Movies Rock on CBS Tonight

BuzzSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:17:58 PST

Fashion Rocks brought fashion and music together back in September, and tonight, another CBS special will unite music and the movies. Movies Rock, a two-hour special that begins at 9 p.m. EST and PST tonight, is much like its fashionista cousin, right down to the Conde Nast magazine supplement and star-studded lineup.

I told you a while back about some of the performances, which will feature musicians singing their favorite songs from the movies - Beyonce performing "Over the Rainbow," Carrie Underwood belting "The Sound of Music," and more. There's a big list of other performers, as well, including Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson, Fergie, and Elton John.

From Pop's glimpse at the dramatic red carpet, this looks like it was one can't-miss Hollywood event. To check out a video preview, just

Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Elton John to Perform at Movies Rock

BuzzSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:29:12 PDT

Speaking of well-known music from movies, Conde Nast Media Group the Producers Guild and the Entertainment Industry Foundation will team up for Movies Rock, a salute to music in movies, which will air December 7 on CBS. Similar to their Fashion Rocks event, "Movies Rock will be supplemented by a magazine component, also called Movies Rock, which will be packaged with 14 December Conde Nast titles. Publication will highlight stars, directors and musicians, and Bill Murray is the cover."
The following performances will take place:

Beyonce will sing "Over the Rainbow"
Carrie Underwood will perform "The Sound of Music"
Fergie and Jennifer Hudson will pay tribute to Bond films with "Live and Let Die" and "Goldfinger"
Mary J. Blige and John Legend will sing "As Time Goes By"
Elton John "will honor music from animated movies"
John Williams will perform a medley from his original scores, which include Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark

This sounds pretty cool, and I look forward to seeing this in December. However, there are other songs and scores I'd love to see performed as well, such as the theme music from The Godfather and Gone With the Wind, and perhaps "In Your Eyes" from Say Anything.

What about you? What iconic songs-from-movies would you include in a tribute concert?

Jane Krakowski Says Jenna Would Play Anastasia in Fifty Shades of Grey

Annie Scudder — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:10:25 PDT

30 Rock's season finale aired last week, and it's official that the next season will be its last. We caught up with Jane Krakowski, who plays Jenna Maroney, the narcissistic actress engaged to her male impersonator. In addition to her work on 30 Rock, Jane's using her comedic talent for Best Night Ever, an upcoming vignette series for NBC. She'll star alongside Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic. We had a chance to talk to Jane, and she reflected on what she's learned from 30 Rock and even took a guess at what Jenna would make of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon. Read on.

TrèsSugar: The S&M erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey is a bestseller and being made into a movie. Do you think Jenna would find it tame?
Jane Krakowski: I'm sure Jenna is buying the rights already to play the role. Everybody's reading that book. I haven't read it yet, but I see it in everyone's hands.

TS: Have you learned anything from your 30 Rock character over the years?
JK: I think my big lesson is to probably not do anything that Jenna does. So whatever she does, do the opposite. You might be better off. But that's the fun part about playing someone like her. You can be as outrageous as possible and get away with it within our structure that is TGS and 30 Rock, so there are so many things that the character has done over the seasons where I'm like, "Really? Are you sure we're going to be able to do this and get away with this?" And in that world and the blanket that is Tina Fey's genius it always seems to be alright. I will trust her wherever she sends me.

TS: Who is your favorite couple on the show?
JK: Well of course I'm thrilled Jenna has taken one step toward being humane by getting engaged. Although, Paul being a wonderful man it's (still) the most narcissistic wedding that could possibly happen, because she's marrying a male impersonator of her. I've always enjoyed Liz Lemon's relationships. I loved when Michael Sheen was on the show. I really adored him. I think her current relationship with the character of Criss is really a great one.

TS: In your latest role in NBC's TV vignettes series titled Best Night Ever, you play a tarot card reader. What would you hope the cards hold for Jenna?
JK: Wow. I sort of wish the tarot card reader would tell me that 30 Rock is not ending after 13 episodes next season. We found out that it's official that we're only going to be doing 13 more. It's been the greatest experience.

You can watch our interview with Jane below and also find out why she's excited about her new role in Best Night Ever.

