After “American Idol” judge Katy Perry won the “Judges’ Song Contest” episode of Season 22 over Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, she had to decide whether to save either Kaibrienne “Kb” Richins or McKenna Faith Breinholt — both of whom placed in the bottom of the Top 8. (Read our minute-by-minute recap.) Ultimately, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer chose to keep McKenna in the ABC competition. That resulted in “Kb” being the latest person eliminated from “American Idol” — womp, womp.
Throughout the competition, Kaibrienne belted out tunes like “Something in the Orange” (Auditions round), “Simple Man” (Showstopper round), “Heaven” (Top 24 round), “girl i am now”, “Zombie”, “I Hate Myself for Loving You” (Top 14 round), “Wrecking Ball” (Top 12 round), “Here Without You” (Top 10 round) and “traitor” (Top 8 round). The 20-year-old B&b Host from Henefer, Ut had her fair share of fans, but in the end, their numbers weren’t strong enough to advance...

The Monday, April 22 live episode of “American Idol” Season 22 proved to be the end of the road for two fan-fave singers: Jayna Elise and Roman Collins. They were the only artists in the Top 12 that failed to earn enough votes from viewers to make it into next week’s all-important Top 10. Host Ryan Seacrest delivered the unfortunate news in front of judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. The guest mentor for “Billboard #1 Hits” night was Meghan Trainor.
Throughout the competition, Jayna sang tunes like “The Climb” (Auditions round), “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” (Showstopper round), “Confident” (Top 24 round), “My All”, “All I Wanted”, “I Have Nothing” (Top 14 round) and “Diamonds” (Top 12 round). The 22-year-old performer from Washington, D.C. actually began her journey last year on “Idol,” but was eliminated prior to the Season 21 live shows. The good news is that she made it much further this time around.

The first live coast-to-coast episode of “American Idol” Season 22 aired on Sunday, April 21 on ABC, with the Top 14 contestants performing in front of host Ryan Seacrest, judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, and guest mentor Gene Simmons. Viewers all across the nation voted 19.9 million times throughout the two-hour episode, which had a theme of “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” and the Top 12 artists made it to the next round. In the end, the two singers who were eliminated were Nya and Jordan Anthony.
Throughout the competition, Nya sang tunes like “Wait a Minute!” (Auditions round), “Get Ready” (Showstopper round), “The Best” (Top 24 round), “Georgia on My Mind”, “Water” and “I Say a Little Prayer” (Top 14 round). The 28-year-old Broadway performer from Manhattan, New York was an early favorite on the show, but the judges had to save her last week when she placed in the bottom — never a good sign.

In the "Star Trek" episode "Metamorphosis", guest character Commissioner Nancy Hedford (Elinor Donahue) is taking a break from a vital diplomatic mission to be treated for a rare and potentially fatal condition on board the Enterprise. Her shuttle is attacked, however, by a mysterious energy blob, causing it to crash on a nearby — and presumably uninhabited — planet. Inexplicably, Hedford, Captain Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are greeted by a man named Zefram Cochrane (Glenn Corbett), the inventor of warp engines who had disappeared a century earlier. By "Star Trek" lore, Zefram Cochrane flew out into space as a very old man and never returned.
This Cochran, however, is young and vibrant here. It seems that the blob of energy — a blob Cochrane calls the Companion — is alive and lives on this world. The being is powerful enough to keep Cochrane young, and has kind...

Former kids TV producer Dan Schneider says he has no problem censoring Nickelodeon cult classics he created in the 1990s and 2000s that now may offend viewers.
“All these jokes that you’re speaking of that [Quiet on Set] covered over the past two nights, every one of those jokes was written for a kid audience, because kids thought they were funny, and only funny,” Schneider said of lines he wrote for Nickelodeon shows like The Amanda Show, Victorious and Zoey 101, and which are now being criticized by offended fans on YouTube and social media platforms for having allegedly sexualized young actors.
His comments came as part of a March 19 apology video he released following the two-night docuseries, Investigation Discovery’s Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which probed toxic environment claims on sets run by Schneider. The former Nickelodeon producer created hit programs for the network like All That,...

Alan Ruck has been playing the role of Connor Roy in HBO’s “Succession” and getting his due credit. However, it all began for him with 1986’s all-time classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.

He reluctantly got dragged along on Ferris’ epic adventure, stealing his dad’s Ferrari and causing delightful mayhem throughout Chicago.

John Hughes’ 1986 classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off holds a revered place in cinematic history, cherished for its timeless charm and witty humor despite originating from the sitcom genre. However, the prospect of a spin-off film, tentatively titled Sam and Victor’s Day Off, has thrust the beloved original into the spotlight once more.
With Paramount Pictures at the helm, David Katzenberg is set to direct the anticipated follow-up.
Ferris Bueler’s Day Off
Yet, the reaction from die-hard fans of the original has been less than enthusiastic, casting doubt on the spin-off’s potential success. Critics argue that the decision to create a spinoff movie is motivated purely by financial gain rather than artistic integrity.
The sentiment among fans underscores apprehension that the spin-off could veer into the realm of disappointment, failing to capture the essence that made the original a cult classic.

Gulzar’s previous films include “Talvar” (2015), starring Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, and “Raazi” (2018), headlined by Alia Bhatt, both of which were critical and commercial successes and “Chhapaak” (2020), featuring Deepika Padukone as an acid attack victim.

Florence + The Machine are back with their rendition of “White Cliffs of Dover,” the first single from Jack Antonoff’s official soundtrack for the forthcoming Apple TV+ series The New Look.
The New Look centers around Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn), Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche), and their contemporaries as they navigate the fashion industry in a post-World War II climate. And so it makes sense for Florence Welch and company to put their own spin on “White Cliffs of Dover,” a 1941 song made famous by Vera Lynn to boost morale amid a war-torn Britain.
Produced by Antonoff, The New Look soundtrack comprises mid-twentieth century songs covered by contemporary artists including Lana Del Rey, The 1975, Nick Cave, Beabadoobee, and, of course, Antonoff’s Bleachers. See the full tracklist and stream Florence + The Machine’s version of “White Cliffs of Dover” below.

If there’s another season of the Frasier revival, Kelsey Grammer already has two names from Cheers he’d like to see appear. Shelley Long starred as Diane on both Cheers and appeared during the original run of Frasier; she was a love interest for both Grammer’s Frasier and Ted Danson‘s Sam. And both Long and Danson are people Grammer has thoughts on reprising their roles for his series on Paramount+. “The relationship with Diane is something that still gnaws at him a little bit because he felt like he failed at it,” Grammer told Deadline. “It would be nice if they acknowledge one another… ‘I’m glad you did ok.’ Have her do the same thing.” But what matters most for Grammer when it comes to these returns is that it makes sense to the story they’re telling.

Dunki, led by Shah Rukh Khan, is pacing up as it nears the big release. Directed by Rajkumari Hirani, the film also stars Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu, and Boman Irani. With only two days to go, the comedy-drama has witnessed a big jump in its advance bookings at the box office. Scroll below for all the details!
Till yesterday, the Srk starrer had added pre-booking sales of 4.50 crores gross to its kitty. Many might think this is very low compared to the earnings of his 2023 blockbusters, Pathaan and Jawan, during the same duration. But considering the varied genres of the film, a comparison would not be fair as action films tend to attract more footfall.

The wait is going to finish soon as we’re just days away from Salaar’s arrival. Starring Prabhas in the lead role, the film is high on action and emotional quotient and is expected to work well with the masses. The advance booking for this biggie is yet to commence and considering the festive season of Christmas, it is expected to rake in huge numbers in pre-sales at the Indian box office.
A day before the release of this upcoming action film, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki will be arriving at the Indian box office, so there’s a tussle between the two biggies for screen count. As of now, no final solution has come regarding the division of screens, so pre-sales have not started yet. However, it is expected to commence in a couple of days.

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, whose recent release ‘Animal’ starring Ranbir Kapoor in titular role is roaring at the box-office, has penned a long note on her social media describing her character of Gitanjali from the film.
While the film has been performing exceptionally well in theatres, it has also drawn flak for its misogynistic themes and the portrayal of its women, who have very less to do in the film which is essentially high on the testosterone.
While Rashmika said that certain actions of her character are questionable, she paid an ode to the character as she highlighted the importance of her character in the film.
Taking to her Instagram, the actress shared a few pictures from the film as she wrote in the caption, “Gitanjali. If I were to describe her in a sentence …it would be the only force at home holding her family together. She is pure, real,...

Ellen Holly, the first Black person to star in a soap opera with her lead role on One Life to Live, died Wednesday at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, N.Y. She was 92 and died in her sleep.
Her first roles on television included appearances on The Big Story (1957), The Defenders (1963), Sam Benedict (1963), Dr. Kildare (1964) and The Doctors and the Nurses (1963 and 1964).
Holly played the groundbreaking character Carla Gray on the hit ABC show One Life to Live from 1968 to 1980 and 1983 to 1985.

Holly was born on January 16, 1931, in Manhattan to parents William Garnet Holly, a chemical engineer, and Grayce Holly, a housewife and writer.

Animal Box Office Collection: Ranbir Kapoor Eyes To Axe Jawan For Day 3, Sunday With 80+ Crore? ( Photo Credit – YouTube; IMDb )
Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal Box Office has been on a rampage. While the film registered a box office collection of 63.80 crore on the opening day, it took a jump and collected 67.27 crore on day 2, bringing the two-day total to a whopping 131.07 crore. The film broke many records on day 1, and on day 2, it continues the record-breaking spree!
Ranbir Kapoor entered the top 10 list for the highest single-day for Bollywood films (all languages) on the first day itself. Now, with the second day performing bigger and better, it obviously claimed another spot, pushing War 2 out of the top 10 list.
Interestingly, while Ranbir Kapoor surpassed Tiger 3, Pathaan, and Gadar’s numbers on day 1, it now might eye the top claimer Jawan with an 80+ crore collection on day 3. Animal’s third day is expected to be huge,...

Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 box office collection has been an interesting case study for those who love to observe collections of films. Yes, it has crossed the 280 crore mark at the box office, but it won’t be entering the 300 crore club owing to the massive hysteria created by Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal.
Another little film that has gone majorly unnoticed by many amidst the Tiger 3, Animal, Sam Bahadur euphoria is Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Vikrant Massey’s earnest attempt in 12th Fail. The film has surely surprised everyone by emerging as a hit product at the box office, but still, there are many who are not aware of this beautiful little hidden gem.

With Sam Bahadur Box Office & Animal Box Office Collection Day 1, Ranbir Kapoor & Vicky Kaushal Achieved A Rare Feat. ( Photo Credit – YouTube )
Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal have clashed with Animal and Sam Bahadur on December 1. The results of this clash were obvious – Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film collected 63.80 crore on the first day of its release. On the other hand, Meghna Gulzar’s war drama registered 6.25 crore on day 1.
However, both the superstars just created a box office trivia of sorts with the first-day collection of this clash. To offer a little context, interestingly, the first film of both of these stars’ careers had to face clashes! Ranbir Kapoor made his debut with Saawariya in 2007.
Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Saawariya clashed with Om Shanti Om at the box office. This was a superstar clash. Ranbir Kapoor collected 3 crore on the first day, and the film earned only 23.67 crore at the Box Office in total.

New Delhi, Nov 27 (Ians) National crush Vicky Kaushal, whose playlist is usually full of Punjabi music, has revealed that currently the song “Banda” from his upcoming film “Sam Bahadur” is on loop and doing sets in the gym.
Asked Vicky what’s the latest song he is jamming to, to which ‘Sam Bahadur’ director Meghna Gulzar gave an instant reply before the actor could say anything.
“‘Banda. I won’t let you say anything else. Even if you try thinking about a song but I would keep repeating this,” said the acclaimed filmmaker with a laugh.
Vicky then shared with Ians: “It’s Banda. Currently, for real it is ‘Banda’. Humaari film ka gaana hai. But genuinely not saying for the promotion of the film. But I am literally listening to that song in the gym on loop and doing sets.”
The star then said it’s currently his favourite and revealed the reason why.

Director Meghna Gulzar is leaving no stone unturned to ensure maximum historical authenticity for her upcoming biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’. Recreating an iconic picture of him standing with Gorkha soldiers, she went to great lengths just to create that specific shot and got teary-eyed when it happened successfully.
The photo is an iconic one and it is from the third India-Pakistan war which saw the Indian Armed Forces emerging fully victorious against their war with Pakistan.
This led to the separation of the erstwhile East Pakistan and resulted in the creation of what is now called People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
Belonging to Gorkha regiment, Sam Manekshaw was very well acquainted with them and the iconic photo was taken during the war. It is believed that he was instructing the troops to prevent harassment of any Bangladeshi refugee as an order, request, and motivation.

Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’ has dropped a behind-the-scenes (BTS) montage of how the movie was shot. In the clip, the actor revealed that the film was perhaps his most meticulously shot film to date, as he never had to go through so many look-tests just to see whether the face, uniform, and medals have been accurately portrayed.
Shot with actual military personnel, the ‘Sardar Udham’ actor was seen going out of an actual cantonment in Punjab before revealing that the idea for the film had been in the making since 2019.
“Meghna and I discussed ‘Sam Bahadur’ first in 2019 where we usually used to meet for 5-6 hours simply discussing the whole project, so I think that is what kick started the whole thing,” the actor said.

Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’ recently released its teaser which got heavy praise from audiences. The film is based on the legendary Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Many of the soldiers featured in the action scenes were in fact real life personnel in the Indian Army.
The ‘Sardar Udham’ star is essaying the roles of some of the most revered heroes of India, which even makes the roles themselves a harrowingly difficult task, given the weight of the subject matter and the reverence of the figure on hand.
Nonetheless, the actor was perfectly able to pull off the role of Sam Manekshaw, nailing it right from his posture to his overall demeanour, thus really helping to bring the iconic military figure to life.

New Delhi, Oct 13 (Ians) The teaser of the upcoming biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’, which stars Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal in the titular role of India’s legendary Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, was unveiled on Friday. The teaser lives up to the hype as the ‘Sardar Udham’ alum perfectly dons the look and mannerisms of India’s war hero.
The teaser shows a very high production quality, though mostly it focuses on Sam Manekshaw’s days as General in the Indian Army before his promotion to the rank of Field Marshal.
There are several shots which showcase the Indian Army’s fight with the Pakistani Army during all the wars from 1947 to 1971. In addition, there are snippets of Sam Manekshaw’s own time as a soldier during World War II, where he was part of the British Indian Army.

Note: As some commenters have pointed out, there was a computer game based on Big Trouble in Little China released back in 1987 for the Commodore 64, Zx Spectrum and Amstrad Cpc. Carpenter either didn’t realize/remember this (mostly likely), or he was inferring a console-based game inspired by the film. Either way, the film could certainly could use another adaptation.
Once again, it’s no secret that John Carpenter is a fan of video games. And one of his most beloved films in The Thing made for a pretty good romp in video game form. But Carpenter thinks that one of his other films would make for a good video game adaptation in Big Trouble in Little China.
In a chat with ComicBook.com talking about what other films he’s done that would make for a good video game, Carpenter mentions another of his collaborations with Kurt Russell in 1986’s...
