Could 'Jurassic Park 4' Be A Reboot?
1 hour ago
As if we haven't already had enough back-and-forth on the ever-changing details surrounding "Jurassic Park 4," the plot thickens -- or doesn't, given the continued crypticness surrounding the movie.
Now Sam Neill, who starred as Dr. Allen Grant in "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic Park III," has reportedly told New Zealand's Dominion Post that he doesn't think he'll be asked to star in the dinosaur series' upcoming fourth entry and that -- brace yourselves -- he's told "it's a big reboot, a total re-jig."
Why Neill believes this to be true is unclear, as producer Frank Marshall reportedly said the sequel will not be a remake. Neill's remark seems to come as a one-off comment in a lengthy Dominion Post story centering on the actor. In it, Neill also confesses he has not seen the 3-D rerelease that hit theaters in early April.
Neill's remarks are the latest wrinkle in the influx »

Introducing The 'Halo' TV Show
1 hour ago
For years, director Steven Spielberg has been rumored as the one to finally bring Master Chief and the "Halo" universe to the big screen. While there's still no word on a "Halo" movie, how does the small screen sound?
During Microsoft's event announcing the Xbox One, the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker also revealed that Spielberg would be involved in the production of a live-action television series based on the world of "Halo," the Xbox's long-running first-person shooter franchise.
Bonnie Ross, studio head at "Halo" developer 343 Industries, spoke on stage about how the Xbox One's unique multimedia interactivity meshes well with Spielberg's style of storytelling. It was then that Spielberg -- who was also in the introductory video for the event -- echoed Ross' sentiment on the video board.
"For me, the Halo universe is an amazing opportunity to be at that intersection where technology and myth-making meet to create something really groundbreaking, »

13 Things Taylor Swift And Your Grandma Have In Common
1 hour ago
Taylor Swift is a 23-year-old superstar, but she might have more in common with your grandma than with an average college senior.
You'll be hard to find the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer out partying into the wee hours of the night. Instead, she likes making memes of her cat and watching "Law & Order." Oh, and she probably uses her great-grandmother as fashion inspiration -- not that there's anything wrong with that.
Taylor might be 23 going on 85, but she's still the most lovable, youngest grandma we know.
Here are 13 things Taylor and your grandma probably have in common:
1. They aren't afraid to dance like this -- even when everyone's watching.
2. They like the same board games and domesticated animals.
I shouldn't read into the fact that my family got me a new scrabble board (the one that swivels!) &cat treats for Christmas, right? Am I 85?

The Man All Your Friends Will Be Telling You About Very Soon
2 hours ago
-- Willy Moon, "Here's Willy Moon" (Cherry Tree/Island)
Willy Moon will soon be gyrating his way into your music collection. Fact.
His distinct features, tall frame, fancy footwork, dapper suits and infectious 1960s pop grooves make this New Zealander hard to miss. The 23-year-old's self-produced debut album, "Here's Willy Moon," is sharp and slick, much like Moon himself.
His album packs a punch, from his unique tone and string section on "Get Up" to surf guitars on "I Wanna Be Your Man." This is high energy rock `n' roll with a modern twist.
The real star here is the pop friendly "Yeah Yeah," which was used in ads for the iPod last year. If you're still sitting down after hearing this one, you need to see a doctor.
There's also the hip-hop-inspired "She Loves Me," and the David Lynch-esque "Murder Ballad" closes the show. At just under 30 minutes long, »

It's not everyday you see a celebrity strolling through Disneyland.
So when two fans spotted Vince Vaughn enjoying a day out at the amusement park with his family in Los Angeles, they freaked out.
No ... seriously, they lost it.
Vaughn was walking along with his pregnant wife Kyla Weber and their 2-year-old daughter Locklyn on May 20 when some girls recognized the funny man. (It's hard for Vaughn not to stand out in a crowd; he's 6 feet 5 inches).
Dressed in a buttoned-up blue shirt, jeans and sunglasses, Vaughn meandered past the two onlookers before they suddenly realized it was him.
Their faces say it all .... and the reaction was priceless.

