When Michael Keaton won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, the 63-year-old Birdman star spoke about his son, Sean Douglas, who he called his "best friend."
"My best friend is kind, intelligent, funny, talented, considerate, thoughtful — did I say kind? He also happens to be my son, Sean," Keaton said, tears in his eyes. "I love you with all my heart, buddy."
Video: Flashback: Michael Keaton Talks About His 'Distinct' & 'Definitive' Work 28 Years Ago
Keaton's speech was one of the most emotional and endearing of the evening -- next to perhaps Gina Rodriguez’s after her surprising win for Jane the Virgin -- but who exactly is Keaton's son?
Sean Douglas – who goes by his father's original surname which Keaton changed due to another already famous Michael Douglas in Hollywood – is Keaton's son with late-actress Caroline McWilliams.

Not the best in terms of money making of course, that belongs to the loud robots, but this weekend looks to be one of the best by a critical and audience standpoint. The two releases Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (shouldn’t this one have been called Rise instead?) and Boyhood have managed to live up to their respective hype it seems. You can click the banners below to see any updates, but slight changes today and tomorrow shouldn’t drops these numbers much if at all.
I’m happy to say that I look forward to seeing both these movies, especially Boyhood. I’ve had my eye on that movie for a long time. Apes does look like a lot of fun, and director Matt Reeves should be proud that he was able to make what looks to be the definitive Pota movie. For all of us...

Well, we’re getting into the weird part. Considering that 2006 and 2007 were mere blinks ago, the idea of revisiting these years via VH1′s rose-colored nostalgia goggles is certainly an unsettling one.

var brightcovevideoid = '3402282878001'; We'd heard some rumors that Leighton Meester could sing, and now it appears they're true: In a collaboration with musician Dana Williams, the former Gossip Girl star sings a beautiful, lilting cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." In the video, shot in February by Williams's sister Davida, Meester plays guitar and sings backup vocals on a sensitive cover of Mac's 1977 hit, before taking the song's second verse herself. Meester, who married The O.C.'s Adam Brody in February, also showed off her pipes in 2010's Country Strong, playing a pageant queen with musical aspirations. A year earlier,...

Their nuptials will be featured in an upcoming issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. In a fitting spin, the duo got engaged on New Year's Eve in Barbados, where the 33-year-old rocker popped the question to his then-girlfriend in grand style: by writing out his proposal on their patio using corals and flowers gathered from the beach.

Eager to start their lives together, Gabe Saporta and Erin Fetherston got hitched after an under 6 months engagement on Sunday (May 26).
The Cobra Starship frontman and his fashion designer bride headed to Barbados at the historical St. Nicholas Abbey plantation.
A rep for the couple reveals, "Fetherston wore a gown of her own design, and Saporta wore a custom Gieves & Hawkes suit. Images of the wedding will be featured in Martha Stewart Weddings' September issue."
Earlier, the "You Make Me Feel..." singer gushed about his fiancée, "What I really love about Erin is that being with her inspires me to be better. Erin and I are able to propel one another forward without ever being critical or judgmental. I feel like she sees my shortcomings, she sees my potential, and she's got my back no matter what. She's my teammate and my best friend. There is no one I'd rather spend my time with.

It’s been a long four years for many a Fall Out Boy fan. After the grossly under-received Folie a Deux, it was no surprise that the jittery four-piece decided to go down swinging. What was a surprise was when the band announced a surprise comeback album just two months ago. Complete with the rather pretentious title Save Rock & Roll. But you’ve got to admire them. There are few bands around these days who would have the guts to make this bold claim over an album that features an up-and-coming pop star and a rapper on vocals. Nevertheless, in an age when rock and roll is a genre buried deep beneath the power of computers, you can’t really expect it to be saved by a tribute to days gone by. Fall Out Boy recognise that it’s out with the old, in with the new.

Buzzfeed has a preview of the Glee/Archie crossover comic, where half of each group gets zapped into the parallel universe that each gang lives in. Do I see a spark of passion between Veronica and Santana? And exactly what happens when you put Blaine and Kevin Keller together, and which universe rules are we operating under? Is it Archie's purity rules, or Glee's sexytime rules? Because that's important. Oh, and I expect to see some slash with those character pairings.
Speaking of Kevin Keller, on April 18th, he gets his own hardcover young adult novel, Kevin. It will give some back story on the out hunk during his time in middle school, including prom, being a military brat, and a boy who doesn't return his affections.

