Rosa Margarita Marulanda, 61, lives with one goal in mind: to become the first Hispanic to hold the Guinness World Record for having the longest nails.
Seven years ago, the native of Colombia’s capital city Medellín made the decision to grow her fingernails, which are currently about four inches long, to the point of not being able to use them to complete household chores, or button pants. The last time she cut her nails was in March of 2010.
“I am proud of my nails,” Marulanda said to Spanish-language newspaper El Colombiano. “I know that they are the longest in Antioquia.

While we wait for the new trailer for Stranger Things Season 2 to be released today, here's the full soundtrack track list. The names of the songs on the list certainly seem to tease some of the plot points in the upcoming series.
I loved the soundtrack of Season 1 as the songs were fueled with the nostalgic 80s synthesized greatness. The opening theme alone is has become iconic.
Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein returned to compose Season 2 and they will be giving the new season new sounds, while also revisiting old themes. They explain in a statement:
“In Season 2 we’re introducing new styles of composition, while still revisiting old themes when appropriate. We’ve created new elements that are necessary to support the story, but still want to remain true to the sound of Season 1.”
The soundtrack will be rolled out soon on and will be available on digital, CD,...

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein announced that the soundtrack for the second season of the Netflix show Stranger Things will be available on October 20th.
The two composers – also members of the Austin group Survive – previewed the new 34-track LP with "Walkin' In Hawkins." The track unfolds at a stately pace, as gurgling synthesizer lines and deep jolts of bass gradually accumulate around the primary melodic motif.

Need to catch up? Check out our previous Fargo recap here.
The reverberations from last week’s Fargo fatality spread far and wide this week — and gave us our first tangible connection to previous seasons.
Nikki’s still waiting in that motel room, nursing her bruises with ice, unaware that Ray’s lying dead in a pool of blood. The cops knock down her door and haul her into the station, where Moe coldly drops a photo of Ray’s corpse in front on her. She’s stunned, but maintains her poker face (or maybe her bridge face?) while Moe...

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta is back to snatch the drama queen crown of reality television. It’s the highest rated edition of the popular VH1 franchise (others are set in New York and Hollywood) that examines the unpredictabilities of relationships and trying to make it in the hip-hop world. Season six promises to be an action-packed ride complete with family scandals, friend betrayals and slick slang that you may not understand without a lyrical guide.
For a show often accused of being scripted, some of the most potentially juicy moments this season seem too hard to fake. As the season opens, we’re catching the last few months of former stripper Joseline Hernandez’s controversial pregnancy and waiting for the big reveal -- is the father of her child Bonnie Bella (born Dec. 28) her former partner in crime, music producer Stevie J, or is it quirky Atlanta rapper Young Dro?

After a 17-year hiatus from directing feature length films, Alison Maclean returns to the screen with The Rehearsal, an adaptation of Eleanor Catton‘s acclaimed 2008 novel. On its surface, it looks like other films in a specific, youthful sub-genre that rarely produces particularly insightful or interesting dramas. However, its visual precision elicits a unique mood that elevates the film from the normal, self-important teenage tale.
The most fascinating moments play out as we’re shown the inner workings of the fine arts academy that Maclean places us in. The Head of Acting, Hannah (played masterfully by Kerry Fox) commands a lot from her young students in terms of acting prowess and also building an intimate, familial environment in the institute. This is examined through intense and personal acting classes interspersed throughout the greater narrative. Maclean works with cinematographer Andrew Commis to make these scenes feel claustrophobic and weighty while also...

At the moment, the only people who know that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s Darryl prefers the company of women and men are Mr. Whitefeather himself and White Josh, the object of his affection. (Well, and maybe the people he was ogling during that aerobics class.) But after tonight’s episode (The CW, 8/7c), Pete Gardner tells TVLine, all of that will change in a big, popped-collar way.

