a personality who internalizes the majority of his ideas and feelings. George Smiley's status being an icon of TV and literature also added another layer of complexity towards the role. "It had been legendary before I even came," Oldman stated. "I am talking about, you will find roles that you simply play that may become that. It had been an chance to actually live while watching camera. I have performed individuals those who have needed to go to town psychologically, inside a physical way. He would be a great chance to simply breathe." "Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" opens wide today (December 16). Are you currently excited to determine Gary Oldman inside a lead role? Tell us within the comments below as well as on Twitter!

The Black List 2011: Screenplay Roster

The Black List 2011: By Agencies The Black List 2011: By Managers A screenplay titledTHE IMITATION GAME by Graham Moore, about British WWII cryptographer Alan Turing who cracked the German Enigma code and later poisoned himself after being criminally prosecuted for being a homosexual, tops 2011s THE BLACK LIST. Once again, Deadline Hollywood is first to post in its entirety THE BLACK LIST, which for the uninitiated is film executive Franklin Leonards hot unproduced screenplay pecking order which he began in 2004. Compiled every year from the suggestions of hundreds of film executives, each contributes the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not be released in theaters during this calendar year. THE BLACK LIST does catapult dozens of scripts into production and screenwriters out of oblivion. Diablo Codys Juno, Nancy Olivers Lars And The Real Girl, Scott Neustaders and Michael Webers 500 Days Of Summer, are just some of the screenplays which appeared on The Black List and then were made. Ive noticed that its also a big dick measuring contest for the Hollywood agencies and their motion picture lit departments. Problem is, some screenwriters think this list isnt on the up-and-up and accuse junior studio execs and assistants along with self-interested agents and managers of getting together to push their own clients on projects even if already abandoned. Also, if you spot inaccuracies, take it up with Leonard: I do not alter his list. Anyway, climb off the ledge if youre not on THE BLACK LIST. And, if you did make the cut, then congratulations: The Black List was compiled from the suggestions of over 300 film executives, each of whom contributed the names of up to ten of their favorite scripts that were written in, or are somehow uniquely associated with, 2011 and will not have begun principal photography during this calendar year. This year, scripts had to receive at least six mentions to be included on the The Black List. All reasonable effort has been made to confirm the information contained herein. The Black List apologizes for all misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation identification, and questionable 2011 affiliations. It has been said many times, but its worth repeating: The Black List is not a best of list. It is, at best, a most liked list.

While Ellis hasnt been reported to play much of a part in the making of the remake, he did give Scott the thumps up, if he should land the role. (Full disclosure: we dont think hell get it, even though he totally should.) I have warned Lionsgate that I will not approve a new version of 'American Psycho' unless it stars SCOTT DISICK or MILES FISHER, he wrote, later teasing, I am waiting for Scott Disick to ask: Who in the hell is Bret Easton Ellis? But, Scott being the always awesome TV personality he is, quickly put Ellis in his place, telling him, Not going to happen, I know just who u r! Currently the script, which was recently turned into the studio after being pitched earlier this year, is being helmed by Noble Jones, who worked on David Finchers The Social Network, and will explore how Bateman would fare in modern-day Gotham. Regardless of what does happen, Scott did win something this week. He placed at #14 on our list of the Top 50 TV characters of 2011. Wed like to think its a worthy consolation prize!

Game-Maker Zynga Unveils IPO Plans As Investors Grow Wary Of Tech

The maker of popular Facebook games including FarmVille and Mafia Wars says this morning in an SEC filing that it hopes to end up with nearly $890M froma public offering of 100M shares at an expected price of about $9.25 a share. The stock will trade at NASDAQ under the symbol ZNGA. The cash will be used for “general corporate purposes”which could include acquisitions. The company says it also plans to contribute a some of the net proceeds to charitable causes through its philanthropic initiative, Zynga.org. Today’s announcement follows its disclosure this past summer that it planned to go public — seizing on Wall Street’s infatuation with tech companies. Investors have become a little more skeptical about the category, though: For example, Pandora Media is down about 40% since it went public in June. LinkedIn is down 28% since May. And Groupon lost 27% of its market value after it hit the market early last month.Zyngainvestors also will have no power over the company. The Class A shares that the public will buy have one vote per share. But insiders including founder and CEO Mark Pincus control the Class B and Class C stock that account for 98.2% of allthe voting shares. Zynga has close ties to DreamWorks Animation; Jeffrey Katzenberg is a member of its board. The studio also was an early ad sponsor. For example, players building cities in the game CityVille could add drive-in movie theaters that played Kung Fu Panda 2. Zynga says that it’s “the worlds leading social game developer” with 227Maverage monthly active users in 175 countries. In the nine months ending in September it had a net profit of $30.7M, down 35.5% from the same period last year, on revenues of $828.9M, up 106.3%.
