Once the bete noire of the right, now the actor finds herself even more hated by the left for refusing to support Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump. She talks about Hollywood sexism, female empowerment and playing Bette Davis

Susan Sarandon at 71 is bright-eyed and airy, and perhaps shyer than she can publicly seem. When I walk into the room – a private members’ club in downtown New York, where she sits with a small dog at her feet – she doesn’t say hello or make eye-contact, giving what I suspect is a false impression of rudeness. It may also be that she is uncertain of her reception. For a long time Sarandon was despised by the right, her protests against the Vietnam war and Us aggression in Nicaragua and Iraq making her the kind of target that, for progressives, is an affirmation of sorts. Her latest unpopularity, by contrast, comes exclusively...

As No Shoes Nation knows, there’s something extra special about a summer night spent at a Kenny Chesney concert.

The clearest illustration of that island vibe may be perfectly captured on the above live video of the country star’s hit “Pirate Flag,” premiering exclusively on People. This particular rendition of the track will be featured on the Chesney’s upcoming album, Live in No Shoes Nation. It’s one of 30 songs on the double disc set of Chesney’s personal favorite live performances, out Friday.

When picking which live performances to include on the album, Chesney had some “simple” criteria: “magic.

Legendary designer Elie Tahari has an eye for creating beautiful clothing so it’s no surprise that his Hamptons home is just as elegant as his designs. The designer of the global fashion empire invited NBC’s Open House to see what makes his beach barn the ultimate oasis. (Warning: You’ll have the urge to book a vacation after watching the video above.)

Located in Sagaponack, New York, Tahari’s house perfectly blends comfort with style. Tahari wanted to create an “earthy” vibe in his 200-year-old barn turned beach house, where there are no boundaries between his living space and the nature surrounding him.

It has been a year since Ray “DJ Infinite” Rivera was spinning records on the fateful night of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.

As 2 a.m. hit on June 12, 2016, Rivera began winding down the night like any other, with reggae music as nightclub patrons paid their tabs and started to call cabs. Minutes later, a gunman entered armed with an Ar-15 assault rifle — murdering 49 innocent people and injuring more than 50 in the deadliest mass shooting in United States history.

“The bartenders and me looked at each other, and we didn’t realize what was going on,” Rivera, 43, tells...

Billy Bush is finally opening up about the infamous "hot mic" recording of his 2005 conversation with Donald Trump that cost him his job at the Today Show. The former TV host sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and reflected on the tape's impact on his life.

According to Bush, "plenty of people" at NBC knew about the tape's existence before it was leaked to The Washington Post in October 2016. He also reveals he's only been able to watch the tape three times, and hearing his comments always left him feeling "totally and completely gutted."

Watch: Billy Bush Hires Lawyer, Defends Anchor's Role in Donald Trump Tape

In the infamous recording -- which was tapped while Trump was speaking with Bush on an Access Hollywood tour bus -- the president made sexually disparaging comments about women and getting away with lewd behavior while Bush laughed instead of saying something.

Mike Ott’s semi-documentary, about delusional people with dreams of making it big in Hollywood, is beautifully filmed but snickering and uncomfortable

Cory is an aspiring actor who is holding a yard sale to raise the cash he needs to fly to Berlin for an audition. Patrick is 28 and has never kissed a woman, unless you count his mother or grandmother. Neil is a budding screenwriter obsessed with Taco Bell. Carolan lives in her car but has already written her Oscar acceptance speech. And Kevin, who sports a custard-coloured mullet and runs a storage company, is confident about his own star quality. “When I walk into a room of 1,000 people, 999 of them are looking at me,” he says. “The one who isn’t is blind.”

This is the cast of California Dreams, a bittersweet comedy that occupies the grey area between documentary and scripted reality, and comes across like Napoleon Dynamite meets American Movie.

Known, primarily, for portraying Shaun in the breathtaking film/TV series This is England, Thomas Turgoose can be seen in Butterfly Kisses, playing snooker club manager ‘Shrek’ in Rafael Kapelinski’s debut production. The film, showing at the Berlinale, gets into the head of its teenage protagonist (Theo Stevenson), who is harbouring dark, perverse sexual desires.