In 2009, my buddy Mike and I set off for Houston, Texas to attend WrestleMania Xxv – no not the 25th Anniversary, that would instead take place in 2010, but WWE fancied changing what the term anniversary meant and we all accepted it.
On this trip, I would end up meeting three new Welsh friends and we formed probably the least intimidating gang of Brits you’ve ever seen as we all went to a convention, Axxess, the Hall of Fame, WrestleMania and the post Mania Raw.
I’ve chosen to include a few non-wrestling parts of the trip that stick out in mind to give these articles a little bit of variety. There was one fact that didn’t make the top ten, but I’m going to be technical and include it here as a number 11.

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale Divorcing -- After Gwen Called It a "Miracle" They Were Still Together
It's all over for Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. The No Doubt singer filed for divorce from Bush rocker hubby Gavin Rossdale after almost 13 years of marriage, according to TMZ. Stefani cited irreconciliable differences. The two are seeking joint custody of their three children together; 9-year-old Kingston, 6-year-old Zuma and 1-year-old Apollo. While the divorce definitely comes as a shock, Stefani herself said she was surprised they were still married in an interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year. "We go through so much together -- it’s a miracle that we could stay together this long," she confessed at the time. Some of the incidents their marriage has weathered: Gavin learning in 2004 that he fathered a then-teenage girl back in 1989 ... and the singer revealing in 2010 that he had a same-sex relationship in his teen years. Neither seemed to faze Stefani though -- and really shouldn't have, as both happened long before she entered the picture.

So much seems to happen in No Mercy, it’s surprising it isn’t filled with more pages than other books. At the same time, the storyline is simple enough to really make the reader connect with the characters and want the moral ones to succeed. This issue is simple enough: Chad and Charlene are trying to escape from the coyotes while stranded in the bus. They’re aided by The Quiet Kid, who we learn is named Anthony, and everyone’s favorite modern hippie, Travis.
On the bus, we discover just how strained the relationship between Chad and Charlene truly is. As we’ve seen in the previous two issues, Chad has no issue with only doing what’s best for him. In this issue, we see that...

There’s a certain feeling you get from finding out your favorite characters exist in the same fantasy world as another one of your favorite characters, like you’ve been let in on some very special little secret (never mind that everyone else watching is in on that secret, too).
While some shows have recurring crossover characters — like the wonderful sharing of Ursula Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) on Friends and Mad About You — others are just a one-off, like the appearance of the cast of St. Elsewhere on the classic sitcom, Cheers.

When director Jan de Bont set about casting the various faces and secondary characters that populated bus #2525 in his 1994 actioner "Speed," it was very important to him that they reflect the multicultural identity of Los Angeles. Not only that, but he wanted there to be a heavy dose of realism in his choices, actors who seemed to be people you could look over on a morning commute and see reading the paper, sipping coffee, gazing out the window and starting their day. On the occasion of the film's 20th anniversary, I thought it would be interesting to track down as many of those actors as possible and tell the story of "Speed" from their perspective. It was a gargantuan task. While a number of them have remained in the industry in some way, many have moved on to other careers. But their individual stories are nevertheless as fascinating as the...

Earlier today I read Matt Singer's essay at The Dissolve about audience's attraction to the flabbiness of Seth Rogen (vote on our related poll!) in Neighbors. I like this essay which raises good points but it's depressing that no one ever extends this kind of enthusiasm or 'justify our love' ink to seeing less than perfect physical women on the screen.
Unrelated but coincidentally apt: On the bus home from my weekend in Boston on Sunday night the guy across from me was watching Bridget Jones's Diary on his laptop. I haven't seen it in years and years and every time I glanced over (I know it's not cool to eaveswatch but screens hypnotize me) I just thought "Zeéeeee* looks so pretty" Of course this is the movie wherein she was meant to be 'unattractive'.
Weight is a tricky emotionally loaded topic but the truth, at least according to me,...

It was an episode that I had been looking forward to for awhile thanks to the inclusion of Coulson’s mysterious cellist, but after last week’s development, I was also super curious to see what would happen now that Ward had rejoined the team with his Hydra cover intact.

Previously on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D… well, let’s just say trust is a little hard to come by these days. S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen. The team itself remains wary of whom they can actually count on, thanks to the events of last week. Hydra, which has been quietly infiltrating the organization for far longer than anyone can really comprehend (pawning a little background from Zola and Winter Soldier here) has finally prevailed. And just when we thought we had everyone figured out, Ward — Ward, of all people! — has gone to the dark side.

After three seasons, it is clear that Girls works best when it follows its muse with a damn-the-consequences regard for convention or obligation: When it’s more like carefree and careless Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and less like pleasing, conformist Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet); when it can’t be so easily reduced — like the way I completely reduced Jessa and Shoshanna in my strained effort to embellish whatever idea I was going for there on the front half of that semicolon.

It seems that all of the Housewives except for newbies Joyce and Carlton been holding on to niggling resentments toward Lisa for most of the season (or really, most of the series) and have just been too chicken or busy getting spray tans to confront her. Now, with Yolanda leading the charge for reasons that still aren't entirely clear, these women are joining forces to take down the series' queen bee. This brings up a lot of questions, not the least of which is, how did I miss the fact that Lisa and Ken smoke?

There, they met and chatted with charity workers who were selling the traditional red poppy emblems Britons wear to commemorate casualties of war. William and Kate, both 31, were helping to promote a Royal British Legion bid to raise £1.6 million (or $2.5 million) for the charity in a single day in the capital.

Nordic production outfit Nice Entertainment has been the subject of much speculation over the past few months as several potential suitors were seen showing interest in the company. Those reportedly included American Idol parent Core Media Group, Britain’s ITV, Fremantle, Sony and Time Warner. However, it’s Stockholm-based media giant Modern Times Group that has announced an agreement to acquire a majority 86.6% stake in Nice for an enterprise value of 84.4M euros ($114M). The remainder of the shares will be held by Nice founders and management. CEO, Morten Aass, will remain in his post at the company which had fiscal 2013 revenues of 121.1M euros. The Nice acquisition will expand Mtg’s production and distribution subsidiary Modern Times Studios. Nice has branches in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden and is the largest independent group of production companies in the Nordic region. It’s also the No.1 producer in Finland and Norway.

It's easy to forget that the Replacements used to be a punk band.
Those who witnessed their first live set in 22 years at Riot Fest in Toronto last night, however, will never forget that the Replacements used to be a punk band. As if taking their cue from Iggy and the Stooges, who played just prior, Paul Westerberg and co. brought a lot of loud and fast material to the fore on their way through an exuberant performance few would have thought likely a few short months ago.
But it did happen, and it played out brilliantly. The 'Mats played an eclectic mix of old songs, made jokes, took requests, played covers, and forgot lyrics in just over 75-minutes onstage.

Celebrity bus tours are lucky to get a glimpse of a famous front yard or two, but an Irish family on vacation last week got an epic surprise when Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul decided to pay their bus a visit.
We’re assuming most celebs hate these tours, what with groups of star-crazy out-of-towners pulling up to your home at all hours of the day with a guide screaming over a loudspeaker in your otherwise quiet neighborhood. But Paul’s reaction when he sees the bus? He runs down the stairs, greets everyone with some friendly small talk, and...

Nice Entertainment is turning into quite the acquisition target. I’ve learned that American Idol parent Core Media Group has joined the list of potential suitors for the Scandinavian production company. Core had signaled commitment to adding international presence to its U.S. operations, and I hear the company’s international team has had a number of meetings with key Nice executives over the course of several months. Other companies that are reportedly looking at Nice are UK’s leading private broadcaster ITV, said to be mulling a $135 bid, as well as Fremantle, Sony and Time Warner. The Helsinki-based Nice, which has branches in Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden, is the largest independent group of production companies in the Nordic region and is the No.1 producer in two of the markets, Finland and Norway. The company makes both drama and reality series with a portfolio that includes Hidden Tracks, The Half Brother,...

The real name of the latest Rhonj episode is “When Joes Collide,” yet I couldn’t help but feel that it should have promptly been renamed to something along the lines of “When Yellers Collide” or “When Really Annoying People Collide” or “When People Who Wear Way Too Much Make-Up Collide.” No matter what you want to call it, at least it featured a bit more action than last week’s snorefest. The real housewives and their househusbands left the comfort of the Garden State for a retreat to mend all of their wounds (organized by Teresa — what could go wrong?...

The UK’s leading private broadcaster has been on a production company shopping spree over the last several months in both the U.S. and Europe. In December 2012, it acquired a controlling interest in Gurney Productions (Duck Dynasty) followed by majority shares in Thinkfactory Media (Hatfields & McCoys) and High Noon Entertainment (Cake Boss). ITV also has controlling stakes in The Garden and So Television in the UK, Mediacircus in Norway and Tarinatalo in Finland. In a bid to increase its presence in super-hot Scandinavia, the group is now mulling a £90M ($134M) takeover of Nice Entertainment, according to The Sunday Times. The Helsinki-based Nice also has branches in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. It produces over 100 drama and reality series per annum including Hidden Tracks, The Half Brother, Babes On The Bus and Celebrity Babysitter. The Times says that Finnish investment firm Capman has hired Stella Advisors to auction the business...

Park City's Medical Services is giving out hand sanitizer right and left and advising everyone to wash hands frequently, avoid kissing contact, eat well, and get enough sleep. Peter will probably not make it to Sundance at all; his flu is not contagious but he is extremely tired. Since we have to be ready to go to an even colder Berlin five days after returning from Sundance, he's laying low. After returning home last night at 2:30 am, I wanted to sleep in and to forego seeing the 9:30 am screening of the Cambodian film A River Changes Course. But I was up at 7:00 am rearing to go. The family and Harlan were talking in the kitchen and I joined in and the time passed as we discussed the movies we had both seen – Harlan of Talk Cinema talked of May in the Summer, unique because the American sisters were Jordanian America with Haim Abbas their Jordanian mother and Michael Poland their American father. Their visit to Jordan for the marriage of one of the sisters was the notable element which took the film out of the realm of "typical Sundance family dramas". Their frolicking in the Dead Sea when a jet flies overhead and everyone freezes momentarily in anticipation of what might happen was the only reference to Israel's proximity. Word is that the film is mixed, some light touches and some heavy handed moments. The fourth opening night film (Who is Dayani Cristal? And Crystal Fairy are the two I saw and wrote about yesterday) Twenty Feet from Stardom was the best by far. About the lives of backup singers to Michael Jackson, Bruce Springstein, Bette Midler, Joe Cocker and the Rolling Stones, this film was already snapped up for U.S. Distribution of Radius, The Weinstein Company's genre arm and is an audience favorite.
As we talked on about our families, my plan to attend Fallen CIty and Soldate Jeannette, two films in the Contemprary World Cinema section, went unseen. However, in the long run, staying in was helpful for my health and I was so tired that I cancelled my dinner but went into town anyway to get a ticket for tomorrow's film Inequality for All in the New Frontier section. Christine Vachon's Kill Your Darlings was sold out so I couldn't get it for tomorrow. Getting the tickets and getting on the wrong tram to go to Main Street for the Documentary Reception hosted by AFI and Ida and the Sundance Channel Reception put them out of reach, and so much the better as I was still too exhausted to mix with people. Instead, I hung out a while at the Yarrow with Kathleen Dunn, the Palm Springs publicist who is here with a Peruvian short and the Italian French co-production There Will Come a Day whose star Jasmine Trinca was too tired to show up at the planned media event. Sorry I missed seeing her so this is all I can write about the film. Clay Epstein, the international sales guy from Arclight was there too and we made a plan for dinner after my two or three evening screenings. Andrew Mer from Snagfilms was also hanging a round and we all spoke together about our names, pronounced LevIne with a hard I, Epstine with a hard I (both of us hear our names pronounced with a hard e most often) and Andrew also commented on his name pronounced like mur or mer.
Off I went to see Lasting by the Polish director Jacek Burcuch and produced by Piotr Kobus of Mañana Productions whom I had met in November at the American Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland. He loves Spanish (this film is set in Spain where two Polish students are working and fall deeply in love) and plans to make his next films in Latin America. The stars Jakub Gierszal and Magdalena Berus are beautiful on the screen; he is especially magnetic. One to watch and see more of. Afterward I went to see God Loves Uganda which I could barely sit through. It made me sick to see the self-righteous evangelistic American preacher and his so-certain-of-herself wife preaching the evil of homosexuality with such charisma, certainty and articulation that even the legislative body was taken in to enact laws to execute anyone guilty of homosexuality or lesbianism The clergy that speaks out against such anti-human measures are expelled from the church. Church and state work hand-in-hand in cleansing their country of homosexuality which they credit with bringing down the world. It as so nauseating to watch and hear that I left after the first 20 minutes. Speaking about it later, I was reminded that Uganda had been the home of the madman ruler Idi Amin as well. Is there something in the Ugandan personality that welcomes insane extreme dictators to suppress the people's natural development? They all seem rational, organized, attractive and intelligent. No insight is given into this.
The subject was so stressful that I decided to forego the next stressful film After Tiller, about the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in 2009 to today's only four doctors in the country who provide third trimester abortions. Another brutal abrogation of human rights in which extreme male establishment (and church) mix in with the human right to own one's own body. Too much for my tired self. And so I also forewent the pleasure of seeing the Mexican film Halley and opted for dinner with Clay. We ate in a good Mexican restaurant next to the Holiday Village Theaters instead speaking of the courses we teach about the international film business, figuring a way to combine efforts to create something really exceptional. You will hear more on that soon I hope! Clay and I parted at the bus stop and will meet tomorrow for the Creative Coalition Luncheon on Education and the Favorite Educators of certain stars. On the bus to my car, I sat with Ula and we made plans to meet for tomorrow's breakfast hosted by Woodstock Film Festival. I plan to meet and interview filmmakers from We Are What We Are, the feature remake of the Mexican film and to see Inequality for All, a film about the widening income inequality and the effects it has on our economy and democracy. The docs this years are all quite issue oriented, less focussed on the odd individual or odd family sagas that seem more fictional than real. And the fiction films themes seem to run into cross-cultural issues more as the world becomes more internationalized. See you tomorrow!

