Good evening, and welcome to The Voice semi-final liveblog. This is where things get serious - for the first time this series, all the acts from all the coaches will take their turn to sing live on stage. Which of these plucky young upstarts will make it through to bask in the glory of next week's big final? Well, Jaz, Ruth, Becky and Bo, obviously. But don't let that put you off.
There are other questions to be answered tonight. Questions like "How many songs will Jessie J pull to standstill this week?", "Will Tom Jones ever be able to think up a word that rhymes with 'cow'?" and "How tall will Holly Willoughby be this week? Eight feet? Nine?". Hopefully we'll »

Cannes 2012: 'Jaws,' Boos & Drugs
25 May 2012 6:58 AM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
As Frank Sinatra once said, the days dwindle down to a precious few. (Okay, Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson wrote it, but Sinatra sang it best.) With two full days left until the Palme d'Or is awarded and the 65th Cannes Film Festival comes to a close, many festivalgoers have headed home, and the ones who are left are singing their own versions of "September Song," adapted to late May. By most reports, the thinning crowds haven't done much to ease the long lines for press screenings. "Who knew this many »

Bret Michaels Talks Summer Tour, Health Issues
23 May 2012 11:54 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Bret Michaels has a really busy summer ahead of him.
The former Poison frontman-turned-reality-star just hit the road for a solo tour -- he was heading to Louisiana when we chatted -- but that's not all. He's reuniting with his old Poison bandmates and longtime Def Leppard hair metal rock buddies for a series of joint gigs this summer.
“I spend about 90 percent of my time out doing solo tours," Michaels told The Huffington Post. "But this summer is exciting because I get to get back together with Poison and Def Leppard, and they’re all old friends. And we are just going to make it a lot of fun.”
"Most of us came from these small towns so we never forget what it was like the first time we all came together," Michaels added. "And we’re happy about how far we’ve come. Back in the '80s »

Donald Driver Finally Gets Len Goodman's Approval
23 May 2012 11:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
After he was crowned the winner of "Dancing With the Stars" Season 14 on Tuesday night, longtime Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver stopped by "Good Morning America" to bask in the glow of victory.
Driver talked about how all season he had been searching for judge Len Goodman's approval, and he finally got it on his final performance. "I finally got that 10 from Len ... it took 10 weeks to get it, but we got it," Driver boasted.
Right on cue, "Gma" played a congratulatory video message Goodman had taped for Driver. “Well done, congratulations. Donald, I salute you!" the usually-ornery judge said.
Driver defeated opera singer Kristine Jenkins and Cuban-American actor William Levy for the top spot. Levy’s son cried for an hour when he lost, but created a memorable video for his dad, in which he told him, "Daddy, you're my winner, you're my number one."

Timothy Bottoms: The Hollywood Interview

Timothy Bottoms Gets His Pound Of Flesh
By
Timothy Bottoms became an overnight sensation at the height of the so-called “Easy Riders and Raging Bulls” era, after landing the leading role in The Last Picture Show (1971), Peter Bogdanovich’s film about the social and sexual rites of small town Texans in the early 1950s. Internationally acclaimed for his portrait of Sonny, a sensitive kid struggling to find his way in the harsh landscape of post-war America, the then-twenty year-old Bottoms suddenly found himself not only in-demand as a rising young star, but a major celebrity, as well, with younger brothers Sam (who co-starred in The Last Picture Show), Joseph and Ben following in their older brother’s footsteps, making names for themselves on stage and screen. Bottoms reprised the role of Sonny for Picture Show's 1990 sequel, Texasville.

Lee Harvey Oswald Tried to Prevent JFK Assassination, Manuscript Says
20 May 2012 3:16 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
http://www.thewrap.com/sites/all/themes/custom/thewrap/images/bg.png); background-position: 50% 0%; "> I've got a new conspiracy theory for you: Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F. Kennedy. In fact, he was in Dallas to prevent the killing of the president by taking out the actual assassin. That person, who fired the fatal shots form the grassy knoll, had undergone plastic surgery so as to look exactly like Oswald. And Oswald was driven to save Kennedy by Frank Sinatra's assassination-thwarting role in "The Manchurian Candidate." Far-fetched? To say the least! Just the sort of high-concept that Hollywood »

Monroe Met Kennedy For Emotional Hotel Summit, According To Explosive New Book
18 May 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Marilyn Monroe had an emotional showdown with America's former First Lady Jackie Kennedy a month before her death in 1962 over her reported romance with the President, according to a revealing new book.
The tragic actress had threatened to go public with her affairs with John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, who was America's Attorney General at the time, if her lover didn't divorce his wife and marry her - and Jackie stepped in to make a personal plea to Monroe during a tense meeting at New York's Carlyle Hotel, according to biographer Darwin Porter's new book Marilyn: Rainbow's End.
In an extract, published in America's Globe magazine, the author writes, "Jackie begged Marilyn not to publicly humiliate her children in front of the world. She also pleaded with Marilyn not to make John, Jr. and Caroline the victims of a divorce."
Porter claims Monroe was touched by her heart-to-heart with Jackie and agreed to keep her romances with the President and his brother a secret, but the biographer alleges the actress had one more big surprise for Kennedy on the day before her death in August, 1962 - she called to tell the President she had aborted his baby.
Hours later, Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home. Her passing was ruled a suicide, but Porter has unearthed evidence that suggests the star was murdered by Chicago Mob boss Sam Giancana for refusing to help Mafia bosses poison Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who the author claims idolised the actress.
In Rainbow's End, the biographer also claims Monroe had lesbian trysts with Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor, who she allegedly bedded after a Frank Sinatra party in 1961.
Porter also suggests Monroe turned down a marriage offer from her one-time husband Joe Dimaggio's son, romanced Elvis Presley and Sinatra and was the star of a collection of sex tapes secretly filmed by Mafia bosses to ruin her. »

