You have to know the name "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase. In the '80s, he rose to fame in the World Wrestling Federation as one of the greatest villains ever, flaunting his riches so openly, his stunting makes the Birdman looks shy.
Two decades later, the Dibiase name is back atop the wrestling game. Dibiase's son, Ted Jr., is part of the WWE's top faction of bad guys, the Legacy (along with third-generation former champ Randy Orton and the son of Dusty Rhodes, Cody). On Sunday, the Legacy led their team into the Survivor Series — against Miami's own Mvp, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry and others — in an old-school elimination match.
In December, young Dibiase stars in "The Marine 2," the sequel to the 2005 John Cena-starring flick. »

The Marine 2 Proves That Any Movie Can Have a Sequel
10 November 2009 8:10 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Who knew that the John Cena action extravaganza “The Marine” was popular enough to warrant a sequel? Not this guy, apparently. Cena, however, has moved on to greener pastures, allowing another WWE star to take the reins. Seeing as how I’m not a wrestling fan, the name Ted Dibiase does absolutely nothing for me. He must be a bankable guy, as he’s landed the lead role in “Pistol Whipped” director Roel Reiné’s follow-up to the mildly popular 2006 actioner. The aforementioned Dibiase stars as a highly-trained recon sniper who must save a gaggle of vacationers from a band of savage terrorists. A sequel that has nothing to do with the original? Imagine that! According to the chaps at Film Junk, the DVD will contain “behind-the-scenes featurettes, a profile of Ted Dibiase (including interviews with his dad and brother), plus deleted and extended scenes.” Not too shabby for a low-budget, »

Game Review: ‘WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010′ for XBox 360
6 November 2009 1:15 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
XBox 360 – Thq – $59.99
Score: 7.5
Thq brings back its yearly moneymaker WWE SmackDown vs. Raw with a revised visual look to the game and brand new Create-a-Story mode. Since its inception on the Playstation in 2000, SmackDown has been an annual franchise that has continuously worked to improve itself with updated graphics, gameplay, new match types and, most importantly, user customization.
Taking pages from some real life WWE programming in its story mode while keeping as up to date a roster as possible with each iteration, there is an instant appeal for sports entertainment fans to pick up this game and play out the role of their favorite superstar or their own custom creation.
Gameplay:
The gameplay of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is very similar to the previous years. Players move their wrestler with the left analog stick, use the right stick to lock up in to a grapple and use various combinations to perform specific moves. »

WWE Planning Old West Undertaker Origin Movie
4 November 2009 8:50 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
We’ve seen a lot of origin stories in the past few years – Wolverine just came out this summer, Magneto may or may not be happening, there is always Superman and of course Batman’s origin has been told several times. Heck, The Hobbit can even be considered an origin story. Ghost Rider was unfortunately given an origin movie that dated back to the old west. I’m a huge fan of Tremors and the 4th movie went back to the old west as well, for an origin story about the subterranean monster worm.
So I understand why studios and copyright holders want to make origin movies on comic book characters and even monsters, but I cannot for the life of me figure out this latest news coming from “wrastlin” news site Lords of Pain. WWE, in a bid to capitalize on one of their brands, is in the process »

Georgia Rule

Some directors bounce back from a roster of cinematic turkeys, but the combined effect of Cutthroat Island, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, and Driven seem to have invoked a "three strikes and you're out" rule for Renny Harlin. The onetime top director has spent the last few years making films like The Covenant and the John Cena starrer 12 Rounds, and he's now set Val Kilmer and Emmanuelle Chriqui to star in Georgia, a war film about last year's military conflict between Russia and Georgia. Which one of them is playing the explosion? [THR] »
Snoop Dogg Returns To The WWE Ring On 'Raw'
19 October 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
On tonight's episode of "Raw," World Wrestling Entertainment's flagship television program, they will welcome a very special guest host: Rapper/actor/entrepreneur/wrasslin' enthusiast Snoop Dogg. It's hardly Snoop's first foray into a WWE ring, as he was the "Master of Ceremonies" for a match at Wrestlemania 24 in 2008. (He also appeared on a few episodes of "Raw" leading up to that event.) In the past few months, the "Raw" show has welcomed various celebrity hosts, from Bob Barker to Seth Green to Shaquille O'Neal. Each one has played a different role, with some even getting involved in the in-ring action. While not a trained wrestler, Snoop is no stranger to violence in the squared circle: He delivered a segment-ending lariat to heel wrestler Santino Marella at Wrestlemania 24. Though Snoop's plans have been kept under wraps, it's certain that his nose for television and his ability to cut sharp, hilarious promos »

Steve Franks and Dule Hill Dish on Psych

The creator and star of the USA Network series talk about the new season
Characters are certainly welcome at the USA Network and in 2006 they introduced us to two very unique characters in Shawn and Gus with the hit series Psych, which is in the midst of its fourth successful season on USA with new episodes airing on Friday nights at 10 Pm Et. Two of the big reasons for the show's success are the involvement of creator and executive producer Steve Franks and star Dule Hill, who stars as Gus on the series. Franks and Hill recently held a conference call discussing this new season, and here's what they had to say.
Steve, what advice would you give to aspiring writers in the business?
Steve Franks: I can't believe I got the first question with Dule Hill on the line. Don't you guys know that there is a television star on this line? »

Based on a brilliant book by Neil Gaiman, Coraline is about a young girl that enters a parallel reality when she discovers a hidden door in her new home. In this world she encounters strange characters that help and hinder her journey back into real life.
Directed by Henry Selick of Nightmare Before Christmas fame, Coraline is another great-animated feature that has been released recently. It can sit proud alongside Pixar’s Up and Fantastic Mr Fox. Amazing visuals and a perfect script make this perfect viewing for the whole family. Highly recommended!

