Fan Reactions: Ashley Greene’s Casting Controversy in Twilight

In an interview with MTV in March 2008, Ashley addressed the criticism.

Petite in stature but big on style, Sara Jean Underwood knows how to use sky-high heels to make a lasting impression. Born on March 26, 1984, the American model, television host, and actress rose to fame as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month in July 2006, later earning the coveted title of Playmate of the Year in 2007.

Though she consistently cites her height as 5ft 2in (157.5 cm) on social media, Playboy once listed her slightly taller at 5ft 3in—possibly factoring in the towering heels she’s known for wearing. She’s shorter than Holly Madison, who measures 5ft 5 (165.1 cm).

ABC’s “General Hospital” will celebrate its 62nd anniversary on Tuesday, April 1, and that day’s episode will honor one of the show’s most iconic characters, Dr. Monica Quartermaine, who had been portrayed by the late Leslie Charleson since 1977.

While the episode was written before Charleson’s death on January 12, 2025, at the age of 79, the introduction of the Dr. Monica Quartermaine Cardiac Wing will dedicate part of the fictional General Hospital location to her character.

“I was thrilled,” said Genie Francis (Laura Collins) in a recent interview published in the latest issue of TV Guide Magazine, discussing her character’s prominent role in the episode. “It’s always nice when they acknowledge the fact I’m sort of an antique here; I’m historical. I like the feeling of that.”

While producers had hoped Charleson would have been able to attend the on-air dedication when it was initially conceived,...

More than a decade ago, Stuart Weitzman introduced some truly distinctive shoes for the brand’s spring collection, and their impact is still remembered today.

One standout style was the ‘Perfbootie’ wedge booties, which Audrina Patridge—who stands 5ft 5 ¼ (165.7 cm) and wears a US shoe size 8—was spotted wearing while filming scenes for her reality show Audrina.

Like the Tyrols from the same designer, these Perfbooties are also light, neutral, and wedge-style. The distinctive features are the lace-up front and the patterned small-sized cutouts on the leather upper.

Very sad news this week out of the television world:

Leslie Charleson, the longest-tenured cast member on General Hospital, has passed away. She was 79 years old.

A four-time Emmy Award nominee, Charleson was best known for having portrayed the character of Dr. Monica Quartermaine on the soap opera, a role she began playing way back in 1977.

Leslie Charleson is dead at the age of 79. May she rest in peace. (ABC)

General Hospital Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed Charleson’s passing on the show’s official Instagram page on Sunday, January 12.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Leslie Charleson,” he began, continuing as follows:

“Her enduring legacy has spanned nearly 50 years on General Hospital alone and, just as Monica was the heart of the Quartermaines, Leslie was a beloved matriarch of the entire cast and crew. I will miss our daily chats,...

Dianna Agron’s Early Life and Background

Dianna Elise Agron, born on April 30, 1986, in Savannah, Georgia, grew up in a Jewish household and spent her childhood in San Antonio, Texas, and Burlingame, California.

Her father was a general manager for Hyatt Hotels, while her mother was a seamstress. She grew up in hotels due to the nature of her father’s career and is said to have gained her love for storytelling by observing the many fascinating people who passed through.

Even as a young girl, Dianna dreamed of emulating two of her idols, saying, “Growing up, I wanted to be a mixture of Audrey Hepburn and Lucille Ball.” This aspiration reveals the early seeds of her fascination...

If you haven’t been watching “American Song Contest,” you might not know that Scott Kirkland from the Crystal Method is from Nevada. He’s representing one of 45 states that have already competed on on the NBC competition, which is based loosely on Europe’s popular Eurovision Song Contest.

Other well-known names in the semi-finals of the competition include Michael Bolton for his home state of Connecticut, with the former champion of “The Voice,” Jordan Smith, competing on behalf of Kentucky, and “Glee” alum Riker Lynch fronting for Colorado.

Name recognition, however, isn’t always a guarantee of easy passage through the competition. Of those recently eliminated in the contest –Jewel, who represented Alaska, and Macy Gray, Ohio.

“There is a couple I thought should have stayed around, but I’m not a judge and I don’t have anything to do with that,” said host Snoop Dogg in a...

“American Song Contest” is live once again on April 11 with episode 4. This round-robin tournament features representatives from each of the 50 states, five US territories and the District of Columbia, all of whom are hoping to be the ones that perform the best original song in America.

Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg host this reality series modelled on the Eurovision Song Contest. They will kick off this fourth qualifier with the big reveal of which three contenders from Week 3 have earned enough votes from viewers and jurists to make it through to the semi-final. They will join Tennessee’s Tyler Braden who won over the national jury with the song “Seventeen.”

