The partnership between Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese has resulted in some of the most highly acclaimed films in Hollywood history, earning them both widespread critical acclaim. But do you know which movie marked the beginning of a groundbreaking collaboration that ultimately led to their success in the entertainment industry?
Robert De Niro was nominated for Best Supporting Actor
Well, it was none other than the 1973 crime drama Mean Streets that has been deemed as culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant to this date. De Niro’s portrayal of Johnny Boy Civello earned him high praise and accolades. However, all this might not have been possible, and this movie would have looked significantly different if De Niro had made a different decision.

Fallon’s Tonight Show has been distinguished by an array of its own style of comedy segments, signature “bits,” SNL-style sketches, all sorts of games, and musical performances, the best of which have not only enjoyed consistent interest on YouTube and social media, but also work well as snippets representing the show’s most memorable material.

Abrams opened several dates on the 2023 North American leg of Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” and will do so again when Swift plays shows in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver later this year (get tickets here).
During one of the Cincinnati dates of “The Eras Tour,” Abrams joined Swift on stage to perform “I Miss You, I’m Sorry.” She recounted the experience during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, saying: “My set was canceled for safety reasons. Then Taylor texted me being like, ‘Hey, come out with me and do ‘I Miss You, I’m Sorry?” We ran it one time in her room and then did it there.

NBCUniversal showed major love for its film division, primarily the highly anticipated Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-led “Wicked,” during its 2024 upfront presentation Monday in New York.
While not the traditional venue for touting upcoming movies — as this week is all about wooing Madison Avenue to shell out big bucks for prime ad placement on TV — with film chief-turned-overall content boss Donna Langley on stage for her first upfront, the move was a natural moment for synergy.
Langley teed up a new trailer for “Wicked,” a treat just for those attending the presentation at Radio City Music Hall, and promised it will drop wide later this week.

Jimmy Kimmel is taking a break this week—from his show, that is. He’s still got work to do.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be airing repeats all week as its host travels to New York, where he’s scheduled to make his first-ever visit to Late Night With Seth Meyers tonight. He’s expected to appear at ABC’s upfront event tomorrow.
Kimmel will be back in the studio May 20th for just three days before going dark again for an extended Memorial Day weekend Thursday May 23rd through Tuesday May 28th.

Despite many walking out on Jerry Seinfeld’s Duke Commencement Address, the stand-up comedian still delivered his speech and apologized for the “sexual undertones” in Bee Movie.
“I made a cartoon movie about bees you may have watched as a child,” he said. “If any of you felt slightly uncomfortable about the sexual undertones in the relationship between Barry the bee and Vanessa, the florist who saves his life, I would like to apologize for that now.”
Seinfeld continued, “I may not have calibrated that perfectly, but I would not change it.”

Maya Rudolph brought Beyoncé back to “Saturday Night Live,” reprising her impression to give Queen B another shot at the spicy chicken wing talk show “Hot Ones.”
Opposite Mikey Day’s take on host Sean Evans, Beyoncé returns for the challenging YouTube interview segment, cocky about eating the wings until they become uncomfortably hot. As things get more unbearable, she has increasingly difficult instructions for her assistant, played by Kenan Thompson.
“This wing is stompin’ my ass,” she says at one point. “Damn, my bones are hot. That wing was a real one. Ooh, you’re ’bout to make me sing — This ain’t Texas!”
Beyond the “Texas Hold ‘Em” nod, a highlight was Kenan enthusiastically squirting Beyoncé’s “$6,000 cocoa lotion” into her mouth to soothe the heat, a masterclass in bizarre physical humor.
Rudolph last played Beyoncé appearing on “Hot Ones” on a March 2021 episode of “SNL.” Before this new “Hot Ones” sketch,...

“I gotta say, the most yeses of my career was on this movie and the fastest yeses because they all love the idea of imagination, going back to your childhood,” Krasinski shared.
When discussing the ice cube, voiced by Bradley Cooper, the Quiet Place star explained, “I don’t know why when I created this guy, in my head, I was like, ‘He’s from Philly, and he’s a little bummed to be living in Arizona.'”

