Angelina Jolie recently credited her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand, for everything she’s learned and has been doing as a mother for her six children. During a recent interview with  Elle France , the 41-year-old “Maleficent” actress revealed that she strives to be the best example to her kids, Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and Vivienne and Knox, 8. “She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives and I am sad they will miss out on that. I would give anything for her to be with me at this time. I’ve need her. I talk to her often in my mind and try to think what she might say and how she might guide me,” she said. Bertrand, who was a French-American actress, raised Jolie and her brother, Haven, by herself following her divorce from Jon Voight. At the time, Jolie was still a toddler so she hasn’t spent as much time with Voight. But in recent years,  Jolie and Voight have reunited with each other , and the award

Ahead of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s commencement speech at Harvard today, the school’s much-lauded student newspaper had some… interesting headlines to share. “BREAKING: Mork Zinkletink Zonks all over the Internet!” The bogus headlines, first spotted by Business Insider, came from an unauthorized user according to a statement given to TechCrunch by Crimson President Derek Cho. Earlier today, The Harvard Crimson’s website was altered by an unauthorized user. We are currently working to repair the breach. We regret any inconvenience to our readers and look forward to the rest of Commencement. It’s all a bit fitting, given Zuckerberg’s own troubled past with The Crimson. Back in 2004, while Zuckerberg was a student, he allegedly hacked into the email accounts of two editors of The Crimson to see a story ahead of press time written about claims of intellectual property theft made against his new website TheFacebook. He reportedly used failed login attempts from the edit

Burgers probably aren’t a regular part of your diet but sometimes they really hit the spot on cheat days. (If you're wondering which spot you should frequent, here are  the 12 best fast food burgers for weight loss. ) Of course, if you’re going to have a treat, you want to make sure you go with the best. Now, a new survey has uncovered just where you can find that. The Harris Poll’s 29th annual  EquiTrend Study , which measures brand health over time, had more than 100,000 Americans rank more than 4,000 brands across more than 450 categories. Naturally, burger joints were among them. Here’s what the results found: Five Guys was named the Burger Restaurant Brand of the Year by the people surveyed, beating In-N-Out Burger, which had held the title for two years. The next best-ranked burger spots were Shake Shack, Wendy’s, Culver’s, Whataburger, McDonald’s, SONIC America’s Drive-In, Smashburger, and Steak ‘n Shake. Researchers found that McDonald’s was the most familiar re

The motion picture academy is just full of surprises these days, isn't it?  On Tuesday morning, the academy and ABC dropped an unexpectedly early announcement that Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the 90th Oscars ceremony on March 4, 2018. This year's producers, Jennifer Todd and Michael De Luca, will also helm the show for the second year in a row. “Jimmy, Mike and Jennifer are truly an Oscar dream team,” academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a statement.  “Mike and Jennifer produced a beautiful show that was visually stunning. And Jimmy proved, from his opening monologue all the way through a finale we could never have imagined, that he is one of our finest hosts in Oscar history.” “Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career and I am grateful to Cheryl, [academy CEO] Dawn [Hudson] and the academy for asking me to return to work with two of my favorite people, Mike De Luca and Jennifer Todd,” Kimmel said in his own statement. “If you think we screwed u

"Smiling doesn't win you gold medals." That's what Simone Biles taught the world on last week's episode of "Dancing With the Stars. This week, the Olympic gold medalist learned that perfection doesn't win you mirror-ball trophies.  Biles was eliminated from Monday night's episode of "DWTS," failing to make it to the season finale, despite earning perfect scores from the judges on both of her dances.  How could this happen?  Pretty easily, it turns out.  While the judges' points matter, they don't matter as much as you might think. And don't underestimate the audience vote. Here's  how it works : Each of the four remaining contestants — Biles, former baseball player David Ross, Fifth Harmony member Normani Kordei and NFL running back Rashad Jennings — were judged on their two dances and given numeric scores, with a maximum of 40. Biles Jive: 40 Rumba: 40 Total:  80 Jennings Rumba: 38 Quickstep: 39 Total:  7

"Scandal" is coming to an end. ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey announced that Season 7 will be the final season for the hit drama from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland and starring Kerry Washington. “Shonda has decided the series needs to come to a close, and while this is definitely a bittersweet moment for all of us gladiators, I have no doubt what she has in store for the final season will be as powerful as what’s come before, and we will be sure to honor that every step of the way,” Dungey said in a statement. In a separate interview, Dungey added, "We had conversations with Shonda where she had had for a while a sense of how she wanted the story to end. We sat and we talked and she said, 'Look, I really feel like Season 7 is where we want to wrap up the story. I always prefer to end the show where you’re feeling creatively on top as opposed to letting things drizzle out.'" Rhimes said in a statement, "“Deciding how to end a sho

Emma Stone and Steve Carell might be early 2018 Oscar contenders. As co-leads of Fox Searchlight's "Battle of the Sexes," the two take on the historic match between tennis legends Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.  "Male chauvinistic pig versus hairy-legged feminist," Carell's Riggs says on the phone in a new trailer released Tuesday. "You're still a feminist, right?" "I'm a tennis player who happens to be a woman," says Stone as a half-awake King. The film, set in the early 1970s, chronicles both players' lives on and off the court. As King was rising in her field, her supportive husband urged her to fight for equal pay. Meanwhile, King was struggling to come to terms with her own non-hetero sexuality.  As for Riggs, the picture directed by “Little Miss Sunshine” helmers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris contends that the former champ gambled away his legacy and reputation.  The tennis match was one of the most

Katy Perry is headed to ABC’s revival of “American Idol.” During the network’s presentation to advertisers at Lincoln Center in New York, ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey confirmed that the pop star will serve as the show’s anchor judge. “Katy is a superstar and a fantastic addition to the long list of great ‘Idol’ judges,” Dungey said, adding that "we’re pulling out all the stops to make ‘Idol’ bigger and better than ever.” The pop star, who announced her new album and tour on Monday, also shared her excitement in a statement. “I am honored and thrilled to be the first judge bringing back the American Idol tradition of making dreams come true for incredible talents with authentic personalities and real stories,” Perry said. “I’m always listening to new music, and love discovering diamonds in the rough," she added. "From mentoring young artists on my label, or highlighting new artists on my tours, I want to bring it back to the music."

Revivals continue apace on screens big and small, with word that "Roseanne," the family sitcom led by comic Roseanne Barr, will be returning to its home network at ABC in 2018. “The Conners’ joys and struggles are as relevant — and hilarious — today as they were then," ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said in an announcement Tuesday morning. "There’s really no one better to comment on our modern America than Roseanne." The original "Roseanne" ran on ABC from 1988 to 1997 and stood out in its time for its uniquely barbed humor in depicting a working class family making ends meet in  Illinois. In addition to Barr, the show featured John Goodman as her character's husband, Dan, along with three children, who were played by Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and a combination of Sarah Chalke and Lecy Goranson portraying the family's oldest daughter, Becky. The series also featured Laurie Metcalf as Roseanne's sister, Jackie. Th

Pep Guardiola has called on fans to roar Manchester City into the Champions League and give Pablo Zabaleta a fitting send-off. City take on West Brom in their final home game of the season tonight looking for three points to tighten their grip on a top-four position in the Premier League. Their place in Europe's top club competition could even be confirmed if Arsenal drop points in their clash against Sunderland on the same night. If selected, the visit of the Baggies will also mark long-serving full-back Zabaleta's final appearance at the Etihad Stadium. The Argentinian, who joined City in 2008, announced at the weekend he will move on in the summer. City boss Guardiola said: "His impact here was amazing. He was one of the first players to come here. What he and other guys did for the club, helped (make) this club what it is right now. That is why he deserves the best last game here at home. "Hopefully all the fans can come tomorrow to the Etihad Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Penguins could have Sidney Crosby and Conor Sheary back in the lineup on Saturday night for Game 5 of their second-round series against the Washington Capitals. Coach Mike Sullivan announced on Saturday morning that both players passed their baseline concussion tests and will be game-time decisions. Sullivan added that Crosby has “had a number of positive days.” Both players missed Game 4 of the series — which the Penguins won 3-2 to take a 3-1 series lead — due to concussions. Crosby was injured when he was cross-checked in the head by Matt Niskanen early in the first period of Game 3. Niskanen was given a five-minute major for cross-checking and ejected from the game but received no additional discipline from the NHL. Sheary was knocked out of the same game following a collision with teammate Patric Hornqvist in the second period. Both players were full participants in practice on Friday, with Crosby taking his spot on the top-line between Jake Guentzel and

The Catalan club are level on points with Real Madrid but sit at the summit of the table due to their superior head-to-head goal-difference record against  Los Blancos . Real Madrid  coach Zinedine Zidane said on Friday Cristiano R onaldo has accepted the need to rest during the season as the prolific Portuguese prepares to sit out a fourth consecutive league away game in missing Saturday’s trip to Granada. “Villarreal are a team that present many difficulties in defence as they position themselves so well”. If  Real Madrid  win their remaining matches, they will win  La Liga . “But we also have a lot to play for, and we will go out there and give our best”. Now tied for points with leaders Barcelona,  Madrid  have a game in hand due to their late Champions League run. However,  Real  have a game in hand on their El Clasico rivals and they face a relatively easier clash with already-relegated  Granada , which takes place after  Barcelona  have hosted the Yellow Submarine

