4 hours ago | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
The 2014 Cannes Film Festival lineup is out, and while it certainly includes enough highly anticipated films to fulfill any cinephile's dreams between now and the festival's May 14th kick-off, there were a few films that didn't end up making the cut -- some bigger surprises than others. Whether due to the film not being done or a strategic move to screen it elsewhere or maybe even Cannes rejecting it, quite a few high profile films are now officially major contenders for the fall festival circuit's main trio -- Venice, Toronto and/or Telluride. Here are 10 examples: "Big Eyes" Directed by Tim Burton Tim Burton -- who headed the Cannes jury two years back -- has gotten a lot of flack as of late thanks to big budget, critically panned films like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Dark Shadows."

FX Renews The Americans
22 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
FX has renewed The Americans for a 13-episode third season, the network announced today.

Even though FX has been promising for several weeks that an official announcement was nigh, it's still a relief to know, officially, that everyone will be back for more espionage. More sexy espionage. And presumably more espionage-y sex, too. »

Valerie Harper Says 'Cancer Free' Quote Was Taken Out of Context
22 minutes ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Erroneous reports this week suggesting Valerie Harper was "cancer free" can be chalked up to a misunderstanding between the actress and a reporter.

"I had just had my yearly full-body scan to determine if this sneaky cancer had migrated to other parts of my body," the Rhoda star, 74, says in a new statement released by The Hallmark Channel.
