Abby Lee Miller opened up about her prison sentence in a new interview airing on Tuesday, July 25.
The former Dance Moms star, 50, who began her 366 days behind bars for fraud on Wednesday, July 12, admitted to making many mistakes that contributed to her sentencing. “I probably won’t survive,” she solemnly told The View’s Jedediah Bila in the interview filmed before Miller reported to prison.
In the preview, Miller revealed that she panicked upon hearing the guilty verdict. However, although she fears tarnishing her legacy, she’s remaining hopeful. “I gave kids a new life,” the Lifetime star said. “No one can take that away from me. No one.”

Fighting words! In an exclusive new interview with Us Weekly, Abby Lee Miller slams Cheryl Burke's claims that the girls from Dance Moms are "traumatized" by their former instructor's prison sentencing.
"I think it's a joke," the 50-year-old choreographer, who was recently sentenced to 366 days in federal prison for bankruptcy fraud, tells Us. "In my studio, every single day, I had numerous producers, [choreographer] Gianna [Martello] and some type of child advocate service person who's the tutor/social worker who is there, who watches ... everything that's said, everything that goes on. So, how could any traumatizing be going on? That's ridiculous."

“Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller isn’t letting her yearlong jail sentence keep her from cutting loose before she gets locked up.
Miller was seen out celebrating E!’s new show “What Happens at the Abbey” at the Abbey, a hot spot in West Hollywood, and she didn’t shy away from talking about the elephant in the room.
“She held nothing back when the topic of her sentencing came up. She told one person, ‘I made a mistake and now it’s time to pay the price.’ She dished on how she made mistakes with her finances and said she would have done things differently. But she said she was refreshed and ready for her stint in the pen,” a spy told us.

On Tuesday, Lee Miller was sentenced to 366 days in federal prison and ordered to pay a $40,00 fine and $120,000 money judgment after being charged with bankruptcy fraud and bringing unreported $120,000 foreign currency into United States. "A year and a day," the 50-year-old reality star said on Good Morning America Wednesday. "It sounds like a movie title." When she leaves prison, Lee Miller said she hopes to "be a smarter businesswoman and also to worry about myself." As she fought back tears, she looked back on her career.

Cécile de France stars in Étienne Comar's Django Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
On the opening night of the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in New York, Cécile de France who stars with Reda Kateb (as Django Reinhardt) in Étienne Comar's Django, spoke with me about costume designer Pascaline Chavanne, Man Ray's muse Lee Miller as the inspiration for her character, Lauren Bacall, Edward Hopper and Claude Miller's Un Secret.

Django, based on the novel by Alexis Salatko, chronicles a crucial time period in world-famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt's life and simultaneously sheds light on the hypocrisy and contradictions at the core of Nazi policies. Admired for his musical genius, Reinhard, because of his Romani background, also was a target of the regime. In 1943, Django was a star in Paris and received an invitation by Goebbels to come play in Berlin.

Kate Winslet will soon be back on our screens playing Joanna Hoffman, a woman making her way in a male-dominated milieu with Steve Jobs. And she’s now eyeing another role based in reality, signing on to play American model, artist and war correspondent Elizabeth “Lee” Miller. Production outfit Hopscotch Pictures is putting together the project, which is currently on the hunt for a director and writer. Whoever does write the script will base their work on her life and the defining moments of it, as detailed in son Antony Penrose’s biography The Lives Of Lee Miller. Known for both her glamour and her mind, Miller was a muse and collaborator to the likes of Pablo Picasso and painter/photographer Man Ray, and, thanks to her early education in the technical aspects of photography, took over from the latter when he expressed a desire to concentrate on his other art.

