Doug Jones is a chameleon who quite literally disappears into his work.
With over 150 film credits in the last three decades, Jones has become a king of the screen, but you may never have seen his face. Essentially, he has the kind of anonymity many celebrities dream of.
“I get the best of both worlds, honestly,” Jones admitted to Et when we sat down to discuss his latest transformation in Guillermo del Toro’s monster romance The Shape of Water, which is now in theaters. “I get to be in major motion pictures for 30 years and I can go to Starbucks and no one knows who I am. That’s delightful. But also, when it’s announced that I am at Comic-Con or something like that and I’m being ‘Doug Jones’ that day and people know it, I get to play that card, too.”
The key to Jones’ facelessness lies in the fact that his face has...

Once upon a time there were two beautiful blonde princesses who happened to be best friends. Each princess was hilarious and quirky in her own right: One in a more deliberate and practiced sort of way, the other in a down-to-earth-i-just-burped kind of way. Separately they were forces to be reckoned with, but together they were unstoppable. Their friendship came out of nowhere: One minute the two princesses were each living their own separate and extremely successful lives, the next second they were sharing a jet ski and talking about writing a screenplay together. But once the people of the kingdom saw them together it just felt right. But then everyone began to wonder: What really happened to...

During an interview Monday on Andy Cohen‘s exclusive SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy, the Little House on the Prairie actress alleged Stone “humiliated” her while she was auditioning for the part of Pamela Courson in the film, which chronicles the career of the famous ’60s rock band and its lead singer, Jim Morrison.

Mandy Moore definitely won’t be a bridezilla.
“I don’t think I’m going to have a big, old affair. So think it will be small and quiet and private,” Moore told reporters at the Rape Foundation’s Annual Brunch in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday.
Moore, 33, recently got engaged to musician Taylor Goldsmith.
“I’m really lucky,” she said. ” My job allows me to get dressed up and take pictures and be the center of attention in a way that makes me slightly uncomfortable that I don’t know if I — I’ve never dreamed of emulating that in my real life.

Stephen Paddock — the gunman who opened fired on concertgoers in Las Vegas on Sunday night, killing at least 59 people and wounding more than 527 others — was the son of a notorious bank robber who spent nearly eight years on the FBI Ten Most Wanted list.
Benjamin Hoskins Paddock first garnered the FBI’s attention after he robbed two Arizona banks in three separate incidents in 1959 and 1960. He got away with $25,115 — about $210,450 in today’s dollars. The elder Paddock’s arrest was reported in the October 6, 1960 edition of the Arizona Republic.

Star Wars: Episode IX looked to be in dire trouble last week when it was announced that Colin Trevorrow had been removed from the movie by Lucasfilm. Luckily for the studio, they were able to coax J. J. Abrams back to helm the pic, after he’d steered The Force Awakens to become the third highest grossing film ever made. Despite the director being arguably the natural choice to wrap up this trilogy, a subset of fans have apparently been left fuming by his appointment.
One in particular, Matt Vela, has been driven to create an online petition that calls for Lucasfilm to remove Abrams from Star Wars: Episode IX. Vela’s argument hinges on the criticism by some fans that Force Awakens was a “rip off” of A New Hope in its overly similar plot and character beats. He also references the studio’s initial claim that each of...

Did departing Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter get in one last shot at the Trumps on his way out? First Lady Melania Trump was not included in the magazine’s International Best-Dressed List, and conservatives see it as a deliberate slight. The list includes former first couple Barack Obama and Michelle Obama alongside such stars as Rihanna, Harry Styles, Solange Knowles and LeBron James. But Donald Trump and Melania did not receive notice for their sartorial sensibilities. The Daily Caller wrote that it is “extremely bizarre” for Vanity Fair not to include Melania, who earned attention last week for boarding Marine One in high.

Trevor Noah trashed the online trolls that went after Melania Trump Tuesday for her choice of footwear when heading down to Texas. The First Lady of the United States initially boarded Marine One in high heels, which bothered a bunch of people. Apparently, the combination of her stilettos and the Trump’s Hurricane Harvey-decimated destination created a gigantic outcry. Here’s the thing though, fools: Mrs. Trump changed en-route, selecting white Adidas sneakers instead for arrival. Either way, Noah didn’t see the big deal.

