Top Chef's Heather: I'm Not a Bully

Heather Terhune Was it karma that sent Heather Terhune packing from Top Chef? After weeks of verbally assaulting Beverly, she was booted for her disastrous Beef Stroganoff the same day that her frenemy placed in the top three in both the Quickfire and Elimination challenges. "I think it was all me, nothing else," Heather tells TVGuide.com. "I didn't cook the meat properly and I have no one and nothing to blame but myself." But the Chicago-based chef knows the story line couldn't have been scripted any better. "[Beverly] does well and the villain leaves!" So what exactly was the deal between the two of them? Find out below.Top Chef's Dakota: I was hurt by Nyesha's commentsDid you think it was going to be you getting the boot?Heather: Yeah, you always know. If you talk to other chefs, when you make a crucial mistake and you don't have a walk-in full of other steaks you can use like you do in your normal restaurant, you know. At least I knew. It felt like that was going to be me unless some miracle happened.It seemed to be between you and Grayson.Heather: Yeah, and we both bought the exact same cut of meat. We both bought the rib-eye from the same store. I was going to do something braised and I didn't. The original plan was to sear that steak and make it rare, but once I tasted a piece, it was spongy. And she had the same issue. I tried to salvage mine, [thinking] "OK, maybe I can braise it." But at that point, I was in rescue mode. You have two hours. There's no rescue then. The only other option is to leave the protein off.So it's Whole Foods' fault? They gave you guys bad meat.Heather: [Laughs] Yes, but it's ultimately my fault. I didn't pick the right meat and I didn't cook it well. As a chef, you make choices and I couldn't fix it. ... I had no back-up plan because I had no other protein. I liked the rest of my dish. I had a great sauce. I had roasted mushrooms. Some of them thought it was greasy. I disagree, but that's OK. It just could not be saved. ... Conceptually, I knew what I wanted to do from the beginning - a spin on Beef Stroganoff. I didn't take it as literally as Grayson did with hers. I knew it was supposed to be a play on that. It just didn't pan out for me. That's why I was OK with it. You saw me leave and I didn't cry. I was very proud of myself and I still am to this day. I have no regrets and I was so happy with how I had done throughout the competition.When did you realize you were screwed?Heather: During the cook pretty much. Once I tasted the meat and it was a spongy mess and I knew the quality of meat was bad, I second-guessed myself. And that's one thing you cannot do on Top Chef. I said it last night: I should've used the pressure cooker. It probably wouldn't have made a whole lot of difference because you can't braise rib-eye. And that wasn't the intention of the dish. Yes, the original Stroganoff is usually a braised meat you cook for a long period of time. But it wouldn't have mattered if I had used it. ... Tom said I could've cooked it for four days, but it wouldn't have mattered. It doesn't work like that with rib-eye. Once I knew I couldn't do the preparation I wanted, I knew someone else would have to screw up big time in order to save myself. Somebody would have had to have not plated something. Top Chef's Nyesha: I don't know how our dish ended up undercookedWhat did you think about Tom's comment about how Beverly used the pressure cooker and she wasn't in the bottom three?Heather: She had short ribs and you can't cook short ribs in two hours without a pressure cooker. I think some people think that's a dig on me, but when Tom Colicchio talks to you, all he is is honest. I never take anything he says as hurtful because he's right! He doesn't say it to be malicious; he says it because he's right. She did use a pressure cooker and she wasn't in the bottom three. There's nothing to take offense to because he's absolutely, 100 percent right. And I appreciate it.I'm sure you've seen the fan reaction about how you were bullying Beverly, and even Padma called you the "Queen of Mean" in a voiceover. What was going on between you two? Was it just a case of personality clashes?Heather: Yeah, and I think people made it seem worse than what it really was. I have a very direct personality and she does not. That's not bullying. I have no ill will toward Beverly. She wasn't a so-called target or anything. I am very blunt and to the point. I'm very honest and I say anything to your face. I never, ever said anything off-camera that I didn't say to you on-camera. And some people did! Other contestants said some very hurtful things I saw unfold while watching the show and some people have said some very hurtful things to the press about me during this whole process. They called you a bitch.Heather: Yeah! And honestly, it's very childish. It just goes to show you that some people are too cowardly to say something to someone's face, which I am not. I don't feel bad about the things I've said. I never swore at anybody. They never had to bleep me. I never called anyone any derogatory names. All I did was I spoke what I felt was right. If people thought I was abrasive, it would've been nice if someone said at the time, "Hey, I think you're being mean" or "You're not being fair to Beverly" or whatever. But people didn't. It's easier to talk behind someone's back to the camera than it is to their face. I made some great friends throughout this process. And it's a tough environment. It's hot! Everyone's under pressure. We're all after the same goal, but I do not regret one thing that I said on- or off-camera.Everyone's on your case for bringing up the shrimp at Judges' Table last week.Heather: Well, it wasn't my choice to talk about that! [Laughs]Top Chef's Whitney: My thought process was offWho brought it up?Heather: The judges asked us about it. They asked us, so I answered. I mean, I'm not stupid. Why would I bring up something that happened the week before? It doesn't make any sense. It had nothing to do with the competition that we were in and it was a double elimination, so I would've gone home with Beverly. Beverly and I actually got along during that whole cook. Do I think it was a coincidence that they put us together? Probably not. I mean, let's be honest! [Laughs] It sure does make for great TV. People have said some very nasty things about me this past week. Very nasty! I would be lying if I said that it wasn't hurtful. But at the end of the day, my friends, my family, the people who know, the people who come into my restaurant - they don't care about these things because they know me. And I know I'm not a bully. I know I'm not what all the names people are calling me. ... [The show] needed a villain and that's OK. I welcome it! I've been outspoken since I was 4 years old, so I wasn't shocked I was the villain.What are you up to now?Heather: I'm still at Sable. That's the beauty of this whole thing. I had an amazing job before the show and I have an even better and more fulfilling job now that I'm back. My company has been incredibly supportive. I've been with my company for almost 14 years. They've watched me grow and who knows what's on the horizon? As of right now, my restaurant is really blowing up. We were successful before I was on Top Chef, but even more so now. You would think that, with all this negativity, it would drive business away, but it's done the exact opposite. People want to eat my food and they're curious! They want to meet me at the end of the day. Regardless of how I was portrayed, it doesn't matter because people still come want to eat my food. And I was on Top Chef! I made the top 10! I could not be more proud.

