Basic Instinct was a cultural milestone in the 90s. It made a superstar out of Sharon Stone and ignited a subgenre of erotic thrillers that weren’t afraid to push the boundaries of the R rating. Paul Verhoeven, who has constantly battled the MPA with his past movies, including Robocop, helped to give Basic Instinct that raw edge that put it above other films of the genre. And now, you will be able to own the sexy thriller on 4K Blu-ray next month as Blu-ray.com reports that a special steelbook edition of Basic Instinct will be released on April 15 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
The film stars Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, George Dzundza, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Denis Arndt. It was directed by Verhoeven from a script by Joe Eszterhas. The description reads, “Michael Douglas stars as hardboiled San Francisco detective Nick Curran, a troubled cop with a history of trigger-happy...

Lester Holt announced today that he was stepping down as anchor of NBC Nightly News.
He’s been in the post for the past decade.
Holt will continue in his role until early summer, and then will take a full-time role at the newsmagazine Dateline.
No successor has been named.
“After 10 years, 17 if you include my years on the weekends, the time has come for me to step away from my role as anchor of Nightly News,” Holt wrote in a memo to staffers. “It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to work with each of you every day, keeping journalism as our true north and our viewers at the center of everything we do.”
Holt’s exit from Nightly News has long been rumored, but it comes amid tumult in the broadcast and cable news business, as linear television looks for ways to rein in costs.

Rebecca Kutler was named president of MSNBC Wednesday, dropping an “interim” designation from her title and taking on the mantle of moving the progressive network forward as it grapples not only with coverage of President Trump but splitting off from NBC in a spin-off being orchestrated by corporate parent Comcast.
In her short tenure at the helm, MSNBC’s ratings have begun to moderate after a significant post-election dip, largely on the strength of Rachel Maddow retuning to regular primetime appearances during Trump’s first 100 days in office. It will be up to Kutler to lead the network if, as previously announced, Maddow returns to her current once-a-week routine. She will also have to determine how to fill Andrea Mitchell’s noon spot — and, potentially, much of the daytime schedule, if MSNBC is separated from the newsgathering assets of NBC News in the spin-off.

At a moment when the news cycle is moving at a breakneck pace, top cable news executives are grappling with an uncomfortable reality: The future of the business has never been more uncertain. As one veteran executive argues, it is more likely than not that by the end of President Donald Trump’s term, CNN, MSNBC and, yes, even Fox News will have new ownership as the power structures that have defined media for the past four decades break down.
MSNBC is already set to be spun off from Comcast and NBCUniversal, joining sister channel CNBC at “SpinCo,” a cable-focused venture to be led by Mark Lazarus. And at Warner Bros. Discovery, a restructuring has placed CNN into a “global linear networks” division, seemingly destined for future dealmaking.

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal officially announce what appears to be a long-awaited When Harry Met Sally… (1989) reunion between the iconic romantic comedy’s stars. Ryan and Crystal posted a brand-new image of the rom-com’s two lead characters replicating the final scene of the film, in which Harry Burns (Crystal) and Sally Albright (Ryan) recount how they fell in love from the couch just like so many other married couples did throughout the course of the must-see motion picture.

CNN is expected to announce significant job cuts this week, part of CEO Mark Thompson’s long-in-the-works restructuring plans to place more emphasis on the digital future.
CNBC first reported on the job reductions, which could number in the hundreds. A CNN spokesperson declined comment.
As he has laid out a digital strategy, Thompson has long signaled that it would come with reductions in staff. The network went through a round of layoffs last year, with about 100 people impacted, or 2.9% of a 3,500 employee workforce.
The network has sought new avenues for raising revenue, launching a paywall last fall on CNN.com, which is one of the highest trafficked news sites in the world. But its linear network has had to grapple with sagging ratings. Figures such as Chris Wallace and Alisyn Camerota have recently departed the network as their contracts expired.

