A fun piece of trivia: one of J.J. Abrams' first professional gigs was writing the music for Don Dohler's 1982 horror cheapie "Nightbeast." Dohler, as B-movie fans might know, is the creative mind behind "The Alien Factor" and "Galaxy Invader," movies that were filmed mostly in the woods. Abrams has since become one of the preeminent makers of big-budget mainstream blockbusters, so it's fun to picture him as a teen handing over tapes to a hard-working schlockmeister like Dohler.

Abrams stuck with it, though, and eventually sold a film treatment to screenwriter Paul Mazursky when he was still in college. That treatment became Arthur Hiller's 1990 comedy "Taking Care of Business" with Jim Belushi. Abrams continued to rise through the ranks of Tinseltown from there, penning the scripts for films like "Regarding Henry," "Forever Young," and, uh, "Gone Fishin'." By the early 2000s, Abrams had enough clout to launch...

Lately, Sister Wives star, Christine Brown Woolley has been on a huge health kick. However, some fans are quizzing her about how she losing weight so quickly. Additionally, others are asking about the “magical” elixir that is somehow letting her melt the weight off.

Each proves that they are taking control of their lives and pressing on. All in all, the three former Brown wives are glowing with possibility and newfound health. While they are each looking more and more healthy by the day, Christine is getting many questions about how she has transformed her body so drastically from before.

Bubba Ho-Tep offers a unique take on Elvis Presley's life, with a twist that sets it apart from other biopics. Bruce Campbell pays tribute to the anniversary of Presley's death by reflecting on the surreal nature of portraying the late singer at the same age as when he died. Despite lacking Presley's iconic music due to budget constraints, Bubba Ho-Tep remains a cult classic in the horror genre.

As the late singer enjoys a surge in popularity amid multiple recent biopics, Bruce Campbell reflects on playing Elvis Presley in Bubba Ho-Tep. The Evil Dead star led the cast of the 2002 horror-comedy as Presley, who actually swapped places with an impersonator after becoming disillusioned with stardom, and now lives in a Texas retirement home, where no one believes he's the real Elvis. When the residents of the retirement home become the target of a revived mummy, Elvis and a...

"He's ready to rock!" Giant Pictures has debuted an official trailer for an absolutely terrible, worse-then-The-Asylum movie called Elvis From Outer Space, from directors M. Z. Silverman & Tracy Wuischpard. Everyone likes to laugh at this kind of junk, so why not post it anyway. The King of Rock n' Roll space clone has blasted into Vegas from the far side of the universe to compete in an Elvis impersonation contest against the best in town. But just as he is on the verge of Taking Care of Business, he mysteriously vanishes. Who's behind the disappearance? Any guesses? Maybe it was... aliens?! Who knows. Starring George Thomas, David Heavener, Barry Ratcliffe, Diane Yang, Robert Miano, Frank Cavestani, Lauren Elaine, and Sonny West. I'm ashamed to even promote this film, but I hope no one wastes any actual money on it. Here's the first official trailer for Silverman & Wuischpard's Elvis From Outer Space,...

Hey, "The Voice" fans. Tonight, November 26, 2019, another results/elimination show did indeed air. The judges: Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Gwen Stefani were, of course, on hand. Tonight's Live results show kicked off with the final 11 contestants hitting the stage for their first round of results. It was revealed that Jake Hoot won the streaming bonus for the second straight week in a row. After that, host Carson Daly revealed that Ricky Duran of Team Blake and Kadie Kadan of Team John Legend are safe this week. America voted them through to the next round, which is the top 10. Next, Team John Legend: Katie Kadan, Will Breman and Marybeth Byrd hit the stage to sing a rendition of "How Deep Is Your Love." Right after that, Carson revealed that Rose Short of Team Gwen and Jake Hoot of Team Kelly are safe this week. So, they're in the top 10. Next,...

D’oh! Just shy of the Top 10, The Voice unplugged the mic on one more of its Season 17 contestants Tuesday. Based on Monday’s mixed bag of performances by the Top 11 — and your responses in the poll that followed TVLine’s recap — the singer likeliest to be silenced seemed to be Team Kelly Clarkson’s Shane Q.

But, of course, Shane had already surprised us a couple of times: first by being his coach’s Save in the Live Playoffs (over the superior Hello Sunday), then by avoiding the Bottom Three altogether during Dedication Week. What was the rest of...

