Escaping the drama across the pond. Ariana Madix is taking in the sights and sounds of England with some close gal pals as Scandoval continues to roil back home.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star took to Instagram on Saturday to share a pair of photos of herself in the U.K., where she was joined by Katie Maloney, Dayna Kathan and Raleigh Seldon.
The four friends — who traveled to England for the wedding of their other friends, James Baker and Courtney Berman, in Cheshire — posed together like a British girl group in front of a red double decker bus in one pic she shared.
“Lads on tour,” Madix captioned the post, along with a Great Britain flag emoji.

The first full blown House Oversight Committee hearing of the new GOP majority was focused on Hunter Biden, and the role that Twitter played in suppressing a bombshell New York Post story about the contents of a laptop purportedly owned by the president’s son.
Weeks before the presidential election, Twitter restricted the Post account in an effort to curb the spread of the article, declaring it potentially “harmful material” and in violation of a hacked materials policy. After an outcry, particularly on the right, the accounts were restored, and Twitter executives later admitted that the company’s actions were wrong.
The premise of Wednesday’s hearing was that Twitter colluded with the FBI to suppress the story and tip the scales for Joe Biden in the presidential election.
The hearing included testimony from four former Twitter executives, who said that they were not engaged in a conspiracy to sideline the story.

House Republicans have made clear they intend to do everything they can to cast President Biden as the ringleader of a global crime racket that he’s now using the White House to facilitate. The House Oversight Committee, led by a guy who just a few days ago wondered if the alleged Chinese spy balloon was carrying bioweapons from Wuhan, is going to be responsible for a big chunk of this effort. It will hold its first hearing on Wednesday to investigate, what else, Hunter Biden stuff.

An attorney representing Hunter Biden has fired off a legal threat to Tucker Carlson and Fox News, demanding a retraction for segments suggesting that Biden made nearly 50,000-a-month in housing rent payments to his father President Joe Biden.
The implication in the Carlson segments, picked up on by other Fox News personalities, was that the money was being laundered to Joe Biden before he was elected president.
In the letter, Bryan Sullivan asked Carlson and Fox News Media General Counsel Bernard Guger for an acknowledgement that the network “errored by not verifying the information underlying the so-called ‘rent’ story and relying on information that it knew was described as ‘wild speculation.'” Sullivan also is asking for other statements to be made on air, including an apology.

Anika Collier Navoli was at her “wits’ end.” Twitter’s safety policy team had gathered via video conference to walk through what they expected to see the next day, Jan. 6, 2021, and began to argue.

She and colleagues were seeing worrying signs and feared what might happen the next day. “There might be someone getting shot tomorrow,” one employee warned, according...

In The Corridors of Power, filmmaker Dror Moreh takes a bracing look at the factors that kept America — the sole remaining superpower in the immediate post-Cold War era — from intervening in global instances involving genocide, war crimes and other large-scale atrocities.
“The idea of the movie started, basically, when I saw the horrible picture that came out from Syria, especially after the chemical attack [in 2013], especially after the Syrian regime has crossed Obama’s red line,” Moreh revealed during Deadline’s Contenders Film: Documentary awards-season panel, noting that President Barack Obama had indicated that the U.S. would commit to opposing the Assad regime. “So I asked myself: What goes on in those decision-making rooms when they decide to intervene in one place, but not the other, or they don’t decide?”

First nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars with the 2012 film “The Gatekeepers,” director Dror Moreh could return to the awards race 10 years later with “The Corridors of Power.” The new film from Showtime combines in-depth interviews with rare archival footage and CGI animations to examine how American leaders have responded to reports of genocide, war crimes and mass atrocities after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Among those interviewed are five figures who served as Secretary of State: James Baker, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. In his review for The Washington Post, Michael O’Sullivan describes the effectiveness of the interviews: “The discussions that take place on camera, in tastefully appointed suites, are frank and often offer fascinating insights into these dilemmas. But it is the sharply jarring — and dismayingly repetitive — footage of carnage that will stay with you long after the echoes of the...

Dror Moreh, the Oscar-nominated director of The Gatekeepers and another doc about the Middle East, The Human Factor, broadens his scope productively in his new documentary, The Corridors of Power, which had its world premiere screenings in Telluride. Doreh assembled an impressive array of diplomats from several administrations over the past 40 years, and he comes up with a deeply disturbing examination of genocide during recent decades.
The film opens by recalling the Nazi genocide of the Jews, with a reminder of how little the United States did to try and halt the slaughter. After the war ended and the United Nations was formed, the cry of “Never again!” echoed throughout the world. Given the dark side of human nature, that was always an optimistic credo, but people probably did not realize how many horrific instances of genocide would emerge in the decades that followed,...

