Jason Ritter has been named as the recipient of the 2012 Indie Voice Award at the Starz Denver Film Festival (SDFF). The Reel Social Club (RSC) made the announcement in advance of the film festival’s November 1 through 11th run in Denver.

The Indie Voice Award “celebrates prominent individuals who help foster an appreciation of film culture within the independent film industry.”

“Since the 2008 Sundance break-out hit Good Dick, Jason Ritter has returned to the independent film scene year after year with Peter and Vandy, The Dry Land, The Perfect Family, and most recently, Free Samples,” stated Reel Social Club Co-Founder, Jenny Bloom. “We are truly honored to welcome him to this festival and present him with the first ever Indie Voice Award, setting the precedent of talented actors our generation admires for years to come.”

Ritter will receive the award during a ceremony set for Thursday, November 8 at the Free Samples screening at L2 Arts & Culture Center. According to the festival, audiences will have the opportunity to ask Jason Ritter, Tippi Hedren, Jay Gammill, and Joseph McKelheer questions after the screening.

Details on Free Samples: Free Samples tells the story of disaffected Jillian, a twentysomething law school dropout facing a quarter-life crisis. Adrift in Los Angeles, Jillian discovers that her lack of talent makes her dream of pursuing the arts pointless. She surrounds herself with an oddball group of friends who reinforce her feeling that life isn’t going as planned. The disgruntled heroine vacillates between cold and believably heartrending as she struggles to find her place in the world.

That The Office spinoff featuring Rainn Wilson as Dwight Shrute won’t be moving forward after all. NBC had planned for Wilson’s character to lead a spinoff of the successful comedy series, which is finishing up its run at the end of this ninth season. However, Wilson says it’s a no-go right now.

Wilson, who’s one of the better celebs at keeping his fans in the loop via Twitter, posted a tweet confirming the news: “Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot – onwards & upwards!”

The Farm would have centered around the Schrute farm and was expected to star Majandra Delfino, Matt Jones, and Thomas Middleditch.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon went out as planned on October 29, 2012, despite Hurricane Sandy and without a live studio audience. Fallon sent the audience home because of the devastating storm (nicknamed ‘Frankenstorm’), taped an intro on the streets of New York, and then stepped inside the studio to deliver his monologue to empty seats. Only the crew was there to laugh and applaud as Fallon talked about the slow weekend at the movies, New York theatres being closed for the storm, and how it’s tough to take a storm named Sandy seriously.

If you’re taping The X Factor, be sure to set your DVR to record two hours and seven minutes on October 31, 2012. That’s when the top 16 acts will be performing live for the first time, according to Fox. It’ll also mark the debut of co-hosts Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom.
 
The next night, the judges – Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears and L.A. Reid – will reveal their choices for the Top Finalists.
 
The Details:
 
In a departure from other singing competition series, contestants not only audition in front of The X Factor judges. Perhaps more importantly, they sing for an audience of thousands, which is often referred to as the “fifth” judge, because their enthusiasm – or lack thereof – can help determine the fate of these hopefuls. This initial audition is the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence it takes to become a global superstar or breakout music act and win a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music.
 
Those contestants who survive the first auditions graduate to “boot camp” and will be divided into four categories. Not only is it a competition between the hopefuls to stake their claim for the coveted win, but it’s also a showdown among the judges as to whose acts will dominate the competition and make it to the finals. The judges may have their say in how the competition progresses, but it will be up to America to decide who ultimately has The X Factor.

We were addicted to Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” and we loved her duo with Owl City on the catchy summer anthem “Good Time.” Now she’s just released the video for her latest single, “This Kiss,” which hasn’t quite had the impact on the Billboard charts as her two previous singles.
