In summer 2010, something described in a Variety article as a 'melding of a Broadway show and a Gray Line bus tour' was announced and I was very confused. And maybe appalled. In late fall of that year, when the giant buses labelled The Ride hit the streets, none of these feelings subsided. Now, seven years later, The Ride is a hard-to-describe but well-known fixture on New York City streets, even being parodied on The Simpsons and, more recently, Difficult People. Yet, despite the long lines to board, it still has yet to make money.

Being 13 is difficult. It can be a scary, emotional, lonely time in a young person’s life. Depending on when you grew up, being 13 meant different things: Most millennials have the cringeworthy evidence of braces and Aeropostale fits in an overflowing Facebook album from 2009. Others didn’t have social media’s living reminders, like “Big Mouth” star Andrew Rannells.

“I would’ve made so many stupid videos and taken so many stupid pictures,” he said to IndieWire.

But no matter how private or public your adolescence was, the creators of “Big Mouth” want viewers to know that we’ve all been there — yes, every one of us. To the girls who first got their period on a class trip, you are not alone. To the kids going through trials with acne, bacne, and buttne, you are not alone. Everyone gets curb-stomped by puberty, and “Big Mouth” wants to help.

Halloween Cassette Fundraiser for World Wildlife Federation: On Cassette Store Day, October 14th, Burning Witches Records will release Witches' Halloween Brew, a 19-song collection on cassette and digital featuring a wide range of synth-centric composers.

Tituss Burgess – they don’t love you like we love you.

The actor opened up about his character’s “ode to Beyoncé” in season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to PeopleTV on the red carpet at the 2017 Emmy Awards on Sunday.

Of one moment – where he wore a “Hold Up” dress replica, strutting the New York City streets while haplessly swinging a baseball bat – Burgess says, “That felt good, a little too good.”

“Kinda want my own, like, smashing window batting range in my backyard,” adds Burgess. “It felt great.”

Burgess also channeled the music diva’s black-and-white “Sorry” video during the same episode,...

Atlanta actors, listen up! Stay in the loop about what’s currently filming in your fair city (and projects, big and small, seeking talent) with our weekly roundup. The Peach City streets are alive and chattering about NBA star Kyrie Irving. The Boston Celtics’ new addition was recently spotted filming “Uncle Drew,” a feature-length film based on the character that first appeared in a series of Pepsi Max ads, around the city. The film is apparently a “love letter to basketball” and will feature legends like Shaquille O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Chris Webber, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie. We're hoping for casting information any day now. Keep an eye out. “Schoolhouse,” a well-paid feature film is due to shoot in October and is looking to fill a diverse set of roles. Nathan DuConge is casting and it will be an impressive bit of nonunion work for anyone who lands a part.

Method Man praised late Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy as an all-time great Mc on The Chris Gethard Show. "In his heyday, he was top five in New York for sure," he said of Prodigy, who died in June at age 42.

Gethard, one of Rolling Stone's 50 Funniest People Right Now, highlighted Mobb Deep's 1994 track "Shook Ones (Part II)" as an example of Prodigy's brilliance. He also argued the "top five" assessment was high praise, coming from the Wu Tang Clan great – to which Method Man added, "I applaud excellence."

"I'm still a fan,...

Fritz Lang continues his take-no-prisoners indictment of America’s curious relationship with crime; this time he presents the thesis that an innocent man can be a pawn in cosmic game of injustice. Three-time loser Henry Fonda, the glummest actor in ’30s films, doesn’t mean to rob or kill, but gosh darn it, They Made Him a Criminal. Those considerations aside, it’s a wonderful cinematic achievement, made all the better by a decent digital restoration.

