Ever wonder how much the woman with the smile that lights up the big screen is worth? Let’s just say they don’t call Julia Roberts America’s Sweetheart for nothing! Taking a closer look at her net worth and how she built her $250 million empire might just make you shout, “Pretty Woman, indeed!” With a flair for captivating audiences, Roberts burst onto the scene in the late ‘80s.

Now, what exactly is net worth? Simply put, it’s the total value of what you own (your assets) minus what you owe (your liabilities). So, in Roberts’ case, when you add up her movie earnings, endorsements, and other ventures, and subtract any debts, you...

Netflix has released the first trailer for Arrested Development season five part two, and it looks pretty funny! I know a lot of fans have been disappointed with the show since it came to Netflix, and while it hasn’t been as good as the first three seasons of the show, I’ve still enjoyed it and have been entertained by what the show has delivered. So yeah, of course, I’m looking forward to the second part of season five!
Before you watch the trailer, you can check out the synopsis for the next chapter of the story of the Bluth family here:
In the second half of Arrested Development’s fifth season, pressures mount on the Bluth family as Buster heads toward a murder trial. The Bluth company is on the hook to build a ‘smart’ border wall that puts them in debt and risks exposing a software hoax perpetrated by George-Michael.

We’re getting the first look at the second half of Netflix’s Arrested Development‘s fifth season.
In S5B, pressures mount on the Bluth family as Buster (Tony Hale) heads toward a murder trial. You may recall, in the first half of season 5, Buster found himself in jail as suspect No. 1 for the murder of Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli). After breaking out of prison in the first half’s finale, he’s back on the hot seat and ready to face the judge and jury.
Also in Season 5B, the Bluth company is on the hook to build a ’smart’ border wall that puts them in debt and risks exposing a software hoax perpetrated by George-Michael (Michael Cera). Soon the gay mafia is involved and it appears that even Michael (Jason Bateman) can’t save the family this time. And Tobias (David Cross) becomes a Golden Girl.

This article marks Part 5 of the Gold Derby series analyzing 84 years of Best Original Song at the Oscars. Join us as we look back at the timeless tunes recognized in this category, the results of each race and the overall rankings of the Academy Awards winners.
The 1950 Oscar nominees in Best Original Song were:
“Mona Lisa” from “Captain Carey, U.S.A.”
“Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” from “Cinderella”
“Mule Train” from “Singing Guns”
“Be My Love” from “The Toast of New Orleans”
“Wilhelmina” from “Wabash Avenue”
Won and should’ve won: “Mona Lisa” from “Captain Carey, U.S.A. ”
Best Original Song in 1950 underwhelms a bit, with really only two particularly memorable nominees – one, the winning “Mona Lisa,” and second, the catchy-as-can-be “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.”
“Mona Lisa,” featured in the forgettable Alan Ladd war picture “Captain Carey, U.S.A.,” is performed sumptuously here by the always-marvelous Nat King Cole. His performance, coupled with the rich orchestrations,...

"Those were real dark days for me," Caitlyn said of the late 1980s, after she had been through two divorces (one from Chrystie Scott in 1981 and the second from Linda Thompson in 1986).

1: Dr No – Opening Title Sequence
The schizophrenic title sequence introduces John Barry’s famous James Bond theme, but instead of transitioning into the now traditional pop song (which uses the title as a lyric), random portions of two calypso songs were used instead. This was also of course the first of Maurice Binder’s many fantastic title sequences, and while some of the standard conventions are absent (such as the silhouetted nude bodies floating about), we still do get the lines of white dots sliding across the screen before transforming into a gun barrel, through which Bob Simmons fires his gun. From then it’s on to a procession of primary colours and shapes and an Atari-like animated sequence. All in all, this remains one of the most distinctive opening title sequences of the series.

Chris Evans, along with most of the other original Avengers stars are most likely not going to come back for more films after Avengers: Infinity War-Part 2. There have been rumors about replacing the characters with new actors, such as having Sam Wilson, Aka the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) take over, as was done in the Marvel comic. But would this work? Would people accept a new Cap? There’s a way to test out the public’s tolerance for a replacement actor, and the Agent Carter TV show is the place to do it.
We all know the story of how Steve Rogers, Aka Captain America, was frozen at the end of WW2 and remained on ice until his revival decades later. In the comics, however, there were stories featuring Captain America that took place in the late 1940s-early 1950s. How could that happen? The answer to that question points to...

The hands-down winner, though, was Crews’ take on the “Golden Girls” theme song, due in no small part to the fact Crews sang it to the original “Golden Girl” herself. White was sitting in the front row of the show when Crews hopped offstage and sang the song directly to her. The actress took it all in stride, laughing and blowing a kiss to the camera.

Sean Connery as Bond. Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore. Auric Goldfinger. Oddjob too. Our 007 lookbacks arrive at the iconic Goldfinger...
For many this is the Bond film. The quintessential Bond facing the ultimate villain who utters the greatest line midway through the most iconic scene. Plus you have the coolest henchman, the best car, the most memorable death, the loudest song, and the Bond girl with the silliest name. Plus Honor Blackman could easily lay a claim to being the premier leading lady. While Goldfinger can’t claim all the aforementioned categories, there’s little doubt that the film is a peak, a marrying of critical acclaim and popular appeal rarely achieved since.
The Villain: Monumental. A hugely charismatic figure and the most jovial of baddies, the Big Man utterly dominates the film. He interacts with Bond perhaps more than any other antagonist: over golf, cocktails and, immortally, beneath a laser.

The former Golden Girl visited The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, where she was surprised by a choir, her favorite Christmas song, and giant dancing animals. The longer the clip goes, the more surreal it all becomes. But White's face is that of pure, unadulterated joy, and that's what's most important. (N.B.: Ferguson's run as host ends this week. Jay Leno will be his final guest, on Friday.)...

