Cher. What more needs to be said?
She’s the icon of icons, and her list of accomplishments would take forever to list. So on her 68th birthday, let’s pick the best of the best of her immense music catalog. For the purposes of this post, let’s keep it to Cher as a solo artist, and remember …
After The Nuclear Holocaust, The Only Things That Will Remain Are Cockroaches … And This List.
20. Carousel Man
Year: 1973
Album: Half Breed
Chart Peak: N/A
When the album Half Breed came out in 1973, it represented a bit of a comeback after two previous chart disappointments, thanks to the #1 title song (which we’ll be seeing later), which makes it curious why the second and final single “Carousel Man” was only released as a promo to radio DJ’s, and therefore failed to chart on the Hot 100. It remains memorable thanks to that bizarre merry-go-round hook.

Hadrian's wall, Culloden, the poll tax, Jacob Rees-Mogg: yes, England has inflicted an awful lot of angst and pain on Scotland down the centuries – but, look, we still don't want you to leave
1 Sorry for calling every last one of you "Jock". We now know it's offensive, especially if you're a woman.
2 So sorry for the years of heartless Conservative governments that you never voted for that ripped the heart out of the Scottish mining, steel and shipbuilding industries, butchered public services and imposed an unwonted, dismal neo-liberal ethos on a land to which such a callous political and economic philosophy was inimical.
3 And for making you guinea pigs for Margaret Thatcher's disastrous poll tax, inflicting it on you a year before England and Wales, and then – somehow! – forgetting to backdate the rebate for the tax when it was abolished in the early 90s.
4 Sorry for the 1746 Dress Act that banned tartan,...

NBC Digital began laying off employees this morning. According to insiders, about 4 out of a staff of 80 got the axe. NBC declined to comment. The prelude to the layoffs came two weeks ago when Rob Hayes, Evp Digital Media for NBC, announced a division overhaul, in which four new executives were added to the digital team: Michael Martin, Svp, Product, Technology & Operations; Tom Blaxland, VP, Production; Eddie Lee, VP, Technology; and Ross Cox, VP, Product. In addition to those hires, Matt Allen and Trideev Dasgupta wee upped to VP, Digital Integrations and VP, Digital Business Development & Strategy, respectively, reporting to Ann McGowan, Svp, Digital Business Development & Strategy. Today’s layoffs are the result of that restructuring, insiders say. It’s been a little more than a year since Hayes was named Evp, replacing longtime NBCUniversal digital chief Vivi Zigler who left the company. Hayes was among the former Showtime execs...

After a six-year stint as the lead of Syfy’s departing drama series Eureka, Colin Ferguson is switching to comedy as the lead in Bill Lawrence’s Fox pilot Like Father. The project, from Warner Bros.

Brian Cox seems to have made a career out of being everywhere at once, popping up in Hollywood blockbusters next to Brad, Jake, Matt and friends one minute and lending his actorly weight to a low-key television drama or a play at London's Royal Court the next. In the past seven months alone, he's been a scientist with a death-wish in the BBC's re-make of The Day of the Triffids, the beleaguered ex-Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, in On Expenses and the voice of an Ood elder on Doctor Who.

Imagine, if you will, standing onstage with nothing but a brief suggestion from an audience member for the musical you're about to perform. Who knows what your fellow actors are planning or what score your accompanist will provide? But you're confident that by the end of the sketch, you'll have performed something more than a rough draft of a might-have-been musical. Musical improv groups, with names such as Once Upon a Time, Face, and Don't Quit Your Night Job, have recently popped up all around New York. In hopes of exposing audiences and engaging actors in the new form, starting tonight the Magnet Theater will host the Musical Improv Festival, with six performances tonight and another six Saturday evening."Musical improv scares me to death," says T.J. Mannix, the festival's co-producer. Such a sentiment isn't so reassuring for New York City actors interested in melding traditional improv with the stage musical form.

Michael Martin's profile of Tom Sturridge is a perfect introduction to the young British actor:
It's been a few years since Sturridge got his break playing the son of Annette Bening's character in 2004's Being Julia. But he didn't mind the hiatus. "I want to do good stuff, which basically means waiting a bit," he says. Of course it's all timing: "If we did this interview next week, I'd say, ‘Listen, motherfucker, I'm playing Batman tomorrow!' - - -
- - - I've seen him in almost all his movies. While it took me about two sittings to totally absorb 'Like Minds', his portrayal of the mysterious Nigel Colbie, remained hyptonic and consistent throughout the movie. I find the casting of Tom and Eddie Redmayne to be just perfect. I was hoping to see Jamie Bell and Tom in Jumper, and anticipate another great team up,...

In addition to the awesome text interview we get a very cool new video of Taylor that goes behind the scenes of his Interview photoshoot.Michael Martin How is the Twilight phenomenon sitting with you?Taylor Lautner Its the weirdest thing. Nobody really saw it coming. I mean we knew we were making a movie of a very popular book but we didnt know how well it was going to do. When it opened it exploded and that was not something any of us saw coming. Filming New Moon is a lot different than the first one because this time we know what we are getting into.

The thing that’s striking about Kieran Culkin in person is his indistinctiveness: He’s smaller, more diffuse, and more everyguy than the sharp and damaged characters on which he’s made his name. In blue jeans and jacket he’s unrecognizable on an East Village street; in conversation he’s as funny and loquacious as a corner bartender. Turns out that’s by design, and probably therapeutic: As ascion of one of Hollywood’s largest and most controversial stage families, he started film acting at the age of 7, and ever since has endured tabloid noise about his father’s mismanagement of his older brother Macaulay’s runaway stardom from the Home Alone films—a pop-culture juggernaut that threatened to typecast the entire family by default.
But Kieran definitively overcame his surname’s baggage with 2002’s Igby Goes Down, where he held his own against Susan Sarandon as a morose...
