In the past two years, Priscilla Presley's life has been back in the spotlight. Between 2022 and 2023, not one but two films were made with Elvis Presley as the subject: Baz Luhrmann's Oscar-winning "Elvis" and Sophia Coppola's "Priscilla" - the latter of which is based on Priscilla's 1985 memoir, "Elvis and Me." The film stars Jacob Elordi as the King of Rock and Roll, with Cailee Spaeny portraying Priscilla from ages 14 to 27, the ages she was romantically involved with Elvis. "Priscilla" is a personal and intimate look at Presley's early relationship with and marriage to Elvis, which has often been overshadowed by the late singer's fame. "It's very difficult to sit and watch a film about you, about your life, about your love," Priscilla said during a September press conference at the Venice Film Festival "Priscilla" premiere (via Variety). "Sofia did an amazing job.

Mayim Bialik doesn’t have fond memories of her past experiences with “competitive” moms.
On Thursday, The Big Bang Theory star — who shares sons Frederick, 9, and Miles, 12, with ex Michael Stone — revealed that when she was a new mom for the first time, she left a group meeting “in tears” because the other moms in attendance had been so competitive with each other.
“I instantly felt out of place,” Bialik, 42, said in a video posted on Facebook and Youtube. “I used cloth diapers, I didn’t use pacifiers or bottles. I didn’t have fancy clothes — neither did my baby...

Lots of films are dedicated to, or in memory of someone. But it's not always clear why. We've been finding out...
Back when Breaking Bad returned for its final batch of episodes in August 2013, it had a dedication at the end of it. The card read 'Dedicated to our friend Kevin Cordasco'. As it turned out, Kevin Cordasco was a 16-year old who had been battling cancer for seven years, who had met both Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan. Cordasco died before he could ever get to see the episode dedicated to him.
I found this such a moving story, that it got me wondering about the dedications that appear on films, and what the story behind them was. After all, the dedications are there for a reason. What I uncovered was some funny stories, mainly extremely sad ones, and some extremely moving dedications.

HBO's sibling pay-cable channel Cinemax is venturing into original programming with its first scripted primetime drama, Strike Back, a 10-hour action series it will co-produce with British satcaster Sky and U.K.-based Left Bank Pictures (The Special Relationship). The project, written by The X-Files alum Frank Spotnitz and British TV writer Richard Zadjlic (EastEnders), is inspired by the Sky series Strike Back, which in turn was based on Chris Ryan's book of the same name. That series, produced by Left Bank Pictures, premiered last summer and starred Richard Armitage as John Porter, former British Special Forces soldier drafted back into service by MI6. The Cinemax/Sky version will have new settings/storylines and will introduce new characters, led by Damien Scott (Animal Kingdom's Sullivan Stapleton), a charismatic former U.S. Special Forces operative who teams up with a British military unit led by Section 20 officer Michael Stone...

New York - Jersey Shore’s Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has hired New York firm Srg Ventures to manage the rollout of licensed Snooki products – from fuzzy slippers to big sunglasses and jewelry, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Denim, sportswear, lingerie, handbags, personal care, beauty products and home goods could also become part of the product lineup down the line, the paper said.
One early licensing deal is with Happy Feet, the company that makes the fuzzy slippers she wears on the show, according to the report. Snooki-designed styles with animal prints and neon colors have already sold well, it said.
Similarly, jewelry seller DiamondShark has been offering a limited edition New Year's "Party Ball" Snooki pendant. In the coming weeks, it will offer a Valentine's Day pendant bearing Snooki's own design flair.
"Snooki has a passion for a lot of different products," the Post quoted Srg executive Stephen Goodman as saying.

Andy Albeck, who as head of United Artists signed off on the classic "Raging Bull" and the infamous flop "Heaven's Gate," died of heart failure Sept. 29, four days after his 89th birthday, at Nyu Hospital in New York.
Albeck spent more than 30 years at UA, where he worked with such renowned filmmakers as Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola and impacted the iconic James Bond, Rocky and Pink Panther franchises.
After stints as president of UA broadcasting and senior vp operations, Albeck was named studio president and CEO in 1978 after the previous studio leadership left and formed Orion Pictures. His three-year stint at the top was well-documented in former UA executive Steven Bach's best-selling book "Final Cut," which focused on the making of the Michael Cimino's "Heaven's Gate."
The 1980 Western, starring Kris Kristofferson and Christopher Walken, is considered one of the biggest box-office bombs in history.

That plan changed, however, after Bialik became a mom to Miles Roosevelt, 4, and Frederick Heschel, 19 months, and she “fell in love” with the attachment parenting lifestyle, a “style of parenting that … was not compatible” with her continued studies.

Many of us grew up remembering him as Lieutenant Mike Stone of the San Francisco police department, the tough but kind-hearted detective who mentored the young Steven Keller — played by an equally young Michael Douglas — on the ABC series The Streets of San Francisco between 1972 and 1977. An older generation recall his tremendous performance as Father Barry opposite Marlon Brando in the 1954 classic film, On the Waterfront. For both generations, Karl Malden was a truly compelling character actor. And today we will miss him, for at age 97, Karl Malden has died.
Malden passed away in his sleep at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, according his manager, Bud Ross. The cause of death has not yet been determined, but given Malden's death, it could have been a combination of factors, all most probably brought on naturally as a consequence of age.

