Bobby Sharfran is now in his late fifties and seems like an ordinary guy. However, the story he hides has recently become the subject of a critically-acclaimed documentary called Three identical Strangers. It all began back in 1980 when, the 19-year old was preparing to enter community college in New York. He was shocked to witness all the students calling him Eddy. In fact, Eddy Galland was another student at the college who turned out to be Bobby’s identical twin brother. They never knew about each other because they were separated at birth.

More than this, soon, a third identical brother appeared, David Kellman. They were once adopted by different families and they soon found themselves surrounded by local fame. However, things were soon about to get a dark twist. British director Tom Wardle helmed the new documentary which tells the entire story of these triplets. Cameras loved the three boys, with their curly dark hair, big brown eyes and big smiles. However, they were forced to show up wearing the same clothes, make the same moves, and even confess about having the same taste in women. But life went on, they got married, and even opened a restaurant together. They were still enjoying fame.

The documentary follows the classic recipe and contains home-made movies, re-enactments, testimonies, and the presence of two of the brothers. It turned out that the boys were actually used as guinea pigs for a study of nature versus nurture. Their identities and triplet status were concealed from their adoptive families. But nobody can pay now because the adoption agency does not exist anymore.

The conclusion is dark, and we soon find out that one of the brothers is now forever gone. It seems that their past in different families and the different ways in which they were cared for made them completely unique. However, trying to force something that it’s not there cannot end well. And it didn’t.

Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio decided that it was time to reveal the very first look at his and Brad Pitt’s 1960s attire in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming movie called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. On Wednesday, the actor unveiled the first official photo from the movie on his official Instagram account. In the photo, the two actors are leaning against some columns and wear very colorful 1960s clothes. The movie will follow fading TV actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Pitt) as they are struggling to make it big in Hollywood.

The action takes place in southern California in the late ‘60s against the backdrop of the infamous Charles Manson murders. For Dalton, everything will take an unexpected turn as one of those murders happens right next door, where one of Manson’s most famous victims, actress and director Roman Polanski’s wife Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) lives. The movie rounds up an impressive cast. Apart from DiCaprio, Pitt and Robbie, Al Pacino Burt Reynolds, Dakota Fanning, Emile Hirsch, James Marsden and Timothy Olyphant also star, among others. Fanning will play Manson family associate Lynette Fromme, also called Squeaky.

A post shared by Leonardo DiCaprio (@leonardodicaprio) on Jun 27, 2018 at 6:00am PDT

The movie is scheduled for an August 9, 2019 release, which will be the 50^th anniversary of the infamous crimes that the Manson family committed. It will also be Tarantino’s eighth movie in total and only the first as director since releasing The Hateful Eight, back in 2015. The industry expects this to be on of Quentin Tarantino’s final movies. If we are to believe what he said, he wishes to retire after helming ten features. This might be his penultimate one and nobody knows if a final one will follow.

Academy Award-winner Jared Leto has reportedly signed on to portray Morbius the Living Vampire. This character, considered by many more of an anti-hero, is Sony’s latest entry into its Spider-Man-centric universe and characters, all from Marvel. So, it seems that after playing the Batman villain Joker in Suicide Squad, and possibly portraying him once again in a solo movie, Leto will return to his fascination with comic book characters. Daniel Espinosa will direct the upcoming movie, the same filmmaker that also heled Safe House and Life. It seems that Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama wrote the script. The duo has also created Netflix’s Lost in Space remake.

But if you are wondering who this Morbius actually is, you are not the only one. In fact, he is more of an antihero and initially, a villain for Spider-Man. With the title of Morbius the Living Vampire, he is actually Dr. Michael Morbius. He was a brilliant scientist who suffered from a very rare blood disease. When he tried to cure himself, the results were disastrous. The story might sound familiar, so are the powers that the doctor obtained from this accident.

Jared Leto to portray Morbius the Living Vampire

A condition that’s very similar to vampirism affected the doctor after he tried to cure himself. He is thirsty for blood, has super strength and agility, and vampire-like fangs. He initially fought Spider-Man in 1971’s The Amazing Spider-Man no.101, the first issue which Marvel creator Stan Lee didn’t write. However, over the years, Morbius got a fame of his own and became some kind of heroic figure. He even had his own comic book titles.

As for Jared Leto, this is an unexpected step from him, taking into account that he only preferred indie movies recently. Apart from Joker, he also played a villain in Blade Runner 2049 and is scheduled to appear in a future Tron sequel.

According to reports, it seems that actor Toby Kebbell has joined the cast of the upcoming superhero movie Bloodshot, starring Vin Diesel, Michael Sheen, Talulah Riley and Sam Heughan, among others. The Warcraft actor will reportedly portray the main villain of the movie, Axe. Principal photography on the movie will begin in July and will mark the first time that Vin Diesel will star in a live-action superhero movie. He previously borrowed his voice to the character of Groot in the Guardians of the Galaxy series and Avengers: Infinity War.

Apart from this, the movie will also reunite Diesel with Fast and Furious producer Neal Moritz. It’s the first time the two will collaborate outside the world-famous franchise. The director will be Dave Wilson, Tim miller’s partner, who directed box-office hit Deadpool. At the moment, nobody knows when the superhero flick is scheduled for release. It’s worth noting that the Bloodshot comic book series was created by Kevin Van Hook, Don Perlin and Bob Layton, back in 1992 at publisher Valiant.

Toby Kebbell joins Vin Diesel for Bloodshot

The story of Bloodshot follows a mortally wounded soldier who was resurrected and saved by an incredible and cutting-edge nanotechnology. Soon, his task will be to find and gather outcasts with huge super powers called harbingers”. Not many people may know that Bloodshot was an incredibly successful comic book series, with 110 issues and over 7.5 million copies sold.

As for Valiant, its intellectual property is like an undiscovered well of wonders. It has over 2,000 superhero characters, each with their unique stories and powers. In fact, it is the third largest superhero library, only behind Marvel and DC Comics. Also, it’s the only one that no major company owns, for now. As for its comic books, they are the best reviewed of the past five years, beating other more famous competitors.

On Monday, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially announced a record-breaking number of new members. This recent move is part of the organization’s 2016 plans to double the number of non-white and female members. In total, 928 invitees were announced, and some names surprised a lot of people. Some were surprising because most thought that they were already members, while others were surprising because they seemed unlikely to be invited. One of the clearest examples is filmmaker Michel Gondry, an Academy Award-winner for co-writing 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He was among the people who were invited this year.

Another important example is Jonathan Nolan who, along with his brother Christopher Nolan, earned an Oscar nomination for 2000’s Memento. The Academy somehow ignored him, even if he earned praise for the incredible scripts he wrote for The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar. But then there are the names that not many people thought would get an invite. Acclaimed British writer and Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling got one, even if she only produced one screenplay. That was 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

New Academy members finally announced

However, even if somehow surprising, most of these invites were waiting to be happening. But the one involving rapper Kendrick Lamar seemed a bit out of the blue. There is no question that he has won almost every major music award out there, including a Pulitzer Prize for his last album called DAMN. But apart from the critically-acclaimed Black Panther soundtrack, his Hollywood resume is quite thin.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke also got an invite, even if her work in movies has not really been the most outstanding. Among other names that were invited are Jada Pinkett Smith, Miles Teller, Amy Schumer, and Lena Headey.

According to some reports, it seems that actress Heather Locklear was arrested once again on Sunday for alleged battery on emergency personnel. This incident comes only two months after she pleaded not guilty of battery on a peace officer that time. This happened on a different occasion. It seems that two separate calls were made to her residence in Thousand Oaks, California. Sheriff’s deputies reportedly answered the first call at about 6pm local time, for a disturbance. Finally, they determined that no crime had been committed at the site.

After that, a second call was made at around 11pm local time. When deputies finally arrived at the scene, they found Locklear and another party involved in a domestic disturbance. While analyzing the situation, the actress, who is best known for her roles in shows like Melrose Place or Dynasty, kicked one of the deputies in the leg. According to official descriptions, the actress was extremely intoxicated and not at all cooperative with the authorities. The deputies finally managed to handcuff her and take her into custody.

Actress Heather Locklear arrested one more time

Apart from these incidents, another one took place after the authorities took her into custody. Because she was in such a severe state of intoxication, some doctors needed to check her before going to jail. However, when the time came, Locklear attacked one of the doctors and kicked the person in the chest while they were checking her state.

A nearby hospital finally managed to evaluate her and the actress was taken to jail and booked. Authorities have set her bail at $20,000. Meanwhile, it seems that representatives for Locklear failed to answer any requests for comment on this situation. It’s worth noting that back in April, the actress pleaded not guilty on two counts of battery on a peace officer. Another incident took place in February and she was arrested following a domestic violence call at her home.

It seems that when love is born in Westeros, love cannot be defeated. Just ask newlyweds Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who, after playing each other’s love interests in HBO’s Game of Thrones, became a real-life couple too. On Saturday, Leslie, who famously played the role of Ygritte until she was killed off, and Harington, who will continue to reprise his role as Jon Snow until the show’s final season which airs next year, officially tied the knot. The happy event took place at Rayne Church in Aberdeen, which is Scotland’s third biggest city.

But apart from keeping their eyes on the happy couple, fans of the hugely popular show were also on the lookout for their guests. The list included a large majority of their co-stars. Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Emmy-award winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), and Richard Madden (Robb Stark), among others, joined them at the event. Clarke plays the current love interest of Kit’s character Jon Snow on Game of Thrones. According to witnesses, the ceremony was gorgeous and very intimate, just how the two wanted it to be.

Leslie came back to her native Scotland to say her vows and wore a beautiful, long sleeved gown mostly made out of lace. She had a very classic look, with flowers in her hair and a long and flowy veil. Harington also looked very handsome in his suit that included a cream vest and striped pants.

The two met back in 2012 on the set of Game of Thrones and dated discreetly for a few years. At one point, they briefly went their separate ways, but found their way back to each other. They announced their engagement in September 2017, in The Times of London.

Everybody knows that it takes a lot to make rapper Kanye West smile with all his heart. However, it seems that he doesn’t have any problem to cry when it comes to some of his closest people. On Thursday, he and wife Kim Kardashian West attended the Louis Vuitton fashion show which was the debut of the spring 2019 menswear collection. The event took place in the garden of the Palais-Royal, during Paris Men’s Fashion Week. The reason for Kanye’s emotional burst was the success of his longtime friend and former creative director Virgil Abloh.

Louis Vuitton recently hired him to be the new menswear artistic director. Apart from being a big step forward for him, Abloh is also the first African-American person to hold this title. This made his inaugural show, which Kanye attended, a very emotional moment. There were also a lot of other famous guests, including Rihanna and Kylie Jenner with Travis Scott. Towards the end of the show, Abloh walked down the green runway to thank everyone and pointed to West. They both hugged and started sobbing as people around filmed the emotional moment.

It’s worth noting that the fashion show also featured the song I Thought About Killing You off Kanye West’s new album called Ye, and his collaborator and friend, Kid Cudi, walked the runway as a model. West met Abloh back in the 2000s and have been close friends and creative collaborators ever since. In 2009, Abloh became the creative director of West’s company DONDA. He is also the art director for West’s album Watch the Throne, which earned him a nomination at the Grammys.

Even if at first West didn’t know what to think about Abloh leaving him to work at Louis Vuitton, he then called what happened validation. He is reportedly now proud that someone that has worked with him since the beginning is the head at Louis Vuitton.

A lot of celebrities have been very outspoken about the current problem of immigrant children. Thousands of kids get separated from their families and being placed in detention centers. Because of this, Hollywood has taken a stance against United States President Donald Trump’s immigration ban. From spreading the word to their millions of followers n social media platforms, to really taking action and doing something about this pressing issue, almost every famous face out there has helped in one way or another.

Actor George Clooney and his wife Amal have recently joined their ranks. He has just announced through an official statement that they have donated $100,000 from the Clooney Foundation for Justice to help the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights. This human rights organization has been leading an ongoing fight against immigration and has been trying to protect migrant children when they’re being separated from their families at the border. According to the statement from the Clooney family, everyone who doesn’t take action against this issue needs to ask themselves what they’ll answer their ow children when they’ll ask about the past. In the future, they will wonder whether or not the country really did take babies from their mothers and put them in detention centers.

George and Amal Clooney donate for the migrant children’s cause

So, when in the future the answer to their question will be “yes”, they will ask people how they fought against it. Fighting for this cause now will make future children proud of their parents and grandparents. They will know that we fought and did everything we could to stop this. According to Clooney, even if the current administration’s policy cannot be changed, people from all over the world can defend its victims.

This is not the first time that the Clooneys have donated big for a cause. Back in February, they donated $500,000 to help organize the famous March for Our Lives.

According to what actress Amy Adams recently revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, it seems that she went to great lengths just to stop certain unwanted advances from men in the industry. She says that most women have experienced some sort of sexual harassment in their lives, even if it’s just the fear of rejecting someone. Most women apologize and blame themselves for possibly sending out the wrong signal. In fact, most women don’t do that, but certain people just won’t take no for an answer. They suddenly feel that unsafety and fear.

