Simon Cowell & Paula Abdul Reunite After Drews X Factor Departure

First Published: December 7, 2011 6:09 PM EST Credit: Access Hollywood Caption Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul chat with Access Hollywoods Billy Bush in Los Angeles on December 6, 2011LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Drews departure from The X Factor caused a rift between Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, after Paulas vote sealed the contestants fate, but Access Hollywoods Billy Bush helped reunite the pair after not speaking for days. Are you mad at her? Billy asked Simon in his posh trailer on the set of the hit FOX reality series. Not now, I was, Simon said. I took responsibility [for Drews departure,] but look, when youre close to an artist you get emotional and I was pissed. Do you guys ever have moments where you really do not want to talk to each other afterwards? Billy asked Simon and Paula. Its been six days, Paula said of how long they had not spoken to each other. With Simons spat with Paula apparently smoothed over, does the feisty British judge also have an issue with fellow judge/mentor Nicole Scherzinger? Theres one rumor that Nicole is going to get switched out, that youre going to move her to the UK X-Factor and move Kelly Rowland here, Billy said. That is not true, Simon said. And with the competition down to just five contestants, is Simon willing to pick one to win? Im not making any more predictions, Billy, because everything I predict, Im getting wrong. So, Im going to keep my big mouth shut, he added. The X Factor returns tonight to FOX at 8 PM. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.

Suburgatory Boss on George and Dallas: Will They or Wont They?

Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines Tessa wasn't the only one none-too-pleased to discover George making out with some hot young thing in NY right before Thanksgiving. There was also Dallas. But will Dallas do anything about it? Will George? There's no denying something strange and lovely has been building between Tessa's goofy architect dad and Chatswin's hippest haute couture-wearing mom. And the sparks are really gonna fly over the holidays - where else? -- under the mistletoe, during Suburgatory's fall finale (Wednesday at 8:30/7:30c on ABC). Exclusive: Wilmer Valderrama to play sexy New Age guru on Suburgatory Series boss Emily Kapnek tells TVGuide.com that there are good reasons why these opposites attract. "You could say that George may have been drawn to more cynical NY girls in the past, but I think there's something very contagious about Dallas' spirit and how sunny and happy she is, as well as being very invested in her kid, which makes her appealing to a single dad like George in a way that he probably never would have anticipated," Kapnek says. In this week's episode, "The Nutcracker," Tessa (Jane Levy) overhears George (Jeremy Sisto) breaking up with his girlfriend, Zoe, blames herself, and decides to get them back together. Little does she know, he's decided he's had it with "crazy city women" and wants to look for love in the 'burbs. At the same time, there's a lot standing in the way of an Altman-Royce romance. George is initially distracted by both his ex and Tessa's adorable art teacher Aimee, and then there's the not-so-little matter of Dallas' husband Steven (Jay Mohr), who is a mostly absent but completely decent guy. Exclusive: Suburgatory casts Prom star as love interest for Tessa "Marrying a man who's very successful financially and can provide this lifestyle she wants probably at one point seemed like all Dallas wanted," Kapnek says. "But in watching George, who is such a great dad, and how hands-on he is with Tessa, I think she's starting to see there are different kinds of men out there, and the value of having a partner who's really a partner." It looks as though Dallas, riding high on the holiday spirit, is about to do something about it - whether George is ready or not. "George does pick up on her feelings," Kapnek reveals. "It's going to put a strain on their relationship and friendship at first, but I think it will be really satisfying to watch how it plays out. They both have conflicted feelings at different times, and watching them navigate this area is going to be really fun." Do you want Dallas and George to be together? Is it too soon? What about poor Steven? Tell us what you think in the comments below. (Note to Tessa and George 'shippers: Gross. Please have your heads examined.)

