Lady Gaga will take the field for her Super Bowl halftime set in three days, and she’s successfully kept plans for her show under wraps — so what’s in store?
The pop star, 30, fielded questions Thursday at a press conference in Houston. And though she played coy, avoiding specifics to keep the event a “surprise,” Gaga dished on what we can expect.
Here’s what she had to say.
What songs will she sing — and will the meat dress make a reprise?
“We went through my whole career and we chose songs that we hope that both the football...

Twenty-three years after the beloved cult classic Dazed And Confused was released, writer/director Richard Linklater is giving us a spiritual sequel in the form of Everybody Wants Some!! which opens in theatres April 8th. While Dazed And Confused gave us a very slice of life look at High School in the 70s at the end of the school year, Everybody Wants Some!! gives us a brief glimpse of College in the 80s at the beginning of the semester for a group of freshman. Set in 1980, the film follows the hilarious shenanigans of a Texas college baseball team during the weekend before class starts. We Are Movie Geeks caught up with three of the cast members ahead of the movie’s release. Blake Jenner (Jake), Tyler Hoechlin (McReynolds) and Ryan Guzman (Roper) sat down with Tom Stockman to talk about their film and what’s it’s like working for Richard Linklater.

"Shrek," "The Lion King," "Spider-man," "Diner." No, not the movies. The Broadway musicals. Yes, the 1982 Barry Levinson movie "Diner" is coming to Broadway, folks. And since Bono and the Edge were busy, Sheryl Crow has been tapped to write the music and the lyrics.
"Diner" is set in 1959 and follows a group of high school friends who reunite for a wedding; the group reconvene at the Fells Point Diner, their teenage hangout. The movie stars Steve Guttenberg (it was the 80s), Daniel Stern, Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly and Paul Reiser.
Crow, by her own admission, is a "huge fan of 'Diner'...I knew exactly who these men and women were and I feverishly began writing."
Alongside Sheryl Crow, Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall will direct and choreograph. We can only hope that Steve Guttenberg reprises his role; after all, how full can his schedule possibly be?

In her newest video, Gaga pays homage to classic clips of the 1980s.

The first thing that strikes you about Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" video is the fact that it's steeped in the rich, gauzy traditions of classic pop clips and noticeably missing any of the allegories, agendas or, uh, afterbirth of her previous work.
Simply put, "Edge" is an homage to an entire genre of videos that has since gone by the wayside — namely, the eternally soft-focused, ethereal mini-movies of the 1980s, (mostly) pop productions that reimagined cityscapes as dream-like fantasy worlds, where the just-wet streets shone like mirrors, the manholes frothed with steam and no piece of fabric was left un-billowed. These were decidedly big-budget, unapologetically Hollywood things, shot on studio backlots, glowing with million-dollar lighting budgets and given extra grandeur thanks to sweeping, soaring crane shots.

Remember, for a while there, when everyone was complaining that Lady Gaga's videos had, perhaps, gotten too big, too arty, too obtuse? That maybe the hype surrounding each clip's premiere overshadowed the clip itself? Well, for the foreseeable future, those criticisms can be put to rest.
Because on Thursday (June 16), Gaga premiered her brand-new video for "The Edge of Glory," a piece that's a little bit Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach," a little bit Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and a whole lot of " '80s videos where someone dances on a fire escape while smoke pours from a well-lit window."
There is no hyperkinetic, women-in-prison kink, no odes to Weimar Germany and no birthing of a machine gun. Shoot, there's not even a single Christian allegory to be seen (Ok,...

Chicago – Beloved actor and legendary easy rider Dennis Hopper lost his long battle with prostate cancer this morning at age 74. With a career spanning over the last half-century, Hopper is best known for directing, co-writing and co-starring in 1969’s counterculture classic “Easy Rider”. The script awarded Hopper his first of two Oscar nominations (the other he received for his memorable supporting role in 1987’s “Hoosiers”).
Dennis Hopper
The Hollywood icon died at his home in Venice Beach, Calif., on Saturday, May 29th, from complications due to prostate cancer. He was reportedly surrounded by his children at the time of his death. Hopper was diagnosed with the disease in late 2009, and by March of this year, the cancer had metastasized to his bones. That same month, Hopper made his last public appearance when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Since you're likely unfamiliar with Carney, we here at EW thought a little primer was in order. Here's what we know: • Carney (pictured) is a dead-ringer for Vincent Kartheiser, who plays...
