Ironically, Rae was already caught up in the highest-profile “Pretendian” scandal to hit Hollywood.

Never Give A Sucker An Even Break was a 1941 movie from W.C. Fields. But it could have been the theme to Bill Maher’s Real Time on Friday night.

Todd Gilchrist editor Warner Bros. will commemorate its 100th anniversary with a block of programming on Turner Classic Movies starting April 1. TCM will broadcast remastered and newly restored versions of 10 classic Warner Bros. films, each featuring an introduction from a filmmaker or film expert culled from the network’s ongoing partnership with the Film Foundation, a non-profit preservation and exhibition organization. The program coincides with the April 13-16 run of the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood. On April 13, a new 4K restoration of 1959’s “Rio Bravo,” Howard Hawks’ classic western starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Angie Dickinson, will premiere on TCM and serve as the opening night film of the festival. Dickinson will attend the in-person event, while Martin Scorsese will introduce the film on TCM’s small-screen presentation. Similarly, Warner Bros. will premiere a new 4K restoration of Elia Kazan’s “East of Eden,” starring James Dean, on both the big screen and the network, the latter featuring an introduction by filmmakers Wes Anderson and Joanna Hogg.

Jennifer Lopez joined forces with Revolve to create a collaborative line of fashionable shoes, and now she’s celebrating their accomplishment.

Bill Maher was in his frequent “down with religion” state of mind during Friday’s “Real Time,” landing a one-two blow to both the Catholic church and his favorite former president to razz, Donald Trump.It being St. Patrick’s Day and all, Maher’s New Rules began with a shout to Ireland, which quickly turned into a political comparison of the country’s division over religion to the current state in the Republican party.“[Ireland] went through a period where political hatred born of religion turned into something called ‘the troubles,’ which meant the hatred got so bad it could not be contained by the usual means of disagreement. So people lived with bombings and sniping and urban warfare, which Tucker Carlson calls sightseeing,” Maher said, cutting to images of Trump supporters storming the Capitol on Jan.

Bill Maher celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on Friday during his Real Time on HBO – or, as he referred to it, “Alcoholic Christmas” – by bringing up the dangerous parallels between the religious hatreds that fueled politics in last century Ireland and the turmoil in today’s United States between Democrats and Republicans.

Academy Awards brought out the biggest names in Hollywood for a night of fun and celebration.Coming together at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, this year's Oscars was a musical performance-filled gala that also served as a celebration of cinema greatness and delivered some truly unexpected surprises and category upsets.Hosted once again by Jimmy Kimmel — serving as emcee for the third time -- this year's show expertly navigated the potentially choppy waters of the first show since the infamous slap heard 'round the world.From some long-awaited wins to some truly touching acceptance speeches, here are all the best, biggest and most memorable highlights from Sunday's 95th Oscars ceremony!After parachuting into the Dolby Theatre (literally dropping down from the rafters), Kimmel delivered a monologue that was gently playful, poking fun at some of the nominees but with a loving and considerate tone — for the most part.After ribbing Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Tom Cruise, he addressed last year's infamous slap toward the end of his monologue, explaining, «We want you to have fun, feel safe, and most importantly, we want me to feel safe. So, we have strict policies in place.

with his performance as the King in “Elvis,” and who’s nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars on Sunday.The kid’s on the brink of the big-big-time, right when the industry needs it badly. For more than a decade, Hollywood has searched in vain for worthy successors to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio while trade publications have mourned the death of the old-school Leading Man. Our former heartthrobs can still sell tickets (see: “Top Gun: Maverick”), but they are getting long in the tooth and caring less and less about the state of their beards.While plenty of great young actors are on the rise, there’s no cultural consensus around most of them. Timothée Chalamet, 27, is a major talent and has rapidly become a film fixture, but has so far preferred prestige films (“Dune” is as arthouse as science-fiction gets) by filmmakers such as Luca Guadagnino and Wes Anderson, whose work most Americans don’t know or go out of their way to see.Smiley Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield are quirky if good-looking and respectable Brits (Garfield, who has a British accent, is technically British-American) and already, respectively, 41 and 39.

