Jon Snow Stars in First 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Teaser

Posted:

Like the first promo poster for the upcoming sixth season of "Game of Thrones," the first teaser of the new season is extremely Jon Snow-centric, stirring up hope in fans that the dearly-departed protagonist is due for a resurrection after his untimely end in season five.

The brief clip features narration from Three-Eyed Raven (new cast member Max Von Sydow), who declares, "The past is already written. The ink is already dry," over imagery of Snow, who we see die all over again, his dead-eyed gaze staring up at us from a pool of his own blood.

But as has been widely hinted at by various members of the cast and crew (not to mention that poster), Jon Snow may not be definitively dead yet, a notion that's confirmed by his half-brother, Bran Stark, in another bit of narration at the teaser's end.

"They have no idea what's going to happen," Bran says ominously, easily applying that same logic to fans of the show.

Indeed. And we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out.

Season six of "Game of Thrones" is due to debut on HBO sometime in April 2016.

'Sisters' Is Basically 'Star Wars,' According to Amy and Tina

Posted:

sisters, sisters movie, tina fey, amy poehler, star warsDecember 18, the day film fans have been waiting for, is almost upon us, and you know what that means: The release of "Sisters"! Oh, you thought we were talking about "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"? Well, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are here to explain that those two films are basically the same, and in case you didn't know, you can totally see both movies on opening weekend instead of choosing between them.

In a new featurette, the "Sisters" cast recounts the flick's long, revered history, which sounds eerily similar to that of the "Star Wars" saga. There's a CGI breakdown of Ike Barinholtz's awkward run-in with a music box, Maya Rudolph draped in some motion-capture dots (which look suspiciously like a strand of Christmas lights), and references to the flick's lauded director, J.J.-son (a.k.a. "Pitch Perfect" helmer Jason Moore. What, were you expecting a different J.J.?). And Amy and Tina themselves describe the film's importance using fake British accents, adding an air of regalness to the proceedings (and, okay, to cover up their drunkenness).

"It lit-rally could not be more exciting," Fey declares in an uppercrust voice.

"This film means so much to so many people," Poehler adds in a similar deadpan drawl.

We couldn't agree more. "Sisters" opens on December 18, and yes, that's the same day as "Star Wars." But as the hashtag says: #youcanseethemboth. We're planning on it.

Woody's Back! Watch Tom Hanks Head to Work on 'Toy Story 4'

Posted:

"Toy Story 4" isn't coming out until 2018, but it can't happen without Tom Hanks voicing Woody, so it's a good thing he's ready to go to infinity and beyond all over again.

Back on November 24, "Hanx" tweeted that it was his final day shooting the movie "Sully" about pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. Now he's working on "Toy Story 4," as he updated fans on December 2, tweeting out a video showing his progress on the way to the studio:


It'd be kind of awesome if the plot to "Toy Story 4" followed Woody, Buzz, and friends in the backseat of Tom's car as he drove to the studio. But that might be too meta.

It has been revealed that the fourth "Toy Story" movie will feature Woody's love story with Bo Peep. "I love Bo Peep," director John Lasseter told the crowd at Disney's D23 Expo in August. "And we never got to know her backstory. She wasn't in Toy Story 3 at all, so it really set us up nicely for her to come back. It's a very special story."

"Toy Story 4" currently has a release date of June 15th, 2018.

Who'll Win 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 22, the Final Season? (Nyle, Right?)

Posted:

You wanna be on top ... for the last time? Better tune in to "America's Next Top Model" tomorrow (Friday, December 4) at 9 p.m. on The CW for the Cycle 22 Finale Part 2.

This is not just the final episode of the season/cycle, it's the final one for the series. After a dozen years and 22 cycles, Tyra Banks's babies are booching and tooching for the last time.

So who wins: Lacey Rogers, 18, of Arkansas; Mamé Adjei, 23, of Maryland; Mikey Heverly, 26, of Florida; or Nyle DiMarco, 25, of our dreams Washington, D.C.? Better be Nyle. Just saying. And not because he's the first (and only) deaf contestant on ANTM. He's just perfect.

The previous episode left fans on the cliffhanger of Tyra poised to cut one guy and one girl from the final four, leaving just two finalists competing in the end. Nye and Lacey had gotten close all season, and Mame and Mikey had started flirting, but there's no guarantee that that's how the twosomes break down on the finale. But a Nyle/Lacey or Nyle/Mame finale would be great. No disrespect to Mikey and his amazing hair, but...

