During this week’s episode of “Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi”, a new iHeartMedia podcast hosted by celebrity restaurateur Bruce Bozzi, Hudson chats about her upcoming album — her most honest and vulnerable project yet.
“Earlier on in my career, I thought I would definitely [pursue] music, but then ‘Almost Famous’ happened,” the 43-year-old told Bozzi of why her musical career was put on hold.

Holler If Ya Hear Me, the Broadway musical based on the music of late rap legend Tupac Shakur, begins previews next week. The show reinterprets a handful of Tupac’s biggest songs, from the sweetly confessional “Dear Mama” to the rousing player’s anthem “I Get Around.” The cast, a healthy mix of Broadway vets and newcomers, have recorded the show’s nearly two dozen songs, and EW is pleased to premiere three of those songs.
It’s a difficult tightrope to walk, but the cast — including lead actor and spoken word performer Saul Williams — manage to make the tracks...

Tupac Shakur was an exceptional rapper, writer, actor, and incendiary public figure who was cut down in his prime in 1996. But his work lives on, and his legacy will be getting its boldest treatment yet when Holler If Ya Hear Me opens on Broadway.
Directed by current Tony nominee Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun) and starring veteran spoken-word artist and rapper Saul Williams, Holler If Ya Hear Me is not a biographical tale about the late Shakur. Instead, his songs build an entirely new narrative based on the themes of family, opportunity, community, poverty, and love that ran through Tupac’s lyrics.

When Donna Summer passed away a year and a half ago (heaven knows, it’s not the way it should be), it was like a dagger in the heart for many of us who grew up listening to her music. The undisputed Queen Of Disco, she would make a successful transition out of the 70′s, and continue to churn out hits for years afterward.
Donna became “Born Again” in the early 80′s, and it would radically alter her career, as well as her relationship with the gay community. For 30 years, until her death, she was dogged by the rumor that she made a comment about AIDS being God’s punishment, and even though she vehemently denied it, It continued to persist.
It’s sad that an unprovable piece of gossip could tarnish her reputation for decades, but on this, her 65th birthday, we can take a look back at the legacy she left behind.

Miley has shocked, awed, and twerked — but her parents have been right there supporting her decisions the entire way. Of course her parents love her unconditionally, but Miley revealed that their support applies every aspect of her life and career — no matter what she does.
Miley Cyrus took to the Today show in New York City on Oct. 7 to perform — but not without crediting her loving parents for being there for her as she comes of age.

Steve Irwin's daughter, Bindi, was the latest celebrity victim of an online death hoax. This time, however, it wasn't some made-up, macabre story of a ski accident in Switzerland, but rather a rumor spawned from a jumbled Internet search term.
E! News referred to the snafu as the "perfect search storm." Social News Daily boiled it down to a "trends hiccup."
It all started Friday when word that Irwin's daughter had died began to spread on Twitter and became a popular term on various search engines, according to E! News. Hoax sleuths were able to link it all back to a glitch in Internet searches relating to the term "Steve Irwin daughter."
Bindi has been making headlines for her new movie "Return to Nim’s Island," which premiered in March and was released on DVD May 21. As people searched for information on Irwin's daughter, search engines matched up the...

In 1994 Australian director P.J. Hogan and an audacious Aussie ingénue named Toni Collette broke onto the scene with the wild comedy Muriel's Wedding. Since then, Collette has become an international star, recognized for her comedic timing and depth in drama. Hogan's trajectory has been less universally praised, and more hit and miss. After helming the contemporary comedy classic My Best Friend's Wedding, he directed a string of lesser-known features, including the underrated Unconditional Love, the underseen Peter Pan, and the underwhelming Confessions of a Shopaholic. But after close to twenty years, Hogan and Collette have once again joined forces. This time for a crazy comedy called Mental. Check out its poster below, thanks to The Playlist: Written and directed by Hogan, Mental centers on the Moochmoores, a family of seven, made up of a philandering father (Anthony Lapaglia), a mom on the brink of meltdown, and a pack ...

Back in May, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, into the world. And months after their birth, the happy parents sat down with Barbara Walters on Friday for a "20/20" special, where they debuted their bundles of joy.
Nicknamed "Dem Babies," the twins were born via C-section on the couple's three-year wedding anniversary as Carey's track "Fantasy" played. However, the pregnancy itself wasn't much of a fantasy for the superstar. "I don't think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body," she told Walters. "Carrying two babies. Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through, because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me.

One of the questions raised by our story yesterday--How Neuromarketers Tapped the Vote Button in Your Brain to Help the Gop Win the House--is how, exactly, neuromarketing works. Darryl Howard, the founder of Attractor Pattern Research and a consultant for two Republican winners in this week's elections, agreed to share specific examples of his work, which you'll see below.
But what is neuromarketing? You've probably had the experience of watching an ad and unexpectedly getting choked up -- or, in the case of campaign ads, feeling the sudden need to take a shower. Neuromarketers measure the way your brain and body responds to these messages, then reverse-engineers the effect into another message.
But even experts and consultants in the field differ about what qualifies as neuromarketing. Some believe that the term only applies to tests done while subjects are wired up to Mri or Eeg machines while a scientist studies the resulting brain activity.

Back in August, we reported Maggie Gyllenhaal, who fearlessly tackled sexual taboos in The Secretary, would be taking on new ground with Hysteria, a romantic comedy centered on the strange but true circumstances that surrounded the invention of the vibrator.
We knew then the offbeat comedy, directed by Tanya Wexler, would star Jonathan Pryce as a doctor who aims to invent a way to cure “female hysteria” and creates the world’s first vibrator. Gyllenhaal will play his daughter, and Hugh Dancy and Rupert Everett will co-star. So even in August, the cast had a solid comedic base.
Now Cinema Blend has revealed the list of ladies joining the ranks of the hysterical cast: Ashley Jensen (Extras), British TV star Sheridan Smith (Gavin & Stacey), Gemma Jones (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger), Felicity Jones (The Tempest), and Anna Chancellor (St. Trinian’s).

Dear John: "After an interminable five weeks of studio movies, Dear John was a most unexpected surprise: It was a film. I would stop far short of calling it a good film, but it had the elements of one: It had actual performances, instead of line readings mixed with funny and/or serious faces; it had a story, instead of a high concept; and it had a director. An honest to God director." - Dustin Rowles

Shaz was hilarious, outrageous, dangerous, courageous, inspiring, heartbreaking and totally, totally mad. And she changed my life.”