Exclusive: Having rallied in recent months against censorship-advocating Republican politicians and the loss of abortion rights in America, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider is going back to the past to spotlight our potential future.
The heavy metal lead singer has teamed with Magilla Entertainment for a documentary series about the efforts of Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center 37 years ago to excise so-called obscene music. Confounding all expectations, Snider appeared with Frank Zappa and John Denver before a Senate committee in 1985 and proved a compelling and insightful advocate for freedom of expression and creative license.
“To be in the crosshairs of this bipartisan attack on free speech caught me completely off guard,” Snider told Deadline. “All of my rock and roll dreams were finally coming true, and the Pmrc was trying to shut me up,” the “We’re Not Gonna Take It” singer added of the heyday of hair metal.

As part of the promotional cycle for the upcoming Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy Xiii, Square Enix has been giving gamers an inside look at the title through a series of developer diaries. Entitled “Inside The Square,” these diaries are allowing us to take a peak at the development of the game and get a glimpse at its exciting new features.
Narrated by Ali Hillis, Lightning herself, this latest video gives viewers a look at the ‘Doomsday Clock’ and how it will affect the storyline, environments and various characters. Apparently, when you return to certain locations, such as a shop or restaurant, they will look completely different from how they looked the previous time you were there. Furthermore, locations that may have been safe at one point in time may be overrun with enemies the next time you stop in. Lightning Returns also runs on its own 24-hour clock that will...

Square Enix -- that's eh-nicks, apparently, not ee-nicks, like I've been saying for the past 26 years -- have taken to documenting the development of "Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy Xiii" for a three-part documentary called "Inside the Square." Today, the first episode was released.
The first half of the video, narrated by Lightning voice actress Ali Hillis, gives the most basic, cursory glance at "Final Fantasy": It's been around for 25 years, and none of the games are really all that connected (the odd sequel or trilogy notwithstanding). Eventually, the doc moves more specifically to cover "Lightning Returns," including interviews with concept artists and designers and heavily featuring producer Yoshinori Kitase.
The dev diary gives a pretty bird's-eye-view of "Final Fantasy Xiii," but there are some tiny bits of new info to glean. I didn't realize for example, that the people of the "Lightning Returns"-iverse had stopped aging 500 years ago,...

So “The Avengers” knocked it out of the park, huh? With a $600 million intake worldwide and lots and lots of good reviews, Joss Whedon and the folks over at Marvel can probably even one-up James Cameron at the next Masters of the Hollywood Universe fete. (That sounds fun, doesn’t it? I’d go to a party like that.) This weekend is a little smaller, but looking good nonetheless. A number of foreign films that have done well in the festival circuit, and the latest eyefeast from Burton and Co. hit theaters today, providing quite a lot of competition – if not dazzling CGI and budget – for the massive blockbuster winner of last week. Let’s see how they measure up.

Los Angelenos Neil (Todd Grinnell) and Sarah (Ali Hillis), a thirtysomething but childless married couple, find themselves stuck in a bit of a relationship rut. They have to clear [ Read More ]...

Marvel animation has never been a high point of their multimedia outreach but last year G4 aired four Marvel Anime series (X-Men, Iron Man, Blade and Wolverine), taking the beauty of the animation from Japan and the lively characters of Marvel’s mutant superteam, the X-Men. Unfortunately G4 doesn’t have the biggest coverage so this now it’s been collected Marvel Anime: X-Men The Complete Series on DVD. The X-Men Anime team is largely the one used in Astonishing X-Men, and since Warren Ellis wrote both this series and part of that comic series it makes sense that he would use that roster.
There are twelve episodes but the story is split into two halves. The first is seeing the X-Men team of Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast and Professor X trying to locate a young mutant in Japan. They are still in the wake of losing Jean Grey (especially...

Four-slice toasters just don’t cut it anymore. Fridges aren’t worth a thing if they can’t make ice, filter water, and massage your head all at once. Ovens? They have to turn themselves on and knead the cookie dough beforehand. Modern appliances are daunting pieces of machinery these days, and few are more scary than the next wave of coffee makers. Kiss the Krups of yesteryear goodbye, and say hello to rigs that wouldn’t be out of place in a Starbucks. Is this what growing up means? In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, it kind of does. The film, starring Todd Grinnell and Ali Hillis, centers on a couple who aren’t quite settled into the idea of growing up and moving on with their lives – and their coffee maker isn’t helping matters. The pair embark on a fun trip to their past, hitting their old neighborhood and their favorite haunts from their early...

Growing up is never easy, and it sure as hell doesn’t get any better when you’re convinced that your old life (and the younger version of you) was the better existence of the two. In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, thirtysomething couple Neil (Todd Grinnell, who looks and sounds like an indie Paul Rudd) and Sarah (Ali Hillis) find that their “grown-up” lives aren’t all they’re cracked up to be – packed with “nesting,” picking out furniture that has color names based on snack foods, and knowing stupid trivia about The Bachelor (of all things). Unhappy in their current lives, Neil and Sarah decide to take a trip down memory lane, and right back into the neighborhoods they spent their twenties in (Angelenos will recognize scads of Silver Lake and Echo Park locations from this first trailer alone). However, Neil and Sarah aren’t content with just visiting their old lives – they want to slip...

