In the early to mid-2000s, Taylor Sheridan was a recognizable face following his presence in two television series, namely Veronica Mars and Sons of Anarchy. The star though, achieved bigger popularity after taking to the written word, and earned great success as a screenwriter in several films like Sicario and the Oscar-nominated Hell or High Water before creating his magnum opus, Yellowstone.

While the celebrity’s foray into writing after stepping down from his gig in Sons of Anarchy can be witnessed as a genius move on his part, his reason for changing scene was as basic and relatable as any ordinary person. The actor who was on the verge of having his first child, revealed that family life was the biggest factor in his decision to switch careers.

When "Veronica Mars" first debuted in 2004, it came with a hell of a premise. Right off the bat, it was clear that the show about a teenage P.I. was a far cry from the Nancy Drew mysteries of decades past. Veronica is a firebrand, a cynical high schooler with a taser and a mission –- or several. Rob Thomas' show begins with an almost overwhelming influx of mysteries, giving Veronica a dead best friend, a missing mom, and a disturbing date-rape past to reckon with. While rival teen shows like "The O.C." painted a slightly softer portrait of SoCal elites, "Veronica Mars" took a nihilistic approach to its fictional subjects, presenting the rich and famous residents of Neptune, California as corruptible at best and actively horrible at worst.

"Veronica Mars" traded in noir and mystery tropes first and foremost, but it earned cult classic status in large part thanks...

Spoiler Alert!One Piece chapter 1118 and 1119 spoilers

Eiichiro Oda surprised fans with the latest chapter of One Piece in which Jewelry Bonney is seen sporting a top-class Nika look. Does she look cuter than Luffy? No doubt about it. Is she stronger than the original Joy Boy though? That is still questionable.

The spoilers for chapter 1119 of One Piece attempt to expose the reality of Bonney’s powers. While a faction of One Piece fans are overjoyed to see the extent of Bonney’s abilities, others are slightly dissatisfied since it would be a hard strength to write around.

What is the limit of her power? Can she transform the things around her just as easily? Let’s find out the answers to all her queries.

Iron Man's harsh punishment for his enemy Feilong goes far beyond his usual hero behavior, showcasing the dark toll that his conflict with the Orchis leader took on Tont Stark, and ultimately leaving him questioning if it was the right choice. Feilong's fate may haunt Iron Man, as he struggles with the aftermath of his decision, suggesting that while the Feilong storyline has concluded for now, it has the potential for further impact in future stories. Tony Stark's dark turn in Invincible Iron Man #19, even as he and his mutant allies celebrate their victory in the final battle of World War Orchis proves he will go to extreme lengths not just to exact justice, but to punish his enemies.

Warning: Contains spoilers for The Invincible Iron Man #19!!

Iron Man has sentenced one of his major villains a fate worse than death, and even Tony Stark knows his choice was harsh.

Spoiler Alert!One Piece Chapter 1118 Spoilers

The One Piece chapter 1118 spoilers have once again brought a big shock with them that may not be well-liked by the fans of the Pirate world. The chapter has introduced an unexpected twist that could change the entire narrative of One Piece, especially focusing on the characters of Luffy, Bonney, and the mysterious Joy Boy.

The One Piece spoilers have revealed that Jewelry Bonney might also have the powers of Sun God Nika. Although it was initially hinted in one of the previous chapters, One Piece fans did not believe that Bonney would become the full-blown representation of the mythological deity that could change the reality of his surroundings based on their own comfort.

While this is indeed a big revelation, One Piece fans are not too happy about it, as they believe that One Piece may never be the same after this,...

Kristen Bell may have dozens of acting credits under her belt but that doesn’t mean she was initially fond of the idea of her children following in her footsteps.

The Veronica Mars alum recently spoke to People magazine at the opening night of Reefer Madness: The Musical at The Whitley in Los Angeles about her daughters — Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 8, with whom she shares with husband Dax Shepard — potentially working in the entertainment industry one day.

“You know it’s interesting, when I first thought about it, I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t want them to be actors. There’s too much rejection,'” Bell explained.

However, it was Shepard who encouraged her to keep an open mind. “Then my husband said, ‘Wait, do you like your life? Do you have fun? Are you overpaid? Do you get to be creative every day?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Why would...