Anyway, who are you rooting for to win the whole thing? And will you miss ANTM? In case you want to read it again, here's Tyra Banks's farewell to her series, posted when the news came out that Cycle 22 would be the last:

TYRA MAIL! Thinking #ANTM #cycle22 should be our last cycle. Yeah, I truly believe it's time. Our diehard fans know we've expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around the globe and back again. Yeah, it's time. It really is. Wow, I am SO proud of what Top Model has done. #ANTM brought the intimidating modeling world to the masses. We were the first reality show based in the fashion world. I never thought my little idea would have people everywhere thinking differently about how they take photos. And I never thought we'd do 22 cycles. Whoa! So many!!! And what rhymes with 22? You. And you and you and you and you! YOU made Top Model what it is. We are a global force that has so many international versions around the world because of YOU! That's amazing and beyond anything that I ever dreamed. I set out to create a show where Perfect is Boring. So I hope you continue to love your freckles, your moles, your big forehead, your big eyes, your small eyes, your pointy chin, your tiny boobs, your full chest, your ivory or ebony skin (or every color in between) - the stuff about you that makes you well...you. And I hope you've learned a heck of a lot from watching. I have an inkling you have. May your photos (and selfies) be forever fierce. May you always find your light. And may you werk hallways like runways. Always remember, you are beautiful & BOOTYful. And please, keep on Smizing each and every day for TyTy. Fierce & Love, 💛Tyra

'Walking Dead': See Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Perfect Reaction to Negan Casting

Posted:

World Premiere of "Ant-Man""The Walking Dead" is in its own dead zone until Season 6 resumes on February 14, 2016 (yep, Valentine's Day), but the most recent episode teased the eventual arrival of Negan. Negan is the next major villain, and not only is he an adversary for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), he is an f-bomb dropping charmer that "Walking Dead" comic book readers can't wait to see in the flesh.

In case there was some sliver of doubt in your mind that Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be a perfect Negan, he illustrated his fanboy knowledge and serious examination of the character during a talk at PasCon.

Here's how he got the news that he was cast as Negan:

"When my agent/manager called they said, 'You've been offered this thing on The Walking Dead' it's to play like a 'big bad.' At that time, they didn't know the character's name, because I think it was supposed to be a secret. And I'm like, 'Is it f-cking Negan?' And they're like, 'I don't know, we're going to have to call you back, hold on a second.' And I'm like, 'No, it's f-cking Negan. And I'm f-cking doing it.'"


F--k yeah, man! (Question: Will AMC let him say f--k as often as Negan does?)

This is a juicy character, but JDM doesn't want to play him as a typical villain. As the "Grey's Anatomy" alum and current "The Good Wife" star put it, "I've become accustomed to playing the good guy, maybe a rough exterior, but a heart of gold in there somewhere, so I think the challenge for me in this role is going to be, is there any heart in Negan? And for me I look at that as a challenge as an actor, and that's the kind of thing that I embrace and really look forward to. So, I am super excited about it. It's gonna be cool. I hope you all tune in to watch 'cause I promise you it'll be something different than you've seen me do."

We can't wait. Watch him in action, talking all about it ... while holding a Starbucks cup?

'The Bachelor' 2016: Here's What Happens in Ben Higgins's Season 20

Posted:

Are you ready for the most dramatic season of "The Bachelor" ever? How about at least since the one that aired last year? "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss tweeted that Ben Higgins's upcoming Season 20 (starting January 4, 2016) is his "favorite season since Jason and Molly." Considering Jason Mesnick didn't even pick Molly Malaney and that was the most controversial season of its time, that may be a sign for this round too.

Ben does give off a Jason-ish vibe, which could be good in the long run, since Jason and Molly are now married and beloved leaders of Bachelor Nation. Jason is one of three past Bachelors who will actually return on Ben's premiere to offer advice.

ABC just released details on the big 2016 premiere, plus scoop on Ben's upcoming dates, adding that contestant bios will be released soon. There are also spoilers on what happens in the premiere and finale, if you want that kind of thing. See below for both.

SEASON 20 PREMIERE

From ABC's press release:

• A trio of former Bachelors – Sean Lowe, Chris Soules and Jason Mesnick – arrive at the mansion to offer Ben some words of wisdom before he starts his journey to find the love of his life. What are the do's and don'ts on one of the most important nights of his life? Ben is filled with excitement and anticipation as limos start to arrive. Despite being 26, he feels ready to find the right woman and start a family.

• One by one, the gorgeous bachelorettes are prepared to make a lasting first impression. One woman reveals she is friends with Kaitlyn. Ben does a double take as another striking lady stands outside the limo – and is joined by her identical twin sister. A stunner makes a bold move and goes in for a kiss that Ben won't soon forget. A woman with a companion – a mini-horse – gets invited inside the mansion. One woman is so nervous that she forgets to tell Ben her name.

