Pink and Christina Aguilera have done more than just settle their beef, they've apparently teamed up!
On Thursday's Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the 38-year-old pop star was asked if she would ever work with the "Dirrty" singer, of which she coyly responded, "We may or may not have already collaborated."

James Franco is always expanding his body of work. Whether it be earning an Oscar nomination, starring in hit Hollywood comedies, adapting and directing films, writing poems, studying at prestigious universities, or teaching film classes, it seems like there is nothing Franco cannot do. To prove just that, he partnered with loved fashion brand, Coach, as the face its new Cologne for Men.
The actor, 39, was first exposed to cologne as a young teenager but, oddly enough, not with the goal of combating prepubescent body odor.

Reservoir Dogs Turns 25! 10 Colourful FactsReservoir Dogs Turns 25! 10 Colourful FactsKurt Anthony9/1/2017 10:00:00 Am
They say that every dog has its day, and today is the 25th anniversary of Quentin Tarantino’s American crime thriller, Reservoir Dogs!
After competing in the dog-eat-dog world of film festival screenings, Reservoir Dogs made its theatrical debut in France on September 2, 1992. Pulling triple duty as writer, actor, and director, the independent heist flick was Tarantino’s first feature-length film and instantly cemented his place at the top of Hollywood’s dogpile, paving the way for future films like Pulp Fiction (1994) and Jackie Brown (1997).
With a budget of $1.2M and a domestic box office gross of over $2.8M, the independent underdog has since earned its bloody, cult classic status and is often referred to as “the greatest independent film ever made.”

2017-07-20T12:57:42-07:00Charlize Theron Likes Same-Sex Love Scenes
Charlize Theron prefers filming steamy scenes with Sofia Boutella rather than any other co-star.
“With Sofia, it was easy just because we’re both dancers and you have to choreograph those scenes quite a bit,” the Oscar winner told Extra of her sex scenes with Boutella, 35, in “Atomic Blonde.” “Otherwise, they just become silly. There is a technical aspect to it, so with her, it was really easy because she thinks like me because we’re dancers.”
Theron, 41, studied ballet as a child, but her dance aspirations were curtailed after a knee injury at 18. Boutella began her career as a dancer and has worked with Madonna and Michael Jackson.

While storytelling is something we value deeply in the shows we watch, we often look to the key actors of these narratives as one of their ultimate signs of success. Some of our favorite shows thus far this year have owed so much to some staggering acting work. With two inevitable exceptions, we limited this overview to one performance per show, one role per actor. But there was some incredible range to be found in that work, which makes us excited for what the rest of 2017 has in store.

“Younger” gets attention for its look into the New York social circles and its attention-grabbing fashions, and that’s as it should be. After all, this is a series by Darren Star, who also brought us the delights of “Sex and the City.”
Sutton Foster stars as Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman who’s just emerged from a failed marriage and must re-enter the work force. The only problem is that no one will even glance at her resume since she became a full-time mother nearly two decades ago. But after she’s mistaken for a 26-year-old at a bar, she decides to pass for much younger and lands a job at publishing firm Empirical Press.

When Basic Instinct hit big, Hollywood went hunting for more erotic thrillers. Er, it found some. Includes Kevin Spacey with odd hair.
When a movie hits big out of the blue, it’s unwritten Hollywood law that the imitators aren’t too far behind. That’s why, after American Pie brought Porky’s-esque sex-tinged (late) teen comedies back to prominence in 1999, the box office was flooded with similar fare for years after. The Blair Witch Project, meanwhile, hit out of nowhere, and found footage horror is only now dying away. The late Wes Craven, meanwhile, wryly noted just how quickly Hollywood had cashed in on the success of 1996’s Scream, when spoof Scary Movie popped out the year after.

Our uninterrupted sleazefest starts off a little bit tame actually (as it is a purely simulated scene) and sees a too cool for school yuppie returning home to his wife after being away for a couple of days. Naturally, he wants a welcome home present and it’s not until he’s in that classic handstand position with his tiny pecker exposed in all its limp glory that he gets it. Just like his member, this segment is short and sweet.

