| Recap of Pretty Little Liars Season 6 Episode 5: Maddie Ziegler, Is That You?! Posted: Lots of things happened during this week's "Pretty Little Liars," but the most important moment was definitely Spencer having a dream about Zombie Maddie Ziegler dancing around an asylum. Clearly she's been watching way too many Sia music videos / eating way too many pot brownies. Read the recap to find out more must-know moments from the episode -- including A's surprising gender! Mona's Back In Town, Is Kinda-Sorta Evil Again Good news everyone: Mona Vanderwall is back in Rosewood after taking some time to "do her" following #ThatMomentWhen she get locked in a cell by the town's resident stalker. As expected, FKA A (that's Formerly Known As A, for all you people who have forgotten that Mona was, in fact, A) is a fragile mess, but there's more to this story than meets the eye. Turns out Mona's working for her friend, Lesli Stone, who the liars find out was at Bradley Sanitarium at the same time as Charles DiLaurentis. You know what that means: she might be A. Much like everyone else on this show. Also, if you're wondering how Hanna and Caleb are doing in their relationship, they aren't having sex -- at least that's the impression we got from ABC Family's coded PG language. Sob, if these two break up hot off the heels of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's split, love will truly be dead. Emily Gets A Tattoo, Everyone Side-Eyes Not to hate on Sara, but we still think she's hiding something. That being said, she and Emily got super chummy this week: not only did Em help Sara ditch her mom for good (she's legally emancipated!), they get friendship tattoos (NOPE), and Emily tells her new BFF all about A. But more on these two later, it's time to talk about #Alenzo. Remember when we predicted that Alison was going to start dating Lorenzo, the newest underage member of Rosewood's police force? Well that's totally happening. Alison decides to lean on Lorenzo out of sheer boredom, and after agreeing to teach a soccer camp with him (yeah, that seems like an awesome idea), they make out. It would have been cute if Ali's dad wasn't watching. Shudder. Spencer's Living That Pot Brownie Life, Maddie Ziegler Might Be A Stop everything: Spencer is still addicted to pot brownies. Unfortunately, "the herb" (that's what cool people call it, right?) is making her super intense -- so much so that Hanna thinks she's addicted to sex. (edit note: AHAAHAHAHAH) The good news is that Spencer joins a support group, where she meets up with her old sober coach, Dean. Watch out, Toby, you're about to be replaced. In other news, Aria's new photo crush is still around, and this week they visit a junkyard for #inspiration. However, A tags along as a creepy third wheel, giving Aria a chance to do a little investigating. Turns out Clarke even snaps a pic of our favorite hoodie-clad killer, and when Aria checks out his negatives she realizes that A is -- wait for it -- a girl. Maddie Ziegler, is that you? Burning Questions 1. Is Ezra still on this show? Was he written off because the writers finally realized he's way too old for Aria? 2. What's the deal with Maddie Ziegler -- is she going to be a real character, or simply a figment of Spencer's imagination? 3. Will Spencer break things off with Toby for her sober coach? 4. Is Lesli A? Because she doesn't look tall enough.... This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Cage of Thrones: Nicolas Cage as Every 'Game of Thrones' Character Posted: The latest in things we didn't know we needed is Nicolas Cage's face superimposed on all the characters from "Game of Thrones." Honestly, we're currently questioning why he wasn't originally cast as Stannis Baratheon. All of these are thanks to the hustle of one very clever Redditor, CarlosDanger100.

| 25 Fictional Strippers of TV and Film, Ranked From Worst to Best Posted: Get out those dollar dollar bills, y'all. It's time to look back at some strippers -- ahem, exotic dancers -- from cinematic and small screen history. Actors and actresses have been takin' it all off for the sake of their art for decades now, but which ones deserve the cash in their g-strings? Based on very unscientific criteria such as hip-shakability, pole dexterity, energy, and charisma, we've ranked 25 fictional strippers of TV and film. Go ahead and check 'em out.

| Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Are Getting Divorced Posted:  Rumors have swirled about the state of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's marriage for years, and now, sadly, the couple is officially calling it quits.People reports that Affleck and Garner are getting divorced, following 10 years of marriage. They celebrated their anniversary on June 29. In a joint statement to People, the couple said, "After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding." According to TMZ, the official filing of divorce papers is still a ways off. The couple are still working out custody terms -- they're seeking joint custody of their three children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3 -- and division of property, though the talks are reportedly "amicable." Persistent rumors of an unhappy union have dogged the pair over the past few years (remember Affleck's infamous "Argo" acceptance speech in 2013?), and according to a recent report from Us Weekly, the split was a long time coming. Still, it's sad to see a longtime couple break up, especially when there are kids involved. This was the first marriage for Affleck. Garner had previously wed actor Scott Foley; the pair divorced in 2003 after three years of marriage.

