Hollywood execs do much better behind cameras.Imagine our surprise while channel-flipping the other day to find millionaire Jeffrey Katzenberg, chief executive of DreamWorks Animation SKG SKG Stichting Kwaliteit Gevelbouw (Dutch) SKG Spielberg, Katzenberg,and Geffen (DreamWorks Studios) SKG Thessaloniki, Greece - Thessaloniki (Airport Code) SKG Smith and Kraus Global , making a cameo appearance on Donald Trump's NBC NBC in full National Broadcasting Co.

His face-time on camera was limited, so there were no reviews of his performance from real critics. Suffice to say that if there were, it would have contained the sort of body blows Tom Hanks and Ron Howard are absorbing for "The Da Vinci da Vinci Surgery A surgical robot for performing certain surgeries–eg, mitral valve repair and laparoscopic procedures–eg, cholecystectomy and gastric ulcer repair. See Laparoscopic surgery, Robotics, Surgical robot. Code" over in Cannes. Perhaps part of the problem was that his appearance was such a blatant promotional stunt to generate buzz for Dreamworks' upcoming movie, "Over the Hedge." It didn't help that one of the two contestants to receive a trip to L.A. as a door prize gushed about the as-yet-unreleased film throughout the interview with the studio exec. If there is a winner in all this, it appears to be "Apprentice" (and "Survivor") producer Mark Burnett, who is moving the show to Los Angeles next season. Burnett is credited with convincing director Steven Spidberg--a co-founder with Katzenberg and David Geffen of the DreamWorks SKG film studio--to develop Fox Network's "On the Lot," in which amateur directors compete to become Spielberg's apprentice.

Maybe Spielberg, who is reportedly considering starring in "On the Lot," should reconsider going in front of the cameras. |
