For me, John Wick was a successful film for three reasons: Interesting world-building, fantastic action choreography and Keanu Reeves. Regardless of how you feel about the man's films or abilities, there's no denying that he puts in the time to try and get it right. We've seen some weapons training with Keanu before, but this time around we have a new video courtesy of Aaron Cohen. Cohen... Read More...

The Chanels are almost back, idiot hookers!
Scream Queens Season 1 introduced us to so many memorable characters. In particular, each of the various Chanels, Denise Hemphill, and Chad Radwell were all consistent sources of brilliant one-liners and ridiculously hammy reaction shots. The series' screwball, zany brand of meta-horror was great, but it was really the hilarious characters (and their whipsmart dialogue) who got us into the show.
Unfortunately, this being Scream Queens, several of those characters kicked the bucket over the course of the first season.
While several of the deaths were not as exciting or memorable – either because we simply didn't care about the killed-off character or because the method of death wasn't particularly outlandish – there were more than a few that have remained engrained in our memories, nearly a full year later.
In honor of the return of Scream Queens, here's a look back at the 11 most iconic deaths throughout the first season!

Chicago – One of the greatest records in baseball, the total home run record held by Babe Ruth, was challenged by an unassuming ballplayer named Henry “Hank” Aaron in the early part of the 1970s. The quest to break that record was complicated because Aaron was a black man, and race in America again became an issue. The Smithsonian Channel chronicles that journey, as part of their new “Major League Legends” series, with “The Hammer of Hank Aaron,” premiering on February 29th, 2016.

Scream Queens, Season 1, Episode 3, “Chainsaw”
Written by Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk & Ian Brennan
Directed by Ian Brennan
Airs on Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
The farther Scream Queens moves away from its obsession with the horrendous Chanel Oberlin, the more appealing it becomes to watch as an entertaining gambit rather than just a scare factory. While Emma Roberts settles into the role more fully in the third hour, the lines she is given are still over the top and fail to create a character to root for or appreciate on any level, besides being an avatar for selfish consumerism and popularity addiction. The good news with Chanel is that many of her one-on-one scenes here are far funnier than they were in the first two hours, but the flip side of that is that many are retreads of things the show has already done; a showdown in the freezer...

Born Peter Ingvar Rolf Storm in Sweden in 1953, Stormare has quietly wooed audiences with his portrayals of psychopaths, sociopaths and other roles in which his unique brand of odd coolness is celebrated.
Currently filming “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” — the much-anticipated fairy tale (set 15 years after the initial incident at the gingerbread house) that stars Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner — Stormare is a Coen brothers go-to guy and is recognizable to recent-television gazers as Israeli security overlord Aaron Cohen on “Entourage” and mob boss John Abruzzi on “Prison Break.”
Which incarnation of the Swede is your favorite: German, Russian, Italian, Frenchman, Israeli?
With “Henry’s Crime,” in which he plays a dictatorial stage director, hitting theaters, Moving Pictures decided to go to the tape for our favorite Stormare roles. Let’s go to the (nihi)list, with apologies to Michael Bay’s “Bad Boys II,...

There is no new episode of 30 Rock tonight (we still miss you Kenneth!), but thanks to Aaron Cohen at Unlikely Words, you can relive some of the best Tracy Jordan moments from this season with Everything Tracy Jordan Said Season 4. Cohen wants you to know he didn’t just scan a 30 Rock script into his computer, but rather confronted the daunting task of re-watching every episode “just for you” (nice work if you can get it?). Unlikely Words has also honored other quotable characters, like Sawyer, Hurley and Locke from Lost, as well as the despicable yet dapper Don Draper from Mad Men.

Tila Tequila is going to be appearing on the next season of Celebrity Rehab for allegedly having an addition to snorting Ambien. And by "Ambien" she means "cocaine" and I'd be willing to bet there's some vodka-soaked tampons thrown into the mix too. (Yeeeah!)
One person not appearing on "Celebrity Rehab" will be David Hasselhoff, who recently almost drank himself to death again. Jesus. How does that dude even have any liver left? (Warming Glow)
Sex and the City 2 might have some blatant anti-Muslim themes, although if you ask me Muslims aren't the only ones who take umbrage with four dried-up old scantily-clad whores. (Film Drunk)
Now that Season Four of "30 Rock" has drawn to a close, here is another installment of Aaron Cohen's inspired "Everything Tracy Jordan Said on Season X of 30 Rock." (Unlikely Words)

Nicolas Cage apparently decides upon which animals he eats based on their sex life. If that were a completely unfounded rumor, I'd be like, "Yeah, I'll buy that." But no, he actually said it. Oh, and thanks to the smart and sexeh Bedhead for brilliantly filling in for me yesterday, as always, while I was out doing whatever it is that I do when I don't write Pajiba Love. (Agent Bedhead)
Ha Ha Ha! Here's a picture of sad panda Jay Leno getting his beat-ass antique Porsche towed away. I want to frame this and hang it on my wall. (Warming Glow)
