Filmmaker James Wan (“The Conjuring”) and Jason Blum have teased some interesting ideas. The duo is in the process of a merger between Wan’s Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions. When asked if the success of “Malignant” was a driving force behind the merger, Blum responded, “It’s always a motivating factor for me. I get very nervous anytime James does a scary movie without me. I get very upset.” “Malignant” was produced by New Line Cinema and Atomic Monster. The pair are currently collaborating with Universal to produce the Gerard Johnstone (“Housebound”) directed killer doll/AI movie, “M3gan.” But one of the…

Television presenter and host Andy Cohen will indeed be drinking during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. This will be Cohen’s 6th year hosting the telecast alongside Anderson Cooper, and the pair’s drunken antics have become tradition. With many tuning in solely to see the duo get more and more inebriated. But this got Cohen into a bit of hot water last year when he went all “Mean Girls” on Ryan Seacrest and ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” as well as iconic rock band Journey. While on air, Cohen said “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us.” Adding…
Fast food giant Arby’s is closing the year by adding two new limited-time items to the menu. They’re also bringing back their classic White Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese.

But this year they are also adding a Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac ‘N Cheese. Which is the white cheddar mac ‘n cheese topped with chopped chicken nuggets, bacon, and parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce. This dish got a wider release after successful taste tests earlier this year. The second new…
With January 1st fast approaching, it’s time to start making New Year’s resolutions. Goals pertaining to people’s health like losing weight, quitting smoking, etc. are among the most common.

Well, Halo Top may have a solution to help people reach their fitness resolutions, by giving them free ice cream. While that may sound counterproductive, Halo Top is a low-calorie, high-protein ice cream. And while no ice cream is healthy, you could do a lot worse than this for a…

Thanks to his successful collaborations with Lionsgate on “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot” and “Clerks III,” the company is hungry for more. “‘We sold so many copies of ‘Jay & Silent Bob Reboot’ on DVD and Blu-ray that if you have any more of this Jay and Silent Bob bullshit and you can make it for under eight million dollars, we’ll totally do it,” Smith told the GalaxyCon audience. “And I was like, ‘I am filled with nothing but Jay and Silent Bob bullshit!’.” The plot…
It is no secret “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” had to undergo extensive rewrites after the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman. Writer/director Ryan Coogler recently opened up about what he originally envisioned for the film and Boseman’s Black Panther. The script was originally written to be a father and son story about T’Challa getting to know his son with Nakia, Toussaint.

Because of this, the original script for “Wakanda Forever” opened on an animated sequence where Toussaint’s mother Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) asks him what…
Netflix’s upcoming series “That ’90s Show” is a much anticipated second attempt at a sequel to “That ‘70s Show.” Original show stars Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith recently gave emotional (and extremely on brand) answers about reuniting for the new series. Rupp, who plays Kitty, explains how wonderful it is to see Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Laura Prepon, and Wilmer Valderrama. While all of them are adults now and most have become superstars, to Rupp it seems like no time has passed. She keeps fighting back tears as she reminisces about stories from “That ‘70s Show” including…

Remember when former “Blue’s Clues” host Steve Burns said how proud of us he is? Remember how we all found it super touching? Yeah, he somehow just one-upped himself in the super-emotional reunion department. While Burns was making an appearance at Steel City Con in Pennsylvania, he was approached by Brandon Ragland. Like any other fan, Ragland walked up to the actor’s booth, shook his hand, but then he pulled out a picture of the two of them from 2000. The photo was taken when Ragland first met the “Blue’s Clues” star through the Make-A-Wish foundation. When he was just 4…