| All the 'Harry Potter' Movies, Ranked From Worst to Best Posted:  Our lives changed the moment we heard "Yer a wizard, Harry." Even though we love every movie from the series, we can't deny that some are better than others. Here is a ranking of all eight "Harry Potter" movies, from worst to best.

| 'Magic Mike' Gets Stripped Down to Nothing in This Honest Trailer Posted:  The trailer for "Magic Mike" promised a party and a lot of men in thongs, and though it delivered the thong quota, the party feeling wasn't quite there. Unless the parties you go to always start off fun and then end in depression. But do we love it any less? No, because there are still plenty of shirtless men to keep our attention.This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Does Anyone Want a 'White Chicks' Sequel? Marlon Wayans May Make It Happen Posted:
It turns out that "White Chicks" fans are pretty passionate about the film, and soon, the Instagram post amassed over 400,000 likes (and an additional 700,000 -- and counting -- on Facebook), proving that, apparently, demand is indeed high for another round. But just how likely is it that this film will get made? According to HuffPost Entertainment, there have been plenty of starts and stops to a potential sequel over the years, with the closest call coming way back in 2009. And just last year, Wayans said that a dip in international interest in comedies has given studios pause when it comes to greenlighting such fare, especially since the original flick came out more than 10 years ago. We'll have to wait and see if Wayans was serious about actually making "White Chicks 2" a reality (HuffPost reached out to Wayans and his brothers for comment). Stay tuned -- and keep your Vanessa Carlton sing-a-long ready -- until then. [via: Marlon Wayans, h/t HuffPost Entertainment] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Alex Trebek Rapped the 'Fresh Prince' Theme on 'Jeopardy!' Posted: Trebek wasn't just freestyling, though -- the verse he spat came about thanks to a category about TV shows. The clue invited contestants to guess which show's theme song contained the lyrics, "I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, 'Yo, homes, smell ya later!'" Naturally, Trebek couldn't pass up an opportunity to show off his flow, and did a rendition of the verse that would have made Will Smith proud. You can tell the contestants got a kick out of it, too, as they can be seen smirking once the host finishes reading/rapping the clue. Check out Trebek in all his glory below. If this whole "Jeopardy!" thing doesn't work out, we think he may have a career in slam poetry ahead of him.

| Chris Pratt Doing His Best Jason Statham Will Make Your Day Posted: Is there anything Chris Pratt can't do? In a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that was cut for time, the once and future Jonathan Karate takes on his most British role yet -- Jason Statham, selling "Jason Steakums." Try saying that three times fast. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Sorry, a 'Back to the Future' Remake Isn't Going to Happen Posted:  With "Back to the Future" celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the recent success of various reboots and sequels to '80s and '90s films, it's natural to ponder the possibility of a remake of the 1985 classic.To that, director Robert Zemeckis says: Over my dead body! In an interview with the U.K. Telegraph, Zemeckis was very clear about the prospects of another "Back to the Future" film. "Oh, God no. That can't happen until both Bob [Gale] and I are dead," he said. "And then I'm sure they'll do it, unless there's a way our estates can stop it." Zemeckis and Gale wrote "Back to the Future" together, and the former directed it. Their contracts on the film give them veto rights over any related films for as long as they both live. That's not the case on another Zemeckis-directed movie, "Romancing the Stone," a remake of which has been in the works for several years. But he was just a gun for hire on that movie and has "no power over that." The director, though, is clearly not a fan of remaking movies. "I mean, to me, that's outrageous. Especially since it's a good movie. It's like saying 'Let's remake Citizen Kane. Who are we going to get to play Kane?' What folly, what insanity is that? Why would anyone do that?" Don't put ideas into Hollywood's head, Bob. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'BoJack Horseman' Season 2 Trailer Celebrates More Regrettable Life Choices Posted:  Hurray! And with no question mark whatsoever for the return of the apparently "hard to describe" comedy "BoJack Horseman."Netflix debuted the trailer for the second season of its original show, and it's as wonderfully biting, snarky, booze-filled, and dark as ever. BoJack (Will Arnett) is still a washed-up alcoholic actor who keeps making a "series of regrettable life choices." This season, he's got a new love interest in a pretty owl named Wanda Pierce (Lisa Kudrow), and a real job starring as Secretariat in a movie. It's hard to imagine BoJack not screwing up either. Judging by the trailer, the second season will be more of the same darkly funny stuff as last season - already we've got BoJack grousing over cantaloupe, screaming to "get alcohol into my mouth," and running over a deer with his car. Watch the trailer now. All 12 episodes of "BoJack Horseman" season 2 will be available to stream on Netflix July 17. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Paul Rudd Faces a Trial By Water in This Cool 'Ant-Man' Clip Posted:  Bigger isn't always better, but in the case of a bathtub full of water, being the size of an ant is a terrifying prospect.Marvel released a clip from the upcoming "Ant-Man," and it's a really cool look at what happens when thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) puts on the suit he stole from Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). Standing in the bathtub, he activates the suit - and instantly transforms into the size of an ant! As Scott tries to get his bearings, Pym speaks into his helmet. "The world sure seems different from down here, Scott." Oh, yes, especially when Scott's friend turns on the faucet, unleashing a tidal wave of water! This isn't a trial by fire; it's a trial by water! As the first real look at Rudd using the suit, the clip gives us a very tantalizing glimpse at what could potentially be an awesome movie. Watch the clip here. "Ant-Man" opens in theaters July 17. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

