Working Title has tapped screenwriter Jon Croker ("The Woman in Black 2") to bring Enid Blyton's "The Famous Five" to the screen again, in the first live-action adaptation since the 1970s, when it aired as a TV series on Britain's ITV. (The Children's Film Foundation made two films based on the books, in 1957 and 1964, and an animated series set in the present aired in 2008.) The 21-book series, published between 1942 and 1963, follows an adventurous tomboy, Georgina—who prefers "George"—her dog, Timmy, and her three cousins as they swill ginger beer, search for lost treasure, and chase criminals while on holiday in the British countryside. (The "Famous Five" stories have much more in common with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys than they do Harry Potter, where Croker cut his teeth as an assistant to "Goblet of Fire" director Mike Newell.) Working Title's plans stand out in the crowded Ya marketplace,...

Ladies, gentlemen, and children of all ages – this is the Supernatural I love. This is the Supernatural that make you say “aw” and laugh and then stabs you in the heart until you cry and forget that you ever “aw-ed” or laughed.
I know I’ve said this before but no other episode this season has come as close to capturing the “good ol’ days” as this one has. Now, that doesn’t mean the story was perfect or the most engaging over, and it certainly doesn’t mean that it was the most entertaining hour of television in recent memory, but it was a fantastic case-of-the-week, just-us-two-against-the-world, grave-digging, salt-and-burning, standalone episode that could easily been inserted into the earlier seasons and it would have fit right in. I mean, they dug up a grave and then salt and burned some bones… do you realize how long it’s been since we’ve seen that?...

God, I love episodes with flashbacks. And Tuesday’s episode of Supernatural is a perfect example of why.
In “Bad Boys,” we traveled back into Winchester history to a two-month period during which 16-year-old Dean Winchester found himself living in a home for troubled boys run by an ex-con named Sonny after being caught stealing bread and peanut butter from a local market. (Dean had lost the food money their dad left them in a card game and had resorted to stealing so that Sam wouldn’t go hungry.)
During this time, which we learned was something Dean and his...

The X Factor's nail-biting elimination round got even more tense on Wednesday night when judge Paulina Rubio admitted she'd made a mistake and had second thoughts about a contestant she'd booted from the show. With the Over 25s and Girls teams decided last week, Rubio's Boys were performing for their chance to make it to the live shows. In a dramatic double-switch, Rubio initially sent home the painfully shy but vocally powerful Tim Olstad - who sang Miley Cyrus's "The Climb" - but then called him back, saying she'd been wrong, and had him take a seat in her final four chairs.

It’s Paulina Rubio‘s night to choose who will make it to the Four Chair Challenge, and Simon Cowell begins on the Groups! Do you like her final four choices and his picks so far, HollywoodLifers?
Guys Group On ‘The X Factor’: Who Advanced?
Since Demi Lovato and Kelly Rowland have already chosen their top four picks for their respective Girls and Over 25 groups, it’s down to the Guys and Groups. Guys first!
Al Calderon‘s performance of a strange dubstep version of “Call Me Maybe” reminded me of a terrible singing audition scene in a movie where that person is obviously going to get...

Paulina Rubio (Code name: “Still No Idea Who That Is”) finally got her Big Moment on The X Factor tonight. The occupant of the Britney Spears Chair of English Manglage and Barely Formed Thoughts has shone especially dim during her Season 3 tenure — particularly sitting alongside the high-wattage wit and wisdom of Kelly Rowland and the scrappy sparkle of Demi Lovato.
Unfortunately for Pow-leena (as host Mario Lopez prefers to overemphasize it), the Big Moment probably didn’t resemble what she and her management team had envisioned when she hopped aboard Fox’s second-most-popular reality singing competition (out of two).

Did your favorites make it into one of the final four groups? See who’s sailing through to the next round and weigh in!
With just one week until “The Four-Chair Challenge” — you know, that thing that sounds suspiciously like something you might see on The Voice – the judges were under a lot of pressure to narrow down the competition on the Sept. 26 episode of The X Factor. And narrow they did! Simon Cowell and the gang hand-picked 10 contestants to be in each of the show’s four categories, but as we saw, making those decisions was no easy task.
Girl (Group) Power
The evening kicked off with Glamour, a trio of tweens that decided to sing the National Anthem for some ungodly reason. The girls’ voices were good, and they made it through, but seriously… the National Anthem? That was one performance I did not salute.
A second female trio followed,...

Novelty acts, not-as-funny-as-you-think fame-seekers and the mentally/emotionally unstable, your time is up!
The X Factor‘s Season 3 auditions have come to their inevitable end, making way for something called “The Four-Chair Challenge.” (Cue a Christina Aguilera side-eye as she realizes this phrase sounds like what happens when all four coaches press their buttons during The Voice audition rounds. We’re with you on this one, Xtina, even if the X Factor’s new substitute for “Boot Camp” and “Judges’ Houses” has nothing to do with rotating seats or “blinds.”)
