A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out,...

Not only did a 22-year-old graduate from college cum laude, she did it while holding down four jobs and caring for her two older siblings. Bianca Jeannot, who became the family's primary breadwinner at just 18 after her mother died, recently got her bachelor's degree in English and a certificate in forensic science from the College of New Rochelle, according to ABC. "It's not much of a burden," Jeannot told the news outlet. "It's just a weight that I'm willing to carry and I've learned to adjust." One of her older brothers, Paul Santons, 34, was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease around...

The Noisettes think their Diamond Jubilee gig was like 'a rave'. The 'Never Forget You' hitmakers - who are made up of singer Shingai Shoniwa and guitarist Daniel Smith - loved performing at the music event at London's Battersea Park earlier this month to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne, and they found the concert to be much more lively than they were expecting. Shingai exclusively told Bang Showbiz: 'When we looked back at the two different playbacks, because there was one at Buckingham Palace too, it looked like ours was more of a rave, people were letting their hair down that little bit more. 'There are different parts of the scale you can get involved...

Beyoncé's parents, Tina and Mathew Knowles, have finalized their divorce after filing the documents two years ago, reports TMZ. The two split after 31 years of marriage.
Neither Tina nor Mathew appeared in court the first time they filed for divorce in 2009, so Beyoncé's mom re-filed, and the final divorce decree was issued last month in a Texas court.
The couple separated in 2009 after Mathew, who used to manage his famous daughter, fathered a love child with an actress,...

Noomi Rapace, Robert Downey Jr, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Guy Ritchie/Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows hasn't exactly "saved" the North American box office despite the estimated $40.02 million it earned (or rather, is earning) this weekend at 3,703 locations, including $1.25 million from Thursday midnight screenings. In fact, A Game of Shadows failed to shake things up because it earned slightly over $40 million. After all, the original Sherlock Holmes collected $62.3 million on Christmas weekend 2009 (admittedly, when people were out of school/work) and last week's predictions had A Game of Shadows bringing in anywhere between $55 and $60 million.
I'm not sure if many have used the word "flop" in reference to a movie that grossed $40 million over the course of three days. But unless things pick up dramatically next weekend and the following one — Monday as a holiday should help things some — A Game of Shadows...

Jude Law as Dr. Watson, Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Not unexpectedly, following its relatively weak Thursday midnight opening — $1.25 million at about 1,600 locations — the Guy Ritchie/Robert Downey Jr period actioner Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is trailing its predecessor by a large margin. Whereas the 2009 Sherlock Holmes opened with $62.3 million on Christmas weekend (admittedly, when people are out of school/work), A Game of Shadows is expected to collect a mere $42.4 million at 3,703 locations — after grossing $16 million on Friday (including the midnight screenings) according to early, rough estimates found at Deadline.com. So much for Sherlock Holmes 2 helping to save the North American box office from its current morass.
Now, the low forties figure isn't exactly good news for distributor Warner Bros. A Game of Shadows' budget is reportedly around $125 million, about one third more than that of the original Sherlock Holmes.
