Madonna opened up to UK’s The Sun recently about her “shocking sense of disbelief” following the sudden passings of Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston. “It had not been a secret,” she said, “the struggles Amy had been through — both brilliant, brilliant artists and obviously both huge losses,” she said. “But when these things happen, I’m always shocked by the first thing you say, ‘It’s such a loss,’ which doesn’t quite cover it.

Forty years into her legendary career, Madonna played to her largest audience ever with a free concert at Copacabana beach Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro that drew 1.6 million people. The concert was the pop diva's final show of her Celebration Tour, which kicked off in October and wound its way through 81 dates and 15 countries. Previously, Madonna's biggest show was 130,000 people at Paris’ Parc des Sceaux in 1987.

Madonna doesn't seem to be feeling true blue over a recent lawsuit filed by two New York City men who weren't happy after one of the shows for her Celebration tour began roughly two hours after the start time listed on their tickets. "The shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue Dec. 13 during soundcheck," tour company Live Nation and Madonna's management said in a statement.

Whether it was Skyler on Breaking Bad, Rita on Dexter, Lori on The Walking Dead, or Margaret on Boardwalk Empire, TV wives often seem to be on the receiving end of a lot of hate, even when their on-screen husbands are often guilty of much worse crimes. So it was not altogether surprising when many Sons of Anarchy fans set their sights — and vitriol — on Jax Teller’s wife Tara.

Anthony Horowitz has a murder to solve. In The Word is Murder, one of the author’s most audacious experiments to date, a brilliant but nettlesome detective by the name of Daniel Hawthorne investigates the unusual death of one Diana Cowper, strangled to death mere hours after visiting an undertaker to plan her own funeral. As to who is Hawthorne’s unwitting (and somewhat unwilling) sidekick on the case? It’s none other than Horowitz himself, summoned by Hawthorne to shadow him and write a book about the investigation.

Long before he became a two-time Oscar winner, Mahershala Ali's first major film role came in 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button — but he almost had to turn it down. On an episode of Common's podcast Mind Power Mixtape, Ali revealed that he refused to perform a planned sex scene with his costar Taraji P.

When was it, precisely, that Charlie Sheen began his transformation from promising second-generation leading man to a curiosity of bathos? For me, it was a moment in 1987’s Wall Street, the second film Sheen made for director Oliver Stone (their first project together, Platoon, was the one that earned Sheen the ”promising” tag). Sheen’s character, a kid from decent working-class stock, has been making hand-over-fist cash through insider trading, and some lifestyle changes ensue.

As the bodycount rises, it is ultimately, and shockingly, revealed that Emily is sharing her skull with a "teratoma," a type of tumor which can contain muscle and bone.
