Well, looks like some kind of apocalypse is here in the latest look at the forthcoming Hellboy film starring Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Set to a cover of Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” the trailer offers up a pretty hectic look at the Dark Horse Comics-based film, with more than a few monsters for our pal to take care of.  Plus, there’s some kind of sexy blood shower, who knows? Directed by Neil Marshall and starring Harbour, Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Penelope Mitchell, and Daniel Dae Kim, the film sees our main dude Hellboy attempting to thwart a powerful fifth century sorceress (Jovovich) with plans to y’know, destroy humankind. Classic. Hellboy lands in cinemas on Apr. 12, 2019. Meanwhile, here’s the first trailer. Read More from Viral Report Now https://ift.tt/2NEjEQI

Was John Mulaney’s neighbor arrested by the FBI for cannibalism? Did Pete Davidson go to Jamaica with Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels over New Year’s? See if you can guess what’s real and made-up, as the two comedians joined Jimmy Fallon for a game of “True Confessions” on The Tonight Show Thursday night.  The game works by each person revealing a random story, to which the others must guess whether it’s true or fake. But first, they must interrogate each other, and with these three, of course it’s hilarious. Read More from Viral Report Now https://ift.tt/2tIy0Go

The JoBros are back with a little help from their favorite lovebugs. The reunited band of brothers — Nick Jonas , 26,  Joe Jonas , 29, and  Kevin Jonas , 31 — released “Sucker,” their first new track in nearly six years, at midnight Friday. The track was accompanied by a music video featuring Kevin ,  Joe , and  Nick ‘s respective love interests: Danielle Jonas ,  Priyanka Chopra , and  Sophie Turner. In the tune, which celebrates their individual relationships, the brothers sing, “I’m a sucker for you/Say the word and I’d go anywhere blindly.” The video, meanwhile, features the bandmates and their lady friends exploring an Alice in Wonderland- inspired castle landscape dressed in elaborate costumes. On Thursday, Joe Jonas sent Jonas Brothers’ diehard fans into a tizzy with a tweet confirming new music from the band is on the way. Six years after they originally split, the brothers are making their long-time rumored reunion official. Joe’s tweet included a link the boys’ new si

In this episode of Head to Head , Mehdi Hasan challenges Gowher Rizvi, the adviser to the prime minister of Bangladesh on  international affairs , on the state of the country’s democracy and whether it is heading towards authoritarianism. Once one of the poorest countries in the region, Bangladesh’s economy has been booming over the last decade, with economic growth faster than its neighbours India and Pakistan. It also boasts lower infant mortality and longer life expectancy than its peers. Just because a party has been elected three times, it is not a one-party state. Gowher Rizvi However, human rights groups warn that the country is becoming increasingly autocratic, accusing the government of clamping down on any form of dissent and hounding and locking up its political rivals. In recent general  elections, Bangladesh’s ruling party, the Awami League, reasserted its power following a landslide victory. The opposition rejected the results amid violence which saw 17 ki

CLOSE White House Senior Adviser and son-in-law to the president, Jared Kushner has been given permanent security clearance to the white House. Veuer’s Sam Berman has the full story. Buzz60 WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump personally ordered his former chief of staff John Kelly to grant a top-secret security clearance to his son-in-law Jared Kushner despite concerns from officials, according to media reports.  The New York Times and Washington Post reported Thursday that Kelly documented Trump’s request in a memo. Both outlets cited unnamed sources. USA TODAY has not verified the claims and White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said “we don’t comment on security clearances.” Trump’s directive reportedly took place last year amid concerns from White House officials about Kushner’s clearance level. The reports starkly contradict comments the president has made, in which Trump declared he had nothing to do with Kushner’s clearance.  The Times reported that for

WARNING: TRAILER CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE Are you ready for the apocalypse? David Harbour certainly is. The Stranger Things actor stars in the new Hellboy movie as the demon hero who’s made a home on Earth and now strives to protect it from monsters like himself. As seen in the newest, R-rated trailer for the film above, there’s a lot to protect it from! As Harbour told EW when the first trailer dropped back in December, the movie’s main question is whether Hellboy belongs more with his demonic brethren or with the humans who raised him. The former faction is represented by Nimue the Blood Queen (Milla Jovovich), who Hellboy senses a strange kind of kinship with. The latter is represented by Hellboy’s human adoptive father, Trevor Bruttenholm (Ian McShane) and the BPRD organization he leads. In case any viewers want to catch up on Hellboy comics before the movie lands in April, Dark Horse just published comprehensive new omnibus editions . One of them in particular, Hellbo

Ed Sheeran ‘s done it. So has Shawn Mendes , Metallica , and the Backstreet Boys . Now, Jimmy Fallon’s handed the banana shakers to Weezer. For one of The Tonight Show ‘s most beloved recurring segments, Weezer joined Fallon and The Roots to perform a cover of A-ha’s classic “Take on Me” using classroom instruments.  We’re talking mini tambourines, wood blocks, kazoos — the works, all with that iconic animated overlay from A-ha’s music video. And huge respect for frontman Rivers Cuomo in particular, who hits those impossible high notes. It’s not the only fun performance we’ve seen from Weezer this week, with the group joining Fallon’s barbershop quartet, The Ragtime Gals, for a rendition of their own classic track, “Buddy Holly.” Read More from Viral Report Now https://ift.tt/2EomPaP

Here we are, the How to Get Away With Murder season finale — finding ourselves very much in the same place we’ve been finding ourselves for about two years now — in a mess of Jorge Castillo’s making. Last week, we learned that the slimy lawyer who met with Nate Lahey, Sr. in prison was not, in fact, Emmett Crawford, but Laurel’s brother — Javier Castillo, who is basically Jorge 2.0. We see a flashback of this meeting where Javier tries to convince Nate Sr. they can get him a better trial date, but Nate sees through him and tells him to get his ass out that door. God, I miss this man. Laurel sees the footage and is convinced her father is orchestrating this all from prison. But Annalise turns on Laurel, telling her that Nate’s father and Wes are both dead because of her. Annalise fires shots at Frank too, blaming Laurel’s internship on his penis. And she’s not wrong. They’re all living in hell now and she’s tired of it. Something tells me Annalise’s personal hell won’t end until thi

Guys, we made it! It’s the A Million Little Things first season finale and all the mysteries are about to be answered. So let’s get right into it, eh? We kick things off with Maggie moving into Gary’s place. The plan is Eddie will move into her old apartment to make room. (I’m telling you, Eddie has the best deal; her place is sweet.) Maggie is reluctant to unpack or build any furniture until she gets the all clear from her doctor. Gary’s is optimistic and, thankfully(!!), he has good reason to be. When they get to the doctor’s office later, he tells them Maggie is in remission! Woo! Maggie laughs uncontrollably as Gary cries, but later at home, she really lets the news sink in as she unpacks her boxes at Gary’s place. She never thought she’d survive this time. Before all this, the gang gathers at Delilah’s place. The Dixon family has been packing up Jon’s belongings and decided to give certain items out to the group. Gary gets his old Harvard shirt; Gina gets Jon’s first real es

Behold, the many A-listers who have graced Tyler Perry’s movies with their presence. The director, producer, writer, and actor may be best known in pop culture for his  Madea  franchise (the latest of which, A Madea Family Funeral , hits theaters March 1), but it would be prudent not to leave out his hits that don’t center around the sassy granny.  Up first: the inimitable Thandie Newton. In 2010 she joined the powerhouse ensemble cast of  For Colored Girls , which was based on the haunting stage play (and poem). In 2012 Newton starred opposite Perry in  Good Deeds  — he was the rich businessman whose life was decided for him, she was a cleaning woman in his building, and no, it was nothing like  Maid in Manhattan .

Fresh off a barbershop quartet rendition of their song “Buddy Holly,” Weezer are already returning to  The Tonight Show to put a new spin on another tune. But now, frontman Rivers Cuomo looks less like Buddy Holly and a lot more like Morten Harket. In an exclusive preview of the latest “Classroom Instruments” segment (a classic Jimmy Fallon bit), the  Tonight Show host and the Roots join Weezer (Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell, bassist Scott Shriner, and drummer Patrick Wilson) for a performance of A-Ha’s iconic hit “Take On Me.” Cuomo handles lead vocals, meaning he gets to take on the song’s notorious high note. (You know, the one you always try to hit when you’re alone in your car and this song comes on the radio…) Befitting the material, everyone’s decked out in painfully ’80s regalia. The segment also spoofs the famous music video for the song, flitting between live action and the sketchy, hand-drawn look of the music video. It’s enough to take you back to 1984… or it would be

Fortnite players have discovered a new addition to the game with the launch of Season 8 Thursday: Weezer World. If you’re a big Weezer fan and are excited to hear their upcoming self-titled album, known as The Black Album , you may want to check out this island because it’s playing songs that aren’t available publicly yet.

