The singer, 35, shared a photo of herself from her Las Vegas residency on Instagram Thursday, writing in the caption, “We’ll get through this together ❤️ See you Wednesday #VegasStrong.”

“The Power of Love” singer returned to the stage of her Vegas residency at The Colosseum inside Caesars Palace on Tuesday evening with a touching tribute.

“I hope that you’re doing okay … Before we start the show, I need to talk to you for a moment,” a tearful Dion told the crowd. “I never start the show like this but tonight is very different. On Sunday we lost too many beautiful,...

Las Vegas will start to crank back up to normal as many of its most popular shows are ready to return to the stage ... but not all. The Blue Man Group, Penn & Teller, David Copperfield, Wayne Newton, Eddie Griffin, Piff the Magic Dragon and Chippendales will all return to action Tuesday night after canceling performances Monday in the wake of the massacre.

"He wants you, too, Malachai!" It changed the way some people looked at crops, and it might have even changed the way you listened to Kim Wilde's "Kids in America," and this September, Children of the Corn (based on the Stephen King short story of the same name) will be coming out on a new Blu-ray from Arrow Video, including a 2K restoration from the original negative and a new audio commentary.

From Arrow Video: "New Us Title: Children of the Corn (Blu-ray)

Based on a short story by Stephen King, The Children of the Corn is a horror classic that has spawned multiple sequels and imitators, but none as harrowing as this masterpiece of horror.

Bowling balls are typically used for bowling, but as you'll learn today, they can be used for a lot more. Mainly just destroying stuff that only looks cool if you have a camera that captures incredibly fast frame rates. Every time I watch a Slo-Mo guys video I always imagine how much more boring it is to actually watch the experiment. Like, half of this stuff happens within a second at the most, so everyone here is just standing around watching and you really don't see how cool it is until you see the replay. I've rambled on too long, see their latest video, which features The Blue Man Group, below. ...

Doctor Who fans woke up to the news this morning that Peter Capaldi, the show’s twelfth incarnation of The Doctor, is leaving the show. His departure is not entirely unexpected, as it coincides with the exit of the showrunner Steven Moffat, who has been with the show since Matt Smith took over the role.

It is bittersweet ending for Capaldi’s Doctor, who had to follow the double act of the aforementioned Smith and David Tennant. The show struggled to find its feet with Capaldi initially, however under Capaldi’s reign the show has seen some of its finest hours. We loved his entanglements with Missy, and his one man show Heaven Sent from Series Nine is one of the best episodes of the show’s entire run.

Fun with the kids! Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, took their twins, Harper and Gideon, for a fun weekend outing on Saturday.

The foursome attended a matinee performance of The Blue Man Group in New York City at the Astor Place Theater.

The famous family weren’t the only celebs in the audience. The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies also attended the show and met the performers backstage.

From The Boxer's Omen to the genuine unpleasantness of Calamity Of Snakes, we take a look at a stomach-churning subgenre of cinema...

In 1975, Ho Meng Hua’s Black Magic cast its spell over Chinese audiences and summoned up a subgenre that produced some of the most extreme, esoteric and stomach-churning horror films of all time. Between the late 70s and early 80s, Chinese black magic movies were pumped out en masse, feeding audiences their fill of evil sorcery and twisted moralizing. The formula usually featured some poor schmuck enlisting a dark wizard to help them achieve something (more often than not, something sexual) and finding that the forces they’ve unleashed are more than they can handle. Cue the flamboyant special effects and abundant nudity.

These films took inspiration from authentic folk magic for their various spells and rituals which, sadly, means they frequently feature real animal slaughter.

There’s a problem with Season 9 of The Voice, and amazingly, it has nothing to do with Adam Levine’s decision to shave his head during the Battle and Knockout Rounds.

Things may have gotten a little too close for comfort when Hugh Jackman stopped by The Tonight Show on Monday. During Hugh's appearance, he and Jimmy Fallon played a game of Phone Booth with Shaquille O'Neal. Every time a contestant answered a trivia question incorrectly, or if the opposing player got theirs right, a mystery guest joined one of the stars in their booth. The game got even more interesting when Jimmy brought out a flock of surprise stars including Alex Trebek, Megan Boone, and The Blue Man Group. Watch the fun game above, then watch Jimmy throw hilarious shade at Miley Cyrus in a recent episode.

Fred Armisen will join Seth Meyers's inaugural season of Late Night as the show's band leader. Armisen, 47, is a musician as well as an actor, and will perform with 8G Band on the NBC talk show Meyers has taken over from Jimmy Fallon. "Fred will curate and lead the band, and continue to run it even when he's off shooting Portlandia," Meyers Tweeted Monday. Prior to Saturday Night Live, Armison was a drummer with the punk rock band Trenchmouth. He also performed with The Blue Man Group in the mid 90s, the The Hollywood Reporter says. Fallon's band, The Roots,...

Typically, this is where you would find an intro. You’re reading this because you want something to explain what this article is about. Look up at the title. Now look down. Below, you’ll find a list of the top ten villains who maybe aren’t so evil after all. So see? You didn’t need this paragraph after all. You could have figured that out on your own. This is really just here to take up space and give you something to skip over on your way to the list. No more screwing around, I promise. Here it is:

Seven years might have passed between the end of "Arrested Development" Season 3 and the beginning of Season 4, but don't expect any of the show's central characters to have changed dramatically. If Tony Hale is to be believed, his character Buster Bluth has actually regressed in terms of his maturity.

"Buster has not matured. I think the first series he was probably around a 7-year-old maturity. I'd say now he's probably at a 5," Hale tells Zap2it in a recent interview. "He's gone back. Well, he's just gotten worse and worse. I think there's just probably years and years of isolation. I mean, going to the pharmacy's a big day for him, so if he can get out of the house, that's a big day."

