James Woods recently told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM radio show that he was “gently” asked not to promote Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” in which he served as an executive producer after buying rights to the non-fiction book (“American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin) upon which Nolan’s screenplay is based. The film was a cultural juggernaut with $975 million worldwide (the highest-grossing biopic in history) and won Oscars for best picture, director, actor, supporting actor and more.

“When ‘Oppenheimer’ came out, there was a discussion about my Twitter, and it was gently suggested that I basically remain invisible, which was painful,” Woods said, claiming that his outspoken support for Donald Trump over the years made him a risk for “Oppenheimer’s” release and awards campaign.

“On the other hand, I’m a pragmatic person and I thought, a lot of people put their effort into this,” Woods continued.

Jack Axelrod, the actor who played the role of Victor Jerome on General Hospital, has died. He was 93.

Multiple reports indicate that Axelrod died on Nov. 28 of natural causes in Los Angeles.

Axelrod was featured on the ABC soap for 40 episodes between 1987 and 1989. He had previously made guest appearances in Kojak (1977), Hill Street Blues (1984), Dallas (1983), The Judge (1986), Dynasty (1987), Outlaws (1987) and Night Court (1989).

“I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him in his last years, as he had no immediate family,” representative Jennifer Garland said in a statement to EW. “We spent much time outdoors, where Jack loved to sketch, read news articles, and recite Shakespearean sonnets.”

Following his stint on General Hospital, Axelrod went on to play Arnie Zimmer on three episodes of Knots Landing between 1989 and 1990. Guest appearances would follow on shows like Murphy Brown (1992), Everybody Loves Raymond (1999), Boys Meets World (1999), Good vs Evil (1999), Jack & Jill...

Exclusive: Andrew Dice Clay (Pam & Tommy) and Jordan Johnson-Hinds (The Endgame) will star in the Quiver-acquired basketball drama Warrior Strong from director Shane Belcourt (Red Rover), which has entered production in Northern Ontario, Canada.

The film written by Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp) centers on basketball protege and egocentric Bilal Irving (Johnson-Hinds), who is asked to be the assistant coach of his former high school team, the Dumont Warriors, alongside Coach Avery Schmidt (Clay). Bilal subsequently learns that true coaching involves far more than simply teaching the game. The question is, will this rag-tag team of misfits have what it takes to put aside their differences and become Warrior Strong?

Nicholas Tabarrok and Leah Jaunzems are producing for Darius Films, with Quiver’s Berry Meyerowitz, Jeff Sackman and Larry Greenberg serving as exec producers. Quiver holds worldwide rights to the film and will be introducing it for sale at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.

The filmed London production of the David Bowie musical Lazarus starring Michael C. Hall will stream for three performances this weekend to mark both the late singer’s Jan. 8 birthday and the fifth anniversary of his Jan. 10 death.

Producers Robert Fox and Rzo Entertainment announced the exclusive release of the streamed performances today. The production was captured live on stage during the musical’s sold-out 2016 run at King’s Cross Theatre. Lazarus premiered in 2015 at The New York Theatre Workshop, one of Bowie’s final completed projects.

Inspired by the novel The Man Who Fell To Earth by Walter Tevis (The Queen’s Gambit) and serving as a sequel to the both the book and the 1976 film starring Bowie, Lazarus utilizes classic songs from the Bowie catalog as well as several numbers written for the stage show such as the title song.

Now that is a headline assuredly in the running to receive a nonexistent Most Unexpected of the Week accolade.

We can hardly bring ourselves to believe it, either, but according to one industry insider, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 3 is reportedly in the early stages of development. The rumor comes by way of tipster Daniel Richtman, who has proven to be reliable in the past in regards to revealing Disney’s upcoming plans for the franchise before they’re made official. We can’t stress enough, of course, that everything you read here is strictly unconfirmed, but if we’re to assume, for the sake of discussion, that a sequel to LucasArts’ short-lived series is in the works, the existence of such a project raises some incredibly interesting questions.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Richtman is either unwilling or unable to share any further details beyond those relayed above, though given that triple-a...

Who The F*ck Is Jeffrey Gurian? is a fascinating short film about a guy named Jeff Gurian - a fixture in the comedy world for the last 40 years. "From Dangerfield to Burle to Dice, Jeffrey has written for them. He has made films, written multiple books... He accomplished all of this while also running his own cosmetic dentistry practice.

While he has since retired from his dental practice, he is still very much in the comedy world pursuing his childhood dream of being a famous comedian." There's some kooky animated sequences in this visualizing moments in his life, and he...

Night of the Living Dead, Nosferatu, House on Haunted Hill, and other horror classics are featured in the brand new video for Fake Shark's Superstitious Thing, and we have the exclusive premiere for you to watch right now!

When asked about the concept for the video, Fake Shark's Kevvy said that "it came somewhat out of necessity. We had these plans to do these elaborate dance videos, but had to change direction because we’re in isolation. I called Johnny Jansen, who’s a brilliant award winning director for videos, such as Said the Whale - Unamerican to see if he had any ideas, and I sent him the song. He called me back all excited and explained the idea and I laughed my head off. He had me film my mouth from different directions to fit on the faces off all this stock horror footage.

Natasha Leggero has joined the CBS comedy pilot “Broke,” rounding out the show’s three main roles. She joins previously announced stars Jaime Camil and Pauley Perrette.

In the multi-cam, when an outrageously wealthy trust fund baby (Camil) is cut off by his father, he and his wife (Leggero) move into her estranged sister’s (Perrette) Reseda condo, forcing the two siblings to reconnect.

