First photo of Don Cheadle as Miles Davis in ‘Miles Ahead’

Don Cheadle has been trying to make a movie about legendary jazz artist Miles Davis for nearly 10 years.

The crowd-funded project, titled Miles Ahead, begins filming […]

Video: Everyone suspects Ben Affleck in ‘Gone Girl’ trailer

Any new David Fincher movie is an event, in my opinion. But when he adapts one of the most popular novels of the past two years, it’s a potential cultural phenomenon. And with an Oct. 3 release date, Gone Girl clearly has eyes on being in the Academy Award race. Here’s the new trailer for […]

Video: The first trailer for ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One’

Last week, Syfy released a scene from Sharknado 2: The Second One and we were more than happy to post it here. But what we really wanted was a trailer. And now, we have one. The typical sequel move is to put more money into special effects and casting, trying to make something bigger than […]

Video: John Oliver recaps your 4th of July fireworks experience

Did you attend a fireworks show during the 4th of July weekend? How did that go for you and your family? That is, if you didn’t just watch fireworks as a couple or with friends.

Channing Tatum head-butts a mirror in ‘Foxcatcher’ trailer

One of the movies that will likely be drawing some Oscar buzz this winter is Foxcatcher, which tells the true story of millionaire John du Pont murdering Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz in 1996. Steve Carell is nearly unrecognizable under prosthetic makeup and a higher-pitched accent as du Pont. Mark Ruffalo plays Dave Schultz, with Channing […]

Make sure your tweets have correct spelling and use the English language properly. If not, you may be hearing from actor Kelsey Grammer.

#ThingsTimHowardCouldSave saves us from sadness, boredom

There are days when the internet just doesn’t let you down, when it’s clear just how much of a technological and cultural benefit it adds to our lives. That became even clearer in the hours after the U.S. men’s national team was defeated by Belgium in the World Cup on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Tim Howard is […]

Adam Richman loses his mind and maybe his Travel Channel show

There are just some things you can’t say — or shouldn’t say — to people. That applies even more when you’re a celebrity or public figure. If comedian and TV host Adam Richman didn’t already know that, he may have learned his lesson after becoming unhinged while responding to commenters on Tuesday. Richman posted photos on […]

#AskThicke Twitter promotion goes badly for Robin Thicke

One of the funniest things our culture can give us these days is Twitter promotions gone horribly wrong. Robin Thicke asking fans to send him questions with the #AskThicke hashtag probably seemed like a fun idea at first. But being so public about trying to win back his wife Paula Patton hasn’t helped with his […]
