Rebel Wilson had a Pitch Perfect payday on Wednesday, when she was awarded $3.66 million by an Australian judge in a defamation case against a magazine publisher who printed articles that she said cost her film roles in Hollywood.
The 37-year-old star had sued Bauer Media — publisher of the Australian magazines Woman’s Day, Australian Women’s Weekly, Nw and Ok — after they published reports in 2015 claiming she lied about her age, origins of her first name and her upbringing.
The articles cited a former classmate, who accused the Bridesmaids star of being seven years older than what the media had been reporting.

As both a movie and television actor, the hilarious comic, 33, seems like a perfect fit for the revamped ceremony.

1.7 Chapter Seven
After episode seven ended, hardcore fans of Legion’s source material could be heard screaming “I told you so!” as loud as the voices in David Haller’s head. Amahl Farouk, The Shadow King, has been officially confirmed as the main antagonist of the season, as hinted at by the name of David’s imaginary dog from his childhood. We also learned that Legion is staying true to the comics and that Professor Charles Xavier, whose wheelchair is briefly glimpsed, is David’s true father. Fans of the comics and the overall X-Men universe are probably simultaneously shocked and thrilled that the idiosyncratic world of Legion will hew closer to the X-Men material than previously thought.

Primarily I’ve had nothing but positive things to say about Legion’s addictively disorienting first season, but I have criticised the show in the past for stalling the story. That ends tonight; this episode’s recess from the plot while David, Syd, and the Summerland crew are trapped inside David’s mind with The Devil with the Yellow Eyes is not only full of the stylistic flourishes that make the series great, but it’s also illuminating. This episode begs the viewer to look at the series from a different perspective while delivering key pieces of information and hints about where things might be heading.

Legion is unreal. No other show on air is taking narrative and stylistic risks like this, and who would have ever thought such invention was possible with a Marvel property? Certainly an almost 80 year history of amazing fantasies, cosmic adventures, and elaborate science fiction in the comics proves that there’s a wealth of mind-bending source material available, but for all intents and purposes it would be much easier and safer to make a series like Netflix’s new, bland Iron Fist than to create something as challenging and visionary as Legion. Kudos to Noah Hawley and the kind folks at FX, take a bow.

David and Syd make a Rainbow Connection, but they don't get a pot of gold at the end. The color is more yellow, if you get my meaning.
In Legion Season 1 Episode 5, David comes back from the astral plane, but he isn't the same guy who left. We now know that Yellow Eyes is mind wrestling for control of David and his immense power, and guess who has the upper hand?
It all starts out cool enough since David has found a way to finally get together with Syd.
I'm glad the writers came up with a solution for them to have a proper romance because the whole "not touching" thing was getting old.
The astral plane creation suggestion by Ollie is pretty easy for David, and he creates a white room love nest for his boo Syd.
David: I think I know what I am.
Syd: You do?
David: I'm the magic man.

We’re more than halfway through this first season of Legion now, and we’re starting to understand how David’s mutant mind works (and doesn’t work). But this week’s episode threw a few new curveballs at us… including a truly Wtf moment at the end that threatened to take us all the way back to square one.
David and Syd bring a wounded Kerry back to Summerland so Cary can patch up his bodymate. And David has a newfound confidence — you could even call it arrogance — after rescuing Syd.

After Legion’s confident, stylish pilot episode, I was immediately impressed with Noah Hawley’s slice of the Marvel universe. However, in that first review, I worried about Legion favouring style over substance and now four episodes in, that worry is starting to manifest itself. I’m a savvy viewer; I don’t need every plot detail spoon fed and I’m fine lingering in mystery, but that being said, I really feel like we’re spinning our wheels here. A lack of forward momentum seems to be shrouded by new questions, delivered in eye-catching ways, sure, but the rabbit hole is starting to look shallow.

