HBO's 'Vinyl' Trailer Has Sex, Drugs, and Lots of Rock 'n' Roll

Posted:

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger (R)Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese are ready to make some sweet, sweet music together in their upcoming drama, "Vinyl."

HBO released a trailer for the '70s-era show, which debuts sometime in 2016. And it's as wild, crazy, and over-the-top as you'd expect from a collaboration between these two. Bobby Cannavale stars as Richie, a record executive who's trying to save his label as the music industry is going through change. Olivia Wilde plays his actress wife, and Ray Romano is his business partner.
"Vinyl" looks terrific, with lots of great '70s costumes, Cannavale snorting a ton of coke, rockers screaming on stage, audiences dancing in grimy clubs, gunfire and beatings (this is Scorsese, after all), and of course, a little guitar-smashing.

With Scorsese's imprint, and Jagger's influence, plus a pilot script by "Boardwalk Empire" creator Terrence Winter, you had us at the opening riff.

John Stamos Really Did Try to Get the Olsen Twins Fired From 'Full House'

Posted:

Full HouseHow rude! Turns out John Stamos really did try to get Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fired from "Full House" back in the day.

Lifetime's "Unauthorized Full House Story" contains a scene depicting Stamos (played by Justin Gaston) complaining about how the young Olsen twins can't crying. At a TCA panel today for his new Fox comedy "Grandfathered," the actor confessed that it's all true.

"The Olsen twins cried a lot. It was very difficult to get the shot. So that actually is 100 percent accurate," he told reporters. "I said, 'Get those kids ...' [gestures to get rid of them] and they brought in a couple of unattractive red-headed kids. We tried that for a while and that didn't work. I said, 'Alright, get the Olsen twins back.' That's the story."

Funnily enough, Stamos is working with another pair of twin girls, who play his granddaughter on "Grandfathered."

He joked, "I whisper in their ears that I made other twins a lot of money!"

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Are Married

Posted:

87th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsJennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got married in a secret, surprise wedding last night in their Bel-Air home's backyard.

People reported that over 70 family members and friends watched the couple tie the knot. Guests - including Lisa Kudrow, Ellen DeGeneres, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, and Jason Bateman - were told that it was a surprise 44th birthday party for Theroux. TMZ has photos of the backyard, which was set up with candlelit tables and cushioned chairs, as well as a possible wedding cake topped with two Muppets.

The former "Friends" star and current "Leftovers" actor first met on the set of "Tropic Thunder" in 2008, but did not get romantically involved until several years later when both starred in "Wanderlust." They got engaged in 2012.

This is Theroux's first marriage; Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt.

Congrats Jen and Justin!

Brangelina Aren't Having the Perfect Day in 'By the Sea' Trailer

Posted:

By the SeaIf you take Mr. and Mrs. Smith, make them super depressed, and whisk them off to a gorgeous vacation in the south of France, you've got "By the Sea."

The movie marks the first on-screen collaboration for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt since "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" 10 years ago. Since then, of course, they had a bunch of kids and got married and basically became the most famous celebrity couple in the world. They've acted in many movies, separately, and Jolie has directed a couple (including last year's "Unbroken"). Now, finally, they reunite for "By the Sea," which Jolie also helmed.

The first trailer is a mood-setting, meditative bit - there are tears from Jolie, anger from Pitt, some face-slapping, and walks along stunning shorelines.
Watch the trailer.

It does not explain the characters or why they are so melancholy. Here is what we know: Jolie and Pitt play Vanessa and Roland, whose marriage is falling apart. She's a former dancer, he's a writer.

"It focuses on three couples, all at different stages in their lives," Jolie told People. "And at its center are the questions of what happened to Roland and Vanessa and why they are in the place they are now."

Directing her husband in such a tense romantic drama - on their honeymoon, no less - wasn't a piece of cake. "I'd be directing myself and him in a scene where we're having a fight, and I'd be pulling out the parts [of him] that have an aggression toward me or when you're frustrated with each other," she told the Directors Guild of America. "It was very heavy."

"By the Sea" opens November 13.

'The Daily Show' Correspondents: Where Are They Now?

Posted:


Sure, you're going to miss Jon Stewart after his 16-year tenure at "The Daily Show" ends this week, but remember, he didn't do it alone. Not only did he have that Emmy-winning staff of writers, researchers, and video archivists, but he also had an army of correspondents and contributors, comics whose job has been to mock other TV journalists' pretensions to authority, expertise, and objectivity. Not for nothing, did they call themselves "The Best F#@king News Team Ever."

Some of them (particularly Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert) have gone on to become just as famous as Stewart, if not more so. Others, maybe not so much. Still, the current and former fake newscasters have given "The Daily Show" a reputation on a par with only "Saturday Night Live" as a showcase for future comedy stars. Here's what's become of some of the funniest "Daily Show" players who've bantered with Stewart.

It's Official! 'Prison Break' Sequel Is Happening With Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell

Posted:

Prison BreakA "Prison Break" sequel event series is officially in the works!

