Via press release, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment announced their full slate of superhero movies through 2020, and oh man, is this list a doozy:

- “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” directed by Zack Snyder (2016)
- “Suicide Squad,” directed by David Ayer (2016)
- “Wonder Woman,” starring Gal Gadot (2017)
- “Justice League Part One,” directed by Zack Snyder, with Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Amy Adams reprising their roles (2017)
- “The Flash,” starring Ezra Miller (2018)
- “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa (2018)
- “Shazam” (2019)
- “Justice League Part Two,” directed by Zack Snyder (2019)
- “Cyborg,” starring Ray Fisher (2020)
- “Green Lantern” (2020)

In addition, the studio will release currently unscheduled standalone Superman and standalone Batman films in the same period.

The first movie (“Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice”) we’ve known about for a good long while, of course, while “Justice League” with Snyder directing has also been on the books for a while.

There’s a number of huge surprises from this announcement, though, including the casting of “The Flash,” the confirmation of a solo “Wonder Woman” movie – a huge deal for fans of both the character, and people who have been asking for a solo female superhero movie for years – and that “Justice League” will be split into two parts.

The biggest surprise, though, is how different Warner Bros./DC’s strategy is from closest rival Disney/Marvel. Where Marvel has staked out dates on movies for a similar time period, they’ve been playing what the movies will actually be pretty close ...

Everyone calm down. It’s not like there are a bunch of fluffy kittens smothering Taylor Swift and it’s not like they’re adorable little mewsters. And it’s not like Olivia Benson — Tay’s own cat — stars in this new Diet Coke ad I’m looking at. And it’s not like she gives us a clip of a new 1989 song!!

Oh wait, that’s ALL true!

Swift’s latest Diet Coke ad shows her in her perfect world — a dream made possible by drinking one of their beverages, of course. Her perfect world — along with mine — is swimming in a sea of cuddly felines set to the tune of a song off her new album, out October 27.

As Taylor would say, “#heavybreathing.”

Watch the adorableness, catch hold of your chill, and tell us what you think in the comments:

After getting a peek at Evangeline Lilly’s steely gaze in her character poster for “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the orc armies (or whomever) in charge of creating buzz for the upcoming film seem to have gone into overdrive.

A slew of new posters have flooded the internet over the past day or so, and if you weren’t thirsting for an epic war before, you will be once you’ve seen them. One of the most striking is this one, in which Galadriel extends a hand to a precariously-positioned Gandalf. Did the grey wizard ever meet a ledge he didn’t feel the need to dangle from?

Galadriel and Gandalf also seem to be having an intimate moment in this poster, tweeted out by the film’s official Twitter stream:

And Thorin Oakenshield is looking angstier then ever atop his throne under the mountain:

And of course, there’s Azog. Still defilin’.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” will be in theaters December 17.

We know President Obama is a Jay Z fan and has some Jigga on his iPod and that the first couple love some Al Green.

But Lil Jon? Yes, apparently First Lady Michelle Obama is so determined to get kids to eat healthier snacks that during an #AskTheFirstLady event on Tuesday she answered a Barack impersonator’s question: “How many calories do you burn every time you ‘turn up’?!” Her answer? Well, turning up.

Okay, “turnip”-ing up, which is now a thing that has gotten 6.4 million views in 24 hours.


Now, if only she could squash that beef between Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea. (See what I did there?)

Whether you like it or not, “Captain America 3″ is going to pit two of your favorite heroes against each other, and that’s only part of what the “Civil War” storyline might tell us about the upcoming Marvel movie.

The enormous comic book event featured several iconic moments that made an impact on the Marvel Universe at large. If “Captain America 3″ borrows more than just the title from “Civil War,” here are some things that might happen.

Heroes Take Sides

You can’t really call the conflict “Civil War” if it’s just a beef between Cap and Iron Man. The heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are going to be forced to choose sides. Since this isn’t an “Avengers” movie, I wouldn’t bet on there being that many heroes showing up to vote either “Cap” or “Stark,” but there are rumors already circulating about Hawkeye, War Machine and more showing up for the party.

Captain America Dies…

The biggest effects of the “Civil War” event on the Marvel comics rippled directly out of a single source: the assassination of Captain America. Early rumors suggest that the events of “Captain America 3″ will sideline Steve Rogers for “Avengers 3″ at the very least, so this could be a clue about how the book and movie stories will line up. But would Marvel actually kill off Steve Rogers?

…For A While

Walt Disney Studios

Nope. That’s because Chris Evans ...

There’s a whole bunch of do’s and don’t’s for the Halloween season — do take your little sister trick-or-treating, don’t TP your neighbors, do carve Obama into a pumpkin, don’t accept apples or raisins or bookmarks. And here’s one more simple rule: Don’t wear this Ebola costume. Just, no.

