"She was fearless." "She was a boundary pusher." Meet Bunny Yeager.

Exclusive: She was called the “prettiest photographer in the world.”

Music Box Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Naked Ambition, a documentary about Bunny Yeager who went from posing for pinup images to photographing them herself, helping to popularize the bikini and discovering Bettie Page in the process. Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch directed the film, which premiered at Doc NYC and went on to screen at the Miami Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival and more.

Music Box plans to open the film in select theaters on September 12. We have your first look at the documentary in the trailer below.

Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese, photographer Bruce Weber, and the late Larry King – in his final screen appearance – are among those who participate in the film. “Bunny was the most famous female photographer in America,” King says in the trailer.

Who Am I?

My name is Scott Brown, founder and CEO of Second Rodeo, and I have been telling stories on YouTube since it was a dating site. For the past 15 years, I have built my career, serving as a producer, writer and director for some of the biggest names in the industry. I’ve crashed a train with MrBeast, launched The Rock’s YouTube channel, and directed an Emmy-nominated series with Larry King. But through all the stunts, shows, and subscribers, I’ve been waiting for one thing to finally break through online: scripted storytelling.

That moment has arrived.

But let’s take a look at how we got here.

Your Web TV History Lesson

Half of you may not remember Web TV but I certainly do–the halcyon days of 2008. Simpler times. I had just graduated from USC with a degree in screenwriting. Just in time for the writer’s strike that year.

Late character actor Michael Madsen's filmography is as varied as it is vast, with well over 300 acting credits to his name. Madsen brought a special something to every role, an edge of danger lurking behind his ice blue eyes, and it served him especially well in Westerns. Two of Madsen's very best performances are in Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" and "Kill Bill Vol. 2," which are Westerns/Western-adjacent, but there was one film in the Wild West he regretted starring in that turned out to be an absolute flop. 

In an interview with The Guardian in 2004, Madsen shared the complicated choice he had to make when he decided to star as Virgil Earp, brother of the titular Wyatt (Kevin Costner) in the 1994 movie "Wyatt Earp." Ultimately, it came between him working with Tarantino once more in the director's second film, "Pulp Fiction," or starring in "Wyatt Earp,...

Believe it or not, back when Clint Eastwood convinced Burt Reynolds to star in one of his worst Westerns, the two were actually friends. It seems there was some confusion over Eastwood's suggestion that Reynolds star in a Spaghetti Western of the type that had made him a big name. This resulted in a regrettable role for Reynolds as a Native American in "Navajo Joe," a movie that the actor openly criticized for the remainder of his life. Despite all this, Eastwood and Reynolds had been friends prior to "Navajo Joe" and remained friends in the years that came after, even working together on an equally unfortunate film that brought the pair together at the height of their powers yet failed to live up to such a billing.

In 1984, Eastwood and Reynolds starred in "City Heat," a forgotten gangster movie that Roger Ebert absolutely hated, enough so as to label it a "travesty.

In between looking after the well-being of the nation and forging strong relationships overseas, the President of the United States sometimes finds a few spare hours to catch a flick. Luckily, they don't need to catch a motorcade down to the local multiplex and queue up like the rest of us. Instead, there is a small movie theater in the East Wing of White House where the President can enjoy a movie with his family and guests. Harry Truman was a fan of "My Darling Clementine" while John F. Kennedy preferred the adventures of James Bond in "Dr. No." More recently, Bill Clinton loved "High Noon" so much that he screened the classic Western 20 times during his residency at the White House. He also had some very positive things to say about another more contemporary movie directly related to his day job: Wolfgang Petersen's "In the Line of Fire.

Casting for Meet the Parents 4 is well underway, with Owen Wilson the latest star to rejoin the franchise with Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Teri Polo in the upcoming film that also has Ariana Grande on board.

But why was this the right time to revisit Meet the Parents? Stiller explained after a recent 25th anniversary screening of the original film at the 2025 Tribeca Festival.

“I think what spurred the idea was that at this point in time, I’m the age that Bob [De Niro] was when we did the first movie,” he said. “And there was this sort of mirror to the first film in terms of the fact that my kids are grown. And, yeah, that my kid, one of my kids, is thinking about introducing his person to the family.”

Stiller, De Niro and Polo, who reunited with original director Jay Roach, who’s set to produce the fourth film,...

If you feel like watching a political thriller this Independence Day, Pluto TV has you covered — and they'll even let you stream it for free. In the Line of Fire, the critically acclaimed 1993 movie starring Clint Eastwood as a Secret Service agent and John Malkovich as a would-be presidential assassin, is coming to the Fast streamer starting on July 1.