Mubi's retrospective, Catherine Breillat, Auteur of Porn?, is showing April 4 - June 3, 2017 in Germany.Sex Is ComedyThroughout her career, Catherine Breillat has provided viewers with a long-form meta-cinema experience. While metacinema is as old as the medium itself, since her debut feature A Real Young Girl in 1976, Breillat has developed a distinct form of it: one that collapses ‘autobiographical’ material, various artistic sensibilities, and the process of filmmaking itself.Like dozens of other English words—such as ‘aesthetic’ or ‘abject’—the word ‘meta’ has been largely misused or misapplied with regard to the film and literary criticism. Regarding the consumption of fiction, the appropriate use of the term 'metafiction,' 'metafilm,' et cetera, has its basis in the Greek meta, which does not translate directly into English but can be understood as a preposition similar to the English word ‘about’ (‘having to do with,’ or ‘on the subject of’). Metafiction is therefore,...

He’s all that with a baseball bat.

Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess) is taking his musical cues from the Queen Bey herself in the first teaser trailer for season 3 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

In the clip, which also announces the show’s May 19 return, Titus first channels Beyoncé in her black-and-white “Sorry” video before being rudely interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Kimberly, use your key, I’m Lemonade-ing,” he yells to his roommate Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper).

In this next chapter following the 2014 hit, legendary hit man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is forced back out of retirement by a former associate plotting to seize control of a shadowy international assassins’ guild. Bound by a blood oath to help him, John travels to Rome where he squares off against some of the world’s deadliest killers.

After unleashing mayhem on the criminals who killed his dog, retired super assassin John Wick retrieves his beloved 1969 Mustang from the Russian mobsters who stole it, only to be pursued in a spectacular high-speed car chase through crowded New York City streets. Returning home, John’s plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D’Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio) shows up on his doorstep with a gold “marker” compelling him to repay past favors. Ordered by Winston (Ian McShane), kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to...

The year was 1924; the place, New York City. A group of animals from the Central Park Zoo marched down a street in Harlem accompanied by a very special group of people: a handful of immigrant Macy’s employees, who wanted to express how thankful they were for living in the United States that year. And thus, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was born.

Though today the event is a big blowout, with A-list stars, Broadway performances and millions of spectators on hand to watch the marching bands, floats and balloons make their way downtown, the parade had humble beginnings,...

Gigi Hadid had a super chill Halloween on Monday night.

The 21-year-old supermodel talked about spending the holiday this year with her good pal, Taylor Swift, during her first-ever appearance on the Today show on Wednesday.

"It was really cool, we were all working so my friend had a little, like, girls' night at her house," she tells anchor Matt Lauer, who quickly calls out that the "friend" is none other than Swift. "We had chips and guacamole and pizza."

Gigi also explains how she made her cute cub scout costume.

Seven episodes were provided prior to broadcast.

From Netflix and Marvel’s nocturnal vision of the sprawling New York City streets emerges Luke Cage, yet another tale of revenge and redemption, this time with the Wu-Tang Clan providing boom-bap beats for the bloody beatdowns. Viewers who push all of the adaptation anxiety and Defenders tie-in hype to the side for a moment will find a powerhouse of a show that mixes the provocative fantasy of blaxploitation with the pulpy intrigue of mob warfare to great success.

The fact that Luke Cage exists as a slice of a larger Netflix superhero pie alongside Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the forthcoming Iron Fist will be the primary appeal to those obsessed with their eventual crossover team-up in The Defenders, but the show serves an arguably greater purpose in that it brings something to the fore that we’ve yet to see from Marvel.

Pretty-faced high schoolers play a deadly online game of truth or dare in Nerve, a breakneck thriller inspired by the gutless, faceless, merciless keyboard warriors who spit venom at others on blogs, message boards, comment sections and any other dark corner of the internet they can weasel their way into.

This movie moves, and it moves fast: in rapid succession, it dishes out heart-stopping stunts and set pieces that will pleasantly surprise those going in expecting a bloodless Ya romp. Plot, acting and dialogue range from mediocre to average, but it’s hard to linger on the movie’s myriad downfalls thanks to the quick pace it maintains throughout.

Ghostbusters is that rarest thing – a remake that is as much fun as the original (some would say more) that also honors the memorable original. Take that, internet grumblers!

