The weather's good throughout much of the country this holiday weekend, but audiences are still being lured into theaters to see "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Unfortunately for other movies, that's just about the only film that's luring them in.

Time travel movies are a delicate business. There are inevitable plot holes, so it really comes down to how many there are and how easy they are to ignore.
In the case of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," the answer is...pretty easy.
The movie acts as a sequel to both the awful "X-Men: The Last Stand" and the much better "X-Men: First Class." Most of the main cast members from both movies reprise their roles here, playing younger and older versions of their mutant characters.

In case you were wondering, here's what a bachelorette party looks like if you're very rich and famous.
Kim Kardashian went out for a night on the town with friends in Paris in anticipation of her upcoming wedding, expected to happen this week.

If you've ever taken the time to mute "American Idol" and just watch people's faces as they sing, it's actually pretty funny. So when Bad Lip Reading added some dubbing over that, it's extra hilarious.
The latest video from the guys over at Bad Lip Reading takes moments from this season of "American Idol" and tries to read the contestants' and judges' lips.

This is the video you didn't know you needed, but it turns out you really, really needed it.
In a promo for the return of Science Channel's "Beyond the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman," the titular host decided to change things up with his legendary voice and add a bit of chemistry to the equation. Specifically, he decided to inhale some helium.
So if you've ever pondered life's great mysteries, like "how did the universe come into being?" or "how did life begin on earth?" or "what does Morgan Freeman sound like after he inhales helium?&q

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was released a quarter century before Miley Cyrus was born, so she couldn't be expected to think of the song as sacred. The song, in fact, fits perfectly with the strange image she's trying to create, so she performed it last week for the Billboard Music Awards show. She wasn't the first young singer this year to take on the challenge of performing the Beatles, though.

When you go to the theater this holiday weekend, you'll be able to choose between "X-Men," "Godzilla," and "The Amazing Spider-Man." That's good news for you, but it could be bad news for the three movies that are trying to be the undisputed champion of the early-summer box office.

Ryan Seacrest is an excellent host. Through his many years as the host of "American Idol," not to mention his work as the host of his own radio show, Seacrest has proven time and again that he has the poise, the charm, and the improvisational skills to lead any audience by the hand through a two-hour live television event.
However, Ryan Seacrest is not a singer.
He proved it on this week's "American Idol" finale, where he attempted to sing "Right Here Waiting For You" for a few bars, on his own, on stage, on live TV.
