Mariah Carey‘s scheduled interview to promote her UK Christmas tour on Good Morning Britain turned into what viewers called an “irrelevant and inappropriate” segment in the wake of a gunman opening fire on a Las Vegas concert, killing at least 50 people and injuring at least 400 in what is now the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
The 47-year-old singer appeared sprawled on a sofa in a red gown in front of a Christmas tree from Los Angeles. However, hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid asked Carey about the breaking news out of the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a three-day...

Jon ‘JonTron’ Jafari has been removed from a video game called Yooka-Laylee by U.K. developer Playtonic after the YouTube star made several incendiary, far-right statements in recent weeks about immigration and race.
Jafari, who counts roughly 3.1 million subscribers on his own gaming channel, and who co-founded a network of gaming channels called NormalBoots, according to Gizmodo, tweeted his support for Iowa Representative Steve King’s anti-immigrant statement that “We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies.”
Subsequently, in a two-hour livestream with fellow gamer Steve Bonnell, Jafari likened immigration to apartheid South Africa and made other false claims, including that Mexicans are setting up ethnic enclaves to take over parts of America and wealthy black Americans commit more crimes than poor whites. He also expressed anxiety about the fact that he believes whites will become a minority in the U.S. by the year 2042, according to Gizmodo.

Want to make a short film based on one of Stephen King's stories? Chances are that it'll only cost you a dollar...
Stephen King is, you might say, a bit prolific. With over 50 novels, 6 nonfiction books, and 200 short stories to his name (or Richard Bachman's), King has one of the hardest-working pens/typewriters/laptops in the writing world. And best of all, when it comes to King's work, quantity does equal quality.
That's probably why Hollywood is constantly optioning his countless works for big blockbuster film adaptations. Guys like Frank Darabont, Brian De Palma, Stanley Kubrick, George A. Romero, John Carpenter, Lawrence Kasdan, and Rob Reiner have all taken stabs (no pun intended) at his work. Many of them are even great films that hold their own, which is very rare in the novel-to-film adaptation business, especially when the source material is as high-profile as King's.

Netflix’s Stranger Things is an unabashed homage to the early work of such genre icons as Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, and the latter is now unabashedly declaring his love for the Duffer Brothers-created series on Twitter: Watching Stranger Things is looking watching Steve King's Greatest Hits. I mean that in a good way. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 17, 2016 Stranger Things is pure fun. A+. Don't miss it. Winona Ryder shines. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 18, 2016 From its Richard Greenberg-esque title design to references to King bestsellers like Carrie, Firestarter and Stand By Me (adapted from King’s short story “The Body”), Stranger Things functions as an open love letter to the author’s work but also stands on its own as a deeply-felt original creation that transcends its many ‘80s inspirations. It must be incredibly gratifying for the Duffers to know the series has resonated with one of their heroes.

The role of women in horror films has always been a hot topic for debate. Some argue that horror films marginalize women and paint them as hypersexual beings with no depth. The opposing argument asserts that the existence of a "Final Girl" in most horror films is a testament to female empowerment, and that horror films celebrate women and their role in the cinematic universe. There is merit to both sides of the argument, but we're more interested in spotlighting some standout female characters in genre film who have positively portrayed women, showcased them as being just as tough (or more so) than their male counterparts, and challenged some of the stereotypes attached to women in film. Here are ten of our favorites: Alice in Resident Evil Alice is a pioneer for ass-kicking ladies. She's one of a select few female heroines in an action franchise – albeit an action, horror,...

Conservative leaders got their panties in a knot after Obama ordered his administration to stop deporting Dream-Act eligible illegal immigrants. Here’s a brief rundown of conservative responses to the President’s executive order:
Steve King
On Mike Huckabee’s radio program, Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King announced his intentions to sue the Obama administration, claiming to have successfully sued his own state governor for a similar issue: "I have done it once in the past successfully when then-Governor Tom Vilsack thought he could legislate by executive order — and the case of King vs. Vilsack is in the books."
Maybe, but remember that King says a lot of things, factually incorrect things. Two years ago around this time, he said, "The president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race—on the side that favors the black person." Around the same time,...

