'Pretty Little Liars' Season 6 Episode 12 Recap: Annnnd, Ezra Might Be a Killer

Posted:


In case you've forgotten, "Pretty Little Liars" is currently "five years in the future" on some weird network called FREEFORM that looks a lot like ABC Family, only with slightly cooler font choices. Things that are different? Radley Sanatorium is now a casual hotel and Ezra is a published author (we'll give you a moment to LOL hysterically). Things that are the same? The police department is terrible, Rosewood is populated by murderers, and the liars are this close to being arrested.

So, why are these ladies trolling around the worst town in America when they could be working like normal adults? Why, because they're prime suspects in the murder of Cece Drake, of course. Keep reading for the low-down.

So, Ezra Might Be a Murderer

Wondering where the liars were on the night Cece Drake was shoved off a bell tower? Turns out Aria left the hotel to visit Ezra's hilarious 5 o'clock shadow, and according to the Radley Hotel/Sanitarium camera feed, they had a casual chat before Ezra wandered off toward the bell tower feeling all kinds of murderous. We know Ezra's a good (if slightly questionable) guy, but it should be noted that Spencer had just told him about a murder that happened almost exactly like Cece's. Lesson learned? Literally never talk to Ezra about murder, or he might accidentally-on-purpose kill someone.

In other Ezra-related drama, Aria has a new bookish boyfriend/co-worker named Liam, who gets assigned Ezra's book when Aria fails to deliver pages. How totally and completely awkward! Also, pretty sure this isn't how publishing works... Unless it's normal for low-level employees to be sent to small town Pennsylvania to harass authors. Anyway, Aria does just that, and catches Ezra living in squalor surrounded by pizza boxes, so yes, you might say he's depressed. Probably because his ex-girlfriend was inexplicably murdered, but who knows.

Please Don't Panic, But Spencer Has a Crush on Her Friend's Ex

Everyone, meet Hanna's hunky boyfriend, Jordan, who is literally nothing like Caleb. This dude has a vague English accent, what appears to be a couple thousand pounds of muscle, and a love for the Hamptons. So yeah, no offense to Caleb "I See Dead People" Rivers, but Hanna traded up.

But don't feel too bad for Caleb, because — and please try not to weep openly — it looks like Spencer might have feelings for him. It's like, what are you trying to do to our emotions, "Pretty Little Liars" writers? Honestly, how much heartbreak and confusion can we take?

Again, Please Don't Panic, But Emily Might Be Dying

Much like everyone else on this show, Emily has a huge secret. Not only is she secretly living in San Diego after flunking out of college, she's been going to doctor's appointments in Rosewood because she has a mysterious illness. Um. What is happening. Is Emily ok? Who knows, but she spends her free-time weeping openly over her father's grave so we're thinking no.

Also, if you're wondering whether or not Sarah Harvey killed Cece, she isn't on the suspect list because of an "inability to use her hands." Ummmm.....k.

Jamie Foxx Rescues Man From Burning Car Crash Outside His Home

Posted:

The Weinstein Company And Netflix Golden Globe Party, Presented With DeLeon Tequila, Laura Mercier, Lindt Chocolate, Marie ClairJamie Foxx is no stranger to starring in action flicks on the big screen, but the Oscar-winning actor proved he was capable of some real life heroics this week when he rescued a man from a burning car near his California home.

According to TMZ, the incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Monday when Foxx heard a car crash into the ditch outside his home. California Highway Patrol officials say that the driver was traveling "at 'a high rate of speed' when his car drove into a drainage ditch in the road, collided with a drainage pipe and concrete, rolled over multiple times and landed on the passenger side engulfed in flames."

TMZ reports that Foxx called 911 and raced outside to assist the driver. The actor told authorities that he and another bystander, fearing the car would explode, worked to free the driver. According to Highway Patrol, Foxx "grabbed a rescue tool from his vehicle, which allowed the witnesses to break the window, cut the seatbelt and get [the driver] out alive."

