Jimmy Kimmel lands Emmy-hosting gig
The host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will host the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 23, ABC and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said Monday.
LOS ANGELES — The Emmy wheel has finally landed on Jimmy Kimmel.
it will be the first time that Kimmel has hosted the Emmy ceremony, which rotates on an annual "wheel" among the four major broadcasting networks.
CULTURE
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" premiered in 2003, but when ABC last broadcast the Emmys in 2008, five reality-TV stars hosted in an ill-bid bid to win over young viewers. The resulting ceremony earned terrible reviews and record-low ratings.
"We love television and look forward to working with the Television Academy and ABC in creating a show that is fast-paced, humorous, unpredictable and at times irreverent, but clearly celebratory of our incredible industry," executive producer Don Mischer, who will oversee the show for a record 12th time, wrote in a statement.
The Emmy show will air live on both coasts.

Despite age, da Vinci's art holds up
ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of only four existing female portraits by Leonardo, the oil painting shows a young woman in three-quarter profile wearing a low-cut red and blue dress as she holds a white ermine. Historians believe the subject was Cecilia Gallerani, the mistress of the Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, when she was 16 or 17. Da Vinci painted it around the year 1490.
WARSAW, Poland — Bark beetles and old age have damaged Leonardo da Vinci's 15th-century painting "Lady with an Ermine," but the masterpiece is still holding up well.
"The painting is 500 years old and has been subject to all the processes of aging," said Janusz Czop, the chief conservationist at the National Museum in Krakow.
"Still, it is in very good condition, thanks to the technology that da Vinci used," Czop said, noting the master painted on durable wood.
The painting was recently exhibited in various European capitals but Czop said the trips did not hurt it. Nonetheless, authorities have decided not to let it leave the museum again for at least 10 years.

'Hunger Games' becomes canvas for allegories
LOS ANGELES — "The Hunger Games," the teen action-adventure film that is opened to big numbers last weekend, is, without question, a parable of the Occupy Wall Street movement. It's also a cautionary tale about Big Government. And undeniably a Christian allegory about the importance of finding Jesus.
Like the Suzanne Collins bestseller on which it is based, the movie about a teenage girl fighting for her life in a televised death match in a dystopian post-apocalyptic country that has replaced America has a whiff of political content. But that has been enough to make a lot of people sniff out their own messages. "The Hunger Games" has become the rare piece of Hollywood entertainment: a
canvas onto which opposing ideologies are enthusiastically projected.
Pundits at Fox News saw a certain meaning. "The Hunger Games" is "a furious critique of our political system, in which the central government grows rich from the toil of the masses," Fox News contributor James Pinkerton wrote on the network's website.
Collins and director Gary Ross leave a lot of blanks: Viewers don't know, for instance, how the country sank into the dystopia. And unlike other young-adult literary sensations that have become hit films, such as the "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" series, "The Hunger Games" exists in a world much like ours. There are no fantastical elements.
"The Hunger Games' has this feeling of being contemporary
and political but without being really clear what its politics are," said Robert Thompson, a professor of media and popular culture at Syracuse University.
On the youth-oriented politics site Policy Mic, blogger Danny Keener argued that the story is a morality tale about the dangers of a political system where the wealthy dominate. "Only a handful of Gamakers exist" Keener wrote, referring to the exploitative group that stages the brutal Hunger Games, "but they are powerful, controlling just about everything connected to the Hunger Games themselves.
The New Testament content of the film is also hard to miss, at least according to those who home in on the triangle of main characters. "The trilogy is not a mere love story; it is a story

saw "The Hunger Games" primarily as an indictment of our obsession with reality television. "I was watching the Kardashian girl getting divorced, and that's a tragedy for anyone," she said. "But they're using it for entertainment, and we're watching it. The books hold up a terrible kind of mirror: This is what our society could be like if we became desensitized."
