Family Guy producers are finally talking about that decade-old Kevin Spacey joke that went viral in the wake of the actor’s sexual abuse scandal this fall. In a throwaway moment from a 2005 episode of the animated comedy, Stewie was seen running naked through a mall, screaming, “Help! I’ve escaped from Kevin Spacey’s basement!” During a Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour panel in Pasadena on Thursday, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was asked how he managed to get that line by Fox’s Broadcast and Standards department.

There's a new mayor in town: Sam Elliott has joined the Family Guy voice cast. The beloved baritone-voiced veteran actor who received an Oscar nomination for his work in A Star is Born will make his debut in a November episode of Fox's long-running animated comedy, EW has learned exclusively. He'll be playing a key role: the new Mayor of Quahog, a post that became vacant after Adam West—who played Mayor Adam West in more than 100 episodes—died in 2017.

Famke Janssen, the actress from films like GoldenEye and X-Men and shows like Nip/Tuck and Hemlock Grove, is admittedly not so good at press interviews these days. That's because she rarely does them. "I basically shun the press," Janssen told the Independent in a candid interview about her struggles with fame. "I'm sure you Googled me to try and find some things, but I am super private and realized a long time ago that I don't really like people knowing anything about me.

You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict if André 3000 is going to randomly show up while holding a flute. Last week, Philadelphia residents reported seeing the legendary rapper, born André Lauren Benjamin, out in public, serenading strangers with his musical accouterment. Dayna Allen tweeted that she was at the Los Angeles International Airport on July 7 when someone who looked suspiciously like Benjamin “came up to me playing the flute.

Sixty years after Walt Disney’s animators first set cartoons to classical music, they’ve conjured up seven new sequences for Fantasia 2000. Judging from the often Mickey Mouse results, they may have been too hasty. The short segments range from maddeningly abstract (a swarm of triangular butterflies — or are they bats? — accompanies Beethoven’s Fifth) to charmingly traditional (a Shostakovich-scored adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s toy story, ”The Steadfast Tin Soldier”).

As the final trailer for The Crimes of Grindelwald just revealed, a big name from the Harry Potter books is a major part of the new Fantastic Beasts film. Until now, Warner Bros. hasn't disclosed the name of the character played by South Korean actress Claudia Kim (Marco Polo) in the movie. Kim is none other than Nagini, a circus performer with a unique power who years later becomes Lord Voldemort's trusty killer serpent and Horcrux.

Kitschy, impassioned, tender, and delirious, the wildly overripe Hollywood soap operas made by director Douglas Sirk during the 1950s have long enjoyed a cult following among film buffs. You hardly have to be part of the cult, though, to respond to the rapturous moviemaking magic of Far From Heaven, the bold and brilliant new film by the maverick writer-director Todd Haynes (”Velvet Goldmine,” ”Safe”). From its lovely, too-pristine-to-be-real opening image, a slow, arcing crane shot of a train station viewed under autumn leaves, through its tumultuous tale of a Hartford, Conn.

"Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim," reads the Bertrand Russell quote that opens "East/West." And as Fargo's ninth episode suggests, it's a contest in which the participants have very little control. The camera pans over the ruins of a house, including a copy of The History of True Crime in the West, before settling on a stray page from that tome: "Chapter 7: Liberal Kansas, 1950.

As expected, the Fargo season 1 finale was casualty-filled. And just as we hoped, justice was served—in that very dark and unexpected Fargo way. Episode 10, “Morton’s Fork,” opened with a closing: We hear deep breaths as the camera pans across a snow-filled landscape, focuses on tracks, a fallen snowmobile, mountains … and a hole in the cracked ice. Only an hour later does the significance of the scene become clear.

Vin Diesel got to test drive a new ride on Tuesday, but it wasn’t your typical Fast & Furious-type car. The actor and his co-stars were on hand at Universal Studios Hollywood for the launch of the park’s new Fast & Furious – Supercharged ride. “I know when we were making it, it felt like we were creating something that I had never experienced. We employed all kinds of incredible technology,” the actor said before a ceremony opening the ride.
