Fast & Furious 6 obliterates the competition at the UK box office
36 minutes ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 17th to Sunday 19th May 2013...
It seems that UK audiences can't get enough of the Fast & Furious series. The sixth instalment amassed a hefty £8,717,534 to claim first place in the box office chart this past weekend, delivering a franchise high opening, as well as giving Universal its biggest ever three-day debut on these shores.
Despite being destroyed by Vin Diesel and company, Baz Luhrmann's lavish adaptation of The Great Gatsby pulled in a respectable £4,095,325 in second, with £676k of Thursday previews giving it enough to knock last week's number one film Star Trek Into Darkness down into third.
Thanks to the arrival of Fast & Furious 6 and The Great Gatsby, much of the rest of the top ten were left fighting for scraps, with Iron Man 3 the only other film to break seven figures in fourth; in fact, »

Vin Diesel Says ‘Fast & Furious 7′ Will Be Set in L.A.
1 hour ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
The Fast & Furious franchise has been on the road for quite awhile (pun!). The franchise began in Los Angeles, before subsequent sequels moved the adventures of Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) and their gang to the roads of Miami, Tokyo, Mexico (after stops in La and Dr), Brazil and Europe, respectively.
Along the way, the franchise has evolved from street racer sub-culture expose (with dashes of crime-drama action) to a full-on crime-drama action franchise (with dashes of street racer sub-culture). This transition remains a divisive issue for the fanbase, with some fans of the earlier films loudly condemning a perceived “loss of roots” in more recent films.
Well, fans on both sides of the Fast & Furious division can maybe appreciate this latest bit of news: Vin Diesel is claiming that Fast & ...

On Friday, Fast & Furious 6 hits theaters marking the sixth edition of the series that has spanned twelve years. Once again, the entire cast is back, including Jordana Brewster who portrays Mia Toretto – Dom’s (Vin Diesel) loyal sister and Brian’s (Paul Walker) husband. VH1 Celebrity put Brewster in the driver’s seat and quizzed on her own driving experience and who she’d beat in a real race.
VH1 Celebrity: How many times did you take your driving test before you passed?
Jordana: Once, which was really good. There was a ticking clock. If I didn’t get my license I wasn’t going to be able to get insured for the movie. Within a week of taking my driving test, we were flown to Las Vegas for this special driving class. So I had to pass or I wouldn’t have been in the movie.

Roll Call: Vin Diesel Says He's Too Ripped To Have Played Ferris Bueller

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans
He Said What?: As much as we've always dreamed of Vin Diesel saying the classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" line, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it," it appears the "Fast & Furious 6" star thinks his bulging muscles would have stopped him from nabbing the role. "Being a physical presence will rule you out of a lot of roles. I couldn't have done 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' with that physical presence," the actor told Men's Fitness. "But I like it ...

Idiot's Guide to the 'Fast and Furious' Movies
3 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
It seems like only yesterday that Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) walked up to Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and inexplicably started a sentence with, "So check it out, it's like this," kicking off the first illegal street race in the "Fast and Furious" franchise ten minutes into "The Fast and the Furious" (2001). Alas, that was twelve years and many "the"s ago.
Now, on the eve of this week's debut of the sixth installment (!) of this venerable institution of American cinema, cleverly titled "Fast & Furious 6," we'd like to briefly recap the first five films of the franchise for those of you who may have missed a street robbery or a Ludacris megaphone shout along the way.
Yes, Lettys and Gentle-Doms, it's the Idiot's Guide to the "Fast and Furious" movies. Start your engines.

