Beyoncé rooted for the home team while grabbing lunch with her husband Jay-Z and sister Solange at the iconic Dooky Chase restaurant in New Orleans on Wednesday. The singer rocked a Houston Astros jersey with ripped jeans, paying homage to the Mlb team just a week after they won the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The group posed for photos with staff - including "Queen of Creole" Leah Chase - while at the restaurant, and after finishing lunch, Jay, Beyoncé, and Solange, along with her 13-year-old son, Julez, casually hopped on a private jet.

A little over a week after stealing the spotlight at a friend's New Orleans nuptials, Beyoncé shared a series of throwback photos on her website over the weekend of her and Blue Ivy doing the same thing at another wedding. The fun shots are from the August nuptials of Beyoncé's creative director, Todd Tourso, and show Beyoncé and Blue having a blast while dancing and flashing peace signs. Their cute outing also backs up the photo Beyoncé's mom, Tina Lawson, recently posted of a young Beyoncé looking nearly identical to Blue. "If Beyoncé don't look like Blue on this photo!!!" she wrote. Hey, you know what they say - like mother, like daughter, right?

Killer Mike sadly isn't running for president (though he did try to run for Georgia state representative), but earlier this year he did the next-best thing and endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. To prove just how much he's feeling the Bern, on Monday, the Run the Jewels rapper took Sanders on a tour of his hometown of Atlanta, making stops for some authentic soul food at Busy Bee and a look at his barber shop. Obviously, they became fast friends, because who doesn't love Killer Mike? But it wasn't just some campaign photo-op: The whole hangout led up to Killer Mike's impassioned speech at a Sanders rally that night, where he blasted the idea of having to live through another Reagan or Thatcher era, quoted his song "Untitled," and listed his reasons for supporting Sanders. "In my heart of hearts, I truly believe that Senator Bernie Sanders is...

Check out these sneak peek clips of next week's "Pretty Little Liars" episode, titled "Close Encounters."
Above, the Liars investigate what we assume is a room at the Busy Bee Inn and it looks as though Alison has been crashing there. We wonder for how long? But the girls are too late to save Ali, as "A" so nicely reminds them with a message carved in the door.
Below, Hanna brushes Spencer off as to talking about Caleb and the breakup, vowing that she's moving on. Mmm hmm. Not buying it, Hanna banana.
In the next clip, Toby wants to give up on looking into his mom's death -- he's concerned about how ugly a court battle could be. But Spencer is like a dog with a bone and something tells us she's going to get her way.
Finally, Hanna and Cowboy Travis (guest star Luke Kleintank) play some pool ... in Hanna's basement?...

Pretty Little Liars’ “Love ShAck Baby” had Hanna put on a brave face in light of her break-up with Caleb, while the girls go on an adventure to track down Ali based on clues found in her journal.
This week’s episode began with Hanna (Ashley Benson), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Aria (Lucy Hale) agreeing to take turns reading Ali’s journal and marking which entries were about themselves. Ali (Sasha Pieterse), always crafty, gave everyone pseudonyms and wrote parts of her journal in code. To make matters even more complicated, the girls all have stories in the journal they’d like to keep hidden from each other. Emily takes the first turn and spends her night examining the journal, presumably reading about Ali’s flirtation with her and the kiss they shared before Emily came out to her friends. That night, Emily dreams that Ali comes...

After the "Transformers 4" crew spent much of the weekend torching cars, blowing up buildings and flying helicopters under bridges downtown, the production moved north to the city's Uptown neighborhood starting Wednesday.
The blockbuster's star Mark Wahlberg was spotted along with co-star T.J. Miller shooting scenes on North Broadway Street on Wednesday. According to the Chicago Tribune, a portion of the strip just north of West Lawrence Avenue has been temporarily morphed into a Texas town. The inside of the iconic Uptown Theatre was reportedly decorated with posters reading "SXSW Music Fest Jun 8, 2002."
(Check out Uptown Update for photos of Wahlberg on the "Transformers" shoot in Uptown.)
Though we didn't catch a glimpse of Wahlberg when we stopped by the shoot late Thursday morning, we did get a good view of some impressive classic cars, guys in western wear and some "new" fake businesses along the stretch including "Star of...

That seems to be the issue for Red Chillies Entertainments’ next production Chennai Express. While lead actor and producer Shah Rukh Khan is bowled over by Katrina Kaif after working with her on Yash Chopra’s return to direction and wants to share more screen space, director Rohit Shetty is concerned Katrina won’t be able to allot dates for the schedule.
Between Dhoom 3, Ek Tha Tiger, her endorsements and whatever else is in Busy Bee Katrina’s plate, the likely-hood of her availability seem slim and what’s more Rohit doesn’t want to postpone the schedule for her. On top of that, there is a possibility the Dhoom 3 schedule is set to be at the same time.

