Bonnie Bedelia has a message for those Die Hard producers: Dudes, youz ageist!
On tonight’s edition of Inside TV on EW Radio, the Parenthood star who plays matriarch Camille Braverman talks about why we’ll probably never see her reprise her iconic role as Holly McClane in the Die Hard series. She also talks about Camille’s meaty story arc this season — her best one yet.
Also on tonight’s show: Mark Green promotes his latest talk show that airs on Mark Cuban’s Axs TV, and Jeff “Doc” Jensen shares his feelings about NBC’s decision to bring back Heroes.

It’s an ancient debate that refuses to go away: Melbourne versus Sydney. Is the power in media and advertising drifting up north, asks Robin Hicks
The first story I wrote since moving from Sydney to Melbourne six months ago was on the closure of DraftFCB Melbourne, a decent but painfully shy ad agency with a 50-year history that, as it turned out, was too reliant on one major client.
A fortnight later, I covered Publicis Mojo’s Melbourne office making a bunch of redundancies. Some jobs were relocated to Sydney, leaving the once-great office on Southbank with eight staff, down from more than 100 just three years ago.
This news came just three months after the collapse of another ‘once-great’ agency brand The Campaign Palace, which started life on Melbourne’s Cecil Street more than four decades ago.

Ad agency The Monkeys has created its first work for Network Ten with an outdoor campaign to promote MasterChef: The Professionals.
At this stage, the work was a one-off, with most of Ten’s promotional work being done by its own creative team.
Mark Green, CEO of The Monkeys, told Mumbrella: “Ten typically do most work in house but for this project they sought help, and they came to us. Obviously we’ll keep in touch.”
The outdoor poster campaign by photographer Toby Dixon aimed to build on the credentials an reputations of its hosts Matt Preston and chef Marco Pierre White.

Former Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Mark Green appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball on Thursday where he advocated for the strictest of gun ownership laws. He said that there should be a registry where people can go to see if their neighbor is a gun owner, just as “Megan’s Law” allows for individuals to see if there is a convicted sex offender living in their neighborhood.

In this roundJohn Mescall
In this round up from the Encore and Mumbrella annual, we celebrate the nicest people working in the industry.
1. John Mescall, Ecd, McCann Australia
When was the last time you cried watching an ad? Mescall was behind The Impossible Orchestra – a 24-hour musical tribute to the 2.6m Australians who take care of sick or disabled loved ones – which got the audience blubbing. It was a campaign with heart, and that’s what Mescall (who devotes lots of his time working with charities) is all about. A genuine, bullshit-free bloke with bags of talent.
2. Mark Coad, CEO, PHd Australia
Unassuming and mild-mannered, Coad is not your typical big-talking CEO. And yet he could not have turned around former agency Omd without making some tough decisions. One of the most accomplished media operators in Australia, the Melburnian leads with an assured lack of fuss.

The awards were the culmination of the Festival of Branded Entertainment which was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and attended by more than 200 people across the day.

A group of creatives including The Monkeys creative partner Micah Walker and former Mojo colleagues Pim Van Nunen and Justine Armour has launched a new line in sex toys aimed at ‘vibrator virgins’.
The Smile Makers vibrators, which come in the shape of a fireman, tennis coach, a millionaire and a Frenchman, were made as a result of an idea produced by creatives in different agencies in three different countries via email, Walker explained.
The idea – to make vibrators less embarrassing to buy, using cartoonized characters from sexual fantasies and non-sexual language (the Smile Maker is called a ‘happiness gadget’ in the media kit) – prompted Swedish entrepreneurs Peder Wikstrom and Mattias Hulting of Ramblin’ Brands to put the range into production.
Walker says a deal is in the pipeline to stock Smile Makers in health and beauty departments of chemists and department stores in Europe, Asia and the Us.

The novelist picks through the mountain of books about the tragic star to find the ones where she emerges as a person, not 'a sex idol'
Michel Schneider is the author of three novels, including Marilyn's Last Sessions, which was the winner of the Prix Interallié (2006) and has now been translated into English by Will Hobson, published this month by Canongate. He has also written many essays on psychoanalysis, music, literature and the psychopathology of politics.

"Hundreds of books have been written about Marilyn. My personal reasons for writing a novel about her were probably quite different from those which had previously inspired so many biographers and authors. My interest was: why was she so intensely caught between public and private, words and images, trying to escape from the icon she became and cure herself with her own words?...

The president's extraordinary embrace of Al Sharpton last week has as much to do with his rejection of Jesse Jackson, Cornel West and Tavis Smiley as it does with the once-embattled reverend.
President Obama's extraordinary embrace of Reverend Al Sharpton last week has as much to do with the president's antipathy for three other black leaders-Jesse Jackson, Dr. Cornel West and Tavis Smiley-as it does with any genuine White House enthusiasm for the controversial New York preacher. Unlike Sharpton, who actually sat in the front row at Obama's December announcement of the deal to extend the Bush tax cuts, Jackson, West and Smiley have criticized the president's centrist tilt, alienating themselves from the administration.
Obama stayed so far away from Sharpton during the 2008 campaign that Sharpton, with Obama's blessing, never even endorsed him. Yet not only did Obama just become the first president ever to appear at...

Her rocky relationship with the press was infamous. But Mark Katz remembers a night with reporters when Geraldine Ferraro was undeniably winning-even while losing.
In the spring of 1998, when a young intern named Lewinsky was making headlines for her role in the White House, I received a call regarding another woman who had made history 14 years earlier in her bid to serve in the executive branch. Was I available to help Geraldine Ferraro prepare for a humor speech she was scheduled to deliver at Albany's answer to Washington's Gridiron Club? Having gotten my start writing humorous speeches on the 1988 presidential campaign of Mike Dukakis, I answered that I had never written for any national candidate who had received less than 111 Electoral votes but was willing to give it a try.

Ron Reagan is the son of a president and, weekdays on Air America, he's a voice of reason for many listeners who are trying to navigate the complexities of national and global concerns. Known for his progressive views and politics, Ron took a few moments to discuss some of the more pressing issues of our time and gave a shoutout to Elvis Perkins. Mike Ragogna: When did The Ron Reagan Show begin broadcasting on Air America? Ron Reagan: It would have been a year ago September, we started with an hour show. Mr: How did that come about?

Mark Green claims to be a real homeboy - but where his first home was depends on which campaign he's running. In a new video, Green appears on a Bensonhurst street unveiling his latest run for public advocate, saying the Brooklyn neighborhood is the place where he spent "my early" childhood. But in 2006, in a primary against current state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, Green declared his candidacy in Great Neck, which he described as the place where he grew up. In fact, Green was born in Brooklyn and lived there until his family moved to...

Word on the street is George Clooney will take a break from being a mega movie star and return to the small screen. Radar Online is reporting that the actor will appear in an upcoming episode of ER, the hospital drama that made him a household name, reprising his role of Dr. Doug Ross. According to Radar, the shoot is so secret that only a few cast and crew members will be allowed on set and cell phones will be banned while director John Wells films the hush-hush Clooney scenes. In one scene, Dr. Ross will be shown practicing at his new hospital in Seattle, while another scene reportedly has him reuniting with the staff at County General in Chicago. Clooney left the cast of ER in 1999 to pursue his film career full-time, we all know how that worked out. It's already been confirmed that Noah Wyle will return for four episodes as Dr.
