Phillip Phillips: Not Afraid of "Superstition" on American Idol

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Did American Idol save its best for last Wednesday? Maybe not quite, but with Phillip Phillips closing the show with a rock version of the Stevie Wonder classic “Superstition,” it certainly went out on a high note. The song has been done on the show before, he acknowledged, but never like this. On a night when the contestants honored Stevie and Whitney Houston , most went the ballad / traditional route or played to the songs’ R&B roots. Not Phillip. Watch the night’s most energetic (if not the best) performance below: Phillip Phillips – Superstition (American Idol Top 13) He’s the “most different” artist they’ve got, according to the judges, and a strong talent to boot. P-squared should be a lock to advance after this … agree?

Lindsay Lohan on Visiting Dad in Rehab: NAH!

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This past Sunday was “family day” in VH1’s Celebrity Rehab. Astonishingly, Michael Lohan’s stood him up in that piece. The drama began when MiLo “wanted Lindsay, Ali, and the rest of the family to come for family day,” says a source . “Michael even wanted Dina to come.” “They all refused, they don’t want to appear on camera in that setting, period.” “Michael grew very upset. Emotions were very raw for him. Soon, thereafter, all hell broke out between other patients and families,” the insider said. Viewers will be in for “quite a shock when it airs,” the source says. Dr. Drew “handled the mayhem with pure professionalism, as he always does,” despite all he has on his plate (the Michaele Salahi debacle , etc). Celebrity Rehab 5 is set to premiere in May on VH1. As for what brought MiLo to the show? Anger issues. Yes, he’s addicted to rage. And fame. [Photos: Fame Pictures]

The official list of Academy Award eligible scores numbers 77 in total, but don’t expect to see many of your favorites get recognized come nomination time. As previously reported , Black Swan , The Fighter , Tangled , The Kids Are All Right and True Grit were deemed ineligible because of their reliance on previously produced music, and now comes words that Randy Newman declined to enter his Toy Story 3 score in the running. This marks the first time Pixar won’t have a nomination in the Best Original Score category since Cars was passed over in 2006. [ In Contention ]

New Green Lantern Still Showcases Yet Another Hideous Face

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

You may recall that the main reaction to the last Green Lantern trailer here at Movieline was along the lines of, “Peter Saarsgard’s Dr. Hector Hammond is the grossest super villain in history!” Well, no one saw it coming, but this new still of the Lantern’s ally/mentor Tomar-Re actually tops Hammond’s grossness. Or maybe it just co-exists in some equally bizarre dimension where dead fish wear green tights. Have a look for yourself, I’m at a loss.

Argentina’s Dancing with the Stars a Naked, Dance-Free Affair

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Argentina’s Bailando por un sueño ( Dancing for a Dream ) isn’t your average glitter-tinged dance competition. The show features regular joe “dreamers” who dance with celebrities in styles like Tango, Disco, Pole-Dancing, and “Strip-Dancing.” Yes, that means the contestants often strip onstage — and sometimes they even forget to dance! In this clip, model Silvina Escudero defiles Aerosmith’s “Crazy” with a gynecological exhibition. NSFW by a long shot.

Big Brother Repulsion Index: The Penguin’s Straight Edge

Posted on August 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

While Jimmy Fallon and Jon Hamm found their inner Springsteen on the Emmys last night , Big Brother tapped into its inner idiot. Producers outfitted some houseguests in penguin costumes and taped them doing normal everyday stuff (shaving, leg presses), robbed the entire household of its silverware and taped the contestants struggling to eat food with their fingers and then, when all of the low-minded fun was had, producers zoomed in on a few conveniently-placed Coke bottles. Below, Movieline ranks the most repulsive characters in last night’s abominable excuse for a reality-show episode.

So You Think You Can Dance Result: So Long, Alex Wong

Posted on July 9, 2010 by | Leave a comment

We had a feeling Alex Wong’s prognosis was grim after that ACL injury he suffered in rehearsals, and when he didn’t dance with the rest of the contestants at the top of the results show, our suspicions were confirmed: He’s far too injured to continue competing on So You Think You Can Dance . Jesus, God, why? He was going to win this damn thing following a final match-up with Billy Bell, who would’ve pulled out all the stops and danced as 14 different cats (from tabby to tiger) in 60 seconds. Since that final duel is now impossible, let’s revisit Alex Wong’s best routine of the season and weep to our loved ones about his exquisite lines, touching commitment, and that time the wardrobe department made him wear a FUBU costume.
