Fans of the series will recognize that both "That gum you like is going to come back in style" and "damn good coffee" are well-known quotes from the series. The mysterious tweets have started up the rumor mill as fans wait to see whether these small words mean big things are in store. Twin Peaks has already been released on DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes and Amazon Prime.

San Francisco-based Fantex plots a trading exchange for real people, where shares of future revenue could give stars a big payday now; says one lawyer, "I can almost guarantee it's going to happen"




Is the world ready for a Tom Cruise IPO? How about trading shares of Melissa McCarthy for a piece of Ben Affleck?

It might not happen this year, but don't be surprised if one day soon, celebrity fandom mixes with market capitalism to produce stock offerings tied to the income of top-earning stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Bullock or Denzel Washington. According to Buck French, CEO of Fantex, Inc., his company certainly has such designs.

Fantex, based in San Francisco, is a recently launched trading exchange where investors can buy and sell interests in real-life people. So far, Fantex has focused on professional athletes, launching IPOs for San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis and Buffalo Bills quarterback E.J. Manuel. In September, Fantex announced its latest signing — Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who will be offering investors a 13 percent stake in his future income from playing contracts, endorsements and other activities related to football. In return, Jeffery will get most of the $7.94 million being raised from the stock offering up front.

In focusing first on athletes, Fantex is attempting to capitalize on the fervor around fantasy sports to give "owners" even more rooting interest. But French says he believes the same financial model holds "tremendous potential" for top actors and music superstars who have become brands in their own right and have projectable cash-flow streams to offer. For instance, if a star like Jennifer Lawrence decided to go public using the Fantex model, she would agree to sell Fantex a portion of her future income from acting, endorsements and appearance fees.In exchange for a big check up front, Fantex would collect her earnings, sell the shares to investors and decide when to pay out dividends. Lawrence would keep the authority to make her career choices, meaning the investors would never have a say in whether she returns for the next X-Men sequel.

Still, this prospect gathers mixed reactions in Hollywood.

Schuyler Moore, a film finance lawyer at Stroock, is optimistic at the idea of generating up-front cash for entertainers and establishing a new vehicle to leverage a star's fan base. "I can almost guarantee it's going to happen," he says. But there are skeptics, such as attorney Ken Hertz, whose clients include Will Smith and Britney Spears. "One problem is this: It creates a relationship with potentially thousands of strangers looking over your client's shoulder, curious about their personal and professional choices," he says. "All the waivers in the world can't make that a good idea."

Adelaide Kane Takes Us Behind the Scenes of Reign

"Queenie in the courtyard!"


Reign returns to the CW tonighted to the CW last thursday with Mary and Francis on the throne of a nation burning. Back in the real world, Aussie actress Adelaide Kane (who plays Mary, Queen of Scots) has less complicated matters to worry about: fulfilling an exclusive assignment for us at Glamour to capture all of those regal behind-the-scenes moments. Cats and croissants included.



"The King’s favorite reading spot..."


"So...Much...Makeup!"


"The main reason I'm late for set...Ranma the snuggle monster!"


"Anna Popplewell, a lovely lunching lady."


"Dance time with Caitlin."


"I fell into a burning ring of fire..." Ambient anti-plague braziers for the queens"



‘Reign’ Star Adelaide Kane on Francis’ Indiscretion: Casual Slap Across the Face Required




During interview for a new episode of TheWrap‘s “Drinking With the Stars,” Kane revealed that Mary will always try to do the right thing, but the fact that Francis (Toby Regbo) now has an illegitimate child with her lady-in-waiting Lola (Anna Popplewell) will be a source of tension for the newly-crowned rulers of France.

Kane also discussed what she calls the show's “stealth feminism,” by referring to the checklist which highlights gender bias in media.

“We pass the Bechdel test almost every week!” she cheered. “Not many shows can do that, not many movies can do that, full stop. We get a lot of flack for being, essentially, a costume melodrama — we're a little soapy and campy, which is okay, I love it — but I have to say we're like a stealth feminist show. We also have really healthy, normalized versions of female sexuality.”

Samuel L Jackson on Star Wars: 'I told Ewan McGregor we should audition'

Samuel L Jackson has dismissed suggestions that he will make a cameo appearance in Star Wars Episode VII.