Two of the Top 11 artists remaining on “The Voice” will be on the hot seat Tuesday night. They will perform for an Instant Save from the public. One will go home, while the other joins the Top 10 for next week’s shows. Who will be the safe ones to make the Top 10 for Season 17?

This one-hour results recap installment of the NBC reality program features six-time coaching champ Blake Shelton, two-time winner Kelly Clarkson, reigning coaching winner John Legend and returning coach Gwen Stefani.

Here are the Top 11 from Monday’s episode and the songs chosen by the fans for all of the contenders:

Katie Kadan (Team Legend) — “Without You”

Kat Hammock (Team Blake) — “I’ll Fly Away”

Shane Q (Team Kelly) — “Mercy”

Joana Martinez (Team Gwen) — “Dreaming of You”

Will Breman (Team Legend) — “Light My Fire”

Rose Short (Team Gwen) — “Maybe I’m Amazed”

The Simpsons are up to their usual monkey business, but don't go ape on season 31, episode 5, Gorillas on the Mast.

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers.

The Simpsons Season 31 Episode 5

The Simpsons, season 31, episode 5, "Gorillas on the Mast," pits the joys of altruism against the pleasures of self-interest and, oddly for the series, beneficence wins. The sad news is it is at the cost of the humor.

Latter day Simpsons episodes are increasingly front-heavy. They chum the water with dollops of brilliance, like asking Groundskeeper Willie to help free a whale, which is a pointed but subtle reference to the 1993 screen classic Free Willy, or watching him play air bagpipes, but haven't been landing the big catch. Too many of the last few seasons' entries peak during the first segments. "Gorillas on the Mast" ships two subplots, Homer buying a boat and Bart and Lisa freeing vicious animals.

Metallica were halfway into their rain-drenched set at Manchester, England’s Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night when James Hetfield handed the stage over to bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett. “These two guys like to get up to no good and have fun and come up with fun little songs to play for you all,” Hatfield said. “I have no idea what’s going to happen, so enjoy the unknown.”

“We’re playing local music tonight celebrating the music of this city,” Trujillo told the audience. “You’ve got...

One of Elvis Presley's beloved pieces -- a Smith & Wesson -- can be yours, but it's gonna take a king's ransom to get it! See what we did there?  Elvis' .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Chief Special revolver is now for sale through Moments in Time -- and it's going for a whopping $95,000 ... first come, first served. The gun was originally purchased by The King himself at a Memphis gun shop in 1971 ... where the paperwork shows...

The king is back, in spirit anyway.

The Guesthouse at Graceland, a new 450-room hotel near Elvis’s famous Tennessee estate welcomes visitors starting Sunday. People spoke with Priscilla Presley about the new property, which she oversaw and helped design.

“We never had a guesthouse ,” Priscilla recalls of her former home. “Elvis didn’t really have any rooms for anyone to stay. The closest hotel was a Howard Johnson and, whenever we had friends over, that’s where they would stay.”

Until this week, visitors to the historic home, which opened to the public in 1982, could expect similar accommodations to those Elvis himself offered,...

A punchline for more than 100 years, the Chicago Cubs’ historic World Series drought has made its way into a number of iconic small screen moments. Frankly, we’re all hoping the jokes come to a definitive end in 2016 (Go Cubs Go!), and just in case that happens, we’ve compiled a list of the most memorable pop culture references and predictions from the last century. Enjoy the jokes while you can — hopefully, just a few more days.

Before he hit big with Star Wars and Star Trek, Jj Abrams was penning films such as Forever Young, Regarding Henry and Armageddon...

Jj Abrams is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood right now. Over his career in the movies, he's written, directed, produced, acted and played a wicked keyboard solo on Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions, and through his production company Bad Robot, his name is counted among the credits of massive franchises like Cloverfield, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek and of course Star Wars. He's more of a household name than most filmmakers of his generation and we sometimes wish we wanted anything as much as he wants that Steven Spielberg status.

You can't blame him when you hear about his first paid job in the film industry. Returning a bunch of Spielberg's personal super-8 home movies that he discovered after his...

