Do you remember watching Face/Off and thinking, “If this movie didn’t have any slow-motion, it would be ten minutes long.” You get a similar, and far more aggravating, stretched-out feeling from Mafia II. The gangster video game is set in a lavishly designed postwar metropolis called Empire Bay: Think downtown Manhattan with San Francisco’s freeways,

The next time my favorite character—admittedly not a stiff competition—feels the urge to jump across the table and smack Tareq upside the head I just assume he go for it. The episode opened with the slurry conclusion of the Salahi feast. Tareq huffed and puffed about the supposed theft of his $90,000 car (dude totally

Former Heroes star Ali Larter appeared on last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and in case you haven’t read the gossip rags lately: She’s pregnant! But the big—and I mean, earth shattering!—news out of her interview last night wasn’t that she is packing but rather what (as in boy or girl!) she’s packing: “I

Here we go…69 days into the season and we’re less than a week away from crowning this summer’s Big Brother champion. I can honestly say that at this stage of the game I have no idea which of the remaining three Houseguests will take home the prize. The only thing we know for certain is

And now, boys and girls, a message from the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority. They would like to thank the Project Runway judges and contestants for repeating the phrase throw someone under the bus more times than the turnstiles at Times Square-42nd Street can count. Reminding viewers of the great invention that is public

Last night’s episode began with a fight between two people who have no reason to hate each other. It ended with a night-vision makeout sesh between two people who have every reason to hate each other. Angelina called her boy toy “Daddy.” Snooki’s man-bot called her “Mommy.” When Vinny heard that his girl-crush worked at

Don’t hold out for closure, Heroes fans: A key source on the canceled drama told EW that NBC is not moving forward with a movie that would wrap up the four-year series. After the Peacock announced the show’s cancellation last May, there was some talk about allowing creator Tim Kring to give fans one more chance to

It’s a strange week in the Big Brother house. Well, stranger than usual, I should say. Britney’s eviction yesterday means we didn’t say goodbye (or good riddance!) to anyone tonight. Instead, we saw the conclusion to the second part of the three-part HOH competition. You can read all the details about HOH part II, our

One of Big Brother 12‘s most fan-beloved players, Britney, bit the dust last night in an episode that saw Hayden, Enzo, and Lane become the season’s Final Three. It was a sad evening, complete with an emotional crying jag from the perky, sound bite-loving blonde, after it was revealed that the three remaining boys had

Movie blogs have been buzzing today with speculation that Jeremy Renner and Noomi Rapace might star in a gothic horror comedy called Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. The reports stemmed from an interview Renner gave to a Norwegian website in which he hinted that the movie was in the works. It’s certainly a cool idea:

We’ll soon be seeing a lot more of Christina Hendricks — and, even if that prospect doesn’t send your mind straight into the gutter, it’s bound to be a good thing, right? Hot off her recent Emmy nomination, the va-va-voomy Mad Men star has a growing pile of big-screen projects coming down the pike, starting with

The season 2 premiere of Glee is less than two weeks away, and although we’ve already seen a few teasers for the new school year, we know that the possibilities in Glee land are truly endless. So much so, that at Glee‘s Comic-Con panel in July, co-creator Ryan Murphy told the audience that there is

Keanu Reeves has been tapped to star in Generation Um…, an indie about a man (sad Reeves) and two friends who “live life on the fringe, immersed in sex, drugs, and indecision.” Malin Akerman is set to appear in CIA thriller The Numbers Station, which centers on a disgraced agent (Ethan Hawke) who must

The fall season doesn’t officially begin until Sept. 20, but the broadcast networks have already kicked off development for the following September. A number of hot projects have already hit the marketplace — a crime thriller and an Alcatraz drama from uber-producer J.J. Abrams, just to name two — but those scripts don’t seem nearly

Calm down, spoiler-averse PopWatchers. Though the news is all across the Internet, I know how some of you react to information like this, so I won’t reveal anything until after the jump. In this space, I’ll simply say that this morning, at New York Fashion Week’s new Lincoln Center location, 10 designers from the eighth

After a typically slow Labor Day weekend, the only major release for the first frame of the fall is Resident Evil: Apocal… I mean Extinc… I mean Afterlife. The durable zombie thriller franchise has some tricky competition — Machete, Takers, The Last Exorcism, and even The Expendables could sap some of its audience — but

Reading Dave Karger’s excellent analysis on how the awards race is shaping up so far, I started to think about how this could easily be the most exciting Oscars on the fashion front in recent memory. Overstatement? Consider this: Michelle Williams, who is responsible for one of my favorite Oscar gowns of all time, has

