Happy post-Independence Day Monday! I hope you all had a restful long weekend. I wasn’t around on Thursday to wrap up last week’s poll, so let’s take a quick look at those numbers now...

Aah, the Fourth of July. It’s the perfect weekend for barbecuing, enjoying your family… and watching Rambo rip a man’s Adam’s Apple out with his bare hands? We have tons of Christmas movies, Halloween movies; hell, there’s even a “Groundhog’s Day” film...

Earlier this year, Bill Nighy was lamenting the fact that he, of all the actors in Britain, had yet to be cast in a “Harry Potter” installment...

Hey “Harry Potter” fans! I’m pretty excited for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” I have to say. I hesitate to call it my favorite of the books, but it’s definitely the tightest, most action-packed of the stories...

Amy Adams can do no wrong in my book, but if you were afraid all she was destined for was bubbly fare such as “Leap Year” or “The Ten Best Days of My Life” then you’ll be glad to know she’s taking a detour through the rough part of town...

Just as everyone has an opinion, a favorite meal and a nose — albeit a fake one at times — so too does everyone have a birthday. Even celebrities...

It appears that even the irreverent humor of cultural satirist Sacha Baron Cohen has its limits. In the wake of pop star Michael Jackson’s death on Thursday, the decision was made — rightly, I think — to remove from a scene from Cohen’s “Brüno” featuring La Toya Jackson...

Those of you who are desperate for summer jobs, or are suffering the sting of a layoff, it might help you to know that not even a superstar like Brad Pitt is immune to unemployment woes...

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Oh, the world of Twitter, where celebrities keep their stalker fans happy and following with 140-character teases into their lives in the hopes they will reveal something new, exciting and exclusive...

Get ready giant robot-loving fanpeeps. Michael Bay’s highly anticipated “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” doesn’t hit theaters until next week, but Variety has run the first official review. The verdict? Pretty much what you’d expect. Is that a bad thing? Nope… not at all...
