Don't call it a comeback, but it looks like Jane Fonda is ready to get back to work. The actress/fitness guru/activist hasn't been entirely idle on the big screen in the past ten years, but she hasn't been Jessica Chastain either. Back in 2005, Fonda co-starred in the Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy "Monster-in-Law," Fonda's first acting role in 15 years. Despite being hated by critics, the film was a box office success, and seemed to herald Fonda's return to acting. However, after 2007's "Georgia Rule," Fonda disappeared again only to reappear years later with three projects: the comedy-drama "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding," a recurring role on Aaron Sorkin's HBO series "The Newsroom," and, last month, Fonda was cast as Nancy Reagan in Lee Daniels' "The Butler." The excellent trailer for "The Newsroom" arrived earlier this month, and now the first trailer for "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding" has been revealed by Yahoo! »

The Emmy derby is about to get a massive A-list shake-up when HBO's original film "Hemingway and Gellhorn" makes its long-awaited debut Monday, May 28. The film screens out of competition at the Cannes filmfest the week before.  Golden Globe winner Clive Owen ("Closer," 2004) and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman ("The Hours," 2002) lead an all-star cast that includes Oscar champ Robert Duvall ("Tender Mercies," 1983), Emmy victor David Strathairn ("Temple Grandin," 2010), SAG Drama Ensemble nominee Molly Parker ("Deadwood," 2007) and three-time Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub ("Monk," 2003, 2005, 2006). The star appeal of its cast should give "Hemingway & Gellhorn" some major Emmy attention when nominations are announced July 19. However, when HBO recently confirmed with Gold Derby all of their acting submissions for the year, Duvall was a notable omission. Gold Derby's »

So after leaving long term label Geffen, releasing a wonderfully nostalgic live recording of their first album August and Everything After (on both audio and video formats), Counting Crows are finally back with something new. Well kinda. Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation) is a covers album, largely of songs the band have done in their live shows and even more underwhelmingly a number of tracks that have been on B-sides or bonus tracks on their albums over the years. Anyway, I’m not going to dwell on the feeling that a covers album is always a signifier of a band on the brink of disappearing forever because I don’t want to think that of a band I’ve loved for a long while, so I’ll dive straight into the album instead.
