"Bones" fans will surely recall that "Angela Montenegro" was not the birth name of the character played by actress Michaela Conlin. The origin of her true full birth name was one of the show's longest-running mysteries, and showrunner Hart Hanson and the "Bones" writers held onto that secret until the 10th season's 21st episode, "The Life in the Light," where it was revealed that "Angela" was actually born with a far more ... unusual name: Pookie Noodlin Pearly-Gates Gibbons.
That delightfully unconventional name makes a little more sense when you remember that Billy F. Gibbons, the guitarist and lead singer of rock band Zz Top, played Angela's father on the show, and he was essentially playing a heightened version of himself. But the writers took things a step further and embedded a hidden reference into the relationship between Gibbons and Angela that only hardcore Zz Top fans would know.

“I’ve been to the other side!,” testified Tonight host Jimmy Fallon in mock-revivalist-preacher mode on last night’s show. “I’ve seen the Pearly Gates! I’ve paid 8 for that blue check mark in the sky but I want you all to know I wouldn’t leave this earth until my job is done and tonight my job is to entertain you!”
Watch the Tonight segment below.
Backed by a robed gospel choir (“He’s alive! He’s alive!”) Fallon took to the Tonight Show stage and addressed those greatly exaggerated joke-hoax reports of his non-demise head-on. The rousing proclamation followed a day in which #RIPJimmyFallon trended on Twitter, prompting Fallon to tweet Twitter CEO Elon Musk, “Elon, can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon,” to which the embattled but still-snide Musk responded, “Fix what?”
During his monologue, Fallon said, “I don’t know if you guys saw this but for the last 24 hours,...

For several years, guitar-wielding singer-songwriter Charlie Worsham has featured a song in his live shows which he says fits into the relatively sparse category of “stoner gospel.” Written with Ashley Monroe, “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)” is an ode to the earthly, yet otherworldly delights of cannabis.
“I believe he put it down here for all of us to use, a little piece of heaven to take away your blues/I know I’m far from perfect and I’ll call a sin a sin...

In the upcoming Ethan Hawke-directed film Blaze, musician and first-time actor Ben Dickey pulls off nothing short of an astonishing feat as he inhabits the lead role of singer-songwriter Blaze Foley. A character steeped in myth and legend long before a blast from a .22 rifle ended his life at just 39 years old on January 31st, 1989, Foley has been paid posthumous tribute in song (Lucinda Williams’ “Drunken Angel”), and his songs, including “If I Could Only Fly” and “Clay Pigeons” have been covered, respectively, by Merle Haggard and John Prine,...

Meg Remy is walking through Manchester, England, when she spots a beer garden full of revelers. This gets the Chicago-raised, Toronto-based musician, who records as U.S. Girls, thinking about their apparent apathy toward the sorry state of the world. “How would you even begin to explain to the beer garden people why they should give up a system they think is working perfectly?” she asks.
Remy, 33, has been refining her answer to that question over a decade of radically tinged Diy music. She unveiled U.S. Girls as a...

Exclusive: Amid the shifting landscape of the international business comes a big change at Lionsgate. Veteran international exec and Motion Picture Group Co-Chairman Patrick Wachsberger is exiting the company as he sets his sights on building a new business. Wachsberger is pleased to be moving on to another adventure. “I am an entrepreneur by nature,” he told me as we chatted in the Lionsgate office this week at the Cannes Film Festival.
Wachsberger’s departure comes six-and-a-half years after Lionsgate merged with Summit Entertainment, which he helped launch in 1993. The France native is not by any means looking to slow down. He told a group of industry revelers here, “There is a lot I intend to do between Lionsgate and the Pearly Gates.”

At an elegant soirée on the terraces of the Hotel du Cap on Friday night, Lionsgate bid farewell to its Motion Picture Group co-chairman Patrick Wachsberger, even bagging chanteuse Jane Birkin to provide a melancholy musical send-off.
Industry executives and talent poured in to the particularly hot ticket to show their support for veteran exec Wachsberger who is exiting the company six years after it merged with Summit Entertainment, which he helped launch in 1993. But he promised he is not retiring, assuring attendees, “There is much I intend to do between Lionsgate and the Pearly Gates.”
Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer introduced Wachsberger saying, “We have had a great time together. Patrick has not only contributed a tremendous amount to our company, as you all know, but a tremendous amount to the industry.”

One can only hope director Nick Corporon's shorts (I've seen two) and his feature debut, Retake, are not autobiographical. All of his male characters are semi-despondent romantics. They find true love, lose true love, or are confronted by a world ready to quash them if they don't assume heteronormative stances or watch Vin Diesel films .
In the poignantly wise, 13-minute "Barbie Boy" (2014), seven-year-old Bobby (Trent Carlton) learns from his dad that boys don't play with Barbie and Ken dolls in public or nearly anywhere else. It doesn't even matter if Bobby just allows the plastic couple to scuba dive in the kitchen sink, smooch in their Dream House, or go out for lattés; the testosterone-fueled world will frown on such carryings-on and possibly do worse than frown.

