Emma and Matt Willis have been tapped as hosts of the UK version of the popular Netflix dating series Love is Blind, set to launch in 2024.
Produced by Married at First Sight indie Cpl Productions, a SevenOne Studios company, the British version will see singletons across the country, who want to be loved for who they are rather than what they look like, sign up for a less conventional approach to modern dating.
Per the logline: Singles will talk to a host of potential love interests without the distractions from the outside world, with the hope of building a meaningful connection. Once cupid’s work is done, they will propose to their chosen partner and then lay their eyes on their fiancé/fiancée for the first time. Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will attempt to add a physical connection to their emotional bond.

Busted have announced a greatest hits reunion tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
On Thursday (23 March), the band posted a video on Instagram informing fans that they are back for a special anniversary tour.
“Busted is back,” they wrote in the caption for the video, before informing fans that tickets will go on sale from Friday 31 March.
The British boy band were hugely famous in the noughties for pop-punk hits such as “Year 3000”, “What I Go To School For” and “Crashed The Wedding”.
The group, consisting of Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne, were teens in Busted’s early days, and are now in their late 30s.
Although they may not have been together as Busted for a while, the group members have been very busy for the last 20 years.
So what exactly have Busted been up to for the last two decades?

This is part two of a review for Mill Creek Entertainment’s Thrillers from the Vault, 8 Classics Films. Part one can be found here.
The Devil Commands is a hell of a title, and it’s a pretty good movie too. Released in 1941, Edward Dmytryk’s spookfest stars Boris Karloff as Julian Blair, a scientist whose experiments are a family affair—his wife Helen is one of his subjects.
Blair achieves his goal—a machine that records thought processes—but on a night he should be celebrating, his wife is killed in a car crash. Something breaks inside Blair and when he discovers that Helen may continue to live on through his invention,...

Exclusive: Jason Wong, who starred alongside Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant and Charlie Hunnam in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentleman, is exploring Hong Kong’s most notorious gangster in a new narrative podcast series.
The actor is hosting Bad Money, a six-part series that charts the life of Big Spender, otherwise known as Cheung Tze-keung.
Beginning with cash hauls and prison breaks, over the course of the podcast we hear how Big Spender’s heists gradually became more and more extreme, until eventually he committed a crime so big that it broke records around the world and attracted the wrath of the Chinese government.
Crimes included the kidnapping of Victor Li Tzar-kuoi, son of Li Ka Shing, and Walter Kwok, chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties, reaping billions in ransom money.
He was convicted and sentenced to death in Guangzhou at the end of 1998.

In his latest video, Kev takes to the booth to review Giles Alderson’s latest film, Wolves of War, starring Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Matt Willis (Busted) and Sam Gittins (Break).
Stop the war. At any cost. Based on an incredible real-life story, Decorated British officer Jack Wallace must lead a band of Allied commandos across enemy lines to rescue Professer Hopper, an American scientist held hostage by the Nazis. With information that could turn the tide of war, these unlikely heroes must traverse enemy territory with an untrained US civilian, avoiding brutal Nazi mercenaries and non-stop bombing – with the fate of the war resting on their shoulders, the outcome of this mission will change the world forever; failure is not an option. Also starring Matt Willis (co-founder of Busted). Directed by Giles Alderson (The Dare) and written by Toby Kearton (Dissonance), Samuel Christopher Ellis (Heart and Google Home) & Ben Mole...

"This mission is about more than protecting innocent, it's about protecting everyone." Blue Fox Ent. has revealed an official trailer for WWII action thriller titled Wolves of War, which will be landing direct-to-vod in September. The film is about a group of British officers who lead a team of allied commandos on an impossible mission in Bavaria near the end of the war to extract an American scientist being held hostage by the Nazis. It seems to be a low-rent, direct-to-video Saving Private Ryan, but with the added stakes of the scientist being involved in the atomic bomb program. Which is such perfect fodder for even more forgettable cinema these days. Wolves of War is directed by Giles Alderson, and stars Ed Westwick, Rupert Graves, Matt Willis, Sam Gittins, Éva Magyar, and Anastasia Martin. Usually I'm all about these kind of films but it looks like this was made on...

Lewis Milestone directed this poetic, optimistic ode to the American infantryman, a ‘lone patrol’ saga that emphasizes its soldiers’ hopes and fears. The lineup of fresh, eager acting talent is remarkable: Dana Andrews, Richard Conte, George Tyne, John Ireland, Lloyd Bridges, Sterling Holloway, Norman Lloyd, Herbert Rudley, Richard Benedict, Huntz Hall, James Cardwell, Steve Brodie. Voiceovers and ‘ballads’ give a six-mile beachhead incursion the tone of a spiritual rumination. A beautiful full film restoration brings the image back to prime quality. The controversial filmmakers and the unusual production circumstances are covered in Alan K. Rode’s commentary.

