Linkin Park just announced earlier this week that the band has re-formed with new lead singer Emily Armstrong. She took to social media Friday to apologize for supporting “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson during his rape trial. Armstrong, also known as part of the band Dead Sara, expressed her regret via an Instagram story. She explained, “I always try to see the good in people, and I misjudged him.”
Armstrong’s post read in full, “Hi, I’m Emily. I’m new to so many of you, and I wanted to clear the air about something that happened a while back.”
“Several years ago, I was asked to support someone I considered a friend at a court appearance, and went to one early hearing as an observer. Soon after, I realized I shouldn’t have. I always try to see the good in people, and I misjudged him. I...

John Travolta’s daughter Ella Bleu Travolta paid tribute to her late mother Kelly Preston with a touching new song, “Little Bird.”
In the ballad, Ella sings about the weight of grief, wishing she could hear mom say, “My little bird, don’t you cry, hear my lullaby it’ll be alright.” The visuals accompanying the song feature a compilation of home videos giving a glimpse at the Travolta family’s joyful moments, including birthdays, plane rides, trips to Times Square’s since-shuttered Toys R Us and swims in their pool.
A day before releasing the track, Ella wrote on Instagram, “‘Little Bird’ is about a beautiful time in my life. I spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted this song to be, only for it to be written over night. This song is about the celebration of life.”

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s turbulent relationship went from swift romance to a devastating divorce, and it’s worth noting that the church of Scientology was very much involved.

Holmes and Cruise have a notable 16-year age gap, but that didn’t stop them from falling in love with each other since the first day they met in the spring of 2005. After the actor’s divorce from Nicole Kidman, the church of Scientology went on a mission to find him a new wife.

Bruce Campbell has played supporting roles in so many films and TV shows, he once wrote a fictionalized autobiography -- "Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way" -- about how his biggest possible break would be playing a sage-like doorman in a high-profile Hollywood drama starring Richard Gere and Renée Zellweger. In the fake Hollywood movie, Campbell would be the character to dole out advice to the lead characters and get their lives on track. It's telling that Campbell, even in a fictional version of Hollywood, didn't cast himself as the leading man.
Of course, Campbell has rarely been romantic about acting. He takes his craft seriously, but sees it more as a blue-collar profession than a heady art that requires years of study. Given that Campbell started his career getting splashed with fake blood in a series of zero-budget monster movies, this attitude is understandable. The ironic twist in "Make Love!

There are a lot of celebrities who are members of the Church of Scientology. However, there is one celebrity who was invited to join but ended up being asked to leave the day he showed up. In a recent podcast appearance, John Stamos explained how he was invited to learn more about the church and why they asked him to leave.
Here is why the Church of Scientology decided they didn’t want John Stamos to join their group.
John Stamos Was Too ‘Annoying’ For Church Of Scientology
John Stamos was on the Friends in High Places podcast, talking to Matt Friend about an event that happened when he was 17. Stamos said that he was asked to join the Church of Scientology. He was lured in because a hot girl invited him, and his acting idol, John Travolta, joined in 1975.

When the live-action adaptation of ‘The Cat in the Hat’ premiered in November 2003, it primarily targeted late Millennials and early Gen Z viewers. As a young audience, they were mostly oblivious to the film’s many adult jokes. Instead, they delighted in the memorable musical numbers, the vibrant color palette of every scene, and the playful comedy. Now, 21 years later, that same audience has grown up and often remembers the movie as either a comical fever dream or a childhood nightmare. From the many reviews I've read about this movie, it's clear that it didn't live up to many people's expectations upon release. Movie critics hoped for something that truly depicted the book—something more wholesome, rather than an oversized cat making adult jokes every few minutes. One critic remarked, “The Cat in the Hat comes scarily close to being the most unendurable Hollywood creation of the last dozen years.

Well, Charlie Sheen’s love life mirrors exactly that—a thrilling, unpredictable adventure with twists & turns that defy the odds.

Known for his remarkable performances in films like Grease and Pulp Fiction, John Travolta is reportedly looking for love again, nearly four years after his wife Kelly Preston passed away. The couple initially met in 1989 during the screen test for The Experts and instantly fell in love. The actor proposed to Preston in 1991 and they got married later the same year.

Considering the Walt Disney Company owns, well, everything these days, calling one of their films "underrated" seems a little silly. And yet, if you ask me, "Sky High" is undoubtedly the leader of the underrated live-action Disney roster. Just before Disney became the parent company of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the studio put out a family-friendly coming-of-age superhero comedy that, as /Film's Rafael Motamayor once described, "poked fun at expanded universes, superhero legacies, and every trope in the book." The story centered on teenager Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano), the son of famed superheroes Steve Stronghold/The Commander (Kurt Russell) and Josie DeMarco-Stronghold/Jetstream (Kelly Preston). He's poised to be the next great hero after he starts training at Sky High — a super-secret floating school for superheroes and sidekicks — but Will doesn't have any powers.

Disney is a huge conglomerate with stakes in every genre of films and shows. The House of Mouse has established itself in genres such as sci-fi with Star Wars, animation with Pixar and Disney Animation, and the superhero genre with Marvel. The company also acquired Fox Studios, thus owning the Avatar franchise as well.
While Disney has been the parent company of these studios, they largely operate on their own. Hence, when Kung Fu Panda 4 director Mike Mitchell was asked if his Kurt Russell starring superhero film Sky High would get a sequel, he mentioned that it would make more sense for Marvel to take over and develop the film as Disney wanted Marvel to be in charge of superheroes.

Tracy Tormé, the vision behind Sliders and an early writer on Star Trek: The Next Generation, has passed away at the age of 64 from complications from diabetes.
Tracy Tormé’s work and contributions within the sci-fi genre made him famous to fans. As per his sister (via The Hollywood Reporter), he “always interested in UFOs — the serious side of UFOs — and in the Air Force pilots who had seen them.” While he only wrote for two seasons on The Next Generation – also serving as story editor – his touch undoubtedly gave the series the thrust it needed to set the tone for the remainder of the series. The greatest success of his career, however, may be Sliders, which he co-created with Robert K. Weiss. Such a following it had developed, when Fox canceled it after three seasons, Sci Fi picked it up for its remaining two. In total, Sliders had 88 episodes...

Actor John Travolta returned to television decades after his breakout role in the TV sitcom Welcome Back Kotter. But his decision to revisit the small screen was heavily inspired by a conversation he had with two moguls in the entertainment industry.
John Travolta wrestled with being on this hit Ryan Murphy show John Travolta | Jason Laveris/FilmMagic
Travolta was cast in Ryan Murphy’s hit FX television series People vs. O.J. Simpson. The American Crime story was a dramatic retelling of the O.J. Simpson trial with Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jr. as the titular figure. Travolta would portray American attorney Robert Shapiro in the mini-series.
The series’ creator Ryan Murphy wanted to use inspired casting for his show, which landed him Travolta. The pair would eventually meet to discuss the show.
“I was trying to do the unexpected piece of casting,” Murphy recalled in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Quentin Tarantino has helmed many popular movies over the past three decades, but his 1994 crime drama Pulp Fiction is possibly the most beloved. The film not only put Tarantino on the map as Hollywood’s newest hitmaker, but it also revived John Travolta’s career, proving that he could headline a major movie, even after a lengthy gap in his resume.
There are a number of memorable scenes in Pulp Fiction, but the dance sequence between Travolta’s Vincent Vega and Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace is the most iconic. Interestingly enough, Tarantino was inspired by a Disney animated classic when coming up with the concept for the sequence.
‘Pulp Fiction’ became a major critical and commercial success
Tarantino was new on the scene when he wrote and directed Pulp Fiction. While his first movie, Reservoir Dogs, was critically praised, Pulp Fiction made him a star.

Over the course of a film career that stretches back 50 years, Charles Band has produced nearly 400 projects and directed several dozen – and in his memoir Confessions of a Puppetmaster (pick up a copy Here), he says that one of the movies fans mention to him the most is the 1983 sci-fi film Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn… which happens to have fun connections to both Jaws 3-D and the sitcom Night Court.
Directed by Band from a screenplay by Alan J. Adler, Metalstorm has the following synopsis: On a desert planet, warlord Jared-Syn is trying to convince a tribe of mutants that he’s their messiah and gain unlimited power hidden in a crystal. Ranger Dogen and explorer Dhyana, who’s father was murdered by Syn, must stop him.
Band and Adler also produced the movie with Band’s father Albert Band.

I love Arnold Schwarzenegger. I’ve seen every movie he’s done. Read his book. Follow his newsletter (which I totally recommend if you’re looking for a bit of healthy positivity in your day). Can spell his last name without Googling it. I grew up looking up to him as a father figure and still do to this day. He’s one of those special people you can look to for positivity and motivation when you’re feeling down. An actual positive male role model who just wants you to eat right, lift weights, and be kind. Oh, and he hosted and directed an episode of Tales from the Crypt once and owns a miniature horse named Whiskey that he lets live in the house with him.
What’S Not To Love?!
As you can tell, I am very excited to go through Arnold’s brief but legendary career...

