Las Vegas, Nevada (September 1, 2010)–First came the announcement that 2010 Hall-of-Fame Inductee Emmitt Smith will play in the Championship Pro-Am of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Now tournament management for Las Vegas’ PGA Tour event has announced Jerry Rice is scheduled to play on Wednesday October 20, at Las Vegas golf course TPC Summerlin, in the same group as Smith. Rice is generally regarded as the best receiver in the history of the NFL, and looks forward to his day in Las Vegas. “I’m thrilled to be a part of the Pro-Am to support such an amazing organization,” said Rice in a statement. “The Shriners Hospitals for Children provide outstanding care for children every day and this event is a great way to show support while playing a sport I enjoy.”–By Brian Hurlburt.

The Las Vegas Golf Region is the home to more than 50 Las Vegas golf courses, and several have played host to PGA Tour events over the years. The host course for the Timberlake event is the private TPC Summerlin, but certain events surrounding the PGA Tour event also take place at TPC Las Vegas, a resort Las Vegas golf course. Other Las Vegas golf courses that have played host to the PGA Tour over the years include Bear’s Best Las Vegas, Las Vegas National Golf Club, Southern Highlands Golf Club, and Las Vegas Country Club, among others. Click now for more information on Las Vegas golf courses from this website, and/or to schedule your Las Vegas golf tee times.

During his 15-year career with the San Francisco 49ers, Rice won three Super Bowls (Super Bowl XXIII (‘88), Super Bowl XXIV (‘89), Super Bowl XXIX (‘94)) and one Super Bowl MVP. He enjoyed three seasons with the Oakland Raiders, including a Super Bowl appearance and one season with the Seattle Seahawks before retiring in 2005. Rice was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, his first year of eligibility. Rice has played in several PGA Tour pro-am events, but earlier this year took his involvement with the PGA Tour to another level when he served as a host for the Nationwide Tour’s Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonbrae, which is played near San Francisco. Part of his hosting duties included playing as a competitor in the event. He fired rounds of 83-76 and missed the cut in his Nationwide Tour debut. Rice is said to be a scratch player with some recent reports indicating that he is a plus handicapper. Click now for more Las Vegas PGA Tour event information from this website. Or click now to reserve your special spot in this Championship Pro-Am. As with Smith, the golf pros at TPC Summerline helped persuade Rice to put the Las Vegas tournament on his schedule.

“The addition of Jerry to the MGM Resorts International Championship Pro Am goes a long way towards strengthening our efforts to create a world class event here in Las Vegas,” says Tournament Director Adam Sperling. ”We have a wonderful venue at TPC Summerlin, some of the greatest golfers in the world courtesy of the PGA TOUR, another Hall of Fame celebrity to participate in the Pro Am (Emmitt Smith having already committed), and in my opinion, the most worthy charity there is, the Shriners Hospitals for Children.  The ability to combine all of those elements should continue to put us in a strong position to grow our event and increase the local impact that this event has on our community. The fact that Jerry is as good of a golfer as he is tells the public that while we’re trying to create new ways to enjoy the game as a spectator, we’re not getting away from what our core product is – championship caliber golf.”

The 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open is the ongoing commitment between Timberlake and Shriners Hospitals for Children® to continue the tradition of a PGA TOUR event in Las Vegas.  The collaboration between Shriners Hospitals for Children® as Title Sponsor and Host, along with Celebrity Host Justin Timberlake, creates a truly unique and world-class event for players and fans alike.  A variety of well-known golfers will participate in the competition and help support the mission of Shriners Hospitals for Children®, while enjoying the signature flair that Las Vegas has to offer.  The 2010 tournament is October 17-24 at the TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas. As part of a three-year agreement, MGM Resorts International will have a heightened presence at the Pro-Am as well as have the opportunity annually to utilize a different property as the host venue of the pairings party. This year’s host for the Tuesday evening pairings party will be ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter, which also will serve as the host hotel for those amateurs participating in the Championship Pro-Am.

Facebook Won’t Run Ads for “The Social Network,” but Facebook Users Like It Anyway!

