Lady Gaga cemented her status as one of music’s biggest voices and Hollywood’s brightest stars with her role in 2018′s A Star is Born.
Her portrayal of singer/songwriter Ally Maine alongside Bradley Cooper earned Gaga her first Oscar win and laid the groundwork for future roles, including Joker: Folie a Deux.
It signified the first time that Mother Monster took the lead in a blockbuster. And while she’s iconic in the role, some fans might not be aware that A Star is Born is a movie that had already been made three times before Lady Gaga was cast.
The first version of the movie was released in 1937 and starred Janet Gaynor; the second came out in 1954 with Judy Garland in the lead. Barbra Streisand took center stage in the version of the movie released in 1976.

Out of all the cars on the road today, there is perhaps no vehicle more associated with Los Angeles than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class — that tall and boxy bank-vault of an SUV which hasn’t really changed shape or size since it was first released by Mercedes-Benz in 1979 as the Geländewagen. The first G’s were made for the trades, rescue services and the military, and Mercedes-Benz likes to tout the fact that more than 80 percent of the G’s ever made are still around on and off-roading.
This all-purpose, go-anywhere vehicle has, throughout the years, had a glow-up or two — and what 45-year-old in the limelight hasn’t. But, at Los Angeles’ Franklin Canyon Park above Beverly Hills on Tuesday, April 23, Mercedes-Benz showed off their latest iteration, one which has had G-Wagen fanatics waiting on tenterhooks: the G 580 with Eq Technology, the first all-electric G-Class model.

It’s been a long time coming.
In a new promo for his directorial project If, John Krasinski and Steve Carell met up for the first time in years. “Reunited and it feeeeels so gooooood!” the Quiet Place filmmaker wrote in a social media post.
“[Carell] happens to be a dear friend,” Krasinski says in the video. “We actually worked together on this little thing a long time ago.”
The footage captures Krasinski and Carell embracing in a recording studio. “So good to see you,” Krasinski says. “Oh my Lord,” Carell responds. “I was just telling you guys — has it been years?” Krasinski asks. “I’m glad we’re getting it,” Carell jokes, pointing to the camera. “This is so intimate.”
“I just love that this is the fifth take and you did great on this,” Krasinski said, causing Carell to head back to the door for a retake of their greeting.

When Avengers: Endgame Deleted Scene Showcased Rocket Raccoon Roasting The Avengers Over Their Fight Against Chitauri (Photo Credit – IMDb/Wikipedia)
The 2019 Avengers: Endgame created history by assembling many actors as heroes in one movie following 2018’s Infinity War. One of the best scenes included Rocket Raccoon’s conversations with the other Avengers stars, for example, when he was adamant about getting Bucky’s metal arm in the 2018 movie.

It’s been a while since Steven Spielberg has dabbled in the world of extra-terrestrials, but according to a report from Variety, the acclaimed director is working on a UFO movie which will likely be his next project.
Sources told Variety that the UFO movie is based on Steven Spielberg’s own original idea and that David Koepp is writing the screenplay. Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have at this point, but a UFO movie from the man who gave us Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is hard to ignore. Koepp has penned a handful of Spielberg movies, including Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The strike may have delayed and abbreviated the third season of Abbott Elementary but Quinta Brunson went into it feeling pretty confident that her comedy wasn’t going anywhere: she was told that ABC had picked up the series for a fourth season.
While appearing at Deadline’s Contenders TV on Sunday, Brunson — who was joined on stage by Tyler James Williams (Gregory), Chris Perfetti (Jacob) and William Stanford Davis (Mr. Johnson) — recalled how incredible it felt to know that “ABC trusted us” before they even began production on season 3.
The news of the pickup was made public in February at the Television Critics Associaton press tour.
The comedy just wrapped production last week on the third season. Brunson, who plays Janine in the comedy that she created for ABC, said she still marvels at how far her Emmy-winning comedy has come.

Bradley Cooper’s talents could aptly be summarized with the title of one of his films, Limitless. With over two decades dedicated to Hollywood, he’s undeniably one of its biggest stars. From the success of The Hangover series to his MCU journey as Rocket in The Guardians of the Galaxy, he has done quite a lot to cement his name in the industry.
Yet, despite his immense success, he hadn’t quite felt welcomed into “the club.” It was his recent departure into more serious roles, including stepping into a role replacing Leonardo DiCaprio, that allowed him to confront the insecurities and emotions he’d accrued over the years.