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise Don't Let the Weather Rain on Their Parade

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:26:09 PDT

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise spent a rainy NYC afternoon together yesterday. The mother and daughter held hands as they walked along the city streets and were even spotted breaking out in a playful sprint. When the rain picked up, Suri protected her baby doll from the elements under an umbrella while her mom followed closely behind. Katie and Suri are back in the Big Apple after spending some time in Louisiana recently.

Tom Cruise has been in Baton Rouge filming Oblivion, in which he plays a soldier stuck on Earth following the apocalypse. Audiences will next see the actor take on a more lighthearted role, however, in Rock of Ages. Tom grew out his hair to play an '80s rocker alongside an all-star cast that also includes Mary J. Blige and Alec Baldwin. Tom is one of several major movie stars in this year's Pop 100 Faceoff, so don't forget to cast your vote for a chance at $2,500!

Lauren Turner — Mon, 21 May 2012 09:50:23 PDT

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise met up with a group of friends in Baton Rouge yesterday. They checked out fun animal statues and played in a park during the sunny afternoon. Katie and Suri are back in Louisiana while Tom Cruise films Oblivion, though he's already started switching gears to promote Rock of Ages. He was shirtless on the cover of W and chatted with the magazine about how Katie and Suri encouraged him to take the musical role. His costar Julianne Hough has begun press as well and was a presenter at last night's Billboard Music Awards. Their movie hits theaters on June 15, kicking off an exciting Summer that also includes the Teen Choice Awards, where Tom is nominated for best actor in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

Buzz Blabber: Grey's Anatomy Finale Is a Big Upset

Maggie Pehanick — Sun, 20 May 2012 03:05:00 PDT

It looks like we weren't the only ones gabbing about the big entertainment stories this week! Grey's Anatomy ignited quite a response by ending its season with a shocking death. The news is in about all the series cancellations and renewals, and not everyone is pleased. Meanwhile, the Magic Mike stars graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly, but not everyone is feeling the stripper vibe. Check out the most talked-about stories of the week!

Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes shocked viewers

"I was very disappointed with season finale. You figure they'd want the show to be at its best the last two seasons. I don't understand the need to kill off a character that everyone loves when there are so many other other characters that we can do without: April, Teddy, Owen, even Arizona. Fans that have been watching Grey's from the very beginning are very attached to characters that have been around for a while." - Karen2711218
"Lexie was by far the most interesting and complex character on the show. She is portrayed by a talented actor and her scenes were always the most interesting for me to watch. I have to say that her death on the show was shocking and disappointing." - Mauli2713484
"I'm also disappointed by the finale! I kept hoping that it was all Meredith's dream! I really loved Lexie and was hoping her and Mark would finally be together!" - Kpeezy20

To check out what TV cancellations viewers were bummed about, just

Networks broke some hearts with cancellation announcements

"Very bummed that Pan Am, GCB and Ringer were canceled! Can't believe 2 Broke Girls got another season. Finder was really good. Although I like Awake I can see why it didn't have enough viewers to keep the show going. I think it's time for all the CSIs to cancel. How many new ways can they kill a body?" - mdmachlin
"Happy that all my shows are coming back (30 Rock, Smash, Happy Endings, Once Upon a Time) and have to admit, I thought some of the shows on this list were already over, like Private Practice and 90210, and a good chunk had never heard of." - Jesssa
"So unfortunate that some of these shows are canceled. I liked Finder and Awake. I can't believe Whitney was renewed for another season. It's about time CSI: Miami is over!" - letter2elise

Not everyone is on the Magic Mike train

"Give me a break. With the exception of Matt Bomer (really sorry to see him associated with a project like this), these guys are completely interchangeable with so many other so-called actors in the business today. When I spend my hard-earned money on a movie, I want to see good acting and a decent plot, not a bunch of narcissistic body builder clones with no substance." - Janet2373373
"Plot looks ridiculous!! But I will definitely be getting my girlfriends together to go see this . . . wow." - Livvy-P
"OK, I know these guys are pretty yummy, but would people really go to the theater to see this movie? What's the story about?" - chocolate79
