such films "focus on the spirit-sapping contradictions between being well-known and mortally flawed, of trying to reconcile private needs and public demand." Toronto Star 09/16/05

What If They Gave Out The Emmys And Nobody Watched? The Emmy Awards telecast is coming up this weekend, and from all reports it ought to be one entertaining evening, with the multiple stars of Desperate Housewives battling each other in the same category. But in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and with Americans demonstrating a decided fatigue with the culture of self-congratulatory celebrity, will anyone be watching? "Last fall, the Emmy telecast suffered the second-lowest ratings in history. Then the Golden Globe Awards, the People's Choice Awards and the Grammy Awards were all clobbered in the ratings by original episodes of Housewives, which aired opposite each of the ceremonies." Chicago Tribune (LA Daily News) 09/16/05

Washington Ballet Settles Labor Case "Rather than proceed with a National Labor Relations Board hearing, the Washington Ballet has settled a discrimination complaint with the union representing its dancers, bringing to a close an episode that shone an unflattering light on the inner workings of the institution. The American Guild of Musical Artists had alleged that Artistic Director Septime Webre had illegally dismissed two dancers in retaliation for their efforts enabling AGMA to represent the dancers. The ballet maintained that the two were let go for artistic reasons. One dancer, Brian Corman, was rehired after AGMA filed its complaint... Nikkia Parish, the other dancer in the case, has not been rehired." Washington Post 09/16/05
