EXCLUSIVE: Nine days after Olivia de Havilland turned 102, the California Supreme Court has rejected the two-time Oscar winner’s desire to have them review her feud with FX Networks and Ryan Murphy over her depiction in the Emmy winning 2017 Feud: Bette and Joan anthology. “It is a sad day for Miss de Havilland and for the legal system,” the Hold Back the Dawn actress’ primary lawyer Suzelle M. Smith said bluntly to Deadline today. While a blow, the terse and unexplained “petition denied” from the Golden State’s highest court Wednesday hasn’t completely TKO’d the Hollywood legend’s aim to see...

The mission to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach from a Thai cave is to get the Hollywood treatment in a movie announced by faith-based production house Pure Flix. Managing partner Michael Scott, who lives in Thailand and was at the rescue site in Chiang Rai as the boys were being pulled to safety, made the announcement late Tuesday on Twitter. "I couldn't be more excited. This story has meant so much to me as I have followed it in Thailand this summer," he said in a video filmed at the scene of the flooded cave in the country's...

A little midweek uplift. Something to remember that HE is in control.

The latest classic TV show to get the musical treatment has been announced: CBS’s mid-60s hit Green Acres, about a married couple who’s made it in New York, only to return to the simple life on a country farm. The show is officially in the works after years of trying to get it off the ground; way back in 2012, Variety reported that a stage production of Green Acres was in the “beginning stages,” but nothing came of the effort. It’s finally come together as part of the launching of Center Stage Capital, Inc., a new entertainment company set to...

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are engaged! Only weeks after rekindling their romance, the singer and model got engaged Saturday night (July 7) in the Bahamas while having dinner at a local restaurant, TMZ reports, citing two eyewitnesses. Bieber, 24, and Baldwin, 21, have been silent so far on social media, but the pop star's father, Jeremy seemingly confirmed the engagement on Instagram Saturday. “@justinbieber Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!” he wrote. Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette, also seemed to reference the special occasion on Twitter Sunday. “Love Love Love Love Love Love Love,” she wrote. Hailey...

On the first day of Essence Fest 2018, Snoop Dogg created a gospel concert where there was none. And it was good. The multitudes that filled the Mercedes-Benz Superdome witnessed a performance that would have been unthinkable 25 years ago when Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. emerged on the California gangster rap scene. For the first few songs on Friday (July 6) night, the braided and bespectacled Snoop touched on tried and true topics, such as the consumption of cannabis, mayhem and serial romance. Two scantily clad women added scintillating choreography to the songs. Snoop's mascot, a dude in a plush...

You'll no longer be able to post written reviews as of July 30, and then in mid-August existing written reviews will be removed. Soon, it'll be a little harder for you to tell everyone what you thought of Marvel's The Avengers. Netflix is removing a desktop-only feature this summer that allowed users to read and write reviews of TV shows and movies on its website. But the shutdown is coming in stages. People will no longer be able to write their feedback on a show, similar to a Yelp review of a restaurant, by July 30. And in mid-August, people...

Elvis Costello has revealed he is battling a very aggressive form of cancer and has cancelled his European tour. The London-born musician, whose real name is Declan Patrick MacManus, has been advised to rest by his doctor following surgery for cancer. The 63-year-old released a statement on Facebook saying that while he had returned to touring he now needed further rest. Costello, whose pseudonym comes from a mixture of Elvis Presley and his musician father's stage name, was due to perform gigs in Manchester, Pula, Croatia, Graz and Vienna in Austria, Tysnes in Norway and Rattvik, Sweden. He had previously...

This expresses the absolute joy I feel whenever I remember - a thousand times a day - that Donald Trump is the president of the United States. And thanks to all who uparrowed Nessun Dorma for Trump. It's recently gotten two downarrows, but we're still winning!

Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite is a concert that was headlined by Elvis Presley, and was broadcast live via satellite on January 14, 1973. The concert took place at the Honolulu International Center (HIC) in Honolulu (now known as the Neal S. Blaisdell Center) and aired in over 40 countries across Asia and Europe (who received the telecast the next day, also in primetime). Despite the satellite innovation, NBC did not broadcast an edited version of the concert in the United States until April 4, 1973 because the concert took place the same day as Super Bowl VII. The decision...

Katharine McPhee and David Foster are headed to the altar. The former "American Idol" contestant and the Canadian musician confirmed their engagement on Tuesday. Foster, 68, popped the question to McPhee, 34, while the two were vacationing in Capri, Italy, according to the former "Smash" star.

Foster has been married four times and has five children. His last marriage was to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Yolanda Hadid....

I don't listen to too much pop music these days but when I do, almost every song has a certain element in it - which is being termed the "Millennial Whoop." I guess I could try to be the sophisticated musician and describe to you transitions between the fifth and third notes of a major scale and what not but I won't even try. The Millennial Whoop is basically putting a lot of "Wa-oh, wa-oh's" in just about every hit song. But don't take my word for it. Listen to it in the links below: Millennial Whoop Compilation Millennial Whoop...
