Diablo Cody Diablo Cody: The Juno screenwriter, seen here at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, is only one of the women who make up the -- gulp -- "Fempire." Michael Buckner/Getty Images Entertainment
 

Read:

• The Cinematical discussion of this New York Times piece about female screenwriters is much more interesting than the piece itself. Two points: (1) The word "Fempire" is nauseating; and (2) Cinematical's best point is its simplest: why, again, is this in Fashion & Style?

• The future of celebrity gossip magazines is looking bleak. Public fatigue? Too many cheap alternatives? Or is there just nothing more to say once we've all seen saturation coverage of Britney Spears shaving her head and bashing an SUV with an umbrella?

After the jump: Spike Jonze, Kenny Rogers, and woop-woop-woop...

Note:

• The new trailer for Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are looks...kind of great, actually, even though there's a little bit of Juno influence to the construction of the trailer that probably doesn't translate to the actual movie. (Looks even better in HD, if your connection is up to it.)

• ABC tried using stories submitted by real parents for its show In The Motherhood, which premieres tonight, but they won't be doing that anymore.

• Never underestimate Kenny Rogers, one of the artists whose music has been found to help stroke patients. "The Gambler," redeemed!

• MGM is finalizing plans for its Three Stooges movie, which will be directed by the Farrelly brothers (There's Something About Mary, Dumb And Dumber). And who's going to be in it? Jim Carrey, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro. My guess is that you are now thinking either, "I will be the first person in line," or "I would not see that movie if the theater showing it were the last available refuge from rampaging Visigoths."

Ignore:

• Valerie Bertinelli has posed in a bikini! Tonight, we're going to party like it's 1981.
