Rake star Greg Kinnear took on The Tonight Show‘s Jimmy Fallon in a shootout involving the tossing of random items into a basketball hoop. The shootout was held in honor of the NCAA Tournament, with the lineup of items tossed including a foot-long hotdog, a mannequin head that looked like Tom Cruise in Legend, a bowl of bouncy balls, a Shamrock Shake, and a rake.
Final score = 3 to 2…but you have to watch the video to see who scored three and who scored two.
The IMAX/Disney deal will involve these films:
Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 2014)
Maleficent (May 2014)

The Basic Plot of Season 4:
Encouraged by the Red Wedding slaughter in the Riverlands that wiped out many of their Stark nemeses, the Lannisters’ hold on the Iron Throne remains intact…but can they survive their own egos, as well as new and ongoing threats from the south, north and east? While an unbowed Stannis Baratheon continues to rebuild his army in Dragonstone, a more immediate danger comes from the south, as Oberyn Martell, the Lannister-loathing “Red Viper of Dorne,” arrives at King’s Landing to attend Joffrey’s wedding to Margaery Tyrell, and perhaps act on an ulterior agenda. In the north, a depleted Night’s Watch seems overmatched against the inexorable Wall advances of Mance Rayder’s army of wildlings, which in turn is being trailed by an even more formidable foe: the undead White Walkers. As if that weren’t enough, Daenerys Targaryen, accompanied by her menacing trio of dragons and army of Unsullied, is poised to liberate Meereen, the largest city in Slaver’s Bay, which could ultimately provide her with enough ships to sail to Westeros and reclaim the Iron Throne.

Bond 24 is now officially titled Come and Dive. Interesting name, isn’t it? What does it mean? The 30 second teaser trailer doesn’t give away anything other than the fact Bond, James Bond, visits a cemetery. And in fact it would be difficult for the trailer to reveal anything other than the title as filming hasn’t begun yet.
Daniel Craig returns to the lead role and Sam Mendes is back at the helm, and the plot is expected to involve a dangerous love story, a mysterious stranger, and long forgotten secrets.
Come and Dive will open in theaters on November 6, 2015.
UPDATE: The trailer and the title were determined to be fakes and the teaser was pulled from Youtube.

The last time Crystal was attached as a regular on a TV series was way, way back in 1981 when he was part of the cast of the ABC comedy, Soap. Filming’s expected to take place this year on season one’s 13 episodes, and audiences can expect to see The Comedians added to FX’s lineup next year.
FX has ordered 13 episodes of the comedy series The Comedians, starring Billy Crystal and Josh Gad, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions.
Nick Grad, President of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions, said, “We’re incredibly excited about The Comedians and the fact that Billy Crystal will be making his return to series television on FX. The chemistry between Billy and Josh is amazing, and Larry, Matt, Ben and Billy did a fantastic job of making what is certain to become one of the best comedies on TV.”
“If comedy is timing, we were wildly fortunate to land this material at a time when two true comedy superstars were open to doing a series. With the combination of Billy and Josh, and the comic writing/directing gifts of Larry, Ben and Matt, all we needed to do was to get out of their way,” added Fox Television Studios President David Madden.
The Plot:
In The Comedians, Crystal plays a superstar veteran comedian who is reluctantly paired with Josh Gad (Frozen, The Book of Mormon), an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide. Rounding out the cast are series regulars Stephanie Weir, Matt Oberg and Megan Ferguson.

If you haven’t purchased your tickets to the 2014 CMA Music Festival Nightly Concert series, unfortunately you’re out of luck. The nightly concerts running June 5 through June 8th at LP Field have sold out.
“CMA Music Festival is proud to have these fantastic artists perform on the LP Field stage,” said CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “The fact that tickets sold out for the Nightly Concerts at a record-setting pace speaks to what Country Music Fans have come to expect from CMA Music Festival and we feel strongly that this line up delivers on that promise.”
“Since LP Field was already sold out before we announced a single artist, we had an opportunity to create a fun and engaging way to get our social media audience buzzing about the lineup,” said CMA Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships Damon Whiteside, commenting on the social media campaign that led up to the announcement of the nightly line-ups. “The #CMAFestGuess clues drummed up excitement about the Festival, and our artist community really supported the effort, sharing and retweeting the clues to their followers to keep the conversation going.”
For those who won’t be able to attend the concerts, you’ll still be able to catch the performances during the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock special that will air on ABC.

Hello,
I have reason to believe you have encountered THE SIGNAL. Please review the information below for more details regarding your condition.
I must warn you – some of the information you are about to access might be a bit disturbing.”
The link was safe and actually the email was a smart move as it piqued my interest more so than the standard, “Here’s a trailer…blah, blah, blah…” And, fortunately, The Signal‘s trailer is worthy of checking out.
Co-written and directed by Willam Eubank, the sci-fi film stars Brenton Thwaites, Olivia Cooke, Beau Knapp, Laurence Fishburne, Lin Shaye, Robert Longstreet, and Jeffrey Grover. Focus Features is releasing The Signal in theaters on June 13, 2014.
The Plot:
Three college students on a road trip across the Southwest experience a detour: the tracking of a computer genius who has already hacked into MIT and exposed security faults. The trio find themselves drawn to an eerily isolated area. Suddenly everything goes dark. When one of the students, Nic (Brenton Thwaites of The Giver and Maleficent), regains consciousness, he is in a waking nightmare…

Grimm didn’t meet the Reaper this year as NBC has renewed the dramatic fairy tale-inspired series for its fourth season. Also earning renewals for the 2014-2015 season are Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., joining the already renewed Parks and Recreation, The Blacklist, Celebrity Apprentice, and The Voice.
Chicago P.D. is returning for season two while Chicago Fire is returning for season three.
The network also announced viewership is up 20% year-over-year.
Details on the Newly Renewed Shows:
Chicago Fire ranks #1 in the Tuesday 10 p.m. ET/PT slot among the broadcast networks so far this season in adults 18-49, averaging a 3.1 rating, 9 share in 18-49 and 10.6 million viewers overall in “most current” averages from Nielsen Media Research through the first 25 weeks of the season. Chicago Fire is generating gains versus one year ago of 35% in 18-49 rating and 33% in total viewers.
With its move from Wednesday nights last season to Tuesday nights this season, Chicago Fire has improved the Tuesday 10 p.m. hour versus NBC’s regular-program averages in the slot one year ago by 24% in adults 18-49 (to a 3.1 rating from a 2.4).
Chicago Fire will head into its third season next year and Chicago P.D. will go into its second with executive producers Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Danielle Gelber, Michael Brandt, Derek Haas, Peter Jankowski, Joe Chappelle (Chicago Fire only), and Mark Tinker (Chicago P.D. only). Both series are produced by Universal Television and Wolf Films and shot in Chicago.
Jesse Spencer and Taylor Kinney star as heroic Windy City firefighters who lay themselves on the line in dealing with everyday situations involving life or death. The show also stars Monica Raymund, Lauren German, Charlie Barnett, David Eigenberg, Yuri Sardarov, Joe Minoso, Christian Stolte, and Eamonn Walker.
Chicago Fire has been nominated for a People’s Choice Award and is the winner of a Prism Award and Imagen Foundation Award.
Chicago P.D. is delivering a 2.5 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 8.9 million viewers overall so far this season in “most current” averages from Nielsen. Chicago P.D. is retaining 94% of its 18-49 lead-in from Law & Order: SVU and 97% of its total-viewer lead-in in “live plus same day” results to date. In its first nine weeks on the schedule, Chicago P.D. has generated NBC’s nine best 18-49 results in the time period, excluding Olympics and Saturday Night Live specials, since Sept. 25, 2013.
Freshman series Chicago P.D. follows the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head-to-head with the city’s street crimes and the Intelligence Unit that combats the city’s major offenses, including organized crime, drug trafficking, and high-profile murders.
The series stars Jason Beghe, Sophia Bush, Patrick John Flueger, LaRoyce Hawkins, Archie Kao, Jon Seda, Elias Koteas, Jesse Lee Soffer, and Marina Squerciati.
With the renewal, Grimm – the popular Friday night series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales – will now head into its fourth season. Grimm is the #1 Friday series on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox so far this season in adults 18-49, averaging a 2.5 rating, 8 share in adults 18-49 in “most current” averages from Nielsen Media Research. This is a 4% gain versus the show’s rating at this point in the season last year, while Grimm‘s average of 8.1 million viewers overall is up versus one year ago by 17%.
David Giuntoli stars as Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt, who discovers he’s descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as Grimms. He increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.
The series was created by David Greenwalt & Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter. Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner, and Norberto Barba serve as executive producers along with Greenwalt and Kouf.
The series also stars Bitsie Tulloch, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz, and Claire Coffee.