Iron Man 3 director Shane Black initially pursued an acting career before he became a renowned screenwriter and director in Hollywood, just like Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Before he directed the fourth movie in The Predator series, little did fans know that he had an acting role in the first movie alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was during this time that he sold the script for the classic buddy cop movie Lethal Weapon.

It took little time for Black to get the hint from his acting and screenwriting gigs that he was not suited for the former career. Black doubled down on his screenwriting works and became one of the highest-paid screenwriters at the time.

Wes Craven's 1977 film "The Hills Have Eyes," like Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" before it, features a vanload of city folks who find themselves waylaid in a forgotten corner of the American wasteland. In Craven's film, the wasteland is not rural Texas, but the irradiated deserts of Nevada. The protagonists (Dee Wallace is among them) are beset by the brood of the sadistic Papa Jupiter (James Whitworth), including Mars (Lance Gordon), Mercury (Arthur King), and Pluto (Michael Berryman). Years ago, Jupiter moved into the hills with his wife (Cordy Clark) and raised their children to attack and cannibalize passers-through in order to survive. "The Hills Have Eyes" is raw and brutal, but possessed of a winking sense of humor that horror fans will appreciate.

The original film only cost about $700,000 to make (although the actual budget isn't very well recorded), yet it went on to make over $25 million,...

Featuring: Bruce Li, Bruce Le, Bruce Liang, Dragon Lee, Angela Mao, David Chiang, Phillip Ko, Sammo Hung | Directed by David Gregory

It is an understatement to say that Bruce Lee left a massive impact through his short filmography. After being denied a lead role by the Shaw Brothers studio, Lee signed onto an upstart company called Golden Harvest whose subsequent films made him into an international star. As his tragic death came on the cusp of kung-fu movies being introduced to the global market, a question lingered about who would replace Lee.

Director David Gregory has crafted a comprehensive exploration of what followed Lee’s passing; a sub-genre named Bruceploitation which focused on casting Bruce Lee lookalikes to star in imitation martial arts films. The resulting cash-in features were made to exploit the deceased star’s international popularity during a time when intellectual property laws were less strict, with even...

Japanese voice actor Yuichiro Umehara surprised fans this week by revealing he’s been married since 2016.

The news comes after Umehara, known for his roles in Goblin Slayer, The Misfit of Demon King Academy, Black Clover, among others, was seen earlier this month entering a cafe in Tokyo’s downtown area with a woman, who sources identified as his wife.

Following the public sighting, reporters approached Umehara, and he openly addressed the situation. The voice actor confirmed that he has been married for several years, having tied the knot in his mid-twenties. He explained that his wife is a college sweetheart and they’ve been together for a long time.

“It’s true (that I’m married). I got married when I was 25 or 26. (My wife) is a friend from college, so we’ve been dating for a long time. We’re the same age.“

While James Gunn has begun filming for his first chapter of the new Dcu, Superman, he has also been working extra hard as the DC Studios chief to dispel rumors about his films or any other upcoming films in the franchise. The filmmaker is known to be active on Threads and frequently provides answers to fans about a rumor in case it is fake.

Gunn recently debunked a rumor about the casting of a former Marvel star to play Harvey Dent in Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman: Part II. Narcos star Boyd Holbrook was rumored to have joined the cast of the Robert Pattinson starrer as Two-Face. However, Gunn quickly squashed the rumor, saying that the news report was fake.

At the last Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift made history by taking home a fourth Album of the Year trophy. In doing so, she became the recording artist with the most wins in the category ever, breaking her tie with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon. Such an impressive feat is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other records that could be broken in the general field in the foreseeable future.

The best bet might be the sibling duo of Billie Eilish and Finneas, who have taken this award twice, for “Bad Guy” and “What Was I Made For?” Eilish is rumored to be dropping new music soon,...

The Five Elders have entered the main battle currently ongoing on the Egghead Island in One Piece. As they entered the fight, all of them started showing a glimpse of their powers and it was truly terrifying. Their tremendous powers have not only shocked the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies but also the Navy.

The Five Elders

The main twist in the story is that they not only possess rare and powerful Devil Fruit abilities but also have a bunch of other strengths that have never been seen before in the world of One Piece. And now it has become Luffy’s responsibility to not only defeat the Five Elders, but also make an escape from Egghead Island.

However, it will surely not be easy. In addition to all this, the spoilers for the upcoming chapter 1111 have indicated that Luffy might not be enough to fight all the Five Elders by himself.

