Robin Roberts’ return to “Good Morning America” Wednesday was cheered by celebs and regular folks alike. You need only look to Twitter to find the evidence: Nice Gabby… way to make something not about you, about you. But at least Robin was able to distract Gabby from the rumors of D-Wade cheating on her , riiiiight? Well it turns out Gabrielle Union isn’t the only celeb welcoming Roberts back, Oprah, the Obamas and many more also had warm messages for the now healthy morning host. Via People reports : A standing ovation from her crew greeted Robin Roberts at the door of the ABC Times Square studio of Good Morning America, even before the sun rose Wednesday – exactly five months after the anchor had a bone marrow transplant to treat myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS, a rare blood disorder. Outside, in the street, a crowd of fans had already gathered with placards, banners and even an ebullient fellow from Dallas waving what he called the world’s largest wristband, hailing his heroine. It read, “Welcome Back Robin.” Once the show hit the air, Roberts, with her colleagues surrounding her, looked into the camera, broke into a great big smile, and announced: “Hi, it’s Robin. I’ve been waiting 174 days to do this: Good Morning America!” Said her co-anchor George Stephanopoulos: “We’ve been waiting for that drumroll. It is official now. Welcome back, Robin.” From Jimmy Kimmel and Bradley Cooper, sitting at Kimmel’s talk show desk in Hollywood: “Welcome back, girlfriend.” Also chiming in as the show played on: Oprah Winfrey, and then Hillary Clinton, who said good-naturedly she had no job prospects at the moment so would be free to watch Roberts. The rival Today show sent a gift basket and made a significant donation to the charity that facilitates finding bone-marrow matches. And from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: “Good morning, America, and welcome back, Robin,” said President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama sitting with him. “Robin,” said Mrs. Obama, “we just want you to know that the whole Obama family, we’ve been thinking about you, and praying for you, and rooting for you every step of the way.” “You’ve been an inspiration to all of us,” said the President, “and we couldn’t be happier that you’re back here, doing what you do best.” Said Roberts, 52 – besides claiming she wasn’t wearing the froggy slippers she had sported around her apartment (“Or, am I?” she said) – “I keep pinching myself and I realize that this is real. This is really happening. “Faith, family and friends have brought me to this moment and I am so full of gratitude.” Her medical team was introduced later in the show. Before that, Roberts said, “There’s so many people that I want to thank throughout the morning, my doctors and nurses and family and colleagues and people who have sat in this chair and those who have blazed the trail before me.” “As my mother said, ‘We all have something.’ Everyone’s story has purpose and meaning and value, and I share this morning, this day of celebration with everyone.” She added later, after witnessing an impromptu jam session taking place in her honor outside the studio, “Our viewers have been incredible.” Roberts recently received the all-clear from her doctors, as tests have shown no abnormalities and she has continued to gain strength. She had already been back in the studio, doing a series of dry runs before her official return Wednesday. A special edition of 20/20 on Feb. 22 will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Roberts’s experience and those who have been inspired by her example. We’re thrilled that Roberts is back on the air and pray that she stays healthy and strong! Peep some more celebrity tweets below: Heidi Gutman/ABC
At the risk of sounding ungrateful for a fresh Die Hard sequel, Russia needs its own John McClane movie the way Uncle Sam needs a bright red babushka. On the flimsiest of pretexts, Bruce Willis’ obstinate hero travels all the way to Moscow to find trouble in A Good Day to Die Hard , teaming up with his never-before-seen son to stop a generic terrorist from stealing weapons-grade uranium from Chernobyl — a subpar plot that feels suspiciously like someone tried to plug McClane into a preexisting screenplay. Fox’s shaky bid to boost this installment’s international appeal could backfire domestically. Between this and 2007’s PG-13-rated Live Free or Die Hard , the studio seems determined to test audiences’ definition of a Die Hard movie. Is it enough to air-drop a bruised and bloody Bruce Willis into any old action movie and hope fans follow? Can the series keep trotting out half-forgotten family members — a daughter played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the last one, and now Jai Courtney as McClane’s estranged son Jack — to draw him into the fray? Enticed by either the attractive Russian market or the even more appealing incentives Hungary dangled for shooting in Budapest, someone decided to send McClane abroad, where the NYPD detective has no jurisdiction — and no qualms about using his usual brute-force tactics to stay alive. Considering the original Die Hard pitted its modern-day cowboy against a squad of arch Nazi stereotypes four decades after World War II ended, perhaps it follows that the series should dredge up an old Cold War adversary this time out, conveniently ignoring the fact Chernobyl is as far from Moscow as Three Mile Island is from Detroit. And so the pic, which runs a full reel shorter than its predecessors, sends McClane to the former Soviet Union with a ridiculous plan to spring Jack from jail. (McClane literally saunters up to the courthouse