The actor, who played Mace Windu in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and its follow-ups, has not had a call to reprise his role in the new trilogy.

Speaking on Alan Carr Chatty Man, Jackson said that he tried to persuade Mark Hamill and Ewan McGregor to audition with him after hearing news of the sequels.

On a potential cameo, he replied: "No, that's not true. It's a weird thing too, when I was in Secret Service, I had a big scene with Mark Hamill.

"He was in town, I was in town and Ewan McGregor was in town doing something, and I call Ewan to see if he wanted to go to dinner one night. They were holding Star Wars auditions, and I was like 'all 3 of us should go over there and see if we can get an audition', just to see if they'll know, you know? Nobody wanted to do it but me. But no, they haven't called me."

Hamill is returning as Luke Skywalker for the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel, but Ewan McGregor is not involved in the project.

Earlier this year, Jackson said that it would have been "interesting"to be cast in the new Star Wars movies. Alan Carr Chatty Man continues tonight (October 3) at 10pm on Channel 4.

Gerard Depardieu claims that he was a rent boy when he was 10 years old

Recently French actor Gerard Depardieu took time out of his busy schedule of drinking 14 bottles of wine a day and gaining Russian citizenship to avoid paying taxes in order to write an autobiography.

According to the DailyMail the book takes many dark turns including him recalling that as a toddler his mother would repeatedly recount how she tried aborting him with knitting needles.

Depardieu recalls that by the time he was ten years old he could pass for fifteen and he would wander the streets where he soon found that he was attractive to men. According to the DailyMail, the actor states 'I've known since I was very young that I please homosexuals' and added when men approached, asking for sex, 'I would ask them for money'.

Depardieu also claims to have helped a man rob graves, stealing jewelry and shoes from the recently deceased, served time in prison, and committed several crimes from picking students pockets to stealing a car.

The DailyMail continued, "When his children have complained about being associated with him he writes he has told them: 'What do you want? Change your name, for heaven's sake, if it bothers you.'"

However Depardieu's eldest child, Guillaume Depardieu, ended up following in his father's footsteps. Not only was he an actor but he also worked as a rent boy and served time for theft and drugs before dying of viral pneumonia in 2008.

Depardieu's book Ca s'est fait comme ça (It Happened Like This) released in France on October 2.

James Spader: the era of classic films has ended

$

Film has lost its status as a great, enduring art form superior to television, according to James Spader, the award-winning actor who has played a series of famous roles in independent cinema since the 1980s. "There is no legacy in film any more," he told the Observer this weekend. "I am not so sure that even classic films really live on now – and that means ultimately that maybe film is really an entertainment, or a provocation, just for a specific time."

The enigmatic star of sex, lies and videotape; the film of JG Ballard's Crash; and the disturbing Secretary – who is currently holding American audiences spellbound as the ruthless star of the violent thriller series The Blacklist – has called for more honesty about the transitory impact of even top-quality film entertainment.

Spader, 54, who recently appeared in the American version of the sitcom The Office, believes good and bad films, just like good and bad television, are both doomed to be forgotten by the next generation. "People don't have access to classic films," Spader said, "but it is worse than that. A few channels on television still play classic films, but with the closure of revival picture houses and the closure of video stores with classic film sections, there is no film heritage."

This does not mean that a film or a television show cannot be art, Spader argues, but neither should aspire to having any lasting impact. Acting on screen is ephemeral, like other forms of performance art, or else it is just commercial entertainment.

The film star, who first won recognition for unsettling performances in Pretty in Pink and Less Than Zero and had a much-admired comic cameo in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, is not giving up on film.

In January he is to appear alongside his former co-star Robert Downey Jnr as Ultron in the new addition to the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and he hopes to be able to carry on combining film, television and stage work.

As the son of teachers, Spader said he rarely watched television as a boy, but had an unusually good introduction to cinema. "I grew up on a boarding school campus and there was a guy there who ran a film club that was available to students on campus and to faculty children of a certain age. Every other week he would rent a print of a film and screen it. So I was able to watch a broad spectrum of films from different eras, from an English film like Hobson's Choice to a western like Hud. It was fantastic and completely informed my film-watching experience."

Sex on TV is getting better, and this is why it's a good thing.