MGM Resorts, a renowned hospitality and entertainment company, has categorically denied recent claims that suggest pop singer Bruno Mars owes it $50 million in gambling debt.

“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe,” the company said in a statement. “MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM.”

The controversy arose last week when an anonymous source told NewsNation that Mars, 38, owed millions to the MGM hospitality empire. The insider claimed that MGM essentially had ownership over the artist.

Mars is currently in the ninth year of his residency at the iconic hotel and reportedly earns $1.5 million per night,...

Off the cusp of his breakup with Rorie Buckley last month, Australian conservationist and TV personality Robert Irwin is once again a single pringle!

But would he ever go on The Bachelor? Irwin recently had an interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle, and the subject of him appearing on the reality television dating competition came up.

Robert Irwin Dances Around The Topic

The 20-year-old Australian personality, alongside Julia Morris, his I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here Australia co-host, danced around the idea of him joining The Bachelor, during their interview.

Irwin initially laughed when the question was asked, but Morris notes that if he was The Bachelor, then she’d go on as a bachelorette contestant, and noted it would be like a “weird old creepy nightmare.” Irwin replied, “Yeah … right”, while laughing, and he added, “That sounds perfect.”

Morris stipulated that the two couldn’t go on a date though,...

Bruno Mars recently entered the ninth year of his residency at Park MGM in Las Vegas, which he extended with 12 shows taking place throughout 2024.

But if you believe a report from News Nation, part of the reason Mars’ residency has lasted for so long is because he’s accrued a sizable gambling debt at the casino. “He owes millions to the MGM [from gambling],” an unnamed source told News Nation. “[MGM] basically own him.”

The source estimated that Mars owes as much as $50 millions to MGM. He reportedly takes in $90 million annually as part of his deal with the casino, but after taxes he’s just barely covering the money owed.

Mars has spoken about his affinity for gambling in past media interviews, revealing that he visited his first casino at 19 years old and, as a still unknown musician, covered his rent by playing cards.”

House featured a wide array of guest stars, from up-and-coming talents like Amanda Seyfried to seasoned veterans like Meat Loaf. Notable actors like John Cho, Elle Fanning, and Lin-Manuel Miranda made memorable appearances on the medical drama. The show provided a platform for actors like Michael B. Jordan to shine, tackling challenging roles that showcased their talent.

The medical drama House had so many incredible guest stars over its eight-season run that it’s easier to forget just how many celebrities showed up throughout the show. Indeed, the focus was often on the challenges of troubled genius medical professional Dr. Gregory House, but the procedural nature of the series led to countless opportunities for notable names to show up as patients, family members, and even hospital staff. As House dealt with addiction issues and solved increasingly baffling medical mysteries, there was no telling what famous face would appear onscreen for...

Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Mötley Crüe Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly “refused” to cough up the dirt on its wide-ranging business dealings as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year.

In a new court ruling obtained by Rolling Stone, the judge said the band’s stonewalling left Mars with no choice but to sue for the corporate documents last April. The Los Angeles judge noted that after the filing, the band...

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" starts with Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones venturing into a booby-trapped tomb, defying death at every turn and escaping with the golden idol. Throughout the 1981 adventure epic, Indy finds himself in similarly precarious situations, managing to narrowly escape with his life in each instance. Frankly, filming "Raiders" itself sounds about as perilous.

There's a reason director Steven Spielberg was amazed Ford and his stunt team survived the shoot. He and his crew took several risks when it came to filming the action that could have easily resulted in tragedy, like making Ford run in front of a real 300-pound boulder for his dramatic tomb escape. The star even got his right leg trapped under a plane during the flying-wing fight scene. But Spielberg did have his limits. Ford was prohibited from doing the stunts that were more likely to lead to actual death. Those were reserved for the stunt team,...

Heroes was a groundbreaking TV show that combined science fiction and drama, exploring themes of destiny, identity, and morality. Kristen Bell's character, Elle Bishop, in Heroes added a new dynamic to the show's exploration of power and morality, with her complex and morally ambiguous actions. Kristen Bell's performance as Elle Bishop showcased her versatility as an actress, as her character differed greatly from her iconic role as Veronica Mars, demonstrating her ability to embody diverse characters.

Heroes burst onto the TV scene in 2006 with its fresh take on the superhero genre, and Kristen Bell's Heroes character was a fan favorite. The show revolves around ordinary people who discover they have extraordinary abilities, intertwining their stories as they grapple with their newfound powers. With its tagline, "Save the cheerleader, save the world," Heroes combined elements of science fiction and drama, exploring themes of destiny, identity, and morality. The show was original and complex,...

There’s a reason the word honors is in the title. To help celebrate the lifetime contributions of artists in music, dance, theater, opera, movies and TV, the Kennedy Center Honors routinely pay tribute to its recipients by rewarding them with memorable performances.

Scores of artists have been feted since the Honors got their start in 1978, but there are certain tributes that remain sketched in our hearts forever. In anticipation of the 46th annual event honoring Billy Crystal, Renée Fleming, Barry Gibb, Queen Latifah, and Dionne Warwick on Dec. 27, we look back at some of the show’s most unforgettable performances — starting with Lenny Bernstein’s opening speech from the very first Kennedy Center Honors, of course.

Marc Charles Williams, better known as Mars Williams, the front-and-center saxophonist of ’80s New Wave bands The Waitresses and The Psychedelic Furs, died Nov. 20 of the rare and aggressive ampullary cancer in a Chicago hospice facility. He was 68.

His death was announced by his family on a GoFundMe page last month, but has more recently gained widespread attention. His brother Paul R. Williams confirmed the cause of death to The New York Times for an obituary posted today.

Following his initial stints in the Waitresses and Psychedelic Furs – both bands were early MTV favorites with videos often spotlighting the playful Williams, and he would reunite with the Furs throughout his life – the saxophonist went on to lead his own jazz ensembles including the influential, Grammy-nominated acid jazz group Liquid Soul in the 1990s.

A statement posted by his family on the GoFundMe page reads, in part, “Until the end, Mars’ inexhaustible humor and energy,...

Bruno Mars was supposed to perform in Tel Aviv, Israel this past weekend, but evacuated the country following the surprise attack from Hamas, Billboard reports. His unexpected departure forced him to leave his gear behind and cancel his next scheduled performance in Doha, Qatar.

Mars performed on Wednesday, October 4th at HaYarkon Park in Tel Aviv and was supposed to perform again on Saturday, October 7th — the day reports began to come in about rocket and ground attacks from the militant group in control of the Gaza Strip. Live Nation canceled the second performance Saturday afternoon. The artist was set to play at Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix in Doha on October 8th, but that show was canceled hours before Mars was set to take the stage.

Jay Ellis literally raced through the airport to get to Las Vegas's Jbl Fest, but once he was settled down in the club for the festival's official launch night on Sept. 22, it was impossible to describe him as anything other than chill. Even though he's a star, he had the energy of an old friend - especially when he revealed he was particularly looking forward to seeing Bruno Mars perform later that evening.

Apparently, Ellis says, he lived close to Mars when he first moved to Los Angeles. "He was my neighbor, and he doesn't know this, but he used to have parties all the time. Everybody on our street was like, who is this dude having parties? And it was Bruno," Ellis laughs, noting that at the time, he never received an invite.

If he and Mars were still neighbors today, that would probably have changed by now. The...

Live Nation Israel has canceled Bruno Mars’ concert on Saturday night in Tel Aviv, citing the attacks by Hamas on the nation.

The social media post in Hebrew also said the company stands “with the residents of Israel, Idf fighters and the security forces in these difficult times.”

Mars performed in Israel for the first time on Wednesday.

At least 70 people have been killed in the attacks, which began early Saturday in Israel.

In southern Israel, hundreds of music festival attendees fled for their lives after members of the militant group opened fire, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“We were alerted by a ‘red siren’ [rocket warning],” one attendee told the Israel media outlet Walla. “Chaos ensued, especially with vehicles trying to exit. Then the gunshots started, and we began to run. We’re still hiding and awaiting rescue.”

One video on X posted by the user @jengelmayer shows attendees frantically trying to escape the festival.

Bruno Mars’ Saturday night concert in Tel Aviv was canceled amid the ongoing deadly conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas militants that began earlier in the day.

Martial arts movies often portray villains with superior fighting skills, posing a great challenge for the heroes. Some films emphasize the power of the villains, showcasing the hero's struggle to barely emerge victorious. Iconic fights between heroes and villains in martial arts movies contribute to their timeless appeal and influence in the genre.