Jim Parsons, who originated the role of (old) Sheldon Cooper on Chuck Lorre's hit CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," may be hesitant about returning to the role ... but his on-screen wife Mayim Bialik, who played Amy Farrah Fowler on the series, has a very different take on the idea.
Bialik, who recently guest-starred on the NBC reboot of "Night Court", told Yahoo that she had a great time reuniting with Rauch and that she would love to bring "The Big Bang Theory" back in some shape or form. "With all due respect to Jim, I think that there's a lot of interest and love for these characters and I'd be super happy to get to revisit [it] in any way," Bialik told the outlet, keeping Parsons' less optimistic words in mind.

Over the past 12 months, Elon Musk continued his streak of somehow finding a way into just about every social-political conversation, it seemed, something that was readily apparent in his midyear endorsement of Donald Trump.
As the co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, a made-up department designed to identify areas of the federal government to cut, Musk inevitably will be that provocateur once again.
The wild card is ego, as there may be only so much space in the spotlight for the world’s richest man and the world’s most powerful one. After all, Barack Obama’s relentless mocking of Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner has been seen as a tipping point that led to the then-The Apprentice host’s first White House bid; Likewise, it was Joe Biden’s diss of Musk at a White House electric-vehicle event that help set off the latter’s migration from left to right.

Let’s just say that they are all doing an about face. There’s heavy speculation that suggests the mainstream media is panicking over Donald Trump and that’s why they are now changing the way that they operate. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
The Mainstream Media Is Panicking Over Donald Trump
According to the latest reports, it seems like the mainstream media is dismantling it. Chris Wallace is set to quit CNN as he apparently seems to think the mainstream media is dying and says he is thinking about getting into podcasting.
Wallace told the Daily Beast that streaming and podcasting is “where the action seems to be.”
“This is the first time in 55 years I’ve been between jobs. I am actually excited and liberated by that,” Wallace said. Wallace, who has ‘beef’ with Tucker Carlson, appears to be inspired by Tucker’s success away from the mainstream media.

In one of its first post-election personnel moves, CNN has promoted David Chalian to svp and Washington, D.C. bureau chief, a key role as the next Trump administration looks to staff up amid the presidential transition frame.
In the role, the cable news network says Chalian will now oversee all political coverage for CNN as well as polling, decision desk coverage and political programming.
Chalian — who led editorial direction on the infamous Joe Biden-Donald Trump CNN debate in June that drew 51 million viewers and spurred Biden to eventually drop out — will continue to appear on-air to break down key political moves.
In March, CNN’s Washington bureau chief Sam Feist, who had held the job since 2011, departed the network to take the CEO role at C-span, the cable-funded non-profit.
Chalian joined the network in 2013 from Politico, where he oversaw video efforts. He previously held roles at Yahoo!

Chris Wallace may not be the most obvious artistic muse, but Grammy-winner Jon Batiste owes some credit to the veteran newsman for inspiring his latest musical experiment.
Last year, the pianist and composer was a guest on the CNN/Max show Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. Remarking on how Batiste bridges divides with such category-scrambling efforts as his album World Music Radio and his magnum opus American Symphony (inspiring the Oscar-nominated doc of the same name) Wallace put him on the spot. “Can you show us how you can break a barrier, a musical barrier, go from one genre to another,” he asked.
The New Orleans native — whose career has taken him from Juilliard to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to the highest echelons of jazz, pop and classical — happily obliged.
He turned to the piano and began playing Beethoven’s Für Elise, gradually infusing it with blue notes and gospel chords.

