Frank Oz: Muppets maestro discusses 'Little Shop of Horrors' and the remaking of his classics
15 May 2012 10:57 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
To the generation that grew up watching The Muppet Show, Frank Oz is the man behind Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear. To the Star Wars fanboys, he’s Yoda. To the under-10 set, he’s Bert and Cookie Monster. For lovers of musical theater, though, he’s the director who brought a nerdy florist and his bloodthirsty plant to toe-tapping life on the big screen. Little Shop of Horrors — a 1986 adaptation of the Off-Broadway show based on a Roger Corman film of the same name — holds a special place in our hearts for the music of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman »

Beth Ditto Thinks Lady Gaga's Music is Iconic to Younger Generation
11 May 2012 11:09 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »
Gossip singer Beth Ditto thinks Lady Gaga is important to ''five year olds''. The musician is a fan of the pop superstar but she doesn't think her songs can ever have as much of an impact on her adult fans as they do on children because it's completely new to the younger generation. She told Bang Showbiz: ''I think her music is for five year olds. Like when I was five, for me it was Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. Those people were iconic. ''I'm 31 so that was like 26 years ago. I think that for the five year old watching MTV right now Lady Gaga is going to be an iconic person. In 20 years, the people who are here and talking to journalists will be like, 'Oh Lady Gaga changed my life, Nicki Minaj changed my life.' They'll be saying who influenced them and it will be Lady »

"American Idol" Loser Memorial: Did Periwinkle Princess Survive?
11 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Brace yourself, because it pains me to revisit last night's American Idol: Even though the Top 4 is a quartet of major talent and power, some of these kids hurt for victory more than the others. It's hard not to root for the hurting troubadours, you know? Hollie Cavanagh and Jessica Sanchez seem like they're clawing for recognition while the dudes receive mammoth amounts of adulation every single week -- and that's regardless of how well they do. (I'm still recovering from Phillip Phillips' "Time of the Season.") But did justice kick in on Thursday night's results? Scroll down to see the eliminated contestant and our memorial.
Periwinkle Princess went out in periwinkle! This girl is a clear AfterElton devotee. Holler, Hollz!
Legacy: While Hollie didn't begin the competition as one of the standout "star" types, she evolved into an empowered (and embattled!) torch singer who slayed us with "The Climb, »

PopWatch Confessional: What's Your go-to song for a dance party of one?

Fair warning, don’t click through if you don’t want to hear a Spoiler from New Girl’s finale. Last night’s season-ender centered on whether Nick (Jake Johnson) would vacate the loft to live with his on-again girlfriend Caroline. After packing up the moving van and taking all the roommates on an odyssey of togetherness, everyone returned home to the loft without Nick. But then! Nick returned and with a fitting fanfare: AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long.” The roommates each rocked out in their respective rooms, and it was a wonderful close to a strong first season. »

Morning Meme: Mark Wahlberg's Underwear Walk, John Travolta Sued, and Going Gay For Pay On "Gigolos"
7 May 2012 4:53 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Mondays suck. So that's why we're grateful that Mark Wahlberg chose to parade around on his hotel balcony in just a pair of black briefs to liven up the day.
Marc Jacobs has designed shirts for his kids line for children with two mommies or two daddies. "If dad says no ask dad" is the perfect gift for the modern family.
In honor of Mother's Day, Vanity Fair's Brett Berk tries to convince us that some minivans are cool. He didn't succeed with me, but nice try.
No, Fox News, the dinosaurs did not fart themselves to extinction.
Not only did NBC pick up Ryan Murphy's The New Normal, they also picked up the Jj Abrams thriller Revolution about survival in a world where all forms of energy have ceased to exist, and the Anne Heche Save Me, in which she thinks God is speaking through her. Late last »

Morning Meme: "Avengers" Rakes It In, Mark Deklin Strives for "Gay-Fit," and Eli Manning Dons a Dress On "SNL"

Josh Dixon is half-African-American, half-Japanese, a Stanford graduate, adopted, and a likely Olympic gymnast. He also just came out publicly as gay in a great interview at Outsports. He says that being gay in the sport has been met with a shrug by his teammates, and we couldn't be happier to have a new out world-class athlete.
The list of records The Avengers broke this weekend is nearly endless, with $200.3 million in U.S. box office, the fastest film to reach $200 million, biggest domestic opening ever, and the highest Saturday ever. It's now pulled in $641.8 million worldwide, and has to help ease the pain of John Carter at Disney, sadly too late to save out studio head Rich Ross, who was fired last week.
In sad news, George Lindsay, most famous for playing Goober on The Andy Griffith Show, has passed away at the age of 83.

