DVD: For Colored Girls and 5 Other Disastrous Adaptations of Great Source Material

There’s many a slip twixt the page and the screen — just ask fans of Ntozake Shange’s powerful 1975 theater piece For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf who recently had to suffer through Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls (on DVD and Blu-Ray this week from Lionsgate), a ham-handed and tone-deaf adaptation that managed to drain almost all of the poetry, wit, and majesty from a great play.

Power Rankings: How Have 24 Former SNL Stars Performed as Host?

Dana Carvey hosts this weekend’s Saturday Night Live , marking his fourth appearance as host — which ranks him third all-time for former cast members, 24 of whom have returned to host the show they once called home.

First, she posed in that scandalous GQ photo spread and then she allegedly snubbed True Grit sweetheart Hailee Steinfeld — inciting the wrath of her fans’ parents. Now, Cosmo magazine has unveiled its March cover, which shows the actress posing in a plunging neckline alongside headlines like “The Sex Quiz”, “Get Naked,” and Movieline HQ’ s personal favorite, “For His Thighs Only.” Should we be surprised, and more importantly, should we be angry?

First Look at Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund in On the Road

Kristen Stewart has caught a lot of flack on the Internet lately, but that doesn’t mean Hollywood casting directors aren’t falling over themselves to meet with her for various high-profile projects. That might ruffle some feathers ( sorry, fanboys !), but to Stewart’s credit, she has been quite picky with her non- Twilight selections; you wouldn’t necessarily expect a teen queen to have films like Adventureland , Welcome to the Rileys and The Runaways on her resume. Stewart continues her star-shunning assault later this year in On the Road — opposite Garrett Hedlund (as Dean Moriarty) and Sam Riley (as Sal Paradise) — and the first stills from the Walter Salles film have arrived. Click ahead for a look, ya beatnik.
