President Lisa Berger and former AwesomenessTV executive Sarah Penna, and Mwm Universe, the company behind Netflix’s The Dragon Prince, are adapting Korean webtoon Yes, My Boss! for TV after striking a deal with digital comic book company Tapas Media.

Billy Bush sat down with Stephen Colbert on Monday for his first TV interview about the now-infamous Donald Trump bus tape, getting candid about the recording and subsequent fallout.
“It was a difficult time,” Bush recalled. “I think it was very hot, emotionally in the country. A lot of people were not comfortable with the man who was close to winning the election and a lot of things happened quickly.”
The former NBC host penned an op-ed this week in response to New York Times reports that President Trump has recently been questioning the authenticity of the 2005 recording -- in which Bush, then a reporter for Access Hollywood, is heard laughing as Trump makes lewd comments about women.
"He said it.. Of course he said it," Bush wrote. "Along with Donald Trump and me, there were seven other guys present on the bus at the time, and every single one of us assumed we were listening to a crass...

Billy Bush made his first late-night appearance since his lewd conversation with President Donald Trump was released more than a year ago.
On Monday evening, the former Today show anchor, 46, sat down with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, where he discussed the infamous tape — which resulted in him being let go from his NBC hosting post — and explained why he wrote his New York Times op-ed published Sunday, in which he confirmed that Trump made the comments despite the president recently claiming that the infamous tape was fabricated.
“Last week, for some reason came out with, ‘That’s not my voice on the tape.

— A Savant Guest Article by Wayne Schmidt —
Fires, clerical errors, and lab mistakes have caused films to become unavailable in good quality, or even lost forever. Studio indifference also allows vintage films to be ignored to death, while their negatives rot in cans. So it’s great to hear a ‘lost film’ story with a happy ending.
A note from Glenn Erickson: About twenty years ago, when I worked at MGM, I had some contact with MGM’s in house Film and Video Services team, and learned how the department maintained the MGM library of film titles. My old friend Wayne Schmidt was at the time over at Sony, and busy doing much the same work for that studio’s older Columbia film library. Naturally, the first thing I asked about was the status of both studios’ Hammer film collections!

In the world of crime dramas, cops are often heroes.
The over-dedicated cop who takes the job super seriously is a common trope, and Olivia Benson personifies the archetype.
Olivia often rolls being a cop and a social worker into one job, caring for rape survivors and helping them deal with the violence they've experienced in addition to helping them get justice.
On Law & Order: Svu Season 18 Episode 14 Olivia outdoes herself, refusing to let someone with unlimited financial resources get away with rape, helping the young executive he preyed on to find the courage to testify against him.
None of this is a bad thing. Olivia is the kind of cop we all wish existed and maybe does exist somewhere or other.
And in the current political climate where the ultra-rich seem to be able to get away with everything and anything, it's refreshing to see someone whose net worth...

Everyone knows someone who is a little too enthusiastic about April Fools' Day. This year, that someone happened to be Google. As part of the company's annual roll-out of April Fools' Day pranks, they surreptitiously attached a feature they called the "Mic Drop" to Gmail, which, when activated, inserted a Gif of a Minion (yes, from Despicable Me) dressed as royalty, dropping a mic. (For those of you who are slightly confused, "mic drop" refers to standup comics and rappers literally dropping the microphone after an especially pointed remark and has become Internet shorthand for a conversation-ending response/rejoinder.)

Usually, being sent home by the boss doesn't bode well. But for Mike Bell of McKinney, Texas, it saved his life. One day last April, Bell, a sales manager at a car dealership, caught the eye of his boss, Gus Rodriguez, who thought Bell wasn't at his best on the sales floor. "I didn't really feel that bad, I felt a little dizzy," Bell, 58, told ABC News. But Rodriguez disagreed. "My boss, the second he came up to me, said, 'Mike, you look like [expletive], you need to go to the doctor and figure out what's going on.' " A few hours later,...

While issue #1 hinted at the possibility of this being a good series, issue #2 solidifies that assumption into fact. The story involves a great deal more than just a hunt for Nessie, as even a casual perusal of this book will attest to.
This issue picks up right where issue #1 left off, with Matilda Finn joining Billy Wetherell, the pilot of a small submersible, as they are being lowered from their command ship into the waters of Loch Ness in Billy’s sub. As the sub slowly descends,...

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who will next be seen in the upcoming Bollywood film Piku, has shot quite a lot of scenes in Kolkata and was also snapped cycling on the streets while shooting. Big B and Kolkata's connection goes a long way and the megastar feels that whenever you feel depressed you should visit the City Of Joy.
At the trailer launch of Piku, Big B was asked "I did my first job in Kolkata and I stayed there for eight years. I keep on vising there often as I cannot forget the environment there. I keep on telling my co-stars that whenever you are feeling depressed go to Kolkata. The people there are so passionate that they will awaken you. And how many every years I have spent and whatever I have learned there, you might get to see a part of it in Piku."

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 27: The year 2012 proved to be favourable for the Malayalam film industry, which saw as many as 140 films hitting the screens. While some went on to earn big bucks, others failed to rake in the moolah at the box-office. The year also saw an actor like Dileep leaving behind veterans like Mammootty and Mohanlal to be on the top.
The maximum number of films were released this year since 1982 -- garnering a business worth Rs.600 crore.
Dileep outshone senior actors Mammootty and Mohanlal. He stole the show with films "Mayamohini", "My Boss", "Mr Marumakan" and "Spanish Masala" that did good business. He also bagged.