A new film from Damien Chazelle is officially in the works as his follow-up to the ambitious and costly Old Hollywood epic “Babylon.”
Chazelle will make his follow-up to “Babylon” with the same studio that released that film, Paramount Pictures. Chazelle will direct, write, and produce the for-now-untitled film that was announced at CinemaCon on Thursday morning. The untitled film will be his sixth feature.
No plot details or cast were revealed, but the “La La Land” filmmaker’s film is expected to hit theaters next year, and he will produce alongside Olivia Hamilton under their Wild Chickens Productions banner as part of their first look deal with Paramount, which was announced back in 2022 after the release of “Babylon.”
Chazelle recently admitted that, financially at least, “Babylon” “didn’t work at all” and he worried he wouldn’t get his next film made.
“You try to not have that effect what you’re doing creatively,...

If you didn’t know, blackface is the practice of non-black performers using black makeup to portray a caricature of black people on stage or on film.
In a new interview, the 87-year-old Star Wars actor looked back at the late English actor Laurence Olivier wearing blackface in the 1965 movie adaption of Othello.
Keep reading to find out more…“When he did Othello, I fell out laughing,” Billy recalled on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast.
“He stuck his ass out and walked around because Black people are supposed to have big asses…I fell out laughing,” he added.
“And Bradley Cooper thinks he’s got a problem with the nose,” host Bill Maher noted of Bradley Cooper wearing a prosthetic nose to portray composer Leonard Bernstein in Maestro.
“I thought it was hysterical,” Billy chimed in. “I love that kind of stuff.

Billy Dee Williams said this week he believes actors should be allowed to do blackface, specifically praising Laurence Olivier’s performance in Othello.
“When he did Othello, I fell out laughing,” Williams said of Olivier on Sunday’s episode of Club Random With Bill Maher. In the 1965 film, Olivier wore blackface to play the film’s titular character. “He stuck his ass out and walked around because Black people are supposed to have big asses.”
Maher replied to Williams’ comment by saying, “Today, they would never let you do that.”
Williams then asked Maher, “Why?” to which Maher asked, in shock: “Blackface?”
“Why not? You should do it,” Williams said. “If you’re an actor, you should do anything you want to do.”
In response to his perspective, Maher pointed out that Williams, 87, “actually lived in a period where you couldn’t play the parts you should’ve played.”

However, there was one person who wasn’t impressed with the film, and that was before cameras had even rolled. The project’s director Derek Cianfrance has revealed that at one point, one of the film’s leading men was so unimpressed with a script rewrite that he tried to quit the movie.

Bradley Cooper almost quit The Place Beyond the Pines.
During Indiewire’s Screen Talk live at the New Directors/New Films festival, writer/director Derek Cianfrance — who co-wrote the feature with future Sound of Metal director Darius Marder — said Cooper didn’t like what he read after receiving an updated script. That’s because Marder and Cianfrance rewrote “every word.”
Cooper hated the changes to his character, a police officer who kills an empathetic thief (Ryan Gosling) midway through the 2013 film.
“I had given [Darius Marder] the script and he had a lot of notes for it, and I kind of agreed with a lot of what he was saying. And so we rewrote every word from 10 weeks to six weeks,” Cianfrance said. “I remember giving Bradley Cooper the copy of ‘The Place Beyond the Pines,’ the new script, and getting a voice message from him saying, ‘Bro, I just want to...

Bradley Cooper is unhesitant and unequivocally bold while listing out his thoughts. Especially when it comes to the projects he takes on, he doesn’t waver to let everyone know his thoughts on the story he has chosen to work on. This is why he was almost willing to quit the very movie that had Ryan Gosling head over heels in love with the actress who later became his wife, Eva Mendes.
Bradley Cooper in The Hangover.
Yes, the film in talks here is none other than the indie masterpiece by Derek Cianfrance from 2013, The Place Beyond the Pines — also the film that started the Gosling-Mendes love story. And the reason why Cooper was so hell-bent on quitting the project after getting on board was the rewrites and the new draft presented to him, which was, quite simply, not what he had in mind for the movie.

The Place Beyond the Pines director Derek Cianfrance revealed that Bradley Cooper nearly quit the 2013 film after receiving a rewritten script.
The filmmaker, who also co-wrote the crime drama starring Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, recently told IndieWire at the New Directors/New Films festival that he brought in screenwriter Darius Marder to rewrite “every word” of the movie just before filming began.
However, Cianfrance said once the Star Is Born actor read the updated script, he was not very happy with the changes to his character, Avery, a police officer who kills an empathetic thief (Gosling) halfway through the movie.
“I had given [Marder] the script and he had a lot of notes for it, and I kind of agreed with a lot of what he was saying. And so we rewrote every word from 10 weeks to six weeks,” he recalled. “I remember giving Bradley Cooper the copy of The Place Beyond the Pines,...