We had the pleasure of chatting to Turgoose about the production, and how brave a piece of contemporary cinema it is. We also went on ask about This is England (naturally) – as the young actor describes just how special the experience has been to him over the years, and the incredible friendships he’s formed with his fellow cast members and crew. He also speaks briefly about his forthcoming collaboration with Margot Robbie in Terminal, and candidly discusses his career, and how he’s overcome a difficult period in his life.

If I wrote you a symphony/Just to say what you mean to me (what would you do?)Justin Timberlake has stated in the past that the lyrics to his song “My Love” represent a humble approach to love itself. Jonathan Demme’s approach in Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids, his concert documentary of the final show of Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience tour in 2015, is to take this concept and expand upon it. “Love,” in this concert film, is not between individuals, nor between an individual and a group, but rather is a fully utopic vision within a single, musical space in Las Vegas’s MGM Grand. Within this space, Timberlake does not perform as much as react: the audience loves him, and he loves them back. It is Demme’s inspiration to take this premise and run with it, that everybody is a part of the show. In this sense,...

Accustomed to hearing opinions about her weight, Gigi Hadid relishes boxing with the guys at Gotham Gym, where her body isn’t the focus.

“When I walk in , it’s like my big brothers. They don’t care about me as model or what my body looks like. They care that I give a good punch, and that’s how I want to be judged in my athletic space, because that’s what I find pride in,” she said during Reebok’s #NeverPerfect panel.

Lately, Hadid, 21, has dealt with criticism that she’s become too thin. But as she explained at the Reebok event,...

We're still counting down the days to the Younger Season 3 premiere, and celebrating with our interview of Miriam Shor and Peter Hermann from the Atx Festival this summer. Miram plays Liza's boss, Diana and Peter plays Diana's boss and Liza's potential love interest, Charles.

Much like Molly Bernard and Dan Amboyer, I've been a fan of Miriam Shor's for quite some time, so we began by talking about her work in Gcb and the underrated gem Swingtown.

Leaving Peter Hermann out of the initial conversation meant hearing his voice was a shocking surprise. It's deep and quite lovely in person. Miriam used the term resonant and it was fun watching Peter get a little bit uncomfortable before the real conversation began, and what a conversation it was. I hope you enjoy reading it.

We have to talk about the episode where Charles had his pants situation, which earned a brilliant reaction from Diana.

With nine albums under his belt, Blake Shelton has a canon of rollicking redneck anthems and twangy party-starters. But in the past year he and Miranda Lambert split, and he began dating Gwen Stefani, who addressed their romance in This Is What the Truth Feels Like. On his personal new set If I'm Honest, there are recriminations and - you know you want it, be honest - "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," a melting, melodic duet with Stefani. Below, the most revealing lyrics on the album - some of which the Nashville star opened up about himself. Says...

In the Sigler family, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Her mom Connie Sigler, 68, agrees: "She's very determined and likes to win an argument. And so do I!"

And when it comes to life's tougher moments, Jamie-Lynn, who is mom to 2-year-old son Beau with her husband Cutter Dykstra, says she turns to her "lookalike" mom for unwavering support.

Having caught The Invitation during its festival run, I’m excited for Daily Dead readers to check out this expertly executed character-driven thriller from Karyn Kusama that is available today in theaters and on VOD. At the center of The Invitation is Logan Marshall-Green, who told me about what drew him to this project, filming one of the movie’s most intense scenes, and his interest in directing feature films.

As an actor, when you first heard about The Invitation, what made you say “yes” to it? How did you know this was going to be different from the average way of dealing with these topics?

Logan Marshall-Green: Well, I didn’t until I aligned my vision of it, what I wanted with [director] Karyn [Kusama], [and screenwriters] Phil [Hay] and Matt [Manfredi], so when I read it I saw that it could be construed as a genre [piece]. We read it thinking as much, but...

Never one to hold her tongue, Nicki Minaj's penchant for verbal fisticuffs has landed her at odds with several celebrities over the years.

The 33-year-old “Pink Friday” rapper took part in a Facebook Live chat on “The Ellen DeGeneres show on Thursday (April 7), during which a fan asked if she regretted her past feuds. Nicki replied, “Yeah, all the time. All my feuds I regret, because I’m a sweet person, and I don’t wanna be mean to people."

Later, another fan asked, “When are you going to produce a little Nicki?” to which Minaj explained, “When I walk down a little aisle and wear a little white dress.”...

The major question for the jury in Erin Andrews's $75 million civil lawsuit is this:

Should the owners and managers of the Nashville Marriott be held liable for not doing more to protect the sportscaster in 2008, when a stalker, Michael David Barrett, gouged a peephole in her door and secretly recorded a nude video that later went viral?

Attorneys for Andrews, 37, and the Marriott's owners make their final arguments Friday, a day after the defense rested, and then the case will go to the jury.

“Sopranos” actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler has revealed she has multiple sclerosis (Ms), having been diagnosed 15 years ago. “I can’t walk for a long period of time without resting. I cannot run. No superhero roles for me,” the actress told People. “Stairs? I can do them but they’re not the easiest. When I walk, I have to think about every single step, which is annoying and frustrating.” Ms is a disease that affects the central nervous system, but symptoms can differ for each patient.

"The Sopranos" aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007, and for most of those years, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano) was secretly living with multiple sclerosis.

Jamie-Lynn, now 34, told People she was diagnosed at age 20. She didn't mention it publicly because "I wasn't ready until now." She said she was symptom-free for a long time, but in the past decade her Ms has "reared its ugly head."

"I can't walk for a long period of time without resting. I cannot run. No superhero roles for me. Stairs? I can do them but they're not the easiest. When I walk, I have to think about every single step, which is annoying and frustrating."

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Ms "is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body."

Jamie-Lynn Sigler's been battling multiple sclerosis for more than a decade, but says she's only now ready to go public. The former 'Sopranos' star said she actually got the diagnosis when she was 19 ... smack in the middle of the hit HBO show's run.  Sigler says the degenerative disease prevents her from exercising too much. She told People, "I can't walk for a long period of time without resting. I cannot run. No superhero roles for me.

Will Smith is a multi-talented guy, but let's be honest. We love him best for "Gettin' Jiggy With It" (not to mention the "Fresh Prince" theme song), and he entered the "Late Show" stage rapping his biggest hit. '90s dream come true!

Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Oscars, and he visited "Jimmy Kimmel Live" to chat about his process for coming up with jokes.

When I walk into any movie, I hope it will be good. After all, this is how I spend the majority of my time. This is what I write about and speak about and think about more than anything else, and when I see critics who seem to dislike the majority of what they cover, I am baffled. Why would you do this work if you genuinely dislike more than you like? What disappoints me most when I'm in a theater is missed potential. There are films that didn't make it anywhere near this list that are completely horrible, movies that had no potential at all and that deliver nothing to the viewer. Those are your basic garden-variety terrible movies. For a film to end up on this list, it has to be a betrayal, a waste of real potential, because that is the single greatest sin anyone can commit against movies in my opinion.

When you think of the overall Sundance docu selections, programmers may want to balance the hard-hitting slate with this, the curiously titled (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies. Thanks to Dan Ariely’s bookshelf favorite “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty – How We Lie To Everyone, Especially Ourselves,” it benefits from an already built-in aud and via the smart talking heads package, it comes across as an intriguing-sounding “lite” docu experiment. In a Moneyball-ian kind of way, it treats moral and ethical flaws in making minor and major fibs almost in a data analysis argumentative measuring stick. Why finger point when everyone is accountable? Having recently landed some kickstarter funds for completion, we’re not sure if this talking heads package is in the final innings of the edit, but fittingly this is producer Yael Melamede’s (see pic above) first outing as a director – she produced a dozen of items...

You can tell how boring a movie year is by the state of new Halloween costume ideas each fall. At least in terms of memorable characters. When I walk into one of those seasonal pop-up shops and see the same superheroes year after year joined still, a decade after, by Napoleon Dynamite-style “nerd” package costumes, I worry that there isn’t enough fresh and popular movie iconography being entered into the history books of late. What is the 2014 film zeitgeist but more Spider-Man, Captain America, X-Men, Transformers and Hunger Games? New costumes are repeats of old, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and even my old unlikely X-Men meet Forrest Gump and Smurfette ideas), or based on already familiar icons, like Lego people. Frozen is new but familiar. Same with most of the characters in Guardians of the Galaxy, to a degree. If you want to go against the grain of the mainstream and easily recognized...

The 27th season of the acclaimed Pov series begins on Monday, June 23, 2014 at 10 p.m. on PBS and continues weekly through Sept. 22. The season, featuring 13 new independent nonfiction films and an encore broadcast, concludes with a special presentation in fall 2014.

In "When I Walk", a young up-and-coming filmmaker discovers he has multiple sclerosis. To cope, he decides to use the art of filmmaking to look at his new reality. In the Oscar-nominated "The Act of Killing," a group of unrepentant Indonesian mass murderers re-enact their crimes in a surreal performance that mimics the Hollywood movies they grew up with, and shocks a nation. In  "The Genius of Marian," a mother's watercolors help a daughter suffering with Alzheimer's grasp family memories.

The art of politics is also on display in Koch, a history of the life and times of New York City's former mayor Ed Koch that is as rollicking and unconventional as the man himself, in "American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs," about a fiery activist who urges today's movers and shakers to think in entirely new ways, and in "Getting Back to Abnormal," in which a New Orleans politician prone to putting her foot in her mouth gets an education in street smarts and the city's divergent cultures.

Pov recently announced a collaboration with The New York Times to premiere new documentaries on the organization's websites. The first film, "The Men of Atalissa" by Dan Barry and Kassie Bracken, produced by The New York Times, can be seen on www.pbs.org/pov and www.nytimes.com . In addition, Pov will renew its media partnership with New York flagship public radio station Wnyc.

"Documentaries no longer exist on the cultural margins; they have become an essential tool in how we explore and experience the world," said Pov Executive Producer Simon Kilmurry. "The work produced by these filmmakers is remarkable and important, engaging, daring and entertaining. And it's exciting to see how audiences celebrate and embrace these stories."

"Pov programs take you on a journey, whether traveling alongside a politician, a person grappling with a debilitating illness or an individual in love for the first time," said Pov Co-Executive Producer Cynthia Lopez. "As always, Pov films deliver a emotional punch with superbly crafted storytelling. This season promises to be a powerful roller coaster ride."

June 23: "When I Walk" by Jason DaSilva

Jason DaSilva was 25 years old and a rising independent filmmaker when a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis changed everything, and inspired him to make another film. When I Walk is a candid and brave chronicle of one young man's struggle to adapt to the harsh realities of M.S. while holding on to his personal and creative life. With his body growing weaker, DaSilva's spirits, and his film, get a boost from his mother's tough love and the support of Alice Cook, who becomes his wife and filmmaking partner. The result is a life-affirming documentary filled with unexpected moments of joy and humor. Official Selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. A co-production of Itvs. A co-presentation with the Center for Asian American Media (Caam).

June 30: "American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs" by Grace Lee

Grace Lee Boggs, 98, is a Chinese American philosopher, writer, and activist in Detroit with a thick FBI file and a surprising vision of what an American revolution can be. Rooted for 75 years in the labor, civil rights and Black Power movements, she challenges a new generation to throw off old assumptions, think creatively and redefine revolution for our times. Winner, Audience Award, 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival. Festival. A co-presentation with Caam.

July 7: My Way to Olympia by Niko von Glasow

Who better to cover the Paralympics, the international sporting event for athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities, than Niko von Glasow, the world's best-known disabled filmmaker? Unfortunately, or fortunately for anyone seeking an insightful and funny documentary, this filmmaker frankly hates sports and thinks the games are "a stupid idea." Born with severely shortened arms, von Glasow serves as an endearing guide to London's Paralympics competition in "My Way to Olympia." As he meets a one-handed Norwegian table tennis player, the Rwandan sitting volleyball team, an American archer without arms and a Greek paraplegic boccia player, his own stereotypes about disability and sports get delightfully punctured. Official Selection of the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival.