The movie was the brainchild of producer Jeff Apple (The Recruit), who was inspired by a childhood memory of seeing Lyndon Johnson surrounded by Secret Service agents. Apple commissioned writer Jeff Maguire (Escape to Victory) to pen the script, which was eventually directed by Das Boot's Wolfgang Petersen, who would tackle Presidential action again a few years later in Air Force One. The movie was one of the first to use digital effects: footage of Eastwood from the 1960s was digitized and inserted into old news footage to depict his character's early career.

The mostly one-sided feud between Eminem and Mariah Carey, which centered on their alleged romantic relationship in the 2000s, has a bizarre new chapter. A former producer for Carey has claimed Eminem once pitched her on the role of his mother in 8 Mile — despite her only being four years his senior.

Damion “Damizza” Young, who collaborated with Carey on “I Still Believe” and “Crybaby,” told the story during a recent episode of the Tfu Podcast. According to Young, he had been advising Carey against doing the movie Glitter when he received a call from Eminem’s team about setting up a meeting between the two artists.

“They said, ‘He’s got this movie called 8 Mile and he wants her to be in the movie,” Young recalled. Though he was hesitant to get “in the middle,” he passed along the opportunity to Carey, who was initially uninterested.

Frederick Forsyth, a British author of thrillers who frequently made the bestseller lists, sold 70 million books and saw his novels “The Day of the Jackal,” “The Odessa File” and “The Dogs of War,” among others, adapted into films, died on Monday at his home in Jordans, England. He was 86 years old. The New York Times confirmed Forsyth’s death, which his literary representative, Jonathan Lloyd, said “followed a short illness.”

“The Day of the Jackal” was adapted into a 1973 film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale. Fox played the professional assassin known only as the “Jackal” who is hired to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle in the summer of 1963. The film was a critical and box office success, and was also turned into a series in 2024 starring Eddie Redmayne.

Roger Ebert said of the feature version: “I wasn’t prepared for how good it...

Elton John unexpectedly joins The Wizard of Oz universe ahead of Wicked: For Good's release date. Earlier this week, the official trailer for Wicked's sequel dropped, building immense excitement to see Elphaba and Gilda reunite. That movie won't release until November 21, but in the meantime, The Wizard of Oz franchise is heading toward a comic book spinoff.

According to People, Sir Elton John will be writing the forward to Ultimate Oz Universe: The Lost Lands, a graphic novel set in the wicked world of Oz. The 114-page novel from Artists, Writers, and Artisans, Inc. (Awa) and Simon & Schuster is largely inspired by the original 1900 book by L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The news comes with the following press release:

The magic of Oz has been influential throughout legendary musician Sir Elton John's life, from childhood to inspiring the iconic song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road to now.

In the year 2000, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was the biggest game show on TV. Like all popular game shows, it wouldn’t be long until they cranked out a celebrity edition of the show. In fact, it debuted that same year. For Celebrity Millionaire’s second week, the contestants were a truly eclectic group — a group that included Tyra Banks, Vivica A. Fox, Alec Baldwin, Charlie Sheen and disgraced rapper P. Diddy. There were also a host of comedians, the most memorable of which was Norm Macdonald, who was the very last to compete for his charity.

It was worth the wait, however, as Macdonald cranked out a number of hilarious zingers during his short stint on the show. Here are his 10 funniest jokes and answers…

10 “You know, if this was me I would keep going, but there’s children… Give me that $100!”

By day, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins wears out shoe leather at the White House, trying to get the latest details on any number of eyebrow-raising policies coming out of the Trump administration. By night, she holds forth from a shiny Washington studio, far from the fray.

CNN hopes to inject a little of the reporter’s daytime routine into her nighttime one.

Collins is expected to leave her studio perch and host her 9 p.m. program, “The Source,” from the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet’s Washington, D.C., newsroom, a move that could take place as soon as Tuesday evening. The hope is that the change in setting will give viewers a more kinetic presentation that reminds them of Collins’ unique place at the network — it is rare for someone assigned to a busy news beat, in this case that of chief White House correspondent, to also have responsibility...

WWE has long embraced the strategy of bringing in celebrities from various fields as part of its gimmick acts. Over the years, it has featured some of the biggest names from Hollywood, the music industry, and other entertainment and sports sectors.

Stars like Shaquille O’Neal, Donald Trump, and Floyd Mayweather have all made appearances, helping WWE expand its popularity beyond hardcore wrestling fans to a much bigger and broader audience. Following the massive success of The Wrestler, WWE planned to bring in Mickey Rourke ( Ivan Vanko from Iron Man 2) to face Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 25, but he unexpectedly withdrew at the last moment for an unusually bizarre reason.

Jimmy Kimmel commemorated Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office in a way only he can: by showing off a 2007 interview of the now president. Being continuously on the air since 2003 has its perks.

On Monday night, Kimmel reflected on how much Trump has changed over the years, noting that the Republican president used to be a Democrat who was best known to the average American as a reality host for NBC. “Back in 2007, we had a very orange show on Jan. 16. Our guest lineup was Donald Trump and Carrot Top,” Kimmel revealed. The late night host then cut to a nearly two decade old interview that took place back when Trump was the host of the “Celebrity Apprentice.”

“There we are chatting, friendly. Neither one of us had any clue of what was to come,” Kimmel said. “And what a handsome idiot I was too, looking back all those years.

Mark Harmon lasted 19 long seasons in NCIS, playing the role of Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He was one of the few A-listers that the series tried to bring on the show during its inception. However, Harmon and series creator Don Bellisario formed a rapport during their first meeting. Despite bringing Harmon onto the show, it wasn’t an immediate hit with its ratings.

The series began with ratings that were only enough to keep it running for more seasons. This wasn’t the situation a few years later, when the show began to top the ratings chart. Harmon revealed one thing about these initial few seasons that might actually explain its ratings.

Penny Marshall's 1988 comedy smash-hit "Big" had a fun, fantastical premise. A 12-year-old boy named Josh (David Moscow) is tired of being treated like a kid, feeling that the world condescends to people of his age group all too often. Despondent, Josh visits a carnival and finds a coin-operated fortune-teller/wish-granting machine called Zoltar. He inserts his money and wishes to be "big," only to awaken the morning after in the body of Tom Hanks, who was 32 at the time. Suddenly 20 years older, Josh flees his panicked mother (Mercedes Ruehl), who doesn't recognize him, and is forced to enter the adult work force to survive. The only person who knows his secret is his best friend Billy (Jared Rushton).

"Big" was a tour de force from everyone involved in its making and went on to be nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Actor (for Hanks) and Best Original Screenplay...

Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer is heading this June to the Banff World Media Festival, where he will be recognized with a career achievement award. Zimmer will receive the honor during the Rockie Awards on June 9 — repping the first time Banff’s Gala Honours will be combined with the Rockie Awards International Program Competition.

Besides the award, Zimmer will also take part in an “In Conversation” panel, along with composers from the Emmy winning Bleeding Fingers Music collective that he co-founded in 2013. That will include a discussion with Anže Rozman, Ho-Ling Tang, Jacob Shea, Kara Talve and Sami Goldberg on the role of Bleeding Fingers in film and television scoring.

“Hans Zimmer has not only redefined cinematic music with his groundbreaking scores but has also revolutionized the industry through Bleeding Fingers, fostering a new generation of composers and crafting immersive soundscapes for film, television, and beyond. His influence extends far beyond the screen,...

Dennis Quaid is the movie star who inexplicably never was. The Houston-born hellraiser with the devil-may-care grin flashed palpable leading man potential with his portrayal of the former star quarterback who finds a measure of redemption astride a bicycle in Peter Yates' wonderful coming-of-age sports flick "Breaking Away." This potential turned into a veritable guarantee of future A-list dominance when he swaggered his way through "The Right Stuff" as Project Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper. Who's the best actor you ever saw? You might just be looking at him.

Quaid was almost always great, but the films that were supposed to launch him to superstardom kept underperforming. Wolfgang Petersen's "Enemy Mine," an underrated sci-fi riff on "The Defiant Ones," was horribly mis-marketed by 20th Century Fox, Joe Dante's brilliant "Innerspace" got hung out to dry by Warner Bros. over the 1987 July 4th holiday, and Jim McBride's wild-sexy New Orleans noir "The Big Easy,...

Diddy’s alleged freak off parties have stirred quite a controversy over the past few months, and model Amber Rose revealed new details about this issue after admitting she had been to every party hosted by the disgraced rapper.

Rose gained worldwide fame after she appeared in Young Jeezy’s 2008 music video for Put On, which also featured Kanye West, with whom she shared a two-year relationship before splitting. Their romance wasn’t a happy one, as evident in Rose’s confession that West bullied and tortured her for a decade.

Upon Charlie Sheen’s dramatic firing from Two and a Half Men, many felt the sitcom was as good as over. But as the story goes, Chuck Lorre and the crew bounced back by bringing in Walden Schmidt as Harper’s replacement. Although Ashton Kutcher did prove to be a good match for Jon Cryer’s Alan, the show never reached its previous heights post-Sheen’s exclusion.

It also didn’t help that the sitcom ended on a pretty bizarre note, which many felt was an insult to viewers who had invested a substantial portion of their time in the sitcom.

Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and one of the couple's pet dogs were found deceased at their home in Santa Fe, Mexico. Shortly after the news broke, an update revealed that authorities currently believe the deaths to be "suspicious" in nature.

Per TMZ, a search warrant for the home reveals new details about the tragic situation. A Santa Fe detective is quoted as saying that he believes the deaths of "the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened, deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female,...

Gene Hackman, the actor known for such roles as Lex Luthor and in The French Connection, has been found dead alongside his wife, Betsy Hackman, and one of their dogs at their home in Sante Fe, New Mexico.

The star, 95, was one of the industry’s most celebrated creatives with two Oscars under his belt. At the end of his life, Hackman was seldom seen out in public, and little was known about his health. He was last photographed with Betsy, 64, on March 28 as they held hands outside a restaurant in Santa Fe.

Hackman’s prolific career — including performances in Unforgiven (1992), Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and I Never Sang for My Father (1970) — ended in 2004 after he starred opposite Ray Romano in Welcome to Mooseport. He was 74 at the time.

He reflected on his quiet retirement while promoting a book in 2008, telling Reuters: “I haven’t held a press conference to announce retirement,...

Gene Hackman, the two-time Academy Award-winning actor known for his roles in films like The French Connection and Unforgiven, has died at the age of 95.

Hackman, his wife Betsy, and their dog were found dead at their home in New Mexico on Wednesday after deputies performed a welfare check, according to CNN. While there were no visible signs of foul play, investigators deemed their deaths “suspicious” after finding “no obvious signs of a gas leak” and the front door of their home “unsecured and opened.”

Hackman was born in San Bernardino, California on January 30th, 1930. Lying about his age, he enlisted in the Marine Corps when he was just 16, serving four years as a field radio operator before being stationed in China, Hawaii, and Japan. He was discharged in 1951.

As he began to pursue an acting career, Hackman joined the historic Pasadena Playhouse, where he met fellow aspiring actor Dustin Hoffman.

While her Koosh ball-firing days may be behind her, Rosie O’Donnell seems to be quite busy lately. In addition to joining the cast of the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That…, she has reportedly written a new hour of stand-up material for a forthcoming comedy special. Why? To make Ellen DeGeneres look even worse than she already does.

According to In Touch Weekly, the same journalistic outlet that just cracked the case of Jessica Simpson’s weight loss, O’Donnell is “secretly finalizing a deal” for a new comedy special and is “vowing to outshine her longtime rival” Ellen DeGeneres. The outlet spoke with an anonymous insider who claims that O'Donnell's new hour will be “a lot like Ellen’s special, except it’s funny!”

They went on to say that “Rosie still has a swagger and still has real comedy chops, and thankfully, in her new material...

Over the years, a lot of heroes and villains have debuted in the Marvel Universe with their own unique names and identities that could either leave fans hilariously baffled or immensely intrigued. But, of all time, ‘Mosquito Man’ was never a name fans heard of, as the late legendary mastermind Stan Lee changed his mind about him.

Turns out, this said character instead debuted as the fan-beloved friendly neighborhood superhero that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield became so famous for bringing to life for years: Spider-Man. This is because his original concept was more inspired by insects. But while that was that, the truth is that the respective character was actually rejected at first!

In the world of television, on-screen chemistry often masks the drama behind the screen for of course those who we see on the screen are actors, having an impeccable ability to mask their emotions. This was the case with Two and a Half Men‘s iconic duo, Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer, whose dynamic kept millions of fans engaged, unbeknownst to them of Charlie’s struggle off the screen.

However, not only were the fans unaware, but even Cryer had no knowledge of his co-star’s struggles despite working with him for years. It wasn’t until the last season that he started to notice the signs.

Suits follows a group of lawyers at a prestigious law firm, dealing with high-stakes cases and personal drama. But one thing that stands out about the show is its approach to the law. While Suits is based on legal concepts, it doesn’t always stick to the real legal procedures. In fact, it sometimes stretches the truth and bends the rules to keep the story exciting and unpredictable.

On the same subject, in a past interview, Patrick J. Adams also shared how Suits sometimes bends the rules just to make the plotline more exciting.

Did John Cena’s sex scene in Trainwreck turn Nikki Bella off? ( Photo Credit – WWE )

Yes, the WWE star’s cringe-inducing sex scene left Bella so scared she admitted she “couldn’t masturbate” after seeing it.