Fans who were worried about this remake can relax – the results are very funny. The comedy is great, and non-stop, packed with clever affectionate references to the original. The logo and the catchy theme song are back (with a few remixes added), and the goofy humor of battling ghosts with technology is all there.

This is the kind of film you hope to see in summer – a movie just for fun that truly entertains.

Umbrella Corps mounts a convincing, joyless argument for why Resident Evil should remain a single-player franchise. Resident Evil 4’s tried and true over-the-shoulder perspective inspired numerous multiplayer shooters, yet the series clung to its methodical gunplay throughout the generations … until now. Umbrella Corps takes a stab at the erratic online engagements that Uncharted and Gears of War pioneered. It only costs $29.99, but seeing as Capcom released Street Fighter V at full price without a story mode, let that fee be a warning.

Contemplate this, too: Was it the dearth of content, the gameplay’s unfinished qualities, or the generic multiplayer focus that compelled Capcom to ship Umbrella Corps with zero marketing fanfare? While Umbrella Corps shows Capcom is willing to wager time and money for radical ideas, those risks must pay off, like the welcoming response Resident Evil VII garnered at last week’s E3. This spinoff lacks the publisher’s absolute support.

Did you guys see that Doctor Strange Lego set leak?

Last I checked it was still up on The Independent over here, but it’s in the process of being scrubbed like other too-early product leaks. Check it out, it’s Mordo, Strange and Wong in the Sanctum Sanctorum with some big tentacles coming out of a portal in the wall.

Before discussing what that means, a moment of well-earned disclaimers about Marvel Lego sets. Most of the time these sets are assembled around the general concept of the film, not from specific plot points. There was an Iron Man 3 Lego set that had The Mandarin battling Iron Man in some sort of tank. There was an Ant-Man lego set that showed Scott Lang Ant-Man fighting Yellowjacket with the aid of Hank Pym Ant-Man. Those things did not happen. On the other hand, all the McU-based Lego sets I...

On January 31, 2013, Judy Kottick's 23-year-old daughter, Ella, was killed by a bus as she crossed a New York City street. In the months following her daughter’s tragic death, the devastated New Jersey mom felt very much alone. "I felt like I was the only person in the world this had happened to," she tells People. "I was desolate and desperate." In the middle of one sleepless night, the grieving mother searched Facebook, hoping to connect with someone who may have suffered the same kind of loss she had experienced. Kottick found Hp and Amy Tam Liao, whose 3-year-old daughter...

Jazz music has long expressed its capacity to borrow from various, sometimes contradictory sources in order to create something which in every sense transcends the original elements. Since the earliest days of jazz as a musical form, it has been inspired by military and funeral marches; has stylishly interpreted popular songs; and even brought the classical intricacies of Wagner into the domain of swinging brasses and reeds. This multiculturalism and eclecticism of jazz likens it to cinema which, in turn, has transformed pop culture motifs into something close to the sublime and mixed ‘high’ and ‘low’ artistic gestures to remarkable effect.In the history of jazz, the evolution from ragtime or traditional tunes, to discovering the treasure trove of Broadway songs was fast and smooth. The latter influence was shared by cinema, as the history of film production quickly marched on. The emergence of ‘talkies’ in the United States meant rediscovering Broadway,...

From tone to costume to powers to sidekicks to villains to love interests, here are a few tips for CBS' forthcoming Supergirl series...

It's official – Supergirl is coming to television next season.

We have an actress, a costume and an ever-growing list of characters being brought in from the comics and, at a time when female superheroes are still suspiciously absent from the slate of big film releases, executive producer Greg Berlanti and his team are expanding their television empire to include Kara Zor-El in addition to the already-successful Arrow and The Flash series.

But this show will be on a different network – CBS rather than The CW – and that’s not the only detail to suggest this will be a completely different series with new rules and, quite possibly, a new universe not connected to Oliver Queen and Barry Allen’s.

In so many ways, this is completely fresh territory,...

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us. No, not Christmas — Autumn.