Singing for their places in the semi-final on week 4 are:

Allen Stone (Washington)

Alexis Cunningham (West Virginia)

Bri Steves (Pennsylvania)

Bronson Varde (Hawaii)

Jared Lee (Massachusetts)

Las Marias (Arizona)

MARi (New Hampshire)

Anyone who hears the Crystal Method’s new single “Post Punk” may recognize a familiar voice laced throughout it: “I don’t want to be a punk. I don’t want to belong to any of it. I just want to be.”

It sounds just like Iggy Pop talking about the Stooges in Gimme Danger, Jim Jarmusch’s 2016 documentary about Pop’s former band. And, in fact, that’s exactly what it is — a sample of Pop’s voice propels the group’s first new single in four years.

The Napa Valley Film Festival is a rather unique experience in the festival realm, and they have awards/honors that don’t fit the normal mold of what people may be used to seeing. This year, Matthew McConaughey received the Caldwell Vineyard Maverick Actor Tribute in celebration of his cinematic achievements. It probably isn’t much a stretch for many to figure out that he’s among the most likely candidates for such an honor.

Prior to the ceremony, McConaughey’s highly-anticipated Gold screened for festival patrons. Matthew’s wife, Camilla Alves, Producer Teddy Schwarzman and The Weinstein Company COO David Glasser, were also in attendance. After the screening Deadline Hollywood’s Mike Fleming hosted and moderated the on-stage conversation. Matthew was joined by his wife Camilla Alves.

Fox has given a put-pilot commitment to a new Civil Rights legal drama from Danny Strong and Jessica Sharzer. Deadline reports, "...the untitled project centers on a team of civil rights lawyers who take on the most newsworthy cases of our time, balancing the high stress of their jobs with sex, drugs and assorted other vices."Strong got his start on Saved By the Bell: The New Class. As an actor, he really broke out as Jonathan Levinson, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A talented writer too, Strong created Empire with Lee Daniels. He also wrote Daniels' film, The Butler, as well as the HBO movie, Game Change. Read More…...

Before electronic music had dozens of chart-topping producers and an entire genre to its name, which we today call Edm, in the mid-90s, a few U.S. acts such as Moby and the Crystal Method broke through with a sound called "electronica."   The Crystal Method's 1997 debut album "Vegas" is considered one of the best releases of this period for its trippy, funky, breakbeat heavy sound that yielded classics such as "Busy Child." Seventeen years later, the Los Angeles-based, Las Vegas-bred duo of Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland are still crafting big beats.    While electronic music has changed a lot since...

With Edm having become a massive mainstream phenomenon, it’s imperative to remember the influence of that exhilarating first wave of trendsetters in the mid to late ’90s. The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx and the like wildly turned dance music on its head and veritably became the “rock” stars of the post-rave generation. Las Vegas’ Crystal Method were one of America’s most dynamic representatives of that scene, their rousing 1997 breakbeat single “Busy Child” enjoying months of ubiquity. The duo of Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan are returning now with their first new album in five years in

In a very rare move for a TV series, Fox’s Almost Human is teaming with a popular music act to serve as the show’s composer.

Las Vegas-based electronic duo The Crystal Method has been contracted to score at least the first season of the sci-fi drama, starting with Sunday’s premiere. “We were absolutely thrilled to be asked to score Almost Human,” Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland said in a statement. “The show is really incredible! Although scoring weekly television is a tremendous challenge we feel that this has been the perfect series for us to pick up.

The final countdown is on: Baby boy is almost here!

After spending the last few days in Vail, Colo. exploring nature — from fly fishing to mountain hikes – and enjoying a variety of sweet and savory treats, Bill and Giuliana Rancic‘s babymoon is coming to a close.

Expecting their first child — a son! — via a gestational carrier, the couple have received the much anticipated call that their surrogate is now in labor, E! News confirms.

“It’s Game Time…” the proud dad-to-be Tweeted Wednesday evening.

And with fans eager to hear the news, Giuliana took to Twitter to confirm,...

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler‘s little cub is here!

The reality star and her Chicago Bears quarterback fiancé welcomed a son early Wednesday, Aug. 8, the proud new mom Tweeted.

“We are thrilled to welcome Camden Jack Cutler into the world,” Cavallari, 25, writes. “He was born this morning weighing 7 lbs., 9 oz. Everyone is doing great!”

Shortly after reconciling following a brief split, the couple announced they were engaged and, in January, confirmed they were expecting their first child.

Although thrilled with their pending arrival, Cavallari admitted the pregnancy wasn’t exactly planned.

“We left it up to fate.

It’s a boy for The Civil Wars‘s Joy Williams!

