Homage in film can be a tricky proposition. Hew too close to the original, and you’re just making copies with no new toner; veer too far away and folks will wonder why you bothered. Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978) is that perfect beast then - a Jaws “rip-off” that bows to its source while winking at the audience, and yet still manages to be a wholly separate, wildly entertaining ride.
Released by Roger Corman’s New World Pictures in North America in early August (capitalizing on Jaws’ still undulating waves), Piranha was that rare New World phenomenon: It made some good coin ($16 million worldwide against a $600,000 budget) And was well received by critics. Steven Spielberg himself was so won over by Dante’s take and talent that it led to collaborations on Twilight Zone: The Movie, Gremlins, and other projects. Piranha proves that you can hug someone, slap a “Kick Me” sign on their back,...

Though Drake hails from Canada – not exactly close to the great state of Texas – his heart beats strong for the city of Houston. He credits the locale for being a crucial point of growth in his early music career and now he's giving back – by opening a strip club.

The 29-year-old rapper/actor announced the venture Monday night during a pop-up event held for the second annual Houston Appreciation Weekend. Drake presided behind the deejay booth inside the city's Toyota Center arena, ensuring that dollar bills rained down on revelers.

Who says the Rhony girls can't laugh at themselves?
On Tuesday, Trainwreck director Judd Apatow played LuAnn de Lesseps in a Rhony skit on Watch What Happens Live.
But what does the real Countess think of Apatow's portrayal?
"I thought it was funny. I think that spoofing is the biggest form of flattery, so it was really fun and I loved it. It made me laugh. Anything that makes me laugh, I love," de Lesseps, 50, told People on Wednesday at the Sushi Roxx Grand Opening in New York.

Wamg was among members of the media and invited guests to witness the Grand Opening of Fast and Furious Supercharged, the latest movie-themed attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. The presentation treated everyone to an extensive display of cars from the movies, a dance performance, speeches by top Universal execs and L.A.’s mayor, all topped off by an exciting assortment of live car stunts including a 90-foot jump through a billboard that caught us by surprise.
After the presentation concluded, we were lucky enough to go on a test-ride of the adrenalin-pumping, high-speed adventure with Dom, Hobbs and the rest of the Fast and Furious gang. Coming at the end of the famous Back-lot Tram Tour, Supercharged literally puts you smack dab in the middle of a high-flying, breakneck speed chase. The technology is pretty cool, in that with the giant 360-degree screen and 3D glasses,...

We know 17 year old Kylie Jenner already got her lips plumped up ... but did she go ahead and enhance her chest already too? The reality TV star's extremely low cut dress on the red carpet Friday night sparked some implant rumors online, after she showed off a lot of cleavage in the sheer black gown that left very little to the imagination. Kylie was attending the Grand Opening of Sugar Factory in South Beach, Miami, sporting long hair extensions and a darker lip. Between the racy dress and long locks, she really looks a lot like older sister Kim Kardashian here. The teen clearly knew her dress was sparking some conversation though, because she quickly took to both Instagram and Snapchat to shut down the plastic surgery talk. "There's a lot of duct tape under this dress holding these suckers up," she captioned a photo of her from the arrivals line on Instagam.

It may not be the Grand Opening celebration that the Academy of Motion Pictures Art & Sciences is going to be throwing when they launch the long-awaited Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures at some point in 2017 as is now planned, but the Los Angeles debut of the much-acclaimed Hollywood Costume exhibit imported by the Academy from the Victoria And Albert Museum in London is really something to see. The Academy’s Ellen Harrington told me at Wednesday night’s opening event (in the space at Wilshire and Fairfax that will eventually become the Acad’s Museum ) that it took them months just to get it in the kind of shape needed to house this remarkable exhibit celebrating the art of costume design and its vital importance, in so many ways, to the art of movies. With over 150 costumes including 40 newly added ones just for the Los Angeles version this is an...

Starting a podcast wouldn’t feel right without some technical difficulties right off the bat, and on our second episode in, my co-host Justine Browning and I found out an unfortunate fact – my Blue Snowball microphone doesn’t exactly get along with her laptop. Since I hiked across New York City to do the show, we attempted a salvage mission on this week’s episode, one that honestly turned out much better than expected. Please show some mercy as we were forced to record using only an internal microphone. Being the troopers that we are though, we powered ahead despite the small obstacle and are now bringing you another episode of I’d Rather Be At The Movies.
This week on our “still under construction” podcast, Justine and I discuss the typical new releases and whatnot, but we start by getting a little off topic and ranting away our recent...

This Exclusive Portrait of Miley Cyrus was taken on September 8th, 2011, at the Grand Opening of The Topshop on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

Oh hey, Cameron Diaz and Benicio Del Toro! The 41-year-old actress and 46-year-old actor were spotted out and about together in NYC on Saturday night. The talented duo was caught leaving the Tao Downtown Grand Opening bash together. Diaz walked several steps ahead of Del Toro while hiding her face from the cameras by looking away and holding up her hand. Del Toro could be seen trailing along the blond beauty a few feet behind her. A third gentleman escorted Diaz during their exit onto the street. For the night out, Diaz sported black heels, tight blue jeans, a white shirt and a black purse. Del Toro looked casual in a dark ensemble.

For an adult comedy, Grand Masti is all set to embark on a good start for itself. The film benefits from a terrific recall value that Masti as a series boasts of. Moreover, the entire promotional campaign has been bang on target, hence finding its target audience on it’s way. While this also means that children and to an extent family audience are out of picture for this Indra Kumar directed affair, the fact also remains that the film would see the biggest ever opening for the director who had started his career with family flicks like Dil, Beta and Raja.
The film is plagued though by the stay order in Punjab and Haryana on charges of vulgarity. However as it happens with most films, this one too is expected to sail through. As things stand today, the film should take 60%-70% opening for itself, which would ensure that...
