09:35 - Sony And Paramount Are Skipping Comic-Con
San Diego’s lucrative fanboy convention will be missing some key players next month: MarvelStudios, home of the Avengers, won’t be dressing up for Comic-Con while Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures have also decided to skip the Hall H presentations.
“It wasn’t a knock against Comic-Con,” one spokesperson explains, “the film cycles just didn’t allow it.”
Sony and Paramount just didn’t have the fanboy material to promote, said sources, while Marvel, which last missed the confab in 2011, already unveiled its new wave of Avengers at a special fan event in October.
Plus, the cost of sending a number of movies to Comic-Con can set back a studio a few hundred thousand dollars, so “why force the issue?,” one exec asks.
But don’t expect it to ruin the party in Hall H: In addition to the new “Star Wars” and final “Hunger Games,” fans could see the rumored coming-out party for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment’s Justice League, which features Batman, Superman, the Flash and Aquaman, among other surprises.
Also expected are 20th Century Fox’s “Fantastic Four” and quite possibly a few “X-Men.”
The 46th edition of Comic-Con will be held July 9-12 at the San Diego Convention Center.

09:30 - Emily Tarver, Meera Kumbhani & Fiona Robert Join USA’s ‘Donny!’
Emily Tarver (Black-ish), Meera Kumbhani (Weird Loners) and Fiona Robert(Chicago PD) have booked recurring roles on USA Network’s Donny!, a semi-scripted comedic series toplined by Donny Deutsch that’s described as a satirical look at the media, wealth and modern romance. Deutsch, chairman of ad agency Deutsch Inc. and a regular on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, stars as a fictionalized version of himself: a famed ad man, single dad and TV personality. Production began today in NYC for a late 2015 premiere.
Tarver plays Pam, the no-nonsense Executive Producer of Donny’s daytime talk show donny! who he plucked from obscurity seven years ago and groomed into his show’s EP. Kumbhani is Zoe, Donny’s second assistant, the slacker of the three who’s charged with handling Donny’s social obligations and social media. Robert plays Coco, Donny’s 16-year-old daughter who loves her dad, even if he is an idiot, and is hyper-protective of her little brother.
Also tapped for guest roles are Tina Casciani (Galina), Amin Joseph (Jason), Sean Patrick Gordon (Coach Gordon), Lesli Margherita (Piper), and Sheetal Sheith (Elizabeth). Christie Brinkley is also set for a cameo.

06:40 - Game of Thrones - Season 6 - Costume Designer Not Returning
Michelle Clapton won two Emmys for her work on the HBO hit.
A lot of people departed Westeros in Sunday's season five finale of Game of Thrones — and now there's one more: costume designer Michele Clapton, who exits after five seasons.
The two-time Emmy winner stated this in an interview with Fashionista.com. "I feel like I've covered all bases now. It was really important to me," she said "knowing that I was going to leave, to actually design costumes for each [geographic] area [of Westeros] so it's complete. In my head, anyway, it's a complete look I left.”
Clapton gave Cersei (Lena Headey) and the other Lannisters a gold colored palette, to match their wealth and royal status. Daenerys Targaryan (Emilia Clarke) arrived in Meereen in blue gowns — but in season five, switched to white and pale grey, as a way of "removing her from reality." The costumes for Dorne were colorful, feminine and chiffon — and for the Sand Snakes, purposefully sexy. Sansa Stark's (Sophie Turner) looks are all dark and brooding - except her wedding look, which mirrored the royal norther way her mother Catelyn Stark dressed.
Looks like season six will have a new look — along with its new plotlines. Shooting on season six of Game of Thrones starts in July in Belfast.
HBO did not respond to a request for comment on Clapton's departure.