Eager to keep the biopic train rolling along, Kate Winslet has inked a deal to topline a new film focusing on Elizabeth “Lee” Miller, a celebrated fashion model, artist and war correspondent.
Hot on the heels of her appearance as Macintosh developer Joanna Hoffman in Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs, Winslet is remaining firmly in the genre of real-life dramas with this new, as-yet-untitled project, which is to be produced by Troy Lum and Andrew Mason of Hopscotch Features.
Documenting some of the late photographer’s defining moments, Lum and Mason’s nascent feature will borrow story strands from Antony Penrose’s intimate biography, The Lives of Lee Miller. As Miller’s son, tailoring the film to fit Penrose’s mould will surely offer a personal, almost unprecedented look into her life and work.

What did we learn from Natalie Dormer's Reddit Ama? Mostly that her favorite TV show is Veep, that she's obsessed with war photographer Lee Miller, and that the food on the Hunger Games set is better than the food on Game of Thrones. But, most important, we learned what it was like to work with Ser Pounce, the leading feline thespian of our age. Turns out the cat was a bit of a handful, and not just literally: "Ser Pounce was a bit of a diva that day, he didn't want to stay on the bed, he was very difficult to work with." This sounds like a purr-fect explanation for why he wasn't invited back, but hopefully, with a new claws in his contract, he can return for season five.

Sean Pertwee steals the show in this week's Elementary. Here's Frances' review...
This review contains spoilers.
2.17 Ears To You
Combining the macabre and the bizarre is something Elementary does very well. Remember Holmes’ repeatedly thwarted attempts to trepan a human skull a few weeks ago? The de-eyeballed Oriental Studies professor last season? This year’s ballerina Julienne? Weird and gross are a speciality of Elementary’s cases, and the solution to this week’s really took the biscuit.
It wasn’t the severed human ears in a box that really got me - crime TV viewers have seen appendages aplenty sliced, iced and delivered by FedEx in our time - but the ones growing out of a woman’s back. That, even for a seasoned detective drama fan, was a first. (Why Sarah Cushing decided to grow two ears when surely one would do is anybody’s guess.

The role of Mycroft Holmes in Elementary has gone to Mr Nice and The Amazing Spider-Man actor, Rhys Ifans...
Elementary, it has to be said, was the surprise of last autumn's new additions to the TV schedule. Far from the car crash Sherlock imitation many were expecting, it started well-enough and steadily grew into a show with wit, intrigue, and at the heart of it, a consistently strong performance from Jonny Lee Miller that elevated it above your standard police procedurals. You can read more on how it silenced the critics, here.
Elementary's taste in British supporting actors, has so far been second to none (okay, well, second to Game of Thrones, but that's a given).

"M" has gone down as my favorite episode of Elementary Season 1.
The installment focused on Sherlock's history in London, as we discovered some of his past when his arch enemy Moriarity returned and the tragic death of Irene Adler was revealed. We also witnessed the depths to which Holmes is willing to do to get his revenge. Someone call Emily Thorne, people, Sherlock Holmes may just give her a run for her money.

The installment focused on Sherlock's history in London, as we discovered some of his past when his arch enemy Moriarity returned and the tragic death of Irene Adler was revealed. We also witnessed the depths to which Holmes is willing to do to get his revenge. Someone call Emily Thorne, people, Sherlock Holmes may just give her a run for her money.

My Thursdays seem meaningful again now that Elementary has returned! "Dirty Laundry" was the second-half starter and it was a great way to get things back and running.
This episode was a prime example of the kind of loops that this show can take you through; from a woman being murdered and thrown into a washer... to prostitution rings a Russian spy. Yes, Elementary knows how to keep it fresh.
The investigation was as entertaining as always. The Russian spy angle is something I would have never seen coming in a million years. The fact that her handler is the one that killed her kind of blows me away. Why? Well, having been an avid Chuck fan, I'm not used to seeing a handler being the kind of person who would kill you rather than fall in love with you.
I was predicting that the daughter was the one who killed the mother,...

After watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series in 1997, we decided Venom and Mary Jane Watson were actually a better couple than Mary Jane and Spider-Man, and we haven’t looked back since. In case you’re new to the Internet, pretty much every TV show, movie or otherwise fictional couple has a huge fan base swooning over their relationship. It might be a well-established couple or the characters might have met once to sign for a Ups package, it doesn’t matter. Someone is obsessed with them declaring their eternal love. This is a phenomenon known as shipping, and it is 75% of the reason anyone even knows about Twilight.
Maybe we just spent too much time on Tumblr over the last twelve months (we really, really did!), but 2012 seemed like a year where shipping was front and center. From New Girl to Sherlock, everywhere we looked shippers were building onto the fictional universes they loved,...

In "The Leviathan," we were taken on yet another great investigation that, as usual, featured many twists and turns. Yes, it was just Another great episode of Elementary.
For the first time since Elementary Season 1 premiere we saw Sherlock stumped. I thought that seeing him unable to come to an immediate conclusion would be frustrating, but I found it all the more interesting and it pulled me in.
During the progression of the case, we had Watson trying to impress her family, knowing that it was essentially an impossible task. Sherlock to the rescue!
Starting at the beginning: Really, Sherlock? Twins?!? You get yours, man, but I have to admit, Watson did look a little jealous. She was either very distraught with this little reveal or very jealous. Either way, this opening was definitely the most comedic thus far.
One of my favorite parts about this episode was the continuation...

On CBS’ Elementary, Johnny Lee Miller plays a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. The English actor’s interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth is hyperkinetic. Holmes is indelicate. He jitters. When observing some liar or crime scene, he’s prone to biting his bottom lip—presumably, an outward manifestation of all of those synapses firing off in his big ol’ genius brain. Although none of these character quirks are particularly unexpected or novel they work. Miller is mesmerizing. His performance is the one thing that distinguishes this new series from other crime dramas. But shouldn’t the show’s connection to Conan Doyle’s stories be what sets it apart? This updated Holmes lives in Manhattan. His female Dr. Watson, Joan (Lucy Liu), isn’t a flatmate but a sober companion—like the Holmes of Conan Doyle’s stories, he struggles with drug addiction. He’s recently left rehab, living...

CBS has announced that Elementary, the crime-solving procedural starring Johnny Lee Miller as a modern Sherlock Holmes, will be broadcast in the plum post-Super Bowl slot on Feb. 3. Elementary will be the first non-reality show to follow the Super Bowl on CBS since its 2007 airing of Criminal Minds (which is yet another procedural, but with a slightly different gimmick). So, that's one mystery solved.

This episode of Elementary was one of my favorites of the season. The theme for this week's investigation was "The Angel of Death" and he was man who was mercy killing patients that were a sure fit to die a slow and painful death.
Last week, we focused on the growth of Sherlock and here loved the installment because of Watson's growth. We have known that Joan had completely changed her life because she had lost a patient and tonight we saw her in her "old element." It was nice to see Watson as a doctor, wasn't it?
First, let me talk about the case. Since this is the first review I'm doing for this show; I need to tell you that I love Johnny Lee Miller as Sherlock. The way Johnny delivers his lines and the attitude he puts with it is just how Sherlock should be portrayed. "Lesser Evils" proved just that.

Elementary, Season 1, Episode 3: “Child Predator”
Directed by Rob Holcomb
Written by Peter Blake
Airs Thursdays at 10pm (Et) on CBS.
Two episodes in and Elementary hasn’t stood out as a worthwhile UK-to-us adaptation. It may have made us chuckle with choice moments and the chemistry between lead stars Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu slowly simmers, but as a whole, the show has not become compulsory viewing.
After a short two week break, Elementary comes back with an interesting case of a child kidnapper/murderer called as the “Balloon Man”, who leaves ‘thank you’ balloons for his victims’ parents. Delving into his clippings from 2005, Holmes refreshes his theories when a new disappearance is reported, leading to a unexpected outcome.
‘Child Predator’ is more engaging and darker than previous episodes – touching on child abuse, unassuming psychos and kidnap, leading to a genuine sense of danger and a well thought-out police case.

