Steve Carell
Steve Carell, who plays cringe-worthy boss Michael Scott on The Office, has inked a three-year first-look deal with Warner Bros.
The deal comes after Get Smart grossed $130 million domestically and $230 million worldwide for Warner Bros. Although the studio is ramping up a sequel for Carell, it will not be a part of the overall deal, reports Variety .

Anne Hathaway is finally speaking out about the arrest of her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri.Follieri, 30, was arrested in June on charges of wire fraud and money laundering, and had been dating Hathaway, 25, for four years before she broke off the relationship hours before his arrest, reports Us Weekly.Hathaway, who was interviewed for October's W magazine, said, "As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart," she says in the issue. "And then I spent a week in shock at a friend's house."The actress said that working during such an intense emotional experience was eased by the kindness of friends and her costar Steve Carell. Hathaway told W, "Steve Carell stepped up for me during an interview when someone asked a question [about it]. He said, 'At some point you're going to have to talk about this time in your life. You don't have to do it this week. I'll take care of anything that comes your way.'"Though she admits she...

As the season rushes to a close, you win some, you lose some. Take Steve Carell, who got a bonus in Thursday’s finale of The Office (one of the rare hour-long episodes that didn’t wear out its welcome) with the arrival of Amy Ryan as new HR chief Holly. I’ll miss Toby, but for as long as she stays, she’s terrific.Two nights later, however, Carell presided over a miserably and all-too-typically unfunny season finale of Saturday Night Live—sparked only by two cameos by John McCain, spoofing his age (“the oldness it takes to protect America, to honor her, love her and tell her about what cute things the cat did”) and then during Weekend Update, satirically urging the Democrats: “Do not under any circumstances pick a candidate too soon.” When SNL sticks to politics, it’s generally pretty sharp. Otherwise, the eyes glaze, and not just because it’s past midnight. (Did enjoy Ricky Gervais’ droll bit, lording it over the American O...

Hey guys, it's Erin Fox, back from vacation. Thanks so much to Adam Bryant for filling in while I was gone. We always have lively discussions about SNL on Mondays, so I knew he'd be a fantastic addition to the recap blog. Yay, Adam!So tonight is the season finale, and Steve "The Office and now big movie star" Carell is hosting. If I recall, last time he hosted wasn't all that phenomenal, but hopefully, that won't be the case tonight... especially with all the political fun to be had.Cold OpeningSteve starts off giving an address to some graduates from the "Pounder School." The name is awesome, even though I don't get the reference yet. He talks about how this school is for outsiders, that no one, regardless of background or funny sounding names would ever be made fun of... this is a family. Now he reads the names of the seniors, which is every name Bart Simpson would use to crank phone call Mo (and much dirtier ones). Some of my favorites, "Jack David Mehoff," "Lotta Christine Semen...

Steve Carell took some time out at the premiere of his new movie Horton Hears a Who! to chat about The Office's much-anticipated return. Filming on the NBC hit resumed March 6, and six episodes will round out this post-strike season. When asked about upcoming plotlines, Carell remarked, "The first [returning] episode is the one that was written previous to the strike. It involves Michael Scott having a dinner party for some of the couples in the office — and obviously things go terribly awry."Another bonus for Office fans, courtesy of Carell: The season finale will be an hour long. The Office returns April 10 at 9 pm/ET. — Summer Brooks

The Nude Bomb courtesy Universal Studios
Would you believe?The new Get Smart film is hitting theaters on June 20, starring Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway and Adam Arkin as Maxwell Smart, Agent 99 and the Chief. Also in are Dwayne Johnson, Terence Stamp and - according to the fine print on the poster credits - former Las Vegas honcho James Caan!This isn't the first time Agent 86 will be in theaters, though! The first time was in 1980's film The Nude Bomb. Don Adams returned to the role he made famous in the 1965 television series, this time without Barbara Feldon as Agent 99. Instead he was joined by Dana Elcar (MacGyver, Baa Baa Black Sheep) as the Chief, Sylvia Kristel (Emmanuelle, Private School) as a sexy Agent 34 and Pamela Hensley (Buck Rogers, Matt Houston) as an equally easy-on-the-eyes Agent 35. Andrea Howard, however, is considered the most "99-like" in her role as Agent 22.Universal Studios has announced the first-ever DVD release of The Nude Bomb, coming out on June 17... just in time to compare to the new Steve Ca...

If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James Gandolfini? (And if the Globes is going to shower love on Big Love, how could the women who play Bill's wives go unheralded, especially Ginnifer Goodwin?) Californication over Weeds?But let's look at the bright side. The Hollywood Foreign Press clearly spent some time checking out the TV landscape during last summer's remarkable season of cable breakthroughs. My own pick for No. 1 show of the year, AMC's Mad Men, is nominated for best drama, along with its dashing leading man, Jon Hamm. FX's Damages,...

Jan and Michael face off over a lawsuit. Steve Carell and Melora Hardin by Byron Cohen/NBC.
Episode Recap: The Deposition (November 15, 2007)Was anyone else convinced that Michael and Jan were going to break up before the end of this episode? They’re hardly a stable couple even in the best of times, but here it was practically a competition to see who could do the most vicious thing to the other (or at the very least, to reveal who had acted worse in the past). Let’s see: Michael emailed a topless photo of Jan to everyone in the company, so in turn she stole his diary and handed it over to her lawyer as evidence. She gave him a terrible performance review (okay, that one was probably justified), and he in turn sided with Dunder-Mifflin in her lawsuit, effectively destroying her case. Their horribly awkward conversation during the car ride home was nothing less than a look at a relationship on life support. Both Michael and Jan seemed committed to each other more out of desperation and loneliness than any sort of genuine affection. This might be the rare case wher...
