Prince William spent Friday afternoon returning to a homeless center that he first visited with his mother Princess Diana more than two decades years ago. William, who has made homelessness one of the main focuses of his public work, said the childhood visits "left a deep and lasting impression upon me." Speaking at The Passage in London, where he officially opened the charity's refurbished St. Vincent's Centre, William met a woman who remembered him from those early visits. Volunteer Iris Moore, 87, who was there when young William visited for a second time with Diana and his brother Prince Harry in 1994, asked him,...

"Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? Can you face the challenge of the champions? Do you have the courage of the heroes?
"Do you have the will or the skill? Do you have the strength, the speed the heart to be a winner? Deep down in your Soul?"
These were the fundamental questions posed by ITV's original Gladiators, to both the audience and brave contenders who dared to take part. While this particular writer longed to be Lightning (her backflips were to die for), all the seemingly superhuman powerhouses were forces to reckon with - only occasionally tamed by strict referee John Anderson.
Originally hosted by John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson, Gladiators was what Saturday nights in the '90s were made of.
So as Saracen (aka Mike Lewis) returns to our small screens to tackle the Ninja Warrior UK obstacle course, we pick out some of the...

Following the exciting presentation at CinemaCon last week, 20th Century Fox released some new details for their upcoming releases. Check out the official synopses along with some photos for all their 2015 and 2016 films.
The highlight of the event was the must-see film of 2015 – Ridley Scott’s The Martian.
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, Nasa and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold,...

Disney's "Frozen" is a bona fide phenomenon. It's become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, spawned oodles of merchandise, and is currently being spun off as theme park attractions, Broadway musicals, Disney-on-Ice spectaculars and, we're assuming, a line of high-end Olaf-flavored snow cones. The latest piece of the "Frozen" puzzle, however, is the dazzling new seven-minute short "Frozen Fever" that makes its debut attached to "Cinderella" starting this weekend.
The short is centered around Anna's birthday; Elsa, having spent so many years in seclusion, wants it to be perfect. But since she's come down with a cold, things don't go exactly as planned. (We'll keep things vague -- we don't want to spoil a second if it!) The entire "Frozen" team returns for the short, from voice talents Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad, to songwriters Bobby and Kristen Lopez (yes, there's another insidiously infectious song...

Melbourne, Feb 16: The officers who had investigated the death of iconic 'Inxs' singer Michael Hutchence have opened up for the first time about the scene inside the star's room at Sydney's Ritz-Carlton hotel where his body was found.
Former detectives Mark Smith and Michael Gerondis have claimed that Hutchence, who had supposedly committed suicide while depressed and under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, had dark nicotine stains on his fingers and a months-old cigarette burn so deep it exposed the bone, News.com.au reported.
The duo asserted that Hutchence's corpse showed the tell-tale signs of a man bent on destruction.

Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...
