The ‘Zombieland’ Sequel Has A Writer

by 5 mins ago

Five long years ago, “Zombieland” shuffled and chewed its way into our hearts — and for five long years, we’ve been waiting for the sequel that director Ruben Fleischer enthusiastically promised us was totally in the works.

After all this time, it seemed like it might never happen. But today, the sounds of undead moaning can at last be heard emanating from Hollywood with renewed vigor! According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Zombieland 2″ is finally moving forward. Sony has officially tapped “Godzilla” scribe Dave Callaham to work the script, with Fleischer overseeing.

After so many years of stagnation on this project (including an abortive attempt at an Amazon-led TV series last year), it’s unclear whether they’ll still be able to bring back the whole cast from the first film as originally planned — particularly Emma Stone, who’s gone from new kid on the block to mega-star in the years since she co-starred in “Zombieland.” But one thing’s for sure: as long as Fleischer returns to direct, we can eagerly look forward to another sure-to-be cult favorite film, and one with lots and lots of 3D projectile zombie splatter all over the camera. Hooray!

After getting buried in a ton of angry Directioner tweets, Gilbert later said he was just joking.

Indie Band YACHT Releases Super Cool Sunglasses Collaboration

by 27 mins ago

Amidst the Nicki Minaj-for-Target and Kanye West-for-A.P.C. collections of the world, seeing an indie band get into the collaborative design game feels pretty darn unique. That’s why we were so stoked to find out that YACHT was teaming up with Chilli Beans eyewear for a special range of sunglasses.

The band’s “Make Your Face Smile” collection features 11 different shades which take classic shapes and apply YACHT’s unique aesthetic spin—all crisp and clean, all black and white. And there’s something for everyone, from the timeless go-to style of The Black Standard ($65) to the kitschy novelty Eskimo Glasses ($65).

YACHT cites a variety of inspirations for the collection like Yayoi Kusama, Milan’s Memphis Collective, and the translucent straps of Swatch watches in the ’90s, but always infused with the duo’s unique point of view. There are hidden third-eyes in certain frames, and some standard temple screws are replaced with triangles. “Whenever we’re designing anything,” explained Jona Bechtolt, “we look at something and what’s already in place and think about how we can make them more interesting or break them.”

The Fanciest, Most Quintessentially Kimye Things That Kim And Kanye Have Done Since They Got Engaged

by 29 mins ago

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a full year since Kanye West slipped that massive 15-carat rock on Kim Kardashian’s finger.

A lot has happened to the world’s most talked-about couple since that dramatic night at AT&T park. Kim and Kanye landed the cover of Vogue, had an unbelievable fairy tale wedding, and North West became a full-on fashionista at the age of 1, all while we lived vicariously through Kim’s Instagram feed.

So let’s celebrate the one-year anniversary of Kimye’s engagement and take a look back at the standout moments from their utterly lavish year.

We’re Engaged!
October 21, 2013

Kanye may have just had one of the best proposals of all time as he got down on one knee and asked Kim to marry him, on her birthday, in a baseball stadium, with a live orchestra and a 15-carat ring. How could she have said no?

Will Tracy Morgan Ever Perform Again?

by 33 mins ago

Tracy Morgan’s injuries from a devastating six-car accident in June are so serious that the comedian may never be able to perform live again. Morgan, who is suing Walmart over the accident that landed him in critical condition, is in the midst of intensive therapy and lawyer Benedict Morelli told the New York Post that it’s unclear when, or if, the 45-year-old star will take the stage again.

“The jury’s still out,” Morelli reportedly told the paper. “The doctors don’t know the answer. I don’t know the answer.” Morelli said Morgan’s daily routine includes speech, cognitive and physical therapy.

Morgan is suing Walmart over the accident, in which the comedian and three others were injured — and friend and fellow comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair was killed — claiming that the retail giant should have known their driver Kevin Roper was “fatigued” when he caused the pile-up. On Monday, Walmart responded, claiming, in part, that Morgan’s injuries “were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs’ failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device.”

The Walmart comment elicited a scathing response from Morgan, who released a statement on Monday excoriating the company for attempting to shift the blame. “I can’t believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused,” he said.

‘Sons Of Anarchy’: 7 Questions About Last Night’s Bloodbath

by 40 mins ago

WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!

On the latest episode of “Sons of Anarchy,” titled “Poor Little Lambs,” the fit finally hit the shan. Jax Teller’s warpath against the Lin Triad blew back on Charming in a very literal way, with a grenade exploding right in the heart of town, and several of Jax and Nero’s associates at Diosa gunned down in cold blood. The Triad’s retaliation against SAMCRO makes it clear that Jax’s plan has backfired — and it’s backfired against all the wrong people.

