What’s the saying? Oh yeah… third times the charm and the Resident Evil series is no exception. For our third outing we’re here to explore the aftermath of the apocalypse with Resident Evil: Extinction (watch it Here). This one is pretty divisive with the consensus being some people, like myself, loved this film while others felt this was the beginning of the downward slope of sequels of the franchise. Hear me out as to why I sing its praises. For one, it tells a cohesive story and gives us a side of Alice that we’ve been dying to see. We get more new characters that bring gravitas to the story as well as a fully fleshed out villain and it’s a lot of fun. Plus, its pays homage to The Road Warrior in the best way. So, let’s hit up the Sand Dunes of Vegas,...

“John Tucker Must Die” is being resurrected.
The beloved high school rom-com that had a Shakespearean revenge premise is getting the delayed-sequel treatment, according to one the original film’s stars Arielle Kebbel. She’ll not just reprise her role of Carrie in this one, but also produce.
“John Tucker Must Die” centered around a philandering popular jock (Jesse Metcalfe) whose series of girlfriends devise a plan to turn the heartbreak tables around on him. Enter: Brittany Snow. The 2006 film also starred Sophia Bush, Penn Badgley, and the singer Ashanti. It was directed by Betty Thomas.
John Tucker, who definitely ain’t dead yet, may even get a redemption arc in this one.
“I’ve heard rumors of this script — there’s a script,” Metcalfe said earlier this week during a panel at Epic Cons Chicago (via E! Online). “Apparently, it’s amazing.”

One of the great things about the old broadcast TV model, in which seasons stretched to 20+ episodes, mere months separated one season from the next, and production schedules were thus unforgivingly demanding, was that producers always had an insatiable need for new talent. Filming 22 consecutive 42-minute episodes over the course of a few months? Your principals aren't going to be enough to cover all the ground your story will invariably traverse, and besides, they wouldn't have the time or energy even if you asked.

Hugh Grant Goes Candid About Playing Oompa Loompa In Upcoming Film Wonka! ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )
Hollywood star Hugh Grant will soon be seen as Oompa Loompa in Paul King’s Wonka, which features American-French actor Timothee Chalamet in the titular role. The musical fantasy chronicles the origin story of candy maker Willy Wonka, a character who was first introduced in 1964 by Roald Dahl in the children’s novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and has most famously been portrayed on-screen by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). In the 1971 film starring Wilder, the factory had many workers with orange skin and green hair; Grant’s appearance takes inspiration from the same in the upcoming film.

American rapper and singer Nicki Minaj makes her way to the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey, for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Rapper Nicki Minaj returned to host and perform at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards after co-hosting the 2022 ceremony with LL Cool J and Jack Harlow.
This year, the red carpet was painted pink in homage to the rapper and her Barbie-inspired preferred hue since the New York rap superstar handled hosting responsibilities alone.
Nicki also performed solo, even though her hosting duties this year were limited since so many other presenters and artists were competing for television time. She provided the fans a listen to her new tune, “Last Time I Saw You,” while wearing a cascading puffy black shawl.
Then Nicki gave a brief performance of a song off her new album, Pink Friday 2, which is scheduled to be released in November. In the unreleased song,...

Nelly and Ashanti have been given red-carpet approval because of her clutch. The 42-year-old singer Ashanti went out for the performance on Tuesday night, just hours after it was made public that she and Nelly were really back together. Along with PinkPantheress and Ice Spice, Ashanti was wearing a revealing dress and turtle top on the pink carpet.
Since 2009’s “Body on Me,” a lot has happened, but it appears like Ashanti and Nelly are back on. This is just one more instance of the ’00s making a comeback at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
It was a clue that the two were reconnecting after years of are-they-or-aren’t-they rumors when Ashanti walked on the pink carpet carrying a suitcase with her image and rapper Nelly’s emblazoned on it.
The two were rumored to have rekindled their relationship after a passionate performance when the photo was taken in 2013 when they first started dating.

The 2023 MTV VMAs were truly for the millennials. Between *Nsync's surprise reunion and Shakira's career-spanning performance, the ceremony on Sept. 12 was full of old-school moments that brought us back to the early aughts. (It helped that all of the stars practically look the same as they did 20 years ago.) The nostalgia revived an award show that's become a little stale in recent years, so here's to the talent bookers, who must be millennials themselves.
*Nsync kicked off the night, presenting the first award of the ceremony to Taylor Swift. Swift's reaction was all of us - she fangirled as she received the Moon Person from "their golden pop hands" and demanded to know if something bigger was in the works. Appearing between newer performers like Olivia Rodrigo and Doja Cat, subsequent presenters included Ashanti, Nelly and Timbaland, and Mary J. Blige. In honor of their achievement awards, Diddy...

Over his more than three decades in the industry, the performer has released two albums that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as well as five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
As well as receiving the Global Icon Award, Combs has been nominated for four categories in this year’s VMAs: twice Best...

There was a cipher going on outside the Hip-Hop 50 Live show at Yankee Stadium. One woman took the mic, intently closing her eyes while focusing on her next bar. As I walked away, she rhymed an improvisational derivative of recuperate, before spitting “that’s not even a word, I just be sayin’ shit.” The line set an apropos tone for the day. Hip-hop was bore out of rule-shirking and boundless imagination — and it made its way to “the house that Ruth built” to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Returning to hip-hop’s birthplace, classic rappers who pioneered the sound — as well as those who have proudly carried the rap torch — joined forces to honor the genre’s 50th birthday and celebrate its historic and global impact on pop culture.
It was only fitting that a venue as iconic as Bronx’s Yankee Stadium became the home for the eight-hour celebration, which included three dozen performers and nearly 50,000 audience members.
The universal love for rap was at the center of the night, and rappers like Nas and Snoop Dogg owned the night while also honoring those who came before them.
During his set, Nas brought out hip-hop founding father DJ Kool Herc and told the crowd: “This is our love. This is our bloodline.” Herc, 68, earned a standing ovation and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Kool G Rap also appeared onstage alongside Nas,...

Despite a mostly predictable batch of nominees at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, including big names like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus across the board, there were a number of unexpected moments from the announcement. Here are the top snubs and surprises.
Seevma nominations list: 2023 MTV Video Music Awards led by Taylor Swift and Sza
Snub: Little love for Ice Spice
Bronx rapper Ice Spice is inarguably the biggest breakout of the year, earning four top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 so far and collaborating with icons like Nicki Minaj and the aforementioned Taylor Swift. She has also had a great videography, from the colorful “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” or the fun “In Ha Mood.” As such, she could have received nominations in pop, collaboration, and hip hop, plus a couple of general categories. So it was surprising that she was only featured in two races: Best New Artist...

Taylor Swift is heading into the 2023 Video Music Awards poised to break her own record. With the nomination of “Anti-Hero” for Video of the Year, Swift may be the first artist to ever win the honor four times, beating the record she set just last year.
To date, Swift is the only artist to win MTV’s Video of the Year on three separate occasions. In 2022, she took home the honor for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” In 2015, she won for “Bad Blood (featuring Kendrick Lamar),” and in 2019 she won for “You Need to Calm Down.”
Video of the Year is far from the only nomination Swift received. The singer and songwriter was nominated in eight categories altogether, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Editing.