‘‘I believe in the radical possibilities of pleasure, babe,’’ Kathleen Hanna of the band Bikini Kill snarled in a song with a title that is unprintable here. Her declaration applies to what Huffington Post critic Maureen Ryan describes as television’s ‘‘sexual revolution’’, a shift from a giddy, teenaged enthusiasm for showing naked body parts (mostly belonging to women) to a new creativity in depicting sex, particularly in a way that acknowledges that women like sex, too.

Declining to depict sex as it actually happens on screen, in favour of depicting it in a way that maximises the camera’s access to actors and actresses’ bodies, is not simply a matter of politics or equal opportunity lust. It means sacrificing characterisation and story to audience expectations, pulling us out of stories instead of luring us in. That some of the best shows currently airing on television are also among the frankest and thoughtful about sex is no accident.

On The Americans, showing us deep-cover KGB spies Philip and Elizabeth Jennings (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell) engaged in good old missionary position sex would not have done nearly as much to communicate the way their marriage shifted from a sham to a real union as a scene of them engaged in mutual oral sex did.

Similarly, the detailed, close-shot sex scenes on HBO gay romantic comedy Looking provided an actual reflection of the intimate lives of gay characters, who are often depicted as relatively chaste on television, and introduced straight ones to the details of sexuality between men. Watching the characters debate which acts are casual and which are deeply emotional helped give the first season of Looking a gratifying depth. That new candour about sex between men showed up in the premiere of ABC’s drama How To Get Away With Murder, too, though critics were so busy parsing other unusual elements of the show that it hardly merited attention.

And the deeply uncomfortable sex scenes on Lena Dunham’s Girls are striking not least because the sex does not look pleasant or pleasurable, but because of what they say about what Dunham’s characters are willing to endure for intimacy and how poorly those characters communicate with each other.

As Ryan wrote about the wedding and wedding-night episode in time-travel drama Outlander, which paired World War II nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) with 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan): ‘‘The whole act was amusingly devoid of cliche: no ’sexy’ camera angles, no golden light, no instant nirvana. Jamie wondered if they should do it like the horses in the fields; later, Claire stopped things at one point to tell him he was accidentally crushing her. It didn’t last long. It was awkward first-date sex, and it was achingly, amusingly real.’’

The choreography was also appropriate to the story. It would not have made sense for any new couple, much less an anxious virgin (Jamie) without the benefit of contemporary sex education and a decidedly un-contemporary value set and a woman (Claire) who is sexually liberated and experienced even by the standards of the 1940s, to have a seamless first time.

This new sexual revolution may mean that women’s bodies are on less dramatic aesthetic display on television. Maybe that is a loss for folks who tuned into The Sopranos in part because of the promise of scenes at the Bada Bing club. But if the current crop of excellent television is any indication, paying more attention to what women want from sex could be awfully good for men - and male characters - too.

With the finale of The Strain upon us, FX has released its latest behind-the-scenes featurette.

Based on the bestselling Dark Horse Comics series, visionary director Guillermo Del Toro, Corey Stoll (Ephraim Goodweather) and co-writer Chuck Hogan discuss The Master's Minions.

The Master has been around for centuries, but he couldn't have done it without some assistance. Eichorst (Sammel) has served the vampiric overlord since World War II.

Del Toro describes billionaire Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde) in the video as "The third richest man in the world, who is really an ancient guy. He knows he has very little time to live. He makes an unholy alliance, in order to gain more life."

With Palmer making a deal with The Master, what will be the price on his head for destroying humanity?

Stoll explains in the video what makes The Master such a deadly adversary: "This story has more than just one bad guy. Everybody he turns into a vampire is scary and dangerous."





In the trailer for the season finale, entitled 'The Master', Vasiliy Fet (Kevin Durand) and Eph find themselves lost in the vampire's nest. Though they have uncovered the coffin, Nora is actually fighting for her life against The Master. Will they be too late to save her?

'I will give him the benefit of the doubt. He's just too amazing... I'd be stupid... I'd be so dumb to divorce him right now and see him with another girl... I mean come on... he treats me like a queen.'



http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/10/kendra-wilkinson-hank-baskett-transsexual-cheating-divorce-extra-interview/


The reality star admitted in a new interview with Extra that she won’t divorce cheating hubby Hank Baskett — because he’s too good of a husband. Despite Wilkinson’s recent admissions that she believed Radar’s reports about his affair with a transsexual, the reality star told Extra host AJ Calloway that she won’t be divorcing him. “I do believe Hank and I will survive this,” she said. “I will give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s just too amazing… I’d be stupid… I’d be so dumb to divorce him right now and see him with another girl… I mean come on… he treats me like a queen.”