Culpo, a Boston University sophomore, will take a year off from her studies to tackle her duties as Miss USA and represent the nation in the 61st Miss Universe contest in December. The 20-year-old said she wished she could have shared her crown with her 50 competitors during the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

What movie comes to mind when thinking of films that portray women in a positive way? Would it perhaps be 'Pretty Woman'? That was the unexpected answer given by Miss Ohio Audrey Bolte on the "2012 Miss USA Pageant" (Sun., 9 p.m. Et on NBC). She was inspired that Julia Roberts' prostitute character "came out on top and she didn’t let anybody stay in her path."
Perhaps not surprisingly, Miss Ohio didn't win the competition. That honor went to a cellist from Rhode Island, 20-year old Olivia Culpo. She will go on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant.
Culpo didn't get a chance to play her instrument during the telecast. Instead, the contestants strutted the stage during an evening gown competition, and in their bikinis. Rounding out the competition was the aforementioned question-and-answer session. They were joined on stage by Cobra Starship during the bikini round,...

Culpo never stumbled as she embraced the Miss Universe Organization's recent decision to admit transgender contestants."I do think that would be fair," Culpo said.

We'll say this. The crew at 103.5 Kiss FM Chicago can really throw a party. They call it "Fantabuloso." The concert, which took place at the Allstate Arena on Friday, May 18th, featured an all-star line up of Top 40 hit-makers including artists like Gym Class Heroes, Enrique Iglesias, The Wanted, Adam Lambert, B.o.B., Cobra Starship, Karmin, DJ Havana Brown, Carly Rae Jepsen, Neon Hitch, Outasight, and Dev. Quite a line up, and to be honest, we could give each artist their own article but in the interest of time, we'll just say that everyone who performed gave the audience an honest bang for their hard-earned buck. The six-hour musical extravaganza had it's share of highlights, so we've compiled a list of the night's best moments along with some fab photos from the show. Pop music duo Karmin kicked off the show with an energetic set, followed by synth-pop band Cobra Starship,...

Fans of Courtney Love will know that she's had a distinctly incoherent online presence for years -- from the Kitty Radio message board, to her mess of a blog on MySpace, plus an Etsy account and not one, but two, Twitter accounts that tend to get her into trouble.
Paper magazine caught up with the 47-year-old rock star to discuss how she deals with her online presence and Internet persona.
"I'm not a social network genius, as evidenced by being the first and only person ever to have a Twitter lawsuit" says Love when asked about her public and private Twitter accounts (her private account had been deleted at the time of publication). "At the time that lawsuit happened, I didn't even really fully get what Twitter was for or how it worked."
Love ended up having to shell out $430,000 in 2011, settling a lawsuit filed by designer Dawn Simorangkir, who sued the singer,...

Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta will guest star the Gossip Girl season finale May 14.
The 32-year-old will make his acting debut in the episode, "The Return of The Ring" (for much more on the big episode, follow the link for our Gossip Girl season finale spoilers article and discussion).
"Acting is something that has been of interest to him for a while," a source says of Saporta, 32, whose casting was first reported by E! Online. "So when he was offered the role, he jumped at it."
"I can tell you that he's playing a character that is not a musician," the informer said.
This isn't Saporta's first Gossip Girl collaboration. Cobra Starship's hit song "Good Girls Go Bad" features vocals by Leighton Meester, who also appears in the video. The song has been featured on Gossip Girl as well.

Gossip Girl is getting a new hottie. And he's way more than just a good-looking face—it's Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta! I can exclusively reveal that… Saporta, 32, will make his acting debut in the CW series' upcoming season finale on May 14. "Acting is something that has been of interest to him for a while," a source reports. "So when he was offered the role, he jumped at it." But to keep things pretty much spoiler-free, the source stayed mum on story details. "I can tell you that he's playing a character that is not a musician," the informer said.

Back in early '09 when First Date was just an idea, I put together a list of dream dates – of which there were a lot. One of them was a band that featured the dreamy lead singer of Midtown, who sang that awesome catchy song with Blair Waldorf that I couldn’t get out of my head all summer. But then other things got in the way – their fame skyrocketed, I continued to date other eligible bands I liked in need of a big break, and that’s just how we left it. But I don’t like unfinished business.
I first worked with the guys in Cobra Starship during Vma weekend in 2011. They played the pre-show and I shot an interview with them and produced a sketch in which "Dick Bagwell" and "Vincent Twice (Vincent Twice)," better known as the band’s Ryland Blackinton and Alex Suarez,...

