Relativity Enters Distribution Partnership With Germany's Senator Entertainment
NY Times reporter Brian Stelter has something in common with Anthony Weiner. Like the disgraced congressman, Stelter unintentionally broadcast a private direct message -- or "DM" -- on Twitter to his entire Twitter feed. (In Stelter's case, that's 97,000 followers-and-counting).our editor recommendsAlec Baldwin's Twitter Account 'Deactivated' After 'Words With Friends' DebacleChristiane Amanpour to Leave ABC's 'This Week'; Launch CNN Show Demi Moore Explains Why She'll Stay 'Mrs. Kutcher' On TwitterKeith Olbermann Will No Longer Engage With His Twitter Followers Unlike Weiner, Stelter's DM was not salacious. On Tuesday, the journalist -- who covers media and television for the Times -- tried to confirm Christiane Amanpour's exit from ABC's This Week by sending a DM to a source on the social-networking site. Instead, he majorly messed up and made it public. The offending tweet: "I'm hearing that Amanpour is formally out of 'This Week' -- though only from a single source -- are you hearing the same?" In a further display of whoops, he even posted his work phone number. Realizing his mistake, Stelter immediately tweete a response to his flub: "Well, that was embarrassing. That was supposed to be a DM." His network largely supported him, with the Washington Post's Erik Wemple tweeting: "Just good reporting there. Nothing to be ashamed of." In the end, the snafu backfired in a good way: Stelter was able to find more sources through Twitter to match his Amanpour intel and publish an official story. "3 Reasons I didn't delete accidental tweet: people had already read it; some had retweeted it; it needed to be explained," Stelter said in a later post. As media reporter Michael Calderone notes at the Huffington Post, Stelter's mistweet indirectly spread word of Amanpour's exit, confirming months of rumors that she would be leaving the Sunday morning news program -- and prompting ABC to issue a statement from Amanpour hours later. Stelter, who's said he wished he could live in the Twitter feed, was apparently too busy reporting -- and tweeting about it -- to respond to requests for comment.

The Scene at THR's 2011 Women In Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast
This story appears in the Dec. 2011 special issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Putting together the ranked list of entertainment's most powerful women for this annual issue, The Hollywood Reporter's 20th, is nothing short of agonizing. For the top spots, the deliberations over who goes where became topics of vigorous debate in the hallways here at 5700 Wilshire. PHOTOS: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 In all the discussions, however, one undisputed trend emerged: TV, especially the world of cable, is ascendant, and women disproportionately are driving it. It's no coincidence that four of the top five women on this year's Power 100 list come from the medium (the extraordinary Amy Pascal alone represents film at No. 2). Just a few years ago, film dominated entertainment with the most prestige, the greatest revenue and the biggest impact on our national conversation. Not anymore. Programming such as The Daily Show, Mad Men and even Jersey Shore drives pop culture to a greater extent than any motion picture in recent years, extending its influence into the realms of fashion, politics, publishing and music. One major studio exec recently bemoaned to me that, outside of the Twilight franchise, film is lacking a major "event." "No one is talking about movies right now," said this exec. "It's all about cable." COMPLETE LIST: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100 At the same time, the earnings of some of the leading cable networks have dwarfed those of the major studios, and the valuation of Disney Media Networks -- the division overseen by the list's top-spot holder, Anne Sweeney -- is hugely more than that of its sister movie studio. Total revenue for the entire movie industry this year is estimated by PricewaterhouseCoopers at $36.8 billion; by contrast, television advertising in the U.S. brought in $71.1 billion, and you can double that number if you add subscription and license revenue. But economics aren't the only reason these women are at the top. It's also because television has provided opportunity that film simply hasn't. A newer industry, cable was welcoming to all when it was birthing multitudes of then-not-so-fashionable networks. The high-powered women at the top of TV largely got their breaks in the "Wild West" days of early cable -- as one executive describes them -- when television created openings that the established, more relationship-oriented movie world didn't. None of this is to take away from the incredible women in film and other mediums on our Power 100. The same exec who decried the lack of momentum in movies was quick to point out, "It's all cyclical." Indeed, every single person on the list reflects extraordinary drive, intelligence and ability to weather whatever is around the bend in the industry. I dare anyone to not be inspired by every person in this issue. Congratulations to all.