After a gruelling three months of heat, humidity and glaring sunlight, we are all awarded a respite of the cool, crisp weather that comes with Autumn. The leaves change to beautiful oranges, yellows and reds, pumpkin-flavoured everything graces the menus at your favourite cafés and cozy hoodies permanently cuddle your torso. Oh, and did we mention Halloween? There’s nothing quite like the first day since Spring that you can don a sweater, lace up your boots and dig your outwear from the depths of your closet.

Nothing can really compare to the joy experienced after stepping on a crunchy leaf or after feeling a gust of autumn wind against your face. If you are one of those people who hates the heat, claims to be allergic to the sun and has...

She’s not afraid to step outside the trendy boundaries, which makes Taylor Swift a true fashion icon. Whether it’s rocking a darling dress or a casual getup, we’re always big fans of the country cutie’s unique look.

Today, we’re honing in on the “Trouble” babe’s simple skinny jeans attire. Swift trekked through the New York City streets in a darling collection of Blue Fly pants, Cole Haan pumps and a Steven Alan shirt – but the ensemble will rack up a heft bill of close to $1,650.

Don’t worry - our fashion editors pulled together an affordable ensemble that will keep you cute and stylish, just like Taylor.

Stepping out for a stroll, Selena Gomez headed onto the New York City streets yesterday afternoon (July 9).

The 21-year-old performer flaunted her impressive cleavage (without a bra to help her out) as she left The Bedford in the Big Apple, sparking speculation that she underwent breast augmentation surgery.

Meanwhile, Miss Gomez continued to post riddles to Instagram that may or may not be about her on-again-off-again relationship with Justin Bieber. The “Come and Get It” singer posted a life lesson, which read, “The moment you compare yourself [to another woman], it weakens you, and I'm not here for that. Once you know that reality [and] claim your space, your life becomes easier."

Selena captioned the photo, "#zoesaldana #womenempowerment you are all so beautiful the way You are. No bigger or smaller. You all inspire me."...

Robin Roberts and girlfriend Amber Laign held hands as they strolled through the busy New York City streets on Monday afternoon. The two did their best to stay warm in the chilly weather by sporting similar parkas, scarves and boots. The Good Morning America host wore a pair of gloves as she walked the couple's pet pooch during the outing. The sighting comes just a few short weeks after Roberts came out of the closet and announced on Facebook that she was in a relationship with the licensed massage therapist. "At this moment I am at peace and filled with joy and gratitude.  I am grateful to God, my doctors and nurses for my restored good health. I am grateful for my sister, Sally-Ann,...

I must have been about 12 years old when I first saw Tarzan and His Mate. I loved the Tarzan movies. Tarzan was the undisputed King of the Jungle and was the greatest, Cheetah was man’s best friend, Boy was annoying, and Jane was the Queen of the Jungle and a young male’s introduction to the allure of the female. The uncensored version, with a naked Jane silhouetted while changing clothes in a backlit tent and the spectacular underwater ballet scene would have been a revelation to me; Tarzan and Jane are frolicking in their favorite swimming hole, Tarzan in his usual loincloth and Jane naked – not naked from the waste up, or presumed naked as they hid her behind some lake flora or rocks – Jane was naked.

Madam Satan

Most film fans knowledge of Pre-Code Hollywood movies doesn’t go much further than King Kong, Frankenstein, and a few other titles.

Getting her little one off to school in timely fashion, Maggie Gyllenhaal walked with daughter Ramona down the New York City streets today (January 30).

The mother-daughter duo bundled up to face the freezing weather, Maggie sporting a cute, fuzzy hat, thick black coat and jeans, walking beside her girl, who wore a long black coat and rubber boots.

None too excited about the bitter cold, the "Dark Knight" starlet posted a status on her Twitter account, writing, "12 degrees in NYC today. Listening to @lcdsoundsystem New York I Love You But you're Bringing Me Down..."