The duo’s female half — pictured here with bandmate John Paul White — and her husband Nate Yetton welcomed a son, Miles Alexander, on Saturday, June 30 in Nashville, she announced via Twitter.

“Now I really know what love at first sight means after meeting my son, Miles Alexander,” Williams, 29, writes. “Born yesterday, all happy and healthy. xo”

The musician announced her pregnancy in February, just before she and White picked up awards for best folk album and best country duo/group performance at the Grammys.

After leaving their recent baby shower — where the couple announced they’re expecting a baby boy — Giuliana and Bill Rancic took a long stroll together, not only to “walk off too many cupcakes,” but to discuss baby names!

“We walked almost an hour and a half,” the E! News host told People, at Nivea‘s National Pda Day event in New York on Wednesday.

They haven’t settled on a name, but “we have a short list,” Giuliana, 37, says. And the couple is leaning toward old-fashioned.

“We’re going for traditional but not commonly used,” explains Giuliana.

Oops — this Bear has a big mouth.

Although Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler know the sex of their baby, they said they weren’t sharing — but someone forgot to tell his Chicago Bears teammate Earl Bennett.

“He’s having a boy,” Bennett, 25, said on the Boers & Bernstein sports radio show in Chicago Tuesday. “I am excited for Jay. It’s a great time.”

Cavallari, 25, announced in January that she and her quarterback fiancé, 29, were expecting their first child this summer.

“I think every guy wants a guy to carry on the name,” the former reality star told Glamoholic in March.

Someone sure knows how to dress to impress!

From his first photos to shooting hoops at the park, we’ve always been big fans of Hank Baskett, IV‘s sporty style.

But at the April 15 premiere of The Arctic in L.A., the 2-year-old proved he can also dress things up while posing with parents Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett.

The curly-haired cutie wore a faded red button-down shirt, light blue jeans and a pair of white Creative Recreation‘s Cesario 4 Lo Sneakers ($26 – $45).

Williams, 29, and partner John Paul White picked up awards for best folk album and best country duo/group performance at Sunday’s show.

By 2020, technology will have advanced to give us even cooler phones and Gsp systems, but most impressive (at least according to director Shawn Levy) will be boxing robots. And what does a former (human) boxer do when he is replaced by the technology of robots? Become the operator and promoter of said robots, naturally. But more importantly, what kind of music does he fight and train to? The year might be 2020, but the artists making up the soundtrack for Real Steel almost read like it was released in the 1990s with songs from Limp Bizkit, The Crystal Method, The Prodigy and Foo Fighters. And this is not a bad thing. Real Steel is all about the performance (both in and outside of the ring) and the swagger filled soundtrack will get your adrenaline pumping as you root for the underdog team of former boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman), his son Max (Dakota Goyo) and their robot, Atom...

Method Man wants you to know he hasn't sold out.

Sure, he just got paid to do a rap about Sour Patch Kids candies, but he really doesn't think that makes him a sell-out -- at least not more than any of the other rappers out there these days.

"If I'm selling out, then the majority of the people in the game are selling out," the rapper, whose real name is Clifford Smith, told The Huffington Post. "I think it is for the betterment of the music. At least [Sour Patch Kids] got a real rapper to do a video. They got a rough rapper and they should get kudos for that and I should get kudos for broadening our horizons."

The Sour Patch Kids rap, "World Gone Sour (The Lost Kids)", is some of Method Man's finest work -- seriously! He really doesn't hold back on the cursing as he laments...

The details for the soundtrack album for Real Steel have been revealed. The soundtrack will be released on October 4, 2011 by Interscope Records. The album features one track from the score by Danny Elfman, as well as several songs from the movie. Artists featured on the release are Bad Meets Evil, Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, 50 Cent, Eminem, Prodigy & Tom Morello, Limp Bizkit and Alexi Murdoch. To pre-order the soundtrack, visit Amazon and check back on this page for audio clips. No word yet on a separate release of Elfman’s score. Real Steel directed by Shawn Levy is set in the near-future where 2,000-pound robots that look like humans do battles. The movie starring Hugh Jackman, Kevin Durand, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie and Hope Davis will be released in theaters on October 7.

Dallas – In the past year electronic dance music has wiggled its way back into the mainstream in a way it hasn’t done since the mid-90’s enthusiasm for hard-banging house acts like the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers, who have both weathered changing musical trends and are still around today. What better time than now for the inaugural run of a new touring digital music festival?

