So here’s the deal: 20th Century Fox thinks it has Oscar bait on its hands; a September time slot would increase the odds of nabbing a nomination.

Still, this sucks. We want to see this movie. We want to see how Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan stack up against Gordon Gekko.

Are you as pissed as we are? Maybe it’s just us.

Cut to Ben (Bryan Greenberg), a cutie who wants to be some sort of artist or designer but is currently stuck working for The Man selling jeans at Barney’s just to make rent. His buddy, Cam (Victor Rasuk), seems like a perpetual schemer, borrowing money from shady uncle to launch new entrepreneurial projects that go nowhere. Their group is rounded out Gingy (Shannyn Sossamon), daughter of a rich guy who is trying to make it on her own, Ben’s ex Rachel (Lake Bell) and her unsympathetic new boyfriend. There’s also appearances by Kid Cudi and American Pie’s Eddie Kaye Thomas, who plays Ben’s high school pal David –a guy who’s bank in hedge funds but realizes all the money in the world can’t change the fact that he’s a geek.

Of course we love Ben, who struggles with his idea of success, especially in the face of self-made millionaire David. And who could not love Ben’s romantic troubles and challenges in getting over his ex? After a particularly humiliating failed sexual encounter, Ben stumbles drunk to Rachel’s apartment and yells to her from the street. It might be embarrassing to have a guy yelling at you in the middle of the night, but when has a guy ever done that for you? Oh, Ben (or Bryan), you can come scream outside our window at any time of night.

But what will keep us coming back to HBO’s newest half-hour comedy is Ben and Cam’s new business venture and whether it gets off the ground. They’ve decided to work together to launch a line of high end denim, which we admit sounds like a much better idea than hocking fake leather jackets. What challenges will they face as they work to produce their new project? What girls will they meet along the way? Will Ben finally find a girl worthy of his affections?

Pulling from a familiar style established by Entourage, How To Make It In America has the potential (and the pretty faces) to make us want to keep watching. But the misadventures of Ben and Cam and their crew have to become interesting enough to make us tune in.

What do you think? Did you watch? Did you set a season pass on your DVR or are you only considering tuning in again next week if something better doesn’t come up?

Watch the pilot:

Over 45,000 people came out this morning for the largest AIDS fundraiser in the world. Aside from addressing the crowd before the walk began, and walking with her group, Hilary Duff was there to talk to reporters to help increase the awareness of the importance of everyone increasing their own education about HIV/AIDS.

I’ve seen this around for a couple of weeks now, but when the team was put together, Hilary’s name wasn’t on it, nor were the graphics associated with it. Once Hilary’s name was there, I thought it was odd that she had no donations raised yet. But now it’s clear that this is something Hilary will be participating in – and you can too!

You can join Hilary Duff’s “Walk with Love” team here or can pledge your support to any of the team members participating.

Aside from the new horn-rimmed glasses, Hilary was sporting one very expensive handbag! Hilary is carrying a black Birkin bag from Hermes, a bag that starts at $7500 and can be as much as 6 figures! The waiting list for a Birkin bag is very long, though usually celebrities can get them a lot faster than most people.

Now that we see the full dress, without the coat she arrived in, I think Hilary made a great fashion choice here! It’s a very classically-cut dress, but Hilary manages to make it look young and fresh. It’s fantastic! In some of the photos, Hilary is posing with designer Donna Karan.
