The road to DC FanDome begins here! In the days leading up to the second annual free virtual fan event — which returns Saturday, Oct. 16, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT — EW will be debuting exclusive new looks at DC Entertainment's forthcoming projects. Today, Robins creators Tim Seeley and Baldemar Rivas give us the lowdown on their new comic. Batman comic readers can't get enough of Robin. The Dark Knight's colorful sidekick has been mostly excised from recent big-screen adaptations — absent from the upcoming Robert Pattinson film, referred to only as a pun in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and a fallen comrade in Zack Snyder's movies — but when DC Comics created a round robin tournament earlier this year where fans could vote on which 16 comic pitches they'd like to see turned into a new series, Robins won handily.
The Emmy Awards are under fire for including former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, who resigned last year amid numerous sexual harassment allegations, in this year’s In Memoriam segment. Ailes, who was accused of sexual harassment by more than 20 women (claims he denied), died in May at age 77 and was featured in the Emmys In Memoriam alongside such television legends as Adam West, Don Rickles, Debbie Reynolds, Jerry Lewis, Florence Henderson, and much more.
Ever since the first teaser for Rogue One featured actor Alistair Petrie as a stern Rebel leader, reading off a list of offenses committed by the captive Jyn Erso, fans have wondered: Who is that guy? The stately woman in the white caftan is Rebel ruler Mon Mothma, played by Genevieve O’Reilly this time, although the character was first seen marshaling the troops in Return of the Jedi when Caroline Blakistan had the part.

Rose McGowan isn't holding back. The actress, known for speaking her mind, takes things to a new level in her deeply personal new book Brave, which gives readers an uncensored look at her personal life—including her triumphs and tribulations. From the emotional abuse she says she suffered on film sets to details of her alleged sexual assault at the hands of Harvey Weinstein and the truth behind her plastic surgery, McGowan exposes what she says is Hollywood's exploitation of young actresses.
Roseanne Barr is back in the news for making incendiary comments. During a guest appearance on comedian Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast, Barr made jokes about the Holocaust that circulated on social media and sparked outrage. Days after the clip went viral, YouTube has determined that the podcast episode violates its policies prohibiting hate speech. The video version of the podcast is no longer available on YouTube. In its place is a message that reads, "
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will probably never win an Oscar, at least to judge by her pouting non-performance in the latest Michael Bay robo-stravaganza, which I believe was called Transformers: Dark of the Moon River Wider Than a Mile. But to be fair, Charles Laughton did win an Oscar, and for all of Charles Laughton’s incredible acting talent, no one ever begged Charles Laughton to pose for an advertisement wearing nothing but a trenchcoat.
There’s a new resident in Roswell, New Mexico. The CW has announced that Justina Adorno is joining the cast of the extraterrestrial drama in a recurring role when the show returns for its second season in early 2020. Making her first appearance in episode 2 of season 2, Adorno plays Steph who, according to the network, is a “witty, sharp-tongued, well-educated young woman, who isn’t afraid to express her opinions — even though they tend toward controversial in some circles.
Warning: This post contains spoilers from the series finale of Roswell, New Mexico. For the most part, everyone on Roswell, New Mexico got a happy ending. (Sure, a couple key players ended up on another planet, but hopefully not forever.) And yet, the season 4 finale wasn't intended to be the series' end. When the drama was canceled back in May, the writers had just enough time to make what showrunner Chris Hollier calls "
A great many actors have played nerds, dorks, freaks, and geeks. But when Alex Karpovsky first popped up in movies like Tiny Furniture and Beeswax, I thought: Now, there’s a geek. With his owl-eyed stare, his slightly bulgy upper lip, and the personality of an overly articulate noodge, Karpovsky came off as an intellectual dork not out of central casting but right out of reality. He seemed an idiosyncratic actor even by indie standards.