Palm Springs International Film Fest Announces Premieres, New Voices/New Visions, and Modern Masters
The 27th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Psiff) has announced its line-up of Premieres, New Voices/New Visions competition and Modern Masters. Films from 60 countries, including 54 premieres (7 World, 17 North American and 30 U.S.), will unspool at the Festival, running from January 1-11, 2016 in Palm Springs, California.
“The line-up this year, while full of unexpected surprises, vividly reflects what is going on in the world around us,” said Festival Director Darryl Macdonald. “There’s a particular focus on stories about displaced people – immigrants, emigrants, refugees, those seeking asylum or shelter. There’s a concurrent trend toward stories revolving around new beginnings and escaping the shackles of the past, whether sexual, cultural, societal or self-imposed. Balancing all of these is a focus on family and romance, along with films involving a healthy dose of magic realism or absurdist comedy, and a plethora of exceptional films dealing with the usual obsessions – music, food, sex and art. All in all, it’s about as well-rounded, as thoughtfully chosen, and as provocative as it’s possible for a smartly curated lineup of new international cinema to be.”
“I am thrilled at the breadth and depth of this year’s program,” said Festival Artistic Director Helen du Toit. “While Modern Masters showcases such widely acclaimed filmmakers as as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Barbara Kopple and Terence Davies, our New Voices/New Visions program is evidence that new masters are emerging around the world. The range of approaches is extraordinary. Highlights include Raam Reddy's 'Thithi' (India), which skillfully juggles myriad characters in a delightful low key comedy; Yorgos Zois’ 'Interruption' (Greece), which challenges the audience with a complex and highly compelling narrative; and Maris Curran's 'Five Nights in Maine' (USA), featuring David Oyelowo's nuanced and heartbreaking performance as a widower reconnecting with his estranged mother-in-law.”

“The line-up this year, while full of unexpected surprises, vividly reflects what is going on in the world around us,” said Festival Director Darryl Macdonald. “There’s a particular focus on stories about displaced people – immigrants, emigrants, refugees, those seeking asylum or shelter. There’s a concurrent trend toward stories revolving around new beginnings and escaping the shackles of the past, whether sexual, cultural, societal or self-imposed. Balancing all of these is a focus on family and romance, along with films involving a healthy dose of magic realism or absurdist comedy, and a plethora of exceptional films dealing with the usual obsessions – music, food, sex and art. All in all, it’s about as well-rounded, as thoughtfully chosen, and as provocative as it’s possible for a smartly curated lineup of new international cinema to be.”

Earlier in the year, she won an Emmy for her Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer and saw a summer box-office hit with the movie Trainwreck, which she wrote and starred in. { "nid": 832885, "type": "news", "title": "Amy Schumer HBO Special Slams Gender Bias: "I'm Labeled a Sex Comic

At least once a month, Cinelinx will chose one director for an in-depth examination of the “signatures” that they leave behind in their work. This month we’re examining the trademark style and calling signs of Guy Ritchie as director.
Guy Ritchie didn’t attend a prestigious film school, or become an understudy of a famous filmmaker to home his craft. Instead, he has worked his way up from the bottom, literally. He dropped out of secondary school and took a low paying job for a film studio. Over time he made commercials and short films. People liked what they saw, and when he came up with the idea for a feature length film, he was able to raise the money he needed for production. That film became Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), which was well received, and eventually became an international hit. His follow-up was Snatch, which followed a similar premise,...

In the past, celebrities like Jon Stewart, Madonna and Kristen Wiig have not hesitated to back Amnesty International, one of the most influential human rights watchdog groups. But the London-based organization's cozy alignment with Hollywood has begun to fray over a controversial new proposal that argues for the decriminalization of the sex trade. Lena Dunham, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are among a group of industry heavyweights voicing opposition to Amnesty's "Draft Policy on Sex Work," which posits that all "consensual sexual conduct between adults — which excludes acts that involve coercion, deception, threats, or violence — is entitled

I spend a lot of time writing jokes (and non-jokes) about celebrities, and here's a secret about that trade: It's easy to get sick of celebrities! When Zooey Deschanel emerged as a breakout star on "New Girl," it took about 20 minutes before every comic's version of an adorkable punchline felt stale and annoying, even if it was right on. The Justin Bieber renaissance was worse. He's still impossible to mock without feeling like a pox on humanity. Did you see his Comedy Central roast? That looked like a room of struggling pros to me. Only Martha Stewart and her artisanal, nutmeg-dappled prison jokes soared. Celebrities can often be reduced to one or two barbs ("Tom Cruise is delirious! And perhaps closeted!"), and if you have an assistant with Twitter, it doesn't take long to be in on those. Fortunately there is an everlasting wellspring in the celebrity joke universe, and her name is Taylor Swift.

Ladies with an attitude, fellas who weren’t in the mood (for hanky panky with a swine). That little tweak on a classic Madonna lyric might be one way to describe the 74th Peabody Awards’ entertainment winners.
In announcing its latest honorees for excellence in electronic media, the organization noted a trend of “strong, multi-dimensional women” picking up prizes in 2015 and “affirming the continuing expansion of significant roles for women on television.” Among them: Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer, The CW’s Jane the Virgin, and Sundance TV/The BBC’s The Honorable Woman.

It's Not So Bad is a new feature on HitFix where a brave, stupid writer defends an unpopular pop culture subject. Every Madonna fan -- or every Madonna fan worth knowing -- has a bone or two to pick with the woman herself, and that's the way it should be. One of Madonna's primary functions as a pop culture phenomenon is agitator, and I was sufficiently agitated with her Britney lip-lock (because Britney is no Madonna heir, as we've now long understood), her "Hard Candy" album (because Timbaland and Justin Timberlake were her most uninspired choices as collaborators), and the leaden self-seriousness of her Mdna tour (because leaden self-seriousness is not very danceable). Otherwise I'm on board with her impish immortality and obvious potential as a standup comic. I'll always love Madonna. She's like if Marlene Dietrich were an American Gladiator. Thanks to her explosive kiss with Drake at Coachella this weekend,...

Madonna has something to get off her chest: She just wants to be naked on Instagram. Small problem: Instagram doesn't allow nude pics. On Wednesday, the 56-year-old Queen of Pop, seen by many as a trailblazer of sexual expression and who has no problem showing some skin, shared a vintage topless pic of herself (getting touched up, so to speak). Then poof! It disappeared. Outraged, a day later, she shared on Instagram another Nsfw pic—a censored version of a famous photo depicting her leaning back, naked, against a giant fish statue and fountain, first seen in her racy 1992 coffee table book Sex. "Why is it ok to show ass but not breasts?" she wrote. "Drowning in the hypocrisy of...

2015, the year Madonna was set to make her big comeback with a new look and a new album. Her Brit Awards performance had millions tuning in to watch her close the show. As she ascended the stairs in her huge cape, she got caught in a tangle with her dancers costume and dragged down three flights of stairs, her live microphone sending an echoing thud around the arena and the world watched as the Queen of Pop dragged herself off the floor and just got the hell on with it.
This is Madonna, the mind behind ‘that bra’ and ‘those videos’, there is little else she can do publicly that will cause shock because from her head to her toe we have seen everything there is to see.

Apparently when you're Madonna, you need something a little spicier than Fifty Shades of Grey!
The wait is finally over for the film adaptation of El James’ erotic novel, which is great because we were so done waiting, but the sex-forward pop icon has actually criticized the story for not being hot enough.

Another issue for the "Erotica" singer is Christian Grey's well, generosity in the bedroom.