Leggero’s character is named Elizabeth, described as refined and slightly snobby. Despite the slightly elitist mentality, Elizabeth is a loving woman who hasn’t entirely forgotten her humble roots.

Billy Gardell could be back in a leading role of his own CBS series before you know it.

Variety has learned that Gardell is attached to star in a comedy series that has received a pilot production commitment at the broadcaster. The project is titled “Bob Hearts Abishola.” Gardell would play a man who has a heart attack and falls in love with his Nigerian nurse. He then sets his sights on getting her to give him a chance.

The series hails from writers Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky, Al Higgins, and Gina Yashere, with Lorre, Gorodetsky, and Higgins also serving as executive producers. Chuck Lorre Productions Inc. will produce in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Lorre is under an overall deal.

Showtime has canceled the Andrew Dice Clay comedy “Dice” after two seasons. The scripted, semi-autobiographical series starring the comedian as a version of himself, wrapped its seven-episode second season in October.

Billy Bush made his first late-night appearance since his lewd conversation with President Donald Trump was released more than a year ago.

On Monday evening, the former Today show anchor, 46, sat down with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, where he discussed the infamous tape — which resulted in him being let go from his NBC hosting post — and explained why he wrote his New York Times op-ed published Sunday, in which he confirmed that Trump made the comments despite the president recently claiming that the infamous tape was fabricated.

“Last week, for some reason came out with, ‘That’s not my voice on the tape.

Andrew Dice Clay is recuperating after doctors discovered he had a much more serious condition following his hospitalization for dehydration and exhaustion.

Clay, 60, checked into a Las Vegas hospital last week initially as a precaution but, once there, tests revealed the actor had “a partially blocked artery,” his rep tells People exclusively.

“He thought he pinched a nerve at the gym,” the rep says. “But once at the hospital he was told he had a partially blocked artery and underwent a stent procedure.”

The rep adds, “He’s now stable and resting comfortably with his family at his Vegas retreat.

Although Shameless has been the unabashed ratings king on Showtime, the subscription network isn't really known for its comedy series. Can its new White Famous TV show -- inspired by the early career of Jamie Foxx -- change all that in a way the low-rated Dice hasn't been able to? Will White Famous be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. A scripted comedy, White Famous stars Jay Pharoah, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Jacob Ming-Trent, Lonnie Chavis, and Cleopatra Coleman, with Foxx guest starring as himself. In the first season, Michael Rapaport, Stephen Tobolowsky, Jack Davenport, Kendrick Sampson, Lyndon Smith, Natalie Zea, and Meagan Good also guest star on the Showtime TV series.

Leggero, who was interviewing stars on behalf of the cable network, asked Love, "Do you have any advice for a young girl moving to Hollywood?" "Um, I'll get libeled if I say it," Love began. "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go." Several women, including top actresses,...

The Tick is as inherently likable as his name is absolutely unappealing. The big blue superhero of inexplicable origins and incredible strength is more like a lovable puppy than the bloodsucking arachnid found on them. He’s instantly endearing, and the more time spent with The Tick, the more love is felt for the pure-of-heart and utterly clueless crusader.

The Tick doesn’t know anything: where he’s from, how old he is, or even if he’s wearing a costume — the costume might be part of him! (In fact, referring to The Tick as a “he” may not be accurate, either.) But none of that matters. All that matters is justice. He just wants to do the right thing, at all times, while making everybody happy. His perpetual joy is infectious (again, like a puppy) and every time The Tick pops up, you know you’re only seconds away from a smile.

“Dice” Season 2 opens with an “It’s a Wonderful Life” parody.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Dice” Season 2. Proceed at your own behest, but IndieWire believes “Dice” is not a show that can be spoiled by sharing genre plot details.]

Titled “It’s a Miserable Life,” the premiere shoots into an alternate reality — fitting, given it airs with “Twin Peaks” in Showtime’s Sunday night lineup — after Dice, the character inspired and played by Andrew Dice Clay, is told the world would be a better place without him in it. Specifically, a rabbi screams at him, “The world would be a better place if Andrew Dice Clay had never been born!”

Be it the fervor with which the words are conveyed or the religious status of the rabbi screaming them, Dice is profoundly affected. The next thing you know, he’s waking up in a hotel room, alone, with a whole new life. He’s not a washed-up comedian anymore. He never was one.

Instead, he’s a bespectacled salesman on a trip to Las Vegas to make a...

There is a bizarrely large number of TV shows right now about stand-up comedians. Granted, write-what-you-know is sound advice, but Showtime seems particularly invested in the lives of joke-makers, with “I’m Dying Up Here” chronicling the ’70s stand-up scene launching this summer, and Andrew Dice Clay‘s “Dice” gearing up for a second season. This fall, yet another show about the life of a stand-up arrives with “White Famous,” but it offers up an intriguing twist.

Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o gives standup comedy a whirl on Billy on the Street. The 12 Years a Slave star surprised passersby with bawdy material by famous comics in preparation for her own "comedy special," which Eichner dubs: "Lupita Nyong'o: Bring the Pain."

In the episode, the duo subjected unsuspecting New Yorkers to the actress' awkward comic delivery, nabbing jokes from Bob Saget, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay and Daniel Tosh. Nyong'o shocked one woman with Saget's raunchy bit about bestiality.

Andrew Dice Clay‘s new series “Dice” has received a Season 2 order at Showtime, TheWrap has learned. The new season will feature seven half-hour episodes and will air in 2017.