The Vampire Diaries returns tonight with its season 2 premiere (The CW, 8 p.m. ET). If you’re contemplating tuning in for the first time but worry you’ll be lost, read through our catch-up gallery, which has everything you need to know — plus a look ahead from executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. You

Milla Jovovich points a lot of firearms in this weekend’s zombie thriller four-quel Resident Evil: Afterlife. Let us count the ways: But which way is best? Let’s vote! Personally, I’m disappointed at the lack of a gatling gun and/or jet pack option, but that’s me. What’s your dream Milla-Jovovich-with-weaponry milieu? (Keep it clean, folks.)

With news that Stephen King’s enormously popular book series The Dark Tower will be coming to a big and small screen near you, we here at EW.com could not stop ourselves from reaching out to the bestselling author (and EW columnist) via email to get a few more answers about the highly-anticipated project. Here’s what

Late Night host Jimmy Fallon has made it clear he’s always up for a good drinking game. Particular beer pong — he’s challenged the likes of Betty White, Kate Hudson, and January Jones to the staple college party game. But last night, Fallon and guest Elijah Wood, who’s out promoting his new movie The Romantics,

After two seasons of sex tapes, table-flipping, and hair extension-related lawsuits, The Real Housewives of New Jersey will continue on without the show’s self-proclaimed villain, Danielle Staub. But don’t worry, she’ll be back before you know it…with her own reality show! Staub recently spoke with EW about her decision not to return to RHONJ, the

We knew from Owen Gleiberman’s review of I’m Still Here, the Joaquin Phoenix documentary, that watching the actor try to convince Diddy to produce his rap album was a memorable moment. View the clip below, and you will concur. Diddy doesn’t respond well when he asks Phoenix if he has money to make this album

CW unveiled a new season of America’s Next Top Model and its fresh drama Hellcats on Wednesday, but to mixed results: The reality show was down 13% among adults 18-49 versus last year’s premiere and was the show’s lowest-rated season opener ever. It averaged nearly 2.9 million viewers during the 8 p.m. time slot, which was dominated by CBS’ Big Brother

If you’re a sucker for funny men turning into serious sweethearts, then you loved last night’s Psych. Shawn and Gus helped a framed spy, Nadia (The Bourne Identity‘s Franka Potente), clear her name. They didn’t believe she was innocent, which is why Shawn wore a wire when he had one last meeting with her. She

For roughly the past ten months, I have been utterly transfixed by the comic 9 Chickweed Lane. I’ve actually been a fan of the daily strip for years, which, since its start in 1993, has focused primarily on headstrong professor-cum-farmer Juliette living at the titular address in New Hampshire, and her headstrong ballerina daughter Edda living in

Congratulations, PopWatchers. After endless rounds of terrible auditions and prolonged canned moments of suspense courtesy of Nick Cannon, we have finally reached the finals of America’s Got Talent. Last night America voted Prince Poppycock, Michael Grimm, Jackie Evancho, and Fighting Gravity into the finals, leaving Michael Grasso, Taylor Matthews, Jeremy Vanschoonhoven, Christina & Ali, Anna

Yesterday, America’s favorite miniature reality nugget Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was in a New Jersey court to face charges stemming from her July arrest during production of season 3 in Seaside Heights. Snooki was fined $500 and ordered to perform community service as punishment for being drunk and disorderly on the beach. But the judge also

<Tosh.0 host Daniel Tosh last night did a segment on the website CelebrityNetWorth.com, which approximates how much stars are worth. Some of his search choices? Jack Ass star Bam Margera who, according to this seemingly very un-scientific site, is worth around $45 million (he also earns money through skateboarding endorsements). Rapper Master P landed at

Teens these days honestly have nothing to complain about, especially with really awesome things like this out there: In North Carolina, a music academy held a series of Glee Camps this summer, where young adults learned how to replicate the routines on the popular TV show. Pause for those older than 17 to groan in

The one I own is only about three inches long and sits on top of a bookshelf. But now, for a mere $5 million, I might be able to buy the original, life-size Aston Martin DB5 that James Bond drove in Goldfinger and Thunderball. The famous silver sports car with the pop-top roof and revolving

After sitting through pilot after pilot after pilot, TV critic extraordinaire Ken Tucker has locked in his picks for the five best new shows of the fall season, and his bold selections lead off Entertainment Weekly‘s new Fall TV Preview issue. What made the cut? Here’s a hint for each: one’s a remake, one deals