Written by Peter Kafka

Facebook loves Hollywood ad dollars, except in the case of one particular film. That would be “The Social Network,” the upcoming film best known as “The Facebook Movie.”

As Kara Swisher pointed out in July, Facebook isn’t accepting ads from Sony (SNE), the movie’s distributor. The reasoning, in so many words: Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg don’t like the movie.

Fair enough: Sony has figured out plenty of ways to get buzz for the movie online, via both paid routes (“Promoted Twitter” ads) and unpaid gambits (viral videos, of course).

And now, in lovely bit of irony, the “The Social Network” is being advertised on Facebook after all. For free. By Facebook’s users.

As Forbes’ Dorothy Pomerantz explains, Sony is asking Facebook users to “like” the movie, and they’re complying: So far some 29,000 Facebookers have endorsed the movie via a button click, which translates into some 29,000 individual “thumbs up” ads appearing in Facebook users’ streams.

Pretty clever, no?

I’m giving the movie a pre-viewing thumbs up, too, for what it’s worth–I’m really excited to see it. And not because I think it’s going define Generation Y or anything like that (beware of explicitly “generation-defining” movies, by the way–you’ll end up with “Reality Bites”). It’s because I think it’s going to be awesome: Aaron Sorkin is great with the words, and David Fincher makes great images.

And if that doesn’t sell you, maybe another view of the trailer, scored by a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep,” will help.

It’s a sweeping romantic moment set against the grandeur of New York’s Grand Central Terminal, venue to countless poignant moments of tearful farewells.

A forlorn young woman, suitcase in hand, buys her train ticket from the kiosk when her lover appears from out of the shadows to present her with a bouquet of flowers. The couple embrace and leave together on a horse and buggy waiting outside the station. Cut.

The scene, from the Justin Timberlake romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits,” is supposed to unfold in New York’s renowned example of Beaux-Arts architecture. But the scene will in fact be filmed this week in downtown Los Angeles at Union Station, just the latest in a long line of movies, TV shows and commercials that have showcased the Mission-and-Modern-style station.

“It’s an homage to all the great films that have shot at Union Station,’’ said Glenn Gainor, head of physical production at Sony Pictures Entertainment film unit Screen Gems, which is producing the movie, a bicoastal production shot in both New York and L.A.

The movie started filming in L.A. earlier this month and highlights many of the City of Angels’ landmarks, including the Hollywood sign, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – and Union Station.

“Union Station is one of the more beautiful locations in L.A, from its Art Deco 1930s tiles to its vacant ticket station, “ Gainor said. “It has superior architecture and was built at a time [1939] when people really sweated the details. It’s always on my radar.”

And apparently on that of many others. The station has become a bustling film destination thanks to its distinctive architecture,  wide open spaces – including a  vacant 12,000-square-foot former ticketing concourse and 65-foot-high ceilings – and a reputation for being “film friendly.”

In recent years, the station has been the site for dozens of car commercials, feature films including “Drag Me to Hell,” “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”  and the upcoming adaptation of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” as well as such TV shows as “CSI: New York,” “Cold Case” and the reality program “Top Chef.”

Owned by Denver, Colorado-based commercial real estate company ProLogis, the station has filming activities on about 100 days of the year, said Jeff Cooper, a portfolio manager for Hollywood Locations, whose principals co-own and manage Los Angeles Center Studios and represent for filming various properties around L.A., including Union Station.

“We make it easy for movie companies to come in here,’’ said Cooper, who charges up to $10,000 a day or between $1,500 and $2,000 an hour for filming at the station.

Hollywood has longstanding ties to 71-year-old Union Station, which has been featured in such classic movies as “Blade Runner,” and even had a film named after it: the 1950 film noir “Union Station,” starring William Holden. It often appears in period movies like “Pearl Harbor.”

“People love the way it looks,’’ Cooper said. “You couldn’t build a soundstage like this.”

Large, available space is another draw, he said, recalling how the producers of “Charlie’s Angels” converted a vacant concourse into a bedroom set in a European castle.