The patch and title all add to the rumors about "Star Trek 3" - that the Starship Enterprise will finally move away from Earth and into deep space.The first two films, 2009's "Star Trek" and 2013's "Star Trek Into Darkness," were predominantly set on or near Earth. Now, "Star Trek Beyond" looks to take Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), and crew on the famous five-year mission referenced in the original television series. "Star Trek Beyond" is set to open in theaters July 8, 2016. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Paul Feig Shares First Look at 'Ghostbusters' Proton Pack Posted:  A ghostbuster needs something to bust ghosts with, right? That's where the all-important proton pack comes in, and director Paul Feig shared a first look photo at the essential tool in his "Ghostbusters" reboot.A day after unveiling the uniforms that Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones will wear, Feig posted an image of the proton pack to Twitter: Like the uniforms, the pack is very similar to the original, with a few little updates. It looks dirty and worn, which indicates heavy use -- ghostbusting is not a dainty business!In the reboot, Wiig and McCarthy are authors who write a book claiming ghosts are real. They're laughed out of academia, until ghosts actually do invade Manhattan. So, who's the world gonna call? The two women, who team up with McKinnon and Jones to save the world. "Ghostbusters" hits theaters July 22, 2016. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Apollo 13' 20th Anniversary: 20 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About the Tom Hanks Classic Posted:  Not all Hollywood blockbusters are about rampaging dinosaurs, time-traveling cyborgs or spandex-clad heroes.Some big-budget movies get by just fine focusing on real-life moments of danger and drama. "Apollo 13" is one of those films. Released 20 years ago today on June 30, 1995, here are 20 things you need to know about how director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks worked to deliver one of the best space movies in the history of always. 1. It may be one of the most iconic lines in movie history, but "Houston, we have a problem" isn't exactly what was said during the mission. Jim Lovell actually said, "Houston, we've had a problem." The edit was made for the film because "we've had" implies that the problem is over. 2. On that note, Jim Lovell wasn't the only astronaut to speak that famous line. Jack Swigert first radioed in with "Okay, Houston -- we've had a problem here." But because the transmission was partially garbled, Lovell's recording is the one most often replayed and remembered. 3. The filming of "Apollo 13" was made more complex by the fact that director Ron Howard elected not to use any pre-existing footage of the real Apollo 13 mission. 4. Brad Pitt was supposedly offered the role of Jim Lovell, but turned it down for the starring role in David Fincher's "Seven." 5. John Travolta also turned down the lead role before it was ultimately given to Tom Hanks.  6. "Apollo 13" reunited "Forrest Gump" co-stars Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise. Weirdly enough, one scene between Hanks' Gump and Sinise's Lieutenant Dan involved the latter promising that he would become an astronaut if Gump became a shrimp boat captain. Sarcastic or not, at least he made good on his promise.7. The cast and crew spent 13 days flying aboard NASA's KC-135 airplane in order to achieve the zero gravity effect needed for filming, also known as the "Vomit Comet." The Zero-G effect lasted a mere 23 seconds at a time. 8.The command module for the Apollo 13 craft was named Odyssey, in honor of the film "2001: A Space Odyssey." 9. Because of his role in the film, Hanks had an asteroid named after him in 1996. It's called "12818 Tomhanks (1996 GU8)." 10. The real Jim Lovell played the navy captain in the film responsible for rescuing the Apollo crew at sea. Lovell even wore his old captain's uniform for the scene.  11. This film was one of two times Ed Harris played a character tasked with guiding astronauts back to Earth after a mechanical disaster. He provided the voice of Houston Mission Control in "Gravity."12. The film's plot and its emphasis on astronauts using random spare parts to perform vital repairs lead in part to inspiring the reality series "Junkyard Wars." 13. Because of their altered flight trajectory, the Apollo 13 crew members are believed to have traveled further from Earth than any humans in history. Decades later, that record still stands. 14. For the scene in which Bill Paxton's character Fred Haise throws up, the crew used a can of Beef-a-Roni stew to simulate vomit. After losing a bet with Hanks, Paxton wound up eating the leftover stew.  15. Ron Howard's brother, Clint (pictured above), played a significant role in the film as flight controller Seymour Liebergot.16. Several other of Howard's family members had cameo roles in the film, including his father (a priest), mother (Jim Lovell's mother) and his wife and daughter (crowd members). 17. Ron Howard said that someone attending a test screening gave a negative review of the film, claiming that if the story had happened in real life, the astronauts "would never have survived." 18. The movie features a scene where Paxton's character plays the song "Spirit In the Sky" while Lovell laments that it should have been the theme music from "2001" (Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra"). Ironically, that iconic piece of classical music was played during the actual Apollo 13 mission. 19. Hanks, Paxton and Kevin Bacon all underwent rigorous training at the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Part of that training involved learning the function of each of the 500 buttons and switches in the spacecraft.  20. While the line "Failure is not an option" was spoken by Ed Harris in the film, it was never actually spoken by anyone during the Apollo 13 mission.

