by 48 mins ago

Digital Domain has released a visual effects breakdown video that demonstrates how they created some of the most amazing images in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”

Of the many effects that the video takes a closer look at, two stand out. There is, of course, Magneto’s show-stopping display with the baseball stadium (which I will never get tired of).

But then there’s also a detailed look at how the filmmakers change Jennifer Lawrence to the blue-skinned version of J-Law and back again. It’s an incredible process that gives you an appreciation for all of the wizardry on display.

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” hits Blu-ray and DVD on October 14.

Kim Kardashian And Cara Delevingne Are Working On A Secret Project

by 1 min ago

Um, something really weird is going on, guys. Kim Kardashian, #worldsmosttalkedabout reality TV star and mother to a Very Important Baby, and Cara Delevignne, supermodel and Eyebrow Game Champion Of The World, are doing something together. Something wet. Something involving black tank-tops. Something that has banned Cara and Kim from using a brush. WHAT IS THIS?!

Here’s what we know: Kim posted the snap in the midst of Paris Fashion Week, captioned “Secret project,” and it was regrammed from Love magazine’s editor-in-chief, Katie Eleanor Grand. Mz. Grand made her pic’s caption, “Fun day out with @caradelevingne @kimkardashian @thelovemagazine,” which makes us ask again, WHAT IS THIS?! What went down on this “fun day out?” Is it a forthcoming feature in Love? What’s it all about?? This ~secret project~ bizness is cool and all, but it needs to become not-so-secret ASAP because we’re dying over here.

New ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ Trailer: Bible Goes Badass

by 6 mins ago

Ridley Scott’s latest swords and sandals adventure obviously has more of a Biblical bent to it than his previous journeys to the past, but until the most recent trailer, “Exodus: Gods and Kings” was looking kind of like “Gladiator 2″ starring Christian Bale.

Exodus: Gods and Kings” is a retelling (with more swords) of the story of Moses and mass evacuation of Egypt, but in this new trailer, we’re finally getting to see some of the Old Testament wrath in action. There are giant crocs eating people, locusts, and a bedroom full of frogs, which is more like a really awesome prank than a plague.

The movie also stars Joel Edgerton, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley and Aaron Paul.

“Exodus: Gods and Kings” opens in theaters on December 12.

Taylor Swift’s Forehead Makes Rare Appearance On ‘Vogue’ Cover

by 20 mins ago

There may only be three months left in 2014, but they’re gearing up to be huge for Taylor Swift. Her new album, 1989, is coming out on October 27 and she just landed her first British Vogue cover.

And what a cover it is. Her normally perfectly-coiffed bob is slicked back and—gasp—slightly undone. And then, acting as the G in “Vogue,” is her forehead—something we haven’t seen in many a moon. I wasn’t even sure if she still had a forehead, TBH. Below are quite a few freckles, which seem like they may be courtesy of a freckle pencil. Have you seen Taylor Swift with freckles before? Maybe all those beach trips with Lorde brought ‘em out? IDK. Either way, below her newfound freckles she wears a pale pink Miu Miu jacket and cable knit blue dress.

Taylor SwiftBritish Vogue


While the full spread isn’t out, Vogue UK shared another image from the shoot and—gasp x2—her hair is even more undone. Those bangs are going crazy, y’all. The color scheme remains the same, but here, Swift introduces a pair of purple paisley heels. The whole thing is very late ’80s, no? Pretty fitting considering the name of her new album, just sayin’.

While the interview isn’t out yet, you can head over to Vogue UK’s website for excerpts that will tide ...

The World Record For Biggest ‘Harry Potter’ Memorabilia Collection Has Been Broken

by 25 mins ago

Menahem Asher Silva Vargas has so many souvenirs from the wizarding world, he’s going to need a vault at Gringott‘s to hold it all — or at least an undetectable extension charm for his closet. The Mexico City native just snagged the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Harry Potter memorabilia, having amassed 3,097 bits and bobs of Potter-related merchandise.

Vargas’s haul includes everything from posters and pillows, to Hogwarts house gear, to replica broomsticks and wands. And considering how hard he just grabbed that world record (the last record-holder had a mere 807 pieces of Potterstuff), he’s got to be feeling pretty darn good about every last piece of it.

recordRebecca Blackwell/AP

Funnily enough, with his brown hair, Deathly Hallows sweater, and replica wire-rimmed glasses, Vargas also bears more than a passing resemblance to a grownup Harry Potter — which means that in addition to impressing us with his memorabilia-collecting skills, he also offers a somewhat eerie glimpse of what the Boy Who Lived might look like as an adult, if he’d never been able to move on after the Battle of Hogwarts, and instead became that guy who peaked in high school and spent the rest of his life hoarding the trinkets of his early success.

Congratulations, Mr. Vargas! You are truly a fan among fans, and we raise our butterbeer to you.

The 9 Stages Of Finding Out There Will Be More ‘Twilight’ Movies

by 29 mins ago

Last night (September 30), everything we’ve ever known to be true was shattered when Lionsgate announced that there would be more “Twilight” on the way, specifically in a series of mini-movies helmed by aspiring female directors, which will debut on Facebook in 2015.

Related: Recapping Every ‘Twilight’ Sequel, Reboot And Spin-Off Rumor

The films will be made under the mentorship of a dynamite panel of female advisers, which includes Stephenie Meyer, Kate Winslet, Octavia Spencer, “Frozen” director Jennifer Lee, “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke, “Modern Family” actress Julie Bowen, Women In Film President Cathy Schulman, and, of course, Kristen Stewart.

