“House of Sand and Fog” director Vadim Perelman has signed on to direct “The House with No Walls,” a docu-series examining the mystery surrounding the 2010 death of eccentric millionaire John Bender in Costa Rica.
The four-part series hails from Former Prodigy Media, the production company headed by “Brady Bunch” alumnus Christopher Knight and producer Phil Viardo. “House with No Walls” is based on an upcoming podcast about the Bender story, “Hell in Heaven,” from Blanchard House. The project has been developed with Selectors, a London-based IP incubator run by journalist William Ralston with backing from financier Goldfinch.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled that our collab with Selectors and Blanchard House on this documentary will now be masterfully led by such a talented and accomplished director as Vadim Perelman,” said Viardo.
“When we found this story, we were instantly hooked and began to explore the best possible way to tell it,...

George Gray, the announcer for “The Price Is Right,” is currently recovering in the hospital after suffering three massive heart attacks, but according to his publicist, he is “in good spirits.”
Gray was first hospitalized in Arizona last week after suffering his first heart attack and had a second one while doctors were operating to place stents in his arteries. After the operation, the stents failed, causing a third heart attack that required a second operation.
“George is recovering in the hospital and is in good spirits. His wife Brittney is by his ‘side,’ considering the Covid-19 protocols are in effect,” Gray’s representative, Phil Viardo, told TheWrap. “He is looking to make a full recovery and return to the Price Is Right when they come back from the pandemic hiatus.”

George Gray, the announcer for “The Price Is Right,” is “recovering well” after suffering three massive heart attacks last week, his representative confirmed to Variety.
The 53-year-old was rushed to the hospital last week after having chest pains. After his first heart attack, doctors began to operate and put in a stent to restore blood flow from one of his arteries. However, the stent failed right after it was put in, and Gray had a second heart attack. A second stent was then inserted to further help his blood flow.
Gray was going for his first walk around the hospital following the procedure for the second stent, when that stent also failed. Once again, he was put on the operating table, and then he had his third massive heart attack. This one was of the left anterior descending artery, also known as the “widow maker” artery because it is almost always fatal.

Whether it was constructing a science fair volcano or standing up to a bully, Peter of “The Brady Bunch” was always a resourceful go-getter. Christopher Knight, the actor who starred as the show’s middle son, hopes to channel that ambition into the launch of a production venture, Former Prodigy Media, with producer Phil Viardo.
Based in Beverly Hills, Former Prodigy Media has several projects in the works: a documentary about a teenager with Williams Syndrome called “Truelove,” a currently untitled Christopher Knight home makeover project, a true crime series based on the book “The Charmer” and the docuseries “Hard Time | Easy Meal” which documents stories of prison life and prison recipes.
“I am elated about this new venture,” said Knight. “It was only a matter of time before I expanded my business interests into TV and film production. The opportunity of teaming up with Phil just made sense and indicated,...

Adrianne Curry isn't shy about flaunting her assets. The first winner of "America's Next Top Model" has gone topless for a recent sunbathing session, and made use of her Twitter account to share two of the pictures taken during the session for many to see.
One of the photos sees the 28-year-old model soaking up the sun while reclining on a sunlounger. She covers her bare breasts with both hands. Along with the image, she wrote, "topless tanning taken with my friend honor."

"Fashionistas" is walking down a different runway.
Set up at Paramount Pictures four years ago, the chick-lit comedy project, based on Lynn Messina's debut novel, now has attached Donald Petrie to direct and produce independently.
Original producers Christine Peters and Michael Cerenzie of Cp Prods., which is based at Paramount, brought on Petrie and Kirsten Lea's Kellagio Entertainment to co-produce outside of the studio.
Lea will executive produce under Kellagio's LoveLea Films along with Phil Viardo.
With its echoes of the successfully translated "The Devil Wears Prada," "Fashionistas" traces the career of a young designer working at a design firm who plots to take down her ruthless boss by inventing a fictitious must-have designer.
Danny Fischer and Paula Chorley, a former fashion executive, are writing an adaptation of the book. James Berg and Stan Zimmerman wrote earlier drafts. The producers plan to sew up filming by the end of this year.
"As 'Sex and the City' and 'Mamma Mia!' have proved, there is a real hunger for female-driven comedies," Peters said. " 'Fashionistas' is the perfect marriage of humor and flirtation set in the exciting world of fashion and designers."
Petrie, repped by Wma, just finished filming "My Life in Ruins" for Fox Searchlight. He worked with Peters on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and his filmography includes "Mystic Pizza" and "Miss Congeniality."...