Lights, cameras, and fast cars. The stars of "Fast & Furious 6" were ready to party last night at the movie's premiere in L.A. VIn Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Cris "Ludacris" Bridges, and Tyrese Gibson were all on hand to celebrate the latest "Fast" installment, and celebrate they did. Actors/musicians Gibson and Ludacris not only walked the red carpet, they performed at the event, along with rapper Wiz Khalifa. But they weren't the only cast members who put on a show -- Diesel joined them on-stage, while Rodriguez deejayed at the after-party. In the latest adrenaline-pumping "Fast" installment, Agent Hobbs (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) enlists Dom (Diesel) and his team to bring a rival gang, led by Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), to justice in exchange for a blank slate (aka no criminal record). Sounds like a good deal! Check out the photos below. "Fast & Furious 6" speeds into theaters May 24. »

Vin Diesel is continuing his reign as the world's Vin Dieseliest human. And the cover story of this month's Men's Fitness magazine brings us more of his sage wisdom. Take it away, amazing Vin Diesel quotes!On being typecast: "Being a physical presence will rule you out of a lot of roles. I couldn't have done Ferris Bueller's Day Off with that physical presence. But I like it as part of me; it's part of what I represent, and I think if Humphrey Bogart were around today he'd be a lot bigger." On the industry: "Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors." On art: "There were scenes that were so dangerous that if the studio really knew I was doing them they'd have shut down production on Fast 6.

'I Can't Play A Slut In Front Of Millions Of People'
7 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Michelle Rodriguez makes her big return to the "Fast and Furious" franchise with the release of "Fast Six," hitting theaters on May 24. Rodriguez's character Letty Ortiz was thought to be dead after the fourth film in the series, but her resurrection was alluded to in "Fast Five" and comes to pass in "Fast & Furious Six."
The role has been lucrative for Rodriguez, landing her in multiple "Fast and Furious" installments and aiding in the growth of her career. It was, however, a part that she was slightly apprehensive about at first.
"Oh my god, I was crying on the set," Rodriguez said in an interview with Vulture. "I was like, “Look, dude, I love you guys, I really want to be a part of this, but I can’t play a slut in front of millions of people around the world.” I’d rather go back to Jersey City, doing my small little indie movies. »

Movie Review - Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
14 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Fast & Furious 6, 2013.
Directed by Justin Lin.
Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, Elsa Pataky, Jordana Brewster, and Gina Carano.
Synopsis:
The gang of car thieves and illegal street racers are brought out of retirement to face a global menace...and track down a long-lost member.
This sixth (yes sixth) entry in the ever-increasingly popular Fast & Furious series is too loud, too stupid, and too nonsensical to be judged as anything other than, well, a Fast & Furious film. It straddles the lines between fun and utter garbage from the first minute to the last, but somehow, through the belief in its own convictions, Fast & Furious 6 end up being just about more fun than dumb. It may be 51% against 49% but a good time is there to be had.
The old adage of “leave your brain at the door” to enjoy a big budget film is not one »

‘The Voice’: Shakira’s Confidence Is Not Enough To Save [Spoiler]
17 hours ago | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
It was a night full of amazing performances on ‘The Voice,’ and it all started with an emotional tribute to the victims who suffered in Oklahoma.
Blake Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert opened The Voice on May 21, putting on a heartfelt performance in honor of the horrific tragedy that occurred in Moore, Okla.
‘The Voice’ Pays Tribute To Oklahoma Tragedy
On May 20, Blake explained how close to his heart the tragedy was, as Okla. is his home state. So it was extremely meaningful when he and Miranda took the stage to perform “Over You,” a song the couple wrote together about the death of Blake’s brother.
Shakira and Usher also performed on the results show. Shakira and her team performed “Stand By You.” However, we couldn’t stop looking at what she was standing in — a pair of super sexy glittery boots.

'The Voice' results: The Top 10 sheds two - Who went home?
18 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
On Tuesday's (May 21) episode of "The Voice," the Top 10 shed a little dead weight, with two more artists let go based on America's vote. It could've been a dicey night for coaches Usher and Shakira, who each only had two singers left in the game at the top of the hour. Would the evening end with a coach's team empty? Or might Adam Levine and Blake Shelton lose one of their artists?
First, a little music: Blake takes the stage with wife Miranda Lambert to perform a touching tribute to the Oklahoma tornado victims. After that, Shakira takes the stage with her team on "I'll Stand By You." This seems to continue the theme of honoring those who've been touched by tragedy in Oklahoma this week. It's wonderful take on the song, with Sasha Allen sounding particularly great.
Oh, look it's Michelle Rodriguez and Vin Diesel. They're taking the whole »
