This Heavy Metal Baby Is Already Cooler Than You

by 9 mins ago

Some babies are just born cooler than others — like Nao Hazuki’s new daughter, who apparently already knows how to throw up the horns like a pro.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Hazuki is a member of Grollschwert, a melodic deathrash metal band from Japan? Or maybe this babe is just destined for great — and intensely metal — things?

“Where did you memorize that…” Hazuki tweeted, along with a photo of his baby just casually drinking from her bottle — and rocking out.

Better get this kid some string or sticks — ASAP. We’re guessing we’ve got another future Jonah Rocks — or Unlocking The Truth — on our hands here.

Which ‘Game Of Thrones’ Hero Just Joined ‘Star Wars’?

by 23 mins ago

The next “Star Wars” movie will already have some Westerosi flavor. But it isn’t really a party until a water dancer from Braavos shows up.

BBC News reports that such a water dancer is indeed on the way to join the cast of “Star Wars: Episode VII,” director J.J. Abrams’ upcoming revival of the beloved science fiction franchise. Actor Miltos Yerolemou, who played eccentric swordsman Syrio Forel in the first season of “Game of Thrones,” is the latest name to board the good ship “Star Wars.” He’s the second “Game of Thrones” cast member to join the film, following Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth on the HBO fantasy series.

There’s no word on who Yerolemou is playing in “Episode VII,” though it’s not expected to be a major role. Still, it’s easy to imagine the artist formerly known as Syrio wielding a lightsaber, whether for good or evil. If you’re not a “Thrones” fan (and if you don’t care about spoilers), you can see the man in sword-swinging action in the video below:

“What do we say to the Star of Death?”

“Not today.”

“Star Wars: Episode VII” lands on December 18, 2015.

Lorde Shares A Snap From The Studio — Could New Music Be On The Way?

by 2 mins ago

What did Lorde do over the long weekend? Well, in addition to pumping her upcoming hometown tour dates, she’s also, apparently, been in the studio.

“i always remind myself to bring a candle for the studio and finally i did today and ohhhhhhh,” Lorde wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of the candle in question, soundboard glinting in the background.

She declined to give any more details on new music — aside from her choice of relaxation technique — but that alone had her fans digitally bouncing with excitement. “In the studio??? Making my dreams come true,” one wrote, while another wrote, simply, “OMG, I can’t wait.”

Lorde is currently working on curating the soundtrack for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ — along with a new track for the movie — but she’s also, apparently, working on the followup to 2013′s Pure Heroine.

“I think I’ve learnt so much as a songwriter, there’s going to be so much of an improvement because of that,” the 17-year-old previously told the BBC. “I’m working on stuff quite tentatively, it’s definitely still at the beginning and yeah, it’s totally different … Now I’m in a different place every day and I’m with new people every day and it’s a different vibe.”

We’re guessing that candle is adding to that vibe. We’ll be waiting for those new tunes, Ella, with breath that is bated.

‘Saved By The Bell’ Reviews: Was Lifetime’s ‘Unauthorized’ Biopic A Ring Or A Miss?

by 28 mins ago

Did you have high expectations for “The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story,” Lifetime’s biopic chronicling the behind-the-scenes antics of Bayside High’s students? If so, they probably screeched to a halt upon seeing the finished product.

The “Saved by the Bell” biopic, spearheaded by Screech actor Dustin Diamond and disavowed by other cast members of the 1990s teen comedy, aired on Lifetime last night, and the reviews are … well, “mixed” would be a nice way of putting it. Let’s just say that on a scale of “so excited” to “so scared,” your expectations should be closer to the latter end of the spectrum.

If you didn’t catch Lifetime’s “Saved by the Bell” movie, don’t worry; these reviews will tell you everything you need to know.

“So it turns out ‘The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story’ is really just Lifetime for ‘Sharknado.’ The network opted not to screen the movie in advance, presumably assuming the nostalgia/live-tweeting factor would only be undermined by the realization this wasn’t so much a movie as a music montage interrupted by reenactments from a mediocre but improbably long-running ‘90s Saturday-morning show. Told primarily from the perspective of Dustin Diamond (who doubles as a producer), the project explores the age-old insecurities of young actors and challenges of sudden stardom, but in such a tedious, empty way the bell couldn’t come soon enough.” — Brian Lowry, Variety

Tom Hiddleston’s ‘Loki’ Movie Is Here! Well, Sort Of

by 2 mins ago

This might not be the “Loki” movie news you wanted, but it just might be the “Loki” movie news you need.

Those who worship at the altar of Tom Hiddleston (and his mustache Wendy) have long advocated for Marvel Studios to turn out a feature film built entirely on the shoulders of Asgard’s biggest mischief maker. There’s no news on that front today, sadly, but there’s this: A fan-film called “Loki: Brother of Thor,” more than two hours long, created using most of the character’s scenes from his Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances: “Thor,” “The Avengers” and “Thor: The Dark World.”

Loki: Brother of Thor from Loki Odinson on Vimeo.

Created by Vimeo user Loki Odinson, “Loki: Brother of Thor” chronicles Loki’s development as one single narrative, cutting some scenes (including fight sequences) and adding others (deleted scenes especially) as a result. Certain character arcs are abandoned entirely, including Iron Man and (surprisingly enough) Thor’s. The creator explains: “My goal wasn’t to sully these films and their characters, but rather offer a different interpretation that celebrates Loki … so no offense intended.”

While we’ve been hearing about her over-300-page book of selfies for the past month, it came as a bit of a surprise that someone might actually have an advanced copy of “Selfish.” It makes sense that it would be ‘Ye.

Think you’ve had a good summer (R.I.P.)? Think again. Lea Michele put our vacation pics to shame when she shared her birthday celebration photos on Twitter.

The “Glee” star decided to start her 28th year in Mexico, staying at the Garza Blanca Resort in Puerto Vallarta. With good friends, nap time, awesome sunsets and gorgeous views, Michele is living it up the right way after her August 29 birthday.

5SOS’ Album Update Is A Giant Pokemon Metaphor: Watch

by 7 mins ago

5 Seconds of Summer have always been poetic dudes. So when I asked them about their work on their upcoming album, they used the most brilliant metaphor possible: Pokemon.

Yep, Ashton, Luke, Michael and Calum thought their transformation on the new record kind of resembles that of Squirtle’s change into Wartortle. Maybe they’ll reach Blastoise status in the future? In the meantime, grab your Pokeballs and try to catch all of 5SOS’ Pokemon references in this video.

Once a ’90s kid, always a ’90s kid.