Rihanna, 25, is three for three when it comes to hairstyles this week. From long hair on Dec. 15 to super short on Dec. 16, Rihanna was seen at Marquee nightclub in NYC on Dec. 18 with a medium hair length. RiRi arrived at the club at 3am with her close friend, Melissa Forde, and a little more hair. Which look do you prefer, HollywoodLifers? Long, short, or somewhere in between?

Different Day, Different ‘Do

The star looked sexy as she strutted the New York City streets in a blue semi-sheer mini dress, fishnet tights, Louboutin heels, and her brown fur coat. While her outfit definitely was great,...

Calling it a day after her rehearsals, Rihanna walked out of Milk Studios in Manhattan with a smile on Friday (December 13).

The 25-year-old singer was cute in her casual gear, sporting a black trench coat with a fuzzy green shawl, sexy gray skinnes, and a dark beanie.

In related news, the "Diamonds" superstar showed a bit of her diva side as she came out of a recent photoshoot. As she made her way out to the New York City streets along with her bodyguards, a few too many distractions caused a door to be neglected just as Rihanna passed through it.

The swinging door hit her hard, and Rihanna's inner diva lashed out, shouting a sarcastic "Thank you!" at a man behind her. However, all anger subsided as she came forward posing for a few snapshots from onlooking fans.

Queen Bey was spotted on the New York City streets filming a music video for a single off her new album, all while donning a fabulous Burberry trench coat. Doesn’t she look amazing?

The 32-year-old singer looks better than ever in photos released from her upcoming music video. Beyonce was seen looking fabulous in an oxblood leather Burberry trench and matching berry lips. She also complimented her coat with a pair of silver pumps that gave her look a super modern, almost futuristic edge. The shine in her jacket, shoes, and luscious blonde locks are the perfect contrast to the dark city streets the music video seems to be taking place in.

Beyonce Shoots New Music Video:

While Beyonce looks fabulous in anything, this look is particularly fashionable for the star. Its only a trench coat and heels, but when Bey wears a trench coat and heels it’s beautiful.

Stepping out in style, Miranda Kerr hit the New York City streets earlier this afternoon (November 4).

The 30-year-old supermodel donned a denim skirt with black tights and an oversized jacket as she headed out in the brisk weather.

Keeping busy during her breakup drama with hubby Orlando Bloom, Miranda took a beat to pose nude for celebrity photographer Chris Colls.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, the brunette beauty stripped down for the au naturel pic and covered up with a sheet. Chris posted the pic on Instagram. Check it out here!

Enjoying some “me” time, Katie Holmes jammed to her iPod while strolling down the New York City streets on Wednesday (October 2).

The “Batman Begins” beauty rocked a super chic ensemble as she happily enjoyed the Big Apple weather after dropping her daughter Suri Cruise off at school.

In related news, the 34-year-old actress recently chatted with British InStyle magazine about chopping off her long locks.

“When it comes to hair, I find it easier to manage when it's long. It's just more versatile. I liked my hair short when [hair stylist] Enzo Angileri styled it - he did the cut. But when I tried it on my own, I was like, 'This isn't working!'"

Meanwhile, Holmes chatted about the differences between herself and Suri, saying, "My daughter Suri is much more girlie than I was as a child. I was a tomboy. I rode my bike everywhere and played basketball. There's...

Heading out for another day of promotional work, Lady Gaga hit the New York City streets on Thursday (August 22).

The Mother Monster donned transparent pants with a matching top as she greeted her Big Apple fans outside of her apartment.

Taking a moment to remember a music legend, Gaga shared some words from the late Michael Jackson today, tweeting, "The bigger the star, the bigger the target.”

As for her upcoming activities, the “Applause” singer is set to take the Barclays Center’s stage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday evening (August 25).