This year's crop of first-time writers in award contention aren't all industry newcomers. From famous performers to accomplished television scribes to produced playwrights, the group has one thing in common: 2011 brought the theatrical release of their screenwriting debuts.Glenn Close"Albert Nobbs""I didn't start from scratch," Glenn Close says about co-writing her debut screenplay "Albert Nobbs." The project, which she also stars in and co-produced has dominated Close's imagination for years. Thesp won an Obie in 1982 for playing the title role Off Broadway and has worked on reprising the role on screen for decades. She shares writing credit with Gabriella Prekop and John Banville, along with Istvan Szabo for story, in adapting the novella from George Moore."While we were filming, I'd email John and say, 'I need a good phrase for "My father was a drunk." And then 'A fierce whore for the drink' would come back 20 minutes later. It was fabulous!" * * * Sean Durkin"Martha Marcy May Marlene""Cult is a difficult word," "Martha" writer-director Sean Durkin says about the sensational subject of his first feature. "It's not a word we used while we were making the movie or when I was writing it."Durkin, one of the three principals that make up Borderline production outfit, also says that his first drafts were more "full.""When I write, I include more information throughout with the intention of always cutting it. On the page, I think it's better to be a little clearer because there are things that the camera picks up that words can't." * * * Nat Faxon & Jim Rash"The Descendants"The 2007 writers strike proved difficult for Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, and not just because they had to put down their pens."We finished the first draft of 'The Descendants' just before it started," Rash says. "Then we had to wait a hundred days to get notes from (pic's co-writer/helmer) Alexander Payne -- who we idolize."The two actors (2008 Writers to Watch alums), who began writing to generate parts from themselves, say adapting Kaui Hart Hemmings' novel over the course of three years involved a learning curve."Drawing that line of being faithful to the material you love, but also injecting your own voice into the movie that you think it should become, was really challenging," Faxon says. "And gratifying." * * * Steven Moffat"The Adventures of Tintin""It was an opportunity to work with the best of the best," says Scottish television writer and producer Steven Moffat on working with "Tintin" director-producer Steven Spielberg and producer, Peter Jackson. Moffat serves as the showrunner for popular British television series, "Doctor Who" and is the writer-creator of several other hit U.K. productions."I don't think writing for television versus writing for film is quite as different as people say it is," says Moffat, who co-wrote "Tintin" with Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish. "The biggest difference in this case was the budget and genre, but I don't see any real difference in concept of storytelling." * * * Annie Mumolo & Kristen Wiig"Bridesmaids"It took Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig just six days to write the first draft of "Bridesmaids.""We had a short window of time to get it done for (pic's producer) Judd Apatow and because of Kristen's SNL schedule," Mumolo says. "But we went through years of rewrites after that."Although the comedy marks duo's first script, they have been writing together ever since they met at the Groundlings 10 years ago."The end was the most challenging for us because you have to wrap up the movie somehow, but you don't want the audience to predict it or expect it," Wiig says. "We went through a lot of different versions."Initially we were both really adamant that we didn't want a wedding at the end." * * * Beau Willimon"The Ides of March""It's not so much the challenges as it is the advantages," Beau Willimon says of turning his play, "Farragut North" into "The Ides of March.""I got to expand on the (play)," says Willimon, who co-wrote script with pic's director-star George Clooney and producer Grant Heslov. "It also gave me the opportunity to add characters like Governor Morris (played by Clooney)."Although he never shared a writing room with Clooney or Heslov, Willimon says that the writing process was collaborative."They actually put more of the original text from the play back into the movie. I had cut down some of the speeches. I had thought they were too long for a movie. But George and Grant thought it would be better to keep some of those scenes longer, to let them breathe and not try to rush them." * * * J.C. Chandor"Margin Call""I wrote it to direct it," J.C. Chandor says of "Margin Call," his first writer-director effort. "I'm no spring chicken. I've been trying to do this since I graduated from NY University (for film production) and I was 36 years old when I finally got to shoot this film."Prior to and during the years he took to write the screenplay, Chandor says he worked with "many different levels of actors, sports stars and musicians" on commercials and docs including a six-part concert film series for AOL/Warner Bros. featuring Sting and Elton John. The non-narrative work prepared him for calling the shots on set with industry bigwigs including Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons and Demi Moore."I knew how to stand my ground."EYE ON THE OSCARS: THE WRITER Secrets exact grim toll | Writers' words craft indelible images | Vet spice freshman class | Waking nightmares Contact Addie Morfoot at news@variety.com
