LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Netflix and horror maestro Eli Roth have finalized a deal for the filmmakers' 13-part gothic horror series, "Hemlock Grove," to premiere in early 2013.
The deal continues Netflix's foraynike outlet store coupons printable
into original content. The streaming giant will also distribute shows including the David Fincher-Kevin Spacey political thriller "House of Cards" and new episodes of "Arrested Development."

International Television is producing the show.
Roth is best known for his ultra-violent horror franchise, "Hostel."

magic," Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer, said in a statement. "‘Hemlock Grove' is a sly blend of J.D. Salinger and Mary Shelley and will appeal to a broad base of fans captivated by these rich characters and stunning visuals."

"While I can understand that some people may have read something other than what was intended into my wearing that costume to a costume party, as anyone who knows me would attest, that is not consistent with my beliefs nor is it with who I am," Montgomery added.

is to do what I did then and apologize for any offense I may have caused."

"In 2004, I was blindsided when one nike store coupon
of the parents got up on the stage in a costume that was hideously offensive then and is hideously offensive now," Hanks said in a statement to TheWrap. "What is usually a night of food and drink for a good cause was, regrettably, marred by an appalling few nike outlets
moments."
The video came to light in a report on the Daily Caller. Eagles member Glenn Frey co-hosted the event.
A spokeswoman for Frey did not respond to requests for comment.

Daughter of ailing Zsa Zsa Gabor seeks court help
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The estranged daughter of ailing screen legend Zsa Zsa Gabor is set to ask a Los Angeles court on Tuesday to appoint a conservator to oversee her 95 year-old mother's affairs, her attorney said on Tuesday.
In the latest round of a bitter dispute between Francesca Hilton and Gabor's 9th husband, Frederick Von Anhalt, Hilton says she fears that Gabor is being isolated from her family and that her financial affairs may be exploited.
Gabor is bedridden in her Bel Air home and is fed by a tube after suffering a stroke, breaking her hip and having a leg amputated. She has been in and out of hospitals repeatedly in the last two years and is cared for by von Anhalt.
Hilton's lawyer claimed in a statement nike outlet johnson creek
that she had recently discovered Gabor's home is in default over missed mortgage payments and that von Anhalt recently secured a $700,000 loan against the property.
Hilton, 64, Gabor's daughter from her second marriage to hotel baron Conrad Hilton, wants to have a court decide "what is best for her mother, to determine whether Zsa Zsa is getting the best care she can afford, whether Zsa Zsa is being isolated or allowed to be with family and friends who love her, and whether her funds are being managed in her best interests."
Von Anhalt could not immediately be reached for comment.
Attorney Kenneth Kossoff said that "in spite of her conflicts with von Anhalt, Francesca has been hoping he had Zsa Zsa's interests at heart.
"However, having just recently learned that he tookbuy nike free run
out a $700,000 loan, and that there was a notice of default recorded against the property in late February 2012 because he apparently has not been paying Zsa Zsa's mortgage payment, it became clear to Francesca that if she did not seek to protect her mother, no one else would."
The conservatorship petition, to be presented in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, will allow the court to investigate Gabor's health, assets and total environment.
Hungarian-born Gabor starred in 1950s films "Moulin Rouge" and "Lili" and became a fixture on the Hollywood celebrity circuit by virtuenike shoes for boys
of her multiple marriages to wealthy men.
Francesca Hilton, an actress and writer, has been estranged from her mother since a 2005 lawsuit involving family finances that was dismissed by a Los Angeles judge.
In the past year, Von Anhalt has put their Bel Air mansion up for sale for $15 million, announced plans to auction Gabor's fur coats to help pay for her medical care and claimed that he plans to give Gabor another baby through egg donation, artificial insemination and a surrogate mother.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's daughter files for conservatorship
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor's only daughter asked a judge on Tuesday to place her mother in a conservatorship that will independently control the ailing glamor queen's medical care and financial needs.
Constance Francesca Hilton claims Gabor's husband,nike outlet woodburn
Frederic von Anhalt, has been isolating her 95-year-old mother and leaving her heavily sedated. She also questioned whether her mother's finances are being properly handled by von Anhalt.
"By isolating me from my mother, not only does her current husband deprive her of my love and companionship, but he goes against estate planning documents that appear to reflect her wishes that he not be in sole control of her affairs," Hilton wrote in a declaration accompanying her petition.
Hilton is asking the court to appoint her as Gabor's conservator,foot locker nike air max
although her attorney, Kenneth Kossoff, said they would be willing to have an independent third party handle all oversight duties.
Hilton and von Anhalt have squabbled for years over Gabor's care. Von Anhalt blasted Hilton in a phone interview, saying his wife is comfortable and that he cares for her every night.
"It's probably her last card she's playing now," he said of Hilton. "It's all about money. She's afraid, her mother passing away eventually, and there's nothing."
Kossoff denied the accusation, noting that the establishment of a conservatorship would require a judge to review Gabor's finances and make sure all money is "being spent in her best interests."
"It would be a strange way to get ahold of Ms. Gabor's money," Kossoff said.
Von Anhalt said he welcomed the court scrutiny of Gabor's care. "I want the court to come and see what's going on," he said. "I want the court to see how comfortable my wife is."
A news release issued before the filing stated that Hilton has been waiting for a year for financial and medical information about her mother that husband von Anhalt has refused to disclose.
"While her husband has been having her see a cardiologist and has caregivers at her house, I am very concerned that her medical needs and treatment are not being managed in her best interest," Hilton wrote in her court filing.
Von Anhalt said he is acting in his wife's best interest and is forced to sell her Bel Air mansion to cover his wife's debts and medical bills. He said expenses amount to around $30,000 a month, even though Gabor's monthly income is only $6,000.
Hilton, he said, "doesn't want me to sell the house."
Kossoff said any sale of the mansion should be handled classic nike air max
through the conservatorship proceedings.
The first hearing on the matter was scheduled for May 2 before Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz, who also oversees the conservatorship of Britney Spears.
Gabor, a Hungarian-born sexpot of the 1950s and 1960s, has been in declining health and didn't make an appearance at a February birthday party hosted at her mansion.