The costume is $79.99 and comes with a white hazmat suit, blue gloves, a mask and yellow rubber boots — “a great deal,” according to Johnathon Weeks, the CEO of the company that produces the outfit. At least they didn’t make the suit see-through with heels and call it a “sexy Ebola costume”…

BrandsOnSale.com

While the health care workers who sport these outfits in real life are valiant heroes to society, if you put one on, you won’t transform into someone who’s trying to shut down a deadly virus. You’re not being brave; you’re just being a jerk. These workers sacrifice their own health for others, and they use the hazmat suit to protect themselves from Ebola. The only thing you’ll be protecting yourself from is a spilt beer or two. Maybe some upchucked caramel apple.

Weeks defended the tastefulness of the costume to The Atlantic:

“You can go on any website for a zombie mask for an eight-year-old with cuts and scars all over their face,” he said. “It’s Halloween, it’s one day, if people are that serious about it, they don’t know what Halloween is about.”

The difference here? It was discovered Wednesday (October ...

Breaking up is hard to do, and no one proves that like a guy who won’t let things end without drama. Avoid being “that guy” by abstaining from some of the biggest fails that a dude can commit in the aftermath of getting the ax…

Holding her stuff hostages

Don’t attempt to trick her into wanting to see you by holding her favorite hoodie captive, to be released only in the event that she finally sees what a great guy you are. Arrange a “get your s–t” meetup, get through the hand-off civilly, and then be a man and wait ’til you’re home to start crying.

Defaming her on social media

Avoid the temptation to use your Facebook tagging ability as a license to slander. Literally no one cares about your long-winded rants about what a terrible person she is. Also, being the first and only person to “like” your own status of this nature will not convince people that she is the crazy one.

Guilt tripping her into coming back

Sure, it sucks to be bedridden with sadness, but ignoring her requests for space and giving her nonstop updates about the state of your mopeyness is an ineffective means of winning her back. If she does reply, it will be out of pity. She wanted a boyfriend, not a charity case.

The only thing Frankie Delgado nursed while on “The Hills” was a second drink at the bar, but now, after finding the girl of his dreams, getting married and having a baby, things have officially changed.

Frankie, who’s gone from party boy to Superdad since the show ended in 2010, can’t seem to stop gushing about his little girl Isabella on social media. And this week, he gave us evidence as to why — the child is just too cute. “My <3 melts!” the former playboy wrote alongside the photo below, in which little Isi balances on her pop. HAVE YOU STARTED COOING YET?!

And, when we caught a glimpse of Frankie sporting a Baby Bjorn last week at a Dodgers’ game, we completely lost it. “Isabella and I say #GoDodgers … Isi’s first baseball game” Frankie tweeted with a photo that finds him more fixated on his little girl than the pitch count or the score book. Like sand through the hourglass…

Whether you’re the breaker or the broken, breaking up is tough — especially in that initial period after you’ve gone your separate ways. Guys don’t always handle it like gentlemen, but girls can likewise create unnecessary post-relationship drama. Here’s what dudes find the most awful, humiliating and gut-wrenching after a split…

Spreading gossip to embarrass him

OK, so maybe he wasn’t the best boyfriend ever. Maybe he deserved to be dumped. But unless he was abusive, it’s not fair to tell everyone about all his bad qualities — especially if it’s, y’know, his lacking size or stamina. There’s a certain agreement among two people in a relationship that if and when it ends, you’ll both show a little discretion about the intimate details.

In normal circumstances, what you decide to do after you’ve broken up is none of his business — if he gets mad at you for hooking up, he’s being possessive. But if you sleep with any of his boys, you’ve made it his business. (And when it comes to feeling like a complete loser, business is booming.)

There are a lot of questions about Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus 2.” Is it happening? When is it happening? What will it be about?

Actress Noomi Rapace, who plays the lone surviving scientist Elizabeth Shaw in the first “Prometheus,” shares these questions. In fact, in her mind, that’s the whole point of the sequel: Questions, and frustration.

“I feel like I’m sharing her curiosity and also her anger,” Rapace told MTV UK in a recent interview. “She can’t go back to Earth. There’s nothing left for her, really. She wants to go back to where she came from — these giant creatures. In her head, that’s the dark paradise, in a way. So, what’s there? I don’t know. I think she wants answers. She wants to know.”

Those answers will not include the xenomorphs from the original “Alien” series, teased at the very end of “Prometheus.” Ridley Scott made it clear that those aliens won’t appear in the continuing “Prometheus” story.

But to hear Rapace tell it, you might not even miss the xenomorphs — because instead of those acid-bleeding monsters, Shaw could square off against a much higher power. As in, the higher power.

“God, maybe — or the devil,” Rapace said when asked what the villains of the “Prometheus” sequel could be. “I can’t wait to go there. I don’t know what we’re going to discover.”

“Prometheus 2″ is currently rumored for a March 2016 release.
