Alec Mapa Puts on a Show in “Showville” and Andy Roddick, Sports Host

2 hours ago | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

News

In a rather surprising development, Amazon plans to start selling fanfic. Really. The online retailer will let fanfic writers sell their Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars or Vampire Diaries-inspired stories and keep a portion of the sale. All three series are based on books brought to TV by Alloy Entertainment and Amazon says its working to get more properties into the mix. Now, anyone knows if they’ve banned crossovers? It would be fun to see how “A” and Gossip Girl would react to each other.

Andy Roddick will join Fox Sports Live, Fox Sports’ equivalent of SportsCenter, as a co-host.

Why aren’t there more hosting gigs that include moments of shirtlessness?

It’s taken nearly a year, but TLC has picked up the Bukudroos-produced celebrity genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are?. The new season will include episodes focusing on Zooey Deschanel, Chris O’Donnell and Christina Applegate. »

Fatima Ptacek Interview: The 'Dora The Explorer' Audition She Didn't Know She Had

17 hours ago | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »

Starting out as a commercial model, Fatima Ptacek probably never thought she'd one day be the voice of an iconic animated character while attending the Oscars in the very same year. At only 12 years old, Ptacek has performed in the Oscar-winning 19 minute short Curfew written and directed by Shawn Christensen, and is currently the voice of Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer

We recently caught up with Ptacek, as she revealed what it was really like to attend the Oscars and after parties, what it was like to film a Sesame Street with a very special guest, and how she was shocked to find out about landing Dora without even auditioning--well, sort of. 

When did you know you wanted to be an actor?

I was told when I was younger, 5, people were constantly telling me that I had a great personality, I was super outgoing, and so when I finally had the »

19 May 2013 6:10 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Los Angeles, May 20: Australian director Baz Luhrmann regrets leaving the opportunity to direct the first edition of "Harry Potter" franchise because he was busy with something else.

In "Kill your Darlings," slated for release later this year, Daniel Radcliffe plays Allen Ginsberg, who befriends writers William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac while in college.

“I was doing a gay sex scene and the director was giving step-by-step instructions," Radcliffe toward Norton, as quoted by Pink News. "And the favorite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, ‘Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!’"

Kinky Boots honored at Drama League, Michael Musto leaves The Village Voice, and Daniel Radcliffe discusses filming gay sex scenes

MTV has put together a page of 25 Things We Know About Teen Wolf as a teaser for the upcoming season, from a scene written by Dylan O’Brien to #24, “Danny will get a boyfriend…sort of — We’re not sure if Beacon Hills’ resident gay lax bro will find love, but Davis said he’ll at least get some action.”

Justin Beiber has officially forfeited the baby monkey that customs confiscated from him weeks ago when he failed to have the proper papers. The monkey will go to a sanctuary because of concerns that a zoo might exploit his tween star origins. But Beiber isn’t off the hook, owing thousands of euros for the monkey’s care, which German officials say “You can bet we are going to ask for that money back. »

Cannes 2013: The Bling Ring Review

16 May 2013 7:52 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars

Every young actor who builds a career in a huge franchise needs a transforming role to announce themselves as a “serious actor,” which almost counts doubly for the child and teen stars of both Twilight and Harry Potter. Some, like Robert Pattinson, have just about managed it – Daniel Radcliffe too – but others like Kristen Stewart and Rupert Grint are still unhappily tied to their first roles (despite Stewart’s best efforts.)

Now comes the turn of Emma Watson, all grown up from Harry Potter’s pompous brain-box Hermione Grainger and already with The Perks Of Being A Wallflower under her belt – which was good, but hardly too transformative – as she takes on a key role in Sofia Coppola’s Thief Girls Gone Wild tale The Bling Ring. She isn’t a main focus, but she’s very good, regardless of early problems with her accent, and »

Exclusive: Author Jake Adelstein Dishes Some Dirt On Tokyo Vice Movie

14 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Jake Adelstein has had quite an extraordinary life, as told in his book "Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter On The Police Beat in Japan" which chronicles his time as crime reporter for the famous newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. In addition to the fascinating and bizarre world of crime in Japan, Jake became heavily involved with the Yakuza to the point where his life and family were threatened. Having also spoken to Jake after reading his fantastic book (one of my favorite non-fiction novels), I was ecstatic to hear recent news that it was being made into a feature film with Daniel Radcliffe playing him as a younger man.
