On the Friday, January 24 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Li burst into tears. She found out that Jack isn’t Luna’s father. Poppy and Jack were telling the truth all along. Li was open to mending her broken relationship with Poppy, but it probably won’t last.

Do You Forgive Me?

Li (Naomi Matsuda) had some explaining to do during Friday’s episode. She realized the paternity test was negative. Jack (Ted King) isn’t Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) father, leaving this mystery wide open. Li was convinced for decades that Poppy (Romy Park) meddled with her marriage. It was bad enough when Jack had a hot affair with supervillain Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). Who knows who else he could’ve slept with?

Li did something that most characters refuse to do on B&b. She apologized to Poppy for speaking poorly about her for years. Li slammed...

If you’re looking for some dark synthwave to add to your Halloween playlist this year, video game composer and producer Megan McDuffee has released second album Crimson Legacy.

After working in the film and gaming industries for over 15 years on titles such as the River City Girls games, Apex Legends Mobile, RetroRealms’ Ash Vs. Evil Dead & Halloween, all 9 Atari Recharged games, and winning multiple awards for her scores, McDuffee’s new album draws inspiration from a wide range of artists including Puscifer, Massive Attack, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, The Cure, Iamx, Infected Mushroom, and Zeromancer.

The press release previews, “With that diverse list of influences alone, audiences will know that Crimson Legacy will have a lot of component parts, but, in McDuffee’s own tradition, they will be expertly blended into something entirely different and wholly her own. With her trademark heavy retro synths, McDuffee incorporates a number of...

Exclusive: Indie studio Wiip has optioned Amanda Eyre Ward’s 2022 novel The Lifeguards. In Sue Tenney’s followup to the Netflix hit Virgin River, which she developed and served as executive producer/showrunner on for four seasons, she will tackle The Lifeguard‘s TV adaptation with fellow former Virgin River writer-producer Amy Palmer Robertson for what the duo are promising to be “a sexy, soapy, domestic suspense series.”

Combining three mothers’ points of view in a narrative tale with commentary from neighborhood listservs, secret text messages, and police reports, The Lifeguards, is both a story about the secrets we tell to protect the ones we love, and a riveting novel of suspense filled with half-truths and betrayals, fierce love and complicated friendships, and the loss of innocence on one hot summer night.

“The mothers and teenage sons of The Lifeguards are close to my heart,” Ward said. “From the moment...

Byte Barrel is trying something new after giving Lovecraft fans some love with the Forgive Me Father series. The developer has announced a vampire-themed first-person shooter in Trust, which will be coming to Steam. The game was revealed during Steam’s Boomstock 2024 event, and will feature immersive elements, comic-style graphics, lots of blood, and “surprisingly stylish patrol units.”

In Trust, you play as a vampire who has awakened from a centuries-long sleep. The world you knew is long gone. Discovering the truth about the immense power that vampire blood offers changed the course of the war between humanity and creatures of the night. Unfortunately, your kind was not on the winning side in this war. As a result, blood reactors and batteries from vampire hearts began generating electricity for entire cities, powering cars, everyday objects, as well as deadly weapons. Now, you’re out to change that.

On your quest to regaining your power,...

The films Dutch director Cyrus Frisch has made thus far are controversial, erratic and politically engaged. With the recent re-release of his films Dazzle (original title: Oogverblindend), Blackwater Fever, and Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me It Would Become This Bad in Afghanistan on Vimeo On Demand, it is a good time to get (re-)acquainted with his work. After a number of short films and television programs with which he made a name for himself, he made his feature film debut in 2001 with Forgive Me. Forgive Me is one of the most challenging films I have seen recently. But like any of Frisch's films, it invites you to look deeper. In Forgive Me, Frisch deliberately pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable. He was alarmed...

Sunday brought a close to the 10th Life Is Beautiful music festival in Las Vegas, and with it the end of the summer festival season. Life Is Beautiful, which has taken place in the city every year for the past decade (save for a pandemic-related 2020 cancellation), brought tens of thousands of concertgoers downtown, many in the psychedelic and post-Y2K fashion that’s been so common at festivals for the past several years, though this time with a fair amount of Barbie influence, too.

