'R.I.P.D.' Looks Like A Ghostbusting 'M.I.B.' - Watch The Trailer Here

April 18th, 2013 11:26am EDT
RIPD
The first trailer for R.I.P.D. (no, not the Rhode Island Police Department) has just surfaced, and boy, does it look cool.

The plot centers on Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds), a police officer killed in the line of duty. But instead of just dying and fading away, he is contacted by the other-worldly RIPD, or "Rest In Peace Department," because of his unique skills -- apparently good cops make for excellent ghost busters.

The RIPD is dedicated to keeping the living world filled with the living and making sure the dead stay dead.

Walker teams up with a former wild-west sheriff known as Roy Pul...

Ouch.

Actor Sam Claflin broke his hand on the set of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" during a rehearsal session, according to co-star Alan Ritchson. The break happened during the run through of a stunt scene while grappling with another performer.

"Sam got hurt the worst. He broke his hand doing a stunt... He broke it on the stunt guy, warming up. I was standing right next to him," Ritchson tells E! Online. "It was tough to watch... (He) took it like a champ - he took it and kept moving."

No news about the actual stunt being performed, but Richson did say that Claflin broke his hand ON...

Fallout Boy lead bassist and vocalist Pete Wentz denies allegations that he is getting ready for a custody war with ex-wife Ashley Simpson over their son, insisting that Simpson is not only an excellent singer, but also an "awesome" mother.

Ian McKellen Believed Margaret Thatcher's Gift To Him Was A Practical Joke

April 16th, 2013 11:48am EDT
Ian McKellen
Ian McKellen, best known for his part as Gandalf in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Magneto in the "X-Men" saga, recalls how he was convinced he was the unfortunate victim of a very unfunny practical joke when in 1991 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, on the recommendation of the most unlikely of people.

McKellen received word that he would be honored with the coveted British accolade in 1990, when he got a phone call from the British Ministry, and he was told that the beneficiary of the recommendation came from none other than former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, literally the d...

PSY Shows The Meaning of Chivalry In His Newest Music Video, 'Gentleman'

April 15th, 2013 2:15pm EDT
PSY
South Korean pop-idol PSY released the new music video for his latest single "Gentleman" over the weekend. Let's just say it has all the comedic spice that made "Gangnam Style" so fun to watch repeatedly, even if the song isn't quite as catchy. The song is good, probably better than most, but it just isn't as fun to listen to as it is to watch.

"Gentleman" features PSY in his trademark suit and glasses, doing all sorts of ungentlemanly things - pulling chairs out from underneath women, pushing papers off copiers and scanning his face instead, stealing soccer balls from small children, even...

Hugh Jackman
The star of the popular "X-Men" movies, Hugh Jackman, was attacked while pumping iron at his local gym on Saturday morning. Luckily, instead of fighting off Sabretooth or Magneto, the attacker was a crazed fan. The weapon of choice: an electric razor. The kicker? The razor was loaded with pubic hair.

Katherine Thurston approached Jackman and allegedly professed her love for him and threw her razor at him before running out of the complex. Thurston was caught shortly thereafter by local police and arrested. Jackman revealed later that Thurston has been stalking him and his family for some t...

Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Trump, daughter of "The Celebrity Apprentice" chief Donald Trump, has been telling close friends and family that she is pregnant with her second child. This should not come as a surprise, considering that she was quoted last month by Forbes that she would “love to have three children, maybe four."

Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, already have one child, Arabella Rose. Apparently, they are getting ready to welcome the new baby into their home this fall, giving their one-year-old a playmate.

Ivanka, heiress to the billion dollar Trump fortune, has been involved in the family ...
