Kendall Jenner Has Moms Seal Of Approval To Date

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Good news for Justin Biebers teenage music producer pal Kris Jenner is OK with daughter Kendall Jenner dating at least according to 15-year-old Kendall. I guess shes fine with it. Its not that big of deal to her, like if I go on a date or anything, Kendall, a paid spokesperson for Varsity Spirit Corporation, told Kit Hoover and guest co-host Arsenio Hall on Thursdays Access Hollywood Live as she promoted National School Spirit Day (September 9). Earlier this month, the Biebs attempted to help a friend Julian Swirsky get a date with Kendall, via Twitter. Kendall agreed if Justin promised to make it a double date, with the Canadian singing sensation bringing his lady, Selena Gomez. But, while Kris is OK with her daughter dating, dad Bruce Jenner, is a little tougher. My dads a little more strict on it, she said. Kendall told Arsenio and Kit that plans for the date still havent come to fruition, and she doesnt know much about her prospective suitor. I guess hes like a music producer, she said. We havent talked about it yet, she added, of the details of the date with the 16-year-old. Kendall recently had a big date of another kind over the weekend, when sister Kim Kardashian married New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries, and she loved donning Vera Wang and attending the big bash. I had a great time, like an amazing time, she said. With Kim married to Kris, and off to do another season of Kim & Kourtney Take New York, Khloe Kardashian with her own reality show with husband Lamar Odom, Kendall and Kylie Jenner are becoming more of a focus on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and the teen said shes finally ready to step in the spotlight. Were having so much fun, Kendall said. Kylie and I are really happy We werent really a big deal in the show a while ago We didnt even really wanna be in it, in the show too much, we were just not into it, we were in school, we wanted to be with our friends, have fun, play dates, whatever.

He's honestly never looked sexier.It's almost criminal Matthew Vaughn decided to take this moment of genius out of the final cut. But perhaps the idea that Professor X openly thought of Magneto in women's clothing was a bit much.You can see the clip for yourself by clicking the image below:The X-Men: First Class DVD and Blu-Ray will be available in the UK on 31 October 2011.

Mangrove

A Les Films du Tigre, Red Star Cinema, Radio Television Suisse production. (International sales: Les Films Tigre, Geneva.) Produced by Frederic Choffat, Julie Gilbert, Cedric Walter, Francoise Mayor. Directed by Frederic Choffat, Julie Gilbert. Screenplay, Gilbert.With: Vimala Pons, Solal, Efren Mendez Avalos, Fabian Tellez-Cau, Amalia Canseco Hernandez, Jean-Christophe Hereil, Patrick Pasquier. (Spanish, French dialogue)A French femme travels back to the coastal Mexican village where she used to live in order to make peace with the past in the humidly atmospheric but underwhelming Franco-Swiss co-production "Mangrove." Stingy with dialogue but generous with shots of people looking thoughtful while canoeing through swamps, pic by Swiss co-helmers Frederic Choffat and Julie Gilbert plays like a padded-out short wrapped around an essentially melodramatic conceit. At least it's blessedly brief and features pretty scenery, which ought to help "Mangrove" to wash up on a few further fest shores. With her young son (Solal) in tow, an unnamed woman (French thesp Vimala Pons) arrives in the small Mexican village on the Pacific coast where, per flashbacks, she used to live and fell in love with a local man (Efren Mendez Avalos), who's tellingly not around in pic's present tense. She paddles a canoe with her kid deep into the mangrove swamp to dig up a mysterious knife, and meets another Gallic expat (Fabian Tellez-Cau) who gets her thinking about the past. The big reveal reps a shrug-inducing so-what; cast looks enervated throughout from the location's heat.Camera (color, HD-to-35mm), Patrick Tresch; editor, Cecile Dubois; music, Pierre Audetat; production designer, Alex Jomaron.

Testosterone TV: What Shows Are Most Watched By Men?

The television landscape has splintered, with niche networks now catering to every conceivable demographic and interest. But amid the clutter, there is one large yet elusive constituency that advertisers still pay a premium to reach: men, especially young men. That's because males still watch less television than females, making them more difficult for advertisers to locate.our editor recommends10 Broadcast and Cable TV Show Most Watched By MenTim Goodman's What Men Should Be Watching on TV List In fact, most estimates put the TV-watching audience at about 60 percent women, and despite a seismic shift in gender roles, women are still at home -- and in front of the television -- much more often than men. PHOTOS: 10 Broadcast and Cable TV Shows Most Watched By Men "Most of TV skews somewhat female and skews old," says Todd Gordon, senior vp and managing director at media agency Initiative. "So older demos and female demos tend to be a little bit easier to find and a little bit less expensive to reach than younger demos or men." Shows such as Fox's animated comedies The Simpsons and Family Guy -- which averaged a middling 7.3 million and 7.8 million total viewers last season, respectively -- can charge more than $250,000 for a 30-second spot. That's 14 percent more than the female-skewing ABC drama Grey's Anatomy, which averaged nearly 12 million viewers and charged about $220,000 for a 30-second commercial last season. "If you're designing a show and you want to make a lot of money, you want to bring in young men," says Gordon. Of course, live sports programming is where buyers go to reach the most overall viewers and the most men. And top-rated shows like Fox's American Idol still reach the big, broad audiences advertisers crave most. But smaller-scale hits like FX pair Justified and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as Comedy Central's guy-humor lineup including current "It" boy Daniel Tosh's Tosh.0, can deliver big profits without huge ratings -- if men tune in regularly. In addition to being priced differently, men and women exhibit distinct emotional motivations behind their media consumption, according to psychology experts. Women tend to look for empowerment, which is why Oprah Winfrey is such a potent brand. Underscoring traditional Venus and Mars stereotypes, many male motivations don't stray far from the prehistoric cave. According to ad-buying firm Starcom, men consume media for four reasons: to prepare themselves for battle; to feel rebellious; to connect to a passion (mostly sports, music or cars); and to be mentally challenged. Starcom measured 600 media outlets, including TV, digital and print properties, and polled 20,000 people to arrive at a proprietary "emotional index" for planning and buying purposes. "It's kind of funny and a little bit cliché," says Kathy Kline, Starcom senior vp and human experience director. "But there's a whole emotional territory of media that men engage in to gain a competitive edge." Thus, they "arm themselves for battle" with the Weather Channel or CNBC's Mad Money, says Kline. They use MTV (Jersey Shore) and VH1 (Basketball Wives) to feel rebellious and "a little bit like an outlaw." ESPN and NASCAR programming hit passion levers and reinforce male aspirations to be athletic and powerful. And programs like Comedy Central's The Colbert Report and History's Pawn Stars provide a mental challenge. Men also love subversive humor, which explains the popularity of Comedy Central and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. Says Kline of the sweet spot for men, "It's entertaining stuff that has an edge, a little bit dark and very witty."