John Travolta posted a video on Instagram to honor his late wife, Kelly Preston, for Mother’s Day.
The video shows Preston opening a box with “Mom” spelled out on top of it, holding it up and posing for the camera. With a brief glimpse inside the box, it looks to have contained a family picture with flower decorations around it.
“Happy Mother’s Day Kelly. We miss you and love you! Love, Ben, Ella, and John,” the caption reads.
Preston died almost three years ago in July after battling breast cancer for two years. She kept her diagnosis private and shocked many at the announcement of her death.

Scientology has long been a source of intrigue and controversy in the media.
Though categorised as a cult in Germany, the Church of Scientology is considered a religion by others and has generated headlines about teachings that many deem restrictive.
This, however, hasn’t stopped several Hollywood actors from advocating for the religion.
Recently, Alex Gibney, the filmmaker behind the documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, expressed shock that Tom Cruise, a famed Scientologist, has not been called out for his involvement.
“There hasn’t been any reckoning for him, it surprised me,” Gibney told Rolling Stone.
Whether it’s through Louis Theroux’s exploration into the Church or rumours of John Travolta’s attempted uncoupling from it, Scientology’s position in popular culture cannot be denied.
Here is a rundown of some of the best-known Hollywood stars who have been affiliated with the Church.

Music is, simply put, in Ella Travolta's blood. "It's always been a big part of my life," she tells Popsugar. "I've grown up around music."
Of course, the 22-year-old didn't just grow up around music - she was raised by the star of one of the biggest movie musicals of all time. Her dad, John Travolta, famously starred in "Grease" alongside the late Olivia Newton-John, whom he recently paid tribute to at the 2023 Oscars. During her childhood, Ella recalls spending a lot of time bonding over music with both her father and late mother, Kelly Preston. "He was always singing a lot or just improvising song and dance," Ella says of her dad. "Same with my mom. That was always a big part of my life - playing music, and him singing along, and me singing with him. It's definitely been a huge inspiration."

John Travolta was visibly emotional as he presented the in memoriam segment at the 2023 Oscars on March 12. During his intro, the actor referenced his work with the late Olivia Newton-John, who he iconically starred with in "Grease."
"In this industry, we have the rare luxury of getting to do what we love for a living, and sometimes getting to do it with people who we come to love," he began. "And since tonight is a celebration of the work and the accomplishments of our community in this past year, it is only fitting then that we celebrate those we've lost. Who dedicated their lives to their craft, both in front of and behind the camera; through their immeasurable contributions, each of them left an individual and indelible mark that shared and informed us."
Fighting back tears, Travolta added, "They've touched our hearts, they've made us smile,...

The news of Kirstie Alley’s death, when it broke in December 2022, devastated fans around the world. She was a vibrant TV star, best known for her long-running role in the series Cheers. Alley went on to become a popular movie actor, appearing in films like Look Who’s Talking, For Richer or Poorer, and Drop Dead Gorgeous. In spite of her popularity as an actor, she has a complicated legacy, with her dedication to the controversial religion Scientology making some fans question her judgment — and her Twitter tirades against ex-Scientologists causing some concern.

John Travolta is one of the world’s most iconic stars. The face of such popular ’70s movies as Grease and Saturday Night Fever, he remains beloved. Over the years, Travolta has managed to dodge many tabloid controversies and scandals. These days, he’s still considered to be a family-friendly star. However, he is, for some, synonymous with Scientology, the controversial religion espoused by Tom Cruise. Travolta has been involved in the religion for years. And he still relies heavily on Scientology’s teachings and practices, as he’s revealed in several recent interviews.

As many pay tribute after the star’s death, the controversial Church of Scientology is memorializing Kirstie Alley, who was a member of the organization for many years.
Alley was raised Methodist but decided to try Scientology in 1979 to help with cocaine addiction. Over several decades, the actress reached Operating Thetan Level VIII, the highest spiritual status in the church which requires going to some extreme lengths to achieve, including high monetary costs and intense counseling and interrogations.

In 2018, Cheers and Look Who’s Talking actress Kirstie Alley showed up in a Church of Scientology publication called Freewinds.

John Travolta shared a celebratory post for his son’s 12th birthday on Instagram this week. The actor posted a picture of newly 12-year-old Benjamin getting cozy with their dog Peanut.
“Happy birthday my Ben!” Travolta wrote. “From your Dad, Ella and Peanut!! We love you so much!!”
