Look what you did, you little jerk! Macaulay Culkin finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Friday, being recognized for his landmark work as a child actor and beyond.
Special guests at the ceremony — in which Macaulay Culkin was bestowed the 2,765th star on the Walk of Fame — included Home Alone mom Catherine O’Hara and Natasha Lyonne, a former child star herself who co-starred in 2003’s Party Mondter. At the event, O’Hara gave a touching tribute to the star, who she first worked with when he was just 10. “I know you worked really hard, I know you did, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do…Macaulay, congratulations. You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion.

Martinez suggested Tupac’s star will become a huge attraction for rap fans, adding, “Surely, as one of LA’s own, Tupac’s star will be added to the list of most visited stars.”
Tupac is still widely recognised as one of the most influential and successful rappers of all time. He died on September 7, 1996 after he was involved in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

Well, it's about time! The late actor, novelist and humorist, Carrie Fisher, will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a posthumous ceremony that will take place on Star Wars Day, May the 4th. When Fisher passed away suddenly just after Christmas day in 2016, a fan-made star appeared on Hollywood and North Orange Drive to serve as a makeshift memorial to the screen legend where onlookers and tourists started to gather to pay their respects. The star read, "Carrie Fisher. May the Force be with you always. Hope." Now, Fisher will be honored with an official star on Hollywood Boulevard just down the street from the El Capitan Theater.
Fittingly, Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd (who shared the screen with her mother in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy) will be accepting the star on her behalf. Fisher's own mother, Debbie Reynolds, received her own star on the...

The late Ray Liotta will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Friday, the same day as his first posthumous movie, Cocaine Bear, comes to theaters.
In a statement by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, who oversees the Walk of Fame, they announced that Ray Liotta will receive the 2,794 star on February 24th. In their release, they recalled, “With more than 60 feature films to his credit, Ray Liotta exceled at diverse and challenging roles in both comedy and drama.” Interestingly, according to the Walk of Fame’s website, “There is a two year waiting period after death” for a posthumous nomination to be considered. However, this seems to have been bent a bit, as Liotta passed away less than one year ago.

Warning: The following article contains major spoilers for the Netflix film "The Good Nurse."
Any show or film "based on a true story" is guaranteed to have a built-in creep factor. In the case of "The Good Nurse," the story rips pages from Charles Graeber's 2013 book " The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder," which details how real-life serial killer Charles "Charlie" Cullen murdered dozens (possibly hundreds) of people. The film, co-starring Eddie Redmayne as Cullen and Jessica Chastain as the eponymous good nurse Amy Loughren, is the latest in a long string of serial killer adaptations to hit Netflix, for better or worse.
While the film itself falls a little flat, there is plenty to admire about both Chastain's and Redmayne's performances. Redmayne, in particular, makes a disturbing turn as the deadly nurse, who insidiously wields his power to kill people under the guise of simply doing his job.

A defamation suit against Netflix from the head of a Cuban exile organization accuses the streamer of distributing propaganda for Cuba by portraying him as a terrorist and drug trafficker in Olivier Assayas’ political spy thriller Wasp Network. In a lawsuit filed on Monday in federal court in Florida, Brothers to the Rescue leader Jose Basulto alleges Netflix and Ossayas falsely depicted him as a puppet of the United States and traitor to Cuba while romanticizing the criminal activity conducted by Fidel Castro’s regime.
“This portrayal of Mr. Basulto, Brothers to the Rescue and the Cuban exile community was deliberately calculated to create two clear and unmistakable villains for the Film,” read the complaint.
The defamation action is the second from a Cuban exile arguing that the movie falsely maligns Cuban exiles as terrorists and otherwise unsavory characters. Ana Martinez sued in 2020 over her character,...
