"They were not attacked but [evidence] points towards being poisoned," said Sally Blackman, Rice's wife, in an interview with FoxNews. "[A]t this stage it is »

The ladies of The View are known for keeping it real. So when their ousted former cohost Star Jones returned to the show Wednesday, Barbara Walters cut right to the chase about Jones' 2006 controversial exit from the show… "Are we really going to go here Barbara?"

Exclusive: Disney is setting Edgar Wright to direct The Night Stalker, the remake of the ABC telepic and series that the studio is developing as a potential star vehicle for Johnny Depp to play intrepid tabloid reporter Carl Kolchak. Depp and his Infinitum Nihil partner Christi Dembrowski will produce. Wright, best known for directing Shaun of the Dead and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, comes aboard before the studio has set a writer, and he will oversee and shape the project with Depp and Dembrowski from the ground floor. As Deadline revealed, the film took root at the studio last summer, borne out of Depp and Dembrowski’s fond memories of the original 70s movie and series that starred Darren McGavin.

1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

The late producer, who did freelance work on the current season of The Amazing Race, was found dead Friday on the balcony of his hotel room in the Ugandan capital of Kampala. His assistant, Katheryne Fuller, was found unconscious but she's said to be recovering at an area hospital.

Can Metric's new album 'Synthetica' set new records for the band?
1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Metric's last album, 2009's "Fantasies," quietly sold millions of album worldwide, and those profits -- more than any other album in the Canadian band's history -- went largely and directly into their pocket. In fact, they grossed more for themselves from its sale than all their other their other records combined. That's because the band went the independent route when it came to releasing "Fantasies" outside of their home country; their own label Metric Music International got distribution from indie groups like Pias. The acclaim they earned for songs like "Help I'm Alive" helped propel them onto film soundtracks and movie »

Report: Uggie To Appear At Oscars After All
1 hour ago | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
A week after a report by Reuters claimed that Uggie was being snubbed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (no invitation to the red carpet or to the theater itself) and denied rumors that he would appear in a sketch with Billy Crystal, Deadline.com columnist Pete Hammond is reporting that the Jack Russell terrier has already taped his appearance with Crystal and that he is appearing on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show each night this week to predict the winners in the top categories. Meanwhile, one of Uggie’s trainers, Sarah Clifford, is complaining that his best scene in The Artist landed on the cutting-room floor. “There was a take in the scene where Jean holds a gun up to his head when Uggie actually reached out and tried to pull the gun out of his hand with his mouth. Uggie put his mouth on Jean’s hand and started pulling his hand,” Clifford told Reuters. “We were so stunned. He wasn’t told to do that by us. I cried like an idiot … I feel that because Jean was trembling, Uggie felt he was in danger and was truly trying to stop him hurting himself.” She added: “I don’t know why they didn’t use that take. I hope it makes the outtakes.” »
