Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston was totally a club kid There was a picture that traveled the electrical circuit, of Tom Hiddleston on a night off during Thor 2’s production, which was the basis of my #1 question to ask Hiddles, should I ever get the chance.

Shia LaBeouf Shia LaBeouf: GOOD for Gossip Shia LaBeouf, Noted Weirdo, got into a kerfuffle in London.

TV Updates Halle Berry got a TV show (and a baby) One of the early career prospectuses featured Halle Berry, and I maintained that her taste level in choosing projects is questionable at best—for someone who’s won an Oscar and is generally considered very talented, she makes a lot of bad movies. Maybe she’ll have better luck on By Sarah • Oct 07, 2013 11:42 am

The Bridge The Bridge 1.13: “We need to fix this” The Bridge, Season 1 Episode 13 recap I’m not sure I’ve seen a more frustrating first season than that of The Bridge.

Movie Reviews and Previews Elizabeth Olsen is the newest Avenger It was supposed to be Saoirse Ronan. Marvel wanted it to be Saoirse Ronan. But she passed and Marvel moved on.