Bette Davis’ eyes keep ‘Watch on the Rhine’ Bette Davis’ eyes are watching everything and everyone on Turner Classic Movies this evening, as TCM continues with its "Summer Under the Stars" film series: today, August 14, 2013, belongs to two-time Oscar winner Bette Davis’ eyes, cigarettes, and clipped tones. Right now, TCM is showing the Herman Shumlin-directed Watch on the Rhine (1943), an earnest — too much so, in fact — melodrama featuring Nazis, anti-Nazis, and lofty political speeches. (See “Bette Davis Movies: TCM schedule.”) As a prestigious and timely Warner Bros. release, Watch on the Rhine was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award and earned Paul Lukas the year’s Best Actor Oscar. Bette Davis has a subordinate role and — for once during her years as Warners’ Reigning Queen — subordinate billing as well. As so often happens when Davis tried to play a sympathetic character, she’s not very good; Lukas, however,...

Girls won't be back until next year — there's no firm premiere date yet, but last season started in January. Until then, there are these photos, taken as the show films on New York City streets, to tide us over. From the looks of these shots, Hannah does indeed appear to be with or at least pleasantly around Adam. Marnie is still in her messy phase (if knit hats are any indication), which is perhaps thanks to Charlie's abrupt departure. Jessa's as Earth-goddessy as ever, and Shosh is still devoted to polka dots. Unfortunately, no Ray sightings just yet.

One would assume working at Bliss Spa would be somewhat relaxing, and it is for the some (read: the clients) but for the gals running the show behind those silk curtains it can be as busy as the New York City streets just outside the shiny glass doors.

Continuing work on her new action flick, Megan Fox filmed scenes on the set of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" this morning (May 20).

The 27-year-old actress held hands with co-star Alan Ritchson, while the two got into character on the bustling New York City streets.

Per the synopsis, “Aliens invade Earth and inadvertently spawn a quartet of mutated reptile warriors, the Ninja Turtles, who rise up against them to defend the world.”

The Jonathan Liebesman-directed flick also stars Will Arnett, Noel Fisher and Abby Elliott and is expected to hit theaters on June 6, 2014.

Stepping out for a relaxing afternoon, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield hit the New York City streets on Tuesday (May 14).

The darling couple walked arm-in-arm through the Big Apple streets while enjoying some much needed time away from the bustling “Amazing Spider-Man 2” set.

In related news, Miss Stone recently dished out a few coveted beauty tips during her Revlon promotional duties.

The 24-year-old explained, “I have learned the importance of moisturizing. I have the driest skin on the planet. I use a Burt’s Bees cleanser and exfoliate with baking soda or brown sugar. I love coconut oil and olive oil, too. My skin doesn’t produce oil, so I have to replace it somehow.”...

Stepping out for a quick errand-run, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian hit the New York City streets on Monday afternoon (April 22).

The “Keeping up with the Kardashian” beauties rocked sexy ensembles, while Kim showed off her growing baby bump in a tight black dress.

In regards to her little bun in the oven, the 32-year-old recently opened up to Ryan Seacrest during a recent E! special and proclaimed that she wouldn't say no to marriage despite her past experience.

"I would get married again," Kim revealed. "That's what I've always wanted. Just because you think you find it and you realize that's not it. I was brave enough that quickly and not waste time. I found what I really wanted. I do want that."

Now that her legal troubles are squared away, Miss Kardashian is ready for the next step in life: Becoming a mother. Unfortunately, pregnancy isn't all she had hoped for.

Heading out with her little ones, Angelina Jolie hit the New York City streets on Friday afternoon (April 5).

The “Salt” actress carried Knox while her son Pax strolled along in front with a big purple teddy bear in tow.

In charitable news, Miss Jolie recently donated funds to a 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban because she wanted to go to school.

“And here’s what the gunman and the Taliban accomplished on that day,” the 37-year-old actress said. “They shot her at point blank range in the head and it made her stronger. In a brutal attempt to silence her voice, it grew louder - and she more resolute…calling on the entire world not just Pakistan to ensure the right for every girl in the world to an education. It is my right she said…it is our right.”...

Enjoying some time in the spotlight, Kate Mara left the set of "The Morning Show" in Toronto, Canada this morning (March 27) as she continued to keep up with her busy "Hump Day" schedule.
