Aug 31, 2010 from Variety:
The Gershwin songbook musical "Nice Work If You Can Get It" is still in the mix for a potential Broadway production, with an October reading of the tuner set to star Matthew Broderick and Sutton Foster.

"Nice Work" had been slated for a Rialto run starring Harry Connick Jr. in spring 2009 until the deal was scuttled prior to the out-of-town tryout in Boston. Since then, book writer Joe DiPietro has picked up two Tonys for last season's "Memphis."

Kathleen Marshall, who was originally attached to the tuner before walking away (along with a team of producers) from the earlier incarnation in the summer of 2008, helms the reading.

Broderick has not appeared in a Broadway musical since he and Nathan Lane toplined the 2001 smash "The Producers." Foster will star this spring in the Roundabout's Marshall-directed revival of "Anything Goes." (However, an actor's appearance in a developmental reading reps no guarantee the thesp will remain on board for any future staging.)

New tuner "Nice Work," which compiles its score from the catalog of George and Ira Gershwin, centers on a Prohibition-era playboy. Project is loosely related to DiPietro's 2001 regional outing, "They All Laughed," inspired by the 1926 Gershwin musical "Oh, Kay!"

Aug 10, 2010 from New York Magazine:
At Cinema Society and Urban Zen Foundation's screening of Showtime's The Big C, held at Donna Karan's East Hampton home last week, we overheard Sarah Jessica Parker talking about her husband Matthew Broderick's Ping-Pong skills, so we asked him about his prowess with the paddle. He got kind of defensive: "I used to play a lot. Now I know it has become fashionable, but I was way ahead of that curve. I was playing Ping-Pong when it wasn’t, 'Everybody’s playing Ping-Pong.' Now everybody’s going nuts over it. I resent that ... I’ve moved on to Jai alai."

Ever mindful of the environment, Daily Intel decided, upon invitation to a screening of new Showtime show The Big C at Donna Karan's home in the Hamptons this past weekend, to take it upon ourselves to find a celebrity spokesman for the BioBug, or as we call it, the Fartmobile, the car that runs on biofuel made from human waste, recently unveiled by a British company. After all, the Prius has Leo, Tesla has David Letterman — who will stick up for poop? After being given the runaround by several well-known celebrities who profess to be ecominded ("It’s a good idea in some ways, but gross," said Matthew Broderick; "I maybe wouldn’t be offended to drive in one," added his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker), we found our man in the show's charming star, Mark Ruffalo. "I think that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard," he told us. Would he drive one? "Hell yeah, I’d drive it." BioBug, you are welcome.

Broadway’s Corbin Bleu, Matthew Broderick and Constantine Maroulis are set to play a new arena July 19, when they take part in Yankee Stadium’s “Bombers Boomer Broadway Softball Classic.”

“Proceeds from the event will benefit the Boomer Esiason Foundation Fighting Cystic Fibrosis and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS,” according to press notes. “In addition, the New York Yankees will donate 2,500 tickets to Bronx-area camps and youth league teams.”

Maroulis will perform the national anthem before joining Bleu, Broderick and other Broadway stars on the field to play ball starting around 11:40 AM.

The performers will form two teams and play a seven-inning game starting as part of a doubleheader; the second game will feature sports radio personalities from New York station WFAN and VIP guests going toe-to-toe with Yankees alums.

Between games, Wicked’s Katie Rose Clarke will take her turn at the mike to sing the national anthem, and “Rockers on Broadway in the Bronx,” a special performance behind home plate, will feature cast members from Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys, Rock of Ages and Memphis. The second game will start at approximately 1:45 PM.

Fans can enter the Stadium through the Great Hall beginning at 9:30 AM. Some of your favorite Broadway performers may even be around to say hi and sign autographs between 9:45 and 10:45 AM.

During the pre-Broadway run of The Producers in Chicago, the buzz was insane. Reviews were glowing. Audiences were howling. The Manhattan hype machine was humming.

"Nathan [Lane] and Matthew [Broderick] couldn't go anywhere without crowds of people following them," Cady Huffman said. "They had to have bodyguards just to go out to eat. I always wondered what it would like to be a Beatle, and when I went out with them, I found out. I was like George, a Beatle on the side."

Winning the Tony, she said, was a surreal experience.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick had a "casual" anniversary celebration this year - because the special day came just a week before the Sex And The City 2 premiere.

The actress married Broderick on 19 May, 1997 in New York City but admits they weren't able to throw a lavish party to commemorate the date - and she's convinced her romance-obsessed alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw would disapprove.

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that her first gay friend died of AIDS.

The Sex and the City star said her and her actor husband, Matthew Broderick, were badly hurt by losing friends from the virus.

The actress was asked if she remembered her first real-life gay friend, as in Sex and the City 2 there is a gay wedding scene.

'He's not alive any more, sadly,' she revealed. 'Matthew and I talked about it a lot because even though we were younger than some of our friends who passed away, we were very much a part of the first generation of people who were really affected by AIDS.

ST. LOUIS - Even years after his retirement, an appearance by Stan Musial still triggers a standing ovation. "Not only is he one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game he's a great humanitarian and someone who has given back to the community time and time again," said Ron Watermon, St. Louis Cardinals. That's why the Cardinals are now asking fans to lobby the White House for Musial to receive the highest civilian award in the country, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Fans can go to the Cardinals website to show support for the Stand for Stan campaign. They can also download a cutout of Stan and then take a photo with it. Albert Pujols has done it and so has Matthew Broderick.

It has been over a year since the tragic death of Natasha Richardson, and last night (May 10) some of Hollywood’s best and brightest showed up at Studio 54 to pay tribute to the late actress on her birthday. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted arriving at “Tony Richardson’s Film for Natasha’s 21st” event along with her husband Matthew Broderick. Also in the house were Uma Thurman, Bette Midler, and Anna Wintour, all gussied up for the solemn occasion. And Natasha’s widower Liam Neeson also attended the memorial, looking a bit melancholy and yet appreciative at the outpouring of love for his late wife. (Photo by INF Daily)

NBC has only officially picked up four shows for the fall season, but they’ve picked up Twitter accounts for a whole bunch more! Judging from these accounts, it looks like the Peacock will likely greenlight the remake of Rockford Files, Jerry Bruckheimer’s thriller Chase, The Cape, about a masked hero, Matthew Broderick's comedy Beach Lane, David Kelley’s lawyer show Kindreds, and sitcom The Strip, about a child star who owns a bar outside Vegas. Shows without a telltale Twitter account include sitcom The Little Piggy and two ensemble relationship comedies Friends With Benefits and Perfect Couples.
