In her new movie called Family Weekend, Kristin Chenoweth gets abducted and strapped to a chair by her daughter, who demands more quality time with her.

How Much Innuendo Can You Read Into This One Celebrity Item?

But as you know, it's been dividing people more than anything since Coke Zero. Here's what someone on the All Th ... More >>

Adam Lambert Slams Les Miserables

American Idol personality Adam Lambert feels the movie of Les Miserables is more than a near Mis. It made him crazy! Lambert tweeted: "Visually impressive with great Emotional performances.

Three Locks For Best Actor Already

That's what insiders are saying--the kind of insiders who are usually right sometimes. Oscar's Best Actor locks already seem to be: Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln Duh.

Who Should Star In The Broadway Musical Of Magic Mike?

There was talk of just such a project right before the male-disrobing epic opened, and since it had a boffo (or buff-o?) weekend at the box office, the musical will surely come.

Guess Who Barbra's Considered To Play Herbie in Gypsy?

​She's even talked to him about it! Hugh Jackman! That's a long stretch from the kvetchy Jack Klugman in the original show and pinched-faced Karl Malden in the movie. And as our friends at lemonwade.com point it, it would make the character of Rose a big time cougar (not just a barracuda).
