The first trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) was very promising. The second trailer has now arrived, and Birds of Prey still looks awesome. Full Story

All right… let’s do this.  I even cracked my knuckles in anticipation.  Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘best dressed’ as…  Yeah, yeah, okay. Tired joke.

And she too has written her own essays for fashion magazines. Angelina junketed for First They Killed My Father though and with Maleficent coming up, given that she’s the title character, and it’s Disney, I wonder what her press tour will look like. Full Story
