Margot Robbie is just continuing to be a big thing. Not only is she currently shooting Goodbye Christopher Robin in which she plays A. A.

After 16 hours of deliberation over two days, the jury in the George Zimmerman murder trial has reached a verdict. He was found not guilty. Zimmerman, who remained expressionless as the verdict was read, silently shook his lawyers' hands. He was released by the court shortly afterward. Zimmerman's wife and parents cried in the courtroom. Soon after, Zimmerman was seen smiling. Outside the courtroom the reaction was more emotional. Some were angry, others expressed disbelief. Zimmerman, 29, faced second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012. The verdict came after three contentious weeks of often-heated testimony,...

It has been more than 16 months since 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed after running to the store to buy candy and iced tea. Now, the shooter, George Zimmerman, is on trial for second-degree murder in Seminole County, Fla. The controversy and media saturation is nothing new to Central Floridians, who were glued to the Casey Anthony trial two years ago, and the first week of testimony has lived up to the hype: The Jury: Per Florida law, only six jurors were seated to hear the evidence. (Florida only uses a 12-member jury for capital cases, such as 2011's Casey Anthony trial.

NBCUniversal‘s cable news network said this month that it will offer “in-depth, continuing coverage” of George Zimmerman’s murder trial, including going live “as news warrants.” This morning’s opening arguments indeed were live on MSNBC — and the network ended up having to apologize for it. No delay was in place as prosecutor John Guy began with a pointed quote from the defendant: “F—ing punks. These assholes always get away.” Chuck Todd, host of MSNBC’s The Daily Rundown and NBC News‘ chief White House correspondent, immediately apologized for the profanity and vowed that the network would deploy a delay going forward. But at least one other uncensored f-word also aired live. This is exactly the kind of scenario NBCU execs had in mind when they asked the FCC last week to consider revamping its policies on broadcast indecency. “The Commission should exempt news, public affairs programming, and...

It only took about seven seconds for MSNBC to realize that it needed a seven-second delay for its coverage of George Zimmerman's trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin. During opening arguments, prosecutor John Guy began his argument with a few seconds of "May it please the court" pleasantries, then got right to it: "Fucking punks," he bluntly stated.

Chicago – Aside from the whole football thing, Superbowl Sunday has always been known as the launch-pad for some of the best commercials in the world and Hollywood has traditionally used the event as the launch-pad for the annual marketing blitzes for their best, brightest, and most expensive films of the year. (Although, in years’ past, Hollywood has debated just how cost-effective these high-priced Superbowl ads really are.)
So, how did the 2012 Superbowl movie ads stack up? There were definitely some hits and misses. “The Lorax” and “The Dictator” teasers were entertaining, but there was nothing substantially new in either commercial – it was just recycled footage from earlier trailers. (“The Lorax” seemingly wants to get as much mileage as possible from its “That’s a woman?” joke, “The Dictator” just lobbed in an easy “I bought NBC” gag.) That, more or less, only left four films that debuted any significant footage - “John Carter,...