Fire and medical emergency personnel arrived on scene shortly after the driver, 32-year-old Brett Kyle, was freed, and took him to the hospital with serious injuries (TMZ reports that Kyle suffered from serious burns, though no update on his condition was released). Kyle was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

New 'Suicide Squad' Poster Features the Whole Skwad

Posted:

The entire skwad has assembled in a new poster for "Suicide Squad," which features the gang getting ready for its closeup -- and by the looks of those tense expressions and brandished weapons, ready to leap into action.

The image, which debuted on Yahoo! Movies, at first glance seems to be your standard promotional poster, with a group shot of our titular antiheroes. But when you zoom out from the image, it becomes something both whimsical and sinister, as you can see two large X's forming eyes (Jared Leto's Joker is standing over one of them) and the rest of the crew lined up into the shape of a garish smile.

That gang includes Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), Deadshot (Will Smith), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Slipknot (Adam Beach), and government leader Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). Waller is mixed in with the rest of the squad, a nod perhaps to her murky motivations in sending out these villains to commit crimes on behalf of the U.S. -- and die for the country's secret sins, if necessary.

Check out the full poster, including close-ups of the Joker and Harley Quinn, below. "Suicide Squad" is due in theaters on August 5.

'Fresh Prince' Star Janet Hubert Slams Jada Pinkett Smith Over Oscars Boycott

Posted:

janet hubert, aunt viv, fresh prince, fresh prince of bel-airEveryone seems to be talking about the #OscarsSoWhite backlash, but one actress is speaking out about the controversy for a different reason.

Janet Hubert, who was the original actress to portray Aunt Viv on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alongside Will Smith, took to YouTube on Monday to aim a message at Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Pinkett Smith had publicly announced that she would boycott this year's Academy Awards ceremony in protest of the lack of nominations for any people of color, which happened for the second year in a row. (A situation that caused the Academy to release a rare statement commenting on the controversy.)

But Hubert found hypocrisy in Pinkett Smith's comments, and said so in her video, in which she chastised Pinkett Smith for being her husband's mouthpiece, and accused the actress of boycotting the ceremony simply because Smith didn't receive a nomination for his role in the NFL drama, "Concussion."

"I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living, and has made millions and millions of dollars from the very people that you're talking about, [is] boycotting just because you didn't get a nomination, just because you didn't win," Hubert said. "That is not the way life works, baby."

Hubert also found fault in Pinkett Smith and others (including Spike Lee, who is also boycotting the ceremony) making the Oscars more important than they are, when the African-American community is facing more serious problems. And the actress said that Pinkett Smith's urging of others to boycott the ceremony, when that's something that could hurt the careers of actors who are less famous than Smith and Pinkett Smith, was an audacious request.

"You ain't Barack and Michelle Obama," Hubert said, addressing the couple. "And y'all need to get over yourselves. You have a huge production company that you only produce your friends, your family, and yourself. So you are a part of Hollywood, you are part of the system that is unfair to other actors. So get real."

In addition to airing her Oscars-related grievances, Hubert also called out Smith over their well-publicized feud, which led to Hubert being fired and replaced on "Fresh Prince" in 1993. Hubert claims that she asked Smith to band together with the rest of the "Fresh Prince" cast to renegotiate their salaries, and the actor brushed her off. Now, she says, karma is catching up to him.

"It's not about being bitter, it's about being right," Hubert said toward the end of her video. "You know some of us have got mortgages to pay, we got bills to pay, we have bigger s--t to worry about than the Oscars."

Linda Perry Apologizes for Lady Gaga Oscars Accusation

Posted:

Songwriters Hall Of Fame 46th Annual Induction And Awards - BackstageLess than 24 hours after she accused Lady Gaga of not genuinely earning an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, musician Linda Perry has apologized for her remarks.

