The awkwardness of having to refer to Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot as "Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot" is officially over. The movie now has a title, and it isn't spectacular, sensational, or astonishing: it's "The Amazing Spider-Man".
The title is the same of the first Spider-Man comic book series, which further indicates a throwback to the "original" Spidey.
“Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion.”
In what was easily the best story to come out of the sports world this week, Bill Murray paired up with pro golfer and fellow Illinoisan D.A. Points to win the 2011 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
This was no celebrity charity putt-around, mind you. The annual tourney draws a large cadre of professionals, this year including Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh.
As if to prove that no topic is off-limits to the envelope-pushing "Family Guy", this episode centers on alcoholism and twelve-step programs. Buckle your seatbelts, folks.
The episode opens with Brian and Peter attending a double feature at the movie theater, which of course leads to some FG-style mockery of the movie experience (including a decent bit about movie studio logos).
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, one of the lead “gorillas” on MTV’s Jersey Shore, pleaded not guilty to an aggravated assault charge in New Jersey, according to the Associated Press. If found guilty, Ortiz-Magro could face up to 5 years in prison.
The charges relate to an incident shown on the series, where Ortiz-Magro punched another man outside a Jersey nightclub, knocking him unconscious.
Christina Aguilera might have redeemed her singing at the Grammy’s Sunday night, but her performance wasn’t without its flaws.
Christina sang and appeared to have all of the words right as she performed with a group of women in a tribute to Aretha Franklin (though many critics say it was impossible to tell with the unitelligible lyrics).
Fast forward to the end.
Whethet she's singing or acting, Jessica Simpson seems to polarize people. Love her or hate her (and there are plenty of people who do both), her brand name is stronger and more popular than ever.
Simpson's dad and manager just announced what the projected sales figures will be for this year – and they are staggering!
Simpson's line of clothing, shoes, perfume and other designs will take in approximately $1 BILLION – yes, that’s billion with a B – dollars in sales.
While Charlie Sheen was able to stay clean for the past couple of weeks, he hasn't quite managed to stay out of trouble.
Sheen has been in in-house rehab for two weeks now and has passed two random drug tests during that time, according to his handlers.
Even though Sheen doesn’t think he has a problem, he is working with a sobriety coach. While he was working at it over the weekend, one of the porn stars from his earlier benders sent him a text message.
The Oprah Winfrey Network acquired its eleventh documentary last week, “Miss Representation.” The film, directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, reflects on the portrayal of women in the media and the under-representation of women in positions of power.
Newsom, wife of California’s Lt. Gov. Mayor Gavin Newsom, takes an inside look at the challenge women in leadership face with limited and often disparaging depictions in the media.
While Lady Gaga’s egg entrance and the shocking Bieber loss may have dominated the headlines at the Grammys last night, the best surprise of the night came with the Album of the Year Award.
Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs beat out Katy Perry (Teenage Dream), Lady Gaga (The Fame Monster), Lady Antebellum (Need You Now) and Eminem (Recovery) to take home the prize.
While the Montreal-based band may have seemed an unlikely candidate to win the award given the jaw-dropping commercial power of Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire has been getting well-deserved kudos from critic
Christopher Nolan must have really liked working with the cast of "Inception". First, Tom Hardy was confirmed as Bane. Next, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was confirmed. Gordon-Levitt has been much discussed throughout the casting process, as many thought he would play The Riddler; while Riddler has been ruled out, JGL will still be in the film in another role.