He adds, "He's still got his juice addiction. I think he might have some support groups for his juice addiction that we don't know about. But that's his vice,...

Nothing puts you in the mood for your favorite movie or television show better than a great theme song. And nobody, and we mean nobody, does theme songs like the horror genre does. We've got 11 of the best here to prove that point.

"The Sopranos" had a great intro with "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3, and there have been some pretty great cartoon theme songs like "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons". Hell, even the old "Batman" theme song was a damn catchy tune, but honestly, horror dominates memorable theme songs. Just take a look at the list below, and we didn't even include some great ones like "Pet Sematary" by The Ramones, Dokken's "Dream Warriors" (written for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors) or "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" by Alice Cooper, written for Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives. (Consider those the honorable mentions!

Welcome to the "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made "Ad" one of our most beloved TV comedies. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix. Today we're covering the Season 2 episode "Afternoon Delight," which premiered Dec. 19, 2004.

Plot: It's holiday time for the Bluths, which means it's the annual Bluth company Christmas party. When Gob gets mad at the employees laughing at him and fires them all, Michael and Maeby organize a second party at the Banana Stand to un-fire them. Meanwhile, Buster misses Army training to play the claw machine at an arcade and Oscar gets Lucille high to calm her down after she thinks she has had an intruder -- who turned out to be Tobias, dressed as a Blue Man Group member, sustaining a concussion via Lucille.

[Note: This episode landed "Arrested Development" the enviable honor of being named the "Worst TV Show of the Week" by the always humorless Parents Television Council. Among the PTC's complaints: "one or two plotlines cross the line by involving the institutions of marriage and family in such a negative way that it becomes offensive to adult viewers and potentially damaging to children who see it."

Because there is no such thing as too much Celebrity Apprentice, NBC treated (if that’s the right word) us to a three hour episode this evening of Donald Trump firing people. That’s right — people, as in more than one. That’s because tonight’s extravaganza was actually two episodes condensed into one. (So, yes, in essence I am complaining that it should have actually been a four hour episode, but I realize I may be alone in that sentiment.) My full recap will be up at 2am (Update: Click to read Dalton’s full Celebrity Apprentice recap) , but...

Malachai and Isaac. Those names always "crop" up anytime someone mentions Children of the Corn. But there was another character as equally essential to the story who's "live" footage so to say, was trimmed from the final theatrical version. Once having almost stopped the entity know only as He Who Walks Behind The Rows, Officer Hodgekiss, a.k.a. The Blue Man, met an untimely demise that was to serve as an example for anyone who defied the ruling of Isaac. But what exactly happened to The Blue Man? As it goes in editing, it seems that footage involving a revealing scene was cut but promotional stills were used for various advertising materials and media outlets. Recently, we had the opportunity to talk with Rich Kleinberg who played the very much alive version (for a while anyways) of the iconic blue figure to discuss train stations, body doubles and petitions.

Ching Siu Tung and Tsui Hark’s 1987 immortal classic of Hong Kong cinema “A Chinese Ghost Story” returns to screens in a new version with “Ip Man” series director Wilson Yip at the helm. Wisely, although a remake, the film makes an effort to do something a little different with the original Liaozhai source material, staying true to its themes whilst taking a different approach to its characters and their relationships. Unsurprisingly, the highly anticipated film was a major blockbuster release, boasting extensive special effects work from a top Korean team, and an all star cast headed by popular leading man Louis Koo (“Don’t go Breaking my Heart”), Liu Yifei, (“The Forbidden Kingdom”) and Yu Shaoqun, (“Shaolin”), with support from veteran Kara Hui (who featured in many Shaw Brothers hits such as “Legendary Weapons of China”), Fan Siu Wong (“Ip Man”), and, most excitingly, old school Hong Kong genre...

In 2002, the summer before his senior of high school, Eric Glustrom left his home in Boulder, Colorado, and headed to Uganda to make a film about the refugees there. After meeting the refugees, he knew he had to do more and so he started Educate!, an organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of young leaders through an innovative education curriculum. In the years since, Educate!, under Eric's leadership has trained hundreds of students to be leaders and social entrepreneurs. In fact, their work has been so effective, that Eric and the Educate! team have asked by the Ugandan government to create a social entrepreneurship curriculum that can be used on a countrywide basis. Eric spoke with us about his journey to create Educate! and about the work he is doing today, as a member of this change generation, helping to cultivate the next change generation.

What's your big idea?...

     I honestly don't know what to make of this. The Blue Man Group are absolute geniuses when it come to live performance, but the idea of them making a fiction feature is a little weird. Even weirder is the distribution deal they got. The group's three original founders signed on to have their live-action comedy Blue Man Group: Mind Blast up on both standard theaters and IMAX 3D. That's fine - everybody does it and their act is probably even crazier on...

Between the global box office success of "The Final Destination 3-D" and the film festival kudos for Joe Dante's "The Hole," the new wave of 3-D cinema has been validated in a way that elevates the format above being a mere trend. And everyday we're hearing about more film projects being developed for 3-D screens.

Today's two entries involve popular franchises, though their respective films will be completely different. One is an updated re-imagining of George Romero's zombie classic "Night of the Living Dead," which director Simon West ("Con Air") will produce as a CG-dependent flick directed by newbie filmmaker Zebediah De Soto. The other is the first feature film based on the stage show Blue Man Group, which is being distributed by National Geographic Entertainment.

The former project has a new title, "Night of the Living Dead: Origins," and it will reportedly involve more character development than Romero's original.
