Although there were many Marvel allusions and homages in Spider-Man: Homecoming, it appears that one DC character escaped our notice. In the 2017 flick starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, an Easter egg as elusive as a superhero’s secret identity was cleverly tucked away by none other than Michael Keaton.
While embracing his role as the high-flying Vulture, Keaton delivered a subtle nod to his iconic portrayal of the caped crusader from Tim Burton’s Batman (1989). This hidden gem was discovered by an avid comic book enthusiast, who noticed that during a moonlit skirmish, Vulture’s winged silhouette briefly resembles Batman’s icon.

And So It Goes was a 2014 comedy where Douglas found himself playing an aggressive and often mean-spirited real-estate agent. He’s on the verge of retiring when he begins forming a close bond with a neighbor played by Diane Keaton.
Both Douglas and Keaton were veteran actors with several film credits and accolades to their name. But despite their long careers and being of similar ages, Keaton asserted that the two didn’t officially meet until the film.

Anna Kendrick once starred in the popular Twilight franchise alongside the likes of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
But when working with George Clooney, the Oscar-winner couldn’t help tease her about the vampire series.

Kendrick had a small role over the course of the Twilight movies as Jessica Stanley. As Jessica, she played a high school classmate of Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan. But her Twilight character wasn’t someone Kendrick was very fond of. So much so she considered Jessica an idiot. This once led to Kendrick improvising an out-of-character line for her role.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been married since 2008, but they're reaffirming their love for each other all over again. On Jan. 31, the pair renewed their vows at de Rossi's 50th birthday party, though it was de Rossi who surprised DeGeneres with the sweet gesture.
A video of the ceremony was uploaded to "The Ellen Show"'s YouTube on Feb. 2, and it shows De Rossi kicking it all off when she appears in a bridal gown in front of DeGeneres, who seemed totally shocked. Brandi Carlile accompanied the couple's walk to the altar with live music, and pal Kris Jenner officiated the ceremony. "These two are couple goals and continue to amaze me with how cute they are together - a match made in heaven," Jenner said. "Two peas in a pod.

Television has been responsible for some of the biggest cultural shifts in history. It has the ability to change how we see celebrities, or discuss subjects that were previously deemed taboo. It can launch careers and also end them.
Here are 10 of the most controversial TV moments of all time...
Sansa rape scene in Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones was already infamous for its graphic scenes of sex, torture and murder by the time the fifth season aired on HBO in 2015. But even so, fans were left reeling at the horrific moment that the evil Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) rapes his new bride, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), while Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) is forced to watch.
Many critics reviewing the episode condemned showrunners David Benioff and Db Weiss, saying it undermined Sansa’s character development. Others questioned why there was more uproar over this particular scene than the many...

On Friday, August 5, actress Anne Heche crashed her Mini Cooper into a private residence in Los Angeles’ Mar Vista neighborhood. The vehicle erupted in flames and destroyed the occupant’s rented home and a lifetime’s worth of possessions. Extricated from the wreck, Heche was taken to the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital, where she was initially stated to have suffered severe burns and was intubated but was thought to be in stable condition.
The days ahead featured rampant speculation about the events leading up to the crash and what its fallout would be: Was Heche drunk or on narcotics? (A blood test taken post-accident indicated the presence of cocaine.) Would she face felony DUI? (The LAPD was indeed investigating this with that charge in mind.) Less frequently discussed was Heche’s current condition: How severe were her injuries? Would she survive? What would the impact be on her two sons,...

Fox revealed Tuesday that its oddball singing competition “The Masked Singer” is getting an oddball sibling series, “The Masked Dancer.” The funny thing about all this — other than, you know, another very wacky premise — is the idea for “Dancer” started as a joke on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show last January, not long after “The Masked Singer” premiered.
“So ‘The Masked Singer’ launched, obviously, our show — then it went on ‘Ellen,'” Rob Wade, Fox Entertainment’s president of alternative entertainment, told TheWrap during Fox’s day at the Television Critics Association press tour Tuesday. “I watched it and I was like, ‘This is great. This works.’ So we approached them. And that was like a year ago.”

The Masked Singer has waltzed off with a spin-off after Fox teamed with Ellen DeGeneres to produce The Masked Dancer.
The broadcaster has ordered the series based on a popular segment on The Ellen Show where the talkshow host and guests must guess the identity of a celebrity dancer, more than just a nod to the Fox hit.
It is produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment and Warner Bros. Unscripted & Alternative Television with DeGeneres exec producing. The comedian has previously joked about “not being sued yet” over the segment.
The guessing game, with DeGeneres and her DJ Twitch, has featured celebrities such as Howie Mandel, Sean Hayes, Derek Hough and Colton Underwood as well as The Masked Singer panelist Ken Jeong.

Celebrities will be strutting their dance skills on Fox’s upcoming “The Masked Dancer,” an Ellen DeGeneres-produced competition show based on the breakout reality-competition series, “The Masked Singer.”
Contestants will perform unique dances while decked out in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving audiences to guess their identities. While definitely a spinoff, the new series came about after the oft-dancing host of “The Ellen Show” debuted a parody segment of “The Masked Singer.” The popularity of “The Masked Singer” inspired a handful of unofficial offshoots, and DeGeneres’s past masked dancing segments featured stars such as Howie Mandel, Sean Hayes, Derek Hough, and “The Masked Singer” panelist Ken Jeong.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — and sometimes leads to the person you’re flattering actually wanting in on your ripoff of their original idea. That’s what’s happened with “The Masked Dancer” — Ellen DeGeneres’ popular “Ellen Show” segment that spoofs “The Masked Singer” (see photo above) — which Fox has ordered as a real competition series, the network said Tuesday during its day at the Television Critics Association press tour.

A tale of underdogs and their quest to leave a lasting mark on society while representing planet earth to potential extra terrestrial life forms takes the shape of a family film that is just peculiar enough to please adults while catering to kids.
Troop Zero is Amazon Prime's first straight-to-streaming feature length film, though it made its official premiere at Sundance 2019.
And it's not as cheesy as your usual family film fare.
One of the greatest assets Troop Zero has going for it is its subtle edginess, even while narrating a message about self-motivation and celebrating one's uniqueness.
Miss Rayleen -- played charismatically by Viola Davis -- is an anti-hero type who cares not for the company of young children.
Because of her distaste for palling around with kids, the bitter comedy lands with grace and assists in earning empathy as we watch the character's journey change throughout the approximate 90 minute runtime.

Beto O’Rourke has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race, ending a campaign in which he started as one of the most promising of all Democratic contenders only to drop in the low single digits in the polls.
“Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively,” O’Rourke said in a Twitter message. “In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee.”
He added: “We will work to ensure that the Democratic nominee is successful in defeating Donald Trump in 2020. I can tell you firsthand from having the chance to know the candidates, we will be well served by any one of them, and I’m going to be proud to support whoever she or he is.”
His announcement came just as candidates are preparing to speak at the Liberty and Justice Dinner in Des Moines,...

Oprah Winfrey made a guest appearance on CBS This Morning on Monday to announce her pick for her re-activated book club: The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates. (See video above.)
Her interview with Coates will stream on Apple TV+ when the subscription service launches on November 1, under the title Oprah’s Book Club. New episodes of the show, centered on future club picks, will appear every other month.

At least some of the followers of Ellen DeGeneres’ Instagram account might have thought they hit pay dirt last night when the talk show host’s account was hacked and briefly offered a treasure trove of giveaway items.
“My Instagram account was hacked last night (despite my clever password “password”),” DeGeneres tweeted this morning on her official The Ellen Show account. “We apologize, and we thank everyone who brought it to our attention. I’m going back to sleep now.”