  Kate Seamons  – "My assessment is that it’s definitely part of something bigger." Such is the pronouncement from the man who spent 30 years leading the CIA's Russian operations in a  Washington Post  article about some American conservatives' new ally: Russians. The article opens with an anecdote about the president of the National Organization for Marriage, who thought of the Soviet Union with wariness as a child of the '80s but has since found kindred spirits in Moscow, which he has visited four times over four years. He sees a "real push to re-instill Christian values"; a conservative Nashville attorney agrees, "The value system of Southern Christians and the value system of Russians are very much in line." The  Post  sees it as emblematic of a "significant shift ... in recent years across the Republican right." The  Post  spends some time delving into the relationship between Alexander Torshin, a figure in Putin's pa

Does running back Jamaal Charles have the juice to kick-start Denver’s offense into high gear? Kiz:  Broncos Country wanted Christian McCaffrey. But when it became obvious McCaffrey was going in the top 10 of the NFL draft, trading up for him proved to be cost-prohibitive for Denver. And the offense still needs juice. Well, here’s an idea: Before there was McCaffrey, there was Jamaal Charles. Same size. Same speed. The only problem? Charles is 30 years old and damaged goods. How much does Charles have left in the tank to offer Denver’s offense? Jhabvala:  Let’s be clear that almost every team wanted McCaffrey. It became obvious early that trading up high enough to get him would be unfeasible for the Broncos, at least what they hoped to accomplish in the draft. Vance Joseph and John Elway made it clear they wanted to draft for speed and filling needs. They accomplished both — or at least, on paper they did. But they need more juice on offense. The Broncos offense the last two se

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick to give Real Madrid a 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal on Tuesday. Real Madrid dominated the early proceedings at the Benabeu, outshooting the visitors 11-0 in the opening half-hour as Ronaldo headed home in the 10th minute, before he lashed home a second midway through the second half and completed his treble five minutes from time. Ronaldo became the first player to record three career hat tricks in the Champions League knockout stage, while he also went level with Lionel Messi with his seventh treble in the competition as a whole. The hosts first scoring opportunity came in the seventh minute as Dani Carvajal danced into the box and saw his shot saved back into the middle by Jan Oblak, though Karim Benzema's follow-up shot was blocked. But Madrid were in front three minutes later as Casemiro chopped a cross into the ground, and as it bounced up Ronaldo rose highest to head into the

Priyanka Chopra has a superpower, the power to win over the world in outfits unimaginably chic. Met Gala 2017 was held last night, and guess who stole the show?--the  desi  girl Priyanka Chopra, who else. While the star-studded event saw the who's and who of Hollywood walking in their fashionable and plush best, Priyanka Chopra appeared in a trench coat. As confusing as it sounds, the elegant-yet-beautiful Ralph Lauren trench-coat gown was subtly the most drool-worthy outfit on the grand red carpet. After slayin' at the Oscars red carpet for the last two years, Priyanka has developed a knack for owing the international red carpets. The 34-year-old actor gave hotness a new synonym by pairing her double-breasted front-slit trench-coat-gown hybrid with black, high-top, high-heeled leather boots. The standing collars and just the right amount of cleavage show, was the perfect amalgamation of raw and sexy--the qualities Piggy Chops is best known for. With the gor

Daytime talk show host Kelly Ripa hinted she would be getting a new partner on  Live with Kelly  on Monday in a video posted on social media. "Tune in tomorrow," Ripa says in the Sunday afternoon post, taking a sip from a mug emblazoned with her show's logo and a large question mark. "Trust me." Ripa has been the only permanent host on  Live with Kelly  for nearly a year — her former co-host Michael Strahan left to join  Good Morning America  last May. Ripa said she'd been caught off guard by Strahan's departure and took time away from the show after it was announced. Ripa has been joined by 67 guest hosts on  Live , according to  The Wrap , including Anderson Cooper, Megyn Kelly, and Ryan Seacrest. In an interview with  Watch What Happens Live  in 2016, Ripa told host Andy Cohen that there had been an "outpouring" of interest in filling Strahan's seat at the desk. “Our list got very long very quickly," Ripa said. "We’

A new picture of Princess Charlotte, the youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, was released on Monday ahead of her second birthday on Tuesday. The picture was taken by Kate close to the family home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, a county north of London,  BBC reports . The young girl — who is named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana in tribute to her late grandmother Diana, Princess of Wales, and great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II — is pictured by hay bales while wearing a yellow knitted cardigan. "Their royal highnesses would like to thank everyone for all of the lovely messages they have received, and hope that everyone enjoys this photograph of Princess Charlotte as much as they do," Kensington Palace said in a statement on Twitter.

(LOS ANGELES) — "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" won the Daytime Emmy Award for best entertainment talk show Sunday, 20 years to the day that her character came out as gay on the sitcom "Ellen." "She did it because it was the right thing to do," said Mary Connelly, "Ellen" executive producer, of DeGeneres' decision to be open about her sexuality and do the same for her character in 1997. DeGeneres was absent and Connelly accepted the award. "General Hospital" was honored as best daytime drama, with top acting awards going to Scott Clifton for "The Bold and the Beautiful" and Gina Tognoni for "The Young and the Restless."
