THIS WEEK IN THE SORKINVERSE: First trailer for the Aaron Sorkin-penned, David Fincher-directed, Eisenberg-and-Timberlake-starring Facebook movie The Social Network is now online. And he's now optioned the rights to Andrew Young's The Politician, a recent memoir by a staffer to a southern former Senator who ran for President again in 2007-08, only to ... yeah, that guy. Sorkin plans to both write and direct this one, and while many see Dennis Quaid as a natural to play the lead, I think it's a part Greg Kinnear was born to play.
I'M STILL BIG RED: You wouldn't expect geek news repository Ain't It Cool News to give loving coverage to the tenth anniversary of Bring It On, but they've had fascinating interviews with both writer Jessica Bendinger and director Peyton Reed this week, including how the Sparky scene came into being, who was hung over during the bikini car wash scene, which now-hot director worked as a choreographer for the film, and the two actresses who nearly played Torrance Shipman.

YOUTUBE'D: Even on top of the Old Spice Man, it's a big week for web streaming video. Not only do we have the debut of Season 4 of The Guild, with Codex facing new problems, but also the debut of Red Band Trailer, featuring a very pregnant Diablo Cody interviewing celebrities both in her Airstream trailer and then at her backyard tiki bar--guests on Red Band thus far have been Adam Brody and Chelsea Handler, with a Jason Bateman episode promised next week.
SEVEN MONKEYS, JUMPING ON THE BED: Does SYTYCD need a new doctor? Losing Alex was a big blow for the show. Now it's Ashley's turn. Apparently she got hit by a scale that fell down as a result of the concussion from some dynamite that fell out of the pocket of a commuting anarchist rushing for the train. Or something. But Allison's okay, and previous-season injured person Jessica seems confusedly happy in the audience, so apparently the SYTYCD curse isn't fatal. Dancing after the break:
