What is Emma Roberts’ relation to Julia Roberts Julia Roberts | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Emma Roberts actually shares a very close connection to the Oscar-winner. Her father is Julia’s brother Eric Roberts, who’s also a prolific actor himself. Both Roberts’ father and aunt inspired her to pursue an acting career. Roberts once recalled being on the set of her aunt’s Erin Brockovich film, and how that grew her passions even further.
“I’d run and hide in her makeup trailer and hear, ‘Where’s Emma? It’s time for bed! She has to go home,'” Roberts once recalled to Allure. “I remember it feeling like summer camp,...

As Thor tumbles head-over-feet through the infinite cosmos, summons thunder blasts and tries to erase the image of Hulk’s gargantuan – how did Tony Stark put it, zucchini(?) – from his mind, “Cosmic Marvel” continues to evolve as the studio’s most fascinating subgenre. It’s where McU mastermind Kevin Feige allows filmmakers the most freedom, thus far.
James Gunn busted the shackles of franchise conformity in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, and now we have Taika Waititi turning Thor: Ragnarok into one of his signature quirky comedies. That’s not to downplay any blockbuster action and intergalactic majesty – I mean, Jeff Goldblum in a golden robe for Ego’s sake – but Waititi embraces Chris Hemsworth’s inner funnyman Far more than Kenneth Branagh or Alan Taylor chose to accept. Although, maybe that was for a reason?

The Quake Champions tournament at QuakeCon 2017 was a hit, giving us one of the best Esports stories seen in a while! Two generations of Quake clashed this past weekend at Quake Champions tournament at Quakecon 2017 in Dallas, TX. Here is Zack's analysis and thoughts from a thrilling Championship Finale!
It was a story of old school vs new school as we saw a pro veteran with decades of experience go toe-to-toe with the new kid on the block in the final match of the Quake Champions tournament. A finale like this was bound to be a classic matchup on a bloody, plasma stained silver platter!
The young Quake Live competitor was 19-year-old Nikita “Clawz” Marchinsky. He was calm and collected as his fingers moved faster speeding bullets, while his expression was stone cold. Clawz faced off against Sander “Vo0" Kassjager, a veteran of the Quake scene playing since the Quake II days.

5 Star Wrestling dropped its name in the hat of UK wrestling promotions that are attempting to shake things up and make the British wrestling scene a bigger deal than it has been in many years. Airing a special show on Spike, with rumours of it going on to further regular shows in the future, 5 Star Wrestling presented us with Dominant Wresting: Dundee, a program that was promoted with the image of Scotland’s own Drew Galloway (formerly WWE’s Drew McIntyre) at the forefront. It was interesting and exciting to see a new special show in the UK, especially with the coverage to the ITV Wrestling Special on New Years Eve and the WWE produced UK Title Tournament from Blackpool a few weeks ago. Many eyes are on the UK right now when it comes to professional wrestling and this was another opportunity.

Happy Birthday Miranda Lambert!
In honor of country artist's 31st birthday on Monday, we celebrate by taking a look at our seven favorite things about her. From her moving performances to her amazing camping style, Miranda inspires us all.
1. Her Heart: She teared up while singing "Over You" to a 7-year-old fan with cancer, Brooke Hester, at her concert in Corpus Christi in Texas on Sept. 21. The country singer was so overcome with emotion that she couldn't finish the song.
Brooke's mom Jessica told the Today show about the moving moment. "It was very emotional and very special," Jessica said. "It just took my breath away when I looked up, and I got the chance to look at Miranda Lambert and thank her, as she was holding Brooke's hand, for her complete compassion that she was demonstrating to my daughter in front of all these people.

Welcome to the 138th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at none other than the splashiest venue, Madison Square Garden. What an amazing night of shiny pups, showy handlers, and some stellar announcing. I should state upfront that my only knowledge of dog shows comes from Best In Show, the Christopher Guest mock-umentary that now seems like much less of a mocku and more of a docu.
For some background, America’s Dog Show extended its standing as the second-longest continuously held sporting event in this country, a streak that began in 1877. This year’s event drew an entry of 2,845 dogs.

It's obvious to anyone who watches the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that competition is fierce. But could it be deadly? The owner of another competitor says that her dog's death might be the result of a deliberate poisoning at the prestigious show.
Cruz, a three-year-old Samoyed, died four days after his first Westminster competition, on Feb. 16. The dog had been competing in Colorado when he became ill and vomited blood. Cruz died later due to internal hemorrhaging, and the dog was cremated.
Now, however, his owner, Lynette Blue, and handler Robert Chaffin suspect that Cruz was actually poisoned at the Westminster Dog Show, according to a report from ABC News. The two cite the fact that Cruz had not been left alone at any time since the show and could not have come into contact with any poisons. Rat poison can cause the type of hemorrhaging that killed Cruz.

Nevada (Us), Oct 12 – In an interview published at Oprah.com, Oscar winner Hollywood star Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) says that she and her children were amazed by India. “Hazel said when she grows up, that’s where she’s going to live”.
Julia’s son Phinnaeus even shaved his head. “Hazel [also] wanted to shave her head, so I let her shave the back half of her head. They would chant, and they were just interested.” Roberts has three children from her current husband cinematographer Daniel Moder (Grand Champion)-five year old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and three year old Henry.
