A spokesman for the semi-official group that coordinates the issuance of production permits for location shooting in Los Angeles has taken issue with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which said that the impasse in negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild had led to a "de facto strike" in Hollywood that had virtually shut down motion picture production.

Dual cardholders received an email message containing quotes from Sean Penn, Sandra Oh, Edward Asner, Justine Bateman, Anne-Marie Johnson, and Jobeth Williams denouncing the AFTRA deal.

Dear Readers, There comes a time every spring when one must break. It’s called, coincidentally, Spring Break, and this year I’m observing it. It’s not going to be an MTV-style spring break, because that involves Florida, channeling your inner “Wooooo!,” drunkenly yelling “I love you Tila!!” at Tila Tequila’s shiny, round, inflatable head, filming her with a cell phone camera, and then posting the footage to YouTube. I’m not doing that. Alternatively, an MTV-style spring break could also involve a time machine, Larry “Bud” Melman, and a prolonged Beastie Boys/Dating Game sketch with a random Justine Bateman appearance. I’m not doing that either. But I am going on vacation, so posts for the next few days will be...
