Despite its virtual setting and lack of red carpet, the 2021 Berlinale still has a sprinkling of Hollywood A-listers to it. Among the splashier titles getting their online world premieres is Best Sellers, starring rising film favorite Aubrey Plaza and Oscar-winning cinema icon Michael Caine. The debut feature from director Lina Roessler (and being shopped at the European Film Market by Foresight Unlimited), the comedic road movie sees the two square off as a young New York publisher (Plaza) and grumpy British author (Caine) on a last-ditch book tour around America with his final novel.

Sofia Vergara has confessed that she enjoys looking like a transvestite. The Modern Family actress revealed in a new interview with The Advocate that she had no problem playing a post-op transsexual in the straight-to-dvd film Grilled as she likes playing up her campy side in real life as well. "I look like a transsexual anyway. I'm a woman, but I'm super-exaggerated with my boobs, my ass, my make-up, and my accent," Vergara explained. "When I (more)...

She's one of the most photographed women in Hollywood, with a body and bust line that is practically its own character in every project she's in, but if you ask Sofia Vergara, she's all (former) man.
The "Modern Family" Emmy nominee sat down for an interview with The Advocate, and amongst the gay-themed many topics she touched on, she mentioned "Grilled," a direct-to-dvd film she made in which she plays a post-op transsexual.
"I look like a transsexual anyway," she responded when asked if it was a difficult role to play. "I’m a woman, but I’m super-exaggerated with my boobs, my ass, my makeup, and my accent. When I get ready for an event, I always look at myself in the mirror and say, 'I look like a transvestite!' I love it."

Our favorite big-mouthed hot blond quarterback returns in Tuesday's religion-themed episode of "Glee." Thank God... or, as the case may be, thank "Grilled Cheesus."
That'd be Finn's wish-granting grilled cheese sandwich, Fyi.
Sam (Chord Overstreet) will make an appearance on the football field, and let's just say he's not exactly having a good time out there.
Now, we know who won't be consoling him after his very bad day.
Though rumors swirled in the TV off-season that Overstreet would play Kurt's (Chris Colfer) new boyfriend, executive producer Ryan Murphy puts the gossip to rest in a chat with EOnline. "It's not Chord," he says. "It's definitely not Chord."
This leaves the door open for Darren Criss, who is joining the cast as a gay student in a rival glee club. (Moment of silence for Jesse St. James, please.) "Darren has a major, major arc," Murphy says. "He sort of becomes...

Special, an offbeat dark comedy, follows the journey of Les Franken played by Michael Rapaport (Hitch, Grilled) as a superhero for our chemically enhanced time.
Les Franken, a lonely parking enforcement officer who enjoys reading comic books, decides to take part in a clinical trial for a new and exciting antidepressant called 'Special'. An unexpected side effect of the drug renders him with superpowers - or so he thinks. While his doctor dismisses the drug's side effects as an adverse psychological reaction to the medication, Les takes his cue from the comics he reads to embrace his newfound “powers” and quits his job to devote his life to fighting evil, real or imagined. Les is an every day kind of superhero, the apparently gifted and yet disturbed human who wishes to save the world. Writers Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore based some of the characters on friends from...