• Once inside the mansion, the party really gets started. No sooner does Ben start to welcome the women than one determined dentist steals him away for a private exam. But two last-minute arrivals turn the party upside down. Another bold bachelorette decides to plant the first real kiss of the night on Ben with surprising results. Finally, Ben offers the coveted first-impression rose to one stunned woman who never expected to receive it.

• The stakes are high as the long, stressful first night winds down and it's time for the first rose ceremony of the season. Twenty-one lucky women will continue their journey to win Ben's heart. But, of course, one brazen bachelorette pulls our Bachelor aside and chastises him for something he didn't do.



FULL SEASON TEASES

From ABC's press release:

• Ben's first one-on-one date is a doozy. He and a spirited bachelorette are joined by Ice Cube and Kevin Hart – fresh from the set of "Ride Along 2," in theaters nationwide on January 15th – who decide they know exactly what to do on this date. But will this woman roll with the punches?

• Twelve bachelorettes get to "kick it" with Ben, playing a spirited soccer match with members of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Soccer Championship team, including Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara.

• Another dozen women attempt to impress Ben with their talents as the opening act for the versatile singer, comedian and celebrity impersonator Terry Fator at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

• The Bachelor escorts nine sexy señoritas on a tasty trip through Mexico City to learn about the Spanish language and the scrumptious food. Still another woman gets to meet one of Mexico's premiere fashion designers and walk the runway to open their stellar Fashion Week.

• Six ladies are totally surprised by the company they will keep during a day of fun and sun on Pig Island. It's just them, the handsome Bachelor and a bunch of wild, swimming pigs!

• Ben takes one woman to the Baker's Youth Center in his hometown of Warsaw, Indiana, where he used to spend summers working with the kids. He is stunned when several of the Indiana Pacers, including NBA superstar Paul George, visit the center to participate in the festivities with them.

• Then it is on to Wrigley Field for a spectacular one-on-one date at the historic baseball stadium, but does the date qualify as a home run?

• The hometown dates are filled with emotional revelations, but when the final three women travel to an exotic tropical island for the romantic overnight dates, there are even more shocking surprises awaiting our unsuspecting Bachelor.


PREMIERE SPOILERS - SPOILER ALERT!

Now that the official stuff is out of the way, on to the spoilers. Reality Steve has issued his episode-by-episode spoilers, including details on who (supposedly) "won" and is now engaged to Ben.

Here's a portion of Steve's premiere breakdown:

-Maegan Miller brings her pony, and the pony stays at the cocktail party all night.

-Breanne Rice gives Ben a breadbasket.

-JoJo Fletcher wears a unicorn head which she eventually takes off.

-Lauren Russell tells him that she's been stalking him on social media for 2 months.

-Leah Block comes out of the limo and throws a football with Ben.

-Mandi Kremer wears a headband with a giant rose on it in her entrance. Says if Ben is lucky "maybe you can pollinate it later," basically turning into this season's Kaitlyn when she mentioned to Chris he could plow her field.

-Lauren Himle brought a bouquet from a wedding, because Ben had mentioned that he caught the garter at a recent one he attended.

-Jackie Dion gave him a "save the date" card for their future wedding.

-Isabel Goodkind wore a pajama onesie all night.

-Lace kissed him during their introduction, which basically started laying the groundwork for her edit this season.

-Olivia Caridi gets first impression rose at the cocktail party.

Steven Spielberg: Only Harrison Ford Should EVER Play Indiana Jones

Posted:

Yes, Harrison Ford -- like Beyoncé -- is irreplaceable. Director Steven Spielberg just talked to Screen Daily about a fifth Indiana Jones film and he emphasized that, despite some rumors, he has no plans to cast a new Indy. He also made it clear that, to him, no one else should EVER play Indy.

(Except maybe River Phoenix as young Indy in Spielberg's own "The Last Crusade." Not sure about Sean Patrick Flanery and company in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles." You may want to take this personally, guys.)

As Spielberg told Screen, "I don't think anyone could replace Harrison as Indy, I don't think that's ever going to happen. It's certainly not my intention to ever have another actor step into his shoes in the way there have been many actors that have played Spider-Man or Batman. There is only going to be one actor playing Indiana Jones and that's Harrison Ford."

BOOM.

The mic has been dropped and all hopefuls can scurry away -- and maybe join the lineup for potential young Han Solos.

Harrison Ford has said for a while that he would return for "Indiana Jones 5," if a script comes along, so there's no need to recast. But it's good to hear Spielberg give his thoughts on the action hero's distant future; 'cause you know someone out there will want to reboot Indy someday, and here's The Boss saying all non-Ford versions are not legit.

