'Harry Potter' Star Daniel Radcliffe To Host SNL!

by Kat Rosenfield Set your DVRs, Potterheads: after vanquishing the Dark Lord in the eighth and final film of the HP franchise this summer, Daniel Radcliffe is about to take on the Voldemort of television hosting duties with his very first turn on Saturday Night Live! The actor will take the stage at Rockefeller Center on January 14th, along with musical guest Lana Del Rey, just a few short weeks before his new movie "The Woman In Black" premieres in theaters. Considering Daniel's immense fame, it's a little surprising that he hasn't scored an SNL hosting gig before -- and that means that, for the first time ever, the show's clever crew of writers can have their way with one of the "Harry Potter" cast members. What can we expect from the show? It's anyone's guess, but we're hoping for sketches that showcase Daniel's unique history on stage and screen. For instance... Song-and-Dance After Daniel's starring turn in "How to Succeed in Business" this year, we're expecting him to follow in the footsteps of Christopher Walken with an all-out, fully choreographed singing monologue to start off the show. Scared Straight, Hogwarts-style! Kenan Thompson is often joined by guest hosts in this sketch, where the two play convicts charged with terrifying a group of juvenile delinquents into staying out of trouble. The dementor jokes are writing themselves as we speak. Harry Potter And The Digital Short After all these long years of waiting, it'll be truly devastating if Andy Samberg and co don't jump at this chance to write a slow, sensuous ballad full of wand-related double entendre. Also, LOTS of auto-tune. Got any sketch ideas for Daniel's first turn on SNL? Let us know in the comments section and on Twitter!

Analysts' Views on Zynga Stock Differ Ahead of IPO

As part of its business plan Relativity Media has output deals in most countries around the world. One major exception was Germany, until now. On Wednesday, Relativity announced it was entering a joint venture with Senator Entertainment for a distribution output agreement; while also making an investment in Senator. Among the Relativity movies that Senator will distribute are Hunter Killer, Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven and Afterburn. This agreement means Relativity now has deals for distribution of its movies in every territory in the world with the exception of Japan, Korea and Italy. That allows Relativity to not only assure it will have its movies exploited in each country but also means that it can count on certain minimum guarantees, based on the budget of the movie, which enhances its ability to plan and produce movies. Senator, which has operated in Germany for many years, was recently recapitalized by Sapinda Holding, a global investor based in Amsterdam, that also has offices in London, Berlin and five other countries. According to the announcement, Sapinda, described as a multi-billion dollar fund, may also provide funding to Relativity for other future strategic initiatives as part of the new relationship. "Senator has a long history within the competitive German marketplace. With their new financial commitment from Sapinda, we are optimistic about the future of the business. This new venture is much more than an output deal, it's a long-term strategic partnership," says Relativity's Co-President, Tucker Tooley in a statement. "The relationship sets a new starting point for our company. With Relativity providing its top-of-the-line films to us, Senator will be able to strengthen and expand its position in the German film market on all levels," says Senator CEO Helge Sasse in a statement.

Chuck Designers Share A Common Episodes

Chuck Because the spy series Chuck rides off in to the sunset, we grilled cocreators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak for his or her favorite expanded polystyrene. Chuck Versus Father Christmas (Season 2, Episode 11)This episode originates from our two great inspirations: the holidays and Die Hard. We like both of them equally. The storyline line - a hostage crisis within the Buy More - was perfect since it introduced our figures into one place, allowing them to play off one another and take part in the spy action. Nothing causes us to be more happy than seeing Awesome [Ryan McPartlin] and Large Mike [Mark Christopher Lawrence] save your day. Also, the scene where Chuck [Zachary Levi] watches girlfriend Sarah [Yvonne Strahovski] shoot an unarmed Fulcrum agent inside a Christmas-tree lot symbolized a level within their relationship. Chuck was deeply in love with a really harmful spy. Chuck Versus the Colonel (Season 2, Episode 21)Featuring our best set pieces - the environment strike in the abandoned drive-in theater - and 2 in our favorite guest stars: Scott Bakula and Chevrolet Chase. Also it's filled with great moments for the figures: Casey [Adam Baldwin] will get marketed to colonel and tears a radiator in the wall of the motel room Morgan [Joshua Gomez] quits the shop and whisks Anna off to Hawaii. Plus there is Chuck and Sarah getting out of bed in each other peoples arms and... well... there is a nice moment. Obviously, maybe most pivotal of, Awesome discovers that Chuck is really a spy, our first move toward bridging Chuck's two lives. Chuck Versus the Newly-weds on their honeymoon (Season 3, Episode 14)At Chuck, we'd split every season into two parts. Part one may be the original order. The second reason is the "Oh, garbage, they purchased more episodes. How can we handle the large high cliff-hanger in the finish of 13?" This episode was the very first after Chuck and Sarah formally grew to become a few. Now, it's really a dangerous move for just about any show to unite its lead couple you have to prove they will be as entertaining to look at together as once they were looking at one another longingly over the courtyard. We, though, were built with a ace in the hole. Two, really. Zac and Yvonne. Within this episode - a mission on the train outdoors Paris - they demonstrated they might play a kick-ass couple who may be for each other. They are charming and funny and romantic, plus they demonstrated we're able to propel the show in another direction. Chuck Versus Phase 3 (Season 4, Episode 9)Sarah, "The Large Blonde She-Male of Thailand," fights her way with the Thai underworld to be able to save Chuck. This episode is an excellent showcase for Yvonne, who gave her all in probably the most difficult fight moments we have ever done. Amazingly, she's incredibly beautiful throughout. [And] it's her dramatic performance that ties this course of action epic together. She's a lady who'll visit absolutely nothing to save the guy she loves.
