Spoiler alert: Unless you know how this reunion between a mother who gave up her baby and the grown man she’s now searching for is going to turn out, do not watch this clip. Philomena‘s based on a true story however, it’s not a story everyone knows, so it’s a bit surprising this clip is one that The Weinstein Company’s choosing to promote.

Starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, Philomena is opening in theaters on November 22, 2013.

The Plot: Based on the 2009 investigative book by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, Philomena focuses on the efforts of Philomena Lee (Dench), mother to a boy conceived out of wedlock – something her Irish-Catholic community didn’t have the highest opinion of – and given away for adoption in the United States. In following church doctrine, she was forced to sign a contract that wouldn’t allow for any sort of inquiry into the son’s whereabouts.

After starting a family years later in England and, for the most part, moving on with her life, Lee meets Sixsmith (Coogan), a BBC reporter with whom she decides to discover her long-lost son.

Christina Aguilera’s “We Remain” is featured in this brand new TV spot for the second film of The Hunger Games franchise, Catching Fire. Aguilera’s song is included on the soundtrack CD set to hit stores on November 19, 2013.

The second Hunger Games film stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark, and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy. Jack Quaid is Marvel, Taylor St. Clair is Ripper, Donald Sutherland is President Snow, Elizabeth Banks is Effie Trinket, and Lenny Kravitz plays Cinna.

The cast also features Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Nelson Ascencio as Flavius, Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen, and Paula Malcomson as Katniss’ mother.

Francis Lawrence directed, with Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt adapting Suzanne Collins’ book for the screen. Lawrence’s behind the scenes team includes director of photography Jo Willems, editor Alan Edward Bell, production designer Philip Messina, and costume designer Trish Summerville. James Newton Howard provided the film’s score.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens in theaters on November 22, 2013. The MPAA rated the film PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some frightening images, thematic elements, a suggestive situation and language.

The Plot:

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.

Selena Gomez will be following in the footsteps of Red Kettle Kick-Off celebrity halftime performers including Keith Urban, Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, and the Jonas Brothers when she takes center stage during the Dallas Cowboys vs Oakland Raiders Thanksgiving Day game’s halftime show. Gomez is also hosting her own Online Red Kettle campaign to raise money for the Salvation Army, encouraging her fans to donate at www.onlineredkettle.org/selenagomez. The eight top fundraisers will earn the chance to hangout with Selena virtually via a Google Hangout.
 
This year marks the 17th time the Cowboys have used their halftime show to kick off the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign. The 2012 campaign collected $148.7 million to help out families in need, including providing food and shelter as well as Christmas toys for kids.
 
“Dallas is my hometown, and to be invited to perform on behalf of The Salvation Army is such a great honor,” said Selena Gomez. “Giving back is so important, and I am looking forward to kicking off the iconic Red Kettle Campaign and getting those bells ringing across the nation to help families and children in need.”
 

 
“We are thrilled to have Selena kick off the Red Kettle Campaign and be a part of this time-honored tradition. Her amazing performance, a national stage and a huge, enthusiastic fan base will be a powerful start to Red Kettle 2013,” said Charlotte Jones Anderson, executive vice president and Chief Brand Officer for the Dallas Cowboys and national advisory chairperson for The Salvation Army. “The Salvation Army touches so many lives and provides nourishment, shelter and support for children and families in need. Together with Selena, we celebrate the important impact of The Salvation Army’s work in doing the most good.”

Doctor Who An Adventure in Space and Time

Coming to BBC America on November 22, 2013 is the story of how Doctor Who began 50 years ago in An Adventure in Space and Time starring David Bradley, Jessica Raine, and Brian Cox. The special will air at 9pm ET/PT.
 
“An Adventure in Space and Time is principally a human interest story you can enjoy even if you know nothing about Doctor Who,” says writer and executive producer, Mark Gatiss. “You’ll see the story of some amazing people who come together under extraordinary circumstances to create this wonderful thing that is still with us today.”
 
Directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad), written by Mark Gatiss, and executive produced by Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner, An Adventure in Space and Time asks and answers the question: “What do you get when you mix C.S. Lewis with H.G. Wells, and sprinkle in a bit of Father Christmas? An alien Time Lord exploring space and time in a Police Box spaceship called the ‘TARDIS’ (Time And Relative Dimension in Space).”
 
The Details:
 
Travel back to witness the genius that was the first Doctor, William Hartnell (David Bradley, Game of Thrones, Broadchurch) and the unlikely production team behind the series, Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine, Call the Midwife), Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan, After Earth) and Sydney Newman (Brian Cox, The Bourne Identity, X2: X-Men United). […]The stylish drama reveals the struggles and ultimate triumph of the British series created to “keep the sports fans and kids hooked.”
 
An unlikely trio of misfits set out to create a genre series that all ages would love. A 55-year-old actor conceivably at the end of a frustrating career, a former production assistant fighting to make her mark in television, and a foreign born, novice director were tasked with bringing a vision for an exciting new science fiction story to life. William ‘Bill’ Hartnell, displeased with his career, was presented with a chance to break out of the hard-man roles he’d become known for. And with the instincts of first time producer, Verity Lambert and first time director, Waris Hussein, The Doctor was born. As the success of the show grew, William went from unhappy curmudgeon to beloved television star who relished his career resurgence and found a new lease on life. But all good things come to an end. How will Bill face leaving behind the part that has made him a hero to millions of children? And can the show survive without him? Journey back fifty years through space and time to witness the exciting beginning and untimely end of the First Doctor in this touching drama.

However, on Monday, November 4th his rep told E News that Eminem wasn’t lip-syncing, but instead it was a case of doubling his vocals live.

“He only does it sporadically through the songs. They’re accent tracks,” offered the rapper’s rep.