The Rock Confirmed to Visit 'SmackDown' Special
1 October 2009 1:13 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
It is now confirmed that The Rock will make a return to television by showing his face on MyNetworkTV's "SmackDown" 10th Anniversary. The wrestler-turned-actor's visit is the highlighted segment of the monumental event which is dubbed "Decade of SmackDown".
It is unclear, however, if The Rock will get inside the ring or simply appearing. For a fact, Triple H is also one of the featured guests on the show airing Friday, October 2 at 8/7c. The Rock, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, has a history together with Triple H since they were the first fighters featured on the show's debut episode.
Apart from The Rock, the special episode will also boast other fighters from SmackDown and Raw including John Cena, Sean Michaels, and The Undertaker. They will be involved in an eight-man tag match.
As part of World Wrestling Entertainment, "SmackDown" has been one successful franchise with more than 2.7 billion people in the U. »

The Marine 2 Trailer and DVD Release Date
30 September 2009 2:33 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The WWE has carved out a nice little niche for itself by casting wrestlers in low budget action movies that just barely break even in theatres. They do, however, make a heck of a lot more money on DVD, and for that reason alone, it makes sense that their next couple of projects are going direct-to-dvd. The Marine 2 is the sequel to the John Cena's 2006 film The Marine, but as you can probably guess, Cena now has better things to do with his time... like 12 Rounds 2. (Just kidding, that doesn't exist yet.) So instead they have turned this franchise over to a brand new action star: Ted Dibiase Jr., son of the one and only Million Dollar Man! The story has no connection with the first movie except for the fact that both main characters are marines. This one is based on the true story of a recon »

John Barrowman Edges Out Alexander Skarsgard In 'Captain America' Casting Poll!
28 September 2009 2:01 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Maybe it's some sort of "Field of Dreams" thing, but apparently if you ask who should play Captain America, they will respond. And by "they" I mean every-freakin'-one.
Clocking in as the most popular poll we've ever run on Splash Page, our query regarding who should play Steve Rogers in "The First Avenger: Captain America" not only received a lot of votes, but it also generated quite a bit of discussion. We posted our thoughts on who's best suited to fill the role, so now it's time to reveal who you chose to play Captain America.
In the end, it was a close race between "Torchwood" star John Barrowman and "True Blood" actor Alexander Skarsgard—but Captain Jack Harkness prevailed, and Barrowman landed at the top of the tally with 36 percent of the total votes. Here's how the rest of the poll panned out, and a sampling of readers' explanations »

Kanye West Probably Won't Join WWE, But He Should
22 September 2009 2:46 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Plenty has gone down in the wake of Kanye West's stage-crashing incident at the MTV Video Music Awards: Kanye issued multiple apologies, vanished from the blogosphere (only to reappear) and though he said he was going to take some time off appears ready to soldier on with his tour with Lady Gaga. One of the wackier rumors that has come out of the past week was the idea that West has received an offer from WWE to make some appearances and do some "light wrestling." While the rumor doesn't have any real substantiation and has been swatted down by people in the WWE, the idea of Kanye stepping into the squared circle, cutting a few promos and perhaps getting into a feud or two (perhaps with erstwhile rapper John Cena?) is simply too awesome. If WWE hasn't made Kanye an offer, Kanye should go ahead and offer up his services. »

Britney Spears Takes Me To The Circus
26 August 2009 9:31 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »
Last night, I did something I never thought I would do: I left the office, took the subway to Madison Square Garden and showed my ticket to an usher so that I could be let into the Britney Spears concert, the second of her three Circus stops in New York this week. The idea was to get the perspective of somebody not used to big spectacles, and I walked away educated and confused but — ultimately — pleasantly surprised.
Not only had I never seen Britney Spears live, but I also have very little experience with giant pop shows or even arena acts. I've lived in New York for 10 years and have been to Madison Square Garden countless times for basketball games, but prior to last night the only concerts I had ever seen there were R.E.M., AC/DC and an ill-advised Barenaked Ladies show (that one was for a »

'Raw' celebrity guest hosts: Must-see train wrecks?
18 August 2009 11:54 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Sure, we laughed with (or at) Jeremy Piven, but celebs are seriously lining up to guest host WWE's Monday Night Raw. According to Variety, the show has already scheduled upcoming spots for Bob Barker, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Nancy O'Dell, boxer Floyd Mayweather and the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James. Stars in talks for hosting gigs are said to include: Rachael Ray, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, Jimmy Fallon, Woody Harrelson, Ashton Kutcher, Danny DeVito, Serena Williams, the Osbournes, Mc Hammer, and Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson. Now, I can sorta understand the appeal of doing this show. It's the kind of spectacle everyone should see at least once, and, perhaps like last night's host Freddie Prinze Jr., some of these people have been lifelong fans. But I really don't want to have to tape it every week just so I can watch the ridiculous of someone having to suffer through an opening bit (oh, »

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review
7 August 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
G.I. Joe, where have you been all summer? Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and X-Men Origins: Wolverine failed to deliver the kind of mindless, entertaining fun that summer so often brings while everything else outside of Star Trek has been more concerned with being artistic than enjoyable. It’s strange, scribing those sentences and the ones that will be written considering all the bashing and hate I’ve spewed toward Stephen Sommers ever since he poisoned humanity with Van Helsing. He picked the right year to finally make a decent film; Sommers not only beat, but destroyed Michael Bay at his own game. Yes, as much of a shock as this will be to some of you, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is not the worst film ever made. In fact, it’s the G.I. Joe movie one imagines when playing with action figures as a boy. »