Elementary is certainly making a solid effort at casting its guest-starring roles for its freshman season by going out into the world and finding some truly great talent. All I have to do is mention the names Callie Thorne and Lisa Edelstein and you should immediately know who they are and what they’re famous for. Thorne is currently starring in USA Network’s Necessary Roughness, but she’s been guest-starring in major series like Law & Order: Svu for years, while Edelstein is, of course, known for the seven years she spent on House. And now the two actresses will bring their awesomeness to CBS’s modern Sherlock Holmes series, though they won’t, unfortunately, appear in the same episode.
According to TVLine, Thorne will guest as Captain Gregson’s former partner Terry D’Amico, a veteran NYPD detective. Her appearance comes about when she and the Captain are accused...

What was your favorite scene from the pilot?
Carissa: I don't know why I love it so much, but the way Sherlock says two when he picks up the second glass bottom from the kitchen of the crime scene. It shows where his character is going to go and it's snarky and fun.
Jim: I really enjoyed Watson and Holmes on the roof as Holmes explained nobody with two alarms loves their job. It's so true yet nobody every says it!
Amanda: My favorite scene would have to be the closing.

When I had heard that CBS was premiering an updated version of Sherlock Holmes, I was less than impressed by the news. It also came as no shock to me that the network had originally contacted Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat to do an American remake of his and Mark Gatiss’ brilliant contemporary Holmes program Sherlock (you can read my early works to refresh your memory on my views on American remakes). When Moffat told CBS no, that they weren’t ready for a remake, the network went ahead with their plans and set about with their own take on the master detective. Intrigued by the boldness of the studio heads, I went ahead and watched the series premiere, fully expecting to hate it. I’m both happy and disturbed to say that I didn’t, but it certainly has its flaws.

Sure, he's got a film franchise and a hit in the UK, but there's always room for more Sherlock Holmes. That's what CBS is banking on with the premiere of "Elementary." This modern-day take on the detective has Holmes living and "working" in New York, while his sidekick Watson is a woman. In particular, she's Lucy Liu, and right from the first scene, she has a sizzling chemistry with Johnny Lee Miller's Holmes.
Sure, the show quickly settled into a familiar CBS groove, with Holmes and Watson aiding the police in a murder investigation. But the success of crime procedurals comes largely in the chemistry of their casts, even more than the cases of the week. That's where "Elementary" could shine.
"It’s going to be interesting watching these actors spar as these characters," wrote the Wall Street Journal of Miller and Liu's on-screen relationship.
Plus, it's always fun...

Many believe that CBS has taken a big chance this season with Elementary, as it will undoubtedly be compared to its BBC counterpart and Johnny Lee Miller will be stood up beside the talents of Benedict Cumberbatch.
After watching the pilot (twice), I'm willing to say it's a risk that will pay off big time.
Johny Lee Miller is an exceptional Sherlock Holmes; he possesses all the quirkiness and intelligence we have come to expect from the iconic detective in recent years. Where Miller stands out from previous actors is that he has toned down the narcissistic tendencies and has exposed a small sliver of vulnerability towards Watson.
And Watson... probably the boldest move made in the updated story is that Dr. John Watson has become Dr. Joan Watson. However, it's this change that allows Miller's vulnerability to work so well. Let me be clear that I see no romance happening between these two,...

Fans of the BBC’s excellent Sherlock, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson, were up in arms when CBS announced a suspiciously similar fall series called Elementary, with Johnny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Watson. Joan Watson, that is; she’s a surgeon with a dubious past who’s been hired by Holmes’s father to be his “sober companion,” but immediately gets drafted to be his sidekick in deduction. Steven Moffat, creator of the BBC series, has been vocal explaining what went down, which was essentially that CBS approached him and co-creator Mark Gatiss with the idea of doing an American interpretation, they said they loved the idea but weren’t ready, and CBS went ahead with it anyway, since the BBC doesn’t have a monopoly on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Wait a minute, I thought round was a shape? The always outspoken Abby Lee Miller had some typically direct advise for Honey Boo Boo when TMZ ran into her on the street. When TMZ's 'journalist' asked Lee Miller if she had been watching Honey Boo Boo she said "Not Much!" Then proceeded to a lightening round of advice "She needs to get in shape, she needs to be at a dance studio, she needs to be training, she needs to work on her turnout, the whole nine-yards."
As to whether or not her own show, Dance Moms, was exploiting children Miller explained that as a dance teacher her goal is to get kids ready for television, stage, the movies, you name it, so in her mind she is simply achieving her goal.