Ryan Gosling Spits on a Baby During 'Titanic' Reenactment in 'SNL' Promo

Posted:

Hey girl, you do not want to miss Ryan Gosling in these perfect "Saturday Night Live" promos. Seriously, it's like they're Photoshopped. Gosling seems like an obvious fit for "SNL," but he's actually hosting for the very first time this Saturday, December 5. If the actual show is as good as even one of the promos with Gosling and SNL-er Aidy Bryant, then we're in for a hot night.

Here are Ryan and Aidy in a series of previews for the Dec. 5 show, which features musical guest Leon Bridges:


As you can see, they went the obvious route by having Aidy crush on Ry-guy, but then took things to a less expected level with the pec wailing and choosing to reenact THAT particular scene from "Titanic." Best part: "Oh my god. I just spit on a baby." [RUNS]

If you want to know what else Gosling has been doing with his time, People recently shared an exclusive first photo from his upcoming movie "The Nice Guys" with Russell Crowe, so you can check out their retro fabulous looks.

Will you be watching Gosling host SNL for the first time this weekend?

Best of Late Night TV: Carrie Underwood's Carpool Karaoke, Ben Affleck Premieres New Trailer

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.

Over on "The Late Late Show," James Corden continued his instant-classic "Carpool Karaoke" series -- this time with country queen Carrie Underwood -- and at one point James let Jesus take the wheel, which is probably not safe to try at home. At the start of the eight-minute video, James asked about the concept of ice hockey, which is pretty foreign to him, but that's what Carrie's husband Mike Fisher does for a living. James asked Carrie if she ever worried about Mike fighting with other players. Carrie: "Have you seen his latest fight? ... He knocked a guy's teeth out. It was hot." Nice! Maybe he can take on Conor McGregor next. Carrie and James also went shopping for country boots, POWERED through "Before He Cheats" and Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," and timed how long they could hold a note (which Carrie compared to the "Dumb and Dumber" most annoying sound in the world). It's awesome:
Ben Affleck was not around to save Jimmy Kimmel from Matt Damon on Tuesday night's show, but maybe that's because Jimmy failed to flash the Bat signal. Once Guillermo flashed it Wednesday night, Ben, aka "Batman," showed up on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Turns out, he was just sitting in the audience all night, he didn't even see the Bat signal. No matter. Like Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" cast last week, Ben introduced DC's new "Batman v Superman" trailer. Jimmy will only call Ben "Batman" or "Bruce Wayne" from now on, but that has to be an upgrade from Bennifer so ... no complaints. Also, don't miss the ass grab at the end of the video, after the trailer.
A very sparkly Conor McGregor talked to Jimmy Kimmel about how much he loves beating people up for money, and previewed his upcoming opponent, Jose Aldo.
The gorgeous Liv Tyler and her sweet, breathy voice were also on JKL, previewing "The Leftovers" Season 2 finale this Sunday (watch it!), talking about the birth of her son, and revealing that her dad Steven Tyler cut her umbilical cord.

Conan O'Brien asked Ken Jeong if he's ever tempted to bring Mr. Chow to his new show "Dr. Ken." Conan wants Mr. Chow to be on "Game of Thrones" or "Empire" to say "Toodaloo, motherf--ker" to everyone.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" star Adam Driver was on "The Tonight Show" and helpfully pointed out his character, Kylo Ren, in various photos. In one pic, he said he and the Stormtroopers were just on their way to the store, and that was his car in the background.
Last but not least, here's Brett Favre doing a "Tonight Show Throwdown":

New 'Batman v Superman' Trailer Reveals Doomsday, Lots of (Bad) Lex Luthor

Posted:

So... this just happened.

The new trailer for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is here and, well, it's a trailer. Lots of punching and Bruce Wayne sounding like Bruce Springsteen ensue.

Also, the rumor that fan-favorite villain Doomsday will appear in the Warner Bros. epic is finally confirmed.
And it looks like, based on this trailer, he is the thing that gets Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) to stop fighting each other and start kick-punching the latest threat to their world.

Also also? Jesse Eisenberg as Carrot Top Lex Luthor. He's seemingly channeling Jim Carrey's voice and hair from "Batman Forever." (Shut it down.)
So much is crammed into this unevenly edited trailer that one walks away expecting the movie to have a similar feel -- if not also a five-hour running time. Nice to see Wonder Woman get some love, though, albeit too brief.

What do you guys think? Do you like the trailer's less dour tone when compared to previous ones? Will this movie be the comic book film that fans both need and deserve?

We'll find out when "BvS" hits theaters March 25, 2016. Watch the trailer below:
