Starz has released the trailer for the second season of the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson-produced series Bmf, inspired by the true story of the Flenory brothers, Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest Tee.” In the footage above, we open in the late ’80s in Detroit, where the two brothers rose from the depths of poverty, navigating the war on drugs to becoming the kings of the city. However, Demetrius has expansion plans. “We about to take over the whole nation,” he says during a toast to his black mafia family. Expect to see turf wars, territory takeovers, and big appearances from actors Snoop Dogg and Mo’Nique. Throughout the season, the Flenory brothers pursue their version of the American Dream as they build a better life in a system that was stacked against them and become game-changers in hip-hop culture during the process. “The universal themes of family, faith, and loyalty are

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.] It’s no secret that James Gunn loves a good tune, and while he pays homage to classics in his Guardians of the Galaxy films and on HBO Max‘s Peacemaker, particularly the show’s opening theme sequence, he’s stepping into new territory with The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. It features two live performances, “I Don’t Know What Christmas Is (But Christmastime Is Here)” and “Here It Is Christmas Time.” The first tune is original to the special, and the second is a 2007 song from The Old 97’s. The band features in the film and performs both songs. (Credit: Disney+/Marvel Studios) In a franchise like Guardians, music is key, and the live performances add a special touch considering the holiday theme. As viewers who have tuned in will know, the installment focuses on Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax’s (Dave Bautista) ...

Kyle Dickard, a cast member on the Bravo reality series Below Deck Adventure, has been arrested after running onto a soccer field during a game at the Drv Pnk Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to a police report (via People), Dickard was arrested last weekend during a soccer game between Colombia and Paraguay. The reality star is said to have stormed past security and the police as he ran onto the field and allegedly struck a security guard in the face as they tried to tackle him. Dickard continued to resist arrest, which the report said “caused the crowd to become unruly, throwing beer cans at security and police” and “also incited several others to run onto the field, further inciting the crowd and breaching the peace.” The report also claims that Dickard attempted to bribe the officers, offering up to 300 for them to let him go. He was charged with disorderly conduct,

Wednesday Addams is many things, but you wouldn’t think of her as a dancer. But in the premiere season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” we see the titular character, expertly played by Jenna Ortega, navigate the world of high school dances in Episode 4, “Woe Is the Night.” The Rave’N dance sees Wednesday strut her stuff and showcase a beautiful dress designed by series director Tim Burton’s long-time costume designer, Colleen Atwood.

Wednesday’s dress had to fulfill several requirements, according to Atwood, who talked to IndieWire via Zoom. Since Wednesday was going to dance in it it had to have a flow that wouldn’t impede Ortega’s movements while looking “sort of otherwordly.” Initially conceived as something similar to a 1950s prom dress, Atwood assumed she’d end up making the dress from scratch, especially since Wednesday buys it from a vintage store in the series. “Cut

“Ho-ho-ho” meets Hoa when Hallmark queen Lacey Chabert — in her 12th holiday film for the network! — ugly-sweaters up as Emily, a newly single editor hoping to spend the season alone at her parents’ Salt Lake City house. Before you can say “bah, humbug,” she’s roped into the cul-de-sac’s required festivities by the homeowner association’s Christmas-obsessed new president (Wes Brown). She even runs into some top-secret guests familiar to Hallmark fans. Here, Chabert tells all about Haul Out the Holly.  Wes Brown’s Jared is so quirky. Not the typical hunk with a heart. Lacey Chabert: He did such a wonderful job…. I was surrounded by the funniest people. The biggest challenge on set was to not laugh. I love that Emily, at one point, actually watches Hallmark’s Christmas in Vienna, starring Brennan Elliott. We’ve done nine Hallmark movies together and he’s a dear friend,

“You don’t think every experience is the universe trying to teach us something?” a curious Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini) asks her best friend, cynical and straight-laced Jen Harding (Christina Applegate), in the final season of Netflix‘s Dead To Me. Jen’s response is one of reproach, but as I watched the episode, I found myself taken aback by the question. Before screeners hit my inbox over a month before the show’s public release, I had already been personally mourning the ending of this series the same way some people prepare to say goodbye to a person; despite working in the entertainment industry there have been very few shows that I’ve become attached to enough to watch every episode of, invest myself in, and feel connected to on more than just an enjoyment level. Dead To Me was one of those shows. After plowing through the first

Watching the premiere episode of Hulu’s limited series “Welcome to Chippendales” left me thinking about the 1997 comedy classic “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” To look impressive to their former classmates, Romy (Mira Sorvino) tells them she invented Post-Its and that her bestie, Michele (Lisa Kudrow), thought to make them yellow.

In Hulu’s new limited series “Welcome to Chippendales,” Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten (Nicola Peltz) is presented as the person behind putting the Chippendales dancers in their soon-to-be-iconic cuffs-and-collars look. With 10 minutes left in the pilot, Stratten pitches an idea to Chippendales creator Steve Bannerjee (Kumail Nanjiani): “I know how much you admire Hugh Hefner…which got me thinking, what if Chippendales did a Playboy Club thing? Cuffs and collars, just like the Bunnies.”

It’s understandable why the series wants to show Stratten had autonomy, especially considering that her name is now synonymous with her murder.

The following contains spoilers from The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, a Marvel special presentation now streaming on Disney+.

Disney+’s The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was by-and-large and by design a candy-colored, 40-minute confection. A holiday folly if there ever was one. And yet it did deliver a medium-sized reveal that should carry over into at least one future MCU project.

Early on in the Marvel special presentation, when Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff) is lobbying to seek out a very special Christmas gift for a melancholy Quill (Chris Pratt), she privately and casually mentions to Drax (Dave Bautista) her “secret” that he and only he knows — that she and Peter share a father in Ego (played in Guardians Vol. 2 by Kurt Russell).

Recounting why she has withheld this information thus far, Mantis tells Drax, “Peter’s father… our father… killed his mother and tried to kill him. I don’t want him to be reminded of that every time he sees me.”

And yet at the end of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, after delivering Footloose star Kevin Bacon (if not Ren McCormack himself) to Quill, Mantis finally disclosed to her half-brother their connection.

“Your father, Peter, he might be… he might be… he is… my father, too,” she revealed. To which a happily surprised Quill said, “Mantis, that’s the greatest Christmas gift I could ever get!”

The Mantis-Quill connection is not entirely surprising, if at all. Fans have long speculated about their shared paternity — sparked in part by a blink-and-you-missed it image from Vol. 2, which depicted Ego’s myriad hook-ups, but also by a quickly deleted social media post by an actress who said she played “Mantis’ Mom” in a deleted scene from he first sequel.

And, indeed, Guardians Vol. 2 was where this sibling bond was originally to be revealed.

“I’ve know this little secret for years, because I knew about it when I was shooting Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” Mantis’ portrayer, Pom Klementieff, tells TVLine. “I think it was supposed to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and then [franchise writer-director] James Gunn decided to hold onto it and reveal it later.”

Klementieff went on to say, “It’s nice that it’s out there now” because “it creates more layers and a special and beautiful, bond between the two characters.”

As individuals, Mantis and Quill “can feel so isolated and gloomy,” Klementieff noted, but moving forward — Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to hit theaters May 5, 2023. — “this creates something pretty special between the two of them.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special also introduced to the MCU Cosmo the Spacedog (voiced by Borat Subsequent Moviefilm‘s Oscar-nominated Maria Bakalova)… revealed that Quill & Co. have been living in the Head of Knowhere… gifted Rocket with Bucky’s vibranium arm (A+ Infinity War callback!)… and unveiled the titular team’s new spaceship, which is named after (David) Bowie.

Idris Elba‘s Dci John Luther seems to be leaving the streets of London and heading to new territory judging by the first images from Netflix‘s upcoming Luther film. The forthcoming feature will see The Wire alum reprise the lead role he played across five seasons of the popular British crime thriller. As the new photos show, Elba is sporting his now signature tweed coat as he transforms into the ingenious but tormented detective. But while the dress sense might be the same, the location is not. In the first image, Elba is seen trudging across a snowy terrain, with mountains in the background, peeking over the horizon. Based on his pained look and gritted teeth, we can imagine the troubled police detective wishes he had brought a thicker jacket. Netflix The second photo sees the actor standing in what appears to be an underground railway tunnel. There are

There is a very real possibility of too much Marvel — but not today.

“The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” debuts today on Disney+, where it makes a strong (and genuinely hysterical) case for expanding the MCU’s roster and limits. “Guardians” writer and director James Gunn wrote the special in a matter of hours while filming 2023’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” an enjoyable experience juxtaposed with the “torture” of his third MCU feature film.

