Jagathy Sreekumar, once a towering comedy icon in the Malayalam film industry, has remained largely absent from the silver screen for over a decade. His hiatus followed a tragic road accident that left him with severe injuries and a long, ongoing recovery process. Despite his health challenges, fans were treated to happy news on his birthday this year when director Arun Chandu announced a new film featuring the beloved actor.

Pamela Anderson is an instantly recognizable celebrity. But she’s really just like anyone else.

By that, we mean that the 57-year-old actress also had childhood crushes on fellow stars. She also gets nervous about meeting some celebrities.

In a new interview, she opened up about meeting her childhood crush and revealed a costar that she was “terrified” to meet.

Speaking to W Magazine, Pamela named Michael Jackson as an early crush.

“I thought he would want to marry me. Then I met him, and he didn’t ask me to marry him! I was really disappointed,” she recalled.

Pamela said that she gets “frightened to meet people.”

For instance her The Last Showgirl costar Jamie Lee Curtis.

“I was terrified. But as soon as I met her, she grabbed me by the shoulders, looked me in the eye, and said, ‘I did this for you.

Lily-Rose Depp recently told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she was left “traumatized” by her father Johnny Depp’s 1990 fantasy movie “Edward Scissorhands.” The Tim Burton-directed classic stars Johnny as a societal reject who has blades for fingers. But it wasn’t the character’s physical appearance that distressed Lily-Rose as a child.

“I was traumatized by it. Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him and I got really upset,” Lily-Rose told the publication, calling out the film’s ending when the suburban townsfolk turn on Edward as being particularly horrifying.

“I remember being petrified by that, which is weird, because I don’t have many memories from when I was that young,” she added. “It’s a difficult childhood memory.”

Lily-Rose said she’s often been attracted to the characters who are supposed to be the monster, which applies to...

Starting in 1996, the cartoon showcase TV Funhouse became a regular fixture on Saturday Night Live. The brainchild of veteran SNL writer — and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog creator — Robert Smigel, TV Funhouse is best remembered as the home for Ace and Gary, “The Ambiguously Gay Duo,” who would defeat the forces of evil in the most suggestive ways possible.

But there was more to TV Funhouse than just Ace and Gary. Other recurring segments included “The X-Presidents,” — in which (then) ex-presidents Reagan, Ford, Bush Sr. and Carter (Rip) would make America safe with their variety of superpowers, and “Fun with Real Audio,” where real news audio from political figures would be used over hilariously humiliating animation. There were also dozens of one-off cartoons featuring Smigel’s signature brand of twisted humor.

Sadly, TV Funhouse ended in 2008, and but for a one-segment revival in 2011, it hasn’t been heard from since.

Oh, you thought the Met Gala was just about fancy dresses, over-the-top couture, and the who’s who of the fashion world? Think again.

RiRi is reportedly putting her foot down—and that foot is aiming squarely at the Kardashians. Word on the street is that the former is setting her sights on kicking Kendall Jenner and the whole Kardashian-Jenner crew to the curb when it comes to the 2025 Met Gala.

In Hollywood, there have been many iconic roles that were first passed around or rejected by stars. Even heavyweights like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks have missed out on great opportunities. But could it be for the best? Because one such performance left Lily-Rose Depp traumatized.

George Folsey Jr., a famous film editor and director known for his work on classic comedies like “Animal House” and “Coming to America,” has died at 84. His son, Ryan Foley, who is also a film editor, told everyone that he had died.

Over more than fifty years, Folsey Jr. had a very successful career in Hollywood. People knew him best for working with director John Landis for a long time. Major hits like “The Kentucky Fried Movie” (1977), “National Lampoon’s Animal House” (1978), and “The Blues Brothers” (1980) were produced as a result of their collaboration, which started with Landis’s 1973 film “Schlock.” During the 1970s and 1980s, they helped shape American humor.

Editing Michael Jackson’s groundbreaking “Thriller” music video in 1983 was one of Folsey Jr.’s most important jobs. This famous song not only changed the way music videos looked, but it also became an important part of the culture. His...

George Folsey Jr, the veteran film editor and producer who worked closely with John Landis on movies including Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Coming to America and the ill-fated Twilight Zone: The Movie as well as the iconic music video for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” has died. He was 85.

The news was confirmed Wednesday by his son, fellow editor Ryan Folsey, on social media.

Folsey Jr was the son of George Folsey, the 13-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer whose credits included Meet Me In St. Louis, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Executive Suite and The Balcony.

George Folsey Jr., the longtime producer and film editor for director John Landis, has died at the age of 85, according to his family.

The son of 13-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer George J. Folsey, whose credits included “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Forbidden Planet,” Folsey Jr. got his start in editing at Kabc in Los Angeles, where he edited documentaries and news reports for broadcast in the 1960s.

He then moved into cinema by learning the trade at MGM, where his father had worked, alongside “Grand Prix” Oscar-winning editor Henry Berman. His first feature film project was Alexander Singer’s “Glass Houses,” a 1972 film in which Folsey was editor, cinematographer and producer.

A year later, Folsey was hired to edit John Landis’ debut feature film “Schlock,” a sendup of “King Kong” in which an ape man chased out of his cave wanders into a Southern California neighborhood and develops an unrequited crush on a teen girl.

George Folsey Jr., the veteran film editor behind classic films such as “Coming to America” and “Animal House,” died Dec. 29. He was 84.

Variety learned the news from Folsey Jr.’s son Ryan Folsey, who is also an editor. Folsey Jr. was the son of cinematographer George J. Folsey.

Folsey Jr. collaborated frequently with director John Landis. Over the course of his five-decade career, he went on to edit or co-edit a total of six of Landis’s films which included “Schlock,” “The Blues Brothers” and “Coming to America.”

Furthermore, Folsey Jr. worked with the “Burke and Hare” filmmaker as a second unit director on “Trading Places,” “Into the Night” and “Three Amigos.”

Some of his other editing credits include the “Michael Jackson: Thriller” music video, “Hot Tub Time Machine,” “Clarity,” “Wolf Mountain,” “Just Swipe,” “Summer Rain,” “Despair,” “Freeloaders,” “Chain of Command” and “My Sister.”

In addition to his work as an editor,...

George Folsey Jr., the film editor and producer who collaborated with director John Landis on such films as Animal House, The Blues Brothers, Coming to America and An American Werewolf in London, has died. He was 85.

Folsey died Sunday in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia, his son, fellow film editor Ryan Folsey (Cabin Fever, Renfield), told The Hollywood Reporter.

His father was George J. Folsey, the famed 13-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer whose credits included The Cocoanuts (1929), Animal Crackers (1930), Thousands Cheer (1944), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), The Clock (1945), Green Dolphin Street (1947), Adam’s Rib (1949), Million Dollar Mermaid (1953), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) and Forbidden Planet (1956).

George Folsey Jr. also edited Shawn Levy’s Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) and The Pink Panther (2006) and Eli Roth’s Hostel (2005) and Hostel: Part II (2007).

After cutting Landis’ directorial debut, Schlock (1973), Folsey edited the Landis-helmed The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), Animal House (1978), The Blues Brothers (1980) and Coming to America (1988), which he also produced.

Year 2024 has officially come to a close, which means it’s time to recap some of the best documentaries, and there were a lot.

From the top of the year all the way down to December, the documentary did not disappoint. The world was taken aback after Investigation Discovery released its highly-anticipated four-part docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids of TV,” which details the numerous workplace abuse allegations involving several Nickelodeon shows and former Nick writer-producer Dan Schneider. Plus, we got an inside look at the making of “We Are the World” with Netflix’s “The Greatest Night in Pop,” and we visited wildlife matriarchies across the globe in Disney’s “Queens.”

Beyonce set the stage ablaze in her hometown of Houston during the Ravens vs. Texans game, delivering an unforgettable 13-minute halftime show for Netflix’s Christmas Gameday coverage.

But it wasn’t just her dazzling rhinestone bodysuit and cowboy hat that had fans talking – it was the finger guns she fired during her performance, a gesture that, as many pointed out, is strictly prohibited by the NFL.

The league has a history of fining players for gun-related celebrations, but Beyoncé seemed to get a pass.

One of the most famous Broadway songs ever is “Defying Gravity” from Wicked. Idina Menzel performed the song in the initial production of Wicked, and many people love her version of the song from the musical’s original cast recording. However, Menzel also gave us another rendition of the song that is probably the most misguided cover ever.

Everyone has covered “Defying Gravity,” including Cynthia Erivo in the 2024 Wicked film adaptation.

As a favor, they enroll him in a sleepaway rock 'n' roll camp run by the Rolling Stones.

A new documentary about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has withdrawn from January’s Sundance Film Festival.

Titled “The Six Billion Dollar Man,” director Eugene Jarecki was set to mark the film’s world premiere in Utah next month. The festival routinely screens high-impact nonfiction projects, including recent harrowing docs on Michael Jackson’s sexual assault accusers and the firestorm surrounding alleged sexual misconduct by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh. It’s quite uncommon for films to be voluntarily withdrawn from festival lineups once they are announced.

“The truth is, significant recent and unexpected developments have emerged at the heart of the story which, if not incorporated in the version for Sundance, would not represent a finished film,” Jarecki teased in a vague statement. “Sundance has shaped my career and been a cornerstone of my journey — only something of this magnitude could make me withdraw.”

It’s unclear what events led to the decision.

Lower the lights, close the curtains, and leave one headphone halfway off your ear to detect outside noise because Rory Culkin and Paris Jackson will lead the 1990s-set softcore porn comedy Skinemax. The project comes from Adam Sigal, who directs Skinemax from a script he wrote. Production for Skinemax recently wrapped in Budapest, with the film sounding like it could deliver some blush-worthy laughs.

Skinemax focuses on the softcore porn industry in 1990. You know, the decade when adult film icons like Silvia Saint, Asia Carerra, Peter North, and Jack Napier were the kings and queens of fictitious bedroom gymnastics, and adolescents prayed for scrambled channels to display even a single private part long enough to feel as if they’d won the porn lottery. Yeah, that magical time. The film follows Morgan Sands (Culkin), a failing indie film director, and his unlikely friendship with Jessie Hudson (Jackson), a popular adult film star.

Never pictured Charlie Brown as a younger version of Frank Costanza? Get ready to bask in their mutual holiday misery.

The two blockheads have a lot in common. Charlie Brown detests the overcommercialization of Christmas; Costanza finds tinsel distracting. Both are drawn to aluminum poles. And both have a long list of holiday grievances. “Rats. Nobody sent me a Christmas card today,” grumbles Charlie Brown in the original special. “I almost wish there weren’t a holiday season.”

Complaining about the season is what Costanza’s holiday is all about. “At the Festivus dinner,” he explains, “you gather your family around, and you tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year.”

While A Charlie Brown Festivus is fun, it’s disappointingly short at 33 seconds. Luckily, there are more Charlie Brown Christmas parodies that also deliver the goods.

Nirvana’s Nevermind has just become only the ninth release to spend 700 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. When you eliminate greatest-hits compilations, it’s only the fourth studio LP to achieve that milestone.

The game-changing 1991 album sits at No. 120 on the latest Billboard 200 chart, it’s 700th non-consecutive week on the overall albums tally. As far as studio albums are considered, only Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (990 weeks), Metallica’s “Black Album” (767 weeks), and Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans (706 weeks) top Nirvana’s sophomore LP.

Among the other releases in the Top 9 are greatest-hits collections from Bob Marley and the Wailers (865 weeks), Journey (835 weeks), Creedence Clearwater Revival (724 weeks), Eminem (714 weeks), and Guns N’ Roses (704 weeks).

A treasure hunter discovered unreleased tapes by Michael Jackson, and they must be worth a fortune. But is it a massive windfall for retired California Highway Patrol officer, Gregg Musgrove? Read on to find out.

