Exclusive: Michael MacMillan retired from the world of television 17 years ago. Except, he didn’t.
The Canadian film and TV producer and business exec had made his name as CEO and Chairman of Alliance Atlantis, the company that built the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation franchise into a worldwide phenomenon, before its broadcast unit was sold off in 2007 to Canwest Communications and Goldman Sachs — making a lot of cash and taking a well-earned early retirement.
However, just four years later, he was back to do it all again.
MacMillan launched Blue Ant Media in 2011, originally as a Canadian channel operator, much the same as Alliance Atlantis had operated. However, just like his previous company, network ownership was only a means to an end — owning content was always the real play.
In the 13 years that have followed, Blue Ant has transformed from a channel operator to a content company playing in the international rights ownership game,...

It’s that time of the year again. Mariah Carey has been defrosted. “Black Friday” sales seem to last for weeks. Last-minute treks to the gym fail to absolve your guilt over that third slice of pecan pie. Unfortunately, we’ll also have to endure a litany of ill-conceived and poorly executed Christmas songs that are inexplicably resurrected every year, and will likely be until time immemorial. Here are 15 of the absolute worst offenders. Apologies in advance.

Jessica Simpson had an adorable family outing on Saturday when she attended a Spring style event benefiting The Boys and Girls Clubs of Waco, TX. The fashion designer hit the red carpet in her home state with her husband, Eric Johnson; their two kids, Maxwell and Ace; her sister, Ashlee; her brother-in-law, Evan Ross; her niece, Jagger; her mom, Tina; and her grandmother, Dorothy. The four generations of women looked gorgeous while smiling for photographers, with little Maxwell even picking up her cousin Jagger for a few adorable snaps. Jessica's dad, Joe, appeared to miss the event, as did Ashlee's son Bronx, whom she shares with ex Pete Wentz, but the large group more than makes up for it.

“This is really a passion project of my mother,” Washington told Et. “She has spent her entire life working to improve lives for children in the Bronx myself included. I was a kid who benefited from her hard work in the Bronx… she's just a phenomenal… I mean the Bronx was the only borough without a children's museum and thanks to the hard work of everyone here, my mother included, that legacy is ending, so I'm proud to be here to support the Bronx and to support children, being that I was a kid from the Bronx and, you know, have children of my own it's just a very important night.”

In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Month, Venus Williams paid a visit to her elementary school in Lynwood, California.
The 36-year-old, who lived in California until sixth grade before moving to Florida, surprised her first grade teacher at Mark Twain Elementary, Ms. Judy Vellegas.

Wolverine is basically Old Man Peter Pan.
A new TV ad for Logan suggests that you don’t go see “The Beauty” this weekend, as in the just released Beauty and the Beast, but go see “The Beast” instead. I agree with the recommendation, yet if Wolverine is to be likened to any character from a Disney classic, it should only be Peter Pan. And with Logan the comparison is especially interesting.
Oddly enough, Hugh Jackman recently starred as the villain Blackbeard in a prequel to the Peter Pan story as we know it, and it was properly — pun intended — panned. Logan is the better reworking of the material, which originated with dramatic and literary works by J.M. Barrie. This time Jackman is the Peter figure in a kind of epilogue to the tale. Forget Hook, because Logan offers the only old man Peter Pan we need.

Boys and girls, the moral of the story on NCIS: New Orleans Season 3 Episode 6 is about communications.
That starts with the case of the week in which a top Navy Seal candidate, who was about to flunk out of training because of a dark secret in his past, was found dead.
It had to be something serious to make Corey Marchand, who had already passed on a basketball scholarship at a major program, walk away when he was so close to accomplishing his goal of becoming a Seal.

Chris Pratt nearly spilled the beans on who Star-Lord's father is. In a fundraising video for Washington's Lake Stevens Boys and Girls Club, the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 star offers fans the opportunity to eat a meal and spend a day with the actor on set. "Hey guys, I'm going to get right to it. I want to make you the newest Guardian of the Galaxy," Pratt tells the viewer in the comedic video. Throughout the near three-minute clip, Pratt walks his fans through various areas on set, including looking at costumes, props, the studio and

This is as good a reason as any for a celebratory dance-off: Chris Pratt is offering one lucky fan the chance to talk about space (or anything) with him over lunch on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in Atlanta, Ga, where the Marvel sequel is currently filming. The rest of us who don’t win this grand prize still get to hang out with Pratt virtually in the video announcing this. Pratt is his usual delightful and goofy self in the video, where he gives us a tour around the set of Guardians 2. We get a peek here at some cool gadgets, the golf cart that Pratt parks oh-so-skillfully, and the wardrobe room, where Pratt is blossoming as a talented costume designer. All this is part of a campaign to support the Boys and Girls Club of Lake Stevens, Wa, Pratt’s hometown. Donations will go...

You can Superman Punch Vince, you can Stunner him, and you can punt him in the head… But Never jokingly grab him by the arm on television.
Being just ten days into Black History Month, the recent 90-day suspension of Titus O’Neil for playfully grabbing Vince McMahon’s arm on Raw couldn’t have come at a worse time for WWE, and the internet is not happy about it.
One can only wonder if there was any other baggage WWE considered prior to coming down on such a harsh ruling. Titus is one of the most well-liked and most humanitarian members of the WWE locker room. He constantly appears with Stephanie McMahon at events supporting Boys and Girls Club kids. It would baffle me to find out Stephanie didn’t come out to bat for him prior to his suspension.
