"I am going to call a lot of names tonight, but there is one person that we all know…if we call his name he will not show up," director Michael Roskam told the audience at the premiere of The Drop, held at New York City's Landmark Sunshine Cinema on Monday night. The Tom Hardy-starring character-driven crime drama — set in a Brooklyn bar used by Chechen mobsters as a temporary "drop spot" for dirty cash — marks James Gandolfini's last onscreen appearance, which made the premiere bittersweet. "He was amazing at showing how to be vulnerable,"

5 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
From the looks of the guest stars coming to Fox this fall, there won't be a single other attractive person left anywhere on the planet. Jessica Biel is hitting up New Girl. Eva Longoria is hitting up Brooklyn Nine-Nine. And in the most shocking news of all time (it totally isn't), their new co-stars had ridiculously nice things to say about them at last night's Fox Fall Eco-Casino party. "She's amazing," Zooey Deschanel said of Jessica, whom she will dance-battle at a wedding in the new season. "I mean talk about like, she's beautiful, she's really funny, she is so nice. She's a hell of a dancer. This girl I mean she could do anything. I would vote for her for president if she »
Tiff: Adam Sandler's 'The Cobbler' goes for $3.5 million
7 minutes ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The Cobbler didn’t pull down the rave reviews that writer/director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent) is usually accustomed to when it debuted earlier this week at the Toronto Film Festival, but an Adam Sandler movie still demands attention. One of Sandler’s three festival movies, and the only one that he truly carries, was picked up by Rlj/Image Entertainment, which acquired the U.S. rights to The Cobbler for about $3.5 million.
In the fable, Sandler plays a lonely New York shoe-repairman who senses that he’s let life past him by. But when he discovers a magical »

34 minutes ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
The routine surgical procedure that ultimately took the life of Joan Rivers was the result of an unplanned biopsy on her vocal cords, according to The New York Daily News. The procedure is one that should not be conducted outside of a hospital, according to medical experts who spoke with the New York Daily News. Rivers underwent the procedure at Yorkville Endoscopy in New York, which generally deals with digestive issues.

‘The Maze Runner,’ ‘The Equalizer’ Join TV Ad-Spend Top 5
1 hour ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In this week’s edition of the Variety Movie Commercial Tracker, powered by iSpot.tv, “This Is Where I Leave You” leads in spending with an estimated outlay of $5.1 million for spots that have aired 946 times across 44 networks through September 7. This is the second week in a row the comedy-drama has topped our chart, even though its spending dropped considerably (from $8.1 million last time).
In fact, spending is down overall in our chart — a reflection of the post-Labor Day, late-summer lull — with the exceptions being the new two new entrants, “The Maze Runner,” in fourth place, and “The Equalizer,” in fifth.
Both of those movies, incidentally, placed more of their ads on Comedy Central than any other networks — also the case for “This Is Where I Leave You” — which makes the Viacom cable channel the true dominant force in our chart this week.

Jared Leto's Bulge Is Unforgettable: Watch the Singer Grab His Impressive Junk During 30 Seconds to Mars Concert
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Hey Jared Leto, is that an Oscar in your pants or are you just really happy to see us? The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman revealed that his award-winning acting and vocals aren't the only gifts he's proud to show off during the band's Toronto concert in late August. Leto, wearing a long tank top with skinny sweats and that apron-type contraption that's apparently trendy right now (you know what we're talking about, right?), was serenading the crowd with the band's hit "End of All Days" and when singing the line, "seduction is my game," felt inspired to grab and subsequently flaunt his bulge. And...well, wow. The eyebrow-raising moment—which happens at the »
Pee-Wee Herman Was the Original Voice of Roger Rabbit?! Shocking Facts Revealed in Leaked Disney Video
1 hour ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Pee-Wee Herman was this close to voicing an iconic cartoon character. According to new footage obtained from an '80s special titled Disney Studio Showcase, producers originally wanted someone other than Charles Fleischer to voice Roger Rabbit. In fact, the first idea of Who Framed Roger Rabbit featured a young Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman) voicing the "lovable" and "goofy" character. That's not the only shocking confession from creators. It turns out Jessica Rabbit's character was hardly in love with Roger Rabbit. "Jessica is a rabbit by marriage only," producer Marc Sturdivant explains in the clip. "She's actually an ambitious »
Truth In Montage: '23 Jump Street' is in the works
1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Looks like that "22 Jump Street" post-credits montage wasn't a joke. Sony is putting a third film in the Channing Tatum-Jonah Hill comedy franchise into motion, hiring "22" writer Rodney Rothman to write the screenplay, according to Deadline. There's no word yet on whether directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller will return at the helm, however. "22 Jump Street" ended with a montage poking fun at the idea of a third (and a fourth, and a hundredth) film in the series, but after grossing nearly $320 million worldwide a second sequel is a no-brainer for the studio. Would you like to see "23 Jump Street"? Let us know in the comments. »

Taraji P. Henson: 'I'm Treated Like I'm on the D-List'
1 hour ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Taraji P. Henson's acting career is impressive, but she says she still gets treated like a wannabe. "I'm treated like I'm on the D-list," Henson tells Ebony in its October issue on newsstands now. "I'm still being considered with actresses who haven't done half the stuff I've achieved." Henson, 43, was nominated for an Oscar in 2009 for her role as Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. In 2011, she earned an Emmy nomination for the title role in Taken from Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story. The actress says the lack of deference she's sometimes shown just fuels her to accomplish more. »

Benedict Cumberbatch says finding Alan Turing's voice wasn't easy in 'Imitation Game'
1 hour ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Toronto — Get ready to hear a lot about Benedict Cumberbatch on the Oscar trail this season, as his performance as legendary computer science pioneer Alan Turing in Morten Tyldum's "The Imitation Game" joined an increasingly crowded Best Actor race when the film premiered in Telluride over the Labor Day weekend, and caught yet another stride with audiences at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The specificity of the performance is what will continue to draw raves, and likely awards consideration, right down to the cadence of the man's speech. But how to draw such specificity when your subject is someone so enigmatic and when actual audio or visual recorded documentation is elusive? "We all wanted to honor the integrity of who he apparently was, but also realize that we're giving him to an audience that wouldn't have known, and therefore there's an element of a blank canvas," Cumberbatch says in the video interview above. »

I don't know about you, but I can't stop watching the dozens and dozens of Joan Rivers media available on YouTube and Netflix. Right now I'm looking back at "In Bed with Joan," her interview webseries featuring a special guest and a chat in bed. What could be more perfect? In this episode -- the last one Joan filmed -- she interviewed the winner of the sixth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," the hilarious Bianca Del Rio. You'll notice that Bianca is just as fast as Joan, and together they have an extraordinarily fun time. It's a must-watch. »

2 hours ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
If the Internet clues prove to be true, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift's friendship has come to an end. The two crooners are in the middle of falling out rumors after the Prism singer suggested that she's the person T.Swift complained about in her recent Rolling Stone interview through a cryptic tweet posted early today. "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing..." Perry tweeted Tuesday. The ex-country star, without naming any names (natch), talked about the inspiration for the song "Bad Blood" (which appears on her new album, 1989) saying it had to do with a fellow singer who allegedly did her dirty. "It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena »
