Brave World Premiere
The world premiere of the Disney/Pixar animated feature film Brave is being held in at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood Monday evening. Along with being the movie’s first official screening, it is a marquee event in this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival, the debut of the Dolby Theatre under its new name, and it becomes the first film to be shown using Dolby’s new “Atmos” theater sound system. Many of the film’s stars made the trip to the “red carpet” event which was actually held on a green carpet. We’ve already seen some photos coming in and we’ll post more of them here as they arrive.

Our thanks to AMC Theatres for live-tweeting photos from the premiere.

Alex Salmond
As Scotland’s Daily Record reported, Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond is attending the Brave premiere, with the hopes that it will spark tourism in the country where the film is based. Salmond also appears on Monday’s Late Late Show to answer tweets and emails with Craig, who tweeted earlier in the day:

Scottish First Minister @AlexSalmond on my show tonight to answer any questions you may have about Scotland. #exceptdirtyones #I’llaskthose

Meanwhile, Scotland’s tourism agency, Visit Scotland, has launched a worldwide campaign to coincide with the film’s debut, including a new video touting Scotland as the place “where legends come to life.” The website also includes details of a contest to win a trip to Scotland.


Brave Soundtrack
The soundtrack to the movie Brave is being released on Tuesday, June 19th. The album contains 20 tracks, including much of the music in the background of the film as well as vocal tracks.

New Late-Night Show
A new late-night talk and variety show will debut in the fall of 2013, hosted by Arsenio Hall.  The show is already sold in half of the country’s TV markets, including 17 of the top 20 markets, mostly on independent television stations.  The show will run from 11pm to midnight is most areas, competing head-to-head against local newscasts and overlapping against Jay Leno and David Letterman.  The news has been reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Times and other outlets. With CBS co-producing the show, it is possible that it could be taped at CBS Television City. We’ll keep you posted.

Big Daddy Awards
Jimmy Kimmel won the Big Daddy Award in the late night TV host category this year, as the online contest raised money for prostate cancer awareness and research.
