Taraji P. Henson and Ellen Pompeo sat down for an insightful ‘Actors on Actors’ chat and surprised viewers in more ways than one.

For, their talk saw Pompeo reveal that she hated working on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ because of the wild and truly unruly behaviour she says a number of its cast and crew displayed off-camera.

#MySleeptweet You see, this is how “yellow journalism” works. @VanityFair needs to keep my name out of this. You gone be dirty? Why don’t you ask Ellen Pompeo how she was paid “hush money” to protect Patrick Dempsey and HIS “toxic behavior”. THIS: https://t.co/r27TS0emnL

Camila Cabello‘s meteoric rise to solo stardom after her departure from Pop quintet Fifth Harmony has been nothing short of a fairy tale.  As such, it seemed only fitting for Sony Pictures to cast the 22-year-old as the lead in their reboot of ‘Cinderella.’

The musical comedy, as we reported here, is penned and directed by Kay Cannon and will reportedly see its newest reimagining based on an original idea from ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’s wildly popular segment, ‘Carpool Karaoke.’ As if that’s not enough, Cabello will also play a major role in the production of the flick’s accompanying soundtrack.

IFC’s tapped big names to assist with the launch of their new sketch comedy series, ‘Sherman’s Showcase,’ including the likes of John Legend, Common, Tiffany Haddish, Quincy Jones, and so many more.

The comedic brainchild of writers/actors Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin, the “show within a show” tells the fictional tale of “Sherman McDaniels” (Salahuddin) and his variety show ‘Sherman’s Showcase’ (a la ‘The Flip Wilson Show’). McDaniels acts as the ‘proprietor of the imaginary comedy archive that stretched from the ’70s on forward,’ and the show is chock full of musical, dance, and sketch performances that reference each of the eras presented.

Reshaped and reimagined in various fashions over the years by the likes of Vanessa Williams, Jim Carrey, James Earl Jones, The Muppets, and more, Charles Dickens‘ classic novel, ‘A Christmas Carol,’ has seen the story of its main character – “Ebenezer Scrooge” – presented countless ways since its debut over 170 years ago.

With 1988’s ‘Scrooged’ (Bill Murray‘s classic revamp) easily standing out as one of the most memorable of the lot, Hollywood’s leading comedian, Kevin Hart, is reportedly in talks to remake the family favorite 30 years after its release.

As soul-stirring anthems go, Mariah Carey houses many in her colossal catalogue.

One of the most resonating, though, is ‘Fly Like A Bird’ from giant comeback album ‘The Emancipation Of Mimi.’
