by Staff; Photo by Michael Muller | 01.28.2009

In a recent interview with FILTER, Morrissey talked about his music, his life, the new record (Years of Refusal, February 17), and as you will find below, his much-anticipated memoir. Here’s the nugget:

And what about the memoir you're reportedly writing? How does that figure into life's unwieldiness?

Morrissey: If you're 99-and-a-half years old, you can't be sure of what happens next. Certainly, there just seems to be a natural point when it's time to speak. Here is mine.

Years of Refusal - MCV

YEARS OF REFUSAL—MORRISSEY [ATTACK/LOST HIGHWAY] 4.5/5

Could it be that Steven Patrick Morrissey, he of the great, the late, The Smiths, is back on top of his game? That’s what the critics are saying, tagging Morrissey’s Years of Refusal as the first big comeback on 2009. And that’s putting it lightly as the man is on fire, scorching up the lyric pad with his unique homespun philosophy, whilst using the energy of rhythm and rock to bolster the arrangements.

Turning 50 this year has not hampered this man’s creativity or relevance to a modern audience, and becoming a father (yep, that’s his baby on the sleeve) has brought him rejuvenated hope, even if it is guardedly so (check out ‘It’s Not Your Birthday Anymore’, ‘You Were Good in Your Time’ and ‘I’m OK By Myself’). Morrissey now has someone to live for and he’s embracing it like a new dad should.

Writers slip into 'Coma'

Marco Schnabel, Larry Stuckey to pen comedy
By Steven Zeitchik

Jan 28, 2009, 12:00 AM ET
"The Love Guru" director Marco Schnabel and "Little Fockers" writer Larry Stuckey are finding a girlfriend.

The pair are teaming to write "Girlfriend in a Coma," a satirical high school comedy that looks at an unlikely romance, with the pitch set up at Fox Atomic. Michael McCullers and 3 Arts will produce the project. McCullers wrote and directed the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler hit "Baby Mama" for Universal.

Schnabel and Stuckey met and honed their chops under comedy veteran Jay Roach. Schnabel was a second-unit director on Roach's "Meet the Fockers," and Stuckey was an associate producer on the 2004 film.

Fox Atomic is set to release youth-themed comedies including "The Post Grad Survival Guide" and "Miss March."

Schnabel is repped by WMA and 3 Arts; Stuckey by ICM; and McCullers by Endeavor and 3 Arts.
