The Deal releases July 29, 2008 under the Miriam Collection label from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.
THE DEAL, directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Stephen Frears (The Queen, Mrs. Henderson Presents), explores the complexities of a long-standing relationship between the former British Prime Minster and his successor. From their early parliamentary days to the key meetings following the death of party leader John Smith, Brown was slowly eclipsed by his younger protégé Blair with the growing belief that his popularity could deliver a General Election victory. The film follows the repercussions of what happened and the lasting legacy of good and ill that stems from it.
THE DEAL is a BAFTA award winner for Best Drama and stars Michael Sheen (The Queen, Blood Diamond) as Tony Blair and David Morrissey (The Reaping) as Gordon Brown. Loosely based on the novel The Rivals by James Naughtie, the compelling docudrama debuted on HBO in November 2007. The Deal will be available for the suggested retail price of $22.95.
Synopsis: Tony Blair and Gordon Brown shared a tiny windowless office in the House of Commons in 1983, and a friendship grew out of similar political philosophies and ambitions. When the Labour Party suddenly needed a new leader they were the front-runners, and one of them had to stand aside. The two friends were faced with making a life altering decision, almost exclusively determining the future of British politics.
Special Features:
· A Conversation with Stephen Frears
· Audio Commentary with Writer Peter Morgan
· Biographies – Tony Blair and Gordon Brown

Baby Levi Alves McConaughey was born on Monday night (07Jul08) and there's no one happier about the baby news than grandma Kay.
She is convinced her son will make a great father - and hopes he and partner Camila Alves have many more kids.
She tells Eonline.com, "He just loves children. Can't you just see it? Matthew with his surfboard, walking the beach, and a gang of kids following him with their surfboards saying, "We're coming, Papa!'"
And Kay McConaughey insists the birth has brought her son and Brazilian model Alves closer together than ever: "Matthew is so proud of Camila. I think it's excellent that men are allowed in the room when women give birth. He loves Camila, but now he really sees how strong she is."
And the proud grandma approves of baby Levi's biblical name, adding, "It's so strong... Levi McConaughey, that's no wimpy name."

She jokes, "Just get him (Levi) flip-flops and a bathing suit. You know that kid's not going to be wearing a lot of clothes."
The quip is a jab at her buff actor son, who is famous for wearing as little as possible.

The bosses of a DVD porn company are claiming victory in their battle over the authenticity of a JIMI HENDRIX sex romp, claiming the rock legend's estate has failed to prove the star of the raunchy footage isn't the late guitar great. Vivid Entertainment released Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape on DVD in May (08) and company bosses were immediately challenged over the authenticity of the footage.
The controversial video depicted a man having sex with two women, and Vivid insisted the star was Hendrix.
Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch even offered Experience Hendrix, LLC officials $100,000 (GBP50,000) if they could prove the man in the video wasn't the rock star.
Sixty days after the offer, the Hendrix estate has failed to come up with verifiable proof that Hendrix is not the star of Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape.
Hirsch says, "In early May we made a good faith offer through our attorneys to pay $100,000 to Experience Hendrix if it could offer proof within 60 days that our tape was not authentic.
"We always knew it was real and were confident that the Hendrix heirs would be unable to substantiate their claims."
Hirsch's claims have been backed by Hendrix's former road manager Neville Chesters and groupie icon Cynthia (Plaster Caster) Albritton, who held Hendrix's penis in her hands while she made a plaster cast of it.