The special swiftly and smartly sets up some plot threads and larger MCU nuggets — like the Guardians taking over Knowhere, their new talking dog (Maria Bakalova), and Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) concerning Christmas present — but it’s also the rare piece of the Marvel story that requires almost no prior knowledge. All that matters is that these are aliens in space, and that Peter (Chris Pratt) was abducted from Earth at a young age.

Oh Yeong-su, the Korean actor known for playing Oh Il-nam in the smash-hit Netflix survival drama Squid Game, has been indicted on sexual misconduct charges. As reported by Variety, prosecutors in Suwon revealed that Oh was charged on Thursday, November 17, for allegedly inappropriately touching a woman’s body in mid-2017. He was released without detention. A complaint against Oh was first made in December 2021, but authorities closed the case in April 2022. However, according to local news reports, the case has now been reopened at the alleged victim’s request. After being questioned by prosecutors, Oh denied the allegations. Speaking with the Korean broadcaster Jtbc, Oh claimed he was just helping show the woman around a lake. “I just held her hand to guide the way around the lake. I apologized because [the person] said she wouldn’t make a fuss about it, but it doesn’t mean that I admit the charges,

90210 alum Trevor Donovan has responded to the latest controversy surrounding the Great American Family (Gaf) network and Candace Cameron Bure‘s comments about “traditional marriage.” The actor, who is under a long-term deal with Gaf, opened up about the divisive comments made by Bure to The Wall Street Journal, where she said the Christian faith-based network intended to “keep traditional marriage at the core” of its programming. “I feel people should be and believe what they want, as long as they are kind and accepting of others,” Donovan told Variety. “For those of you who have followed me since 90210, you know my heart and character. No matter who you love, no matter what your race or religion is, you matter.” Donovan, who recently competed on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars, signed an overall deal with Great American Media in 2021, which will see him star in several of

Oh Yeong-su, the Korean actor who recently won a Golden Globe for his performance in hit series “Squid Game,” has been indicted on sexual misconduct charges. He was released without detention.

Prosecutors in Suwon, near Seoul, revealed on Friday that they had charged Oh a day earlier. The 78-year-old Oh is alleged to have inappropriately touched the body of a woman in mid-2017.

The alleged victim filed a complaint against Oh in December last year. Authorities closed the case in April, but reopened it again at the victim’s request, the Yonhap news agency reports. Questioned by prosecutors, Oh denied the allegations.

Veteran Rome-based distribution and production exec Thomas J. Ciampa, who in June exited WarnerMedia where he was Italy, Spain and Portugal country manager, is joining prominent Italian producer Marco Belardi’s expanding Bamboo Production shingle as its chief of international operations.

Ciampa, who worked at Warner Bros. in Italy for 25 years in various guises, in January 2022 had replaced Barbara Salabè as the top WarnerMedia exec when she exited after three decades. But Ciampa was then replaced in June by Alessandro Araimo as part of the restructuring due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

Ciampa’s responsibilities had included overall theatrical distribution for Warner Bros.

For as long as television has existed, there has been footage that never made the final cut. This is mostly because things don’t always go according to plan in TV land. Hours are grueling, filming gets tiresome, and sometimes mishaps can bring a bit of levity to the process. At best, these mistakes deliver an unintentional gag that eventually ends up in a blooper reel for audiences to enjoy. Although every show is prone to a funny flub or two, it’s only natural that some of the best outtakes come from the sitcoms genre. However, there are also some dramas with superbly funny moments that also make the cut. Check out our picks for the best television bloopers of all time below. 10.

It’s that time of the year that holiday movies take over Hallmark Channel (with “Countdown to Christmas”) & Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (with “Miracles of Christmas”), and we love it. We’re not the only ones, as TV Insider learned when we recently caught up with the stars of the movies on the red carpet for Hallmark Media’s star-studded kickoff of “Countdown to Christmas.” “I think we all know by now that Hallmark is about Christmas, it’s about connection,” Nadine Ellis (The Holiday Stocking) says in the video above. And, as Ashley Williams (Five More Minutes: Moments Like These) notes, it allowed people to find a connection, to feel “unified” during the pandemic, “a true time of isolation.” And these movies include stories that everyone can enjoy, as The Holiday Sitter‘s Jonathan Bennett and George Krissa share. “We love telling stories at Hallmark Channel, especially LGBTQ+ Christmas stories,