July 14: Getting Back to Abnormal by Louis Alvarez, Andy Kolker, Peter Odabashian, Paul Stekler

What happens when America's most joyous, dysfunctional city rebuilds itself after a disaster? New Orleans is the setting for "Getting Back to Abnormal," a film that serves up a provocative mix of race, corruption and politics to tell the story of the re-election campaign of Stacy Head, a white woman in a city council seat traditionally held by a black representative. Supported by her irrepressible African-American aide Barbara Lacen-Keller, Head polarizes the city as her candidacy threatens to diminish the power and influence of its black citizens. Featuring a cast of characters as colorful as the city itself, the film presents a New Orleans that outsiders rarely see. Official Selection of the 2013 SXSW Film Festival.

A co-production of Itvs.

July 21: Dance for Me by Katrine Philp

Professional ballroom dancing is very big in little Denmark. Since success in this intensely competitive art depends on finding the right partner, aspiring Danish dancers often look beyond their borders to find their matches. In Dance for Me, 15-year-old Russian performer Egor leaves home and family to team up with 14-year-old Mie, one of Denmark's most promising young dancers. Strikingly different, Egor and Mie bond over their passion for Latin dance, and for winning. As they head to the championships, so much is at stake: emotional bonds, career and the future. Dance for Me is a poetic coming-of-age story, with a global twist and thrilling dance moves.

Airing with "Dance for Me" is the StoryCorps animated short A Good Man by The Rauch Brothers. Bryan Wilmoth and his seven younger siblings were raised in a strict, religious home. He talks to his brother Mike about what it was like to reconnect years after their dad kicked Bryan out for being gay. Major funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Produced in association with American Documentary | Pov.

July 28: Fallen City by Qi Zhao

In today's go-go China, an old city completely destroyed by a devastating earthquake can be rebuilt, boasting new and improved civic amenities, in an astoundingly quick two years. But, as "Fallen City" reveals, the journey from the ruined old city of Beichuan to the new Beichuan nearby is long and heartbreaking for the survivors. Three families struggle with loss, most strikingly the loss of children and grandchildre, and feelings of loneliness, fear and dislocation that no amount of propaganda can disguise. First-time director Qi Zhao offers an intimate look at a country torn between tradition and modernity. Official Selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. A co-production of Itvs International.

Aug. 4: 15 to Life: Kenneth's Story by Nadine Pequeneza

Does sentencing a teenager to life without parole serve our society well? The United States is the only country in the world that routinely condemns children to die in prison. This is the story of one of those children, now a young man, seeking a second chance in Florida. At age 15, Kenneth Young received four consecutive life sentences for a series of armed robberies. Imprisoned for more than a decade, he believed he would die behind bars. Now a U.S. Supreme Court decision could set him free. "15 to Life: Kenneth's Story" follows Youn's struggle for redemption, revealing a justice system with thousands of young people serving sentences intended for society's most dangerous criminals.

Aug. 11: Encore presentation: Neurotypical by Adam Larsen

Neurotypical is an unprecedented exploration of autism from the point of view of autistic people themselves. Four-year-old Violet, teenaged Nicholas and adult Paula occupy different positions on the autism spectrum, but they are all at pivotal moments in their lives. How they and the people around them work out their perceptual and behavioral differences becomes a remarkable reflection of the "neurotypical" world, the world of the non-autistic, revealing inventive adaptations on each side and an emerging critique of both what it means to be normal and what it means to be human.

Aug. 18: A World Not Ours by Mahdi Fleifel

"A World Not Ours" is a passionate, bittersweet account of one familyâs multi-generational experience living as permanent refugees. Now a Danish resident, director Mahdi Fleifel grew up in the Ain el-Helweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, established in 1948 as a temporary refuge for exiled Palestinians. Today, the camp houses 70,000 people and is the hometown of generations of Palestinians. The filmmakerâs childhood memories are surprisingly warm and humorous, a testament to the resilience of the community. Yet his yearly visits reveal the increasing desperation of family and friends who remain trapped in psychological as well as political limbo. Official Selection of the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival.