at precisely the moment huge armored vehicles arrive to blow the place apart.) Little does he realize that Jack has things under control, having been arrested as part of an elaborate CIA mission to arrange the defection of a well-connected political prisoner, Yuri Komarov (Sebastian Koch), who claims to have a file with incriminating details on high-ranking government officials. Though not much of a MacGuffin, it’s more than enough to get things rolling, and director John Moore ( Behind Enemy Lines ) delivers an elaborate, logistically daunting car chase around the capital, featuring Jack and Komarov in a van, a squad of heavily armed assassins in pursuit, and third-wheel John bringing up the rear — a surly papa bear determined to protect his endangered cub, whether Jack wants his help or not. The entire sequence works like gangbusters, giving the new Dolby Atmos super-surround system (debuted on Brave ) a real workout, though it borrows a bit too heavily from other films in which Westerners have laid waste to rival cities. Generally speaking, the action elements aren’t the problem here. They’re certainly loud enough. It’s the obligatory intra-family squabbling and preposterous plotting that threaten to derail this nonsensical sequel, especially a series of swapped allegiances between Komarov and his daughter Irina (Yulia Snigir), a lethal stunner with her own share of daddy issues. Things go bang, the McClanes get their share of battle scars and the trauma of it all proves the perfect bonding experience to heal old wounds. “Need a hug?” dad sarcastically asks his stand-offish son, who seems to have inherited his sense of humor from the other side of the family. Willis still packs that rapscallion charm, balancing his wisecracking, reluctant-hero shtick with the unstoppable, all-American quality that earned the original film its title. But the chemistry between him and Courtney is nonexistent, with the younger thesp, who makes co-star Cole Hauser look expressive, adding so little to the equation, one can only hope the studio doesn’t plan to pass the franchise on to him. Watching this expendable, action-packed sequel, it’s impossible not to think in such cynical terms. To Fox’s credit, the series is permitted to return to its original R rating, which means McClane can once again cuss freely. (Oddly, cutting back on language, rather than violence, earned the previous pic a PG-13.) Still, the closest thing to a new catch-phrase screenwriter Skip Woods can muster is the exasperated, “Some fuckin’ vacation!” — a line that openly contradicts the reason the film sent him to Russia to begin with. What vacation? If this is McClane’s idea of time away from the office, they’d better send him back to work before he hits retirement age.

From yester-year – in this case, 1952 – to tomorrow, Disney is so far only offering a glimpse into Brad Bird ‘s live-action feature in the form of a new title. Previously known as 1952 , the studio said it will now be titled Tomorrowland , just like the land meant to be a peak into the future. Tomorrowland was one of the five “original lands” that debuted with the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California in 1955. George Clooney will star in the film, which Damon Lindelof ( Prometheus ) and Bird co-wrote and is slated for a mid-December 2014 release. Home to famed attractions, Space Mountain and Star Tours, perhaps Tomorrowland holds secrets about the film version of its namesake. But the studio is maintaining a shroud of mystery though throwing out tidbits. Its official announcement follows: The Walt Disney Studios has announced that its live-action release previously known as 1952 will be titled Tomorrowland. The film will be released domestically on December 19, 2014. George Clooney ( The Descendants ) is set to star. Tomorrowland is written by Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird from a concept by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen. Lindelof ( Star Trek , Lost , Prometheus ) will produce and Bird ( The Incredibles , Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol ) will produce and direct. Disney attractions have begat Disney blockbusters through the years. Longtime classic ride Pirates of the Caribbean of course morphed into a long-running franchise that has starred Johnny Depp worth billions and Guillermo del Toro is working on a second installment of the Haunted Mansion , which first hit theaters in 2003. Classic mountaintop attraction, the Matterhorn in Disneyland’s Fantasyland is said to be the basis for a project titled The Hill . [ Source: THR ]
Early today, Robin Roberts made her first visit to the Good Morning America set since undergoing a bone marrow transplant in September. Arriving at 5 a.m. like she would on a regular work day, Roberts conducted what she described during a satellite interview last week as a “dry run,” something her doctors recommend before she resumes full-time co-hosting duties. “What a thrill to be back at ‘GMA”s Times Square Studio this morning and see the best folks in the world, my ‘GMA’ family,” Roberts told ABC . “I can’t wait to get back to the anchor chair in a few weeks.” Explaining why she needs to be tested before she appears again on-camera, Roberts previously said: “My skin is very sensitive and so we have to see how it reacts to the studio lights. My vision is still a little blurry from the treatment. All of this is getting better day by day so that is the next step.” Physicians have said Roberts is displaying no abnormalities since starting her treatment and she’s expected back alongside Stephanopoulos some time next month. We cannot wait to see her there.
