Mad Men Review: Merry Krishna

20 May 2012 10:48 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

It's that time of year, when the world falls in love...or maybe it's just that time of year when the world pretends to be in love because her better half is a really good recruiter for her religion.

Seriously, between Harry's trip down Krishna lane, and Lane's money problems, there was a lot going on in "Christmas Waltz" that couldn't have cared less about.

As Harry's plot continued to get stranger and stranger as it went, I started wondering what the point was of adding this arc to the series.  Was it just to show that audience how caring Harry was?  Was it to add some religious elements to the mix?  Whatever the reasoning, I found myself not caring in the least what happened to the new Paul, and his lovely friend.

Similarly, I was bored out of my mind whenever Lane was by himself worrying about his money situation. »

Read Every Line of Dialogue Rihanna Says in Battleship

19 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Rihanna's film debut is a memorable one. The Barbadian singer is wet for much of Battleship, her Navy uniform is uncommonly flattering, and the majority of her dialogue is composed of exclamations. It's a veritable master class in one-line utterances. Most of her lines fall into one of several categories: sassy ("Get up, princess!"), confused ("What the hell is that?") or surprisingly competent  ("Contact two miles out.") But enough of this. Let Rihanna speak for herself. "What's wrong with you drama queen? "Get up princess! Come on!" "Typical" "Shut up. Shut up." "Oh, this gon' be sweet. He hates the man." "You go mess with him and see what happens!" "Chicken!" "Kentucky Fried Chicken!" "You look like Colonel Sanders, actually." "Yo Saunders, ever been in a department run by some kind of Donald Trump/Mike Tyson mutant combo?" "Nothing, sir." "If you did, it was only in reference to »

Mike Tyson: 'One Man Show Is Like Therapy'

15 May 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Boxing legend Mike Tyson feels relieved after performing his one-man stage show, likening the confessional act to therapy.

The Hangover star headed to Las Vegas last month to debut The Undisputed Truth, a no-holds-barred account of his life story.

The autobiographical show, which Tyson will bring to Broadway next year, details his drug and alcohol addictions, psychotic episodes and even his penchant for Japanese prostitutes.

Tyson admits the deeply personal show has helped him learn more about himself and move away from his troubled past.

He tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "It's therapeutic to talk about what I've lived through in front of hundreds of people. And when you've been in rehab, you're very comfortable talking about yourself."

However, the former world champion admits he is reluctant to boast about his reform.

He adds, "I'm a major league relapse artist. I'll do two years (of sobriety) and then think, 'F**k it.'" »

24 April 2012 10:14 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Robert Rodriguez’ follow-up to exploitation hit Machete, was given the go-ahead late last year. The director (who c0-directed the film with Ethan Maniquis) promised another outing for Danny Trejo’s ex-Federale ‘Machete’ Cortez, who after being hired to kill a corrupt senator, is double-crossed. The all-star and cult film was born out of a mock trailer that was featured between Rodriguez and Tarantino’s experimental flop Grindhouse (released here in the UK as the individual features, Planet Terror and Death Proof).

Gibson is said to be in final negotiations to appear, although it has not been confirmed in what capacity. Rodriguez has also given an indication that he will this time, try and find »

Sheen Surprises His Attorney At Legal Event

19 April 2012 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Charlie Sheen surprised his high-powered Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer by giving a foul-mouthed speech in his honour at a prestigious bar association event this week (beg16Apr12).

Legal powerhouse Singer represented the actor in his multi-million dollar court battle with Warner Bros. bosses over his firing from hit sitcom Two and a Half Men last year, and Sheen returned the favour by appearing at the Beverly Hills Bar Association bash in California on Wednesday.

Sheen was a surprise speaker at the event, which crowned Singer entertainment lawyer of the year, and he roasted his pal with a series of explicit gags.

He told the audience, "Marty might be the only person who has f**ked more people than I have... A lot as been said about my past. But trust me, I never s**ewed a hooker as hard as Marty s**ewed Warner Bros. I've got 100 million reasons to say thank you."

Funnyman Tom Arnold hosted the event and poked fun at his own legal troubles with ex-wife Roseanne Barr, joking to the crowd, "My wife was a walking lawsuit. There were a lot of billable hours in that crazy b**ch."