It’s family reunion time in this week’s episode of Lucifer. Though in this particular case, it’s not your typical family and certainly not your typical gathering. Uriel (guest star Michael Imperioli), the greeter at the Pearly Gates, has come down to Earth. The Messenger of God wants to make sure that Lucifer delivers on his side of the bargain and send their Mother back to Hell. It seems like everyone wants the Goddess of all Creation back where she belongs. The hour began with Uriel orchestrating the car accident with Detective Decker. I did not expect that he would pull

On Friday, September 18th, Universal Studios Hollywood kicked off the haunting season in grand fashion with their annual Halloween Horror Nights, which celebrates everything we love about this time of year: monsters, mayhem, unexpected frights, and ghouls waiting to terrorize you at every turn. This is my seventh year attending Hhn and I can say that this may very well be one of the best years yet, all created by designer John Murdy and his entire team who worked tirelessly to bring the gruesome festivities to life.
While I enjoyed everything about the experience at Universal Studios overall, the three standout attractions for me at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights were the Halloween, Crimson Peak and This is the End 3D mazes, and all for very different reasons. With the Halloween house, attendees get immersed into the world of the first three films from the series, which was an enjoyable twist for me,...

Though they are often criticised for hyperbolic exaggeration of how difficult their job is, actors put themselves in danger more than you might think: last year saw an uncharacteristically high number of accidents on movie sets that almost killed actors, and there has been a long and storied history of similar incidences where Famous Movie Scenes Almost Killed Stars.
There is also a similar precedent set in TV shows, where the comparatively low production costs can mean there isn’t the budget for stunt coordinators and such rigorous safety checks, and where even more accidents can – and plainly do – happen.
Whether it is actors taking their method too far, or simple mistakes with set equipment, or the cruel hand of fate simply messing things up for kicks, there have been a number of very high-profile TV actors who have almost lost their lives in the name of their art.

Stupid fun: Saluting Kerry Washington, they simultaneously turned to a side camera and whispered: "Scandal!"

Prolific comedy actor who worked with Peter Sellers, Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan and Hattie Jacques
The stony-faced, beaky comedy actor Graham Stark, who has died aged 91, is best remembered for his appearances alongside Peter Sellers, notably in the Pink Panther movies. His familiar face and voice, on television and radio, were part of the essential furniture in the sitting room of our popular culture for more than half a century. A stalwart in the national postwar comedy boom led by Sellers, Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan, Dick Emery, Eric Sykes and Benny Hill, he worked with them all in a sort of unofficial supporting repertory company that also included Hattie Jacques, Deryck Guyler, Patricia Hayes and Arthur Mullard. He was also a man of surprising and various parts: child actor, trained dancer, film-maker, occasional writer, and dedicated and critically acclaimed photographer.

Following Cory Monteith's tragic death on July 13, Bravo is opting to reair the "Glee" star's appearance on "Inside the Actors Studio," which featured the 31-year-old actor and his co-stars last year.
Host James Lipton recalled guest-starring on "Glee" in a statement that accompanied Bravo's announcement: "When I appeared as myself on 'Glee,' I auditioned Cory’s character, Finn, for the Actors Studio Drama School -- and rejected him. That’s the way Ryan Murphy wrote it. I would have admitted him -- in a New York minute."
Lipton also shared Monteith's surprisingly thoughtful response to his question, "If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?" According to Lipton, "Cory’s God said, ‘Uh, sorry I haven’t been around. There’s a good explanation.’" Lipton added, "I certainly hope there is. We needed Cory’s gifts.”

Sad news today as you may have heard, James Gandolfini died of a reported heart attack, he was 51. Gandolfini will be forever known for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on the seminal HBO series The Sopranos, which won him 3 Emmy Awards and 6 nominations. He was an actor, producer, and father. Gandolfini is survived by his wife Deborah Lin, daughter and son.
There is a lot that will be said in the coming days about how great of an actor he was. He was without a doubt one of the best character actors working today. His recent roles in Killing Them Softly and Zero Dark Thirty garnered a lot of acclaim. I urge you to Seek out his earlier work as well; as Virgil in 1993’s True Romance or his performance as Colonel Winter in Last Castle especially.
My girlfriend and I are currently on season five of The Sopranos.

The last time Zap2it visited the "Supernatural" set, Misha Collins was filming his return as Castiel in the episode "Goodbye Stranger," after the character had taken a short hiatus. During our interview with Collins, he touched briefly on one of the fundamental challenges the series' writers face when plotting out story arcs for his character.
"The writers are always trying to figure out a way to deal with Castiel's character to somehow make it so that Sam and Dean aren't aligned with a superhero who can make their lives easy," Collins told us. "He's always encumbered in some way, or going through some weird emotional or mental strife, or being crazy ... or being God. There's always something that's sort of veering him off so that he can't be that helpful to Sam and Dean."
The need to either incapacitate Castiel or put him at odds with the Winchesters has...

Morgan Freeman gets a good laugh out of rumors of his own demise. The Oscar winner took to his Facebook page on Tuesday to make light of those pretty disgusting death hoaxes that have popped up with increasing frequency on social media and targeted him over the years, noting that if he is standing in front of the Pearly Gates, it looks an awful lot like present-day Earth. "Like Mark Twain, I keep reading that I have died," wrote the 75-year-old Freeman. "I hope those stories are not true…but if they are, I'm happy to report that my afterlife seems identical to my life when I was alive." The acting legend, who played God, by the way, in Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty, noted that...