This week’s episode begins with the teams competing in the Force Field challenge, which is kind of like human bumper cars. The remaining team members of each season must stand on a platform in padded inner tubes and try to knock the other teams off into a moat. Chet convinced the fuming Dustin, who wanted to vote himself off the island to protest Trishelle’s existence, to play nice.
Despite Vegas’s renewed efforts, Trishelle and Dustin come in last and automatically go into the arena. The former clown car San Diego somehow transforms into a well-oiled machine and become the power team yet again. Actually, the round probably went to San Diego, because Zach is huge and Frank is crazy, so no one else stood a chance.
Zach wants to throw St. Thomas into the elimination round because of Marie...

Who let the dogs out? This week, the cast was allowed out of the house for a day at a beach bar.
Brooklyn's Devyn is smitten with Fresh Meat'S Eric ("Big Easy") and vice versa. Devyn tells us that she normally goes for guys "collecting their social security checks" but even though Big Easy still hasn't gone gray and isn't walking with a cane, she's all about him.
Meanwhile, peeved that Vegas even considered breaking the alliance in the last episode, New Orleans wants to get even. New Orleans' Knight tells us that he wants to break Vegas down mentally. San Diego's Frank is also unsure about Vegas' place in the alliance among San Diego, Cancun, Vegas and New Orleans. Trishelle is annoyed that she has to clean up Vegas' mess and tries to make nicey nice with Knight.
