Brian Scott Lipton the editor-in-chief of TheaterMania.com (http://www.theatermania.com) was there and he stops by to fill us in on all the big winners, memorable moments and why so many movie stars are currently working in theater. The 11th Annual Golden Trailer Awards also took place this past week and Stephen Garrett of Kinetic Trailers (http://www.kinetictrailers.com/) won two big prizes. He joins us to discuss the current state of movie promos and what its like to win the award for Trashiest Trailer. At the box office "The Karate Kid" knocked "Shrek Forever After" out of first place after three weeks and provided a little hope for this summer's poor ticket sales. "The A Team" on the other hand opened to poor reviews and even worse box office receipts. In television news, the final ratings for this past season's television shows have been released. We'll fill you in on which shows finished on top as well as the ones nobody cared to watch. You'll never guess where "The Jay Leno Show" came in (hint: it's not in the top 100). All of the week's major entertainment news is covered during Big Deal or Big Whoop including Kevin Costner's plan for the Gulf oil spill, why Donald Trump is wooing Lindsay Lohan for "The Apprentice and whether "Don Quixote" would make a good action film. Television's ethnic and racial diversity, or the lack of it, is the topic this week's Inside Baseball segment.

(http://www.showbizsandbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/star-trek-cropped.jpg) "Star Trek" cleans up at the box office earning $76 million in North America over the weekend while "Wolverine" pulled in another $27 million. Fox sets release dates for its blockbusters in Mexico, though actors may not start kissing on telenovelas for a while. "Billy Elliot" heads up the Tony Award nominations. Bono and the Edge are headed to Broadway with a Spider-Man musical, but Andrew Lloyd Weber is falling behind on his sequel to "Phantom of the Opera". "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Twilight" lead the MTV Movie Award nominations, but does anyone care. Big media and celebrities top the Webby awards. NBC announces its primetime schedule and there are rumors about a few CW shows. Looks like the "Gossip Girl" spinoff is a no-go. As scripted television looks to shrink their writing staffs, CBS debates whether they should bring back such game shows as "The Dating Game" and "Let's Make A Deal". A computer bug delayed nearly three days of Nielsen television ratings, however advertisers may want to start using more effective "engagement" ratings anyway. Disney CEO Bob Iger discusses Hulu and informs everyone that new media is here to stay. The MPAA teaches everyone how to pirate DVD's using a camcorder, in fact they prefer the method over the ripping of content off DVD's. Revenue at Warner Music plumets as do satellite radio subscribers at Sirius XM. Looks like Roman Polanski isn't going to return to see if a court will drop his 30-year-old rape charges. Finally, now that the William Morris/Endeavor merger has been announced, clients have started jumping ship in all directions.