A new "Dexter" Season 8 behind-the-scenes video goes in depth into some of the developments we saw in the intense full-length "Dexter" trailer Showtime released last week.
The new footage offers glimpses of new scenes from "Dexter's" upcoming final season and one major component of Season 8 will be Deb's struggle to come to terms with La Guerta's murder in last season's finale. "Dexter never meant to back her into choosing her brother over La Guerta," Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan) says in the video above. "I think she's going to be questioning whether she killed the right person probably for the remainder of her days," James Remar (Harry Morgan) adds.
"Deborah is hitting a low point, searching for her bottom," Jennifer Carpenter (Deborah Morgan) says in the video. The trailer showed Deb strung out on drugs, sleeping with a man who appears to be her dealer, getting arrested for a »

Goodie Mob is back with a new single.
The Southern hip-hop group released "Special Education" on Tuesday, a collaboration with Janelle Monáe. The 27-year-old singer takes the hook for the track, lending her vocals to the Atlanta vibe Goodie Mob is known for -- take a listen above.

Producer Tells Daft Punk Fans To Relax
2 hours ago
Diplo's a pretty entertaining Twitter user. He often sends out witty jokes and one-liners and posts Instagrams of women dancing in wild poses at his shows, lending some of his fans (and detractors) to see him as some sort of semi-vulgar performer.
In real life (shocker: the internet isn't always reflective of real life), though, Diplo is a dad and all-around nice, curious guy. He just has his own opinions, some of which he has to end up explaining in lengthy Facebook posts, like this one about Daft Punk.
Or, more specifically, about his tweets about Daft Punk. Last week, Diplo tweeted a number of jokes about "Random Access Memories," the new album from the disco/house/electronic/vintage/vocoder legends. He mused that it might "be really good to take drugs and listen to on a rainy bridge in Mexico" and said "these guys are way smarter than me »

Look: Lady Gaga's Heels Make Us Nervous
2 hours ago
Shouldn't you be recovering, Mother Monster!?
Lady Gaga was spotted wearing sky-high heels while out and about in New York City on May 15. Now, normally this choice of footwear wouldn't be too surprising for the 27-year-old pop star, but since she is technically still recovering from a painful hip injury, we're not sure the lace up, platform ankle boots were the right decision.
Gaga underwent surgery in February to deal with a labral tear on her right hip. She was forced to cancel the remaining dates on her Born This Way tour and was required to take six months off -- doctor's orders. Not to mention, she used a wheelchair to get around for the past three months or so.

Dunwoody, Ga. -- Police in suburban Atlanta say rapper Chief Keef, whose name is Keith Cozart, has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Dunwoody police spokesman Timothy Fecht says officers arrested Cozart after responding to a call about illegal drug activity at the Le Méridien hotel just north of Atlanta Monday afternoon. Fecht says officers saw smoke and smelled marijuana wafting from a room.
It wasn't immediately clear what Cozart was doing in Georgia. Representatives at his booking agency said they didn't have contact info for an attorney for the 17-year-old Chicago native and didn't know much about the incident.
Cozart was arrested in January and spent about two months in juvenile detention for violating probation on a weapons conviction. He had received probation for pointing a gun at police in 2012. »

And 10 years after the "Buffy" series finale, fans haven't gone anywhere.

New York — The Muppets may have taken Manhattan, but they're getting a spiffy new home in Queens.
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Bert and Ernie of "Sesame Street" fame, the stars of "Fraggle Rock" and other puppets, costumes and items from throughout Muppets creator Jim Henson's career have been donated to the Museum of the Moving Image, which is building a new gallery to house them, the institution announced Tuesday.
Encompassing almost 400 items ranging from original puppets to behind-the-scenes footage, the gift is a boon for the 25-year-old museum, which saw attendance skyrocket during a temporary exhibit in 2011 and 2012 of Henson's work. And it fulfills a cherished goal for Henson's widow and collaborator, Jane Henson, who died last month at 78.
"She loved the Muppet characters as though they were part of her own family," and the actual puppets themselves were very special to her, one of the couple's daughters, »
