No sarcasm in the headline there, as I always want to watch another show about cake…but will the digestive traffic jam of competitive cooking shows based on carbs you’ll never get to eat (like Bryan’s chocolate ganache on last week’s Top Chef, pictured) ever end? Today Bravo announced a Top Chef spinoff to air sometime in

Another sequel will pretend part of its own history never happened: Beverly Hills Cop 4 will take place with willful disregard for parts two and three. To confuse matters a little further, the film might actually be called Beverly Hills Cop , which would make you think it's a remake. That's also untrue. It's just a sequel pretending the previous sequels don't exist and it's not called Cop 4 because...

When this story started unfolding, the first bit of breaking news was that Judge Reinhold and John Ashton's cops Rosewood and Taggart would both be back and reunite with Eddie Murphy for the next Beverly Hills Cop film. Then, an apparent U-turn came when it was announced that, actually, nothing like that could be promised yet as a new writer was about to come onto the project. So... Taggart and Rosewood...

here...Moviehole says that John Ashton may reprise his John Taggart role in the forthcoming BEVERLY HILLS COP sequel to be directed by Brett Ratner. You’ve likely already heard that the former (played by Judge Reinhold) will return (and I won’t say what he’ll be getting up to in this one), but you may be surprised to hear that John Ashton’s being coaxed back to play the character...

With a new 'Beverly Hills Cop' movie in the pipeline, many people who fondly remember the original film (which did stellar box office and made a star of Eddie Murphy) are understandably curious about what's being planned, given that the third film was about as enjoyable as a hot poker enema. According to Moviehole , producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura plans to detour directly around the second and third...

I'm not sure if I want to see this one or not, but the concept sounds interesting depending on how it's directed - Nicolas Cage has signed on to do a movie called Drive Angry, a 3D movie about a vendetta. Written by Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, the basic concept is Cage is driven by intense vengeance and ends up chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped his grandchild across the...

Remember the Seinfeld episode featuring the "close-talker," an overly pleasant fellow named Aaron (played by Judge Reinhold) who stands just a little too close to people when he's talking to them? If you thought someone must have had brain damage to be so nice, perhaps you weren't far off: a new study out of Caltech associates close-talking with damage to a specific region of the brain....

I made an appointment to put Army of Dad's car in the shop to have some routine maintenance done. But, by making the appointment I could get a loaner car. Uh, yeah. The only thing they had available was the manager's truck with the Toyota wrap on it. So, I'm driving the Tundra with the advertisments all over it. It is laughable enough that I'm driving a truck. I haven't done that since 1990! But, I...

Did you now Phoebe Cates is 46 today? Where did the time go? Whenever I think of her I think of Fastimes at Ridgemont High when she was getting out of the pool. And Judge Reinhold was peaking out the window knocking out a batch by hand. And whenever I think of that, it reminds me of a story that a friend of mine tells of when he was in college. I wasn't even there when this incident happened but I...

From 1892, THE FATE OF FENELLA is an odd novel with something — but not much — for enthusiasts of Victorian sensation fiction; fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker; and readers interested in literary experiments. Magazine publisher Joseph Snell Wood, who edited “a newspaper de luxe, indispensable to every Gentlewoman” called, well, THE [...]
