hBrooke Burke will host ‘She’s Got the Look’

NEW YORK — TV Land says television personality and former “Dancing With the Stars” champion Brooke Burke will host the third season of the reality modeling competition “She’s Got the Look.”

The show aims to find women over 35 with potential for becoming models.

Burke said Thursday in an Associated Press interview that the show is about second chances and women making the most of their potential.

Contestants have ranged from ages 35 to 72, and winners have represented some of the most sought-after brands in the beauty industry.

“She’s Got the Look” is slated to begin production in Los Angeles.

Posey, Banks, Spurlock to be jurors at Sundance

LOS ANGELES — Parker Posey, author Russell Banks and filmmakers Karyn Kusama and Morgan Spurlock are among the jurors for this month’s Sundance Film Festival.

Actress Posey, whose films include past Sundance entries “The House of Yes” and “Broken English,” will be one of five jurors judging the U.S. dramatic competition.

Joining her are Banks, producer Jason Kliot, cinematographer Robert Yeoman and director Kusama, whose “Girlfight” shared the top prize at Sundance in 2000.

Spurlock, who directed the Sundance hit “Super Size Me,” is on the U.S. documentary jury, along with filmmakers Greg Barker, Dayna Goldfine and Ondi Timoner and entertainment journalist Nancy Miller.

The festival for independent film runs Thursday through Jan. 31 in Park City, Utah.

‘Spider-Man’ Broadway delay prompts refunds

NEW YORK — The delay in bringing “Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark” to Broadway has prompted its producers to offer refunds to theatergoers who had purchased tickets for performances that at one time had been expected to start Feb. 25.

The producers said last week that “the production is moving forward” and a new schedule for preview performances at the Hilton Theatre as well as an opening date later this year would be announced shortly.

Meanwhile, ticket holders can immediately request a refund from Ticketmaster or wait to exchange them for another date when the new performance schedule is announced.

The lavish musical has had a troubled history, with work on the musical stopped last summer because of financial difficulties.

It now reportedly has a budget that could hit the $50 million mark. “Spider-Man” will be directed by Julie Taymor and features a score by Bono and The Edge of U2.
