Dead End is the embodiment of the old saying “road to nowhere.” In this 2003 horror movie, one unlucky family’s annual trip to grandma’s house doesn’t go according to plan. What awaits these unsuspecting characters is a series of events that will steer them straight into the unknown. It’s one hell of a Christmas in this macabre holiday tale, which stirs up uncertainty and unrest as the pavement stretches on forever.
Dead End first showed up on video-store shelves around 2004 after enjoying great success at multiple film festivals. Made on a low budget of less than a million dollars and with a small cast of actors, this California-shot yet French-financed horror-comedy has, strangely enough, yet to be reissued on a physical media format higher than DVD. Nevertheless, it remains a cult favorite all these years later. The colorful dialogue, the progressively unnerving atmosphere, and the ensemble of...

While fans of the series are watching his half-hearted attempts at reconciling with Janelle Brown play out on the screen, in the present day, Kody is courting a potential new wife. At least, that’s what the latest social media rumors suggest. For weeks, gossip suggests Kody is trying to woo a young woman he met at a Las Vegas casino.

Granger Smith was thinking about retiring from music for months before his recent announcement.
The country singer took to Instagram earlier this month to confirm he’d be taking a step back from music to pursue ministry and serve his family’s church.
During a chat with Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante, Smith said of how long he’d been thinking about retiring, “I probably knew for sure around October 2022. So I had a long time to think about it. And the longer the time went by, the more sure I was of it. And then probably around New Year’s… I knew it’s time to tell the band, time to tell the crew and start the ball rolling.”

I have been down this road with Dr. D for two Celebrity Rehabs and a Sober House, and — to use the most common pun possible for this show — I'm addicted. The dilemma I always face in watching his shows is that I can never decide whether it's exploitative or not. Do you remember, from when you were kids, the "That's good/that's bad" story? Someone would tell a long shaggy dog...

Here's the problem with these rehab-on-tv shows: They are showing rehab. On TV. Um, most sobriety programs have "anonymous" in their names for a reason. Because anonymity is a key aspect of getting over addictions, which means television might make the process a bit tougher. VH1's Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew becomes the latest semi-serious attempt to depict the process of overcoming addiction. And with its Sunday premiere, the series, like Celebrity Rehab before it, achieved the same odd combination of attacking important issues and allowing a salacious look at people who seem far worse off than most of us.

Gary Busey, rocker Steven Adler and 1980s pin-up Tawny Kitaen will join Grease star Jeff Conaway for the second season of hardhitting U.S. reality show Celebrity Rehab.
Conaway, who quit the show's first season days before his treatment was complete, revealed he was returning to the show to kick his dependency of painkillers on the red carpet at the TV Land Awards at the weekend.
Busey and the others seeking the help of TV psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky checked into the televised rehab on Monday.
Busey, who claims 13 years of sobriety, is not among the troubled souls on the show - the actor has been hired to help the group members through the recovery process.
Joining Conaway, Adler and Kitaen on the show are model Amber Smith, Rod Stewart's son Sean and Rodney King, whose televised police beating in 1992 sparked the Los Angeles riots.
The intense 21-day program will be filmed and aired on VH1 in October.
The first season of Celebrity Rehab featured Conaway, Daniel Baldwin, Brigitte Nielsen and wrestler Chyna.