Aug. 25: Big Men by Rachel Boynton

Over five years, director Rachel Boynton and her cinematographer film the quest for oil in Ghana by Dallas-based Kosmos. The company develops the country's first commercial oil field, yet its success is quickly compromised by political intrigue and accusations of corruption. As Ghanaians wait to reap the benefits of oil, the filmmakers discover violent resistance down the coast in the Niger Delta, where poor Nigerians have yet to prosper from decades-old oil fields. "Big Men," executive produced by Brad Pitt, provides an unprecedented inside look at the global deal making and dark underside of energy development, a contest for money and power that is reshaping the world. Official Selection of the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival.

Sept. 1: After Tiller by Martha Shane and Lana Wilson

"After Tiller" is a deeply humanizing and probing portrait of the four doctors in the United States still openly performing third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas, and in the face of intense protest from abortion opponents. It is also an examination of the desperate reasons women seek late abortions. Rather than offering solutions, "After Tiller" presents the complexities of these women's difficult decisions and the compassion and ethical dilemmas of the doctors and staff who fear for their own lives as they treat their patients. Official Selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.

Sept. 8: The Genius of Marian by Banker White and Anna Fitch

"The Genius of Marian" is a visually rich, emotionally complex story about one family's struggle to come to terms with Alzheimer's disease. After Pam White is diagnosed at age 61 with early-onset Alzheimer's, life begins to change, slowly but irrevocably, for Pam and everyone around her. Her husband grapples with his role as it evolves from primary partner to primary caregiver. Pam's adult children find ways to show their love and support while mourning the gradual loss of their mother. Her eldest son, Banker, records their conversations, allowing Pam to share memories of childhood and of her mother, the renowned painter Marian Williams Steele, who had Alzheimer's herself and died in 2001.

Pov is preempted on Sept. 15 and returns the following week.

Sept. 22: Koch by Neil Barsky

New York City mayors have a world stage on which to strut, and they have made legendary use of it. Yet few have matched the bravado, combativeness and egocentricity that Ed Koch brought to the office during his three terms from 1978 to 1989. As Neil Barskyâs Koch recounts, Koch was more than the blunt, funny man New Yorkers either loved or hated. Elected in the 1970s during the cityâs fiscal crisis, he was a new Democrat for the dawning Reagan era, fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Koch finds the former mayor politically active to the end (he died in 2013), still winning the affection of many New Yorkers while driving others to distraction.

In fall 2014 Pov presents a special broadcast (date and time to be announced):

The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimer

Nominated for an Academy Award, The Act of Killing is as dreamlike and terrifying as anything that Werner Herzog (one of the executive producers) could imagine. This film explores a horrifying era in Indonesian history and provides a window into modern Indonesia, where corruption reigns. Not only is the 1965 murder of an estimated one million people honored as a patriotic act, but the killers remain in power. In a mind-bending twist, death-squad leaders dramatize their brutal deeds in the style of the American westerns, musicals and gangster movies they love, and play both themselves and their victims. As their heroic facade crumbles, they come to question what they've done. Winner, 2014 BAFTA Film Award, Best Documentary.

Any fan of Bravo’s long-running Housewives franchise knows the formula for deliciously dramatic reality television: simply assemble a group of fame-hungry women with big egos, bigger hair, and (biggest of all) huge credit card statements. But after hitting cities including Atlanta, New York, and Beverly Hills, it seems like this country is pretty well covered — which makes Bravo’s move across the Atlantic to London a no-brainer. Though the network’s new series, Ladies of London, isn’t officially part of the Housewives franchise, it may as well be. After all, declares one well-dressed cast member in the show’s opener,...

The Labor Day star's past as a Hollywood brat featured more than his share of drugs, booze and tattoos. How much did he draw on his own history in his portrayal of fugitive killer Frank?