“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” scene-stealer Richard E. Grant has been a favorite of critics for his role as a down-on-his-luck grifter, but in January Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”) started building what may be unstoppable momentum in the Best Supporting Actor race, winning the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award and SAG Award for his performance as a pianist facing racism in the Jim Crow South. But is he really unstoppable? We think Grant could beat him at the BAFTAs.

As of this writing Grant gets leading odds of 17/5, and he’s predicted to win by five of the six Expert journalists we have polled thus far: Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Tariq Khan (Fox TV), Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby), Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) and Adnan Virk.

Mahershala Ali is comfortably out front to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for “Green Book” after his wins at the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards. But there remains a big unanswered question about this race: will the academy want to reward him again so soon? It has been just two years since he won for “Moonlight.” That’s not unprecedented, of course, but you have to go back decades to find actors who claimed two Oscars so quickly.

No one has won multiple acting Oscars in two years or less in any category since Tom Hanks went back-to-back in the Best Actor race: “Philadelphia” (1993) and “Forrest Gump” (1994) — that’s 24 years ago. You have to go back a lot farther than that to find such a quick repeat specifically in the Best Supporting Actor race. It happened to Jason Robards 41 years ago when he won two in a...

In Fox Searchlight’s dramedy Can You Ever Forgive Me?, comedy star Melissa McCarthy turns another corner raising her drama game as late curmudgeon and celebrity biographer Lee Israel who when her career went south, she went criminal selling off forged author letters.

Today at Deadline’s Contenders in New York, director Marielle Heller described the challenges of recreating 1991 in the Big Apple, and how such artsy neighborhoods were becoming rare.

“I was trying to capture a New York that is lost, a time when artists lived in New York and bookstores were a really exciting prospect. We were trying to capture lightning in a bottle before it disappeared.” And disappear it did. There were literally bookstores that the production wanted to use as locations that went out of business.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards announced their nominations on November 16, and “Eighth Grade,” “First Reformed” and “You Were Never Really Here” cleaned up with four bids apiece, including Best Feature. But the most nominated film of the year, “We the Animals” with five, isn’t up for that top award. See the complete list of nominations here.

“Eighth Grade,” “First Reformed” and “Never Really Here” are joined in the top category by “If Beale Street Could Talk” and “Leave No Trace,” which have three total noms apiece. And while “We the Animals” isn’t in that lineup, it does contend for Best First Feature along with “Hereditary,” “Sorry to Bother You,” “The Tale” and “Wildlife.”

We swear, this is the first photo of Academy Award nominee Melissa McCarthy playing a world famous celebrity forger. Fox Searchlight released a new still from the upcoming “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” on Wednesday night, that sees McCarthy play biographer and notorious faker Lee Israel. Israel was a successful biographer during her heyday in the ’70s and ’80s, writing tomes on cosmetics empress Estée Lauder and actress Tallulah Bankhead. Her career stagnated in the years following, with a resurgence in the ’90s after unearthing never-seen letters from icons like Dorothy Parker and Noël Coward. Except they weren’t from Parker or Coward.

Happy holiday from Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt!

The couple posed for their first Christmas-themed photo shoot with 9-week-old son Gunner Stone with a teepee set against a Southern California canyon background. This year’s season is particularly special for new parents Montag, 31, and Pratt, 34, as it will be their inaugural celebrations with their baby boy.

Weeks later, the scandal surrounding Harvey Weinstein's alleged history of sexual harassment only seems to intensify. Stars have continued to come forward with stories about the producer, who is now being investigated by police in Los Angeles, New York and London. But could he be charged for the claims of sexual assault and rape leveled against him? And how has he -- and Hollywood -- reacted to new allegations?

Here's the latest on the scandal, from police investigations to the social media movement that sparked a conversation about sexual harassment in Hollywood.

Can Weinstein be charged for the allegations?

