It took Jon Bernthal more than a decade to achieve his overnight success. Pinballing through two dozen TV shows and films before his breakthrough, when he was cast as Shane Walsh in Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead on AMC. Bernthal used this break as a springboard to propel him into minor roles and bit parts in acclaimed films like The Wolf of Wall Street, Sicario, and Fury working with filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Denis Villeneuve, and David Ayer. Bernthal's characters are almost always coiled springs, men of extreme emotional and physical intensity -- and his career is just getting started.
Last year Bernthal appeared in Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil Season 2, as Frank Castle (aka The Punisher), a decorated, Marine Corps, combat veteran whose life is turned upside down when his family is killed by drug dealers. The Punisher is a complex character that many have written off as one-note,...

That bit of Michael Jackson lyrical gobbledygook is a fitting intro to my recap of tonight’s So You Think You Can Dance Top 8 telecast — seeing how the end-of-episode results made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Hold up now. Valerie and Jacque are two of Season 11’s final three women? The most adorable TV character since Teletubbies‘ Po got rejected by America? Jenna Dewan-Tatum loved errrrything — no “v,” no second “e,” no discretion whatsoever?
Color me crestfallen — with a side-order of anticipation that maybe next week, there’ll be a perfect storm of choreography, music, costuming and partnering...

So, this week, they had the first same-sex routine (not the first ever, but the first pre-finals) -- and it turned out to be an excellent one -- a hip hop Alex Wong danced with Twitch, and they also allowed the contestants to talk a bit about their inspirations for starting their dance careers, which I thought was nice. First on: Adechicke and Lauren dancing a hip hop choreographed by Dave Scott. First, Adechicke says he's inspired by Desmond Richardson, which excited me greatly because I love that man! Says he liked him because he's manly, nothing feminine about him, not to mention an excellent dancer. The routine: I thought it was pretty good. Adechicke doesn't completely blow me away for some reason (Lauren didn't either though), but I thought his form was excellent, he was really fun, had a...

Astronaut, Dave Scott, transmitted this message after landing on the moon as commander of the Apollo 15 crew: “Houston, as I stand out here in the wonders of the unknown...I sort of realize there’s a fundamental truth to our nature. Man must explore." Pretty awesome statement from one of the few people to have actually walked on the moon's surface. Too bad he didn't have a pair Pampa boots on up there when he said it. Luckily, the vbs.tv crew, finds themselves in no such predicament as they bring us their "Exploration" web series / Palladium Boots commercial. The series is part ad campaign for Palladium Boots and part travel adventure that, in typical Vbs style, explores the "hidden, underground and forgotten corners of the world's leading metropolises." The shoe company, owned by K-Swiss, is trying to brand itself as the maker of "hipster" boots for cool kids. Never...

Kona, Hawaii can return to its normal Island ways, as the 2009 Ford Ironman World Championships has closed the books for another year. Craig Alexander takes his second successive win and joins an elite group of three -- Dave Scott, Mark Allen and Tim DeBoom -- in an 8:20 finish. Chrissie Wellington continues her incredible dominance with a record breaking time of 8:54 breaking Paula Newby-Fraser's 17-year-old record of 8:55. Wellington becomes only the third woman to claim three individual crowns in successive years.

Though Janet Jackson had not performed the choreography from "Scream" since she and her brother Michael shot the video in 1995, it couldn't have been a more fitting tribute to him. Jackson talked about the making of that video along with how she prepared for the Video Music Awards in the half-hour special "The Making of Janet Jackson's Vma Tribute Performance," which aired Saturday (September 19), and re-airs Sunday at 12:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., and Tuesday at 7 p.m. on MTV.
According to Janet, "Scream" was a turning point for Michael, who used the video to express frustration over his legal troubles. " 'Scream,' there was so much going on at that time," Jackson recalled. "That's when the — I hate...

About four minutes into the tribute to Michael Jackson at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, Janet Jackson burst onstage to jam to "Scream," the duet they recorded together in 1995. It was the crowning moment in an all-star homage to Mj that included a dance number helmed by renowned choreographers.
If you enjoyed watching the tribute, Janet enjoyed performing just as much.
"This is the most fun -- from my mouth to God's ears -- the most fun I have ever had working on a project for TV," Janet told MTV.
But how did the whole tribute come together? On Saturday at 12:30 p.m., MTV will air "The Making of Janet Jackson's Vma Tribute Performance,...

It's hard to believe that all the action of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards can possibly be contained in just a few hours of prime time — especially considering that the first half hour alone will feature a hotly anticipated performance from Lady Gaga, another from Taylor Swift, a show-opening tribute to Michael Jackson featuring sister Janet Jackson, plus appearances from Eminem, Pete Wentz, Justin Bieber, Jack Black, Shakira, "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner and Kristin Cavallari.
A year after he needled the Jonas Brothers, Madonna and then-President George W. Bush, host Russell Brand has promised a kinder, gentler hosting stint for his second go 'round. This time, he says, it's all about the love — we'll see!
The action will take place at the historic Radio City Music Hall,...

Sunday night's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards got off to a glittering start thanks to the first family of the VMAs: the Jacksons. Janet Jackson helped lead a tribute to brother Michael, who died in June at the age of 50. And while the tribute to Jackson was previously announced, it opened with a huge surprise: a moving, nearly eight-minute speech by Madonna, who fondly recalled her first private meeting with Michael.
Walking onto the darkened stage wearing a conservative black jacket and skirt, a solemn Madonna told the crowd, "Michael Jackson was born in August 1958. So was I. Michael Jackson grew up in the suburbs of the Midwest. So did I. Michael Jackson had eight brothers and sisters. So do I. When Michael Jackson was 6, he...