Arthur Hiller was never the coolest filmmaker in the room. He leaves behind a list of films that were genuinely loved by audiences and an ocean of collaborators and friends who speak of him in glowing terms, and honestly, as a storyteller, what more could anyone ask? There’s certainly some cachet in the idea that you’re breaking new ground stylistically or you’re doing things that other people are ripping off or you’re part of some formal movement of deconstructionists. I like plenty of filmmakers who chase cool like it is oxygen, necessary for their entire existence. Arthur Hiller, though, was a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and he made movies that spoke to his optimistic view of who we could be as people, shot through with just a hint of cynicism at times. My personal favorite of his movies is The In-Laws, which I just rewatched a few weeks ago.

They came via hyperdrive and warp speed, and even by New Jersey Transit, these devotees of Stars both Trek and Wars to mix with the high-rolling, arts-underwriting swells at a benefit performance for the Montclair Film Festival. But mostly, these disciples of sci-fi's top-shelf franchises made a pilgrimage to the Garden State to watch Stephen Colbert host a two-hour "celebrity nerd-off" with director J.J. Abrams, just three-and-a-half weeks before the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you listened closely on Saturday night, you could hear a million-ish...

J.J. Abrams will hibernate soon: In less than one month the sleep-deprived director’s Force Awakens finally premieres. But there’s still time for a few more plugs. At the annual fundraising centerpiece for the Montclair Film Festival — which kicks off at the end of April — Abrams joined Stephen Colbert at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s main hall Saturday night for an extensive celebrity nerd-off in front of an audience of nearly 2,800. The 90-plus-minute discussion summarized the Bad Robot honcho’s rise from script doctor to sci-fi hotshot, included loads of Abrams-Colbert trivia (the latter auditioned for the former’s first script, which became Taking Care of Business), and somehow managed to provide even more fuel for the Star Wars hype machine. Read on for the highlights (and one unrelated gem):1. The Force Awakens is basically done.On Saturday morning, “at 2:30 in the morning, we finished the mix of the movie,...

The Equalizer – a movie that desperately tries to spin Denzel Washington’s role as something wholly new and inventive, yet anyone familiar with one of Hollywood’s most established talents will know exactly the kind of performance Washington brings to Robert McCall. In what could essentially be a prequel to Man On Fire, director Antoine Fuqua creates a “different kind of superhero” by remaking a 1980s television series that originally starred Edward Woodward, finding a hero who lets his actions speak louder than words ever could. Denzel is a tight-lipped badass who knows his way around a home improvement store, but The Equalizer sets out to be something more than another action-centric thriller – an achievement that borders success long enough to hold our attention.

While updating the episodic source material, Fuqua does ensure that a subtle 80s vibe is kept in the sense of McCall’s Terminator-esque attitude. Denzel goes...

After seven seasons replete with bloodshed, tears and enough drama to fuel a telenovela, Sons Of Anarchy’s reign has finally come to an end. Attempting to sum up whether or not creator Kurt Sutter did the show justice isn’t the biggest query at stake here. The more important question to be answered is: did he see off the boys of Samcro with the showy farewell they all deserved? Whatever that may be.

Whether or not you have become repulsed by Jax’s behaviour in the last… well, since the show began, his devil-may-care attitude has wooed half the ladies of Charming and a flock of dedicated Soa fans. With that in mind, it stands to reason that his inevitable romanticized downfall would be squeezed for every inch of drama. The decision to over-extend this season to practically 90-minute episodes has been lambasted, but for the finale – all is forgiven,...

Taking care of business in New York City, Andrew Garfield strolled around Soho on Wednesday afternoon (November 19).

The “Amazing Spider-Man” star bundled up in a cozy winter coat and looked almost unrecognizable with his long beard and sunglasses.

In related news, Andrew may not be hitting the big screen as the web slinger for a third time due to poor reception of the second installment.

According to reports, if Sony’s “Sinister Six” doesn’t perform well, they may consider sending “Spider-Man” to Marvel to finish up the franchise.

Quality be damned – you put Denzel Washington in an action-thriller, and audiences will turn out in droves. Such was the case this past September with The Equalizer, which received decent reviews but slayed the competition at the box office, having the biggest R-rated September debut of all time and eventually grossing $186.6 million. Now, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that it will be bringing The Equalizer to Blu-Ray just in time for the new year.

The Digital HD release will take place on December 16th, with the Blu-Ray and DVD both touching down two weeks later on December 30th. The Blu-Ray will boast a 1080p video transfer as well as an English DTS-hd Master Audio 7.1 track, a Uv code and a digital copy. The special features were also detailed.

