• How did TV handle President Barack Obama's announcement that he supports same-sex marriage? Consider, says Ken Tucker, that TV prodded the moment (thanks to Joe Biden on "Meet the Press") and showcased it (on "Good Morning America"). [Entertainment Weekly]
• Roman Polanski will direct "D," a drama about the Dreyfus Affair, the infamous 1890s case in which a French army officer was wrongly convicted of being a spy. [The Hollywood Reporter]
• Pioneering hairdresser Vidal Sassoon, who introduced the geometric cut and "wash and wear" style to the swinging '60s and built a business empire of salons and hair-care products, died Wednesday. He was 84. [AP, via The Salt Lake Tribune]