A little horseplay before Saturday's big race at the Kentucky Derby? With no sign of his recent companion, Mila Kunis, at his side, Ashton Kutcher made it a boys' night out at Friday's Barnstable Brown Party, Louisville's most elite and swanky Derby Eve celebration - where he also patched up a simmering feud with Miranda Lambert. Having formerly accused the Two and a Half Men star of making fun of country music when he presented her with the Female Vocalist of the Year award at last month's Academy of Country Music Awards, Lambert posed for a friendly picture with Kutcher at Friday night's soiree, »

Glee's Brad Buecker To Direct 80's-Set Musical Time After Time
4 May 2012 8:26 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Fox's musical dramedy Glee has travelled back in time in the figurative sense, as the singing high school characters dabble in the works of beloved artists or musical styles of yesteryear. But from the sound of Lionsgate-Summit's project Time After Time, actual the musical genre will be merged with actual time travel, and there's a tie-in to Glee, as Brad Buecker has been tapped to direct the film. Deadline shared the news today that Buecker will direct the musical, which was written by playwright Brian Yorkey. If hearing the title Time After Time has resulted in a Cyndi Lauper song playing in your mind, you're probably on the right track, as the story follows a teenage girl who ends up stuck in the 1980's and befriending her mother. Deadline mentions that Yorkey is currently doing a rewrite, so that premise may or may not be tweaked a bit. Buecker's directing »
Anna Paquin Defends Bisexuality
4 May 2012 1:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Anna Paquin has hit back at critics who suggest bisexuality is "made up", insisting gender has nothing to do with who she falls in love with.
The actress went public with her sexual orientation in 2010 as part of an awareness campaign for Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund, which fights for the rights of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (Glbt) community.
Paquin insists she has no regrets over the revelation, and wants to clear up misconceptions of being attracted to both sexes.
She tells Zooey magazine, "I'm sure for some people saying they're bisexual feels less scary than making a statement that they're gay.
"For me, it's not really an issue because I'm someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It's not made up. It's not a lack of decision. It's not being greedy or numerous other ignorant things I've heard at this point.
"For a bisexual, it's not about gender. That's not the deciding factor for who they're attracted to."
Paquin is currently expecting her first child with her husband, True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer. »

The Voice Semifinals Results: 60-40 I Forget The Whole Thing
1 May 2012 9:41 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
In comparison to Monday's semifinals, there was very little Christina Aguilera on tonight's The Voice Results. That made me happy, but it probably disappointed the loyal Xtina lovers, which includes many of you TV Fanatics.
With some help from the coaches, America whittled the remaining crop of hopeful artists from eight to four, preparing us for what should be an exciting finale next week. Who made it through? Who was sent home? And which former finalist returned with the best performance of the night?
That's right. Before we got to all of the results, there were a few performances by some friendly faces. Last season's final four, Dia Frampton, Vicki Martinez, Beverly McClellan, and Javier Colon were in the house to belt out some tunes.
Dia sang with Kid Cudi, Vicki performed with her former coach Cee Lo, Beverly rocked out with Cyndi Lauper and Javier worked solo. I wasn't »

Guitarist Who Performed The 'Theme From Shaft' Dies
1 May 2012 9:32 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nashville, Tenn. — Charles "Skip" Pitts, the longtime Memphis guitar player for Isaac Hayes whose distinctive sound helped define soul and make "Shaft" cool, has died. He was 65.
Tim Sampson, communication director with the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, said Pitts died Tuesday in Memphis after a long struggle with cancer.
Pitts was responsible for the unforgettable wah-wah pedal guitar sound on Hayes' "Theme from Shaft," the `70s Blaxploitation film that remains a memorable moment in American popular culture – mostly due to the enduring popularity of the song. Pitts' 1971 riff was angry and bristling with menace, capturing a dangerous vibe that transcended the screen and translated to the streets of a tense nation.
He also was responsible the guitar line from The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing," also a distinctive, influential moment in American music.
