Halle Berry is annoyed at Drake for using an embarrassing picture of her for his latest single, “Slime You Out.”
On Friday, Drake released his newest track in anticipation of his newest album, For All the Dogs.
“Slime You Out” features a collaboration with Sza. The cover shows Berry getting slimed at the 2012 Kids Choice Awards.
In response to her photo being used, Berry called out Drake in an Instagram post. “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… even if you’re a woman!” the caption read.
A fan asked why Berry was so angry as the picture is owned by Getty Images. To which Berry responded, “Cuz he asked me and I said no that’s why. Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do! That was the f–– you to me. Not cool. You get it?”

The YouTuber movie is one that's often been considered very specific. Usually, they are comedies that star and/or are made by a YouTube content creator specifically to appease their fanbase. None of these are what you can consider future Oscar contenders, but as long as they succeed in satisfying their target audience, they'll be perfectly fine. Right?
If the history of these movies is anything to go by though, a ton of YouTuber movies aren't particularly successful in winning this niche fanbase, let alone general audiences. In a way, it almost seems like the sheer amount of terrible movies with a YouTuber's name on them has set back one of YouTube's primary appeals in the first place. This is, of course, the platform's unique ability to allow creatives to find a platform for their work, eventually building up to bigger projects.

The horror comedy Snatchers had an appearance at SXSW earlier this year (March). Now, the film has been picked up by Warner Bros., for a home entertainment release. In the film, two friends become involved in an alien invasion. One girl becomes pregnant with an alien baby, while the other hopes to help her out of this dire scenario. Set to release in 2020, the film's official box artwork is available here. And, the film is from directors: Stephen Cedars and Benji Kleiman, with Mary Nepi (Not Cool) and Gabrielle Elyse the two central stars.

Over the course of their eight-year relationship, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola practically had more breakups and make-ups than Jersey Shore had episodes, and he was usually the one to blame. He made out with random girls in random nightclubs in Season 2, for example, but he also reportedly cheated on Sammi with a fellow reality star: Bad Girls Club star Morgan Osman. We first heard about this alleged affair when Tough Love star Arian Mayer put Ronnie on blast in September 2011, tweeting, "So @MTVsammi I thought you should know that @mtvronnie was f--king my girl @Morganbritt724 last weekend and now they are at Wet. Sorry." Arian elaborated on the situation in a statement to TheDirty.com (per Starcasm): "So the dumbass f--ked my friend a week ago, and she is here in Vegas visiting me.

Here's what Not Cool actress Michelle Veintimilla had to say to TV Insider about finding out she'd been cast as a female take on the DC baddie. “I actually had no idea I would ultimately be playing a villain. It wasn't until my first fitting with costume designer John Glaser that I discovered I'd be portraying the notorious [Firefly]! It was a huge surprise for me.I immediately starting reading up on the different incarnations and quickly realized that Gotham was doing their own take on the character… a new, badass, female version! Bridgit's story goes beyond what you would expect. I'm really excited for everyone to see her story unfold and witness her transformation. It was incredibly empowering to get to play her as an artist and woman.” Tune in to see Firefly in action on tonight's episode of Gotham, "Strike Force".

Hey, Emmy voters: Isn't it time for a makeover in the Best Reality-Competition Program race? What better way to shake up this stale category than to nominate Starz's riveting new "The Chair"? The premise pits two aspiring filmmakers against each other by forcing them to direct two separate movies from the same script.

After a hellish few weeks of dimension-jumping and humanity-awakening, The Vampire Diaries slowed things down a bit on Thursday to examine each of the characters’ next steps.
PhotosVampire Diaries Preview: Damon and Elena Get Cozy at Jolaric’s Wedding
Is Damon “ready” to start a new human life with Elena? Is becoming a cop, and potentially killing someone, too much for former werewolf Tyler to handle? Should Alaric and Jo leave Mystic Falls for the sake of their new family? And how do you solve a problem like Lily Salvatore?
Let’s start by tackling that first question: No, no he is not.

We've missed Spenny's Jeep - he had one in series one that he used all the time to shuttle himself and Hugo about the place. So it was nice to see him in a new one with Mr Jamie Laing. And boy, he loves the car - though not as much as Lauren, apparently. "Girlfriends are replaceable as well," Jamie reminded him.

The Gerry Anderson shows are still fondly remembered by fans across the world, and not least amongst his output was Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. The original programme ran for two series from 1967 to 1968 and featured the indestructible Captain Scarlet and the other agents of Spectrum defending the Earth against the evil plans of the Mysterons and their human agent, Captain Black.
Captain Scarlet, like other Anderson-helmed programmes, featured puppets (or marionettes) rather than actual actors. But when fans think of the programme, they mostly recall the incredibly cool vehicles and planes. And many of those fans still have the wonderful toy Spectrum Pursuit Vehicles (SPVs) and Angel Interceptors.

Thanksgiving Day means expressing gratitude, connecting with loved ones, and sharing a meal. It also frequently involves overeating, preparation for Friday's orgy of consumerism, and rapidly getting annoyed with your family and friends. Thankfully, there's a solution: getting lost in hours of reality TV marathons.Many cable networks have scheduled them, so here's a guide to all of the television you can escape to when you ditch your family or just seek out a television without a parade or football. First, cleanse your television palate by binge-watching fall's best reality series, Starz's "The Chair," online or on demand. It follows the creation of two films that both use the same script, which is thematically appropriate: both "Hollidaysburg" and "Not Cool" are about returning home for Thanksgiving for the first time after being away at college. When you're done with artful reality television or just need families more dysfunctional than your own,...

Shane Dawson has quite a bit to thank his fans for. The insanely popular YouTuber (he boasts over 12.6 million subscribers across three channels) won $250,000 after his fans voted his film Not Cool as the winner of Starz’s reality TV series The Chair. The ten-episode series documented the independent filmmaking progress of its two contestants -- Dawson and filmmaker Anna Martemucci -- as they produced their own versions of the same script penned by Dan Schoffer. Starz released the episodes online to its subscribers, and asked viewers to vote on their favorite film. Martemucci’s film Hollidaysburg and Dawson’s Not Cool debuted on digital platforms, with Dawson’s creative vision hitting the #5 spot on iTunes within hours of its release on September 23, 2014. Starz announced Dawson the winner after the voting was tallied on Saturday, November 8, 2014. And that’s when the criticism started coming in. According to Variety, New York...

Starz's "The Chair" competition yielded two completed films, "Hollidaysburg" and "Not Cool," that were released a week apart by Starz in theaters and reviewed by The New York Times. It was utterly predictable which rookie director would make the better low budget movie. Producer Chris Moore chose two wildly different contestants, YouTube sensation Shane Dawson and Nyu screenwriter Anna Martemucci ("Breakup at a Wedding"). The ten-part one hour unscripted original documentary series, which started airing on September 6, finally reached its reality show finale, with $250,000 going to the winner. More material will eventually post online at The Chair Channel on Vimeo, on Starz.com and via social media. The measure here was a panel of professionals who watched the two movies and voted on the best film but it also mattered who scored the best with a preview audience filling out surveys; and how many bought tickets at...

Starz competition “The Chair” would seem like a lucky leap for contenders Shane Dawson and Anna Martemucci over the challenges aspiring filmmakers must deal with before getting a film financed. But as the process was shot and televised, the two had to deal with an incredible amount of public scrutiny. Dawson was named “The Chair's” winner during Saturday's finale episode. But, things had become especially contentious as the show's fans clashed on social media and the show's executive producers Zachary Quinto and Neal Dodson publicly shared their dislike of Dawson's movie “Not Cool,” on the show and in a guest blog on.

Starz's terrific reality series "The Chair" — in which two first-time filmmakers are picked to direct their own take on the same script — just concluded, with an hour looking at the premieres of both films and with the winner of the $250,000 prize being announced. I spoke with Chris Moore — the "Project Greenlight" alum who dreamed up the series and served as a backer and producer of both the show and the films — about the results of the contest, the transparency of the project, Zachary Quinto (whose production company helped fund both films) hating one movie so much that he took his name off it, and more, coming up just as soon as I identify all the TCA members shown on camera... So, as pretty much everyone — with the possible exception of Chris Moore himself — figured going in, Shane Dawson's gross-out comedy "Not Cool" ended up beating Anna Martemucci's "Hollidaysburg" for the grand prize.

“The Chair” contender and YouTube star Shane Dawson feels that comments made by executive producers of the Starz competition, Zachary Quinto and Neal Dodson, and supporters of his competitor Anna Martemucci and her film “Hollidaysburg” were unfair and unprofessional. “I knew this was going to happen,” Dawson told TheWrap of Team “Hollidaysburg's” “hate campaign,” as he described it. Last week, TheWrap posted a guest blog from Dodson which detailed his extreme dislike for Dawson's movie “Not Cool” and why he felt that “Hollidaysburg” should win the competition. And last Saturday's episode showed Quinto's disgust with Dawson's film. He and Dodson ultimately.

Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, demons—they've been frightening kids for centuries, and with good reason. But children's brains are strange, malleable places that can perceive even the most unassuming figures—a cute, helpful Jedi Grand Master, a cuddly elephantine creature, a precocious baby dinosaur—as sinister agents of terror. Which brings us to today's Halloween-inspired PopWatch Confessional: What's the unintentionally scary thing that frightened you most when you were a kid?

Daniele Watts, the Django Unchained actress, and her boyfriend Brian Lucas have reportedly been charged with lewd conduct after allegedly being seen having sex in public.
Daniele Watts Charged With Lewd Conduct
Watts and Lucas were both charged with lewd conduct for allegedly having sex in the front seat of her car while parked outside CBS Studios. According to reports, witnesses working in an office nearby claim they saw Watts straddling her boyfriend with her breasts exposed on the afternoon of Sept. 11.
Watts, an African American actress, created a stir in September when she claimed that the police detained her unfairly because she was making out with her white boyfriend. “Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place,” Watts told her Facebook fans at the time.

With an overwhelming number of interesting scripted TV shows to choose from, I make almost no time for reality television anymore. The one exception of late has been Starz's "The Chair," which follows two directors — YouTube comedy star Shane Dawson and New York indie screenwriter Anna Martemucci — as they each attempt to make their first film, using the same script. Chris Moore, the central figure of the terrific "Project Greenlight," is the man behind this filmmaking experiment (even as old buddies Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are producing a "Greenlight" revival for HBO), and one of the most interesting things about the series is how transparent it is about the process. There's been talk about how Anna got her spot because she and her husband are tight with some of the projects financiers, how the entire show (which was produced on spec, with Starz getting involved later) is often short...

Maybe don’t try to murder your kid. Xoxo.
One-time Queen Bee of the Upper East Side Serena van der Woodsen (the TV alter-ego of one-time Queen Bee of Gossip Girl Blake Lively) would make a not terrible mother. That baby would always be dressed well and sure, maybe Serena would forget it at the Chanel store from time to time, but who doesn’t forget stuff now and then?
Blake — who is expecting her first child with husband Ryan Reynolds — will likely fare even better. Assuming she doesn’t follow Any of this parenting advice from the parents of Gossip Girl:
1. Lie About Who the Father of Your Baby Is.
In season three, Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) tells Dan (Penn Badgley) that he is the father of her unborn child. He does good by her — even though she’s a Psycho — and eventually raises the child as his own. But it’s not...

Starz's first reality series, "The Chair," is halfway through its terrific first season. Shot documentary style, the visually striking show follows two directors, Shane Dawson and Anna Martemucci, who produced theatrical films based on the same script. When it was first announced, the show seemed like a revival of HBO and Bravo's exceptional "Project Greenlight," which lasted three seasons and followed first-time directors making movies while being mentored by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The show made a star out of their "Good Will Hunting" producer, Chris Moore, thanks to his acerbic but genuine demeanor, and his forthright but honest criticism. Moore created "The Chair," and shortly after Starz announced the show last spring, HBO revealed that it would revive "Project Greenlight" with Affleck and Damon. As it turns out, Moore told me that he actually tried to resurrect "Project Greenlight." "That whole thing fell apart and didn't happen because of lawyers,...

"Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want.

Even with another flood of specialty film debuts, The Skeleton Twins, the dramedy starring Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader, had another impressive box office showing in its third weekend. Meanwhile, another dozen films tried to elbow past last week’s 14 newcomers and numerous others already in the market, to middling success among those reporting.
Other than Twins, the holdovers that look like they’re gaining some autumnal momentum include IFC Films‘ The Trip To Italy with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, and more niche-oriented films such as American Experience/PBS Films’ doc Last Days In Vietnam and Oscilloscope’s Art And Craft. Starz Media also scored a robust gross for the second week of Not Cool, featuring YouTube star Shane Dawson, as it migrated east to New York and was also profiled on a Starz channel doc series.
CBS Films’ Pride can be proud of scoring the weekend’s highest average among new titles.

On September 23rd, Shane Dawson's first feature-length film, Not Cool, arrived on iTunes. As soon as the film became available, Dawson told his followers to go buy it, and off they went. Within hours of its release, Not Cool has zoomed up the iTunes movie charts, reaching the #5 position. Not Cool tells the story of a former prom king, played by Dawson, who returns home for his first Thanksgiving break since leaving high school. During his break, he is reunited with a former classmate (Cherami Leigh), who has little love left for her hometown. Lisa Schwartz, Dawson's real-life girlfriend and a fellow YouTuber, co-stars. Not Cool was created by Dawson as part of The Chair, an unscripted Starz TV series about the independent filmmaking process. Dawson and filmmaker Anna Martemucci were given the same script and each asked to adapt it into a feature film. Martemucci's version, Hollidaysburg, is also set to debut.

The existence of Not Cool can be blamed on the Starz reality show The Chair, where two first-time feature directors took the same original screenplay, about a group of high school friends reconnecting while home on Thanksgiving break, to create two very different films -- this one helmed by YouTube personality Shane Dawson (and the other being Anna Martemucci’s not-bad Hollidaysburg).
Unsurprisingly, Dawson sticks with what he knows: outlandish, cheap gimmicks that capture our attention for all the wrong reasons. It’s shock value (drugs, sex, bodily fluids, and a lot of yelling) over any semblance of cleverness.

As reality TV approaches its 15th year of post-Real World maturity, the genre has a wide range of programs, from the stupid and scripted to the artful and insightful. Amid the clutter--this fall will see many new and returning reality TV shows on cable and broadcast--there are many highlights. Here are six things worth watching. Survivor and Amazing Race swap players and twists "Survivor" (Sept. 24) is on a streak: there's been season after season of solid, unpredictable game play along with a continued commitment to high-quality storytelling and production. Executive producer and host Jeff Probst, and the network, will try to keep that streak going by returning to last fall's Blood vs. Water format, which worked well, and by ditching the mostly loathed Redemption Island and replacing it with Exile Island. But they've also made some questionable casting decisions. John Rocker, the former baseball player best known for his bigoted ranting,...

In Starz’s competition series The Chair, two filmmakers are given the same script and the same budget—then challenged to make two different movies. Last week, we caught a glimpse of YouTube star Shane Dawson’s trailer, Not Cool, which featured a some broad humor. Today, we’ve got the new trailer for Anna Martemucci’s Hollidaysburg and some explanations from the director herself as to why she took her film in a more relaxed direction.
“I set out to make a classic teen sex comedy,” Martemucci said, noting she tried to include elements she hadn’t seen before,...

On Friday, July 4, YouTube viewers with a penchant for sight gags and parody were able to celebrate much more than the anniversary of the independence of the United States. That’s the day Shane Dawson released the first trailer for his upcoming major motion picture, Not Cool. The YouTube star turned burgeoning Hollywood player who is in possession of no less than a collective 12.1 million YouTube subscribers (across his ShaneDawsonTV, ShaneDawsonTV2, and Shane channels) and a development deal for a workplace comedy with NBC made the feature on a $900,000 budget as part of an as-of-yet-unaired Starz original series dubbed The Chair. The competition program pits Dawson against up-and-coming filmmaker Anna Martemucci. As the premise goes, both contestants were given the same screenplay and the same six-figure budget and then told to make their own independent movies. Dan Schoffer penned the screenplay for both versions of the flick. In Dawson’s iteration,...

In Starz’s competition series The Chair, two filmmakers are given the same script and the same budget—then challenged to make two different movies. YouTube star Shane Dawson is one of those directors. The trailer for his movie delivers just the sort of comedy his fans might expect, with sight gags aplenty. But Dawson also tells EW that he also tried moving away from his typical mode of comedy, using the feature film timeframe and budget to focus more on his characters.