Labor Day spins the story of Frank, an escaped convict who gatecrashes suburbia and proceeds to cook a peach cobbler to die for. "Let's put a roof on this house," says Frank, up to his muscled forearms in flour, as he prepares to add the pastry to the filling. Labor Day, it should be noted, is not a film to skimp on its metaphors. The peach cobbler represents the tumbledown family home, sad and broken and in need of repair. No doubt it also represents Frank, whose crusty exterior contains a warm, gooey centre. Perhaps it even says something about the actor who plays him too.

Hosting Saturday Night Live for the second time, Jimmy Fallon returned to Studio 8H last night with his good friend Justin Timberlake providing the music (and more). The two reprised fan favorite sketches “Barry Gibb Talk Show” and “______-ville”, and were joined by special guests Paul McCartney, Madonna, Barry Gibb, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg. You can find all the highlights, including Timberlake’s “Only When I Walk Away” and “Pair of Wings” below.

Now that’s what I call a Christmas show!

Saturday’s Jimberlake joint wasn’t perfect. It certainly wasn’t as consistently wonderful as Jimmy Fallon’s last Christmas episode, which set the standard for SNL holiday cheer two years ago. And it did contain one sketch offensively bad enough to almost ruin the whole night’s effect. Pound for pound, though, Fallon and his unofficial cohost Justin Timberlake did present one of this season’s best overall episodes — thanks largely to their unflagging energy and enthusiasm, which gave a jolt of joy to even the night’s less inspired bits.

Jimmy Fallon hosted Saturday Night Live with friend and frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake acting as musical guest and honorary co-host on Saturday, Dec. 21.

The show began with Timberlake reprising his signature role as a singing salesman for Omeletteville, Veganville, etc. This time, he was singing for people to “Bring It On Down To Wrappinville” with Fallon by his side.

Jimmy Fallon Sings With Paul McCartney

Next, Fallon performed a song monologue, where he spoke about his favorite musical idols, such as Bob Dylan and David Bowie. He was just launching into his best Paul McCartney impression when the Beatle himself came onstage. Fallon and McCartney serenaded the crowd with “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”

Timberlake Does Jimmy Fallon Impression

Both Timberlake and Fallon had a hard time staying in character during the “Celebrity Family Feud” sketch in which Timberlake impersonated Fallon while Fallon did his best Jim Parsons, of The Big Bang Theory.

When it comes to alcohol, I'm a big believer in the idea that the bottle is as important as what's inside of the bottle.  When I walk through my local liquor store or beer distributor, I'm almost always on the hunt for the coolest looking or most cleverly titled bottle of booze - and what bottle I decide to come home with is largely decided by those two factors.  In other words, I'm not buying 'Hamptons Vineyard Wine'... but if that same bottle of wine was called 'Vampire's Blood Wine' instead, I'd be all over it.  Just like the VHS tapes in the horror section of the video store, it's all about catching the eye and sparking the imagination.

This year, Bob Barker's birthday presents include a return to his longtime television home.

The iconic game show host turns 90 on Thursday, Dec. 12, the day he'll be seen again on the CBS game show "The Price Is Right." Barker's reappearance will be a highlight of a full week of celebrating him on the program, with current host Drew Carey also presenting a daily segment on a concern long advocated by animal rights activist Barker: pet adoption.

"It went very well," the ever-genial Barker tells Zap2it of his birthday show, which was taped last month. "It was heartwarming to even be there. The people were so nice, from [executive producer] Mike Richards right on down ... and certainly including Drew. He has always, always been very nice.

"There are people there with whom I had worked, and it was great to be reunited with them," notes Barker, who hosted "The Price Is Right...

Ten years ago, Love Actually hit theaters, and with it came an endlessly re-watchable Christmastime collection of love stories that are actually, well, all around us. The film explored 10 separate vignettes — some heartwarming and hilarious, some tragic and heartbreaking – that saw its characters “get the sh–” kicked out of them by love. To celebrate the film’s legacy, we reached out to the film’s cast to talk about their storylines and behind-the-scenes takes.

If you ever see Rodrigo Santoro in an airport, you can bet he’s thinking of one film: Love Actually.