Rumors have been floating around that Fox wanted to bring the drama, which ran from 2005-2009, back. And today, at TCA, Fox chairman and CEO Gary Newman confirmed the news and announced that stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are on board. The event series - modeled after Fox's successful "24: Live Another Day" - will run for 10 episodes.

"I would describe it as a bit of a sequel. It picks up the characters several years after we left them in the last season of the show," said co-chairman and CEO Dana Walden. "The brothers will be back. Some of the iconic characters from that show will be back. I don't think [executive producer producer] Paul [Scheuring] knows exactly where he's going over the 10-episode arc, but it definitely will address some questions that were set up at the end of the series for a new audience."

One question is how Miller's Michael is back - since he, you know, died in the wrap-up movie "Prison Break: The Final Break." Looks like that might end up getting ignored.

As Newman explained, "What [Scheuring] pitched to us was a very logical and believable - in the world of 'Prison Break' - explanation for why our characters are alive and still moving around the world."

The "Prison Break" event series will air sometime in 2016, and if you want to see Miller and Purcell team up again, this time as supervillains, they're both starring in The CW's "Legends of Tomorrow."

Vin Diesel Isn't Afraid of Anything in 'The Last Witch Hunter' Trailer

Posted:

Last Witch HunterWho do you call when a horde of powerful, evil witches wants to destroy the world? "The Last Witch Hunter."

In the first full trailer for the action-fantasy movie, Vin Diesel plays Kaulder, the titular character tasked with saving the world. There's nothing he's afraid of, because he's immortal. That's been a blessing and a curse, which we can see from sad flashbacks to Kaulder's wife and child some 800 years ago.

"He is the most hardened and deadliest soldier due to his immortality," Diesel told Entertainment Weekly. "We assume the immortality is a gift, but we learn from understanding his world that there is a certain pain that he has been harboring for so long and there's a certain isolation that the character's had to live with."

That isolation doesn't persist for long. Helping Kaulder in his quest are the wise Father Dolan (Michael Caine); his young protege priest (Elijah Wood); and good witch Chloe (Rose Leslie), whose dreamwalking abilities might be the key to victory.

"The Last Witch Hunter" opens October 23.

Posted:


Does it get better than a couple who starts off as friends, slowly falls in love, and then lives happily ever after (hopefully)?

Listen to Chris Farley as Original Shrek in Lost Recording

Posted:

Chris FarleyThe lights went out too soon for funny and talented comedian Chris Farley, and we can only imagine what might've come out of his career had he not tragically died of a drug overdose in 1997. But now, we can hear what Farley would've sounded like in the animated hit "Shrek."

Farley was originally supposed to voice the green monster, and he recorded about 90 percent of the dialogue before his untimely demise in 1997. A Reddit user posted this recording of Farley and Eddie Murphy, which plays over some sketches of Shrek and Donkey's antics.

"Originally the Shrek character was a little bit more like Chris, like a humble, bumbling innocent guy," Kevin Farley told Yahoo Movies. He recently produced a documentary about his brother's life, titled "I Am Chris Farley."

After Farley's death, the movie replaced him with his "Saturday Night Live" co-star Mike Myers, who gave the character his now distinctive Scottish brogue. Now, for the first time, we can hear what Farley would've done with the role.

"I Am Chris Farley" is now in theaters and airs on Spike on Aug. 10.

11 Movie Reboots, Ranked From Worst to Best

Posted:


The only thing Hollywood loves more than a sequel, or remake, is a reboot.

Blame Christopher Nolan, who kicked off the trend -- and helped coin the term -- with his 2005 success, "Batman Begins." Gone were the nipple-suited adventures of The Dark Knight, in favor of a very grounded, very gritty, take -- driven by character-first stakes over whatever the hell was going on with "Batman & Robin."

Batman beget Bond soon jumping on the reboot train, with other franchises heroes quickly following suit. With the new "Fantastic Four" movie giving Marvel's first family a mulligan, here are 11 more reboots, ranked from worst to best.

Best of Late Night TV: Ice Cube's N.W.A Meanings and Michael B. Jordan's 'Friday Night Lights' Flashback

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.

Ice Cube visited "The Tonight Show" to chat about "Straight Outta Compton," and while he couldn't say what N.W.A stands for, he did reveal what it doesn't stand for. Nine White Accountants, for example. Or, even more hilarious, Nickleback Was Awesome.


Meryl Streep and her daughter, Mamie Gummer, worked together on "Ricki and the Flash," but apparently Streep totally ignored her kid on set. Look, she didn't win all those awards by being nice.


Over on "Late Night," Jason Segel mused on what it was like to costar in a movie with dogs. Apparently, he had to "stuff his pants with salmon" to get the pups to be interested in him, which sounds completely horrifying.


Remember when your entire life revolved around "Friday Night Lights"? Well, Michael B. Jordan is in "The Fantastic Four," which means we finally have a reason to get up in the morning. And speaking of reasons to wake up, watch this interview of him talking about his time at Dillon High School.