Perry, who caused a Twitter firestorm early Monday morning with her insistence that Gaga had little to no hand in writing the song, "Til It Happens to You," later deleted the string of tweets (which you can still read in our original story) that claimed that co-writer Diane Warren was the sole songwriter, and perhaps gave Gaga a co-writing credit to get the tune more attention -- and an Oscar nomination. But Perry was widely criticized on the social media site, and by late Monday had taken down her posts, and replaced them with an apology.

"I made a mistake to comment," Perry tweeted. "I wasn't in the room when the [song] was being written."

She went on to say that she wanted "the focus to remain on the great importance of the song and the message of the film." "Til It Happens to You" was featured in the documentary "The Hunting Ground," which explores rampant sexual assault on college campuses.

Warren had denied and denounced Perry's remarks in a series of posts on Twitter on Monday, which Gaga retweeted in solidarity. Neither woman provided further comment after Perry posted her apology.

Perry herself had submitted a song for Oscar consideration ("Hands of Love" from the film "Freeheld"), which failed to garner a nomination.

Sorority Girls Go Wild in 'Neighbors 2' Trailer

Posted:

Neighbors 2Only thing worse than living next to a frat house? Living next to a sorority house.

That's the lesson Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne learn in "Neighbors 2," the follow-up to the 2014 hit comedy. A bunch of boozing, drugging, hard-partying girls, led by Chloe Grace Moretz, moves in next door to Rogen and Byrne, and just like in the first movie, the couple declares war on the Greeks. This time, though, they call on their former frat boy enemy (Zac Efron) to get these girls out so they can sell their house and move to the suburbs.
"Neighbors 2" is certainly not going for Most Inventive Sequel Ever; the plot looks nearly identical to the original. Even some of the slapstick is recycled. But the first one was pretty funny, and Rogen's physical comedy never gets old.

"Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" opens in theaters May 20.

'The Choice' Exclusive Clip: Gabby Has Ladies Man Travis All Figured Out

Posted:

'The Choice' Exclusive Clip - About Travis
Ladies, "a man with one chair likes to sit alone." Take it from Gabby Holland (Teresa Palmer), the feisty medical student at the center of "The Choice," the latest cinematic adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, which hits theaters February 5.

In this exclusive clip -- set as so many swoon-worthy Sparks stories are, in the beautifully lush American South -- Gabby goes for a walk with Stephanie (Maggie Grace), one of her new neighbors, who happens to be the sister of hunky ladies man Travis (Benjamin Walker). Gabby just met the guy, but she already has him all figured out, based in part on that one chair he has at the front of his house.

The clip is all light summer flirtation, but the love story itself is more complicated and spans a decade of events. When they first meet in this coastal town, Gabby already has a boyfriend, and Travis (as Gabby quickly assessed) tends to cut and run whenever a relationship starts getting serious. But they have that undeniable spark that leads them to take the leap. However, since this is a Sparks novel adaptation, you know the romance will come with heartbreak and tears. The movie is called "The Choice" for a reason, and it's not just the choice of whether these hot young thangs should be together or not.

"The Choice" will be released February 5, 2016. Don't forget to check out the full trailer.Nicholas Sparks's The ChoiceWant more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

Academy President Promises to Diversify Oscar Membership

Posted:

US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM-OSCAR-NOMINATIONSCheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, took to Twitter to address the controversy over the lack of diversity among this year's Oscar nominees.

None of 20 acting nominees are people of color for the second year in a row. The smash hit "Straight Outta Compton" was snubbed, though it had received precursor nominations from the Screen Actors Guild, the Producers Guild, and the Writers Guild. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite has been trending on Twitter, and director Spike Lee and actress Jada Pinkett Smith have vowed to boycott the ceremony.

"I am both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion. This is a difficult but important conversation, and it's time for big changes," Boone wrote in a release on Twitter.
Boone added that the Academy hopes to diversify its membership by expanding their recruitment efforts even further.

"We have implemented changes to diversify our membership in the last four years. But the change is not coming as fast as we would like."