Michael Jackson Never Released All His Music

Apart from Rosie O’Donnell, millions of people worldwide would give anything to listen to unreleased tapes by the iconic pop star. Although he died in 2009, interest in the “King of Pop” remains extreme. Actually, there are a lot of tapes that were never released, probably because the performer was a perfectionist.

Michael Jackson worked with Bryan Loren, a music producer, and singer. Probably, you recall his involvement in “Dangerous.” Well, The Hollywood Reporter noted that Bryan had a storage unit, but something went wrong and payment on the unit lapsed. Now, a retired California Highway Patrol officer and his friend got lucky. But, there’s a complication.

It was recently announced that the hairy, scaly, and eccentric cast of Pixar's Monsters Inc. will be taking over the Muppet Courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort.

But the familiar characters won't be going too far, as the Muppets have a new home replacing Aerosmith as the star of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at the nearby Sunset Boulevard section of the park."

Loren fell behind on payments, and no one could find him. The buyer had no idea what to do with the contents of the storage unit, so he gave them to Musgrove.

In news that can only be described as a thriller, new tracks from the late King of Pop Michael Jackson have been discovered in a storage unit. On the tapes that were found are a dozen tracks that have never been made available publicly…and may never be.

The Michael Jackson songs are said to have been recorded between 1989 and 1991, which would put them between Bad and Dangerous. Of note here is that the unit in which the tapes were found once belonged to music producer and songwriter Bryan Loren, who collaborated with Jackson around this time. The most memorable song here is undoubtedly The Simpsons hit “Do the Bartman”. So if we could get audio of Michael Jackson singing “Can I Borrow a Feeling?” or “We Do”, that’d be great…While that’s unlikely, there is a song that apparently features Jackson rapping on a duet with LL Cool J....

As it turns out, the King of Pop and the Trashman had a similar philosophy when it came to food and beverage. In retrospect, the former could probably have used a lesson from the latter when it came to, uh, songwriting.

Honestly, the only part of Frank’s lifestyle that could possibly lead to a long and healthy life is his extravagant wealth, which is the only thing I would think Frank had in common with pop-culture demigod Michael Jackson before now. As it turns out, despite their vast and alleged differences in background, behavior, stature and feelings toward kids, Frank and Mj were surprisingly like minded when it came to getting real weird with it — well, at least in one way.

But while Sonny & Cher’s run on the music charts was ending, the duo’s run on television was just beginning. With The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and The Sonny & Cher Show, they gave us six seasons of ’70s-style television variety shows, filled with music, comedy, and Cher’s ostentatious wardrobe (often courtesy of legendary designer Bob Mackie). And on her own, Cher had a two-season run of her own variety show. Between the various shows, she worked with some of the hottest stars of the day. One of the most memorable guest appearances came when The Jacksons visited her solo show, and she performed a medley of the group’s hits, singing and dancing alongside Michael Jackson.

When former California Highway Patrol officer turned stay-at-home dad Gregg Musgrove started “treasure hunting,” the 56-year-old certainly never imagined he’d end up with a king’s bounty — the King of Pop, that is.

A trove of cassette and Dat tapes containing unreleased Michael Jackson tracks were found in a storage unit deep in the San Fernando Valley. Musgrove’s journey to the tapes began when an associate contacted him about a storage unit he’d recently bought in Van Nuys. The unit once belonged to Bryan Loren, a music producer and singer (whose current whereabouts are unknown, according to Musgrove).

On the tapes are 12 unreleased tracks, music Jackson worked on prior to the Dangerous album, around 1989 to 1991.

Just a few years before his lovesick anthem “Lose Control” shot to Number One all across the planet, Teddy Swims was an unknown singer in Atlanta, posting covers of Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson songs on YouTube that showed off his incredible vocal range, and moonlighting as the singer of a hair-metal cover band. But after his stunning rendition of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One” racked up tens of millions of views, Swims signed a deal with Warner Records and started work on his debut LP, I...

