Did you ever watch “Forrest Gump” and wonder what it would be like if Forrest didn’t run during that section of the film and instead walk, accompanied by a Rolling Stones soundtrack? Well, if so, you’re in luck because that’s the basic premise of the new music video for the track “Mess It Up” by the aforementioned Stones. Except in the main role, we don’t get Tom Hanks, but we do see Nicholas Hoult, which isn’t a bad replacement.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Julia Roberts is an icon of the romantic-comedy genre, but there’s one famous rom-com the Oscar-winner happened to turn down: Nora Ephron’s 1998 classic “You’ve Got Mail.” Roberts revealed the scoop during a recent appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live.” Ephron’s film memorably paired Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the story of business rivals unaware they are falling in love with each other online. “You’ve Got Mail” marked the third Hanks-Ryan romantic comedy after “Joe Versus the Volcano” (1990) and “Sleepless in Seattle” (1993), the latter title also being directed by Ephron.

“Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.”“That’s a really good question, and I’ve never been asked it,” she said when questioned which of her films she would like to revisit. Her answer was “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” where she starred as a food writer named Jules who is in love with her best friend, Michael (Dermot Mulroney), and rushes to tell him before he ties the knot with his girlfriend Kimmy (Cameron Diaz).In the sequel, the “Erin Brockovich” star noted that because “there are so many people” in the first movie, she would want “to see what they’re doing and how Kimmy and Michael’s marriage is going.”A caller then asked Roberts who she believed Michael should have ended up with.“Well, I mean, of course, Jules.

Masters of the Air, a new series set for Apple TV+ from executive producers Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman.The limited series comes to the streamer next year and stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, Nate Mann, Rafferty Law, Academy Award-nominee Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa.Apple TV+ will release the first two episodes of its nine-episode season on Friday, January 26, followed by one new episode every Friday through March 15, 2024.Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.Ranging in location from the bucolic fields and villages of southeast England, to the harsh deprivations of a German prisoner-of-war camp, and depicting a unique and crucial time in world history, Masters of the Air is said to be enormous in both scale and scope.

Tom Hanks has revealed what he believes to be the most “stupid” moment of his career.While appearing on The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on his 30-year career before focusing specifically on his experience filming Ron Howard’s space drama Apollo 13.Released in 1995, Apollo 13 tells the true story of Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert, astronauts who find themselves in life-threatening danger when their journey to the moon goes wrong.It was while filming the movie’s most quoted line – when Hank’s Lovell says: “Houston, we have a problem” – that the actor found himself in an embarrassing situation.Hanks told Norton: “Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton and I were recreating the serious moment right after ‘Houston we have a problem,’ and we’re going up and down on grips making us look weightless.”The Forrest Gump actor said he wouldn’t usually have been embarrassed by this, but that day, the cast and crew happened to receive a visit from Lovell himself.Hanks continued: “We looked ridiculous and when I looked down there was Jim looking up at us,” adding: “I have never felt more stupid in my life.”Apollo 13 was nominated for nine Oscars, winning two in the Editing and Sound categories.Hanks appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote an exhibition called The Moonwalkers, which he narrates and co-wrote with director Christopher Riley.The installation tells the stories of the Apollo space missions, with the technology in the rooms designed to make audiences feel as if they’re sat alongside the astronauts.Earlier this year, Hanks admitted that he “hates” some of the movies he’s starred in, although he didn’t specify which ones.Speaking with The New Yorker, the actor explained: “Ok, let’s admit this: We all

“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” — Brenda Lee’s 1958 evergreen — finally made it to No. 1 after 65 years this week. Another little yuletide ditty that you might have heard of — Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — is right behind her at No.

It's been 60 years since she first started out on her career in the music industry, but at 77 Cher remains as in demand as ever - releasing her first ever Christmas album. But aside from her busy schedule, Cher is kept busy by her much younger boyfriend - Andrew Edwards, who at 37 is 40 years her junior.The singer and her music exec beau went public with the age-gap romance last year, and the pair are still going strong. In a rare chat about the romance, she opens up to OK! about just how she makes life work.

“Ok, will someone PLEASE tell me… when will I feel old? This is ridiculous, I keep hearing these numbers, but I honestly can’t understand them,” tweeted pop superstar Cher, when she turned 77 in May. And as she chats to OK! about her new album, family festivities and her Christmas memories, we’re just as dumbfounded. She may tell us she is “cranky and teary because I’ve been working really hard” but she’s a funny, feisty ball of energy.

Julia Roberts was “crushed” when the original version of her hit 1990 rom-com “Pretty Woman” was initially scrapped.“It was going to be a much darker film called ‘$3,000,’ ” Roberts, 56, said, referring to the amount it cost Edward (played by Richard Gere) to spend the night with Vivian Ward. “Vivian was a drug addict and the movie ended with him leaving her in a side street, throwing the money at her, and driving away,” Roberts said during an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” Friday, while promoting her Netflix film “Leave the World Behind.” “I got that part in that movie and felt really proud, but when the production company folded and the film disappeared I was crushed,” the “Eat, Pray, Love” star added.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In body-swap comedies, the acting is its own kind of brazen put-on fun. Adult actors get to channel their inner innocent kid; young actors get to channel their “serious” adult. And that’s why, ever since the original “Freaky Friday” (1976) brought this genre into being, it’s been marked by instances of true Hollywood artistry, like Tom Hanks’ classic performance in “Big” (though that wasn’t technically a swap comedy) or the lyrically funny bedlam that Jennifer Garner brought off in “13 Going on 30,” one of the best movies of its year.

Graham Norton is back for another evening of laughter and chat as he interviews a group of celebs on his famous sofa. And this week's lineup is full of Hollywood A-listers who have won four Academy Awards between them.
