Review: Bros will be bros in TBS' forgettable 'Men at Work'

23 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

The 2011-12 network TV season officially ends tonight at 11, right after the closing credits for "Revenge" and "Law & Order: Svu" have rolled. So for the next few months, the television business goes all "Freaky Friday," as the broadcast networks trot out their secondary programming — reality shows, imports and other low-cost series — while cable breaks out some of its biggest guns. Tomorrow, for instance, brings the return of "So You Think You Can Dance" to Fox, and the debut of yet another singing competition show, "Duets," on ABC, as well as the third season premiere of ABC's cheap »

Which Glee Star Did The Best “Freaky Friday” Character Swap? Jenna Ushkowitz Weighs In

16 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »

[ video unavailable on this device ]

The second we saw Mark Salling and Cory Monteith dressed as Blaine and Kurt on last night’s Glee, some of us crossed our fingers that the whole two (!) hours would feature this silly stunt.

“It would have been a little bit of overkill [to swap characters for the whole episode],” Jenna Ushkowitz, whose character Tina set off the whole “Freaky Friday” sequence, told VH1 Celebrity this morning, when she stopped by for Big Morning Buzz Live. We were thrilled to see Tina get to show off her chops in full Rachel diva-mode, even if it was all just a dream, and hope that the actress gets more to do as a senior at McKinley next season.

More than anything, all that role-switching seemed like a blast for the actors. So, who did Ushkowitz think had the most fun in someone else’s shoes? “I think that was Mark Salling,” she said of the actor who normally plays Puck. »

Crystal Bell: 'Glee' Recap: We Are The Champions

15 May 2012 9:06 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 3, Episodes 20 and 21 of Fox's "Glee," entitled "Props" and "Nationals," respectively.

"Glee" has never been perfect. In fact, this season, it's been far from it. But just when you count them out, the New Directions have a way of winning you over again. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I'm a gleek again.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the first hour of "Glee's" two-hour event, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the much-talked about role reversals were barely a fraction of the episode. I'm not saying that it wasn't fun to see Finn rock Kurt's stylish cape collection, and to see Tina put on a pait of knee-high socks and belt out one of my favorite Celine Dion songs, but I was glad that segment only lasted a mere 10 minutes. I don't think I could have taken anymore of Kurt's creepy Finn. »

‘Glee’ Season 3, Episodes 20 and 21, ‘Props/Nationals’: TV Recap

15 May 2012 6:50 PM, PDT | Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal | See recent Speakeasy/Wall Street Journal news »

It's Freaky Friday, and it's not even Friday yet. Tina, the "Props" girl of New Directions, hits her head at the mall fountain. After shaking off some water, she becomes Rachel. And she spends her day becoming a prima donna, instead of Glee's wallflower. The others, too, have embodied others. Puck's now Blaine. Finn is now Kurt. Will is now Coach Sue. Coach Sue is now Will. Finn is now Kurt. Santana is Artie. Artie is Santana.

More from the Dudes Group in New Clip from What To Expect When You’re Expecting

14 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee) returns behind the camera with an impressive ensemble cast in What to Expect when You’re Expecting, loosely based on the original bestselling pregnancy manual (‘loosely’ in that the manual is not a novel, it’s a manual).

A week ahead of its Us release, and two ahead of its UK, a new clip has debuted courtesy of Yahoo Movies in which we get a little more from the fathers of the film, self-proclaimed as the Dudes Group, continuing the push to appeal not just to the all-out female audience you might expect (no pun intended).

Rashida Jones & Olivia Colman Feel The 'Cuban Fury'; Jackie Robinson Biopic '42' Adds John C. McGinley & More

7 May 2012 11:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

One of the biggest compliments one could give to the Apatow-era of comedy is the development of talent, often very young and unheralded, from all around the world. Take, for instance, the international ensemble for "Bridesmaids" which featured Americans (Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper), Brits (Matt Lucas, Chris O'Dowd) and Australians (Rose Byrne, Rebel Wilson) side-by-side.