The third episode of Legion takes us farther into the history of David Haller, the man who is either a schizophrenic, a “mutant,” or both. It opens with three minutes of what would be nonsense on almost any other show, but here, it’s right at home.
David sits on the dock of an opaque pond while someone repeatedly asks, “shall we begin,” the mutants of Summerland begin their day, random images come across the screen (David’s childhood dog, leeches in a tank, and his sister’s apparent kidnapping and interrogation by the sinister Division 3) and the disembodied voice of Melanie Bird’s husband Oliver (Jemaine Clement) tells her a parable. What makes it so odd is that, when the episode opens this way, we still don’t know who Oliver is or why his voice comes from a machine, and we don’t know what many of the images in this montage mean.

If you guys can get through an episode of this show without a honking headache at the end, then boy, are you lucky!
The pace slows even more in Legion Season 1 Episode 3, but the mind bending trippiness doesn't let up one bit. Dreams within dreams, memories that aren't memories, and more general insanity makes this one Really hard to follow.
I'm still liking it, but I wonder if we are reaching a saturation point with the cray cray "unreliable narrator" structure of the show. It might be getting too weird for it's own good.
I love a show with lots of layers, and this one sure has that. But at a certain point, we as an audience need to know what the deal is regarding what the hell is Really going on.
Melanie: You're not just a telepath. You can control objects with your mind.
David: Control may be an overstatement.

At the beginning of Legion Season 1 Episode 2, we see David being taken by boat to the well hidden, idyllic Summerland camp, where Melanie Bird and her crew attempt to fix David.
The tone of this one is much different than the wild, visually stunning Legion Season 1 Episode 1 premiere, but it's just as trippy in it's own way.

After an absolutely bonkers series premiere that we’re still trying to make sense of, Legion slows down in Episode 2 and goes inward, deep into the twisted psyche of gifted mutant David Haller.
We pick up with David and Syd escaping into the woods and ominous military men (and that creepy henchman guy, The Eye) in hot pursuit. They arrive safely at Summerland, a gorgeous architectural marvel of a mutant retreat run by Dr. Melanie Bird. She shows David how to filter out all the noise in his head, like turning down a giant volume dial, and use his telepathic skills to hear her thoughts.

This is definitely Not your Dad's Marvel TV show. And that's a very good thing.
Visually dazzling, whipsaw smart, subversive, yet with surprisingly wacky comedic elements, Legion Season 1 Episode 1 is one of the most innovative takes on the somewhat overdone superhero genre in many a year.
What really makes this one so good is the work of actor Dan Stevens, who plays our troubled hero David Haller.
Seems that David has been diagnosed with mental illness since childhood, which was hilariously depicted to the old Who tune "Happy Jack."
The whole look and feel of this show is just different, almost as if it takes place in the mod London 1960's.
David: It's just Thursday. Like the 260th Thursday as a passenger on the cruise ship "Mental Health." On the plus side I've mastered eating with a spoon.
Amy: You're getting better. The voices - you're not seeing things that aren't there?...

Just when you thought FX had all but wrapped up its casting process for X-Men TV drama Legion, today brings news that Noah Hawley’s standalone series has added Katie Aselton to its star-studded ensemble.
That’s according to Entertainment Weekly, revealing that Aselton – best known for her role on fellow FX drama The League – is on board to play the part of Amy, older sister to Dan Stevens’ mercurial lead, David Haller. Indeed, Stevens’ troubled character is essentially Legion‘s anchor; one who is billed as a troubled “Omega-level mutant” who has “been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.”
It proves to be a trying experience for Aselton’s sibling character, too, who struggles to remain positive during David...

Pitch Perfect snuck up on us as a charming, funny film that took the national interest in all things acapella and grafted it onto the teen Coming of Age story template from Bring it On. With a strong ensemble and winning soundtrack, it wowed at the box office, making a singing star of Anna Kendrick, and ensuring there’d be a sequel.
If the film had any fault it was that some elements were so outsized they seemed incongruous with the rest of the story, such as the force and volume of Anna Camp’s projectile vomiting or Renee Wilson’s super-sized characterization.
Unfortunately, the trend towards bigger and more preposterous elements plagues Pitch Perfect 2, out now on Blu-ray Combo Pack from Universal Home Entertainment.