Madonna has said that El James's Fifty Shades of Grey is "not very sexy".
The pop superstar also criticised the erotic novel for the lack of realism with regard to the amount of male-on-female oral sex.
"It's pulp fiction. It's not very sexy, maybe for someone who has never had sex before," Madonna told Billboard.
"I kept waiting for something exciting and crazy to happen in that red room thing, and I was like, 'Hmm, a lot of spanking'."
She added: "I also thought, 'This is so unrealistic because no guy goes down on a girl that much'.
Fifty Shades of Grey director: 'Filming explicit sex is nerve-wracking'
"I'm sorry, but no one eats p**sy as much as the guy in that book."
Of whether her views on sex had changed in the last 25 years, Madonna said: "Absolutely not. Nope. Sex is a wonderful, necessary part of life."

She added: "I also thought, 'This is so unrealistic because no guy goes down on a girl that much'.
Fifty Shades of Grey director: 'Filming explicit sex is nerve-wracking'
"I'm sorry, but no one eats p**sy as much as the guy in that book."
Of whether her views on sex had changed in the last 25 years, Madonna said: "Absolutely not. Nope. Sex is a wonderful, necessary part of life."

Although there were some serious let-downs in this week's episode of "American Horror Story: Freak Show," it serves as a reminder of just how far the show runners are willing to push past the boundaries of taste and sanity on basic cable. Of course, the Grand Guignol gore and straight-up weirdness is why most of us watch it, so kudos to everyone involved for making this episode the stuff of nightmares.
Spoilers start here. Let's get this show on the road.
Taking Off the Masks
This week's episode caps off, so to speak, the story of Edward Mordrake (Wes Bentley) and solves the mystery of who he was looking to take with him into the greenish fog. Edward, as directed by the demonic face on the back of his head, continues peppering each of the performers with questions about their deepest secrets and darkest shames, which is a cool narrative...

Twenty years after it first aired in the Us, we celebrate My So-Called Life’s brilliantly written, strongly cast pilot…
From its opening shot, My So-Called Life announces itself as distinct from its glossy Us teen TV peers. Filmed on location using natural lighting and a hand-held camera, the pre-credits sequence is a world away from candy-coloured sets and Malibu beaches. We see two teenage girls messing around on a street, hanging off one another and periodically breaking into fits of laughter. The girls speak directly to camera, addressing an unseen passer-by with a string of goofy tall stories.
One of the actresses - Claire Danes - breaks the chief rule of playing a teenager on American TV by actually being one. The other - A.J Langer - isn’t long out of her teens. With a face free of make-up and as-yet undyed mousy blonde hair, Danes is and looks fifteen,...

Some of our questions about "Big Brother 16" are truly unanswerable. For instance: Do Julie Chen and Les Moonves joke in their monstrous bed about what a crybaby creep Caleb is? Or: Is Jocasta outfitted by Brooks Brothers? And most importantly: How can Frankie be 31-years-old and thrilled about receiving a Justin Bieber album? I'll leave the FBI or Nasa to understand that one. Wednesday's episode was a so-so hour that mostly confirmed what we'd already guessed: Frankie would find a way to remove either Jocasta or Victoria from the block and replace that person with Amber. Hayden, in fact, won the power of veto in a highly libidinous cowboy-themed challenge (We'll get to it in a moment), and Frankie seized that opportunity to replace Victoria with the totally blindsided Amber. Poor girl. If you weren't calling her Leona Lewzer before, now you have an official reason. Girl will be bleeding...

Whether or not you agree with his recent comments in Playboy, there's no denying Gary Oldman is one of the great actors of our time.
Ever since breaking out in 1986's "Sid and Nancy" as the self-destructing Sex Pistol Sid Vicious, Oldman has transformed himself from one role to the next. A true chameleon, the actor changes his voice for every part and is nearly unrecognizable in films like "True Romance" (1993) and "The Contender" (2000). Despite his enormous influence among fellow actors, Oldman shuns the spotlight and has only once been nominated for an Oscar. Oldman turns in yet another stirring performance (despite limited screen time) in this summer's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes".
From his famous ex-wife to his rejection from a prestigious drama school, here are 27 things you probably don't know about Gary Oldman.
1. Gary Oldman was born on March 21, 1958 in London, England to Kathleen Cheriton and Leonard Bertram Oldman.