In CBS' modern day interpretation of Sherlock Holmes - Elementary - Johnny Lee Miller plays the titular detective. After suffering a nervous breakdown and addiction problem in Britain, he's relocated to New York City.
But his wealthy father doesn't believe he can remain sober on his own, so enter Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). Watson has been hired to act as Holmes' sober companion, and her first meeting with the quirky investigator goes about as well as you expect.
Watson soon realizes that Holmes has a knack for solving mysteries. She accompanies him on his freelance investigations for the New York Police Department and even pitches in a little, using her own medical knowledge to help. I believe this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
Watch a sneak peek below for the season premiere of Elementary, airing on Thursday, September 27 at 10:00 p.m. Et/Pt on CBS.

This film may be technically accomplished, but it seems like an 80-minute pop video in tribute to Stanley Kubrick
With a musical score supplied by the Us band Angels & Airwaves, this sci-fi meditation from 29-year-old debutant director William Eubank is a technically accomplished but stiflingly reverential homage to Stanley Kubrick. It often seems like an 80-minute pop video with a 2001 gimmick. There's a "pre-history" sequence: not apes, but soldiers in the Us civil war who make a strange discovery. Then we rocket forward centuries to a lone spaceman, Captain Lee Miller (Gunner Wright), in a cramped craft, who receives a disturbingly curt message from Houston. He's on his own. Panic is succeeded by existential horror and hallucinations that somehow trigger a kind of leap to a new consciousness, and we loop in the civil–war discovery. Technically proficient, good-looking – but what's the point?

Elementary hasn’t even had a chance to worm its way into our hearts with its modern take on the classic Sherlock Holmes character and not-so-classic Joan Watson – in the character’s original depiction in Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, Dr. Watson was a man – yet it is already planning to take us on a journey into the pasts of its characters. Because of Watson’s gender swap, her history is a tad more interesting than Holmes’ own backstory. Naturally, when you are examining how a character got from point A to point B, you’d need some sort of catalyst to trigger the flow of memories. And Dreamgirls’ Anika Noni Rose will play Watson’s catalyst.
According to TV Guide, Rose will join Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller for a single episode as Dr. Carrie Fox, a former friend and colleague of Dr. Watson (Liu). She’ll serve...

Can your television set be trusted with two American literature’s most iconic kids? We’d argue that it’s a tough call when the man who created them is not around to protect their integrity. We’re talking about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, who will soon undergo a radical metamorphosis from pre-teen river rats to twentysomething Big Easy detectives (and presumably barflies). Today’s news that producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen (“The Twilight Saga”) were developing a new network series re-imagining Twain’s two favorite sons as wise-cracking sleuths in steampunk New Orleans set off alarm bells reserved for literary emergencies like this one, when very bad ideas threaten very good books.

This fall on CBS we'll see yet another take on the classic and not-so-friendly super sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
Starring Johnny Lee Miller as the mythical detective and Lucy Liu in a rousing twist on the character of Dr. Watson, we got a chance to sit down with the Elementary stars at Comic-Con.
Among fun facts revealed during the interview:
Miller was hugely attracted to Sherlock battling drug addiction. The addiction story brings darkness that you don't often see on television and Watson is hiding behind Sherlock's addiction for her own purposes. Audiences like to identify with people who are struggling. Liu loves the idea of relapse and the characters getting back up. Miller is thankful he's only playing the highly intelligent Sherlock and not writing it! Miller describes his experience playing both Frankenstein and the Doctor against another well-known Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch.
