• Dakota Johnson Says Her 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Character is a Feminist and Jamie Dornan Was Very Protective

    We're only a few short weeks until the moment when Fifty Shades of Grey will finally make its grand debut in theaters and then we'll all definitively know whether or not the film adaptation does the book justice. Needless to say, both Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are doing loads of interviews to promote the film. They are also both covering the March 2015 issue of Glamour and the interview that accompanies it is pretty revealing.

  • Ex-'Dateline' Reporter Chris Hansen Returning to TV with 'Killer Instinct' on ID

    Even if the name "Chris Hansen" does not ring an immediate bell, you probably still know who he is. Hansen starred in "Dateline NBC's" investigative "To Catch a Predator" series, which began in 2004 and ran for years until the network moved in a different direction and let him go in 2013. Hansen is a 20-year veteran of NBC and his reporting has made him an Emmy winner who was not going to be missing from television for long. After a bit of a break, Hansen has been hired for Investigation Discovery's new six-part series "Killer Instinct with Chris Hansen." "Investigation Discovery is thrilled to bring Chris Hansen's journalistic expertise and passion for the truth to our viewers. Chris and our partners at ITN Productions are working hard to produce an investigative newsmagazine that will draw in the viewer and make them feel as if they are right there in the moment — living every jolt and shock as the criminal drama unfolds. That is what Chris does best, and we look forward to what will unfold in 'Killer Instinct,'" said Henry Schleiff, group president of Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel, Destination America, Discovery Family Channel and Discovery Life Channel. Hansen is thrilled to be back doing what he loves best: working in the field in a dicey situation.

  • NBC Puts Brakes on New Cosby Comedy After Netflix Shelves Special Scheduled for Streaming Next Week

    It has been a devastating day for business in the life of comedic legend Bill Cosby. In the last several days he has watched as several old rape claims against him have been met in the media by a new rash of claims from women who have now gone on the record to tell their own alleged personal accounts of suffering at his hands. At first, Cosby's attorney simply denied that his client had done anything wrong and then insisted these old claims were baseless. But by late last night things shifted when the self-proclaimed world's first supermodel, Janice Dickinson, said Cosby had raped her back in 1982. Cosby's attorney came out swinging, but it was too late to save two new projects he has been working on. First, Netflix announced that it is shelving a special show Cosby had already filmed for it. It was scheduled to begin streaming next week and it is now on hold. If Cosby somehow pulls out of this scandal with his career at all intact, then there is a chance Netflix will show his special. Unfortunately, that is not going to be the case for Cosby's other deal. NBC was working on a new Cosby project that would have been executive produced by "The Cosby Show's" Tom Werner. In it, Cosby was supposed to star as Jonathan Franklin, head of a multigenerational family, who would use his humor and life experience to guide his daughters, sons-in-law and grandkids. It kind of sounded like an updated spin on the formula that worked so well 25 years ago. Unfortunately, it will never see the light of day because NBC has killed it completely.

  • Laura Ingalls Wilder's ' 'Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography' Will Be Published After Being Hidden for 84 Years

    Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books will be thrilled to learn that 57 years after her death a new, more realistic account of her life is headed into bookstores next week. Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography was actually written by Wilder long before she penned her classic Little House on the Prairie series, but she couldn't find anyone brave enough to publish it. Now Pamela Smith Hill, writer of Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer's Life, has edited the original manuscript and added in more true-to-life occurrences.