In March a friend of mine got married in Puerto Rico, I had been working out regularly leading up to the trip, but after I got home I haven't been to the gym anywhere near as regularly. In fact, over the last three months I haven't exercised much outside of walking the dog. This leads to this past Sunday, knowing I needed to get back into the gym I was on the search for a new workout. All my life I have worked out and lifted weights for bulk rather than... restrict paid="true" ...lean muscle, which makes it hard to get back into lifting, especially when years of basketball have essentially destroyed my ankles and weakened my knees. So, I found a workout worth trying, it targeted everything I was looking to focus on and wouldn't put an extreme amount of stress on my knees and what exercises do put stress on my knees,...

Taking care of business in the California sunshine, Alessandra Ambrosio headed to a meeting in Beverly Hills on Tuesday (April 15).

The Victoria's Secret Angel looked cute in a denim jacket, light romper, and black flats as she gave a quick smile and wave before entering the building.

Over the weekend, the 33-year-old model had a blast at the 2014 Coachella Festival, posting plenty of pics for her fans.

With one final farewell snapshot, Alessandra tweeted, "What an awesome @coachella weekend!!! #Coachella2014 #musicfestival #aleforplanetblue #foreveronvacation."...

Taking care of business early in the week, Reese Witherspoon dropped by her office in Beverly Hills on Monday (April 7).

The "Sweet Home Alabama" star looked cute in a bright yellow sweater, black patterned shorts, and a black hat as she headed out into the sunshine.

Recently, the 38-year-old actress took a bit of a Spring Break with her family in the Bahamas, where she shared a peek at the fun.

This past weekend, Reese posted a gorgeous photo of herself and little boy Tennessee sitting side-by-side in the surf with the caption, "Perfect Day."...

Mazursky and Decio are represented by Untitled Entertainment and Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal Laviolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman.

Taking care of business with her twin sister, newly-engaged Mary Kate Olsen left an office building in New York City on Monday (March 3).

The "Full House" star showed off her new bling as she headed outside while her talented twin Ashley Olsen stayed by her side.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, late last month the half-brother of the former French president popped the question to the pint-sized media mogul.

They may have a 17-year age gap, but the two have been going strong since spotted together back in 2012. Previously, Olivier was married to Charlotte Bernard, with whom he shares two children.

Taking care of business for her brood, Naomi Watts went out to do some shopping at a Los Angeles Target on Thursday (January 16).

The "Diana" starlet was cute in a black tank top, red pants and a pair of designer sandals as she selected her groceries and went on her merry way.

In related news, the 45-year-old bombshell is working on an impressive list of movies, and the soonest to released is a comedy named "Birdman," set for release this year.

According to the synopsis, "A washed-up actor who once played an iconic superhero must overcome his ego and family trouble as he mounts a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim his past glory."...

Taking care of business in sunny Beverly Hills, Reese Witherspoon attended a business meeting on Thursday (January 16).

According to the synopsis, "Life changes for a thirty-something career woman when a coin she threw in a magic fountain as a girl finally reaches the bottom."...

Jj Abrams now runs the world's two biggest sci-fi franchises. So what's he doing venturing into literature? Stuart Kelly goes looking for clues

The Übergeek. The Boy With All the Toys. The Lord of the Nerds. It might seem as if the most significant achievement of Jeffrey Jacob "Jj" Abrams, screenwriter, actor, producer, director, composer and author, is to have made fanboy culture part of the mainstream. But the publication of "his" first novel – more on those inverted commas anon – also shows that the avant garde and the experimental are in the ascendant. The fusion of popular culture and continental philosophy – works which are as au fait with Foucault as with the Flash, Boba Fett and Baudrillard, Kierkegaard and Kirk – are everywhere, from the novels of China Miéville, Michael Chabon and Scarlett Thomas, to the comics work of Grant Morrison and Mike Carey, to TV shows such as Agents of Shield.

Taking care of business on both sides of the world, Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney Kardashian had plenty going on this week.

The “Disaster Movie” actress showed up at Roissy Airport in Paris, France this morning (October 2) to catch a flight back to Los Angeles following a fun visit to Paris Fashion Week.

Meanwhile, Kourtney treated her son Mason Disick to some mother-son bonding while filming scenes for “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in Thousand Oaks on Tuesday (October 1).

Mama Kardashian and her boy ran errands and chatted as the cameras rolled and fans looked on from afar.

Taking care of business even on the weekend, Miranda Kerr left Milk Studios in New York City on Saturday (September 14).