Case-in-point, the Identity Festival. “Grandfathered” by Edm legends Kaskade and Steve Aoki, who helped pick out the jaw-dropping lineup, Identity has been sweeping the U.S. with rotating slots featuring the likes of White Shadow, Holy Ghost, Datsik, the Disco Biscuits, Rusko, DJ Shadow, Skrillex, Pretty Lights and, of course, Kaskade and Aoki themselves at select spots.

Things were off to a slow start at the Dallas stop on Sunday, considering the temperature was a mild 107 degrees.

At this point, I’m of the camp that really digs the concept of pairing universally renown music artists with up-and-coming web video creators—especially in the mind altering worlds that machinima lets you play in. The profiles of the creators are certainly raised—lending some mainstream hooks to their otherwise niche style of filmmaking. Last Monday The Crystal Method kicked off the new series with a music video collab from Kootra, notching a respectable, though not astounding, 420,000 views. This week it’s another rising star on Machinima’s deep bench of young filmmakers, Myoelectric—Dustin Valcalda and Justin Loebel—known for dozens of graphic, high energy machinima vids like the Super Death Montage (below). Trance DJ Paul Oakenfold (above), an artist emerged from the edge of pop culture himself, lends his track “Tokyo” off his to-be-released album Pop Killer to the series. Tokyo is a apt choice for this experiment with machinima,...

The Crystal Method have always been alchemists of sound, experimenting with tonal subtleties and electronic dance grooves since the early 90′s. That’s why news of the La-based duo playing around with video game engines for their latest music video doesn’t really surprise me. TCM’s Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland opted for an all-machinima based video for their new track “Play For Real” (which also features Heavy) and launched the video (below) late yesterday as part of Machinima’s (the network) new music video series. As part of the distro plan, the track in the video, “Play For Real,” is available now for one week only as a free download for the fans directly from the band’s website, while a full digital Ep including remixes of the song by Dirtyphonics, Le Castle Vania, Left/Right & Digital Pizza and Team Awesome will be released August 15 via TCM’s own Tiny e Records.

At this point you have to really look at Machinima as a mega-network. There are so many shows and videos coming out of the 2.5 billion-view behemoth YouTube channel—plus another 8.5 billion from channels in its network—that this is one massive fire hose. Of course we’re talking about Machinima, the network with a big M, and not to be confused with litte ‘m’ machinima, the much broader term for game engine based storytelling that inspired the company’s name. Their latest original comedy web series Supremium is anything but machinima. The live-action send-up of The Office, It Crowd and Extras sets itself in a modest boutique gaming studio called Supremium, where the five leads illustrate their many oddball ways of avoiding working. Creators Robert Welkner and Hailey Bright, longtime collaborators in web video land through their hosted gaming series Coin-op TV, pitched the show to Machinima who has been...

The Crystal Method fans take note: On Monday, August 8, Machinima.com will launch The Machinima Music Video Series with the exclusive world premiere of a game-based animated music video for the brand-new track .Play For Real. by The Crystal Method featuring The Heavy and directed by Machinima director Kootra. The Crystal Method are one of the first of many popular music artists paving the way with an original method of interacting with music, pioneering a new medium to listen to favorite artists while viewing story-based video game content. .Play For Real. is available now for one week only as a free download for the fans directly from TCM's website www.thecrystalmethod.com.

Travis Egedy, who performs and records as Pictureplane, has been credited with coining the deeply mocked term “witch house,” but on his new album, Thee Physical, he shows enough personality to stand out from the faceless swath of laptop auteurs. Egedy splices house-music thump and Atari-console bloops with melodies that split the difference between Depeche Mode and Jodeci for icy, snapping tracks that only occasionally overshoot their mark and turn into kitsch. (The chopped-up hip-hop vocal samples on “Body Mod” bring to mind something that would fit on a late-’90s action-movie soundtrack alongside The Crystal Method.) As a songwriter ...

It was a time of sex, cynicism and Star Wars - and endless lampoons of the old Batman TV shows. Almost inconceivably, given the era that we live in, there had never been a superhero movie that wasn't cheap, laughable, aimed at kids - or all three. So when Superman producers the Salkind brothers decided to follow up their success of the Musketeers movies with another ambitious two-part movie project, they knew they'd need to throw high-level talent at the first ever serious cinematic account of the Man Of Steel.

Enter Richard Donner, riding a high wave of interest from The Omen; enter Marlon Brando, superstar Gene Hackman, Godfather screenwriter Mario Puzo...enter years of hard-working hell inventing entirely new cinematic processes to make us all believe a man can fly. And enter unknown actor Christopher Reeve, ready to take on the dual role of Clark Kent and Kal-El in what remains a definitive interpretation.

As Warner Bros. prepares to reboot the Man of Steel – again – the studio is going back to Superman’s cinematic roots. Not the hero’s black-and-white days.