[Note: With the film hitting digital outlets next week, here’s a reposting of our review on Madness in the Methos, from the films UK debut at Frightfest last year]
Playing an alternative version of his persona, and tired of Hollywood’s perception of him, Mewes embarks on a quest to reinvent himself as a serious actor. Upon advice from his best friend Kevin Smith, he tracks down a secret book outlining all the mysteries of the Method Acting process with disastrous consequences.
Whilst Madness in the Method may feature Jason Mewes playing an alternate version of his own persona, it doesn’t stop Mewes’ film from being something of a retrospective on his real-life career And life; perfectly blending truth and fiction, life and movie, in a way that makes this film akin to the likes of JFK, American Animals and...

Sideshow Bob is probably the greatest guest character that The Simpsons ever created, and the casting of Kelsey Grammer is the biggest part of what makes this character so enduring. His voice, so rich and lyrical, brings Bob to life time and time again. His character appeared in the very first season and has gone on to appear in eleven more episodes…well…twelve actually but one of those wasn’t really a proper Bob episode…so we wont count that one.
As we approach the premiere of the 25th season of The Simpsons, I thought it would be fun to go through all those classic Sideshow Bob episodes…and rank the crap outta them! So here we go, we’ll start from the worst and work our way up to…the very best Sideshow Bob episode ever.

Later this month (27 Sep to be exact) the 27th season of The Simpsons is set to premiere on Fox, with fans of the show eagerly anticipating seeing what hijinks Springfield’s best-loved family will get up to next.
Storylines already confirmed for this season (by executive producer Al Jean in an interview with Variety) include Homer and Marge legally separating and Homer falling in love with his pharmacist, as well as the long-awaited return of Plopper, a.k.a. Spider-Pig. However, the one that has arguably got most people talking, is that in this year’s Treehouse of Horror episode Sideshow Bob will finally achieve his dream of killing Bart.
Sideshow Bob’s history with Bart actually dates back right back to Season 1’s Krusty Gets Busted, which first aired over 25 years ago. In this episode Sideshow Bob framed Bart’s hero, TV star Krusty the Clown, for robbing the Kwik-e-Mart.

Palmer-Tomkinson shocked the entire nation as she revealed the root of their tension was all down to Day's unbridled sexiness, shouting: "I'll tell you why I am very uptight. It's because I think you are so f**king sexy."

We've already had some revelations about McBusted from the first part of Fearne and... McBusted, but last night's concluding part brought us even more stories - from struggles with bipolar disorder to sadness about Busted's split... to farting. Well, you know, they're rock stars. Read on for all of the gossip from the show...
1. The boys really do take tattoo roulette seriously.
We learnt about tattoo roulette in the first episode, but in this one poor Matt - who lost the game after a very, very intense rock, paper, scissors battle - actually got a frog tattooed on his leg. They weren't messing about.
2. Russell Crowe bloody loved Tom Fletcher's wedding song.
Well, we kind of already knew this, but it was lovely to be reminded. Russell saw the wedding video and loved it, telling a reporter: "This man has such a rich internal life... I just think he's incredibly special.

Fearne and... McBusted began last night, and there were some revelations in among all of the rehearsal footage and clips from yesteryear (bless 'em, weren't they cuties?). The show's second part airs tonight, but read on to find out what we've discovered about James, Matt, Harry, Danny, Tom and Dougie so far...
1. The boys have a disgusting-sounding health routine.
Dougie informed Fearne that they "take the health thing to a new level of disgustingness", which sounds weird - and is. After Harry joked that they gave each other colonics, the truth gushed out (ew). Apparently, Matt is very conscious of his health and does Himalayan salt water purges... which is basically drinking a pint of warm salt water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning to, er, clear out your system. You should have just seen Fearne's face when she was shown a video of the effect. Little...

A new clip from Fearne and McBusted shows Emma Willis speaking emotionally about her relationship with Matt Willis.
The Big Brother host can be seen tearing up when talking about her husband's time in rehab, saying how she knew he had a "genuine problem".
In 2005, the McBusted star spent three weeks in The Priory for alcoholism, before having to return a year later.
Emma said: "I never talk about it... You have to ask yourself, I'm not going to leave him because he has a problem. You stick together and do it."
Fearne and McBusted sees Fearne Cotton gain "unprecedented access" into the lives of the McFly and Busted super group as they prepare for their UK tour.
Cotton spends time with the band members and their families, as well as getting exclusive behind-the-scenes access to their concerts.

For the second year in a row, the Tribeca Film Festival has awarded the best, most creative Vine videos it can find. The winners have been announced for the #6SecFilms competition, with five champions emerging from the initial field of 536 videos. All of the contest's videos were created via Vine, the video capture app that limits submissions to six-second runtimes. The time constraint forces users to get creative, and this often causes adept artists to turn to stop-motion. This year, three of the five champions are animated via stop-motion, while a fourth has stop-motion elements as well. The #6SecFilms jury included online video notables like Gary Vaynerchuk, Jerome Jarre, and Tiffany Shlain. "At last year's Tff, Vine was a brand new and many creators were just beginning to get their hands dirty," said Tribeca Film Festival Director of Programming Genna Terranova. "A year later, there is more mastery of the...
