Your Kentucky Derby pop culture party planner: Because you need something else to do besides watch horses run for two minutes
5 May 2012 7:31 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Old sports writers (mainly Pardon the Interruption host and professional crank Tony Kornheiser) like to remind anybody listening that for most of the pre-World War II era, the biggest sports in America were baseball, boxing, and horse racing.
If you really want to get your 1930s on this weekend, you’ll have that chance: The baseball season is in full swing (Let’S Go Mets!), there’s a huge title fight in the boxing world between Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto, and on Saturday evening, the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby begins.
The Kentucky Derby is an excellent excuse for a party, »

WarGames: Ally Sheedy Talks About The Film 30 Years On
30 April 2012 3:55 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Back in 1983, Wargames was released and way ahead of its time. It starred a young Matthew Broderick as computer hacker David, a whizz kid who accidentally connects to a top secret network that controls the nuclear weapons of the USA. David believes he’s playing a game called Global Thermonuclear War and when he’s challenged to a war between America and Russia, he accepts. However, the Us Department of Defence believes it’s real and he unintentionally starts the countdown to World War 3. If you’ve not seen it, you should. Although you could say it indicates that computers are the work of evil, it really talks about the Cold War and the growing paranoia in the Us over nuclear war. I remember having the VHS – yes, video tape! –and I loved it but mainly because it was so futuristic…at the time…and watching it in the early 90s was a proper treat. »

9 Things We Learned From The 'WarGames' Tribeca Screening
28 April 2012 3:27 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Earlier today, the Tribeca Film Festival hosted a screening of the 1983 Matthew Broderick classic (and a personal favorite), "WarGames." In front of a, sadly, less than packed house (or, happily, a more than empty house) the film was screened in its entirety, followed by a slightly disappointing panel discussion (I'll get to that) that included director John Badham and co-star Ally Sheedy. While in attendance, I learned a few things about "WarGames." Here are those 9 things that I learned.
1. The first scene is still frightening
I haven't seen "WarGames" from start to finish in quite some time. So long, in fact, that I forgot about the somewhat frightening opening scene featuring John Spencer as an Air Force officer who can't turn the key that will result in the launch of a nuclear warhead. The scene was a test (he didn't know that), but his failure to launch inspires the government »

Jason Biggs Isn't Afraid Of Full-Frontal Nudity Or Twitter Fights
2 April 2012 10:31 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Have you ever read Jason Biggs' Twitter feed? For someone in the public eye -- you know, someone who has a publicist -- it's kind of insane.
In other words: Yep, that's Jason Bigs unfiltered. He may type out the "c-word" while watching an episode of "The Bachelor," or may start a Twitter feud with, well, just about anyone. Put it this way: you're not going to read any tweets from Biggs about what he ate for breakfast. Because people who do tweet about that can, as Biggs puts it, "Go f--- yourself. That's so boring." Yes, Jason Biggs likes to say what's on his mind, which makes my job as someone interviewing Biggs about his new movie, "American Reunion," that much easier. (Also, Jason Biggs likes to cuss.)
In "American Reunion," Biggs returns as the erstwhile Jim Levenstein. Thirteen years after the first film, Jim is married with a child, »

How to Survive a (Movie) Kidnapping
23 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Be it for money, bargaining purposes, or strictly out of necessity, movie characters have been getting kidnapped since silent-era evildoers began the mini industry of tying women to train tracks.
Not all kidnappers are mustache-twirling villains, though. In fact, many of them have a darn good reason and are pretty nice folks once you're forced at gunpoint to get to know them. Amanda Seyfried could sure use some do's and dont's in the new kidnap thriller "Gone," but if you ever do get kidnapped in a film, we have a few rules to live by so you don't wind up on a milk carton … or in a wood chipper.
Follow the Kidnapper's Instructions
Evidence: "Fargo," "Ransom," "Misery," "Alpha Dog," "Silence of the Lambs"
As a result of William H. Macy's greed in scheming an inside-kidnapping job with a skeevy Steve Buscemi in "Fargo," about a dozen people lost their lives. »

20 February 2012 6:51 AM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
Donna Douglas played Elly Mae Clampett on The Beverly Hillibillies for all nine seasons and 274 episodes of the very popular CBS sitcom. The show ran from 1962 until 1971 and was a top 20 show for eight seasons.
She returned to her beloved role in the disappointing reunion movie The Return of the Beverly Hillbillies in 1981, joining Buddy Ebsen and Nancy Kulp.
Douglas later appeared as Elly Mae in The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies, a mockumentary-style tribute that included in-character appearances by Buddy Ebsen, Max Baer Jr., Eva Gabor, Eddie Albert, Louis Nye, and Larry Pennell.
That was aired the same year as the disappointing release of the feature film starring Jim Varney, Cloris Leachman, Dabney Coleman, and Lily Tomlin.

