Maroon 5 released their new album Overexposed on June 26th and along with it they’ve unveiled the music video for the single “One More Night.” The video for the second single off the album was directed by Peter Berg (Battleship) and finds Adam Levine playing a new dad married to Minka Kelly who earns his living in the boxing ring.
Unfortunately, the video doesn’t have a happy ending. Fortunately for Adam Levine fans, it is just a video.
The Plot:
From the producer of Wedding Crashers – written and co-directed by and starring comic talent Dax Shepard, Hit and Run is the story of Charlie Bronson (Shepard), a nice guy with a questionable past who risks everything when he busts out of the witness protection program to deliver his fiancé to Los Angeles to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their road trip grows awkwardly complicated, when they are chased by the feds … and increasingly dangerous, when Charlie’s former pals, a band of gangsters, enter the fray.
The cast also includes Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper, Kristin Chenoweth, and Tom Arnold.

Browncoats, mark your calendar now. SCIENCE is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Firefly (the cancelled way too soon sci-fi Western series) by bringing series creator Joss Whedon and cast members Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, and Michael Fairman to Comic-Con for a Firefly panel on Friday, July 13, at 12:30pm PT.

DanceOn and Summit Entertainment unveiled this behind the scenes video titled “Meet the Mob” from Step Up Revolution. The video provides a look at the choreography and the camaraderie on the set of the fourth Step Up movie which hits theaters on July 27th.
The Plot:
In the film, Emily (Kathryn McCormick) arrives in Miami with aspirations of becoming a professional dancer and soon falls in love with Sean (Ryan Guzman), a young man who leads a dance crew in elaborate, cutting-edge flash mobs, called “The Mob.” When a wealthy business man threatens to develop The Mob’s historic neighborhood and displace thousands of people, Emily must band together with Sean and The Mob to turn their performance art into protest art, and risk losing their dreams to fight for a greater cause.
Which, depending on how much you really like to know about a film before you pay to see it, may not be a good thing. As Looper writer/director Rian Johnson advises on Twitter:
“If you’re already set on seeing Looper, I’d avoid any trailers from here on out. They don’t ruin the movie, but they tip a few little things” – Rian Johnson (@rcjohnso)
Followed by:
“Just to clarify – I approved all the trailers, they’re great and they won’t ruin anything big. But the small things they tip are fun too” – Rian Johnson (@rcjohnso)
The Plot:
In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination.

How can they stay true to themselves – maintaining their individuality and compassion – along the way? This year, the rookies of 15 Division are going to have to learn to be careful what they wish for – and they are going to learn it the hard way.

Matchmaker Amber Kelleher-Andrews, relationship author Tracy McMillan, and professional dating coach Matthew Hussey will be bringing their expertise to the dating series, Ready for Love, on NBC. The network will be premiering the new series during the Winter 2012-2013 season.
Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) executive produces the series, with Giuliana and Bill Rancic on board as hosts.
Announcing the involvement of Kelleher-Andrews, McMillan, and Hussey, Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programming, NBC Entertainment stated, “These are three of the best relationship experts in the world, each coming to the show with their own unique approaches to matchmaking and fostering healthy, long-lasting relationships. The chances of the men finding true love are infinitely better because the matchmakers hand-selected women they feel will be most compatible with each of the guys.”
The Details:
Ready for Love “will give three successful and handsome men – Ben Patton, an international financier from Dallas; Tim Lopez, a member of the popular music group Plain White T’s from Santa Barbara, Calif., and Ernesto Arguello, an entrepreneur with a social vision from Miami – the chance to find their soul mate. The three relationship experts will bring their individual styles and experiences to help the girls and guys find their perfect match.
The series begins with the matchmakers’ nationwide search for the potential perfect mate for each man. The three matchmakers will each select their team of 12 girls, four per guy. To be selected as part of a matchmaker’s group, the women will have to convince one of the three matchmakers that they’re a true fit and feel a real connection with one of the men. Once selected, the girls will live in three different houses where they will receive personalized advice and mentoring.
At the end of each week, everyone will convene on a state-of-the-art stage in front of a live audience to watch the dates and receive feedback from the matchmakers. The women who fail to make a connection with the men will be sent home. In an intense finale, the quest for love culminates when the three men choose their final three women, who together must decide if they’ll get engaged, married, or simply live happily ever after. No matter what happens — they will all discover if they are really ‘Ready for Love.'”