In “Friends With Benefits,” the Union Station scene unfolds as a movie within a movie. Justin Timberlake’s character is watching a romantic comedy on TV with his girlfriend, played by Mila Kunis. Timberlake’s character notices palm trees in the background, and remarks that the station is in fact in L.A., not New York.

The line is partly an inside joke about how Hollywood often disguises L.A. for other locations, and partly a tribute to one of L.A.’s signature locations, said Doug Dresser, the film’s location manager.

 “It’s one of the timeless treasures of L.A.,” he said.

Back in July, it was announced that Trent Reznor of the rockband Nine Inch Nails would be doing the score for David Fincher’s upcoming film, The Social Network. It sounds like a weird combination but Reznor revealed on his website that Fincher approached him about the job, not the other way around. One of the tracks from the score has appeared online and you can hear for yourself if its a match made in movie heaven…

Here’s the song:
Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross – “Hand Covers Bruise” (No Piano) by Some Kind of Awesome

After listening to this a couple of times, it will give you chills. It’s not as creepy or daunting as the Inception theme, but it evokes a similar reaction. Who knew that the story of Facebook could be backed by such haunting music?

The Social Network is based on the book, The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal, which tells the story behind the controversial birth of the website. It stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Joe Mazzello, and Rashida Jones.The film’s screenplay was written by award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin.

What do you think of Reznor’s song for The Social Network? Do you think it’s a good fit?

With help from Justin Timberlake and his friends, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) recently completed a major overhaul of the Angono Regional Pilot School for the Arts (ARPSA) music room in Angono, Rizal.

The P1-million project was made possible by the recent “Changing Lives” benefit concert organized by concert producer Francis Lumen, Smart Infinity and PSF featuring international artists Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Jojo.

The newly-renovated and refurbished music room was repainted, rebuilt with a stage for performances, and given new recording equipment and an air-conditioning system with the help of the Philippine Constructors Association and Architect Carla Suiza.

The PSF also donated instruments including violins, a cello, a double bass, an electronic piano, and a complete sound system.

“The music room fulfilled our promise to Justin Timberlake that we help budding musicians and artists affected by Ondoy and Pepeng. We want ARPSA to be a center for the arts,” said PSF president Butch Meily.

“Timberlake wanted to help kids with their music programs and musical instruments since music is close to his heart. Smart Customer Care identified the beneficiary,” added Meily.

A pioneering arts school, ARPSA is government-run high school dedicated to developing students through a curriculum that emphasizes performing, musical and visual arts.

Last year, the school was devastated by super typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, which damaged parts of buildings, destroyed books and instruments, and even caused the death of one student in a landslide.

The music room’s unveiling, hosted by ARPSA principal Amihan Reynes-Fenis, featured performances by ARPSA’s dance troupe, chorale, and orchestra.

DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino wants Justin Timberlake to star in one of his movies!

Insiders say the Pulp Fiction filmmaker is considering the SexyBack hitmaker for a new violent epic based around a trainee hitman.

“It’s a kind of dark comedy, very much in the Tarrantino style,” reports a Hollywood mole.

“Justin is a new raw talent when it comes to acting but Quentin feels he could be ideal for the lead role. He’s excited about taking a teen heartthrob and turning him into a cold-blooded killer.”

Timberlake recently admitted he’s “insecure” about his talent.

“I think I’m equally insecure about both of them,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for two thirds of my life and I still consider myself pretty young but I think that’s the part you battle with all the time.

“When you’re creating your art, that’s the best part. Your senses are on a creative high and then the part where everyone gets to see it and comment on it, that’s the part I think you battle with until you die.

“It’s absolutely terrifying.”

Columbia Pictures has just launched the official website for The Social Network, 500MillionFriends.com. David Fincher’s take on the Facebook story is highly anticipated by film fans and social media addicts alike.

The site opens into a large-form portal with photos, videos and cast information, all arranged in a very Facebook-like collage.

Words such as “Punk,” “Traitor” and “Genius” are displayed either as their own or overlayed over other photographs. The site also contains access to cast information, the official synopsis and cast publicity stills.

The Social Network will be in theaters October 1, 2010 and is already garnering rave reviews from Rolling Stone and Film Comment.