Hollywood actress Sharon Stone was also among the speakers and she joked about her famous crotch-flashing scene in 1992 movie Basic Instinct: "You call Marty because you need someone like Mike Tyson in the Holyfield fight, when he bit his ear off. Marty is such a bad ass motherf**ker... If I had known him back when I was making Basic Instinct, I could have gotten Marty Singer to take that scene out of the movie."

A number of Singer's other famous clients were in the audience, including John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, Priscilla Presley, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who took part in a video tribute to the attorney along with fellow Hollywood tough guys Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone. »

The big blockbusters of summer 2013

17 April 2012 4:02 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

As The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises get set to do battle in the summer of 2012, what blockbusters are lining up for the summer of 2013…?

2012 marks, arguably, the biggest blockbuster showdown in recent years, with three major comic book franchises all going head to head. 2013 is a bit quieter in that regard, with just Superman and Iron Man, both with enough space to make a mark of their own.

In fact, the trend at the moment for summer blockbuster season 2013 is the end of the world to some degree. That’s along with the usual range of sequels, franchises and remakes. Here’s what’s currently in store, with dates based on Us planned release at the time of writing…

Blockbuster season 2013 kicks off not with a Marvel project, as has been the case the past few years, but with a Tom Cruise movie. Cruise, since »

Mike Tyson: It's A Disgrace Zimmerman Hasn’t Been Shot

12 April 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

My personal feeling is that, as a young kid that was beat on by a bully, the guy [Zimmerman] stalked him and didn't follow instructions from a superior officer. But my all-around perspective, I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. Even though this is the best country in the world, certain laws in this country are a disgrace to a nation of savages. It's a majority versus a minority. That's the way God planned it. He didn't want to do something about it, He wanted us to do something about it. We have to continue tweeting, we have to continue marching, we have to continue fighting for Trayvon Martin. If that's not the case, he was killed in vain, and we're just waiting for it to happen to our children. It's a disgrace that man hasn't been dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away. »

Tyson Turned Off By Ex-wife's Pitt Date

4 April 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Boxing champ turned movie star Mike Tyson has sensationally revealed he found out about ex-wife Robin Givens' romance with Brad Pitt during an early morning booty call to her home.

The mismatched former couple had a tempestuous marriage, dogged by reports of domestic abuse and brawls, but Tyson admits he was still fond of the actress after they split.

And one morning he plucked up the courage to go to Givens' new home in Hollywood in the hope of reconciling with his ex.

He recalls, "During our crazy marriage, I'm saying, 'You're a thief, you're a gold digger,' and (she's like), 'You're an abuser, you beat me up!' but... I was just a young kid and I missed my wife.

"I go to the house, I ring the buzzer and no one's there. I go back to my car... and she drives up... with the handsome Brad Pitt. I thought, 'Oh man, I'm not gonna get no p**sy. F**k!'"

Recalling that moment on U.S. TV show Conan on Tuesday, Tyson admitted he was so upset he didn't even have the will to challenge Pitt: "I was just emotionally comatose; I went from a hard stallion to a wet noodle... I had no energy to fight or anything."

Tyson and Givens were married for just over a year, from 1988 to 1989. »

4 April 2012 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Former boxer Mike Tyson has revealed he once dodged a DUI arrest after police pulled him over while his was driving high on cocaine - because they were big fans.

The Hangover star made the confession during an appearance on U.S. late night show Conan on Tuesday, recalling the cops even agreed to take him to his drug dealer's house.

Tyson said, "When they pulled me over, I said, 'It's over, man...!' But they (cops) said, 'Mike, that was awesome in The Hangover, that was great!' And I said, 'Excuse me, would you take me to this address, sir?'"

The sportsman also revealed he didn't have his driving licence with him at the time - but the officers didn't ask for any form of identification.

He added, "The cops took me to the drug house... and the people in there are freaking out... He (cop) takes me in there and then he starts reprimanding the guy at the house to make sure I get home."

Tyson admits he had a long walk home after the incident because everyone at the house left as soon as the cops drove off and he was left alone and lost. »
