Cannes 2010 lineup revealed Posted: 15 Apr 2010 08:31 AM PDT The Cannes Film Festival announced a lineup that includes a number of U.S. and celebrity-heavy films while also keeping its traditional focus on international auteurs.

Two 'Idol' hopefuls deprived of hope -- and Adam Lambert sings! Posted: 14 Apr 2010 11:00 PM PDT Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens are eliminated, and it's no real surprise, but Glambert's performance showcased how sleepy things are this season.

Coachella is sweet music to promoters Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT The rock festival thrives as other parts of the music industry falter. The big question heading into last year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival was whether the event would survive the recession. This year, the only question was how fast it would sell out.

At MOCA: Dennis Hopper curated by Julian Schnabel Posted: 15 Apr 2010 07:29 AM PDT Jeffrey Deitch has scheduled his first exhibition as the incoming director of the Museum of Contemporary Art.

PREACH IT! Kate Gosselin's 'DWTS' trauma: She does it for the kids Posted: 15 Apr 2010 09:12 AM PDT It s ridiculous to believe that Gosselin absolutely must glide around with some guy in tight pants if she wants to avoid a homeless shelter.

Word of Mouth: 'Death at a Funeral' hopes for crossover appeal Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT The comedy with a primarily black cast may have trouble drawing a white audience, audience tracking surveys show.

'Kick-Ass' director: 'This movie has broken every rule' Posted: 14 Apr 2010 05:31 PM PDT The film is a black comedy but there's a dash of the creepy vigilante fantasy, and it is stirring controversy because of a young female actress presented in a lurid role.

'Idol's' Top 9 share their favorite Adam Lambert moments Posted: 14 Apr 2010 10:56 PM PDT Be it from last year's "American Idol," his career since or their Vegas experience with the season 8 runner-up as their mentor, most answered.

Zoë Saldaña's busy spring Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT The actress, fresh off of ‘Star Trek' and ‘Avatar,' makes the rounds for ‘Death at a Funeral' and ‘The Losers.' This is how it is for Zoë Saldaña these days: After making "Star Trek," "Avatar" and the soon-to-be-released comic-book actioner "The Losers," her version of a down-scale project is the remake of the modest British comedy "Death at a Funeral," starring some of the biggest names in comedy — Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Columbus Short, James Marsden and Danny Glover, and directed by Neil LaBute.

'Oprah' captures a complex personality and life Posted: 15 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT The unauthorized biography by Kitty Kelley traces the rise of Oprah Winfrey, including her upbringing, career, romances and causes, which all highlight her charms and contradictions. In the 24 years she's been the queen of TV talk shows, Oprah Winfrey has tackled every conceivable subject. Whether a transgender male giving birth or teachers sleeping with their students, nothing is too outrageous for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and its 7 million daily U.S. viewers.