Michael Jackson wasn’t just a pop star — he was a phenomenon. But even legends have limits, and his final chapter was far from the glamorous spectacle the world knew him for. His 2009 tour that was set to rake in a staggering $400 million, turned into a crushing burden for a man who’d already given the world everything.

Behind the glitter and moonwalks, Jackson was a human pushed to his breaking point. The relentless pressure to perform, coupled with the greed of an industry that never let up, became too much. His untimely death was the devastating result of a system that prioritized profit over the very person who made it all possible.

Paris prosecutors have requested a five-year prison sentence for filmmaker Christophe Ruggia over sexual assault charges involving actor Adele Haenel when she was a minor, Le Monde reports. Haenel is the star of the Cannes prize-winning film “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” and “Bpm.”

The sentence, requested on Tuesday, includes two years under house arrest with electronic monitoring and three years suspended. Prosecutor Camille Poch said during the hearing that it must “remind us of the forbidden, who was the adult, who was the child, it must set the world straight.”

The case stems from incidents that allegedly occurred when Haenel was between 12 and 14 years old, following her role in Ruggia’s 2001 film “Les Diables” (“The Devils”). The prosecution outlined a pattern of “progressive hold” over Haenel, which included approximately 100 Saturday afternoons spent at Ruggia’s residence until February 2004.

Defense attorney Orly Rezlan pointed to a 2014 letter from Haenel to Ruggia,...

Channel 4 To Spotlight ‘The Trial Of Michael Jackson’

Michael Jackson’s trial will be spotlighted in a Channel 4 doc series from Wonderhood Studios. The Trial of Michael Jackson [working title] will feature contributors who have never spoken before to plot the story of the singer’s 2005 criminal trial alongside his rise to fame and life in the spotlight. It will explore Jackson’s relationship with the media and delve into his life story. In 2005, Jackson went on trial for molesting Gavin Arvizo, who was 13 years old at the time of the alleged abuse. Jackson was acquitted on all counts several months later. Many years on, Channel 4-hbo’s Leaving Neverland aired allegations from two other men of sexual abuse by Jackson when they were boys, and this remains one of the network’s best-performing shows of the past few years. The Trial was commissioned by Channel 4’s senior commissioning editor Anna Miralis and Alisa Pomeroy,...

After nabbing a Golden Globe nomination for his starring turn in A24’s prison theater drama Sing Sing, Colman Domingo spoke with Deadline about his upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, films he’s directing on Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole, his mission as an artist at this stage of his career, and more.

When it came to Michael, Domingo said, “The most special thing was working with Jaafar Jackson, who is Michael Jackson’s nephew. He is a revelation…one of the most gentle and most phenomenal souls.”

To the actor, “It’s as if a piece of Michael Jackson’s talent… I feel like some of that landed on Jaafar Jackson because he’s a revelation, just watching him. I just want to put so much love around him because he’s going to deliver a very complex portrait of one of the greatest performers that have ever walked this planet.

Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran who killed Jordan Neely, a homeless man known as a Michael Jackson impersonator around New York City, was found not guilty on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.

The verdict was reached after four days of deliberations, during which the more serious charge against Penny, second-degree manslaughter, was dismissed. Last Friday morning, Dec. 6, after three days of deliberations, the jury sent Judge Maxwell Wiley a note saying they were deadlocked on the manslaughter charge. While Wiley encouraged the jury to keep deliberating, that afternoon they...

There have been countless "almosts" throughout film history, stories of filmmakers and actors nearly landing movies and roles that went on to make cinema history. There are also a bevy of tales regarding just how different famous movies nearly were, whether it has to do with their stories, their endings, their marketing, and so on. 1989's "Batman" is a flashpoint for all of these kinds of tales, in part because of how long it had been in development, and in part because of how much of a cultural juggernaut it was expected to be (and ended up becoming). There have been all sorts of wild anecdotes about the film's production told over the years, everything from how the ending of the film was partially inspired by Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" to how Prince, George Michael, and Michael Jackson were at one point due to collaborate...
