Chris Pine has done just about everything in Hollywood. The 43-year-old has starred in blockbuster franchises, indie flicks, and rom-coms, as well as TV sitcoms, series, and comedies. No wonder Pine was getting “bored and frustrated” with his entertainment career. He was ready to try something new, hence his directorial debut with Poolman. The Don’t Worry Darling star also seems ready to spice up his wardrobe. Learn more about Pine’s new comedy mystery movie and out-there look for the premiere.

Actor who starred as the troubled pupil in Tea and Sympathy on stage and screen

The actor John Kerr, who has died aged 81, won a Tony award in his first starring role on the Broadway stage, as Tom in Tea and Sympathy in 1953, and subsequently appeared in the 1956 film version directed by Vincente Minnelli. Robert Anderson's play, in which a schoolboy "confesses" to his housemaster's wife that he might be homosexual – only to be seduced out of the notion by the sympathetic listener – was considered so controversial that it was restricted to a "members only" theatrical run in London, and Minnelli's film received an X certificate, despite modification, notably in the suggestion that the housemaster was gay.

Kerr starred as the boy, although by then he was in his 20s. Born in New York, son of the actors Geoffrey Kerr and June Walker, he had already graduated from Harvard,...

Writer/director Tom Holland is best known for his work on such genre staples as Fright Night (which he wrote), Child’s Play (which he wrote and directed), as well as his work on films like Thinner, the TV movie The Stranger Within, The Temp and the Masters of Horror episode “We All Scream for Ice Cream.” What many may not know is that before Holland became known for his work behind the camera, he spent a lot of time in front of the camera.

Working for years as an actor in such television series as "Combat!", "The Young Lawyers", "Medical Center", and "The Incredible Hulk", Holland was a journeyman actor before he created some of the most influential horror franchises in the Eighties.

Last year Holland returned to acting by appearing as “Uncle Bob” in Adam Green’s Hatchet II. A follow-up to Green’s 2006 swamp slasher pic of the same name,...

Get your slow claps ready, we need to welcome another late-in-life celesbian as she makes her way out of the closet and into our club. Meredith Baxter came out to Matt Lauer (and the entire world) on this morning's Today Show.

Here's the clip:

I can’t say I am completely shocked. I’ve seen my fair share of her Lifetime Television for Women movies and my gaydar went blip blip blip blip and then petered off. Looking at her now though, it’s quite obvious. She looks like she walked straight out of Suze Orman’s closet and is ready for golf/tennis/a Tupperware party hosted at Smith College.

Baxter made her television debut in 1971 (The Young Lawyers) and worked steadily in television, including an Emmy-nominated role on the drama Family, before taking on what is perhaps her best known role, that of Elyse Keaton in the award-winning...