Children’s fare has changed from what I enjoyed as a kid. For me, animated talking turtles slinging one liners and nun chucks sufficed; if you believe Disney’s Space Buddies, today’s tikes require a more advanced form of talking animal. Apparently, the bar has been raised. If you consider Labradors with CGI enhanced mouths as raising the bar. A quintet of “talking” Labradors find themselves launched into space after the field trip of their child owners becomes more participatory than originally planned. Rosebud the lone female, B-Dawg the obnoxious gangsta’ talkin’ puppy, Buddha the sublimely at peace leader dog, Butterball the thickheaded and diabetes-bound dog and Mudbud, the compulsive mud rolling puppy form the quintet which quickly becomes a sextet after lodging with the abandoned Ussr space station after an in flight malfunction where the meet the resident mutt, Spudnik. Get it? Witty, I know. After a catastrophic...

The new Disney movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is making a stand for people to not support puppy mills if you want a Chihuahua, but to adopt one instead. In fact a new YouTube video has stars of the movie, including the dog star Papi, encouraging everyone to adopt instead of buy.
Hollywood trendsetters have already made Chihuahuas a fashionable breed, but with the release of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" the breed will now be in even higher demand. The new public service announcement video, made by Best Friends Animal Society, is hoping that everyone will spread the word and not buy pets from pet stores -- because the pet stores buy the puppies from puppy mills.
Actresses Jaime Lee Curtis, Loretta Devine and Ali Hillis, are unabashed in their support of adopting rescued dogs. In the Best Friends Animal Society's video they enthusiastically urge people to break the puppy mill cycle and adopt,...

Actresses Jaime Lee Curtis, Loretta Devine and Ali Hillis, are unabashed in their support of adopting rescued dogs. In the Best Friends Animal Society's video they enthusiastically urge people to break the puppy mill cycle and adopt,...

Must Love Dogs
You can say this for Must Love Dogs: Those who plunk down their hard-earned money for tickets to this Gary David Goldberg film, based on the novel by Claire Cook, can rest assured that they're getting exactly what's being advertised: a thoroughly conventional romantic comedy with all the usual trimmings.
The above would include cute, furry animals; wise-cracking relatives; cast members bursting into spontaneous sing-alongs (in this case it's The Partridge Family theme); and at least one scene in which an unlucky-in-love principal character is comforted by watching an old movie romance in their living room.
That might suit the film's female demographic just fine, especially given its polished cast of late-thirtysomething rom-com vets populating a genre that has been recently preoccupied with younger faces.
But the familiarity factor in a moviegoing season that already feels like one big rerun could mean that Dogs might have to wait to have its day on video.
Diane Lane, who most recently flexed those romantic comedy muscles in Under the Tuscan Sun, is in good, relatable form as Sarah Nolan, a recently divorced preschool teacher who is preparing to take a plunge back into the daunting dating scene at the persistent urging of her family and friends.
Following the successful lead of their debonair widowed father (debonair Christopher Plummer), quipster sister Carol (Elizabeth Perkins) and younger sis Christine (Ali Hillis) post Sarah's somewhat fictionalized stats on perfectmatch.com with less than magical results.
There is the one lone exception of Jake Anderson (John Cusack), a somewhat intense, self-conscious boat builder who holds some promise. Then again, while Sarah has a policy of not dating her young charges' parents, there is the charming and confident Bob Connor (Dermot Mulroney), who would seem to be a match made in romance novel heaven.
Or is he?
While screenwriter-director Goldberg, whose small-screen success stories include Family Ties and Spin City, crafts the often quite witty banter with fine sitcom finesse, the wacky world of Internet personals portrayed in Cook's 2002 novel isn't exactly the freshest concept on the block.
Although this talky date movie feels just a tad dated, the gifted cast, rounded out by comedy pro Stockard Channing as Plummer's spirited fall-back girlfriend, rises to the occasion and gives the entire production a bit of boost in the process.
To be fair, Goldberg does manage to throw in a couple of change-ups along with all the generic stuff. This time it's actually a guy -- Cusack's character -- doing the classic movie thing, taking solace in Dr. Zhivago's doomed romance.
While cinematographer John Bailey lends the film the necessary bright chick-flick luster, frequent Baz Luhrmann collaborator Craig Armstrong contributes a jaunty, Titanic-lite score filled with enough nautical themes and variations to suggest that, yes, despite having to navigate life's trickier patches, the heart will go on.