| 11 Times Janis Ian Was the Best Part of 'Mean Girls' Posted: How could you not love Janis Ian? Lizzy Caplan's "Mean Girls" character may not have worn pink on Wednesdays, but she did utter some of the most quotable lines ever. Regina George life-sabotage aside, she is a kick-ass pal (do your friends make prize-winning paintings for you?) and a fun purple tuxedo-wearing chick any highschooler would be lucky to know. Kevin Gnapoor would agree -- Janis Ian was one the best parts of "Mean Girls." Here are 11 moments that prove it.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Posted:  If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Conan" are the only late night talk shows to air new episodes this week -- besides Jon Stewart's countdown to the end of his run on "The Daily Show." Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and James Corden are all on repeats. But never fear, 'cause the Khaleesi is here to entertain us! British actress Emilia Clarke -- aka Sarah Connor in the new "Terminator Genisys" and Queen Dany Targaryen on "Game of Thrones" -- was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Monday night, and discussed shooting the new "Terminator" movie in New Orleans. Apparently the house she was staying at -- rented from her GoT co-star Michiel Huisman (Daario) -- was haunted and also too hot. So she went with co-star Jai Courtney to a Home Depot at 3 a.m. (are they even open at 3 a.m.?) to get an air conditioner. But she wanted to go incognito, so she broke out her American accent. She does an amazing Valley Girl accent -- she calls it Cali from the Valley. It's great to hear her talk about Jai almost buying her a $700 air conditioner unit in that accent. Where did she learn it? "I, like, love 'Clueless.'" Awesome. Emilia is perfection in every way. But you know somewhere Alicia Silverstone is giving her AS IF to this.  Here are two "Game of Thrones" nerds in the audience fighting shirtless for the Khaleesi's honor. They do their little staged event right after Jimmy and Emilia illustrate through photos how she works with dragons on the show (big green sticks). Would've liked to hear more about that and less from these guys, but it's cute: You have to watch this great fake "Terminator Genisys" trailer with drunk robots: It was a great night of different voices, and here's Vanessa Bayer showing off her excellent Rachel from "Friends" impression. Close your eyes, and it's Rach! Jimmy had some fun with the drama on last night's "The Bachelorette," including Cupcake sobbing into his man scarf. He decided to dream cast a movie version of Kaitlyn's season, in case they ever make one, with Megan Fox as Kaitlyn, Ryan Gosling as Shawn, and Woody from Toy Story as JJ. Jimmy's team went to the streets to ask kids if they know what "gay marriage" means and he got some great -- intelligent and just telling -- responses: Miguel was the musical guest on JKL and one of his singles is "Coffee" -- so Jimmy sent Miguel down the street to serenade a stranger at a coffee shop. She had no idea what was going on. Since Jimmy basically dominated the entire night, here's his dig at Chris Christie by sharing his first presidential campaign ad: Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks was on "Conan," and Conan O'Brien decided to combine his love for Skittles and jumping backward into the end zone by having Marshawn dive into an end zone of Skittles. It's beautiful. Conan couldn't resist jumping in himself. We should all get to do this! Evangeline Lilly was on "Conan" to start promoting "Ant-Man" and Conan asked if Paul Rudd's abs in the movie were real or CGI. Evangeline asked the audience to weigh in, but she said Paul's abs were 100 percent real. She's pregnant with her second child right now -- about seven months -- and discussed her 30-hour home birth for her first child, who was literally born in thunder. He's like Daenerys of "Game of Thrones" -- Stormborn! Conan also had some fun coming up with ads to show how corporations are embracing the #LoveWins message: Want more stuff like this?