Oh sure, the party-starting tracks most people expect these days from the interchangeable likes of Cobra Starship, Lmfao and 3Oh!3 feature, but it's the '90s that are here in full force.

It's obvious that Dancing With the Stars' results shows need some filler for that one-hour slot they have, so tonight was jam-packed with performances from Cobra Starship singing "You Make Me Feel," young male dancers from the Gold School showing their skills and even the Muppets doing a little song-and-dance. But between all that jazz, we got to the bottom of why we were watching in the first place:to find out who got cut one week shy of the finals. But before we get to that, there were two performances that tickled our fancy. The first was an encore of Rob Kardashian's samba from last night, which earned him his first 10 of the season. Judge Len Goodman introduced it as wanting to...

When we think of Cobra Starship, we think neon colors and/or sharp suits to match their party-perfect electro-pop sound. And we certainly hope they bring that kind of sartorial energy when they perform at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But last Friday, when they stopped by Big Morning Buzz Live to talk about Nightshade and eggplant on eggplant violence, they were understandably a little more casual and neutral-colored than usual. And yet still demonstrated that trademark Cobra sense of fun. Let’s take a closer look.

Late Monday, reports began circulating that Gossip Girl star/possessor of amazing bone structure Penn Badgley had signed on to portray Jeff Buckley in an upcoming biopic, one of two currently being planned about the late singer-songwriter, who died in 1997 in a freak drowning accident.
Badgley's film is called Greetings From Tim Buckley and will apparently take place in the days leading up the 1991 tribute concert for Jeff’s father Tim, who died in 1975 of a drug overdose, where Jeff made his public singing debut. According to a statement from the production company behind the project, the plot centers around "a romance with a young woman working the concert," through which Buckley "comes to understand the father who abandoned him."
And while some might be concerned that Badgley might not possess the, uh, depth required for a role of this magnitude, we have faith that he’s got it in him.

For a while there it seemed like Leighton Meester was only going to be "Country Strong," but now she's again embracing her dance-club music roots on a new track. On Tuesday, a new Meester tune titled "Front Cut" hit the Web.
The "Gossip Girl" star's track, a certain club banger that could easily be confused with any song in Ke$ha's dance-heavy discography, features the writing, production and vocal talents of Clinton Sparks.
"I'm too fly to be all up in this line, boy/ I should get a front cut/ I should get a front cut," Meester proclaims in the opening lines of the song — which is all about getting key access to a slamming party — before some...

Leighton Meester is still working on her debut album which has been mentioned since 2009. The "Gossip Girl" beauty has joined forces with Clinton Sparks, and their duet titled "Front Cut" has been unveiled and offered for free download. It's expected to make the cut to her upcoming record.
From going country in the soundtrack of her recently-released movie "Country Strong", now Leighton returns to her pop/dance root. In this track, both she and Clinton agree she should get a front cut instead of standing in line because she looks "too fine and good" to be waiting in the queue.
It takes a long time for Leighton to release an album because she is, according to E! Online, making not just one CD but two. Beside working with Clinton Sparks, she has previously hooked up with Robin Thicke in "Somebody to Love" and lent her vocal in Cobra Starship's...

After going country in drama film "Country Strong", Leighton Meester returns to her dance roots with new song "Front Cut". The actress playing Blair Waldorf on "Gossip Girl" has teamed up with producer and songwriter Clinton Sparks for the track, which first listen can be heard via E! Online.
In the freshly-shared snippet, the songstress who is featured on Cobra Starship's song "Good Girls Go Bad", demands to get right to the front of the line. No official release date has been set just yet, but it was noted that the dance tune is expected to be included on one of the 24-year-old's two forthcoming albums.
Back in December, Leighton revealed to MTV News that she has recorded three songs for her debut album. Asked when the effort will see the light of day, she added, "I have, like, 20 more to do. So I don't know when that's going to happen.

The Roommate is a largely missed opportunity, right down to the design of the actual “room” these “mates” share. As escapist Hollywood entertainment does, everything at the fictional University of Los Angeles is better looking than your college experience. Often freshman dorms have more in common with prison cells and housing projects: brutalist architecture built on the cheap, reflecting a period before colleges became more competitive by building more glamorous accommodations. Imagine a cinder block cave, isolated as two roommates slowly adapt to each others personalities, world-views and meld into something that will haunt your being. This could be great psychological drama. In fact, I’m going to register this treatment with the Writers Guild after I finish this review.
Instead, Danish director Christian E. Christiansen, in his English-language debut, tries too hard to keep a straight face, crafting a thriller that we’ve seen before, although this may be...