When a film like Pitch Perfect delivers, and becomes a hit, where can the sequel go? The answer is simple push the heroes back to rock bottom so they can drag themselves up to the top again, if that’s what they want. That does raise the question though… Is that enough to keep Pitch Perfect 2 on top?
When the Bellas perform in front of the President an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction by Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) leaves them a national disgrace, resulting in their removed from the Aca-Circuit.

The Barden Bellas are back, folks, and this time they've been the reigning U.S. a cappella champions for three years running. But after one big rip in Fat Amy's costume, the winning team turns into an epic a cappella fail. In this sequel to 2012's sleeper hit, Beca (Anna Kendrick), Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), Chloe (Brittany Snow) and co. return to redeem their Bellas from being the shame of American a cappella by competing in the world a cappella competition against the German international champions. While not considered as fabulous as the original, the sequel is still funny enough to compel even third and fourth graders to see it (in case you're wondering, for the most part, that's a bit young for the humor).
Here are five issues to keep in mind before heading off to see the Bellas return to glory in "Pitch Perfect 2."
1. Did your kid see the original?...

Let’s raise a cheer for the lil’ movie that could. Or better yet, let’s hit a high note. Three years ago a modestly budgeted flick opened with little fanfare that starred a cast of relative unknowns. Ladies, too! Well mostly, there were a few potential beaus hanging about, but the main focus was on this motley group of young women in college. And they comprised an a capella singing group. Not cheerleaders, not a sport team, but singers. The first Pitch Perfect didn’t set any box office records, but it continued to quietly play, for more than just a couple of weeks, at the multiplex. Well, it made its money back, at least. But what happened with the initial Austin Powers flick struck again. Repeated cable TV airings and brisk, very brisk, home video sales (and a hit music single) made the execs at Universal take notice.

"Pitch Perfect 2" gives you the competitive flair and camaraderie of the original with an added dose of the outrageous. Stars Rebel Wilson and Adam DeVine are just as maniacal about singing competitions in their roles as a cappella addicts Fat Amy and Bumper, who seem like natural extensions of the actors' irreverent personalities. But you might be shocked to learn that both actors have secret yearnings to play darker, stranger roles. We asked Wilson and DeVine what kinds of characters they'd love to start playing. "A lot of people don't know I have a serious side. I want to law school and stuff," Wilson told us. "You know who I love? Claire Danes in 'Homeland.' To be out there playing a CIA analyst in the war on terror... would be kickass." Watch our interview to see Wilson and DeVine talk about "Pitch Perfect 2," the songs they wish they'd sung,...

As Fat Amy and Bumper, Rebel Wilson and Adam DeVine have one of the steamiest, most star-crossed, and downright weirdest big-screen romances in recent memory. We sat down with the duo to talk about their chemistry in Pitch Perfect 2, why Amy and Bumper are like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and Rebel's crazy Cirque du Soleil stunt in the film.

Joss Whedon can tell you about how hard it is to make a sequel that matches the creative heights of its predecessor, especially a beloved one. The "Avengers" filmmaker was forced to juggle studio priorities alongside fan expectations with "Avengers: Age of Ultron." Whedon, at least to this critic, wasn't able to match the first film's energy or euphoria, but another summer sequel, "Pitch Perfect 2," manages to come much closer to pulling off that delicate dance. Much of the credit has to go to Elizabeth Banks who makes her directorial debut with the highly anticipated flick and the results will leave you wanting more (well, more singing at least). When we last left the Barton Bellas, the collegiate singing group had gone from underdogs to national champions. Our heroines are now Queens of A Cappella and singing at the Kennedy Center in front of the President of the United States,...

One of the summer’s most surefire hits is Universal’s Pitch Perfect 2, which will reunite the Barden Bellas as they take their a cappella talents to new heights in hopes of regaining fame and popularity after a humiliating wardrobe malfunction in front of none other than the President of the United States. Back for more pitch-slapping mayhem are stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Skylar Astin, Anna Camp and Brittany Snow, and the sequel also adds a new Bella in the form of Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit).
A new batch of images has ended up online today, showcasing most of the principal cast and reminding us that Elizabeth Banks is not only starring in but also directing this follow-up. Will the first-time helmer be able to deliver another chapter that rivals the fist-pumping charms of Jason Moore’s original? The jury’s still out on that one,...

Pitch Perfect 2 valiantly tries to capture what made the first film work. Not successfully, though...
The first Pitch Perfect film got away with a lot of its glaring flaws simply because it was something a little bit different, or at least the same stuff served as part of a slightly different package. It had a primarily female cast, upbeat music and stuck it all in a rude comedy geared towards an audience who’d only rarely been targeted by the genre before.
But 2012 was a very different time, when musicals were still in the zeitgeist both on the big and small screen, and the question of whether an appetite for another Pitch Perfect really exists three years later tentatively hangs over this sequel. Based on the final product, the answer’s probably no, because it feels as if even those involved have fallen out of love with the concept.

Respire
Written by Melanie Laurent and Julien Lambroschini
Directed by Melanie Laurent
France, 2014
What is love? Love is a pain, love is death, love is a bitch. But friendship, that’s even worse. Friendship is nebulous; it’ll steal your affections, spread rumors about you, scrawl dirty lies on your locker. Life-affirming and, ultimately, life-ending, friendship is like coffee laced with slow-acting poison. At least that’s how it works in Melanie Laurent’s gorgeous Respire, an unsettling usurpation of your usual coming-of-age story, and one of the most confident sophomore films of recent memory.
A staggeringly tragic story of adolescent amity turned toxic, Laurent’s film taps the rhythm of high school life: the petty banter and cafeteria gossip, the birth and death of fleeting crushes, the caustic politics of inner-friend circles. Charlie (Josephine Japy), a mild-mannered young girl, has her circle of friends. Victoire (Roxane Duran) has been...

Fiddle-dee-dee y'all it's Jason from Mnpp here with today's sweeping Southern epic edition of "Beauty vs Beast." Yes indeedy today is the 75th anniversary of the biggest movie that ever was and probably ever will be - David O. Selznick's Gone With the Wind (if any movie's ownership belongs to its producer, it's this one) premiered in Atlanta on this day in 1939. Three hundred thousand people lined the streets surrounding the Loews Grand Theater, the cap of three days worth of festivities which brought over a million people to the city. Most of the stars attended, save Leslie Howard who'd returned to England because of WWII, as well as Hattie McDaniel and the other black actors in the film who would've been segegrated from the rest of the cast thanks to Jim Crow. (A situation echoed several months later when McDaniel had to make her way from the back...

Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) – or rather, “Patricia” – is back for another round of intense a capella and synchronized lady dancing in the first trailer for Pitch Perfect 2.
Though the trailer starts off with a slowed-down reprise of Anna Kendrick’s “Cups” (“When I’m Gone”), it picks up halfway through, teasing enough riff offs and music-related puns to get you psyched for another two hours with Kendrick, Brittany Snow – node-free? – and the rest of the Barden Bellas.
In terms of new cast members, Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) joins the Bellas as their new recruit, andDavid Cross(Arrested Development) appears to take over the role of emcee from now-director Elizabeth Banks andChristopher Guest regular John Michael Higgins. Eagle-eyed YouTube aficionados may also notice the welcome addition ofFlula Borg as the Bella’s foreign foe.

In case that "Cups" song wasn't enough of an earworm, it's back again in the trailer for Pitch Perfect 2 with the Barden Bellas giving audiences a sweet, a cappella (aca-duh) version. And then the fart noise comes. Yes, EW's cover stars, the Bellas, are back and headed for the World Championships, where they are once again the underdogs. Hailee Steinfeld is on hand as a new addition to the group, but a lot of familiar faces are back, including Benji (Ben Platt), who is still doing magic, and Bumper (Adam DeVine) who is still being obnoxious.

The Barden Bellas are back, back, back and this time they're taking on the world, as revealed in the new trailer for Pitch Perfect 2. The trouble is that the world doesn't like America, and Beca Mitchell (Anna Kendrick) and the gang are going to have to sing (and dance) like never before if they're going to make it. And, with any luck, not vomit as much as they did in the first one. As well as the returning cast you were hoping for - Rebel Wilson as "Fat Amy", Adam DeVine as the leader of the Treblemakers, Bumper Allen, and many more - there are plenty of new names to look forward to, including Hailee Steinfeld as Bella newcomer Emily. You've also got mud wrestling, some magic involving dry leaves and the concept of "Loser" as a language.The first film came out in 2012, sneakily hauling in $113 million at the box office,...

Rosamund Pike, the star of the highly anticipated film, Gone Girl, is about to get a lot of attention for her standout role as Amy Elliott Dunne, a disillusioned housewife who suddenly disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary. The part is one intense (and showy) role, and will surely stick with audiences well after the end credits stop rolling.
With all the buzz coming her way, it’s a good time to get to know the 35-year-old English actress making a big splash Stateside.
She’s a Bond Girl
While this is definitely her biggest role, it’s hardly her first. The actress’ first big screen part was Miranda Frost, a villainous Bond Girl in Pierce Brosnan’s final James Bond film Die Another Day. She was the 68th actress to be featured as a woman who finds herself entangled with the famed British spy.

Fans of 2012′s breakout musical college comedy Pitch Perfect already know to expect more of the same song and dance when the Elizabeth Banks-directed sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, hits theaters next year. The film will find Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Skyler Astin, Hana Mae Lee and Kelley Jakle reprising their roles, and scribe Kay Cannon is back on script-writing duties. Now, we’ve learned that Adam DeVine, another familiar face, will also be returning for the sequel.
DeVine, who played Bumper Allen, the obnoxious leader of male a capella group the Treblemakers, just signed on to appear as the character in Pitch Perfect 2. Though he only showed up in a few scenes of Pitch Perfect, DeVine left an impact as one of the feel-good comedy’s few truly villainous characters.

There's long been a hidden link between Hollyoaks and horror. Here are 10 actors who've made the jump from soap to gore...
Nb: This article contains spoilers.
There’s a moment in one of comedian Simon Amstell’s stand up shows where he recounts a conversation he once had with the executive producer of Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. Trading on the commonly held opinion that Hollyoaks is “rubbish”, Amstell enquired as to why the producer didn’t try to make it better. The answer came that they did make it better, but people stopped watching.
Even by the not-so-great standards that soaps are measured, Hollyoaks has always been firmly towards the bottom of the ladder. The fictional Chester suburb where the majority of inhabitants are extraordinarily good looking but also extraordinarily stupid has been identified by its often wildly outlandish storylines and impossibly pretty people.

It was a string of standing ovations by judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge (and speaker of Truth) Debbie Allen on last night’s So You Think You Can Dance.
Despite the awesomeness of the first All-Star show with the Top 10 dance contestants, there’e always that dark cloud knowing two of our favorite dancers would be going home.
After the show, we grabbed some time with a few of the All-Stars (Melanie Moore, Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Neil Haskell) as well as the Top 10 (including the 2 eliminated contestants) to chat up the challenges of their dances, how tough it is to say goodbye to their fellow dancers and what dance style they still want to take on.

And now, Debbie Allen‘s review of this So You Think You Can Dance recap: “Louis! You shined tonight. You brought us into your shine. We needed to be brought there, and you brought it. We were there with you. With you, Louis. There’s a play called A Delicate Balance — there was a balance, and you were so, so delicate on it. I don’t know why you keep ending in the bottom every week, but let me tell you: This week? You’re the top. You really were. The top of the bottom. Which is still the bottom. The bottom. Thank you.”
Really, what else needs to be said? Debbie Allen guest-judged and brought a bindle full of wisdom with her. She ruled, and she only sounded like an impromptu Maya Angelou poem six or seven times. The final ten dancers were paired with all-stars, and that meant...