Last week, Stephen Colbert debuted his "Searching for Mr. Right" segment by suggesting Mitt Romney consider Iowa's Steve King as a running mate in the 2012 election. But since King isn't the only bland, white candidate out there, Colbert pressed forward on Wednesday's "Report" with even more suggestions.
It seems that Ohio Senator Rob Portman is a contender at this point in the race, beating out a very unlikely-looking Santorum, but is he the best fit? Colbert seems to think he may be too crazy for the Romney ticket.
Check out the clip above to see who might make a good Romney running mate and then let us know what you think in the comments.

It's no secret that if Mitt Romney ends up winning the Gop candidacy, he's going to need a special Vice Presidential candidate to help make his ticket more appealing to groups he's weak with. You know, like women, African Americans, and Republicans.
Luckily Stephen Colbert introduced a new segment called "Searching for Mr. Right" on Monday night's "Colbert Report" to make the process of sorting through these candidates easier.
His first contender is Iowa congressman Steve King, and from the looks of things, he'd have a lot to bring to the table. He has plenty of thoughts about healthcare, homosexuality and corn -- all of which might stir the pot and make a ticket more exciting. Whether or not those opinions are salient (or Constitutional) would be up for voters to decide.
Personal differences aside, Colbert suggests Romney take a close look at King during this time of consideration: "but not too close.

May Sweeps are over. Jack Shephard’s eye closed for the last time, the Glee kids concluded their first season’s journey, and Grey’s Anatomy took out a chunk of its bloated cast with a crazed gunman. It’s been a hell of a finale season, but what do we do now? Well, you could hit the beach, or pick up a book, but for those of us more inclined to stay on the couch, summer is no longer just for reruns. If you’re missing any recently departed favorites, summer shows, both new and returning, may provide a good substitute.

As usual, distilling the value of a film into a short paragraph in ranking it against every other film ever released in the same genre is imperfect, subjective and quite frankly, irrational. But it sure is fun. So continuing our “Tma’s Greatest” series that began with our Tma’s 25 Greatest Sports Movies of All Time, we decided to make a list of the 25 best horror movies ever made. But before you proceed to the list and get bent out of shape because your favorite movie didn’t make the list, remember this: we specifically decided to make a list of the “greatest” as opposed to the “scariest” horror movies because scary doesn’t always indicate the quality of a film, and vice versa. Also, as thorough and meticulous as we were in constructing the list, there are bound to be omissions. Feel free to let us know what we missed.

Ever since Neill Blomkamp fell onto the scene with his instant cult hit District 9, many have wondered if he would develop a sequel, especially based on how the movie ended. Surely the studio is keen being that the budget was low on this film and it grossed very well domestically as well as overseas. Blomkamp has also been attached to projects floating around Hollywood as well seeing him as one of the upcoming hot directors. For awhile he was attached to the Dune project after Peter Berg left.
It seems as if Blomkamp wants to for the time being work on his own original material and with the success of District 9 there is surely excitement to be in business with him.
The Los Angeles Times’ Hero Complex Blog recently spoke with Blomkamp about his future and his next film. He wouldn’t give any specific information such as title,...

So this has been rumored for sometime that Lost co-creator, Damon Lindelof, would develop the acclaimed fantasy series from Steven King. Now its coming out that he and his partner in crime, Jj Abrams, will not be adapting the acclaimed series.
In a story from MTV.com, Abrams had to say on the matter:
“The Dark Tower thing is tricky. It’s such an important piece of writing. The truth is that Damon and I are not looking at that right now.”
In an in interview with USA Today in October Abrams forewarned, “You’ll be hard-pressed to find a huger fan of The Dark Tower than me, but that’s probably the reason that I shouldn’t be the one to adapt it. After working six years on Lost, the last thing I want to do is spend the next seven years adapting one of my favorite books of all time.