It seems that for Amy things got so bad that she only started accepting certain kinds of roles. So, she started playing nuns and virgins in the hope that she might feel safer in her own skin. Adams has been married to Darren Le Gallo since 2015. Back in 2007, she played a virgin princess in Enchanted and in 2008, she played a nun in Doubt. It seems that back then, she was sick of putting up with various kinds of advances from men and she took a different path in her career.

Amy Adams discusses sexual harassment and how it changed her perspective

Most people have noticed that the Arrival actress has not been too vocal when it came to anti-harassment movements like #MeToo or the Time’s Up movement. She says that she would rather focus on the future generations and try to change their mentalities. Her colleagues in the industry now already have a mindset and that might not change too soon. They also have a large platform to make their voice heard, so they don’t need any help.

She offered the example of actress and Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence. She says that she doesn’t need anyone’s voice to be heard or talk about pay disparity. So, Adams chose to focus on being the voice of people who don’t have one.

The musical trilogy that Beyonce and Jay-Z (aka The Carters) have gifted us with has apparently ended with their most recent joint album which dropped on Saturday called Everything is Love. This series started back in 2016 with Beyonce’s highly-successful Lemonade, in which she talked about her husband’s infidelity. It then continued with Jay-Z’s own album called 4:44, which he released last summer and in which he reveals his side of the story. One thing is clear. This long-anticipated joint album coming from the music industry’s most powerful couple speaks of love, redemption, equality, forgiveness and marriage.

It’s very interesting that the album is credited as “The Carters”, which could mean that the two also refer to their children, who get numerous mentions throughout the album. Between some tracks, their eldest Blue Ivy shouts out to her younger siblings, twins Rumi and Sir. In fact, the concept of familial parity is present throughout the entire album. The twins are part of the album’s visuals, the first video off the album, Apeshit, and even of the vocals. But still, is Everything is Love a good album overall?

Beyonce and Jay-Z drop album as The Carters

According to industry experts, Everything is Love is a qualitative album overall, but not the best one from either Bey or Jay-Z. It’s no secret that both of them, as artists, have very high standards. This means that both melodically and lyrically, the album doesn’t disappoint. They collaborated with both familiar names, like Pharrell, and newcomers, like Vory.

And if Jay-Z’s rapping is an already-established standard, Beyonce tries a lot of new things on this album. She raps a lot more than ever before, and even singing with autotune to alter her voice and offer a different vibe to certain songs. All in all, there are a lot of styles on this album which will certainly please a wide range of people and tastes. However, this doesn’t make it one of the best albums of all time.

This weekend, the newly-renamed MTV Movie & TV Awards took place at Santa Monica Airport’s Barker Hangar and brought together the biggest stars from a wide range of domains, like movies, TV shows, and music. Tiffany Haddish hosted the big event and even went home with two golden popcorn trophies herself for her amazing comedic performance in Girls Trip: Best Comedic Performance and Scene Stealer. As for the nominees, Netflix’s worldwide phenomenon Stranger Things and Marvel’s incredibly successful and groundbreaking superhero movie Black Panther led the pack, with seven nominations each.

There were 14 categories from which the winners were chosen. The event also featured a number of incredible performances from Chloe x Halle, who are going to open for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s On The Road II tour this summer. Nick Jonas also performed in a duet with Mustard. Some of the night’s special award went to Lena Waithe, the Emmy-winning writer, and actor Chris Pratt. After recently experimenting with genderless categories, the event abandoned them for good. Four of the five Best Performance in a Show nominees were female, while two of the five nominees in the Best Performance in a Movie category were also female.

Who won at MTV Movie & TV Awards

Marvel’s Black Panther won in the Best Movie category, and some of the stars present to receive the award said that this was not a movie for black people, but a movie for everybody. Its main star, actor Chadwick Boseman, also took home the Best Performance in a Movie award and the Best Hero award. The movie’s villain, played by Michael B. Jordan, was awarded the Best Villain golden popcorn.

Stranger Things took home the Best Show award, along with its main star, Millie Bobby Brown, who won the Best Performance in a Show award. The Best On-Screen Team award went to the IT Losers Club, while the Best Fight golden popcorn was won by the Wonder Woman versus the German soldiers scene from her incredibly-successful solo movie.