Having recently binged through the West Wing, it was great to recognize him as a guest star in one episode. A great actor who'll be sorely missed.

Actor Karl Malden has died of natural causes at the age of 97. He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Mona, two daughters, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Malden worked as an actor for both television, theater and film for seven decades, with his last credited performance as a priest in an episode of The West Wing nine years ago. He won an Oscar for Best Supporting Performance in the 1952 adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire for director Elia Kazan and later an Emmy for his work in a 1984 made-for-television movie, Fatal Vision. He was also an active supporter of his profession by serving on the boards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Screen Actors Guild and then serving as the Academy's president for the years 1989 to 1991.

Karl Malden, who vaulted to movie prominence by winning an Academy Award for best supporting actor in "A Streetcar Named Desire" but who is perhaps best known for his lead role on 1970s TV series "The Streets of San Francisco," died Wednesday of natural causes at home in Brentwood. He was 97.
With his craggy face and bulbous nose -- he liked to say he had "an open-hearth face" -- Malden didn't possess matinee-idol looks, but he projected a familiarity and a fire that made him identifiable as an average guy who could rise to the occasion. Audiences respected him for his down-to-earth, lunchpail style.
His collaborations with Marlon Brando and director Elia Kazan, both lifelong friends, resulted in his "Streetcar" Oscar for playing Brando's pal Mitch and a supporting actor nomination three years later for his portrayal of Father Barry, who counsels Brando's character to stand up to the dock racketeers in "On the Waterfront.

It looks like CBS wants to send Detectives Mike Stone and Steve Keller back to The Streets of San Francisco, albeit without the show's original stars.
The Streets of San Francisco debuted on September 16, 1972 on ABC. The series follows veteran detective Mike Stone (Karl Malden) as he is partnered with a rookie and recent college graduate, Steve Keller (Michael Douglas). Over time, Keller learns the ropes and is promoted. Towards the end of the series' five year run, Keller leaves the force to become a professor at a local college and Stone is partnered with another young detective, Dan Robbins (Richard Hatch). Malden won four Emmys for the series while Douglas took home three. The show ended its run on June 23, 1977.

Add this one to the "why?" category.
CBS is developing a remake of "The Streets of San Francisco," the '70s era ABC cop drama starring Michael Douglas and Karl Malden as Bay Area cops.
On the show, which aired from 1972-77, Malden played the older, wiser Det. Lt. Mike Stone, with Douglas - in his first major TV role - playing the younger, more rebellious Inspector Steve Keller.

Steve Keller and Mike Stone are back on "The Streets of San Francisco."
CBS is developing a contemporary remake of the classic 1970s cop series that starred Michael Douglas and Karl Malden.
Feature writer Sheldon Turner ("The Longest Yard") and "Numbers" producer Robert Port are penning the script, with Simon West on board to direct the potential pilot.
CBS Par TV, which owns the rights to Quinn Martin Prods.' original series, is producing the new take that has received a script order from the network.
Turner and Port, a certified member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, had worked on reinventing "Streets" for the past seven months. They spent time in San Francisco, riding along with Sfpd cops.
The remake will keep key elements from the original series: the title, the names of the two main characters and, of course, the backdrop of the City by the Bay. But the main focus is to bring the spirit of the original "Streets" into the new reincarnation, Turner said.
"The times are very similar -- it was the Vietnam War in the 1970s and the Iraq War now," he said. "There is the same sort of tension between generations, and we wanted to carry that to the new series."
Turner compared the 21st century Keller and Stone to presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
"One, like Obama, wants to be active and believes in rehabilitation, while the other one, like McCain, doesn't quite believe in rehabilitation and believes that the enemy is the enemy," Turner said.
Turner and West, who has a deal at CBS Par TV, will executive produce the new "Streets," which also will feature elements of a traditional crime procedural. Port and West's producing partner, Jib Polhemus, serves as co-exec producer.
While several classic cop series such as "Starsky & Hutch" and "Miami Vice" have made the leap to the big screen, TV remakes, such as Dick Wolf's 2003 attempt to revive "Dragnet," have been rare.
Still, reinventions of old series are hotter than ever among the broadcast networks with such recent entries as NBC's "Knight Rider" and "The Bionic Woman" and CW's "90210."
Turner, whose credits also include "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" director West are repped by CAA. Port, Oscar winner for "Twin Towers," is repped by UTA.

While several classic cop series such as "Starsky & Hutch" and "Miami Vice" have made the leap to the big screen, TV remakes, such as Dick Wolf's 2003 attempt to revive "Dragnet," have been rare.
Still, reinventions of old series are hotter than ever among the broadcast networks with such recent entries as NBC's "Knight Rider" and "The Bionic Woman" and CW's "90210."
Turner, whose credits also include "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" director West are repped by CAA. Port, Oscar winner for "Twin Towers," is repped by UTA.
