Now that "The Black Donnellys" is officially canned, we'll get two hours of "Thank God You're Here," NBC's new improv show in which celebrities walk into a set-up scene and have to ad-lib their way through. The show debuts this coming Monday, April 9, but you don't have to wait to see it — the premiere episode is available online now. My snap judgment: TV isn't the best showcase for improv, Read more
The third (and most likely final) trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is here, and it's just as eerie as the first two. However, there's a lot of new footage here and plenty of new clues about what we're in for when the film hits theaters July 20. Here are the top five reasons we're excited about the latest preview: Joseph Gordon-Levitt does, in fact, speak in this movie. We're still not entirely Read more
Thousands of cookbooks were published in the last year, but which ones are really worth buying? The International Association of Culinary Professionals, or IACP, tackled the question as it announced its cookbook award finalists for 2012 today. Among them: plenty of cookbooks from top restaurant chefs, like Jean-Georges Vongerichten, John Besh, and Andrew Carmellini, as well as new books from Read more
The teaser for The Dark Knight Rises was a fun little preview of the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, but the full trailer is the one that will send shivers down your spine. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is featured a little, but this preview mostly focuses on the villains: Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I'm already loving Hathaway as an evil-doer, who hints Read more
For the second year in a row, the Recording Academy has given a hip-hop artist the most Grammy nominations. Last year, it was rapper Eminem with eight, and this year, Kanye West leads the nominees with seven chances at the golden gramophone, including a song of the year nod for "All of the Lights." West is also nominated twice in the rap album of the year category for his collaboration with Jay-Z Read more
Filming for The Dark Knight Rises has moved from Pittsburgh to Manhattan, with Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt spotted on the set this week. As you can see in these photos, Trump Tower has been made over for Wayne Industries, as Bale is out of his bat suit to channel his everyday alter ego, Bruce Wayne. Gordon-Levitt was fully decked out as a police officer in this exciting first look at Read more
Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon-Levitt reported to the Manhattan set of The Dark Knight Rises earlier today. Both gentlemen arrived in their street clothes and quickly changed into their costumes for a series of external shots in front of NYC's Trump Tower. The iconic building was temporarily transformed into Wayne Enterprises for Christopher Nolan's blockbuster, and many spectators filled the Read more
We already knew that Christopher Nolan was bringing his Inception stars Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt along for The Dark Knight Rises, and now we know who they'll be playing. As expected, Cotillard will be a new love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne in the form of a Wayne Industries board member named Miranda Tate. Gordon-Levitt, on the other hand, won't be taking on a Read more
Christopher Nolan must really love his Inception cast: Marion Cotillard is in talks to join The Dark Knight Rises, just steps behind her costars Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who have already signed on. There's no confirmation on who Cotillard will play, but the rumored role is Thalia Al Ghul, the daughter of the character Liam Neeson played in Batman Begins. Though her name hasn't always Read more
I could not have been more excited when I saw the first photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. The film won't be out until next year, but I couldn't resist looking back at some of my favorite female performances from the history of Batman films. Some are creepy supervillianesses while others are Bruce Wayne's love interests, but they all have one thing in common: they hold Read more
