This colorful gangland drama was made by a studio in transition, in the middle of a crippling musician’s strike. Robert Taylor and Cyd Charisse were MGM’s last contract stars; her costumes and dance numbers are wildly anachronistic for the period setting and she refused to take direction from Nicholas Ray, whose career was coming apart at the seams. Yet the maverick director must have done something right, as the show has remained a favorite of audiences and critics. Co-starring Lee J. Cobb, John Ireland and Corey Allen. The Wac’S remastered Blu-ray is a beauty.

On Monday, three women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct came together to share their allegations on Megyn Kelly Today.
“It was heartbreaking last year. We’re private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there to try and show America who this man is and how he views women, and for them to say ‘Eh, we don’t care,’ it hurt,” said Samantha Holvey, a former Miss North Carolina winner, who claims Trump walked into the dressing rooms during the Miss United States pageant in 2006, when she was competing for the title.

After Sunday's Miss Universe fiasco — which, let's face it, was probably the best pageant-related event ever, Miss United States notwithstanding — you'd probably think the organization would be quick to sever its ties as painlessly as possible with its disgraced host Steve Harvey. Alas, not really. According to Miss Universe producer Mark Shapiro, all is forgiven, and he even wants Harvey to reprise his hosting duties again in the future. "I definitely want him back, and I would hate to see him not come back," he said on The Jim Rome Show. "He’s going to want a shot to redeem himself." Harvey, who publicly apologized several times for his "honest mistake," misread the winner of the international beauty pageant as Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, when it should've been Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. "Look, the world forgives, the world forgets. It could happen to the best of us," Shapiro continued. "He...

Say goodbye to those bikini bods at the Miss World competition.
For the first time in 63 years, the pageant will no longer feature a swimsuit round in their competition, the organization's chairwoman Julia Morley announced Thursday.
"The organization has decided to take itself out of the swimsuit world because it isn't the path they're trying to take," Chris Wilmer, the national director of Miss World America/Miss United States organization, further explained to ABC News.

A unique reaction to getting caught on the latest installment of "Catfish: The TV Show." Joe thought he was in an online relationship with Kari Ann Peniche, the former Miss United States Teen who'd posed for Playboy. At the reveal, though, Joe couldn't believe it actually turned out to be his friend Rose.
But she wasn't pretending to be Peniche out of insecurity or anything related to Joe really at all. She was just having fun.
"For me, it’s kind of like entertainment," Rose said. "I don’t know why everyone’s making a big deal about it." She didn't care at all if anyone was hurt by her "entertainment," and was actually deceiving several people online in multiple fake relationships.
Not surprisingly, Joe hasn't spoken to Rose since the taping.
See more surprising stories of online deception every Monday on "Catfish: The TV Show" at 11 p.m. Est on MTV.

Miss Congeniality, released in 2000, was filmed in New York City and San Antonio, but mostly in Austin. I recall it was a big deal when they filmed the movie in town because they closed down a section of Congress, and people attempted to catch a glimpse of the stars around town.
The Sandra Bullock feature has her playing FBI agent Gracie Hart, assigned to a team investigating a threat to the Miss United States pageant. Benjamin Bratt plays her colleague/team leader/love interest Eric Matthews, who decides Hart will go undercover at the beauty pageant. Overseeing her entry into the pageant world is Michael Caine, who camps it up in this movie. Candice Bergen is the pageant -- er, scholarship program -- coordinator, and Heather Burns almost steals the show as a clueless Miss Rhode Island.

After a video surfaced last month of what appeared to be "Grey's Anatomy" star Eric Dane, his wife Rebecca Gayheart, and another woman nude together, the couple filed suit Wednesday for copyright infringement. In the suit, the couple claims that Mark Ebner somehow obtained the tape and then delivered it to celebrity news Web site Gawker.com with the intention to "disseminate" it. The suit says that the Web site posted nearly four full minutes of the nude video on August 17, and that it was given a takedown notice that same day "demanding that it immediately remove and cease and desist and refrain from exploiting, publishing, posting, displaying, distributing, or otherwise using or disseminating the video…" The suit goes on to say that the couple has sustained damages "in an amount exceeding" $1 million.