Oprah Winfrey said that she owns the “major role” she played in modern diet culture, saying she has taken time to process her own shame and now wants to support her audience in their own shift toward healthier mindsets.

It all started when Rob Reiner tried to convince Albert Brooks to let him film his own version of “My Dinner with Andre” titled “My Lunch with Albert Brooks.” His high school chum refused. After someone else came to Brooks wanting to make a documentary about him, the financing fell through. Then the men decided to combine the two things.
“There’s about 4000 documentaries now,” said Brooks at an FYC event with Reiner and moderator Judd Apatow this week at the Academy of Motion Pictures. “It’s the way they’re willing to spend money without spending real money. Everyone has a story and 99 out of 100 are done pretty much the same way. Either the person’s no longer living, or they’re being talked about from an off-stage voice. So to be able to do that this way…that’s what makes it special. Because it’s Rob and...

The late Matthew Perry was a man of many talents venturing into several mediums of entertainment. While many people know him as Chandler Bing from Friends, he has also made some successful films over the years including Fools Rush In, The Whole Nine Yards, and 17 Again. The actor also made his theatre debut in 2003 with the play Sexual Perversity in Chicago.

He went on to become a playwright with his next venture, The End of Longing, where he plays an exaggerated version of himself named Jack. Jumping from a hit show like Friends to creating/starring in a Broadway show was a completely different experience. The actor stated that he was spoiled by the ‘royal’ treatment on TV shows and he got a reality check while making his play.

The 2024 action-comedy, The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt as the leading stars made its way to the theaters earlier this month to much fanfare. Packed with stunts, adventure, humor, and romance, the flick has earned its way to the top spot in the audience’s hearts. Also featuring the likes of Winston Duke, Aaron-Taylor Johnson, and Hannah Waddingham as part of its cast, interestingly enough, one behind-the-scenes incident would connect the British actress from the list directly with Thor actor, Chris Hemsworth.
Famed for his staggering physique and command of the screens, the Marvel actor undoubtedly boasts immense versatility, proving it with the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie. However, the uncanny connection between Waddingham and Hemsworth goes beyond the scope of acting and has much more to do with their nativity to the Australian landscape.

His costar, Norman Reedus, revealed one thing about Lincoln that most fans would never know, and that is how he literally punches his costars on the set of The Walking Dead. They end up getting injured, and apparently, the actor would deny all of it.

However, there was a point in her life when Laura Linney believed that her career was nearing its end. This happened when she was a part of a production of The Seagull at the Lyceum Theater.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings made a solid $432 million when it opened in 2021. While that may look like a disappointing number on paper, the box office was still struggling massively in the closing months of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Regardless, with a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score, it remains one of Marvel Studios' best-reviewed Phase 4 titles and put Simu Liu on the map. Unfortunately, the character has been sidelined ever since and it's now been close to three years since we last saw Shang-Chi on our screens.
Destin Daniel Cretton is expected to helm a sequel - rumoured to be titled Shang-Chi and the Wreckage of Time - after moving on from Avengers 5. However, he's currently busy working on Disney+'s Wonder Man series, leaving us to wonder just how much of a priority the Shang-Chi follow-up is.

The duo tied the knot with a vow to never be apart until it all ended in 2022 as the former couple divorced. However, for the roasters, making fun of it at Brady’s expense was just source materials for the show.

George Lucas changed the course of science fiction and influenced generations to come with his epic space opera Star Wars. While the filmmaker only helmed the first film in the original trilogy, he was involved in the creative decisions that have made the franchise one of the most loved pop cultural milestones in Hollywood.
While Lucas’ billion-dollar franchise has fans worldwide, the movies have also come under stark criticism. Since the beginning of the franchise with A New Hope, Lucas has been accused of writing bad dialogue and crafting stories that were more kid-friendly. Lucas himself admitted to his shortcomings with dialogue and mentioned that the movie does not require smart lines.