It's something we're seeing reflected in casts more regularly nowadays with Rashida Jones following the trend, heading to the U.K. to star in the dance-comedy "Cuban Fury" along with acclaimed "Tyrannosaur" star Olivia Colman. The two will star opposite Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd for the tale of a down-on-his-luck man (Frost) who reignites his long-dormant passion for salsa dancing after falling for his gorgeous American boss (Jones). Based on an idea by Frost, lensing begins in seven weeks with Big Talk Film, Studiocanal and Film4 backing what will be the directorial debut of James Griffiths ("Up All Night, »

Movie Review: Detention Is a Future Cult Classic

13 April 2012 8:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Fair warning: I am about to make Detention sound like either the most awesome or awful movie ever made, although it’s neither. Joseph Kahn’s frantic, deranged mash-up is being billed as a hip teen slasher movie, but it’s more like The Breakfast Club meets Donnie Darko. Meets Prom Night. Meets Back to the Future. With a bit of The Fly, Freaky Friday, and Kill Bill thrown in for good measure. And that doesn’t even begin to do justice to its fidgety, candy-colored aesthetic, which feels like a distillation of every music video and/or commercial ever made. Detention seems expressly designed for cult status and is certain to achieve it.And it works, for the most part, insofar as a film so determined not to work in all the usual ways can gel. Even though Kahn’s style goes into overdrive from the very first frame, »

Sabrina the Teenage Witch Getting a Live-Action Superhero Reboot

11 April 2012 8:34 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Sony Pictures is ready to both remind you of Sabrina the Teenage Witch and confuse the hell out of you if you think you remember Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The character introduced in the sixties via Archie comics (huh?!) and repopularized from 1996-2003 by Melissa Joan Hart's TV show (alright, back onboard, definitely remember that one) is "being recast as a superhero" in a live-action reboot that'll "be an origin story in the vein of Spider-Man, about a young girl coming to terms with her remarkable powers," Deadline reports. It'll also be "edgier" but still have Salem the smart-ass talking cat. Mean Girls and Freaky Friday helmer Mark Waters is in the mix and could potentially direct. Start your casting couch engines, folks, and don't say Elle Fanning, 'cause she's wicked busy. »

9 April 2012 7:25 AM, PDT | National Ledger | See recent National Ledger news »

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly sold a "truck load" of clothes in a bid to make some money.

Review: 'Detention' Is Like A Narrative, Peyote-Fueled Manga Adaptation Of 'I Love The 90s'

3 April 2012 11:57 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

What kind of movie is “Detention?”

In this film, a young actor named Parker Bagley plays Billy Nolan, a high school jock who hides the truth from friends and enemies about his own half-fly DNA. He vomits acid and his wings spring up at inopportune moments. Billy's spent a large portion of his childhood trying to hide his alien mutation by wearing a giant television set over his hand. At the midway point of the film, we realize Billy Nolan is only a supporting character, and his fate is, in many ways, irrelevant to the resolution of the film.

So yes, it’s that kind of movie. Or it’s the kind of movie that features a time-traveling bear. Or a movie that features a crucial moment where a character performs the “Dirty Dancing” choreography to a remix of “MmmBop.” It’s also a film where we realize one of »

Madhuri and Anil Make Peace

25 March 2012 3:09 PM, PDT | Bollyspice | See recent Bollyspice news »

Madhuri (Dixit) Nene and Anil Kapoor, two of the most successful actors of the Bollywood fraternity and one of the most sensuous couple who sizzled the big screen in the late 80′s and 90′s have decided to bury the hatchet between them and move on. Evidently, it was producer and director, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who stepped in as the arbitrator and sorted out their differences.

The couple which had one of the most sizzling chemistries on screen were not on good terms for over a year now; an aftermath of the Dhak- Dhak girl moving out of Anil’s desi version of Freaky Friday citing date reasons. Ever since then, the two of them haven’t been in touch.

Madhuri was offered to play Jamie Curtis Lee’s character for the remake of the 2003 comedy flick. Anil had a few other big names in mind for the role like Kirron Kher, »
