Craig Ferguson On Late Night, Stand-Up, Alcoholism and Freedom to Say ‘F*ck’

It’s fairly standard policy for a publicist to request that the questions stay on topic to whatever is being promoted. In this case, with Craig Ferguson — best known, of course, as the host of the Late Late Show on CBS — this pretty much opens up every aspect of his life since his new Epix stand-up special, Does This Need To Be Said? , addresses subjects as diverse as his battle with alcoholism to David Letterman’s sex scandal. Indeed, Ferguson admits, casual viewers might be shocked what the “nice man on TV” has to say when he’s unfiltered.

The 10 Best Screenshots from Justin Bieber’s Shooting Death on CSI

For once, if you see on Twitter that Justin Bieber has “died,” it isn’t totally false. On Thursday night, the politically savvy teen star finished his arc as a teen bomber on CSI by getting brutally gunned down by a group of police officers after pulling a gun on them. Allow me to express your feelings about that ridiculous sentence in the form of an exclamation point cluster: !!!! If you were too busy watching The Office and Parks and Recreation to see this happen live, however, fear not: Ahead you can watch the Biebs get offed in slow motion, then click through Movieline’s slideshow of screenshots.

Roger Deakins on His True Grit Oscar Nod and the End of Film: ‘Next Year Will Be It’

The startling beauty of Joel and Ethan Coen’s Oscar-nominated True Grit — and in most Coen brothers films, for that matter — owes to frequent collaborator and award-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins, who’s lensed all but one of their films since 1991’s Barton Fink . But as much as the nostalgic Western serves as a throwback to simpler times, simpler heroes (and heroines), and a yearning to stick to one’s principles in the face of obsolescence, True Grit could also mark a wistful point in Deakins career — his last film shot on film.

8 Milestones in the Evolution of James Cameron

This weekend, James Cameron delivers Sanctum , a rare Cameron produced movie that he didn’t direct. But how did Cameron, the director of the two most successful films of all time, get to this point after his disaster of a big-screen debut, Piranha II: The Spawning ? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of projects (not necessarily his best projects, mind you) to illustrate what led to a director’s current success. And with Cameron, it appears, up to this point, everything that he touches turns into gold (literally, because, you know, his movies make a lot of money).

REVIEW: Jason Statham Keeps the Gears Going in The Mechanic, But Barely

What if, as if in a dream, Donald Sutherland appeared before you — the Donald Sutherland of today, silver-fox handsome and turning a throwaway role into something rich and refined — only to be whisked away and replaced with…Ben Foster? To quote Johnny Rotten: Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?

A Brief History of David Letterman Trying to Act in Sitcoms and Movies

The Late Show with David Letterman is dark this week (as it is more and more wont to be), but it’s hard to imagine a world in which Letterman is not a staple of our Late Night lives. Or, even weirder, imagining David Letterman as a sitcom actor. Before Letterman got his first show — an early morning talk show called The David Letterman Show — he made his mark, outside of his writing and stand-up, with an occasional foray into the world of prime-time television acting (notably with an alien named Mork). It’s truly a brief history, but here’s a look at David Letterman’s now strange flirtation with acting.

The 9 Most Random Pictures of Nicolas Cage on the Set of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Just when you start to think Nicolas Cage has run out of surprises, here comes a slew of new photos from the Turkey and Romania sets of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance . I can happily report that these photos have almost nothing to do with the movie itself, and much more to do with how Nicolas Cage spends his leisure time on-set. Yes, this new installment of Ghost Rider is supposed to be a complete reboot — and it has those fun Crank directors on board — but I honestly can’t imagine the finished product being more entertaining than these nine random photos of Cage being Cage. Check them out after the jump.

15 Casting Suggestions for Riggs and Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon Remake

As detailed in this morning’s edition of The Broadsheet , Hollywood went remake crazy while you were sleeping, with planned relaunches of Lethal Weapon , Westworld , The Wild Bunch and Annie all presumably coming to a theater near you in the next five years. Nothing there should inherently surprise you — this is Hollywood after all, where announcing remakes is otherwise known as a weekday — but it’s still a bit demoralizing. With that in mind, let’s remoralize! (Invented word!) Ahead, Movieline offers 15 duos who might make the planned relaunch of Lethal Weapon almost tolerable. Suggestions welcome.

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets: The Weinstein Brothers Have Their Priorities Straight

Tensions were running high at Movieline HQ in the lead up to our Golden Globes liveblog on Sunday night , because there stood a chance that the NFL playoff game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots might run past 8 p.m. on the East Coast. Naturally, we planned to flip over the Globes (or at least that’s what we told everyone), but it appears Harvey and Bob Weinstein had a different idea.

Mary Murphy on Returning to So You Think You Can Dance and Whether She Watched Last Season

While last season of So You Think You Can Dance brought us the verve, artistry, and passion we’ve long expected of TV’ s finest reality competition , it lacked that locomotive of chutzpah and love named Mary Murphy. The 52-year-old ballroom champ and choreographer lends a professional, yet maternal conviction to a show that thrives on supportive energy — and better yet, she’s an addicting presence on the judges’ panel. Last week, Fox announced that Murphy would return to the show for its eighth season this summer, displacing Mia Michaels and rejoining Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman. Phew, y’all.