Martial arts movie villains often possess great fighting skills, and sometimes, they are even better fighters than the heroes and heroines opposing them. Martial arts films strive to make their protagonists strong fighters, often showing them training to develop their fighting skills and occasionally portraying them as underdogs who must push themselves especially hard. At the same time, just as much attention goes to the fighting skills of the villains, who must provide a great challenge for their enemies to overcome.

Sometimes, great martial arts movies go even further with their villains, portraying them as nearly insurmountable...

August has featured an American giallo in Eyes of Laura Mars, a Spanish ghost story in The Others, and a Jewish horror comedy in Shiva Baby. Now it’s time to head back to literal summer camp with director Michael A. Simpson‘s very silly horror comedy: Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988).

In this sequel to the notorious original, Angela (Pamela Springsteen) is all grown up and working as a camp counselor. She’s transitioned and is seemingly very comfortable with herself, but she can’t shake Aunt Martha’s pesky pious moral code. This sends her into a murderous rage whenever the other counselors – and even some of the campers – break her rules.

What follows is all manner of silly/horrible deaths, albeit with less of the great practical effects of the Og film. Still, it’s fun to watch Angela take out an entire camp...

As the legal feud between Mötley Crüe and Mick Mars continues, the guitarist has opened up about the full extent of the disconnect between himself and his former bandmates.

Mars has been outspoken regarding his unceremonious exit from the band, blaming Nikki Sixx and company for forcing him out and cutting his profit share in the process. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mars said that his bandmates didn’t so much as speak to him throughout 2022 — including the entirety of the band’s stadium tour with Def Leppard — leading up to his retirement from touring back in October.

“Nobody spoke to me in 2022,” Mars said. “A lot of the time felt like I was just playing by myself. You know how you can be in a crowd of people and still feel alone? That’s how I felt that whole tour. I felt used, sad, and inferior. When we...

In early May, we travelled to Nashville to spend a couple of days with Mick Mars and hear about his bitter departure from Mötley Crüe. Mars stepped away from the touring unit in late 2022 after 41 years in the group he co-founded. He’d been suffering from the debilitating bone disease ankylosing spondylitis for decades, and life on the road simply became too painful to endure. In his telling, they used this as an excuse to violate legal agreements and deny him his share of band proceeds. The matter is currently...

Mick Mars is fed up over his legal battle with Mötley Crüe, but the founding member of the band is willing to do whatever it takes to sustain his legacy.

Since the lead guitarist retired from touring with the heavy metal group last October due to his worsening health, he believes his former bandmates — Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee — have been trying to axe his legacy.

In April 2023, Mars, 72, filed a lawsuit against his ex-bandmates for attempting to remove him from the group last year, an exit he claims was involuntary.

Former Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars, who recently turned 72, believes he’s “probably just going to live another seven or eight years.” That’s just one of the topics the veteran rocker opened up about in a wide-ranging new interview with Rolling Stone, also touching on his legal battle with the Crüe, his upcoming solo album, and more.

Mars recently sold his publishing rights, securing his financial freedom for the rest of his life. In revealing that news, he also put a cap on his lifespan. “I sold my publishing,” he said. “The deal was just finalized. Now I can relax and don’t have to worry about anything, since, like I said, I’m probably just going to live another seven or eight years.”

For most of his adult life, Mars has suffered from the degenerative bone disease ankylosing spondylitis, causing his body to disfigure. “I’m not going...

Mick Mars Has Spent a great deal of time thinking about his own death, which will happen, he estimates, in about eight years, tops. There won’t be a funeral or memorial service of any kind. Instead, the Mötley Crüe guitarist wants the cremated remains of his body — which has been ravaged for nearly 60 years by the disfiguring bone disease ankylosing spondylitis — packed into a lead urn. “I want them to take it into an airplane and drop it into the center of the Bermuda Triangle,” he says. “I want...

Three minutes and 47 seconds of sheer audio bliss, “Odyssey” is written, produced and performed by Beck and Phoenix, and mixed by Serban Ghenea.

The result is two unmistakable sonic signatures combining to create something beyond the sum of its parts.

“Odyssey” is the spontaneous and perfect theme song for Beck and Phoenix’s eagerly anticipated co-headline Summer Odyssey tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 19-city run kicks off on Tuesday, August 1st in Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena,...

Bruno Mars is at ease behind a bar - his bar. He's armed with a bottle of premixed shooters, his SelvaRey Rum the star ingredient, while stationed across from an array of fans and press, many who are recording the enviable encounter.