Dominic Cooper gets Summer In February

Former History Boy and Abba warbler Dominic Cooper has joined the cast of turn-of-the-century drama Summer In February, based on the well-received novel by Jonathan Smith.He will appear opposite Dan Stevens, best known for period cliché factory Downton Abbey (but whosefearless turnin Andrew Davies' superb miniseries The Line Of Beauty is proof of his considerable talent), and, erm,Mr Popper's Penguins' Ophelia Lovibond in a true story of 'love, liberty and scandal.'Cooper has been suffering from tinnitus-like 'awards buzz' since his Devil's Double gig and will enjoy a less frenetic performance as acclaimed painter Alfred Munnings, a member of the bohemian Newlyn School of artists based in Cornwall and a rival in love to Stevens' land agent Gilbert Evans.Whether Evans, like Stevens' Downton incarnation Matthew Crawley, will be required to achieve the mean feat of finding a stylist to give him blonde highlights in the muddy trenches of war-torn northern France is yet to be determined.Jonathan Smith has adapted his own book for the big screen, while Stevens, a former English pupil of his at Tonbridge School, will exec produce. Helming the $8 million pic will be Christopher Menaul, who recently made his film debut with opera comedy First Night (not the one with Richard Gere).With aincreasingly accomplished cast and arich and resonant novel as its source material, we think this sounds like a promising little Brit-flick.Summer in February is expected to arrive at cinemas late in 2012.

Discord Between PGA And WGA TV Noms Highlights Qualifications Period Versions

Breaking Bad, Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire & Homeland Lead WGA TV Noms Modern Family, Large Bang, Parks & Rec, Wager On Thrones, Mad Males Among PGA Award Series Nominees Seconds following a Producers Guild introduced the tv series nominations due to its 2012 honours, commenters started asking in disbelief: Where's Breaking Bad? Indeed, the acclaimed AMC drama was plainly missing within the PGA Award nominations. Underscoring what came out as being a baffling omission, the WGA introduced its TV series nominations minutes later, and Breaking Bad introduced individuals with three nominations. But while their occasions really are a month apart within the month of the month of january-February, the PGA Honours and WGA Honours’ edibility home home windows vary very, inducing the puzzling discrepancies. Despite happening within the month of the month of january, the PGA Honours take advantage of the identical edibility period rules since the Emmys, which are kept in September: from June 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011. That instantly excludes all summer season/fall cable fare, including new Showtime drama Homeland, the latest seasons of Breaking Bad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Louie, etc., additionally to the new fall broadcast series. In contrast, the WGA Honours’ window of qualifications is closer to that for your Golden Globes, between 12 ,. 1, 2010 and November. 30, 2011. That’s why Breaking Bad, Curb and Homeland, which have been untrained whatsoever for PGA Honours this year, showed up WGA Award nominations, along with Fox’s new comedy New Girl. Really, Breaking Bad and Homeland acquired most likely probably the most WGA nominations, three, along with perennial faves Mad Males and Modern Family. Meanwhile, Mad Males, which was featured plainly inside the PGA Award nominations, is MIA for WGA accolades because its fifth season was postponed. Given simply how much the tv landscape has changed, using the best series airing inside the summer season and promising new series beginning on broadcasting and cable systems in fall, the qualifications period for your PGA Honours seems outdated and may be modified, so series don’t get granted for episodes that broadcast 1.5 years prior.

