New York brothers Colin and Wesley DeGonzaque say they now share a "forever bond" after undergoing a life-saving kidney transplant surgery. Colin, 15, had spent his entire life in and out of hospitals due to kidney failure and was told six months ago that he would need a new organ. Wesley, 19, immediately volunteered himself to get tested. "I remember when I was a kid seeing Colin sick and I felt scared and helpless," Wesley, a sophomore at Onondaga Community College, tells People. "This was my chance to do something." He adds, "This was my chance to save him." As it turned out,...

Hot Pursuit may be corning the market on fun mindless comedies this summer, and judging from the two new trailers released today, it will be a surprise hit. Especially considering both of its main stars, Sof&#237a Vergara and Reese Witherspoon are so beloved. Here, they seem to have that perfect kind of chemistry that makes a movie like this something really special.

This latest trailer, which comes in both a domestic and U.K. version, proves that Saturday Night Live's Kate McKinnon isn't the only woman with a mean Justin Bieber impression. Reese Witherspoon, who goes back to her Southern roots playing an extremely petite and air-headed Texas cop, must go undercover as the teen pop idol. But that's not the only disguise her and co-star Sof&#237a Vergara have to take on to evade both a corrupt police force and the cartel. The pair find themselves posing...

Some cinema snobs may write off the upcoming comedy Hot Pursuit as trash, but judging from the trailer, this fast-paced action caper has everything needed to make it a gigantic hit when it arrives early this summer. We have the first poster, which pairs odd couple Sof&#237a Vergara and Reese Witherspoon for the first, but probably not the last, time. We've also got another look at the trailer in case you missed it the first time around.

A Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema and MGM production,Hot Pursuit follows an uptight and by the book cop (Reese Witherspoon) who tries to protect the sexy and outgoing widow of a drug boss (Sof&#237a Vergara). The pair must race through Texas, pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen. As the tagline says, these two ladies are 'armed and sort of dangerous!'

The first trailer for action comedy Hot Pursuit has debuted online.

Reese Witherspoon stars as a police officer tasked with protecting the widow of a drug dealer, played by Sofia Vergara.

However, things take a turn for the worse when the pair are pursued across Texas by criminals who want to kill them both.

Jodi Lyn Brockton, Robert Kazinsky and John Carroll Lynch also star in the film.

Witherspoon recently praised her co-star Vergara for making the film fun to work on, adding that they struggled to film some scenes as they were "laughing so hard".

Speaking to People about their characters, she said: "[Sofia's] character is so sexy and suave, and I'm so dorky."

Hot Pursuit will be released in cinemas on May 8.

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer and photos from Hot Pursuit, which was previously just known as the Untitled Reese Witherspoon/Sofia Vergara Film. As you can see from the footage below, Hot Pursuit is certainly a fitting title. The story follows an uptight and by-the-book cop (Reese Witherspoon) who tries to protect the sexy and outgoing widow (Sof&#237a Vergara) of a drug boss as they race through Texas pursued by crooked cops and murderous gunmen.

The supporting cast is rounded out by John Carroll Lynch, Robert Kazinsky, Michael Mosley, Richard T. Jones and Mike Birbiglia. While Sof&#237a Vergara is certainly no stranger to the comedy genre, after starring in Modern Family and last year's indie hit Chef, it seems like quite awhile since we've seen Reese Witherspoon in a comedy, after critically-acclaimed performances in dramas such as Wild and Inherent Vice.

Though "Bates Motel's" premiere episode might not have been the show's most romantic, love is coming to White Pine Bay. Everyone from Norma and Norman to Dylan and Emma will have new romantic interests in Season 2, some for the good and some for the bad.

First up is Norma. She'll meet George Heldens (Michael Vartan) in episode 3, and sparks will end up flying between the two.

"Norma very much is trying to find happiness this season, and she's trying to make the life for herself that she's always wanted," series co-creator Carlton Cuse teases to Zap2it at the "Bates Motel" Season 2 premiere red carpet. "It doesn't work out all that well."

George is described as being "sensitive" and "kind," and Vartan promises that he is an all-around good guy.

"I think that one of the reasons the writers and producers wanted to bring in a character like this...

In "Bates Motel" Season 2, the town of White Pine Bay will become a much bigger character on the show. Though viewers realized some of the sinister nature of its inhabitants and the drug trade in the show's first season, those elements will come to the forefront this year.

Because of that, the drama at home with Norma and Norman Bates will be balanced with the growing presence of White Pine Bay's crime world. Many of Season 2's new characters come from the drug families, and their involvement in the main "Bates Motel" storylines will greatly affect all of the main characters on the show.

"The whole drug world will open up this season. The whole underbelly will be exposed," Nestor Carbonell, who plays Sheriff Romero, tells Zap2it at the show's red-carpet premiere. "We'll really get to see how it works, how it's sustained, and how I navigate those waters.

"Bates Motel" viewers will be introduced to many new faces when Season 2 premieres on March 3. As an early tease, here's a look at the new characters, both White Pine Bay residents and out-of-towners, coming to the forefront in the new episodes.

These new characters range from the new love interests for Norma and Norman to the upper echelon of the drug families running the town. The descriptions, courtesy of A&E, correspond with the above picture in order from left to right, top and then bottom.

George Heldens (Michael Vartan): George is a sensitive, kind and handsome divorcee and Norma's new love interest.

Christine Heldens (Rebecca Creskoff): Christine is a member of the upper-crust of White Pine Bay who takes the single-mother with the bad reputation under her wing.
