Barnes & Noble bringing Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight to UK retailer John Lewis in the fall

Last week, Barnes & Noble spilled its plans to bring its popular e-reader to the UK through its own storefront, and now retailer John Lewis is getting in on the fun. This fall, the Nook Simple Touch and Simple Touch with GlowLight will be hitting the chain's 37 UK locations, offering up customers a chance to interact with the devices. John Lewis will also be selling the device through its site at an undisclosed date during the aforementioned season. No information on pricing yet, but other details can be found after the break.

Celeste & Ruby Forever: How Sisters are Doing it for Themselves ...

I recently saw two films vying to be the indie hit of the summer: Ruby Sparks and Celeste & Jesse Forever. I was struck by just how similar these films are: both set in Los Angeles, both about 20/30 somethings struggling to find or keep love, and both are written (at least partially) by the lead actress. There are more similarities on that front as well. Zoe Kazan is the daughter of two screenwriters and the granddaughter of Oscar-winning director Elia Kazan. Rashida Jones is the daughter of Grammy-winning composer Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton. Also, both films feature one of my favorite, underappreciated actors Chris Messina, who I first noticed in the 2006 indie film Ira & Abby written by and starring Jennifer Westfeldt, which brings me back to the initial point. Sisters are doing it for themselves by writing films with roles to showcase their talents.

Jennifer Westfeldt has been doing it for years, in addition to the aforementioned Ira & Abby she recently found success again as both writer/ director/ lead actress in Friends with Kids although she is probably still best known for her writer/actress indie breakout Kissing Jessica Stein (and for being the lucky girl to land Jon Hamm). Speaking of Jon Hamm? he provided one of the bright spots in last year?s comedy hit Bridesmaids, co-written by and starring Kristen Wiig. Brit Marling had just two minor credits to her name when she co-wrote and starred in last year?s Another Earth and Sound of My Voice. Now her upcoming projects include a role in Robert Redford?sThe Company You Keep, and her next actress/ screenwriter project will also feature Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgard, and Julia Ormond. Actress Zoe Lister Jones co-wrote the recent indie release Lola Verus. Although Greta Gerwig took on the lead role, Lister Jones created a juicy supporting role for herself.

Even established actresses are getting into the actress/ screenwriter game. After auditioning for a play based on the same story nearly 30 years earlier, Glenn Close finally brought the story of Albert Nobbs to the screen by co-writing and producing, and Isabella Rossellini has recently focused her career on writing and starring in experimental film projects.

Among the current and upcoming actress/ screenwriter projects that will soon be hitting the big screen are: For a Good Time Call? co-written by and starring Seth Rogen?s wife Lauren Miller (the film also features an appearance by noted actress/ screenwriter Nia Vardalos) and Julie Delpy takes on directing as well in 2 Days in New York.

Also,Tina Fey, Lena Dunham, and now with her own show Mindy Kaling will be pulling double duty on TV this fall. So whether it?s happenstance, a passing fad, or the beginning of a new and vibrant trend, actresses on the big and small screens are using their pens to carve out roles for themselves.

UN leader to press Iran on nuclear drive, rights

UN leader Ban Ki-moon will stress to Iranian leaders this week that they must take "urgent" action on the country's nuclear drive and human rights, a UN spokesman said Tuesday.

The warning was given as Ban headed for Tehran to take part in the Non-Aligned Movement summit starting Wednesday. The United States and Israel said that Ban should not go to Iran.

The UN secretary general will raise the "clear concerns and expectations of the international community on the issues for which cooperation and progress are urgent for both regional stability and the Iranian people," a UN spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters.

"These include Iran's nuclear program, terrorism, human rights and the crisis in Syria," the spokesman added.

Ban expect to meet Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He arrives in Tehran on Wednesday and leaves again on Friday.

The UN leader has called on Iran, which faces UN sanctions over its nuclear drive, to prove that its research is peaceful. He has also slammed recent remarks by the supreme leader and Ahmadinejad calling Israel a "cancerous tumor."

The United States and European powers say that Iran is seeking to build a nuclear bomb and has sought to increase international pressure. Iran insists it wants nuclear power for peaceful purposes.

Ban has also been urged by human rights groups to take a stand on conditions in the country, which makes extensive use of capital punishment and has also been accused of persecuting political opponents and ethnic minorities.

"It is clear that when he goes there that he will reiterate his concern that the overall human rights situation in Iran remains critical," Haq said.

"And while his program is not yet finalized, he will be directing his message to all segments of Iranian society and the political spectrum.

"Regarding the message on human rights, Iran has an obligation under international law to protect freedom of peaceful assembly, association and expression and allow greater space for media activists, human rights defenders and political activists," the spokesman said.

Special Education Elementary School Student Left Alone On Bus ...

SIMI VALLEY (CBSLA.com)?? Simi Valley school officials are investigating how a special education elementary school student was left alone on a parked school bus for more than four hours on the first day of school last week.

The child was picked after the first day of class at Crestview Elementary School on Aug. 22 and was somehow left behind on the parked bus.

The bus driver thought the bus was empty.

?Seeing it is a bus for disabled children and/or mentally handicapped children, they should definitely check the bus a little bit more,? parent Tracey Carver said.

Temperatures were still high in Simi Valley that day, but the child was not harmed.

?What could have happened in four hours?? Carver said. ?Think of the babies that are left in cars for only a couple hours ? they die.?

The driver has been put on paid leave pending the outcome of a Simi Valley Unified School District investigation.

No other details were immediately available.

"Motown: The Musical" to open on Broadway in 2013

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Berry Gordon, the legendary music producer behind such acts as The Supremes and The Jackson Five, will have his life story spun into a new Broadway musical.

Titled, appropriately enough, "Motown: The Musical," the show will open on at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 14, 2013. Preview performances will begin March 11, 2013.

In addition to its opening dates, the show announced that Brandon Victor Dixon and Valisia LeKae have been cast in the leading roles of Gordy and Supremes frontwoman Diana Ross. Dixon received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in "The Color Purple." LeKae has appeared in "The Book of Mormon" and "Ragtime."

Gordy said the show will help audiences rediscover and remember the influence that his stable of pop stars had on American music and culture.

"I feel that Motown is Broadway and Broadway is Motown," Gordy said in a video announcement Tuesday.

Charles Randolph-Wright ("Ruined") will direct the show, which will feature music and lyrics from the Motown catalogue - a collection that includes songs made famous by such hit-makers as Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles and Marvin Gaye.

Gordy will play a key role in the creative direction of the show, having written its book, meaning it may not be a warts and all biography of the Motown record label founder. He will also serve as a producer along with Kevin McCollum and Doug Morris.

The producers said additional casting will be announced shortly.