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told Et on Thursday that they are currently investigating Weinstein after a woman came forward alleging that he sexually assaulted her in 2013. The woman remains anonymous, but detailed her allegations to The Los Angeles Times, claiming that the producer "bullied his way into my hotel room" and alleging that he "then...

Channing Tatum is dissolving his relationship with the Weinstein Company. Amid the wave of accusations of sexual harassment pinned to Harvey Weinstein and recently his brother and TWC co-founder Bob Weinstein, the actor and producer took to social media to announce that he has pulled his project, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock — a story dealing with the issue of sexual abuse — from TWC and will not work with the company on any future endeavors. “Our lone project in…...

Channing Tatum is cutting all ties with Harvey Weinstein and the company still bearing his name.

On Wednesday, the actor announced his plans to part ways with The Weinstein Company on Facebook, and expressed his support for the women who have come forward and accused Weinstein of sexual harassment or assault.

“The brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their truth about Harvey Weinstein are true heroes to us,” said Tatum and his producing partner, Reid Carolin, in a joint statement. “They are lifting the heavy bricks to build the equitable world we all deserve to live in.

Channing Tatum no longer wants to be associated with Harvey Weinstein or the company he co-founded.

On Wednesday, the 37-year-old actor -- who had a role in The Hateful Eight, which was produced by the movie mogul -- took to Facebook to reveal that in addition to expressing his support for the women who have come forward alleging that Weinstein sexually harassed and/or assaulted them, he was also taking action.

"The brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their truth about Harvey Weinstein are true heroes to us," said Tatum and his producing partner, Reid Carolin, in a joint statement. "They are lifting the heavy bricks to build the equitable world we all deserve to live in."

Actor John Dunsworth, who played photographer Dave Teagues on Syfy’s fantasy drama Haven, died Monday after battling a short illness. He was 71.

Dunsworth’s daughter Sarah, who co-starred with him on the Canadian mockumentary series Trailer Park Boys, announced the news on Twitter.

“With heavy and broken hearts, the family of John F. Dunsworth would like to let people know that our amazing husband, father and grandfather John Dunsworth has passed away,” she wrote. “John left this world peacefully after a short and unexpected illness. The family would like to request that our privacy is respected during this time of grief.

Animated, eccentric, and immensely talented, they just don’t make many like Jackie Hoffman. The hilarious character actress received her first Emmy nomination this year, for playing Mamacita in “Feud: Bette and Joan,” but she lost the statue to Laura Dern, who won for HBO’s smash hit murder mystery, “Big Little Lies.” Hoffman’s honest response when Dern’s name was announced caught many viewers off guard. Rather than delivering the placid, emotionless facade most losers adopt, Hoffman can be seen yelling “Damn it!” in her reaction shot. The Twitter rant that followed is even more hilarious.

“Broadway is dimming the lights,” she wrote. Hoffman is beloved by Broadway fans, having starred in 2002’s “Hairspray,” “Xanadu,” and “The Addams Family.” She first made waves onscreen in “Kissing Jessica Stein,” as the brassy best friend to Jennifer Westfeldt’s Jessica. She plays Billy Eichner’s nagging sister-in-law on Hulu’s “Difficult People,...

Jackie Hoffman had quite the visceral reaction to losing out to Big Little Lies' Laura Dern at the 2017 Emmys Sunday evening.

Instead of the standard polite smile and applause, Hoffman was spotted yelling "Damn it, damn it" and hitting the chair in front of her after Riz Ahmed announced Dern the winner for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama or Limited Series.

Jackie Hoffman jokingly lamented her loss to Laura Dern at the 2017 Emmy Awards on Sunday night, declaring “Dammit! Dammit!” as the camera panned over her after the announcement.

Hoffman was nominated for the outstanding supporting actress in a limited series or movie Emmy for her turn as Joan Crawford’s housekeeper Mamacita on FX series Feud.

