The biggest and most memorable event of 1963 was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, its 50th anniversary will be marked on November 22. The civil rights movement was in full swing as Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I have a dream" speech and the Vietnam conflict had begun. Gas was 29 cents a gallon and the average cost for a new home was $12,560.

Also that year, the Beatles released their first album 'Please Please Me.' Notable films released in 1963 were The Great Escape, From Russia with Love, The Birds, Cleopatra and The Pink Panther. Popular TV shows included, The A...

With the glorious "Haywire" hitting theaters today, it seemed only fitting to further shout the sweetness of Soderbergh...welcome to Forgotten Friday Flick! Yes, "sex, lies, and videotape" was game changing and "Traffic" was ever so dramatic, but there’s one film that seems to take the backburner on the Soderbergh stove, so we’re gonna turn up the heat! It’s his fourth and most savvy flick about a guy coming home to settle some old business. (And yes, sex and violence ensue!) We’re talking about the highly underrated 1995 little noir ditty..."The Underneath."

Who would you rather watch in a movie about babysitting: a 1980s Elisabeth Shue or an overweight Jonah Hill? Let’s be honest, you’d probably pick Elisabeth Shue. And no, this argument is NOT based on looks. If you’ve seen his nuanced performances in “Cyrus” or “Moneyball,” then you’ll agree that Hill has outgrown crappy films like David Gordon Green’s “The Sitter,” regardless of former weight.

In an age of reboots and remakes, plenty of Hollywood scribes try to slyly spin an established idea or genre, by marketing it as new. However, rarely do they bring anything worthwhile ...

Actress Marg Helgenberger fought back tears during a TV interview this week as she talked about leaving hit crime show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Jennifer Lawrence, who turned 21 yesterday, is on her way to becoming Hollywood elite. Not sure who she is? She jumped onto the Tinseltown radar in the film "Winter's Bone" (2010).

In the film, Ozark teen Ree Dolly (Lawrence) breaks the local code of conduct by confronting her kin about their conspiracy of silence after her home is in danger of being repossessed when her meth-cooking dad skips bail and disappears.

The film earned Jennifer an Academy Award nomination. She became the second youngest Oscar nominee for best actress in a leading role.

We spotted Elisabeth Shue in action at the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic, held at South Beach, Miami, over the weekend.

The sweaty star appeared to be having a great time, although we think her skirt may have been a little too short, revealing a little too much cellulite (see the final photo below).

Shue recently starred in the spoof film "Piranha 3D." She has several films in production, including "Janie Jones" about a young girl who has been abandoned by her former-groupie mother and informs a fading rock star that she is his daughter.

Fox Soccer Channel’s series Soccer Talk Live is a new go-to destination for the sport, and it’s not just for athletes. Host Kyle Martino interviews athletes and celebrity soccer fans like Elisabeth Shue and Susan Sarandon. Now he’s gunning for more of Hollywood’s secret soccer enthusiasts.

“The lead singer of Weezer is an enormous soccer fan as well,” Martino said. “Drew Carey who’s a friend of mine who’s a big soccer fan who’s a part owner in the Seattle team. It would be great to get some of the high profile celebrities in Hollywood that we know are big soccer fans. Tom Cruise obviously ...

The movie bosses behind "Piranha 3D" are so thrilled with the new disaster film's opening weekend success at the box office, they're already starting work on a sequel.

The movie, featuring British beauty Kelly Brook, Elisabeth Shue and Jerry O'Connell, made $10 million at the box office over the weekend and finished up just outside the top five films.

But movie executives at Dimension Films didn't need to see the figures - rave reviews prompted them to press on with a sequel.

Producer Mark Canton says, "We are thrilled that audiences are not just loving 'Piranha 3D,' but cheering for it....

"There are only two ways to injure your neck: A car accident and cunnilingus." ~ Larry David

If the above sentence were the only words spoken during "Office Krupke", the eighth episode of this season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", the would have been enough to make it a classic. Fortunately, Larry David saw it fit enough to build an entire half-an-hour around those fourteen words.

Okay, so it wasn't all built around that. The action of the episode was mostly built around two pairs of pants: the pair Larry kind of stole from a Santa Monica Banana Republic and the pair of panties Susie fo...

(HollywoodChicago.com) – Steve Coogan is a British comedy icon. Forging a career from creating an array of characters, though, he’s not as well known in America (except to BBC cultists).

He brings this talent for characterization to the lead role of an American high school drama teacher in the new film “Hamlet 2”. Coogan adds some peculiar quirks to the depiction of the clueless soul who seemingly will do anything to project his dramatic “vision”.

A world premiere at-– and the comedy smash of-– the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Written by Andrew Fleming and Pam Brady ("South Park," "Team America"), Hamlet 2 stars Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, Amy Poehler, David Arquette and Elisabeth Shue. Hamlet 2 opens August 22 in select cities and August 29 nationwide.

There's nothing better - or more intimidating - than someone with a combination of good looks, lots of money, unbridled talent and intelligence. It's easier to make fun of people like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, who might possess a few of the aforementioned assets but who are one short of a perfect combination.

But some celebs have it all. Beauty, money, power and an impressive academic pedigree. So here is Starpulse's list of the most erudite celebrities, and some might come as quite a surprise. (Conan O'Brien went to Harvard?)

Sixteen years ago we were first introduced to Melrose Place, an innocent (at least it started that way) spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210 that took place in a West Hollywood apartment complex. I know as an 8-year-old boy I was excited to see what the lives of 20-something people would be like. I assumed lots of swimming and talking about art. I was wrong, so very very wrong. Seeing as the show ended its run almost 10 years ago we should look back and see just where those over-sexed and off-kilter roommates have gone. Now I can relate to what the show was about!

Movie-maker Davis Guggenheim is reluctant to work with wife Elisabeth Shue again after a bitter-sweet experience on the set of new movie Gracie. The Academy-award winning producer says he enjoyed working with his wife on the soccer-based movie - but once is enough.

He tells New York Daily News, "It was horrible and wonderful at the same time.

"She questioned me all the time. That's what I love about her. She doesn't take s**t from anybody. Next time, I'm going to work with actors that respect me."

Bruce Springsteen allowed the filmmakers of family soccer film Gracie to use his tune Growing Up for a pivotal scene - because he's a secret fan of the sport. Director Davis Guggenheim, a lifelong Springsteen fan, approached the rocker with a view to using the song in the film, which is set in The Boss' native New Jersey.

He was thrilled when Springsteen agreed - because the director had already put the touching song in the film's rough cut. Guggenheim, who is married to the movie's star Elisabeth Shue, says, "I've been to maybe 10 Bruce Springsteen concerts and never believed we woul...

Elisabeth Shue's foul-mouthed rant in cult movie Adventures In Babysitting came back to haunt her when her three-year-old son adopted the line as his personal mantra. The star's dad warned Shue about the impact the line "Don't f- with the babysitter" would have on young kids, but she chose to ignore him.

She recalls, "My father wrote me a three-page letter telling me why I could not say that word because then kids would think it was OK to say it. I said, 'Oh God dad, that's never going to happen.'"

But his words proved to be wise when the actress showed the film to her young son...

She says, "The shock of him dying, it never really goes away. I did not know how meaningful he was in my life until he was gone. It (Gracie) was the first time I was telling a story that really meant something to me. I think that is incredibly...