Kurt Sutter Hopes To Help Keep Sons Of Anarchy Going Not Less Than 7 Seasons
Kurt Sutter, the colorful and from time to time churlish creator from the Forex biker smash Sons of Anarchy that wrapped its 4th and many effective campaign last evening, isoptimistic that his show will discover a seventh season. Or even more. SOA already continues to be restored for any fifth season of 13 episodes. He stated throughout a business call with reporters today, “We’re wishing to have the ability to tell the storyline you want to tell inside a seven-season arc, to possess the amount of time to achieve that. A minimum of we’re available to exploring that.” But he added that his experience like a author-professional producer around the Shield informs him that “the over the line costs may become an excessive amount of” when attempting to visit beyond season seven. The main reason Sutter is even in a position to consider three seasons in to the future is SOA just loved its greatest-ranked season, standing because the No.2 scripted drama on fundamental cable (trailing only AMC’s The Walking Dead) and also the greatest-ranked series ever on Forex. He credits the show’s growing viewership simply to the availability over Netflix. “It assisted people really plug into and obtain in to the show the very first couple of seasons,” Sutter thinks. “It’s been vital to the rise.” Essential, Sutter thinks, continues to be his drama’s capability to skirt the difficult line between art and commerce. “I’m very conscious that I’m writing a show for television,” he stated, “so I actually do wish to write story lines which are wealthy and sophisticated and figures which are three-dimensional. We’re fortunate to possess stars who weekly give tremendous performances. But there’s also a component of the reveal that’s incredibly pulpy and entertaining, which’s as essential as the wealthy, deep character stuff. I've no need to operate a reveal that a couple of hundred people watch. Basically wanted that type of audience, I’d go do theater…I’m not writing the show inside a vacuum. And That I’m an egomaniac. I wish to be loved, honored, worshiped and admired by everybody. And So I desire a large audience. I really like the very fact we’re beating the (broadcast) systems in key demos.” Sutter credited the show’s healthy rankings to “the fact I surround myself with those who are a lot more gifted than I'm. And great stars.” Sutter accepted he’s thinking about changing the SOA pacefor season fiveso that there's possibly a little less tumult packed throughout each episode. “My sensefor next season is it is a reduced boil,” he stated. “This season, everybody was kind of breathless through the finish of each and every episode, and my sense is the fact that next season that won’t be.” He added thathe was available to ongoing to possess guest stars show up on SOA who also labored with him around the Shield but was reluctant to be extend to that particular show’s stars Michael Chiklis and Walton Goggins.”I think it might be impossible to allow them to be regarded as someone else nowadays. It might be too annoying to create them to the show, around I really like and adore them as stars the ones.” And that he hasn’t yet made the decision how Sons will wrap, observing today, “Whether they’ll all find yourself dead inside a large puddle of bloodstream in the finish has not yet been determined.”

Talkback: What Is the Greatest Penis Moment in Movie History?
Since our friends at Next Movie totally went there, why not bat this one around Movieline HQ? It’s Friday! Live a little. In honor of Michael Fassbender’s infamous display of total nakedness in this week’s Shame — emotional and physical, to be fair — Next Movie ran down the nine greatest “penis moments” in the movies. Yes, Ewan McGregor. You made the list. Also receiving honors were The Crying Game (of course) and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, although I’d argue Dirk Diggler’s Dirk Diggler deserves higher placement in the rankings. And though this is quite thorough work, I have just one word: Antichrist. (That said, the “greatness” of its penis moments is debatable. Awesome high five sexytime great? Not so much.) But again, it’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on some cinematic schlong talk. I open the flood gates to you, Movieliners! Discuss: Are there any glaring omissions to the list? What’s with Ewan McGregor’s exhibitionist streak? If you were on the fence before despite the glowing reviews and critical acclaim for Fassbender’s performance, is all this talk of a Fassboner enough to get you to see Shame this weekend? [Next Movie]
