'Dark Knight' FX supervisor cleared of wrongdoing in crew member's death
Oscar-winning special effects supervisor Christopher Corbould, 53, was found not guilty of failing to ensure the safety of a crew member who died during the filming of 2008′s The Dark Knight, reports Reuters. Special effects technician Conway Wickliffe, 41, was killed in 2007 when his vehicle hit a tree during a test for an action sequence in the film. Today, jurors at England’s Guildford Crown Court unanimously cleared Corbould of wrongdoing in Wickliffe’s death. In the credits of The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan dedicated the film to Wickliffe as well as to actor Heath Ledger, who died shortly after wrapping his Oscar-winning role as The Joker.

Alec Baldwin to Charlie Sheen: 'Sober up'
Alec Baldwin is offering some words of wisdom to Charlie Sheen: “Sober up… and get back on TV, if it’s not too late.” In an article on The Huffington Post, the 30 Rock star shares his personal experience of being removed from the Hunt for Red October franchise, drawing a parallel to Sheen’s recent firing from Two and a Half Men. Baldwin also sets out a plan of action to help Sheen get back in the good graces of the public and his former coworkers. “Take a nap. Get a shower. Call [Two and a Half Men co-creator] Chuck [Lorre]. Go on Letterman and make an apology. Write a huge check to the B’Nai Brith. And then beg for your job back,” he writes, adding, “P.S…. buy [Jon] Cryer a really nice car.”

'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' hit with federal fines
The makers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark were fined $12,600 today for workplace safety violations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, reports the Associated Press. The show, which has dealt with multiple cast injuries, is charged with putting its performers in danger of “the hazards of falls or being struck during flying routines.” Last month, the New York State Department of Labor issued two safety violations to the $65 million production.

'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' box office rises above the critics
Grosses for Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark went up 3 percent last week despite pans from news outlets like The New York Times and Variety, according to data posted on Broadway World. The show, which is still in previews until March 15, grossed $1.3 million during the week ending Feb. 13, putting it just behind box office champ Wicked at $1.4 million. This was the first week of sales after Spider-Man was hit with scathing reviews in several major publications on Feb. 7. Yesterday, the New York State Department of Labor issued two safety violations for the troubled musical, which has seen four of its performers injured since rehearsals began late last year.

'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' gets new high-flying finale
Broadway’s Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark has a new finale of aerial acrobatics performed by Spider-Man/Peter Parker, a rep for the show confirms to EW. The new stunts have replaced the show’s old ending, in which a curtain dropped abruptly from the ceiling after a bit of dialogue between Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Earlier this month, producer Michael Cohl told EW that director Julie Taymor, writer Eric Berger, and composers Bono and the Edge were convening to reassess the musical in the weeks before its official opening night, now scheduled for March 15 after three lengthy postponements. (The show was originally scheduled to debut on Dec. 21 of last year.)
Despite accident-plagued preview performances and mixed early reviews, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark continues to sell strongly at the Broadway box office, grossing $1.25 million during the week ending Jan. 16.

Eva Longoria sued by restaurant co-investor
Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria is being sued for allegedly charging an illegal interest rate on her $1 million investment in her restaurant group, Beso. According to a lawsuit filed by co-investor Mali Nachum in Encino, Calf., the company failed to bring action against Longoria after being informed that the star’s eight percent interest rate allegedly violates California law and would eventually have been worth $4.6 million. Nachum is asking for no less that $4 million in damages. “This is a desperate reaction in a lawsuit without merit by prior partners who, through their unauthorized and fraudulent actions, required Eva Longoria to seek reorganization protection through bankruptcy court in Nevada,” said a rep for Longoria in a statement. The first Beso restaurant opened in Hollywood in 2008, followed by a second restaurant and a club, Eve, in Las Vegas. (Beso Las Vegas and Eve recently filed for bankruptcy.)