The Aussie beauty wore a patterned sheer blouse, blue jeans, and black flats as she headed back outside after her visit.

Just the day before, the 30-year-old model took some time off for some Big Apple fun with the family.

Joined by her parents, Miranda took her son Flynn to the park where she held tight to the tot as they went down the slide together.

Taking care of business on a beautiful day in L.A., Kristen Stewart stopped by Wells Fargo bank on Thursday (August 15).

The "Twilight" star wore a white v-neck T-shirt that she tied in a knot at her waist, ripped jeans, and a baseball cap with "Mercenaries" on it.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, the 23-year-old actress may be going back to school as she reportedly just enrolled at UCLA.

Signing up for an English Lit class, sources say KStew will take it by correspondence, so she can keep acting while getting an education.

Generally, screenwriting is reserved for a thankless group of nerds who spend most of their waking hours making "Star Wars" references and lamenting their low position on the Hollywood totem pole.

But once in a while, the ladies and gentlemen behind the scripts end up becoming household name ... or move on from other successful careers to take a stab at screenwriting. And whether it's to make a buck, help out a buddy or take on a new challenge, these scribes sometimes end up scoring some pretty unexpected gigs.

So, upon the revelation that titan of twist M. Night Shyamalan was allegedly though perhaps wasn't after all involved in writing "She's All That" (1999), a movie about how beautiful women become even more beautiful when they take off their glasses and wear their hair down, we've assembled a list of some other well-known writers whose names are attached to some surprising projects.

Cinelinx knows as long as we've got each other, and the Growing Pains Season 3 DVD set, we've got the world spinning right in our hands.

This Warner Archive release is a Manufacture-On-Demand (Mod) DVD. It is made to be played in "play only" DVD devices, and may not play in some DVD recorders or PC drives.

Taking care of business after voicing support for his partner earlier this week, Brad Pitt left a meeting in Los Angeles on Wednesday (May 15).

The "Fight Club" star wore a long-sleeved black v-neck, black pants, and aviator sunglasses as he stepped out into the sunshine.

On Monday, the 49-year-old actor's longtime partner Angelina Jolie wrote about her choice to have a double mastectomy in the New York Times.

Speaking to London's Evening Standard, Brad praised the mother of their six children, saying, "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus."...

The director took some flak after his first Trek film by admitting he wasn't a fan of the TV series. Now, back with another one, does he regret what he said? And what plans does he have for his first Star Wars movie?

When Jj Abrams was handed the task of revitalising the Star Trek franchise in 2006, the portents were not good. His first directing job, Mission: Impossible III, had not been finished, he had a string of script commissions behind him of variable quality – including Michael Bay's infamous asteroid-masher Armageddon. He had small-screen chops for sure, earned via successful series Alias and Lost, but many a TV guy has stumbled when attempting to deliver proper cinema. Now, seven years later, Abrams is king of the Hollywood heap: sitting on billions of dollars in box office, a second Star Trek film poised for release, and a deal up his...

Taking care of business on a sunny weekday, Gerard Butler headed to a meeting in Century City, California on Thursday (April 18).

The "Olympus Has Fallen" star looked handsome in a long-sleeved gray sweater, dark jeans, black shoes, and aviator sunglasses as he made his way inside.

Though flying solo today, the 44-year-old actor recently spoke to Shortlist Magazine about his faithful furry companion, Lolita.

Sharing some of the not-so pleasant experiences of dog ownership, Gerard said, "I know it’s not politically correct to buy a dog from a pet store, but there was this one dog asleep with one eye open and its tongue hanging out. I pulled her out and she started biting the sh-t out me. I was going to leave but I couldn’t stop myself, so I bought her and we immediately started putting cigarettes in her mouth and all that stuff – not lit, of...

The director has covered most genres in his wildly successful work in the cinema and on TV. But it is as king of the blockbuster that he will reign with the release of the new Star Trek, before he turns his talents to the latest Star Wars movie

Hollywood loves to categorise people. As every actor and director knows, it is all too easy to get pigeonholed on the back of a single successful film or an early role taken purely to pay the bills. Inside many daytime soap stars are Shakespeareans longing to play Hamlet. Perhaps some of the best action film directors, in their dark moments of the soul, will be kept awake at night by a gnawing urge to direct a low-budget independent film of deep artistic worth.

This is, after all, the industry that developed the star system, whose scripts are ruthlessly fine-tuned to appeal to...
