'Gilligan's Island' at 50: A Classic Comedy's Surprising Musical Legacy

Gilligan's Island is 50 years old. Its music is timeless.
 

"'Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale...' The catchy theme from Gilligan’s Island is etched in the memories of generations of Americans, including mine!" Rick Bogard, music professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, said via email. "The familiar five-note intro is sure to send me to the television to watch another rerun of one of the favorite shows of my childhood."
 

Indeed, "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," written by sitcom creator and executive producer Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle at the behest of network execs who worried audiences wouldn't understand how a shipmate (Bob Denver), a skipper (Alan Hale Jr.), a millionaire (Jim Backus) and the rest came to be stranded together on an uncharted island, is oft-cited as a TV favorite.

Don’t Expect To See ‘Aliens’ In ‘Prometheus 2′

For a movie that takes place in the same universe as the “Alien” movies, “Prometheus” was pretty light on the iconic creatures. The film’s only “Xenomorph” appears right at the end, as it bursts out of the chest of one of the godlike “Engineers.”

That last scene suggested to some fans that “Prometheus 2,” still in development, would include an expanded role for the Xenomorphs that terrorized Sigourney Weaver across four films, and did battle with the Predators in two other movies we’d like to forget. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“Prometheus” director Ridley Scott suggests the Xenomorph is retired — or, at least, not a part of his plans for the sequel.

“The beast is done. Cooked,” Ridley said. “It’s very hard to repeat that. I just happen to be the one who forced it through because they said it’s obscene. They didn’t want to do it and I said, ‘I want to do it, it’s fantastic.’ But after four [films] … I think it wears out a little bit. There’s only so much snarling you can do. I think you’ve got to come back with something more interesting. And I think we’ve found the next step. I thought the Engineers were quite a good start.”

Kim And Kanye Cause Chaos At Balmain Show; Kim Trampled, Saved By Bodyguard

The couple caused utter chaos at the Balmain show runway show tonight in Paris, with more than 200 people rushing a small room to be close to the American super-star couple.

Kim got shoved to the ground and trampled, according to our videographer: "Kim fell down and got crushed. Her bodyguard had to help her up and fended off fans."

The uber-pair were supposed to be celebrating with Kim's half-sister Kendall who walking the show, but before the young Jenner left the runway, all hell broke lose.

First, Kim and Kanye couldn't even drive a couple blocks down the street from their hotel to the show -- it took 45 minutes because fans were blocking the road! Once the couple arrived and entered the Royal Monceau hotel where the show was to take place, fans started pushing and rushing the building. Tables were overturned, bottles upon bottles of Champagne were broken and glasses crashed to the floor. Only two bodyguards had been hired to monitor what was supposed to be a small, VIP-only event, but it turned into a huge mess!

Kris And Bruce Jenner Divorce: $60 Million Split

Kris and Bruce Jenner's divorce settlement was probably less than you think, because multiple sources say, the pot they divided was approximately $60 million.

We're told dividing the assets was "easy and amicable" ... almost all of their earnings were put in a joint account, and that includes their TV profits, Bruce's speaking engagements and their ownership in various businesses.

Lawyers were not involved in the property settlement ... it was all done with the help of their business managers. Each filed legal docs in pro per -- meaning without lawyers.

Part of the settlement ... Kris gets the Hidden Hills estate. Bruce gets to keep his Sherwood Country Club membership.

There's no spousal support. The property gets divided, and that's that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Romances Heather Milligan At German Oktoberfest

 

Oktoberfest looks more like a love fest for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Terminator star held hands with girlfriend Heather Milligan as he squired her about the celebration in Germany on Monday. The two were joined by fellow actor and Scorpion King star Ralf Moeller.

While they left the lederhosen at home, the couple looked in sync in brown coats and footwear for the clear fall day.