Youthful Adult

'Young Adult'A Vital release given Mandate Pictures of the Mr. Mudd production in colaboration with Right of Way Films and Colorado & Delilah Films. Created by Lianne Halfon, Russell Cruz, Diablo Cody, Mason Novick, Jason Reitman. Executive producers, Nathan Kahane, John Malkovich, Steven Rales, Helen Estabrook. Co-producers, Kelli Konop, Mary Lee, Janet Kono. Directed by Jason Reitman. Script, Diablo Cody.Mavis Gary - Charlize Theron Matt Freehauf - Patton Oswalt Buddy Slade - Patrick Wilson Janet Slade - Elizabeth Reaser Sandra Freehauf - Collette Wolfe Hedda Gary - Jill Eikenberry David Gary - Richard Bekins Jan - Mary Janet HurtAmerican comedies have spent the final couple of years exploring the thought of the guy-child -- physically mature, but psychologically stuck approximately senior high school and their adult years. Now we meet his female counterpart, and it is not really a pretty sight. A lot the greater: Reteaming pop-savvy scribe Diablo Cody with "Juno" director Jason Reitman, "Youthful Adult" revels in smashing the rules of safe Hollywood storytelling, casting Charlize Theron being an psychologically stunted YA novelist with limited appeal with no tidy character arc. A B -.To. gamble, the deliberately prickly pic courageously risks problem audiences to reach a truth beyond its genre's normal grasp. Cody finds herself in media crosshairs following the overnight acclaim of "Juno," despite the fact that the snark-meister has handled to sustain her unique brand through a mixture of Twitter updates, Entertainment Weekly posts and edgy writing projects ("Jennifer's Body," "The U . s . States of Tara"), "Youthful Adult" will certainly function as the make-it-or-break-it project in lots of individuals estimation of her talents. Instead of be cautious, Cody spins an individual situation of writer's block -- possibly inspired by her gig adapting "Sweet Valley High" for screen -- right into a deeply unflattering, semi-autobiographical takedown of adult-onset insecurity and egotism, inventing the storyline of the self-absorbed teen-lit novelist who returns the place to find rekindle things using the now-married boyfriend she dated in senior high school. Theron plays Mavis Gary -- beautiful, effective along with a mess. Mavis sometime ago accomplished her goal of getting away the perceived oppression of small-town Mercury, Minn., to reside the dream in Ontario. Why is she so unhappy? "Youthful Adult" is stylish towards the answer, but never preaches it outright: When individuals can hardly stand to be with themselves, they keep going from and reinvent their lives until they address the truth that the main of the dissatisfaction lies within. Though Mavis is unquestionably fashioned from facets of her creator's own personality, the operating idea appears to become that individuals don't change. Our prime-school full bee will be unbearable, and her fitting punishment is going to be needing to accept herself -- that is precisely Mavis' situation once the film opens: divorced and becoming by on television dinners and something-evening stands inside a dumpy caricature of her cosmopolitan ideal. Such straits, an innocuous email announcing the birth of her old flame's baby is what is needed to transmit Mavis' mind to the glory days, when she and football star Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson, reprising his laid-back "promenade king" aura from "Small ChildrenInch) were the school's most adorable couple. At first glance, "Youthful Adult" is all about Mavis' delusional mission to steal her former love from new wife Janet (Elizabeth Reaser inside a sly supporting turn). Much deeper lower, the film engages with the idea of maturity inside a culture that remembers such youthful ideals as beauty and instant gratification. In Mavis' situation, writing pulp melodramas for that Noxzema set encourages her to remain stuck within an adolescent mindset. However, since comedy is tragedy that unexpectedly happens to others, the film easily plays as satire, following different color leaves as Alexander Payne's shrewdly observant, lightly condescending Midwestern portraits, featuring character moments so true, one can't help but laugh in pained recognition. While Cody forms on the less singular but still piquant voice on her contempo figures compared to one heard in "Juno," Reitman and the cast skillfully manage the film's tricky tone. Nevertheless, "Youthful Adult" appears content to stay small, retreating from Mavis' climactic moment of catharsis to provide an ending that breaks another lengthy-standing Hollywood rule, because the problematic heroine stares self-realization hard and purposely decides to not study from her experience. Inside a film set on authenticity, it's really no coincidence that Mavis appears to become encircled by inane reality-TV programming. Real existence is messier than that, as shown through the film's most supportive character, an old classmate named Matt Freehauf who had been crippled through the awesome kids throughout a miscalculated gay-bashing incident. Inside a poignant, career-changing performance by comedian Patton Oswalt, Matt has every to be exacerbated, but, he's coped together with his adolescent issues much better than Mavis. Mavis, by comparison, results in just like a vampire straight from among the supernatural YA book series very popular nowadays. Shying from the sun, she eavesdrops on real teens for story ideas and stalks Buddy and the new family, oblivious towards the damage she's able to imposing on others. For Theron, this signifies another type of performance from "Monster" and "North Country," that she won plaudits while permitting herself to appear superficially unattractive. Here, the actress plays nearer to home, inviting auds to see the process through which she makes herself beautiful, painting on makeup, clipping her nails and affixing extensions to disguise her physical defects. However the scowl etched on her behalf face discloses the ugliness within, showing a naked candor -Body that stretches towards the script itself -- that's plenty admirable, simply since it is so squirm-inducing to behold.Camera (Luxurious color), Eric Steelberg editor, Dana E.