Twitter freaked out on Tuesday when a photo taken of Melania Trump showed the First Lady boarding Marine One in high heels — en route to an area of the country that has been pummeled by Tropical Storm Harvey. People mistakenly assumed the First Lady was strolling through stormy Houston in her stilettos — or that she wouldn’t change outfits during the trip. But no, she was still in rainy Washington D.C. when the photo was taken, according to multiple accounts from journalists who were there. By the time she touched down in Texas, the First Lady was rocking white Adidas sneakers.

Have you ever seen a movie so bad, that as you were watching it, you paid less attention to what was going on and more to the fact that you’re still allowing your brain to process it? Have you ever seen a movie so bad that the longer you watch it, the more horrified and worried you become at the sheer size of the balls on the director and screenwriter? Like if they would go that far then what would they do next? I’m prepared to admit that in my exhaustive search to give you my opinions on some of the best Asian cinema out there…I have often come across the worst.
Now I too have seen the dark side. And its kung-fu is strong. One in particular that I just have to get off my chest is Tokyo Gore Police. I think a moment of horrified silence would be appropriate here.

In Monster Hunter: World, players gear up to seek and slay ferocious monsters in an incredible living, breathing ecosystem. They won’t be heading into battle unarmed though! Players can choose from 14 different weapon types based on their preferred playstyle and these can be changed mid-quest, depending on what the hunt demands. We have a sneak peek at the benefits and unique traits of the full arsenal in three new videos which demonstrate that there’s a vast range of unique weapons for players to choose from, whether they’re new to the hunt or already a seasoned veteran.
Each weapon type has a different overall playstyle and characteristics which are showcased in the videos. Swords and blades can be useful in cutting damage and executing fast paced attacks, impact weapons like hammers can cause high damage and stun opponents while ranged weapons such as bowguns allow you to attack beasts from afar.

With close to 30,000 attendees, a slew of brand sponsors, thousands of digital media, advertising, marketing, and entertainment industry executives, and over 300 featured creators—not to mention all the prominent creators who aren’t featured—the massive online video industry event that is VidCon is a fantastic, if not hectic, time and place to make some deals. But navigating the four-day event and making the most of the opportunities within isn’t something one can do with a lackadaisical attitude. It takes careful planning, plenty of caffeine, a keen business sense, and some social charm.
And perhaps few people do VidCon better than Andrew Graham.
VidCon 2017 marks five years of attending for Graham, who is truly an industry vet. Having worked as a senior talent manager at both Fullscreen and Big Frame, Graham has been at CAA since last April, managing talent like Connor Franta (with whom he and Jeremy Wineberg...

National Geographic has announced who its next “Genius” might be, and the choice moves the ongoing drama series from the world of science to art.
Following its well-received exploration into the life of Albert Einstein, Season 2 will dig into the complex life of artist Pablo Picasso. The artist, who lived from 1881 to 1973, is famed for his skewed looks at the world, which surrounded him created not just a lifetime’s work of unforgettable art – but an entire movement that made us reassess what art could be.