The two, who have been dating for more than a year, seem to be well matched in more than fashion. Last fall, the 67-year-old was spotted giving the 39-year-old physical therapist a smooch outside Fig Restaurant.

It is the former California governor's first public relationship since separating from his wife, TV personality Maria Shriver, who filed for divorce in 2011 after he admitted to fathering a love child with their housekeeper, Mildred Baena.

‘The Shawshank Redemption’ At 20: How It Went From Bomb To Beloved

When it premiered on September 23, 1994, “The Shawshank Redemption” barely registered at the box office. The prison drama opened at No. 9, below the odious sex comedy “Exit to Eden” and just above Robert Redford’s “Quiz Show,” already in its fifth week. Though nominated for seven Academy Awards, the film failed to connect with audiences and vanished from theaters with little fanfare. And then, slowly but surely, its fortunes began to change. On its 20th anniversary, here’s how “The Shawshank Redemption” beat the odds and became a beloved classic.

Stephen King

Prior to 1982, most readers thought of King as an author who wrote only horror, but the publication of “Different Seasons” changed all that. A critically acclaimed bestseller, this beautifully crafted collection of four dramatic novellas introduced King to an even broader audience. The book’s first story, “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption,” remains one of his most deeply humane and hopeful works of fiction.

Kris Jenner Officially Files For Divorce From Bruce Jenner

 

Family patriarch Kris Jenner dispatched her lawyer to Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday to file for divorce from estranged husband Bruce Jenner.

The petition comes nearly a year after they announced their separation.

"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," they said in a joint statement last October. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

According to the filing, obtained by sources, Kris cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. She requests joint custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Kylie. (Their other daughter, Kendall, is 18.) Kris also seeks to retain her jewelry and all assets from the date of separation, listed as June 1, 2013. 

Bruce, 64, and Kris, 58, tied the knot in 1991, bringing together a big brood that included Kris's kids Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, and Rob, and Bruce's kids Brody, Brandon, Casey, and Burt.

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Quietly List Their Bel-Air Mansion For $11 Million

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have quietly listed their half-renovated Bel Air mansion for $11 million. They scooped up the pad shortly before daughter Nori's birth last June, but they never actually moved in due to the ongoing construction. The pair are now residing in their $20 million Hidden Hills home that they bought last month.

The abode was riddled with problems so potential buyers might want to think twice! Apparently there were issues with the electricity, water and heating in the house and workers had to to completely rewire the place.

The lovebirds had reportedly spent over $750,000 on four gold-plated toilets, nearly $1 million on Electrolux appliances, and they even ordered a Swarovski-encrusted fridge and freezer! The Daily Mail reported that Kimye spent over $1 million on six special edition luxury beds that are "covered in the same decadent gold silk used to create iconic Hermes ties, equating to some 1,600 miles of thread in total." A source previously told The Sun, "They expect the interior to cost twice as much as the property. They’re spending more than a million on a security system alone." The new owner better hope it comes furnished!

The home includes a hair and makeup salon, a bowling alley, both indoor and outdoor pools, a basketball court, a movie theater and a custom gym.

Idris Elba Provides Additional Proof That Nicolas Cage Might Actually Be A Vampire

Here we have an Idris Elba story about Nicolas Cage and Dracula's castle that basically proves that he is 100% definitely a vampire (or, at least, is exactly as eccentric as the Internet would like to believe). In Elba's own words, as told in his Reddit AMA:

Yeah - Nicolas Cage came back one day on set, and he came down to set and he looked a little bit tired, a little bit - kind of like he'd ben up all night. So I was like "hey Nic man, how you doing man" and he said "i'm alright' and I said "You seem a little spoked out" and he said "Yeah man, I went up to Dracula's castle...the ruins up in the mountains, and I stayed the night" and i said "What?! Why|?" and he said "I just had to channel the energy, and it was pretty spooky up there." We were shooting in Romania, Transylvania, and he just went up there to spend the night, as you do.

And then he walked away.

True story.