The Chainsaw Sally Show recently aired the final episode of their eagerly anticipated web series' Season 2. The stars of the production were gracious enough to sit down with Dread Central and talk about the adventures of creating this indie production.
Director and co-star of The Chainsaw Sally Show Season 2, JimmyO Burril, joined us with the three beautiful stars of the show, April Burril, Debbie Rochon and Nicolette LeFaye.
JimmyO (who directs and also stars as uber-villain Angel Eyes) talked about just how it felt to wrap season 2 of the show without knowing if we would ever see Sally again. "Our crew is tiny," JimmyO said. "It's eight people, including us (himself and April). And we took Sally up to the conclusion we wanted. It’s a satisfying ending, but it leaves it open for more. If we go back to Sally, I think I want to take her to a city.

She's baaaack. Fans of the psychotic, sexy siren with a saw will be thrilled to know that April Monique Burril and friends are ready to launch The Chainsaw Sally Show Season 2. Sally and all her friends are back, with more blood-letting, boobs and brutality than ever before. Believe the tagline... "Twice the Blood, Half the Clothes".
Series creator/writer/director JimmyO Burril says viewers will see a Sally they recognize, but perhaps a bit evolved. "While still a sitcom, this season is a little darker, a little grittier, with no rules except our own to guide us," JimmyO said. This can certainly be seen immediately in the first episode of Season 2 as Sally gets frisky with a plaything in a scene that evolves into a realistic bloodbath with a 70's-esque feel. "There are some new developments this season and a handful of unexpected twists and turns," added JimmyO. The biggest...

Preface - I was unable to watch this until Saturday thanks to a minor basketball game. Seriously, a Slu basketball game against a college I had never heard of. We're not even talking Ncaa here. Thanks CW! But I do not come to complain because I avoided all threads involving this episode. So this recap is completely SpoilerTV commentator-free. I don't know what others are thinking but I'm guessing the fan base is split. Here's how I saw it.
Previously - Madison was a werewolf (many cry at how it ended - not me), Dean shot a werewolf (whatever), Sam has no soul, Alphas exist, Crowley wants them and he's withholding Sam's soul until he gets another one.

Nicolette Le Faye is a Maryland based actress whose out to make a name for herself in the indie horror film scene while staying true to her Maryland roots and doing things her way, even if isn't the most popular choice. She stole scenes in Chris Lamartina's President's Day, a gory fun little film in which a killer in an Abraham Lincoln costume kills off those running for student body president. Nicolette was so convincing as the school bi*ch, you would think she was one in real life! She is also featured in The Chainsaw Sally Show directed by Jimmyo Burril and co-starring the legendary Debbie Rochon. We hope that Nicolette continues to take risks, push boundaries and never confirms to someone else's vision of what they think she should be. We had the chance to ask her a few questions about her work. Here is what Nicolette Le Faye had to say.

If you ask iconic New York City graffiti artist Phade (better known as Shirt King Phade from the legendary Shirt Kingz) about the current state of hip-hop, he'd more than likely tell you it's alive and breathing and resides in the Bronx, New York.
Whether you agree or disagree, Phade has been around the culture for decades and just like any other passionate hip hop fan is entitled to his opinion. But the difference between Phade and your average fan is Phade has lived the life of a rapper. And his crew, the Shirt Kingz, are his clique.
For those who may not be aware, Phade and the almighty Shirt Kingz carved a name for themselves in hip hop history by hooking up some of the '80s biggest acts with customized clothing. From LL Cool J to Bbd to Biz Markie to Jay-z, you weren't considered...

What makes a great concert? Confident and enthused performers? Check. An excited and willing crowd? Got it. An hour and a half wait for the main act after terrible openers? Probably not. And so it was last Friday night down at Sonar Baltimore for Talib Kweli.
This particular half of the best legendary hip-hop alliance (Black Star) held up his name when he and his DJ made their way out to the stage, after a painfully long period between sets. Kweli was on point, lyrically ferocious and ready to interact with the patience-tested crowd. Amping things up another notch, he brought out infamous female hip-hop goddess Jean Grae, whose on stage persona is hard-hitting vocally and slightly insane when it comes to onstage banter.
The worst point of the show was easily the openers and the tireless Busy Bee, who attempted to warm up the crowd with promises that “the...