Paz de la Huerta Fired from Boardwalk Empire - Samantha Swetra Fight to Blame?
8 February 2012 6:03 PM, PST | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Boardwalk Empire star Paz de la Huerta has been fired from season three of the show, was her earlier fight with Samantha Swetra to blame? De la Huerta played politician Enoch "Nucky" Thompson's fiery girlfriend, Lucy Danziger, on the HBO series, set in a Prohibition-era Atlantic City, N.J., but she will not return. Last year, de la Huerta was arrested after attacking The City star Samantha Swetra in New York. She was then charged with five misdemeanours and two counts of assault, but it is unclear if the run-in with the reality TV actress and then the law was the reason for her not returning as other changes have been made. Thespreadit.com notes: "Paz de la Huerta who will be staring in “Nurse” and “Amsterdam, Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story” is not the only star from “Boardwalk Empire,” walking the plan, Michael Pitt’s Jimmy Darmody and Dabney Coleman »

Boardwalk Empire Will Lose Paz de la Huerta In New Season
7 February 2012 12:01 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Boardwalk Empire will be letting go Paz de la Huerta in season 3. de la Huerta plays Lucy Dazinger a speakeasy performer with a hot temper and former mistress of Nucky Thompson.
Those that are fans of the show know that this will be one of several characters not coming back for the third season. Those that are not fans of the show, but are planning to be, now is probably a good time to look away because of, you know, spoilers.
The final episode of the second season, well actually the final minutes, brought a certain demise to a lot of regular cast members, including Michael Pitt and Dabney Coleman. Lucy’s future, however, was a little less certain. Season 2 saw her run away from Atlantic City after giving birth to Van Alden’s brand new baby girl. It looks like the show will not follow her, wherever she may be, »

Paz de la Huerta: Not Returning to Boardwalk Empire
7 February 2012 5:46 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Paz de la Huerta will not be returning to Boardwalk Empire.
HBO has chosen not to pick up the actress' contract option, TV Line confirms, following her character's disappearance near the end of season two.
de la Huerta debuted on the Boardwalk Empire premiere as Lucy, Nucky's mostly unbalanced girlfriend. She then gave birth to Van Alden's baby last season, only to head out on a formula errand and never come back.
With de la Huerta joining Michael Pitt, Dabney Coleman and Aleksa Palladino - all of whom portrayed character that were killed off on season - on the Boardwalk Empire sidelines, look for the drama to bring in a lot of new faces next fall.
Bobby Cannavale, for example, has been cast as a series regular gangster. »

More importantly FX has also renewed the show for another year on top of the recent fifth season pickup, bringing it to a total of six seasons. Sutter has previously indicated that he's been aiming for a seven season run of the show and now he's likely to get it. The fifth season of 'Anarchy' kicks off in the Fall. [Source: Digital Spy]

'Boardwalk Empire' lets Paz de la Huerta go
6 February 2012 3:38 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Boardwalk Empire" giveth, and "Boardwalk Empire" taketh away.
A few days after adding Bobby Cannavale to its cast for Season 3, the HBO series has parted ways with Paz de la Huerta, who played Nucky's (Steve Buscemi) one-time mistress, Lucy Danziger. TVLine reports the show declined to pick up de la Huerta's contract option for next season.
Considering that Lucy was Mia for the second half of last season -- after giving birth to Van Alden's (Michael Shannon) baby, she went out to run an errand and never returned -- the news isn't the world's biggest surprise. Still, de la Huerta becomes the fourth member of the show's original cast (along with Michael Pitt, Aleksa Palladino and Dabney Coleman) not to make it to the third season.
Cannavale signed on to "Boardwalk Empire" late last week; he'll play a new thorn in Nucky's side in the show's third season, which will return in the fall. »

Paz de La Huerta Won't Return to HBO's Boardwalk Empire
6 February 2012 2:42 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
We have known since October that the hit HBO series Boardwalk Empire is returning for Season 3 later this year, although one actress will not be coming back. Paz de la Huerta has been let go by HBO, with the network declining to pick up her option for Season 3.
Paz de la Huerta played Lucy Danzinger on the series, who started out as the mistress of Steve Buscemi's Nucky Thompson in Season 1. Season 2 saw Lucy shack up with Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon), who impregnated her but was left with the child after she mysteriously split town.
We reported last week that Bobby Cannavale signed on as a new series regular in Boardwalk Empire, portraying the gangster Gyp Rosetti, who challenges Nucky Thompson for control over his turf. Other actors such as Michael Pitt, Dabney Coleman, and Aleksa Palladino will not be returning in Season 3 as well.

Boardwalk Empire has whacked Paz de la Huerta.
TVLine has learned exclusively that the HBO mob hit has opted not to pick up the actress’ Season 3 contract option, which means viewers have likely seen the last of her character, Lucy Danziger.
Introduced in Season 1 as Nucky’s (Steve Buscemi) unhinged mistress, Lucy spent much of Season 2 pregnant and shacked up with Michael Shannon’s Van Alden (the baby daddy). Shortly after giving birth, she went on a formula run and never returned, leaving the baby in Van Alden’s care.