This news is a lot to digest all at once, so here is our hopefully-helpful guide to understanding the nine stages of finding out there’s more “Twilight” on the way:

1. First, there’s denial. Denial that there might be more Denali.

2. Then, there’s curiosity. You start searching the Interwebs on “legitimate websites” for proof that it might actually be true.

3. … And guess what? It is true. It finally starts to sink in that it’s really, really true. For a second, you begin to panic.

4. So you grab the nearest human you can find, and hug them like there’s no tomorrow. There is simply too much joy to contain.

5. Next there’s the need to share, so you tell all of your real life AND Tumblr friends, and spurn their disbelief with the cold, hard facts. THERE’S MORE “TWILIGHT!!”

6. After that you ...

Hey, Guys, Dylan O’Brien Wants To Get A Burrito In Peace

by 4 mins ago

Teen Wolf” fans, it can’t be said enough: Dylan O’Brien adores you. Seriously. He’d take a bullet for you, he’ll give you a hand with that ill-timed flat tire and he’s good for a retweet any day of the week. But, guys, if you mess with Dylan O’Brien’s Tex-Mex, he might have to go all Nogitsune on your ass.

In an interview with Elle, the bona fide movie star spoke to how disorienting his new, huge “Maze Runner” fame can be, and though he’s got a sense of humor about most of it, there are still certain non-negotiables.

“Honestly, man, I’m not somebody who wants the celebrity,” he confessed. “I know everyone says it, but I get overwhelmed by it all sometimes. I do love my fans, and I am so grateful for them, but sometimes I just want to walk into Chipotle and get a f***ing burrito, man!” We hear that!

Still, it’s pretty unlikely that the “Teen Wolf” and “Maze Runner” fandoms will die down anytime soon, so how has O’Brien learned to cope with the chaos? In his eyes, choosing your battles is paramount.

“If you keep fighting it, it’ll just make you go crazy,” he explained. “Like, if you just keep saying to yourself, ‘No, I’m going to Chipotle and no one is going to f*** with me,’ you’ll end up in a mental ward. Because someone is probably going to f*** with you when you walk into that Chipotle.”

‘Agents Of SHIELD’ Recruits New Blood, But Do We Need Him?

by 24 mins ago

Meet Lance Hunter. He’s a highly-trailed field operative working with S.H.I.E.L.D. for dubious reasons — so dubious, in fact, he even turns his gun on his fellow agents.

Sound familiar? That’s because we’ve seen the story before, through former golden boy turned treacherous snake Grant Ward. He posed as a loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for months before revealing himself as a HYDRA spy, leading to his eventual incarceration.

Ward and Hunter’s situations aren’t one-for-one mirrors of each other, but they’re similar enough to wonder why “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” needs someone like Hunter on the regular squad. He’s British, he’s badass, he’s rebellious — and unless the producers really want to tread old ground, he isn’t a secret double-agent working against Coulson’s best interests. But accent aside, what does Hunter bring to the table that every other character doesn’t already supply?

hunterABC

Hunter’s central focus in last night’s “Heavy is the Head” is one of few question marks in an otherwise solid hour of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” Season two’s second episode features the welcome return of smooth-as-silk Raina, another great use of Crusher “Absorbing Man” Creel, and the return of Coulson’s compelling carvings — potential visions of another world. It also furthers the mystery of Skye’s father, as actor Kyle MacLachlan enters the scene as an imposing evil-doer who wants a face-to-face with his “daughter.”

Best part of all: MacLachlan’s villain isn’t affiliated with HYDRA, which adds another new party to the… err… party. It makes the show’s landscape pretty interesting, actually. S.H.I.E.L.D. is trying to ...

Check Out Nas’ Newly Relaunched HSTRY Clothing Line

by 4 mins ago

Dang, Nas wasn’t kidding when he said 2014 was going to be “the year of Illmatic.” To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, he will kick off a tour and one-time-only screenings of his Time Is Illmatic documentary in select theaters starting tomorrow. But did y’all know he also announced the re-release of his clothing line, HSTRY, this week? *bows down*

HSTRYHSTRY

The brand–which initially launched last fall in collaboration with Grungy Gentleman–is back with its first-ever solo collection. According to the website, the 25-piece line “speaks of Nas’ personal journey and motivation with vibrant, original graphics and color-blocking extolling an era that birthed legends and shaped decades to come.”

HSTRYHSTRY

The ’80s and ’90s-inspired fall collection features everything from logo bucket hats to colorblocked sweatsuits to graphic tees, which range from $40 to $90.

HSTRYHSTRY

In the fall lookbook, we get to peep rapper Bishop Nehru and style icon Everard Best wearing some of brand’s streetwear staples in the scenic streets of NYC, but apparently this first collection “merely scratches the surface” of what’s to come. Check out even more looks from the line below, and to shop the full collection right this second, head on over to HSTRYclothing.com.

Beyonce’s New Bikini Photos Scream ‘Photoshop? What’s Photoshop?’

by 14 mins ago

Beyoncé certainly has a way of silencing her haters (see: VMA Video Vangaurd performance). And with a few photos, the singer may be responding to those who say she Photoshops her body.

While she may have used Photoshop in the past, the recent round of bikini pics are all natural, with Bey flaunting a small waist and curvaceous hips — all with an “oh, you’re taking photos of ME?” attitude.

Hey y’all, see this?