Chris Wallace is one of the most recognizable faces on CNN, but that’s about to change. On Monday (November 11), the anchor abruptly announced that he was leaving the network after three years, and more than two decades on TV. The 77-year-old told The Daily Beast he is venturing into streaming or podcasting “where the action seems to be.” He mentioned how podcasters like Joe Rogan were highly influential during the 2024 presidential election. “I don’t flatter myself to think I will have that sort of reach,” he joked, sharing his admiration for big figures in that space. According to the outlet, Wallace’s decision to walk away from a “seven-figure contract” comes at a turning point in cable TV, where many anchors face salary cuts and are leaving broadcasting behind. Wallace, who joined CNN after nearly 20 years at Fox News, guided millions of viewers through CNN’s election night coverage last week.

CNN confirmed Wallace would leave three years after he initially signed on after leaving Fox News to do so. The typical anchor contract in the news business is for a similar amount of time. CNN tried to convince Wallace to stay, according to a person familiar with the matter.

“He is kind of capital G, George, and he works really hard to make you forget that and feel comfortable,” the Pitch Perfect star said of her experience acting alongside Clooney. Kendrick made the comments to CNN’s Chris Wallace, recalling her memories from shooting Up in the Air scenes with Clooney over a decade ago.
“The very, very first shot that he and I did together was my first shot in the movie,” Kendrick said. “We were standing on this people mover, and we’re kind of waiting and the camera is pretty far away and he said, ‘God, do you get nervous on the first day? I get so nervous. Do you get insecure? I get really insecure.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, I do, George,...

Most of the nation’s big TV-news anchors used the same phrase throughout Election Night: “We’re not there yet.” As things turned out, they were.
TV networks came to the 2024 Election ready for a rehash of the one they covered in 2020. Executives had 24-hour coverage sessions mapped out for the battle between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and expected, based on polls, to have political panels at the ready through the weekend. The belief was that, like last time, swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona would need days to tabulate the results. Before midnight, however, the crystal ball became more clear. On NBC, around 11 p.m., Lester Holt chided his colleagues for starting to speak as if the whole thing had been decided. “This is beginning to sound like a post-mortem,” he cautioned.

As the polls began to close Tuesday evening, CNN host Chris Wallace shared the opinion that Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party need to pull off “a miracle” to win the presidential election over Donald Trump, given the country’s majority negative opinion of incumbent President Biden observed in the network’s own early exit polls.
“When you see current voters saying, by a three-to-one margin, that they are dissatisfied with the country… with the present conditions in the country. In conventional terms, it would be a miracle that Kamala Harris could win with that kind of headwind,” Wallace said during a panel conversation on the network Tuesday evening. “Remember she was part of the administration. The Biden-Harris administration was 41% approved, 58% disapproved. That’s not even close to 50%.
“If she is able to overcome those numbers and still win this election, then she has done a remarkable job of somehow...

Election Day is here, and the major news networks are prepared for a long night — and potentially a long week.
With over 50 million people early voting in the 2024 Presidential Election, Tuesday night will offer plenty of results to thumb through even if an ultimate winner isn’t called until later in the week, and most of the news networks will kick off their election night coverage at 6 p.m. Et, with CNN even starting at 12 a.m. Et while NBC News begins at 5 p.m. Et.
MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki will return to the Big Board — and will even be livestreamed on Peacock and other social platforms — while Fox News will see Bill Hemmer steering the “Bill”-board.
Most networks have scheduled eight hours of election night programming from 6 p.m. Et to 2 a.m. Et, with a result for the presidential showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump not expected immediately.

Although Justin Hartley has a huge hit with the CBS series Tracker, many still talk about his former character on This Is Us, Kevin Pearson. Kevin, a member of the Big Three, was the eldest of the triplets, and is a controversial character.
Now, Hartley, who played Kevin Pearson between 2016 and 2022 has something to say about him. Is Kevin Pearson an a**hole?
Justin Hartley/Credit: The Kelly Clarkson Show YouTube Does Justin Hartley Think HIs This Is Us Character Kevin Pearson Is A Bad Guy?
This Is Us fans may love the Big Three, but they are quick to point out Kevin Pearson’s flaws. Often described as self-centered and maybe not as mature as his younger siblings, Kevin created a lot of conflict. However, Justin Hartley has a different opinion about the character that he portrayed for six seasons. The 47-year-old was on Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace and talked about Kevin.