Back in 2015, Cena flexed his acting chops in Trainwreck, starring alongside Amy Schumer in the Judd Apatow rom-com. He played Steven, a gym-obsessed boyfriend who was just… not it. Cue the now-infamous bedroom scene, which Cena revealed wasn’t even scripted the way it turned out. On Larry King Now, he spilled, “We got into the room and started to ad-lib.” Apparently, Schumer and Apatow were all for ditching the planned physical humor and cranking up the awkward. Mission accomplished.

But for Bella? It was way too much. In a 2018 episode of Total Bellas, she let it all out, saying, “Imagine watching your man do a sex scene and have the whole world see his big butt.

Best known as the late-night host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s net worth in 2024 is almost as impressive as Guillermo Rodriguez’s mustache. Starting out as a radio host, Kimmel graduated to television when he began writing promotional work for Fox. He made his on-camera debut as the co-host of the Comedy Central game show Win Ben Stein’s Money, and later co-hosted The Man Show with Adam Carolla. In 2003, Kimmel was given his own series, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, on ABC, and it is one of the longest-running late-night talk shows on the network.

Media entrepreneur and legal expert Dan Abrams will stop hosting his one-hour NewsNation program in February.

The announcement was made at the end of Thursday’s broadcast, during which Abrams said he appreciated the three years he got to spend with the Nexstar Media Group-owned cable news upstart.

“Creating this one hour of television every night takes many hours each day. I take every word, every tease, every guest, every on-screen graphic personally — there is no such thing as mailing it in for any of us, including me,” Abrams said. “Three years after this…really kind of unexpected opportunity, I have reached the point where it is just impossible to keep devoting the time needed for this show while also running and growing my other businesses.”

Those other businesses include Mediaite, the news and political affairs recap website that is best known for reappropriating viral cable news clips,...

Bruce Springsteen on "The Simpsons"? Not yet, and if history holds, not anytime soon. The show has tried to get him as a guest star in many different episodes. There are apparently many Boss fans on the show's staff; voice actor Hank Azaria even has a Springsteen tribute band, "Hank Azaria & the Ez Street Band." Yet, Springsteen has turned down each and every offer.

It might be due to the bad experience the first time the show's creatives asked him. In a 1998 TV Guide interview, "Simpsons" writer Jay Kogen said he saw Springsteen by chance, so he went up and asked him to appear on the series. "He thought I was a maniac. We never heard from him," Kogen recalled.

The Springsteen "Simpsons" cameos that weren't meant to be include:

In "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish," Homer listens to a Bible on tape.

Sebastian Stan was highly praised for portraying Donald Trump in the biographical drama, The Apprentice. While the movie did not make a huge splash at the box office, it stirred up a lot of controversy prior to its release, thanks mainly to the former and new president of America. Now Stan has revealed that since Trumps unprecedented election victory, he has found himself being shut out when it comes to being able to speak about the movie even having to cancel an episode of Varietys Actors on Actors series as no one would participate with him.

Speaking at a Q&a after a screening of The Apprentice, Stan joined director Ali Abbasi to talk about the film, and revealed that he has struggled to find people willing to openly discuss the movie and its subject in any way for fear of receiving some kind of blowback for it. Stan said:...

As Saturday Night Live prepares for the comedy birthday party to end all comedy birthday parties, expect plenty of classic characters to get their encore flowers. Maybe Wayne and Garth will get in one last schwing! Stefon might reignite his love affair with Seth Meyers. Eddie Murphy could break out Mr. Robinson or Gumby.

But thanks to evolving cultural norms around comedy, these 10 SNL characters are virtually guaranteed not to get an invite to the festivities. Sorry, Merv the Perv, you’re not on the list.

1 Pat

Pat was Julia Sweeney’s signature SNL character, showing up 12 times to repeat the same tired joke: No one could tell if the androgynous character was a man or a woman. Playing gender identity for laughs isn’t cool — and it doesn’t help that whiny, whinging Pat was insufferable.

For years, fans watched the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, ’s appearance undergo dramatic changes. Despite the visible alterations, the singer publicly acknowledged only two nose surgeries and attributed his increasingly lighter skin to vitiligo. However, that wasn’t all. A Los Angeles surgeon, Dr. Wallace Goodstein, who worked alongside one of Jackson’s surges, once revealed that the star was a regular patient.

Goodstein said, “He had multiple surgeries. He came in approximately every two months. It was about 10 to 12 surgeries in two years while I was there.” As per the doctor, Jackson underwent multiple nose jobs, had a cleft put in his chin, and had cheek implants. Not only this, the late singer also had eyelid surgery.

While Jackson tried to hide his cosmetic surgery from the public, another source revealed to People that he always wanted to do these operations clandestinely.
