Another week of Jeopardy! is underway, and another controversy followed Monday’s (September 19) episode after host Ken Jennings accepted a final answer that some fans deemed “illegible.” The moment in question came during Final Jeopardy! when returning champion Emmett Stanton, who won last Friday’s game, wrote his answer to the clue: “The governor of Massachusetts wrote, it ‘is a poor document, but a mighty act…wrong in its delay till January, but grand & sublime after all.'” It was a crucial answer as the game was pretty much even heading into Final Jeopardy, with fellow contestants Suzanne Goss and Jason Freeman both standing at 8,400, while Stanton had 8,000. The closeness of the game made Jennings’ ruling that much more controversial to the viewers watching at home. Stanton revealed his response to the final clue, where he had written the correct answer, “Emancipation Proclamation,” but his handwriting was barely legible. He...

This past November, mass-murderer and cult leader Charles Manson died of natural causes at age 83. Immediately following his long-awaited death, several people started fighting over the infamous killer’s body — and now we finally know who gets it. On March 12, TMZ reported that Jason Freeman, a man who claims to be Mason's grandson, has been given custody of the body. However, that doesn't mean that the battle is over. Michael Brunner, son of Manson follower Mary Brunner, filed legal docs looking into whether or not Jason is actually related to Mason. He apparently refused a DNA test, which makes him look suspect. It's no surprise that there would be some fighting over the estate, because it comes with the rights to the Manson name. Think books, movies, and TV shows... yeah, there could be a lot of money involved. Several people had filed for custody of the body, which seemed just plain weird to us.

Despite dying last year, it looks as if 2018 is set to be a big one for Charles Manson.
Grabbing the most attention is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which apparently revolves around the neighbours to the house in which the notorious Manson murders took place. Following shortly on that film’s heels will be the biopic Charlie Says, to be directed by American Psycho‘s Mary Harron. And now, on top of all that, it’s just been announced that we’re to get Manson’s Bloodline as well, a documentary about his life and death.
In a move that definitely indicates a tone of respectfulness and sobriety, TMZ reports that the film is being executive produced by professional ghost hunter Zak Bagans, of the Travel Channel’s paranormal investigation show Ghost Adventures. Bagans explains that his pic will cover the entirety of Manson’s life,...

"Everybody cut, everybody cut. Everybody cut, everybody cut. Everybody cut ... Footloose."
With that clarion call, Kenny Loggins sent a generation of teenagers into spasms of what approximated dancing in the 1980s. The soundtrack to the 1984 film "Footloose" made almost as much of a pop culture impact as the movie itself, and tracks like the title song, "Almost Paradise," and "Let's Hear It For the Boy" were ubiquitous at middle school dances and roller rinks throughout America.
Now, we're on the verge of a "Footloose" remake, this time transplanted from the Midwest to the South. The movie looks ... well, interesting ... but can a remade soundtrack be as big of a draw as a remade film? We're not so sure, but that doesn't mean the "Footloose" soundtrack isn't worth checking out.
To go along with the geographical changes of the film, "Footloose" has countrified the music. Nowhere is this more evident than in the title track,...
