Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie Parker in A Christmas Story when he was only 12, will be returning to lead a sequel to the perennial holiday favorite. The 50-year-old child star–turned–filmmaker will be reprising his role in the new film, which is expected to take place when Ralphie is an adult in the 1970s, The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Thursday. In addition to starring in the sequel to the 1983 classic — titled A Christmas Story Christmas — Billingsley will produce for its production companies Legendary and Warner Bros. The Christmas Chronicles director Clay Kaytis is attached to direct...

Recently at the NCAA college football championship game between Louisiana State and Clemson, a picture was taken of actor Vince Vaughn shaking hands with President Donald Trump as the two watched the game from a private box at the Superdome in New Orleans. Someone posted it on the internet and the left-wing social media went nuts against Vaughn. How dare he “humanize” Trump! That was the mantra. When the left does this, their desire is to “cancel” a person; that means to attack and ruin the ability of the targeted individual to live life free of harassment and/or to make...

Iraq veteran Colby Smith revealed a “heroic” story about Vince Vaughn following the uproar on social media over the actor’s handshake with President Donald Trump. Smith, who served as a combat medic for the scout platoon of 108th Armor, 48th Combat Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division after being deployed in May of 2005 to Mahmudiyah, Iraq, just south of Baghdad, didn’t hold back as he spoke to the Daily Caller on Wednesday about the day he met the 49-year-old actor in the “violent area” known as the “triangle of death” when Vaughn stopped by the FOB (Forward Operating Base) St. Michael....

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended the College Football National Championship game on Monday where they were given an extremely warm welcome, with the crowd loudly cheering and breaking out in “USA” chants. “This is America,” the GOP’s Rapid Response Director Steve Guest reminded on Twitter. The crowd went absolutely wild for @realDonaldTrumpand @FLOTUSat the College Football National Championship game as they walked onto the field. Chants of "USA" broke out. This is America.#LSUvsCLEM pic.twitter.com/dEn6MjDai8— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 14, 2020 Leftists, however, were too preoccupied, it seems, with shaming those who appeared to have a friendly...

We constantly see so-called Hollywood liberals trying to blame Trump for anything and everything. Everything is Trump’s fault! Hollywood and Hollywood’s celebrities have lost their glamour. As time passes by I am more certain that these Hollywood “celebrities” are nothing more than a bunch of overpaid loudmouths who have nothing intelligent to say but throwing constant attacks on conservatives. The good old Hollywood was totally different, but of course, the liberals were different too. Yesterday Vince Vaughn, Hollywood actor, dared to chat it up with President Donald Trump at the national championship game in New Orleans. And now the left...

The video was uploaded by former Deadspin employee, Timothy Burke, who captioned it, "I'm...

VENICE, Italy—Two years ago, the Venice Film Festival hosted the world premiere of Hacksaw Ridge, a World War II drama directed by Mel Gibson. The film marked Gibson’s first turn behind the camera in a decade, since he’d drunkenly slurred “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” pleaded guilty to battering his then-partner Oksana Grigorieva, and was caught on audio saying she was “asking” to be “raped by a pack of n****rs.” Despite never demonstrating much in the way of genuine contrition, he was treated to a prolonged standing ovation on the Lido—the opening salvo of...

Meet your newest most favorite celebrity, Vince Vaughn. An interviewer for the British version of GQ decided to ask about the European Left’s favorite tongue-clucking topic of American culture, gun ownership. Rather than pander to the groupthink, Vaughn gave them the rhetorical double-barrel, and even offered a thinly veiled slam at the governing elite across the pond (via LoganSix on Twitter): On the American right to own a gun: “I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to...

In excerpts from the interview published Monday, Vaughn said he supports the right for people to have a gun in public “full stop, not just in your home” and that the Second Amendment is “not about duck hunting” but “to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government”:

With an opening weekend take of $28 million, Tom Cruise’s new sci-fi film “Edge of Tomorrow” — which debuted June 6 — did even worse than his last sci-fi movie, 2013’s “Oblivion.” In the last eight years, Cruise has had only one hit (2011’s “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol”). It looks like he’s nearing the end of his run as a major movie star, though we’ll see how “Mission: Impossible 5” does when it comes out next year.

Carl Kozlowski at Big Hollywood hails Ron Howard’s new film The Dilemma as “an instant classic for the conservative comedy lover,” so it’s fitting that some leftists don’t think it’s so funny. Rob Shuter reports that the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is blaming the movie’s less than stellar opening weekend on a joke about electric cars being gay: "Although there are a million reasons why a film can fail, we hope that Ron Howard and Universal will recognize from this that alienating audiences isn't a recipe for success," said Herndon Graddick, deputy director of programs at GLAAD, who...

Director Ron Howard’s upcoming comedy “The Dilemma” came under fire after a trailer was released featuring the film's star Vince Vaughn’s character referring to electric cars as “gay.” CNN host Anderson Cooper appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and denounced the language, the joke soon disappeared from the film’s trailer. But an insider tells Pop Tarts it wasn’t Anderson-on-"Ellen" that initiated the change. “The decision to change the trailer came two to three weeks prior to Anderson Cooper’s appearance on ‘Ellen’ after learning some people were offended, as well corresponding with GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation,)" said...

That's So...... (Insert Word Here)! The hysteria over Vince Vaughnʼs line in a movie is hilarious, ironic, and culturally fascinating all at once. Canʼt wait for that paragon of sensitivity and maven of innocuous mouthiness, Wanda Sykes, to weigh in on the issue. Here is her commercial defending the exclusive meaning of the phrase “Thatʼs so gay”, and a comedy routine that is patently offensive; the difference to her is the perceived intent by the victim. She scolds the teens in the commercial for being disrespectful to a protected group, but doesnʼt consider how disrespectful and gross she is in...

A trailer for Vince Vaughn's new film The Dilemma is being recut after GLAAD called it insensitive. In the clip, Vaughn, who plays an automotive consultant, says, "Ladies and gentleman, electric cars are gay." "The use of the word 'gay' in this trailer as a slur is unnecessary and does nothing more than send a message of intolerance about our community to viewers," GLAAD president Jarret Barrios said in a statement. For its part, Universal says it is replacing the trailer. "The teaser trailer for 'The Dilemma' was not intended to cause anyone discomfort," the company said in its own...

DHP Review: Four Christmases Posted by Dirty Harry on Friday, December 5th, 2008 Four Christmases might break the record for casting more Academy Award winning actors completely adrift than any other film ever made. Count ‘em: Robert Duvall, Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, and Reese Witherspoon… Five! Five Oscar-grippers all saddled with characters that have little to do, nowhere to go, and aren’t allowed to make an impression that even rises to the level of an Elliott Gould guest shot on Friends. Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) play a young, unmarried, well-to-do, narcissistic San Francisco couple very much...

Man, I am screwed.  

Los Angeles - Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's relationship is a thing of the past, if media reports are to be believed. Hollywood funnyman Vaughn split with Aniston at the beginning of September because she was too needy, reports say. The break-up occurred during a phone conversation on September 13, just before the actor left for London to begin work on a new film. Vaughn apparently told an insider that he and Aniston are not together anymore and a friend of Aniston told a US magazine that the two are 100% done. The actor reportedly got scared when he saw...

Must be VERY good Friends! By Carole Aye Maung HERE'S the proof that Jennifer Aniston has put the Brad old days behind her to concentrate on a new romance. The Friends beauty is pictured getting very, VERY pally with co-star Vince Vaughn on the balcony of their penthouse suite at the luxury Peninsula Hotel in Chicago.