Where does Jax go from here? And who is ultimately responsible for the bloodbath? Let’s try to answer those questions, and more:

1. Who Do We Blame?

Do we blame Gemma for killing Tara, lying about Lin, and starting this mess? Do we blame Jax for pursuing his vengeance so recklessly? Do we blame the other Sons for not reining Jax in enough? Do we blame Jury for ratting out the club? Do we blame the Triad themselves for pulling the trigger? Who do we blame for the deaths at Diosa and the bombing in Charming? It’s a simple question — with no simple answers.

2. Does Jax Have a Plan B?

FX

Because Plan A just blew up. Jax wanted slow-burn vengeance against the Triad — but now that his element of surprise is out the window, he’ll need to resort to new tactics. How will the blood on the streets of Charming impact Jax’s next move? Will he slow down? Will he ramp up? ...

Hayley Williams Faces The Wrath Of One Direction Fans — And Lives

by 1 min ago

Looking for a reason to stay on the One Direction fandom’s good side? Here it is, courtesy of Hayley Williams, Chad Gilbert and so many tweets.

On Monday (September 29), the New Found Glory guitarist tweeted that the piano work in 1D’s “Steal My Girl”

…sounded eerily similar to NFG’s own “It’s Not Your Fault.”

He then suggested that he should “get a cut” of the profits, although common sense should tell you he was joking.

chad-gilbert-one-direction

Nonetheless, excuse me while I go scream “DON’T GO UP THOSE STAIRS” at my computer screen because this just wasn’t going to end well.

The Paramore frontwoman, who has been dating Gilbert since 2008, chimed in on the recently released Four single, writing: “Beginning of that new 1D song couldn’t sound any more like the beginning of @newfoundglory’s ‘its not your fault.’”

hayley-williams-one-direction

She even threw in that “But that’s none of my business” meme of Kermit sipping tea to hammer home the point that shade had been thrown — even if said “shade” wouldn’t really meet the textbook definition of the word as laid out in “Paris Is Burning.” We can argue that point of semantics later, but right now I need to cover my eyes because I know what’s about to happen.

Almost immediately, a number of One Direction fans descended upon Chad and Hayley to counter their tweets. Some of the backlash ...

Drake Jokes He Could’ve Made It ‘Work With Rihanna’ If He Had Chris Brown’s Moves

by 2 mins ago

Let’s hope Chris Brown was wearing a bulletproof vest over the weekend, because his frenemy, Drake, might have fired a couple shots in the “New Flame” singer’s direction.

The OVO’s head owl was on the last leg of his Drake Vs. Lil Wayne tour at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, when he decided to bust out some of Brown’s signature dance moves during Weezy’s “Loyal” performance.

“I just been listening to too much Breezy lately, you know? I just haaaad to do it,” he said.

That would have been fine if Drizzy had left it right there, but the “Worst Behavior” MC didn’t leave well enough alone. He had to work in a punchline about his and Chris’ mutual ex: “Man, I shoulda brought that sh-t out earlier. Maybe I coulda made that sh-t work with Rihanna a little better.”

Ouch.

Hopefully that little jab won’t undo the hatchet-burying these two hit-makers did over the summer, like the skit at the ESPYs and all that time spent in the studio together.

As for the “Diamonds” singer? Well, she doesn’t exactly take kindly to anything even remotely anti-Rihanna, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Just Achieved ‘Game Of Thrones’ Levels Of Mayhem

by 8 mins ago

WARNING: Spoilers Ahead!

“Henry Lin sends his regards.”

After weeks of assaults on the Lin Triad, August Marks, and basically anyone else careless enough to cross his path, Jax Teller finally suffered blowback right at home in Charming. Friends, colleagues, cops — you name it — were caught up in the crossfire between the Sons of Anarchy and their misguided revenge quest against the wrong enemy. Nothing, and no one, is safe anymore.

Here’s what went down:

A Charming War

samcro

Henry Lin promised that he would turn Charming into “a god damn killing field,” and he certainly delivered. Someone informed Lin that the Sons were responsible for the attack on their buyers back in “Toil and Till.” That someone remains a mystery, but come on — it’s totally Jury.

Whoever ratted, the results are clear: Lin’s men toss a grenade into Scoops and nearly wipe out every single key member of SAMCRO, as well as Charming’s new sheriff Althea Jarry, who already had one hell of a blood-soaked day on her hands. (More on that in a second.) They survive, but barely.

The women at Diosa are not so lucky. Lin sends a hit squad to SAMCRO and Nero’s joint venture and shoots the whole place up, killing escorts and patrons alike, including Jax’s former fling Colette. And at the docks in Stockton, all the weapons the Sons were guarding are gone, with recent recruit Orlin West killed in the process.

The massive retaliation against the Sons feels straight out of “Game ...