As I placed the final piece of the puzzle into the floppy copy of The Samurnauts: Curse of the Dreadnuts #4 (ironically it was an ad for ComicMix, what synergy!) a fleeting thought tripped me up. Throughout the production process of creating Curse, Unshaven Comics has faced one teeny-tiny nagging question from a few people very close to our hearts. This single question – phrased and rephrased in both passive-aggressive and totally-aggro ways has come to represent a choke point for me and my l’il studio.

“When are you going to stop this?”

For the sake of clarity? The question was posed to us by close family members – none of whom share room and board with us.

Eric Bigger is opening up about his controversial comments regarding Rachel Linday‘s decision to choose Bryan Abasolo during The Bachelorette finale.

In an exclusive clip of Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family interview with Bigger last week, the Baltimore native opened about his thoughts on Lindsay and Abasolo’s relationship, calling the 37-year-old chiropractor a “consolation prize.”

Though Bigger feels as though his comments towards Abasolo were misinterpreted, he’s taking responsibility.

“I can own what I said,” Bigger, 29, exclusively tells People. “I was going off what I see, not what I know — what I saw is what I spoke on.

So, spoiler alert. The comic industry as we know it is going to die. Well, according to Dan Didio and Jim Lee it is.

Forgive me. You no doubt heard the thundering cacophony of my right eyebrow arching high on my face at a speed worthy of Barry Allen. The speed at which it jutted there clearly broke the sound barrier in a reflex akin only to those meta-humans with the ability to transcend space and time.

2017-06-17T08:14:24-07:00Jada Pinkett Smith Doesn't Like Tupac Biopic

Jada Pinkett Smith‏ made it clear on Friday morning she is not a fan of the new film about her close friend, the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

In a series of tweets, Smith called All Eyez on Me, starring newcomer Demetrius Shipp Jr., "deeply hurtful."

"Forgive me ... my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth," Smith began. "Pac never read me that poem. I didn't know that poem existed until it was printed in his book."

Smith is played by Kat Graham in Benny Boom’s biopic. The actual Shakur would have turned 46 on Friday.

Jada Pinkett Smith has appeared in Gotham and The Nutty Professor.

Benny Boom’s Tupac Shakur biopic, All Eyez On Me, opened this weekend to tepid reviews, with critics suggesting that the film does little to capture the drama and heights of Shakur’s life and career. Now, you can add Shakur’s old friend, Jada Pinkett Smith, and long-time admirer, 50 Cent, to the list of people disappointed in the film; both got on social media today to call out the movie for its portrayal of the rap legend’s life.

Pinkett Smith went into extensive detail with her critiques, pointing out a number of scenes between her and Shakur that she says simply didn’t happen:

After Jada Pinkett Smith blasted her depiction in Lionsgate’s Tupac Shakur biopic “All Eyez on Me” earlier Friday, one of the film’s producers defended her treatment in the film. “I’m kind of disappointed and just hurt by the accusations,” L.T. Hutton told TMZ. Pinkett had called the “reimagining” of her relationship with the slain rap legend “deeply hurtful” in a series of tweets Friday, claiming several of the incidents depicted in the film never happened. “Forgive me … my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth,...

The negativity surrounding the Tupac biopic All Eyez on Me continues as Tupac's long-time pal Jada Pinkett Smith bashes the movie's portrayal of their friendship. The biopic has been criticized for being too surface level and for not digging into what made Tupac who he really was. Movieweb's Julian Roman calls the movie a "Wikipedia biopic," while declaring that the movie lacks depth. In other words, long time fans of 'Pac aren't going to learn anything new unless its fabricated', which unfortunately was the case for life long friend of Tupac, Pinkett Smith.

Pinkett Smith took to Twitter to air her grievances over her portrayal in All Eyez on Me. Pinkett explains.

"The reimagining of my relationship with Pac has been deeply hurtful."

Further in Pinkett Smith's tweet storm this morning she goes on to correct some of the fallacies depicted in the biopic. Read what she had to say below.

Jada Pinkett Smith is setting the record straight.

The 45-year-old actress took to Twitter on Friday to take issue with All Eyez on Me -- a new biopic about the life of late legendary rapper Tupac Shakur -- for how it portrays her relationship with her close friend, whom Pinkett Smith met at the Baltimore School for the Arts in the late eighties.

