While Prison Break began with a relatively simple premise, the story became more complicated over time, with the mysterious Scylla taking center stage. Prison Break's original story covers the escape of the "Fox River Eight" as its central character finds himself over his head while trying to break his falsely accused brother out of prison. The show was so popular that the Prison Break franchise expanded, with multiple seasons, a movie, and a reboot on the horizon. Still, the show began to lose steam as the original plot was overtaken by the government conspiracy angle.
The first season of Prison Break keeps its conspiracy and set-up plot in the background while the main story focuses on the escape plan. Once the main characters have escaped the prison, the show grows too complex for its own good. One of the harshest realities of rewatching Prison Break is how far the...

Kim Kardashian drives a London bus, Idris Elba tends his brassicas and teen mum Greta Thunberg pushes her baby in a pram around the streets of Southend. No, it’s not a fever dream – it’s ITV’s new sketch comedy, Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, which premieres on Thursday (26 January).
A first of its kind, the show uses controversial deep fake technology, better known for making fake news and revenge porn, to put celebrities’ faces onto actors’ bodies as they navigate everyday conflicts with their neighbours.
In the first episode, Elba and Kardashian argue over access to their shared garden in Catford. Meanwhile, in Southend-on-Sea, newly arrived single mother Greta Thunberg complains to the council about the outrageous Christmas decorations left up all year by her neighbours (who just happen to be “florist” Conor McGregor and “scaffolder” Ariana Grande).

Kathy Bates is feeling healthier than she has in years after losing 60 lbs.
During an interview with Extra, the 70-year-old American Horror Story actress opened up about when she knew it was time to make a lifestyle change.
“I was facing diabetes — it runs in my family — and I really didn’t want to live with that,” she said, adding that now she’s “in the best health I’ve been in in years and I’m so grateful — it’s a miracle.”
Bates also shared that she learned a valuable lesson from her niece that helps her to not overeat.

What a job Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti have done with a character that was created for the animated series as Joker’s girlfriend. When you look back at the series and recent books where she is featured with the Joker, you know how dysfunctional and unhealthy the relationship was, like it is with some unfortunate women in the real world. But thanks to the amazing creative team that I just mentioned we now have a strong independent character that day by day needed less of the Joker and more of her friends like Ivy. Through her 30 issues and specials we saw a lot of growth in Harley’s character as well as her good and bad qualities flourish. For example her loyalty to those she considers friends and family and of course if necessary she takes it to a homicidal level if necessary. For most readers she quickly became...

Anna Kendrick recently made a comment insinuating she wasn't exactly the bella of the ball back in her schoolgirl days.

It.s been three and a half years since actress Brittany Murphy passed away at the age of thirty-two. In her wake, she left a ton of classic movies like Clueless and Little Black Book, but apparently, we still have one more left to see. According to The New York Daily News, the movie in question is called Something Wicked. Murphy finished shooting her parts all the way back in 2009, but for a wide variety of reasons, the movie never got edited until very recently and will will make its public debut on April 4 in Eugene, Oregon. Let.s be honest. That doesn.t exactly paint the film in the best light, but there are actually some tangible reasons why this has taken so long.
