They came early to Heather Thomas Brittenham's Santa Monica home to plan their bidding strategy. "This is such madness," said Emmy Rossum of "Shameless.

The ad campaign for "Take Me Home: The John Denver Story" tries to sell the idea that the late singer-songwriter had a rocky road to the top, but what's striking about the movie, which airs Sunday on CBS, is how normal his life was--how the Rockies in it were pretty much limited to the mountains he loved to sing about.

Robert Rodriguez has had a rather eclectic film career. Though the Austin, Texas-based filmmaker has directed such violent, R-rated fare as "El Mariachi," "Desperado" and the recent gore-fest "Sin City," the father of four sons has also enjoyed success with his "Spy Kids" adventures. He even successfully reintroduced the old '50s movie experiment of 3-D in his last "Spy Kids" vehicle.

The Scene: Tuesday's premiere of Gramercy's "Mallrats" at the Universal City Cineplex Odeon. A party (part of an MTV special) followed at B.B. King's Blues Club on the nearby CityWalk. "The film is about guys who have nothing to do with their lives except hang out in malls and play Sega," said star Shannen Doherty. "There is absolutely no message. It's kind of brain candy, but the dialogue is very witty and sophisticated. I hope people don't pawn it off as a teen-age movie."
