"Huckelberry Finn" is behind the 2011 Hollywood Hot Assistants List. Turns out it's an assistant at Rko who asked that I not post his name. "The list started as a practical joke and then just kind of blew up," he emails me. "People actually started voting from across the tracking boards and tons of votes came in." The purpose is to name who's most promising career-wise (and looks-wise, which Deadline will ignore) and to "aid executives in the hiring process" for film/TV. Take up any corrections with Huck: Sierra Nelson - Fremantle Media Chloe Yellin - Donna Langley, Universal Samantha Goettlich - Open Road Media Deb Macintosh - Wme Malcolm Gray - Spyglass Zander Lehmann - Di Bonaventura Trey Pool - Strange Weather Natalie Hayden - Adam Goodman, Paramount Kevin Hussey - Michael Kives, CAA Michael Wilson - Dan Erlij, UTA Larrison Campbell - Kelly Lugenbiehl, ABC Renee Kurland -...

The extra-large architectural complex--art museums, libraries, office complexes--built so prolifically over the past decade are commonly described as expressions of civic pride. They might just as easily be called grandiose expressions of runaway prosperity and municipal vanity. Whatever you call them, shrinking government revenue and newly parsimonious corporate donors have combined to bring the curtain down on mega-projects. Welcome to the post-big epoch.
Nothing signals the death of an era more conclusively than academic post-mortems. On Saturday the Cooper Union held an all-day conference, "Arrested Development," to discuss the dubious fate of mega-projects. Point of debate: Are projects like the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and sustainable neighborhoods like the Beddington Zero Energy Development in England (above) beneficial or harmful to surrounding communities? Like many such mega-projects, Atlantic Yards would eliminate existing streets, overwhelm the surrounding brownstone neighborhood and add an estimated 40,000 new car trips every day.

Ryan Seacrest has signed with CAA after 10 years at Wma.
The news comes on the heels of the "American Idol" emcee becoming the highest-paid reality host with a new three-year, $45 million deal to continue his duties on America's top-rated show.
Seacrest did not use an agent in that deal. Instead, he was repped by his attorney Craig Jacobson and Adam Sher, a former Wma agent who once co-represented him with John Ferriter until recently leaving the agency to join Seacrest's production shingle Ryan Seacrest Prods.
Going into the renegotiations for "Idol," Seacrest had informed his long-term reps at Wma, which had just merged with Endeavor to form Wme, that the agency would not commission any future deals for "Idol" or for his lucrative radio deal with Clear Channel.
That was not acceptable to the agency, sources said
The "Idol" and radio pacts are probably the biggest revenue source in Seacrest's portfolio,...

New York -- Ever since the Sept. 11 attacks moved him to appreciate members of the military more than ever, "CSI: NY" star Gary Sinise has been on a mission to increase awareness and appreciation of their contributions to this country.
It's a mission that has taken him to Iraq four times since 2003 and Afghanistan as well as military bases in Europe, Asia and the U.S. And it's one that is chronicled in an hourlong documentary narrated by Sinise and airing at 9 p.m. Saturday on the Fox News Channel.
Sinise is well known for his Oscar-nominated role as wounded Vietnam War vet Lt. Dan in "Forrest Gump." He worries that the contributions of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans will be ignored or forgotten, much like it was for Vietnam veterans.
"We have volunteer defenders who are out there in dangerous places, and their families worry about them," Sinise told The Hollywood Reporter.