The statements echoed comments she made earlier this week to Giuliana Rancic. “[Hank] deserves forgiveness,” she said. “I’m willing to spend the rest of my life to figure this out rather than spending one night single without Hank in my life.” As Radar has reported, transsexual model Ava Sabrina London accused Baskett of having a sex romp with her in Sherman Oaks back in April. London passed a polygraph over the matter.

And just for good measure, here's a flashback to Sabrina London's story:


“We quickly went to my bedroom where things got a little hot because he had already had taken off his clothes and he was erected,” “I started giving him a hand job and he was playing with my penis ‘cause he was laying down and I was like, you know, above him, so that’s when I realized who he was.” “He put my penis close to his face and that’s when he, you know, he came really quickly,” she alleged. “Hank and I gave each other hand jobs and he played with my breasts. And it didn’t really go that much further because he had already come.”

The Knick: André Holland gives another thoughtful interview

André Holland drives Friday night Cinemax drama
By ROBERT RORKE

Holland, a compact man wearing a stylish gray suit and a blue shirt, confesses that the intricate surgical scenes on “The Knick” are sometimes rehearsed a day before they’re filmed. The actors practice operating on elaborate prostheses before they are fitted onto the actors undergoing the knife. In one scene, they had to perform an emergency C-section. The results were gruesome.

“We rehearsed those scenes the day before and spent a couple of hours just figuring out what the movements were,” Holland says. “The instruments have to be in a certain place. Where everyone stands around the table had to be rehearsed. And then on the day of the [scene], we showed up and the blood starts flowing. All of our preparation went out the window at that point.”

More difficult than handling these technical challenges is registering the internal combustion Algernon feels — but never voices — when white doctors and patients hurl ugly racist insults. The scenes were reminiscent of his childhood in Shades Valley, Ala., a small town outside Birmingham where he grew up the middle of three children.

“There’s a lot of emotional residue that [those scenes] have, just having grown up in the South,” Holland says. “Getting called the things I get called on the show. And doing those scenes over and over again. It gets in there. It does have an impact.”

Fortunately, Holland had a role model in his mother, Mary, a civil rights activist who was marching in downtown Birmingham while still in high school. Her experience provided inspiration when, shortly after finishing filming “The Knick,” he was cast as Martin Luther King Jr.’s right-hand man, Andrew Young, in the movie “Selma,” which debuts on Christmas. Call it his second lucky break.

“Playing Algernon and Andrew Young just cracked open all this personal family history for me,” he says. “So in addition to learning the American history portion of it, I’m learning family history. It really touched me.”

"On Saturday evening, Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Bruce Jenner, 64, showed off his fabulous new layered hairstyle, as he arrived at Elton John's concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles."




http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2781358/Bruce-Jenner-shows-new-shiny-layered-hairdo-Elton-John-s-concert-Hollywood.html


It was clear that Bruce has been using a good conditioner, as his lustrous locks shimmered, displaying a lot of volume as he left the event. The gang were seen amongst a crowd of other concert-goers, with former Olympian Bruce looking like he'd indulged in some grooming for the outing. Instead of his go-to ensemble of polo-shirt and shorts, the reality star donned a youthful checked shirt on top of blue jeans. His hair looked in much better condition than it has of late, with the coppery frizz seemingly banished and in it's place a smooth mop of brown hair.

James Franco and Seth Rogen aren't waiting to get hacked in order to share nude photos.


The longtime friends and collaborators pose side by side wearing only messenger bags in a photo Franco posted on Instagram on Friday.

"Boom boom, NAKED and Afraid," the 36-year-old "Spring Breakers" star captioned the image, which blurs out their privates.

It's obviously a teaser for their next project, although it's not exactly clear what it will be.

However, "Naked and Afraid," as Franco wrote in all of the captions, is a docudrama series on the Discovery Channel that follows individuals forced to survive on their own without food, water or clothing.

As the 32-year-old "Neighbors" star and Franco have done several times in the past -- remember their spoof on Kanye West's "Bound 2" music video, starring Rogen as Kim Kardashian? -- the comedic duo may just be at it again.

Leighton Meester may not have shared much of her private life since secretly marrying Adam Brody in February - but she's over the moon with her life now.

The former Gossip Girl star is refusing to give much away about married life, but has admitted those close to her are her main priorities now.

"My values have shifted greatly in terms of what I find important," she said in the November issue of InStyle magazine. "It's my family, my friends and having a personal life. Those are the things that need nurturing."

The hotties - who co-starred in 2011 romantic-comedy The Oranges - went public with their relationship in February 2013, and began planning their nuptials after The OC actor popped the question in November 2013.

Adam, most famous as character Seth Cohen, and Leighton, of Blair Waldorf fame from hit TV show Gossip Girl, rarely make public appearances and haven't been spotted a whole lot together since that "intimate, secret" wedding in February.

Step Aside Long Island Medium! There's A New Ghost-Buster In Town Coming For Your Throne!

Some people believe in angels, some do not. Likewise, some people believe in mediums, some do not. Rosie Cepero believes in both. Why? Because she claims to be a medium, speaking to the angels who have messages for people she encounters in her day-to-day life. Sometimes it is strangers, sometimes a friend, sometimes she may even speak with an angel around a family member.

In the TLC hit series, ANGELS AMONG US, Rosie gives viewers a chance to decide: Do you believe in angels? Do you believe in mediums? Do you believe Rosie Cepero herself is a medium?

Rosie claims she began communicating with angels as early as three years old, when she was still in her crib. The gift she was given, she says, is not the only one in her family, either. Her maternal side has numerous “spiritually gifted” women, including her mother.

Today, she is at peace with her gift, and sees it that way, but does acknowledge that, at times, it does have a downside. While she is glad she can help people, other times messages—or lack of a message—can be less than fulfilling for an expectant subject/client.

Headline signs Twilight fanfiction from UK school teacher



Headline has signed a deal for a trilogy by a British school teacher, which originally started as Twilight fanfiction.

Kate Byrne at Headline bought Sophie Jackson’s Pound of Flesh from Lorella Belli at the Lorella Belli Literary Agency.

Belli has also sold the Pound of Flesh at auction to Simon & Schuster in the US and J’Ai Lu in France, and it was pre-empted by RCS Libri in Italy and attracted five-figure deals in Germany and Spain. Audible has bought audio rights.

Pound of Flesh was originally published on fanfiction website fanfiction.net, and has been read 4m times and reviewed 22,000 times.

Set in Brooklyn in the present day, Pound of Flesh is described as “a tale of loyalty, love and redemption against the back drop of a seemingly impossible situation”, and features a prison tutor, Kat, and her student, Carter.

Byrne said: “A Pound of Flesh is an extraordinary book, packing an emotional punch on so many levels, beginning as the ultimate forbidden love story with an irresistible bad boy hero and a feisty, complex heroine, drawn together by a secret which connects them in ways they cannot foresee.

“I, and the whole Headline Eternal team, were blown away by Sophie’s innate storytelling ability, her remarkably authentic American voice and the intensity of emotion, passion and true love she brings so vividly to life.”

Belli said: “Sophie has created characters and a romance that haunts you long after you put the book down. It is a story that simply connects with people and proves utterly addictive - a collision of touching coming-of-age story, moral dilemmas, great plot twists, hot sex scenes and revenge, it will appeal to readers of New Adult fiction as well as of those of contemporary women’s fiction.”

The first book in the trilogy will be published simultaneously in the UK and the US in summer 2015.

'Mulaney' Scores the Lowest Series Premiere Ratings This Fall

John Mulaney's new Fox sitcom premiered last night, and unfortunately the overnight ratings are just as bad as the reviews. According to Variety, the series premiere drew the lowest score of every fall series premiere this year with just 2.3 million viewers — just over 50% of its Family Guy-lead in, which itself was down 50% from last week's Simpsons/Family Guy crossover premiere. Compared to Mulaney, Fox's other comedies did notably better and at least broke the 3 million mark — The Simpsons (4.1M), Bob's Burgers (3.2M), Family Guy (3.7M), and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (3.3M) — so hopefully Mulaney finds a way to rebound next week before getting canceled despite its 16-episode order by Fox.