Jada Pinkett Smith is not happy with the way her relationship to Tupac Shakur is depicted in the new biopic about the late iconic rapper, All Eyez on Me. The two were close friends while attending high school at the Baltimore School for the Arts. The rapper was shot dead in a drive-by shooting in 1996. He was 25. Demetrius Shipp Jr. plays the rapper in the All Eyez on Me film, while The Vampire Diaries' Kat Graham plays Jada. The movie was released Friday on would have been Tupac's 46th birthday.

All eyes are on the new Tupac Shakur biopic, but you’ll have a hard time finding anyone with a positive word to say about it. Benny Boom’s passion project is currently sitting at 24% on Rotten Tomatoes, and now Jada Pinkett Smith has taken to Twitter to point out that several incidents involving her are either inaccurately portrayed or never happened at all: “The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful,” she writes.

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have set aside the November 15, 2019 release date for their upcoming holiday comedy entitled Margie Claus, which has Melissa McCarthy set to star and produce, while co-writing the script. The actress' husband Ben Falcone will direct from a script he and Melissa McCarthy co-wrote with their Groundlings collaborator Damon Jones. Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone will both produce through their On the Day production company.

Deadline reports that the story is set on Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus goes mysteriously missing. Margie Claus (Melissa McCarthy) is then forced to go on a rescue mission to find him, leaving the North Pole for the first time in years. This report claims New Line is hoping this movie could have the same sort of success as their 2003 holiday classic Elf, which took in over $220 million at the global box office and also spawned a Broadway musical hit.

After years in development, it looks like viewers will finally get to see a darkly comedic take on the world of puppets in The Happytime Murders. Taking place in a world where puppets and humans live together, the film will feature a grisly murder mystery that must be solved by a pair of detectives, one human and one puppet. The movie is now finally moving forward with Melissa McCarthy set to star and produce, Brian Henson (son of the legendary Jim Henson) on board as the director, and filming expected to begin this August.

Press Release: (Burbank, CA, May 2, 2017) — STXfilms, whose Bad Moms was 2016’s highest grossing R-rated comedy, teams with comedic genius Melissa McCarthy in The Happytime Murders, directed by Brian Henson. The announcement was made today by STXfilms Chairman Adam Fogelson and Sam Brown, President of Production for STXfilms, a division of Stx Entertainment.

The comedy is set...

All dogs are armed with a powerful weapon — guilty eyes.

It’s the face canines break out when you scold them for a house training accident or shoe shredding. Cowering to make themselves a bit smaller, they flash you those big, brimming, upward cast eyes that seem to scream “Forgive Me!”

Turns out this is an old trick.

According to a recent Psychology Today article by Nathan H. Lents, a molecular biologist with the City University of New York, this expression can be traced back to a dog’s ancestor: the wolf.

Praise be for the three-parter. Even when the narrative wheels come off, as they did in spectacular fashion in The Replacement’s ludicrously overblown finale, you’re still quids-in when it comes to your time investment. A dodgy last hour after two decent instalments is forgivable, especially when it’s all so bonkers you can’t look away.

The blue-eyed monster hatched a plan so complicated that even after watching the episode twice and taking notes each time, I could still use a steer on what actually happened.

Numbers don’t lie. A recent study found female filmmakers remain “grossly underrepresented” when it comes to directing opportunities, and there is no arena in which that is more apparent than Hollywood’s own studio system. As The Wrap recently noted, “of the 149 movies currently slated for a wide release from the six legacy studios over the next three years, only 12 have female directors. That means a whopping 92 percent of the major motion pictures due in theaters through the end of 2019 will be helmed by men.”

That number only includes studio features from the big six, not speciality arms like Fox Searchlight, Sony Pictures Classics, or Focus Features. However, adding those more indie-minded distributors (which are often heavy on festival acquisitions) doesn’t paint a much rosier picture. Over the course of 2017 and 2018, only 24 films directed by women will hit theaters care of a Hollywood studio, and despite continued attention...
