So many around the world were devastated on Wednesday upon learning that Zayn Malik was leaving One Direction. (Here in the AP Party offices, our Jeremy Klumpp has been inconsolable. We’re just going to give him some time.) Someone else deeply affected by the outpouring of affection toward Zayn is actor Billy Zane. As you […]

One of the reasons Steven Spielberg is such a compelling filmmaker is because of the variety of material he takes on. In recent years, he’s directed an Indiana Jones sequel, an adaptation of Tintin comic books and an Abraham Lincoln biopic. Now, Spielberg is about to jump from a Cold War spy thriller (Bridge of Spies) […]

This Sunday, the biggest event of the year for the WWE, Wrestlemania 31, takes place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. A lot of wrestling writers and fans are predicting a lackluster event this year, with a main event no one wants — WWE champion Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns — to matches involving wrestling relics […]

We’ve seen what Ben Affleck’s Batman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa’s Aquaman will look like in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. (By the way, that movie is set to open one year from Wednesday — March 25, 2016.) But we haven’t seen any glimpses of the story’s bad guys. […]

“I can choose to help find justice for a fellow dead girl.” iZombie is the latest show from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas. In some ways, the show serves as a spiritual (and supernatural) successor to Mr. Thomas’ previous show. It features a young, whip-smart and wise-cracking woman putting her brains and brawn to work […]

The “crying piccolo player” from the Villanova band became one of the enduring images from the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, with footage and screen caps of her crying while playing the school fight song being posted throughout the sports internet on Sunday and Monday. As happens these days, the image of Roxanne Chalifoux […]

If you missed The X-Files since the series ended in 2002, Fox has some good news for you. According to TV Line, the network is set to revive the show with a limited (“short stack”) run of six to eight episodes. This won’t be a reboot, but a continuation of the previous series and two […]

For college basketball fans, March Madness is the greatest time of year. Hours upon hours of tournament analysis go out the window when a 3-seed loses to a 14-seed on the first day. Brackets get busted. People ask their three-year-old nieces to fill one out just as a basis for comparison. Your co-worker wins the […]

Eyebrows were definitely raised among movie writers and fans when Paramount decided to move its next Mission: Impossible film from a Christmas Day release up to July. Even if avoiding Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the calendar is probably a smart move, taking about five months of prep time away put the pressure on […]

If Marvel Comics gave the hammer of Thor to a woman as a gimmick intended to boost sales, it seems to have worked. The new Thor debuted last October and the first four issues of that comic book have outsold the last four issues of the previous title (Thor: God of Thunder) featuring the familiar, […]

Last October, Adult Swim aired a dark, weird, and seemingly endless credits sequence for a fake sitcom called Too Many Cooks at 4 A.M. on a Tuesday morning. The 11-minute video quickly became a viral hit that has been viewed over seven million times on YouTube. Fast forward five months, and CNN has created a […]

When portraying a real-life figure in a biopic — especially one that’s fresh in recent memory, such as Steve Jobs — how important is it for the actor playing that role to resemble the actual person? Apparently, that’s not an issue director Danny Boyle is concerned with for his upcoming movie about the Apple co-founder, […]