“Genius” is executive produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, the latter of whom directed the first episode of Season 1. Executive producer and showrunner Ken Biller will return for Season 2.
There is no official word yet as to who will play Picasso, but in the first season of “Genius,” Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Flynn played the older and younger versions of Einstein (respectively). Producers said they plan to court a similar level of talent for the next season.
Prior to “Genius,” on screen Picasso has been portrayed on screen about 40 times, with portrayers including Marcial Di Fonzo Bo in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” and Anthony Hopkins in the film “Surviving Picasso.”
Also, Picasso mingled with plenty of other historical figures of his time we might look forward to seeing depicted — from the official release:
His passionate nature and relentless creative drive were inextricably linked to his personal life, which included tumultuous marriages, numerous affairs and constantly shifting political and personal alliances. He lived most of his life in the vibrant Paris of the first half of the 20th Century and crossed paths with writers and artists including Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Gertrude Stein, Georges Braque, and Jean Cocteau.
“What we were looking for, as with Albert Einstein, was someone who saw the world in a completely different way,” Biller said during a conference call this morning tied to the announcement. “One in scientific realm and one in art realm. This is a declarative statement, that ‘Genius’ is not only about scientists, [but people] who are iconic figures in history who changed the world. Pablo Picasso came to mind among many figures for Season 2.”
Picasso was the first name the producers considered for the project, Biller said, and after discussing several names, “we circled back to that idea and felt that his story, which is rich and emotional and passionate and controversial, would not only allow us to expand the palette, but his life was so turbulent and interesting. It’s a fascinating story.”
Howard said many men and women were considered for the project, and the producers used the success of depicting Albert Einstein’s life as a guide in finding a story subject with similar breadth.
“We wanted to try to live up to an achievement we were very proud of, with Einstein’s life, and we needed to know the drama was there,” Biller said. “Talking to friends, family, and kicking it around, his name stimulates curiosity in people. He’s famous, a household name, but you don’t really know the story of his life – how through the turbulence, he achieved artistic greatness in many ways and over many years.”
Biller said the producers considered a female subject for Season 2, and are “hoping to do a woman for Season 3.”
“Unfortunately the way history works, when you Google ‘geniuses’ online, history doesn’t remember a lot of [women],” Biller said. “The pool from them to choose is smaller. We explored ideas of people in science, politics, the arts. It’s a fun parlor game. There are probably very few people you could mention that we didn’t discuss on some level.”
Biller pointed out that although Season 1 was about Einstein, it spent time on the women characters surrounding him, including his first wife, physicist Mileva Maric.
“We did feel a responsibility to explore this other brilliant scientist we didn’t know, Mileva,” Biller said. “You’ll see also in Picasso’s story that there are many fascinating women in his life who inspired him and were artists in their own right. We will give them their due and explore what it was like to be a woman not only in that time but also in Picasso’s life.”
Given the subject matter, Howard said he expects to be able to play with visuals in Season 2. Like Season 1 of “Genius,” Season 2 will cover different stages of Picasso’s life and include two actors portraying the artist.
“We have no casting in mind yet but we’re hoping to attract that same level of talent to the project,” Biller said.
Biller defended the idea of portraying Einstein’s sexuality. “The idea of seeing Einstein with his pants down wasn’t designed for titillation,” he said. “One of the truths of Einstein is that most of the world didn’t know about was he had many sexual relationships. He was not faithful to his wife. He had an unorthodox view of sexuality and monogamy. If we were going to spend ten hours exploring character, the audience wouldn’t be interested in watching him at a blackboard for ten hours.”
“We’re in heavy development of the show,” he added. “We have some of the same writers from the first season, and some new ones. Our intention is to be in production before the end of this year in the fall.”
The Season 1 finale of “Genius” aired Tuesday, June 20. The 10-episode second season is expected to air in Spring 2018.

If you’re a big actor in Hollywood, chances are at some point that you’ll play your hand at a comic book movie. If you’re especially big, you may have a run at a few different franchises before you’re done. This past year, actor Mads Mikkelsen (who’s perhaps best known for playing villains from such films as Casino Royale or the TV show Hannibal) joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity as Kaecilius, a rogue sorcerer who turned on the Ancient One in Doctor Strange.
It was Mikkelsen’s first time in a big comic book movie, and as revealed by the audio commentary for the film, he jumped onto the project immediately when he realized it meant he’d have to go through martial arts training. It was a bit odd that in Mikkelsen’s entire career, he had yet to make his mark in the...

I never thought I’d really be into survival games, but looking at my Steam library tells a tale of zombie outbreaks and dinosaur training. With the likes of H1Z1 and Ark in my playlist, Conan Exiles probably fits right in…
My style of survival is to be a loner though, and to enjoy the ability to explore a world at my own pace. This is one reason that being able to have a single player experience in Conan Exiles interests me. Not only that, but the ability to set your own server settings adds to the fun. These are something that aren’t really new though, you can do it in other games when you are the controller of the realm.
With Conan Exiles, it feels like a lot of the attention went to the ability to be nude, and to see certain aspects of the male anatomy in all their glory.

Grrr arggg! Into every generation an excellent TV show is born: One show in all the world. The Chosen One.
It’s been 20 years since Buffy Summers, Mr. Pointy, The Bronze, and Giles’ always-smudged spectacles graced our small screens, and the world has never been the same (mostly because she saved it… a lot).
There were plenty of quips (“Out. For. A. Walk. B**ch.”), tears (Spike’s undying devotion, sob), and frights (bunnies, plus demons and stuff), but Buffy the Vampire Slayer was so much more than that.
The Joss Whedon masterpiece created several feminist icons, spoke to addiction struggles, portrayed the first lesbian sex scene on broadcast television, showed that vampires were sexy long before Twilight and made it ok to wear pink leather pants in public… well, sort of.
Whether you were Team Angel, Team Spike or kind of just wanted Giles and Joyce to get together, the show had...
