With clips like the one in which Martin Landau channels Vincent Price, it’s hard not to wonder if Tim Burton’s upcoming 3D stop-motion film Frankenweenie (Oct. 5), about a boy who reanimates his dead dog, might be a little frightening. Burton says there’s nothing to worry about. “Kids are funny and they are all so different. I don’t think this movie is scary at all. I think it is fine for kids,” the director said at the movie’s Hollywood premiere last night.

I’m having a relaxed lakeside conversation with country music superstar Tim McGraw. The only problem is, we’re indoors, and the body of water in question is fresh… very fresh. ”Did he just pee right there?” asks McGraw, suddenly straightening on the leather couch in his Nashville rehearsal space. The members of McGraw’s longtime band, the Dancehall Doctors, look up, puzzled. ”Over there, right in front of you,” McGraw says, pointing out the puddle on the floor.

Gone are the days of the studio system, when stars were put through rigorous training — some might say light torture — to shine their very brightest. But one movie star who refuses to dim his light is Tom Cruise. Famous for still doing his own extreme stunts at an age when most people are contemplating retiring, Cruise is like a modern-day Errol Flynn...without the debilitating alcoholism. And in that grand tradition of Old Hollywood, Cruise passed on some of his hard-earned knowledge from his many years in the game to a young Timothée Chalamet.

Ron Shelton’s Tin Cup has a genial, funky charm. It’s like Shelton’s great 1988 romantic baseball comedy, Bull Durham, only mellower. Set in the world of professional golf, the most relaxed — you could say laziest — of all major sports, the movie gives off a leisurely, sun-dappled glow, and it provides Kevin Costner with the kind of role that reminds you once again why he’s a star. It’s been easy to forget what a charismatic sly-dog actor Costner is, because he seems to spend most of his time in overproduced behemoths like Waterworld or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, movies in which he comes off as a depressed surf bum.

Still missing 30 Rock? Quit your blerging—Tina Fey and Rock showrunner Robert Carlock have teamed up again for a new series, debuting this March on Netflix, about a naive thirtysomething (Ellie Kemper) who moves to the Big Apple after escaping the doomsday cult she belonged to for 15 years. Once there, Kimmy moves in with an aspiring singer (Tituss Burgess, whom 30 Rock fans may recognize as Queen of Jordan sidekick D'Fwan) and starts working as a nanny for a girl named Xanthippe (Dylan Gelula)—whose mother is played by another Rock alum (Jane Krakowski).

Tina Turner is mourning the loss of her son Ronnie Turner, who died Thursday at 62. In a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a solemn black-and-white image of herself, the legendary singer, 83, wrote, "Ronnie, you left the world far too early. In sorrow I close my eyes and think of you, my beloved son." Ronnie was the son of Tina and and Ike Turner, the latter of whom died in 2007.

On Monday, the superhero series revealed our first look at Jason's Red Hood supersuit. Designed by costume designer Laura Jean ("LJ") Shannon, the suit honors how the character is traditionally depicted in the pages of DC Comics. Check out the images below. For the show's first two seasons, Jason was known as the new Robin, having picked up the mantle after Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) abandoned the sidekick life; however, at the end of season 2, he had a falling out with the Titans and set off on his own.

Todd Chrisley has suffered another legal loss. The former Chrisley Knows Best star, who is currently incarcerated after being found guilty of financial fraud, has been ordered to pay $755,000 to Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Amy Doherty-Heinze after slandering her on podcasts and social media. An eight-person Georgia jury on Thursday found Chrisley, 55, liable for two claims of libel and slander but not liable on a third claim of slander.

Joaquin Phoenix does not half-ass his work. He's using his whole ass, which may be even more apt considering the project he's working on with beloved queer auteur Todd Haynes. At Cannes, Haynes was discussing his next film, "a gay love story set in 1930s L.A.," that he developed with the Oscar-winning actor. "The next film is a feature that's an original script that I developed with Joaquin Phoenix based on some thoughts and ideas he brought to me,"

Todd Phillips wished the internet a Merry Christmas with new images from Joker: Folie à Deux starring Joaquin Phoenix reprising his Oscar-winning role and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. "Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a beautiful new year. Oct 2024 #Joker2" the director wrote on Instagram alongside two new shots. The first photo in the grid sees Phoenix's Arthur Fleck through what appears to be a cell window with the number "