Talk about an upgrade! In her years since leaving Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl's style has taken a bit of a turn for the mumsy. And while, as you can see in her street style, she hasn't totally given up those vibes, the State of Affairs actress' fashion picks did take a turn for the sexy on Thursday, Nov. 13. When Heigl, 35, was spotted on the streets of NYC earlier that day, she looked a bit like a Golden Girl in a peach coat, matching culottes, and a [...]...

So Elsa threw a party and invited everyone she knew. We would see the biggest gift would be from freaks, and the card attached would say, “Thank you for being an egomaniacal, controlling, psycho, screech beast who will do anything to get her way — I mean, a friend. Thank you for being a friend.” Yes, it was our Golden Girl of the freak show’s birthday, and she celebrated by wearing her finest gowns and having a receiving line where everyone in her employ was forced to bring gifts, whether they be naughty or nice. But by the end of the episode, the party was over and Elsa was left pretty much alone.What I thought was great about this episode was that at the beginning, in a voice-over (we’re using them regularly now, so forgive me for last week when I was freaking out about Dandy having a...

I’m much more used to seeing medical dramas airing during the fall. Summer time seems to be filled with mediocre comedies, trashy reality shows, and very little substance if the networks can help it. That’s not something I have much of a problem with, since summer is also a time for big-budget action flicks and Shakespeare in the Park. In short, summer is a time to get out of the house and not spend time trying to keep plots and characters straight if you can help it.
The advertisements for ABC’s “Black Box” looked intriguing. They promised a show about a neurologist with bipolar disorder who has a brilliant career. It made me curious about the show, thinking maybe, since the show would deal primarily with both brain and mental disorders that it would have at least a sympathetic portrayal of the patients.

Golden girl! Jessica Alba dressed the part for the Magnum Golden Butterfly Awards in Istanbul, Turkey, on June 22. The Sin City actress, 33, wore a perfectly fitted strapless Romona Keveza gown and Brian Atwood heels. The shimmering mermaid dress, which featured a dramatic train, showed off Alba's lean figure. She completed the dazzling look with a Jenny Packham "Belle" clutch and Dannijo "Arlo" earrings. The mother to Honor, 6, and Haven, 2, wore her hair in a side-parted chignon and kept her makeup neutral. She played up her [...]...

Some may say that television hasn’t been too good to senior citizens in terms of their stereotypical depictions. Regardless of the unflattering portrayals there had been some memorable oldsters (in this case over 60) that have given us equal shares of both laughs and cries. In “For Mature Audiences Only”, let’s take a look at some of the more mature characterizations that had an impact on our daily doses of entertainment on the glorious boob tube.
Instead of doing a typical top ten or top twenty listing let’s go in between with a top fifteen selection, shall we? The “For Mature Audiences Only” choices are not necessarily a tasting that everyone will agree on. Perhaps you have your own preferences that were omitted or something that you feel should be added? Anyway, here are the candidates in alphabetical order…

Betty White proved that she could throw it down with the best of them when she hosted WWE Monday Night Raw. The 92-year-old Hot in Cleveland star took to the ring with WWE superstar Big Show at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday night, and told the screaming crowd: "I'm gonna kick some ass!" The petite former Golden Girl was dwarfed by the seven foot giant pro wrestler as they linked arms in front of the packed stadium, which was the venue for the 2014 Grammy Awards last month.

The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards was filled with highly entertaining moments and amusing acceptance speeches. For example, pretty much every joke that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made poking fun at the star-studded crowd. But if we're picking the crème de la crème, the ladies implying that Matt Damon was "basically a garbage person" among all of the A-list celebs, the real story behind Gravity and George Clooney, and of course, Julia Louis-Dreyfus being "too cool" to sit with the TV crowd. Golden girl Jennifer Lawrence appeared shocked and admitted that she couldn't stop shaking as she accepted the award—in true J.Law fashion—for Best Supporting Actress in...

Someone needs a new stylist! The 71st Annual Golden Globes were a night to remember ... and a few of these red carpet looks we'll never forget. Zoe Saldana normally nails her red carpet looks ... but she definitely missed the mark in this Prabal Gurung beaded mess of a dress. While the "Out of the Furnace" star's hair and makeup looked on point, there's way too much going on in this crazy ensemble. Drew Barrymore might be glowing, but her Monique Lhuillier dress was not. The light pink color with the giant flower embellishments makes the gown look dated. This outfit's better suited for a "Golden Girl" and not an A-list actress. Sandra Bullock, likewise, wore a disappointing Prabal Gurung dress for the big night. We usually love the "Gravity" star's style, but the patterns on the dress were way too distracting. Other than the awkward color blocking, we think Sandy looked great.

Val Kilmer says Betty White is "evil" -- but admits that he resembles the former "Golden Girl" when dressed up as Mark Twain. The star of "Citizen Twain," a play about the author, joked on "Conan" that White won a Grammy that should have been his. Kilmer was nominated in the Best Spoken Word category in 2012 for his narration of "The Mark of Zorro," but White won for her audiobook.

Busier than probably the vast majority of 91-year-olds, Betty White's schedule just got a little lighter as NBC cancelled her show, "Betty White's Off Their Rockers."
Because of ratings struggles, the series' season finale on Tuesday became its series finale, though a producer has hopes for a new home elsewhere.
In an interview with Deadline, Chris Coelen explained, "We’re really proud of the show and the fact that the audience has responded as favorably as they have, and the interest we have already received from other networks is a testament to the show. We are thankful we had this experience at NBC.”
However, fans of the last surviving "Golden Girl" can get their fix on TV Land, where "Hot in Cleveland" is renewed for a fifth season.