The past becomes an eerie prophecy for the present in German director Christian Petzold’s haunting new existentialist thriller, Transit . Based on a 1944 novel by Anna Seghers that chronicled the harrowing purgatory of being stateless and dispossessed during wartime, Petzold’s mysterious waking nightmare of a film telegraphs its parallels to the current global refugee crisis by shifting the film’s setting to now — or at least a time that looks and feels like a funhouse-mirror version of now. The movie opens in France, where the wail of police sirens is a constant background drone and civilians are routinely rounded up by heavily armed police officers. We’re told, through fearful, whispered conversations, that “the fascists” are rolling in and anyone without the proper transit papers will be shipped off to camps, or worse. One of these doomed souls on the run is Georg (Franz Rogowski) — an everyman straight out of a Kafka story who speaks in lisping German and has the face of a bruis

André Previn, the renowned conductor and composer who won Oscars for his work scoring films, has died. He was 89. Previn died on Thursday at his home in New York City, according to the  New York Times.  He was a musical legend, known for his gigs conducting London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic amongst several others.

One of the activities that makes living in cold environments actually worth it is ice skating.  In Prince George, Canada the weather conditions just the right weather conditions turned the into a perfect skating rink after the plow cleared off the snow. So that can only mean one thing: street skating.  These skaters took no time at all strapping on their skates and making the most of an otherwise slippery situation.  Read More from Viral Report Now https://ift.tt/2tFRBHp

February is the shortest month, but that doesn’t mean there’s any less abundance of new romance titles to enjoy. This month’s crop of titles takes readers on a series of adventures from the furthest reaches of space to the Confederate South to Victorian England. Whether looking ahead to a futuristic setting or to the past or situating a story in the present day, romance interrogates issues of gender, romance, equality, and justice against the always potent backdrop of a love story. There is always a barrier to the ultimate happily-ever-after and this month, trauma rears its head as a potent factor — whether it’s systemic and physical or an unhealed emotional wound, these releases explore the need to heal as part of finding a happy ending. With this in mind, February’s titles offer up some great examples of the genre’s ability to deliver provocative social and cultural commentary no matter when or where the story takes place.

After fans spent two months watching queens pulling lipsticks on RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars 4 , the season 11 girls are ready to pull various gags from another place when the Emmy-winning reality competition series returns. “I think our season is going to be incredible because we are incredible,” new competitor Silky Nutmeg Ganache tells EW in earnest before joking: “You’re going to see girls who really pull things out they ass, on a budget!” All joking aside, all 15 season 11 ladies take seriously the responsibility of representing the queer community on a mainstream television show. “We’re the culture where everyone gets to pick and take what they like — take our cute sayings, take our cute little fashion trends — and then wipe us out of the picture,” contestant Yvie Oddly says. “With 15 queens, and so many of us being [people of color], girl, I dare someone to try and erase the impact we’re about to make!” “I can’t imagine myself growing and seeing a drag queen on TV that

London, United Kingdom – In an industrial park in north London, artisans from Poland, Italy, England, Mauritius, and elsewhere painstakingly stitch mattresses for Savoir Beds, a British luxury brand. Like the craftsmen and women, most of the materials are from the European Union or from around the world via Europe: plywood from Latvia, wool from Spain, horsetail from South America via Switzerland. Savoir Beds only makes about 900 mattresses a year, with customers willing to pay an average of £14,000 ($18,300) – and up to £150,000 ($197,000) – for their custom-made products. To avoid disrupting the supply chain of materials because of border delays, should there be a no-deal Brexit , the manufacturer has stockpiled £250,000 ($328,400) worth of the materials it needs to ensure production doesn’t grind to a halt. It is feared that should the UK quit the EU without a deal, or without an agreement that is useful for small businesses, there would be additional red tape and transport r