What to Expect When You’re Expecting
Directed by: Kirk Jones
Cast: Elizabeth Banks, Ben Falcone, Jennifer Lopez, Rodrigo Santoro, Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Dennis Quaid
Running Time: 1 hr 50 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: May 18, 2012
Plot: The intersecting lives of five couples and their different experiences with pregnancy.
Who’S It For?: Women (and dudes just like Schwarzenegger’s character in Junior) won’t find this flick to be all that plentiful with pregnancy wisdom. Though there are jokes specifically targeted at the testosterone in theater, those aren’t funny either. While I’ve never been pregnant, I can say that this movie would probably make my mom (who has actually had nine-pound twins) want to crush someone in the face with this book.
Expectations: Hee-haw, not falling for that one. However, I was curious to see how well this self-help book would transition into a movie, »

Has The Voice lost its charm?
18 May 2012 3:57 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
After losing about 4m viewers and the spinning chairs stage, can the talent show tweak things to win viewers back?
Remember when people liked The Voice? It wasn't that long ago. Back then we were all dazzled by how committed it was to fairness, vocal ability and fighting back against The X Factor's shallow artifice. With good reason, too: truly, you'd have been hard pushed to find a more gimmick-free TV show in which Tom Jones bellowed half-remembered anecdotes about Frank Sinatra in a spinny chair while someone shouted a power ballad at him.
But then things started to go horribly wrong. Sunday's results show could only muster 6.4 million viewers – down about 4 million from its audition-stage peak. While The Voice was ploughing on with its insistence that earnest credibility will always out, everyone else was too busy hooting at a dancing dog on Britain's Got Talent. Clearly, The Voice isn't getting something right. »

That was when Alejandro Garcia, who'd been hiding behind garbage cans near her driveway, says he snuck up behind her.

The dramatic testimony by the prosecution's star witness came in a sensational trial now underway in White Plains, N.Y., for the 2009 murders of Novack and her millionaire son Ben Novack Jr., once the owner of Miami Beach's storied Fountainbleau Hotel. »

The Frank Sinatra Film Collection | Review
11 May 2012 2:25 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Depending on the depths of the vault of the studio, DVD anthologies centered around the works of a specific actor or director can be entirely hit-or-miss. Fox’s Frank Sinatra Film Collection is no exception to that rule, in that it embodies both sides. Though it doesn’t have some of his enduring classics like Ocean’s 11 or Guys and Dolls (which is owned by MGM – just not included here), it has the celebrated The Manchurian Candidate as its flagship film, sandwiched between a number of his detective films, the war and action smash Von Ryan’s Express, along with a few of his more generic, middle-of-the-road jaunts. The set as a whole averages out to be pretty good, and considering it’s about one sixth of his filmography, it’s an impressive haul for the price (at about $3.50 per movie).

Stars Pay Tribute To Vidal Sassoon
10 May 2012 5:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Mia Farrow and singer Estelle are among the celebrities who have offered tributes to legendary hair icon Vidal Sassoon, who died on Wednesday.
The veteran stylist was believed to have been battling leukaemia when he passed away at his Los Angeles home at the age of 84.
Sassoon has long been credited with coming up with Farrow's famous pixie crop in Rosemary's Baby, but the star admits she had been trimming her hair herself years before making the 1968 horror classic.
In posts on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "(I) met him when he trimmed my hair during filming of Rosemary's Baby (but) I cut my own hair short... even before I married Frank Sinatra.
"Vidal Sassoon trimmed my inch long hair as publicity prank 4 RosemrysBaby (Rosemary's Baby and) he was nice. Rip."
Spandau Ballet rocker Martin Kemp adds, "Rip Vidal Sassoon... A wonderful man I had the pleasure to dine with once... Hats off to you sir!" while teen star Miley Cyrus writes, "Rip Vidal Sassoon. You are forever fabulous."
Estelle tweets, "Vidal Sassoon was an icon in hair and in freedom. Choosing to follow your destiny instead of the path chosen for you by man." »
Obama Presents Award For Popular Song
9 May 2012 9:20 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Washington — President Barack Obama is honoring the brainpower behind the unforgettable tunes "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," "Close to You," and others recorded by artists spanning Dionne Warwick, the Carpenters, Alicia Keys and the cast of "Glee."
On Wednesday night, Obama will present the songwriting duo of Burt Bacharach and Hal David with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. In the 1960s and beyond, their work produced some of the most popular music for movies, television and recording artists.
In return for all the memorable hits and love songs, the 83-year-old Bacharach said he would love to hear the president sing a few lines. The composer said he'll play piano for Obama any time if he wants to sing to the first lady.
"Nothing would make me happier because the guy can really sing," Bacharach told The Associated Press. "I heard him on YouTube sing `Walk On By, »

DVD Playhouse – May 2012
By Allen Gardner
Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
