The Voice Season 4 Finale Recap: They're All Stars Tonight [Updated]

18 June 2013 8:12 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »

If I were back in Catholic grade school, I suspect Sister Mary Rita would’ve kept me after class and sentenced me to a half hour at the chalkboard this afternoon, writing: “It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice. It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice. It does not matter who wins Season 4 of The Voice.”

And Sister Rita, smart cookie that she was, would’ve had a point. After Monday night’s Live Finals, the Top 3 acts — Michelle Chamuel, Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers — all managed to land two songs apiece in the iTunes Top 10 Singles chart. »

You Are What You Play With: How Sesame Street and Legos Generated a Generation

18 June 2013 5:35 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »

For a man or woman of a certain age, it's hard to imagine a single commercial or non-profit venture having had more of an impact on one's psychological maturation than Legos or Sesame Street. Yet even today's youth might say the same thing: In 2013, we have Lego-based television shows (Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and Legends of Chima, both on the Cartoon Network), Lego-based video games (more than forty-six so far, including sequences based on Lego Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Indiana Jones sets), and even a forthcoming feature-length film (The Lego Movie, due out in 2014 and starring the voice-acting talents of Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Will Arnett). Meanwhile, Sesame Street, now in its forty-fifth year of broadcasting, remains ubiquitous in the lives of millions of American children. In short, it would be difficult to name two cultural touchstones more worthy of being written about by pop-culture critics, »

Comedy Legend Passes Away At 90

18 June 2013 5:33 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Chicago — Comedy fans know the names – John Belushi, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Joan Rivers – but before those famous faces graced Hollywood movies or the "Saturday Night Live" stage they were discovered by Bernie Sahlins, co-founder of The Second City.

Alumni of the Chicago comedy club spent Monday remembering Sahlins, who died Sunday at age 90, as an innovator who along with business partners Howard Alk and Paul Sills opened the theater in December 1959. It quickly gained national attention and helped establish Chicago as a vibrant comedy town.

"Bernie was absolutely crucial in the formative years of Second City, as important a figure as it's ever had," said comedian and actor Robert Klein, who went on from Second City in 1965 to star on television series and in movies.

Second City caught on within months of opening, despite some early money problems and other issues. It became instrumental in the growth and development of improvisational and sketch comedy. »

12 June 2013 11:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Washington -- The White House receives politicians, dignitaries, celebrities and other well-known figures on a daily basis. It usually doesn't post Vine videos of those visits.

The White House tweeted out a Vine of everyone's favorite sugar-fiend, the Cookie Monster, peeking and waving from behind a pillar.

Cookie Monster was visiting on serious business. Wednesday, the White House hosted a panel on the issues facing kids of incarcerated parents. "Sesame Street" head writer Joey Mazzarino moderated.

D.C.'s bakeries must be great -- this isn't Cookie Monster's first visit to the nation's capital this spring. In May, the blue creature was at the Rayburn House Office Building to join lawmakers for a Uso event. »

The Smurfs 2 Set Visit: Neil Patrick Harris Returns as Patrick Winslow!

11 June 2013 10:10 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

We visit the set of The Smurfs 2 with Neil Patrick Harris and Brendan Gleeson, in theaters this August

We pick up our set visit on The Smurfs 2 in lovely Montreal, with the primary scene we've come to observe. Gargamel's (Hank Azaria) lair, moat and all, is the setting of the climactic showdown as our heroes, Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Victor (Brendan Gleeson) rescue The Smurfs. I reiterate from the first article how incredibly detailed and intricate this set is. The production design and sets on The Smurfs 2 are amazing. You can't help but feel like a kid surrounded by this fantasy environment. The Smurfs 2 is Sony's sequel to the The Smurfs with Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, and Jayma Mays returning as the primary leads.

As we waited for Brendan Gleeson to finish a shot, we were introduced to another costar of the film, a couple of cute ducks. »

Well Known Character Actor in Talks to Join Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar

11 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

We’ve been reporting the slow flow of casting news surrounding Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, a movie about a “heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding.” So far we have Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine on board for the project.

Now, beloved character actor Bill Irwin has joined the crew according to The Wrap. He’s well know for dozens of movies (including How the Grinch Stole Christmas) and television shows (Life on Mars), but when my husband reads this he will shout Mr. Noodle! (Sesame Street) as we always do when we spot him in a new movie. His facial expressions are priceless and I cannot wait to see what he will bring to this new movie.

We’ll keep you posted on the latest for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin and Michael Caine »