Tom Cruise will not be at the 95th Academy Awards.ET has confirmed the star's absence is due to him already being back on set overseas for.  is nominated for six Oscars.

For nearly a century, the Academy Awards of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has provided the highest levels of achievement to professionals working in the entertainment industry.  Every year, the Academy hosts an awards ceremony watched by millions of Americans to honor the best films and actors/actresses. More than 9,000 industry experts in Hollywood are members of the organization and help to select the nominees for the various categories.  Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have received Oscars throughout their career, including Marlon Brando, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.  Who has won the most Oscars in the history of the Academy Awards? Aside from acting, the Academy Awards offer a wide variety of high-profile awards for other professions within the film and entertainment industry.The individual who has won the most awards in the history of the organization was Disney founder and animation pioneer Walt Disney.Through a career that expanded across decades, Disney won 26 Oscars and received 59 nominations.  The period Disney received his Academy accolades occurred between 1932 and 1969 in the Best Animated Short category for "Three Little Pigs," "The Ugly Duckling," "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Blustery Day." Disney continued receiving awards from the Academy after his death in 1967 and is widely regarded today as a media and entertainment innovator.  By the time of his death, Disney had turned his company into the biggest animation studio in the United States and founded the Disneyland theme park to entertain millions.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Tom Cruise got a hero’s welcome in Hollywood over the last week of February. The best actor Oscar nominee for “Top Gun: Maverick” had been largely absent from Los Angeles during prime awards campaigning season, held up filming his latest “Mission: Impossible” epic, and the town was more than compensated for his absence when he finally touched down. On Sunday Feb. 26, “Top Gun: Maverick” producer Jerry Bruckheimer opened his Beverly Hills home to power players and stars (many of them voters for the annual Academy Awards) where Cruise was guest of honor. Days later, former Paramount chief and show business stateswoman Shery Lansing gave an equally well-attended cocktail party to fete Cruise. It’s not surprising that the industry would want to celebrate the man who Steven Spielberg said “saved Hollywood’s ass” by getting moviegoers back in theaters. But were the events legit in the eyes of the film academy, which enforces how and when Oscar hopefuls get to woo the figures that hand them golden trophies? The Academy’s bylaws say that after Oscar nominations are released, campaigns cannot “invite members to attend any parties, dinners, lunches, or other non-screening events that promote nominated films.”

Lucy Liu didn't feel "validated" when other people said they had had bad experiences working with Bill Murray. The 54-year-old star previously accused the 72-year-old actor of using "inexcusable and unacceptable" language towards her when they filmed 2000's 'Charlie's Angels' and she admitted she has felt "sad" when other people came forward with their own stories, including Geena Davis, who said he had verbally berated her while making 'Quick Change', and Seth Green, who claimed Bill had dropped him in a bin "by his ankles" backstage at 'Saturday Night Live' when he was just nine years old. Lucy told People magazine: "I felt sad that it happened to other people.

Will Smith notwithstanding — Sacheen Littlefeather is virtually assured a spot in the In Memoriam segment when the show airs Sunday, March 12, on ABC.But her family would rather the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just forgot about the late actress.Publicly recognizing her will continue the “biggest blunder in the history of the Oscars,” Littlefeather’s sister Rosalind Cruz told The Post Monday.“They will [include her] because they need to keep covering up for themselves,” Cruz, 65 said of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “They’re endorsing a Pretendian and keep pushing the lie and slander of our family and they don’t care.”Littlefeather, who died of breast cancer at 75 in October, established herself in Oscars lore in 1973 when she declined Marlon Brando’s Best Actor Oscar on his behalf.

Russell Brand and Sen. Bernie Sanders are mad as hell, and they don’t want you to take it anymore. That sums up Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher, as the actor/comedian and the politician railed against the machine and said the system has to be changed to give a voice to the working class.
