Careful what you wish for, Abby Lee Miller. You might just get it — and more. Or less. According to the Pittburgh Post Gazette, The Dance Moms hellion parlayed income from her growing notoriety on the Lifetime reality trainwreck into a healthy windfall she then tried to hide from bankruptcy court, following the reorganization plan she filed on behalf of her Pennsylvania-based Abby Lee Dance Co. in December 2010. And it wasn’t an oopsie. Miller, 50, allegedly created back accounts specifically to keep the money a secret and ordered others to do the same. Call it karma, call it irony — the federal bankruptcy judge … Continue reading →

Call it karma, but the chickens have come home to roost for TLC, a network that courts the worst examples of This American Life.Was anyone surprised that the Duggars would have a crack in their fundamental evangelical Christian armor? With all that “Duggaring” going on, (19 kids and counting, we rest our case) who had time to actually mind all those kids. In the wake of a tabloid report alleging that Josh Duggar – the oldest Duggar kid in “19 Kids and Counting,” which began as “17 Kids and Counting” in 2008 – fondled and molested a bunch of girls, […]...

Detour
Written by Marin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney
Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
U.S.A., 1945
The women of film noir, those seductive, cruel creatures baptized ‘femmes fatales’ (French for ‘deadly women’) present a unique sort of challenge for the male protagonists. All too often the latter is at least somewhat aware of the former’s cold intentions yet takes the bait anyways out of some delusional belief that they can outwit her and end on top, pardon the pun. Despite that the batting average for said vixen is incredibly high with respect to making the man’s life a living hell, there is usually a semblance of level footing, the male protagonist for the most part believing in his ability to counter his opposite’s mischievous.
In that sense, Edgar G. Ulmer’s Detour is a fitting title for many reasons which shall be explored shortly. The story opens...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Released: 25th of March
Comedown Machine is different. It’s 80′s. And it may not be to everyone’s tastes.
Two songs were unveiled by the New Yorkers prior to the release of this record. The first of these two was “One Way trigger” and whether you loved it or hated it, this song is a very accurate advertisement for Comedown Machine – it’s quirky, weird and in no way sounds like it’s from this decade.
“All The Time” was the second. The “Is This It” throwback may have made a lot of Strokes fans excited but no one planning on listening to this record should get comfortable in the notion that there will more of this. “All The Time” is simply a mere break in a exploratory and different album. And only when you realize that can you truly begin to enjoy Comedown Machine for what it is.

The Strokes have not planned a tour in support of "Comedown Machine, " the band's upcoming fifth studio album.
Bassist Nikolai Fraiture says the band is in a decent mood, welcome news to fans after years of reports that lead singer Julian Casablancas and the rest of the group hate each other. (A quick Google search for "The Strokes hate each other" turns up some 4.7 million results).
"It's kind of funny that new music doesn't feel as natural as it used to but for us," Fraiture told BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe (via NME), "[but] posting it when it is done feels like that is the way it should be done. When you make music you go up down, sometimes you feel strong and sometimes you feel scared. Right now, we just finished the album and I feel good about it and the atmosphere in the band. Hopefully it continues."

Visions of the American apocalypse, camp tough guys, and teen stars ruining their clean-cut reputations … it's been quite a year on the big screen
Wrecked America
Sure, the Mayans were wrong, but turns out we're off to hell in a handcart anyway. From Beasts of the Southern Wild to Bombay Beach, Killing Them Softly to The Queen of Versailles, Hollywood took us on a guided tour of a land blighted by ecological and economic collapse. Be sure to stop in at the gift shop on your way out.
Dogs in peril
Last year was vintage for big-screen mutts, with pooches stealing the show on The Artist, and making the posters for Hugo and Young Adult. Call it karma, then, that 2012 has metaphorically drowned Uggie's puppies. Bonnie the shih tzu was snatched in Seven Psychopaths, Poppy the terrier abducted in Sightseers. But they get off lightly compared with Fanny the springer spaniel in The Hunt.

Thirty years after making his debut, John Cusack is still a Hollywood outsider. Now 45, the star of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven talks about mortality, his Brat Pack past – and why he wishes he could work a room
John Cusack is puffing on a fat cigar. It's incongruous, seeing him dressed all in cool, casual black, sucking on a Cohiba, like a goth who has crashed a Hollywood mogul's house party. "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't mention the cigar," he says. "I don't want people to think I'm this movie cliche. I'm certainly not a mogul – in fact, nothing could be further from the truth."
I don't think there's any danger of Cusack being mistaken for a movie mogul. But the cigar begins to feel somehow appropriate. The more he smokes it, the more at ease he becomes with it, until he owns that damn cigar and waggles it like a spare,...