How did Arnold Schwarzenegger replace O.J. Simpson in The Terminator? ( Photo Credit – Flickr )
Imagine if O.J. Simpson, not Arnold Schwarzenegger, was the cyborg in The Terminator! A twist of fate turned the NFL star into a “what if?” in Hollywood history. Let’s dive into the drama that led to Arnie’s rise as the definitive Terminator—and how a twist of fate turned a casting curveball into one of cinema’s most legendary roles.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: From Reese to the Terminator
Initially, Schwarzenegger wasn’t even eyeing the Terminator role; he was up for Kyle Reese, the human resistance fighter. “I wanted to play Reese,” Schwarzenegger said, recounting how he and Cameron butted heads over the casting. Meanwhile, O.J. Simpson was reportedly in talks to step into the Terminator’s leather boots, already cast by the studio (though no contract was signed).
Cameron had other ideas. During his discussions with Schwarzenegger,...

Breaking Bad is easily one of the most popular shows of all time, but when it first debuted back in 2008 it was considered a risk even by the standards of cable television at the time. During an interview, lead star Bryan Cranston who played the role of Walter White described the series as an experiment and a dark one at that.
Breaking Bad is considered one of the best television shows (Credit: AMC).
Cranston explained how the show broke the conventions of traditional television in some aspects that made the audiences essentially guinea pigs concerning the content they were being fed. Creator Vince Gilligan resonated with Cranston’s comments and agreed that the show was designed as an experiment. Here is everything you need to know about the Breaking Bad experiment.

Mayim Bialik always had Jim Parsons in her corner, and that’s something she’ll never forget. Back when The Big Bang Theory was still dominating screens, Parsons went to bat for Bialik, standing up to the show’s producers when things got heated. He wasn’t just playing a genius on TV—he was one behind the scenes too, making sure Bialik got the respect she deserved.

Parsons proved that loyalty and friendship could still exist in the cutthroat world of Hollywood. Looking back, Bialik knows that without his fight, her journey on the show might’ve been a whole different story. And for that, she’ll always be grateful.

Despite what series creator Chuck Lorre may have planned, The Big Bang Theory star and Young Sheldon producer Jim Parsons can’t find a reason to return to the franchise. Lorre, however, can find millions.
Back in May, Lorre’s second TV show based around child-prodigy-turned-theoretical-physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper wrapped up its seventh season in the Young Sheldon series finale. The final episode merged the worlds of Lorre’s original multi-camera smash-hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory with his slower, more emotional coming-of-age comedy/drama in a bittersweet finale that saw Parsons appear as Old Sheldon one last time, a moment that hit close to home for both fans of the franchise and the performers themselves. Parsons’ last on-screen performance as the character who has come to define his career prior to cameo on Young Sheldon was in The Big Bang Theory’s own series finale five years prior, and,...

Jim Parsons, the Emmy-winning actor who famously portrayed the brilliant Sheldon Cooper for 12 seasons on The Big Bang Theory, has ruled out a return to the role... at least for now. Besides starring as the character in the popular sitcom from 2007 to 2019, Parsons served as an executive producer and narrator for the show's Young Sheldon spin-off. For that show's final episode, which aired in May, Parsons returned as Sheldon on-camera.
As the Big Bang Theory universe continues to grow, it's only natural to wonder if we'll see more of Parsons as the beloved character. While appearing on Who's Talking To Chris Wallace? (via EW) Wallace asked Parsons if he would consider appearing in a "reboot of Big Bang Theory or, God forbid, a reunion show." Parsons answered:
"As we sit here now, no, but I also I would I never say never to anything, because life just changes so much.

According to Jim Parsons, 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory were enough. People reports the award-winning actor recently appeared on Whos Talking to Chris Wallace and shut down the idea of rebooting the series anytime soon. The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS from 2007-2019.
"As we sit here now, no, but I also I would I never say never to anything, because life just changes so much," Parsons said. "You know, one of the things is that it was so special as what it was as what it is. And they call it lightning in a bottle for a reason, and you can be certain it wouldn't be that. And so why would we be doing it? I dont know thats how I feel on that right now. But like I say, God willing, life is very long, he added.

CNN on Tuesday morning will take its second swing at trying to boost revenue from streaming video and digital content.
Most users of CNN.com will likely see no change in the experience they have each time they visit CNN.com, one of the biggest news sites in digital media. Heavy users, however, will be asked to consider starting a subscription to the site, which will begin to offer more content behind a paywall that executives at the Warner Bros. Discovery outlet hope will entice them to pay a little extra: $3.99 a month, or $29.99 a year. The company unveiled its subscription hopes in July.

Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, was known to be very liberal and championed “diversity and inclusion” until it wasn’t profitable. Now, under his leadership, the company is walking it back.
When Bob Chapek was briefly in charge of the Walt Disney Company, he tried to walk back politics and agenda by staying out of the situation in Florida. This led to Disney employees demanding the CEO and company take a side in the Parental Rights and Education Bill in Florida (Don’t Say Gay.)
During this period of unrest, Bob Iger appeared in a Chris Wallace interview and threw kerosene on the fire by saying it’s a “right and wrong” topic, and boycotts and backlash don’t matter.

According to the latest reports, the former president has called for ABC News to get their license taken away after their abysmal debate moderation last night.
Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis are under fire for their continuous fact-checks of Trump without any for Harris.
A lot of people have even noticed that the moderators not only fact-checked Trump but they were also caught giving Harris “toss-ups” during the debate.
Some critics on both sides of the aisle even believe that Harris was able to incorrectly claim a few things, such as the “Fine People” hoax and the “Bl**dbath” hoax without any correction from the moderators.

Dennis Quaid is looking back at his previous marriage to Meg Ryan and sharing the best thing that came out of their relationship.
The Reagan actor was recently interviewed on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, where host Chris Wallace asked him if being in the spotlight — and being labeled one of “Hollywood’s golden couples” — impacted their relationship. The pair were married from 1991 to 2001.
“When I met Meg, I was here as far as career thing, and she was here,” Quaid recalled, holding one hand representing himself above his hand representing Ryan. “And then it just [switched] like that,” he added as he inverted his hand positions.
“I try to be a big person and tell myself that it didn’t bother me, but people are human,” Quaid said of his ex-wife’s rising popularity at the time. “She was ascending as I went into rehab.”

The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are giants in their field with a passionate fan following you rarely get to see. On the surface, the leads of the two shows, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and Walter White (Bryan Cranston) may seem similar. Both of them are complex characters, with their morality in question. However, there is something that sets the two apart.

While Tony is a mafia head from the start, Walter is a simple common man – a high school teacher and a victim of cancer. Driven into the world of drugs by his desperation, Walter garnered a ton of empathy from the viewers as they could, on some level, relate with his character. The drug part aside, Walter was just a man trying to provide for his family, against all odds. Despite his wrongdoings, the fans love him and Bryan Cranston knows exactly why.

Update: Donald Trump defended his personal attacks on Kamala Harris, despite some suggestions from allies that he focus on issues of the economy and the border.
“I think I am entitled to personal attacks,” Trump told reporters at a press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, NJ. “I don’t have a lot of respect for her.”
Trump noted that Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have been engaged in their own personal attacks, calling him and Jd Vance “weird.”
The press conference appeared to be a Trump campaign effort to get the candidate to do a bit of a reset. For the first 50 minutes or so, Trump read from notes, hammering Harris on the economy as well as the border and crime. Behind him were props of household goods, designed to emphasize the rise in prices during the Biden administration.
But Trump often meandered into different subjects.
