Robert Swan, an actor familiar from sometimes brief but noticeable roles in Hoosiers, Rudy, The Untouchables and The Babe, died of cancer today at his home in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. He was 78.

His death was announced by his friend Betty Hoeffner in a Facebook post.

Perhaps best known for his role as an assistant to Gene Hackman’s high school basketball coach in director David Anspaugh’s 1986 sports drama Hoosiers, Swan also featured as a priest in Anspaugh’s 1993 Rudy starring Sean Astin.

Making his feature debut portraying a stagehand in 1980’s Somewhere in Time, Swan frequently appeared on both TV and in film over the next two decades, with roles in the 1984 TV-movie The Dollmaker starring Jane Fonda and in series including All My Children, The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, Walking Tall, The Twilight Zone and Spencer For Hire.

On the big screen, he portrayed a biker in Doctor Detroit...

Robert Swan, the veteran character actor who appeared in key roles in the notable sports films Hoosiers, Rudy and The Babe, has died. He was 78.

Swan died Wednesday after a long battle with cancer at his home in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, his friend Betty Hoeffner told The Hollywood Reporter.

Swan also portrayed a Canadian Mountie in Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables (1987) and a bloodied deputy in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers (1994) and was other lawmen in Who’s That Girl (1987) and Mo’ Money (1992).

In Hoosiers (1986), his character, the Indiana farmer Rollin Butcher, has two sons on the Hickory High School basketball team, and he’s one of the few people in town to welcome new coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman). Later, he joins Coach Dale on the bench as a Huskers’ assistant.

Swan then reunited with Hoosiers director David Anspaugh to play a priest in another classic underdog sports flick,...

If you’re wondering what’s new on Amazon Prime Video in June, the answer is a lot. The streamer has a solid slate of movies heading into summer 2023. From the first two “Creed” films to “Love, Rosie,” “Yours, Mine & Ours” and other clever romantic comedies, the streamer has a range of options for viewers with different tastes. Newer theatrical releases arriving on the streamer in June include “TÁR,” “Armageddon Time,” and “M3GAN.”

TV premieres to look forward to include Boots Riley’s “I’m A Virgo” and the fourth and final season of John Krasinski’s “Jack Ryan.” “Crazy Rich Asians” arrives early in June, followed by “Interstellar” for all Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey lovers. Even though “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” doesn’t release in theaters until November, all four “Hunger Games” films land on Prime Video this June. Perfect timing — maybe even with a reread...

With its list of new releases for June 2023, Prime is bringing a handful of Amazon Originals and many recent movie hits to the fold.

It’s actually quite a busy month for non-American programming in Amazon Originals department. Shows and movies like Deadloch, My Fault, and Medellín all originate from outside the U.S. and U.K. For the American and British crowd, however, the streamer is debuting two big tentpoles.

The first is I’m a Virgo on June 23. Acclaimed director Boots Riley’s TV followup to Sorry to Bother You will tale the surreal and satirical tale of a giant in Oakland. That will be followed by the more conventional (assumedly) fourth season of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan on June 30.

The real fireworks this month come from a ludicrously deep bench of library TV and movie titles. Give them a look for yourself below but if we were to highlight just a few,...

The fourth and final season of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” arrives on Prime Video on June 30. It finds Ryan — now the new acting CIA director — unearthing internal corruption and suspicious black ops that leaves the United States vulnerable to attack. John Krasinski stars as the tough-as-nails Ryan.

Watch the “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” trailer:

“Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” is a new docuseries that reveals the truth behind the myth of the wholesome religious family and their involvement with the predatory Bill Gothard and The Institute in Basic Life Principles. The organization’s abusive practices — and the insidious long political game it plays — is revealed on June 2. The Duggars and their 19 “happy” kids are exposed as frauds, while also being manipulated by Gothard and enduring the scandal of Josh, their sexually abusive son.

Check out the “Shiny Happy People” trailer:

There are diverse streaming releases slates and then there is Hulu’s list of new releases for May 2022. There are no big franchises here, no big themes – just a whole bunch of original and library titles for everyone to enjoy.

Hulu’s major original releases in May come in the middle of the month. Candy premieres on May 9 and stars Jessica Biel as your friendly neighborhood axe murderer. If that sounds a bit outlandish, bear in mind that this limited series is based on the real life story of Candy Montgomery and her victim, the tragically named Betty Gore. On May 15, Hulu will play host to Conversations with Friends. This is the latest adaptation of the works of Sally Rooney. After the breakaway success of Normal People, Hulu is undoubtedly hoping for more lightning in a bottle.

On the movie side of things, May will welcome The Valet on May...

Damon Wayans (Fox’s Lethal Weapon) and Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) have signed on to star alongside Hailey Kilgore, David Iacono and Jeremie Harris in the noir thriller Cinnamon, which will debut exclusively on Fox’s free streaming service, Tubi, later this year.

The film currently in production in Atlanta follows a struggling small-town gas station attendant and aspiring singer, Jodi Jackson (Kilgore), whose life is sent into a tailspin when there’s a robbery at work. As previously announced, Iacono is playing Jodi’s fiercely devoted hustler boyfriend turned music manager, Eddie, with Harris as James Walker, a young gangster in the drug running business.

Grier will play Mama, the undisputed head of her family’s criminal organization, whose son James executes her wishes. Wayans will portray Wally, the owner of the convenience store that gets robbed. He’s a businessman who also owns a used car lot that...

Exclusive: Stacey Dash, star of the Clueless film and spinoff TV series, is searching for redemption in a new reality series.

Dash is to star in A New Thing – with Stacey Dash, which will follow her as she ditches L.A. for New Hampshire in pursuit of her reinvention as an interior designer at Debbe Daley Designs.

The series, which is in pre-production and is being shopped to broadcasters and streamers, comes from Michael Holstein and The Content Farm.

It will follow Dash’s struggles and successes, documenting her return to the public eye after being dismissed as a polarizing, outspoken conservative.

Dash, who also starred in Moving, Mo’ Money, Renaissance Man and View from the Top as well as on CSI and The Game, is a rare right winger in the entertainment business. She was hired as a contributor to Fox News in 2014 and publicly supported Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential candidacy.

When Bosch first premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2014, the streaming world was in a very different place. Netflix had only House of Cards and Orange is the New Black under its belt. Hulu was still a joint venture owned by multiple conglomerates. Disney , HBO Max, and Peacock didn’t even exist. Now, in June 2021, Amazon Prime’s list of new releases is highlighted by one last outing for LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.

Bosch season 7 premieres on June 25. This will be the last batch of episodes for the series, before a spinoff gets rolling for IMDb TV. For those who are not caught up on the sprawling procedural, Amazon has some other original TV series this month as well. Brazilian crime drama Dom premieres on June 4. That will be followed by the second season of the Anna Paquin-starring public relations drama Flack on June 25.

Scorsese In Stockholm

Martin Scorsese made an appearance at Sweden’s Stockholm International Film Festival this weekend to receive the event’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Presented with the prize remotely due to ongoing pandemic restrictions, the filmmaker said that he had always had a “real love” for the country’s films. “I want to thank the Stockholm International Film Festival for this because the Swedish cinema has been such an extraordinary factor in world cinema going back to the silent period and until today. And it continues with wonderful filmmakers, restorations that keeps coming out from the 1930s and 40s so it’s quite extraordinary and I’ve always felt more than a connection, a real love for the Swedish cinema and the Swedish filmmakers. So this is very special to me. I thank you so much and as I say maybe one day I can finally get there,” he said.

Hulu have a whole host of new titles coming to the service this month, everything from zombie thrillers and screwball comedies to action romps and music documentaries.

There are a lot of popular streaming platforms to choose from, but Hulu has always stood alongside Netflix as one of the two essentials for households looking for diversity in content. In the past, they’ve been known for focusing more heavily on newer television content, while Netflix has always offered a larger selection of sought-after films. But now, it looks like Hulu’s June lineup is only going to continue the service’s recent trend of providing high quality movies to bring itself in line with their competitor.

First up, you can get wholesome with Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which tells the story of an investigative journalist who learns some hard life lessons from one of television’s most beloved personalities. You can then supplement that wholesomeness with My Girl and My Girl 2 for some wonderful 90s nostalgia.

Speaking of nostalgia, you won...

June 2020 is set to be a big month for the whole streaming Disney family. Not only will ESPN have the entirety of The Last Dance on its servers for late-adopting sports fans to catch up with, but Disney will be premiering its long-awaited Artemis Fowl film. Over on its biggest streaming service in Hulu, however, Disney is taking things a bit more slowly.

This month finds only three major original releases for Hulu. Animated medieval comedy Crossing Swords premieres on June 12, then Ya love story Love Victor and cooking show Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi both arrive on June 19. All in all, that’s not a bad haul for originals for the typically slow summer months.

June 1 sees a pretty impressive crop of movies coming to Hulu’s library as well. October Sky, The X-Files (1998), and Casino will all be ready to stream at the beginning of the month.

Today is March 1st, which means we have a whole new set of titles to tell you about that just dropped on Netflix. The streaming service has 54 new movies/TV shows from nearly every major studio, including Warner Bros., Paramount and Sony, and while that number is still ten less than what we got last March, there’s far more original content on the service than there was a year ago. So, trust me when I say you’ve got plenty of options.

So many options, in fact, that I often find myself browsing for so long that I can’t decide on what to watch until it gets too late and I go to bed instead. First world problems, right?

In any case, below you’ll find the full list as well as a few descriptions of some personal favorites. Or some that I just felt like commenting on.

Cookie would be proud of Taraji P. Henson's high school senior photo.

The Empire star shared an epic #Tbt on Instagram from her senior year on Thursday. In the pic, the actress is seen with big hair, white-framed glasses, over sized gold hoop earrings and a white jacket.

Pitman sued the Gnr singer claiming he was owed $163,000 for his services from a few years back. He says Axl had promised to pay once he had more cash flow, but didn't make the 2012 deadline.

Damon Wayans was the second major cast member from "In Living Color" to leave the show, after Kim Coles. He departed following the third season to pursue a big screen career, starring in films like "The Last Boy Scout," "Blankman" and "Major Payne." But during his time with the show, he left an unmistakable signature that can be felt across a number of colorful characters. Think of "In Living Color" and you're bound to have the image of an angry, put-upon clown flash through your head (Homey D. Clown), or perhaps a pair of flamboyant critics giving the weekend's latest release "two snaps up" ("Men On…"). These were some of Wayans' trademark sketches, coming at a time when, as he says in our extended feature on the series' 25th anniversary, he was eager for redemption after being fired from "Saturday Night Live." Here are the beginnings and inspirations for those sketches and more,...

What do Evan Turner's Ferrari and the Indiana Pacers season have in common? They both ran out of gas before they reached the finish line. A video posted by a friend of Turner's shows the former Buckeye stranded in the middle of the freeway, gassing up while his girl texted away her embarrassment. Check out the video, Turner seems to be handling the situation pretty well,  not even reacting to the good-natured ribbing his boy was giving him.

Marlon Wayans' career is shockingly diverse, considering he's been in everything from "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" and "Mo' Money" to "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Ladykillers." But he's back to his old insane comic stylings in "A Haunted House 2," a spoof of horror movies like "The Conjuring," and that means he's plenty vulgar, plenty weird, and plenty naked, actually.  We caught up with Wayans (who is only 41 even though he's been famous for 20 years) to discuss making child actors say vulgar things, writing nude scenes for himself, and why dramatic movies are much easier to film than comedies. ...

You could say that Miley Cyrus came in like a wrecking ball this year: when she wasn't getting tattooed, twerking on bears (and Robin Thicke), and smoking a blunt on stage, Miley was making insanely candid comments in magazines and interviews. This week, the singer opened up to The New York Times about her transformation from Hannah Montana to twerk-tacular pop sensation - and the quotes are pretty intense. Read them below, along with more Miley quotes that made us laugh, made us think, and had us asking, "Wtf?"

The tension was so thick on Grey's Anatomy this week, you could cut it with a scalpel.

"Hard Bargain," complete with extra drama-inducing rain, was not an episode overly filled with joy, miracles or ping pong tournaments. Rather, the stress surrounding the hospital buyout continued to push the doctors closer to the proverbial edge, leading toward a final decision that's bound to have major consequences.

Remember when the survivors found out they won $15 million a piece and Cristina jokingly said, "Mo' money, mo' problems?" Her words couldn't have been more true.

After all, the entire predicament of the hospital is based off the fact that it couldn't afford to pay off the survivors in the first place... leading to the need for new ownership to keep the place running. So what do they want to do with their newfound money? Buy the hospital!

It's a weird circle of life, right?...

With Michael Bay busy testing young hotties to join "Transformers 4," and weaving Mark Wahlberg into the story, it looks like he's finding a way to set the story in China. Nope, it's not for creative reasons, it's for the bottom line. Mo' money, mo' problems. Vulture reports that Bay and Paramount are looking at mainland China to serve as the backdrop for the next film in order to help with the all-important international box office. Essentially it works like this: set your movie in China and work with a local production company, and the odds are you'll get preferential treatment. If you don't? Well, at the end of August this year "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight Rises" both opened on the same weekend in China, effectively crippling both movies in terms of what they could have made if they had weekends to themselves. But getting your movie...

Mo' money, mo' problems?

Britney Spears is estimated by some to be worth approximately $200 million -- that's money she's earned from the seven chart-topping albums, touring for close to 15 years, signing oodles of endorsement deals, and hawking10 of her very own fragrances.

Over the years, Spears has amassed a huge fortune, so it's no wonder her conservators keep the pop star, who is an undeniable cash cow for everyone involved with her career, on such a short leash.

TMZ has obtained new documents from the singer's conservatorship case, dated Dec. 31, 2010, that show her assets totalled $32,376,140.90 -- but sources say that figure doesn't even include a number of valuable assets.

Since 2010, Spears has gone on to pull in some serious money, as her most recent world tour made $68 million, and is reported to have landed a $15 million contract as a judge on "X Factor."

Like many A-listers, Spears owns numerous properties...

Mo' money, mo' problems? Deep-pocketed hedge-fund whiz Richard Gere in Arbitrage has managed to coast on his outrageous fortune for a long time, but now, all those problems are catching up with him. It's bad enough that his wife (Susan Sarandon) and daughter (Brit Marling) are starting to wake up to his fraud, but after Gere accidentally crashes his car and kills his mistress ... well, that doesn't help matters very much, does it? The tightly plotted Arbitrage went over well at Sundance, where Gere's performance was acclaimed as one of his best ever, and for good reason: It's hard to root for a super-rich bastard to get away with (literal) murder, but as Gere just barely squirms his way through another jam, you almost want him to.

Well hello there! Welcome to this week's installment of The Ae Movie Club, the most thrilling celebration of Hollywood since the last scene of Day of the Locust. (Look it up, watch it, and wonder how you ever got along without it.)

It may be the dead of winter (though you'd never know it from the weather in New York), but things are thankfully starting to warm up on the movie front after the traditionally dull month of January (aka Major Studio Dumping Month). So that means you only have a few more weeks to catch up on all the Oscar contenders and last season of Downton Abbey before the cineplexes are once again in full swing. So - as a gay farmer might say, "Make heyyyyyyyy while the sun shines."

Mo' money, mo' problems? Maybe for taxpayers. "The bottom line is, the police department should treat everybody exactly the same. If you don't get a police escort, P. Diddy shouldn't," New York City Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday upon hearing that the NYPD provided an escort for Sean "Diddy" Combs last week following his show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The to-do over Diddy's special treatment comes on the heels of an investigation as to why Washington, D.C., cops just did the same for Charlie Sheen.

Michael Jackson in the video for "Hold My Hand"

Photo: Sony Music Entertainment

On Thursday (December 9), the late, great Michael Jackson returned to the music-video world with "Hold My Hand," a clip from the upcoming Michael album, which pairs his vocals with production work from some of today's top producers.

And much like that album, the "Hold My Hand" video is very much a retrospective affair, loaded with triumphant Mj performance footage and uplifting imagery (smiling children, sunrises, bright blue skies), not to mention a whole lot of Akon. And while fans can debate whether the clip is a worthy addition to the King of Pop's massive music-video legacy, it certainly carries on the tradition of the posthumous video, a rather ignominious — and incredibly profitable — wing of the music-industry machine.

"DJ Hero 2" has entered the last leg of its path toward an October 19 release date, and though they've revealed 105 tracks that will appear featuring talent like DJ Qbert and DJ Shadow, FreeStyleGames had not yet named what the sequel's mix list would include. That's all changed now, however, and they've even grouped the combos and re-styled singles by producer.

"Whether it's Pussycat Dolls Mixed With Pitbull, 2Pac Mixed With B.o.B., or a all-new remix of a Daft Punk anthem, in 'DJ Hero 2' we have created 83 mixes that are not only incredibly fun to play, but will allow everyone to experience the music they know and love in an all-new way," FreeStyleGames music director Dan Neil said in a press release. "The amazing soundtrack, coupled with the new social gameplay modes and all-new levels of creative freedom, make 'DJ Hero 2' the ultimate interactive music experience."

Here's what...

All of that "DJ Hero 2" chatter about DJ Qbert, David Guetta, DJ Shadow and RZA turned out to be based on facts, as Activision has released the names of 105 tracks from the new game, and they all appear on it. So do 2Pac, 50 Cent, Justice, Eminem, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and lots of other artists you should recognize. You can peruse the whole rundown after the jump.

"The individual songs that have been mixed into the DJ Hero 2 soundtrack have been viewed online more than 1.5 billion times, which really speaks volumes to both the size and scope of our music," FreeStyleGames music director Dan Neil said in a press release. "Working with some of the best DJs in the world, we were able to take this amazing collection of the biggest pop, hip-hop and dance hits, and with some turntable magic, craft the best soundtrack in entertainment."

Always up for entertaining a crowd, Sean "Diddy" Combs performed on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series in Central Park on Friday (June 4).

The hip hop mogul took the gig as he's hot on the promotional trail - with a new film, "Get Him to the Greek," and album, Last Train to Paris, both to be released this month.

As for the Gma gig, Diddy was in high spirits as he told the amassed onlookers, "I wanna thank y'all for coming out, New York. I know you got work [to go to]."

After churning out his latest single, "Hello, Good Morning," Combs then busted into a medley of his past hits including "Last Night," "All About the Benjamins" and "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems."...

New York — Diddy is a pretty busy guy these days, as he simultaneously promotes his new film, "Get Him to the Greek," and his forthcoming album, Last Train to Paris.

But the multi-hyphenate entertainer still has more energy than most, as he showed when he and his Diddy-Dirty Money collective took to the stage early Friday morning (June 4) for the "Good Morning America" Summer Concert Series in Manhattan's Central Park.

"I wanna thank y'all for coming out, New York," Diddy told the gathered crowd during a commercial break. "I know you got work [to go to]."

The Bad Boy Records mogul performed his latest single, "Hello, Good Morning," sans featured guests Rick Ross and T.I. Backed by Dawn Richards and Kaleena, Diddy was upbeat and energetic at...

Since Sundance, Mo'Nique has been seen as a mortal lock to earn a supporting actress nomination for her harrowing performance in Precious. Unfortunately, that's also the last time she promoted the movie, and the film's had several high-profile festival bows since. Roger Friedman alleges that the actress won't show up for the film unless she's getting paid, and is cycling through publicists who throw up their hands at that somewhat unconventional awards season strategy. Mo', when you're in a film with Mariah Carey and you're being called the diva, things may have gone a little awry. [Showbiz 411]...

The industry lost three notables in the past few days - Bernie Mac, Bernie Brillstein and Isaac Hayes. Actor/comedian Bernie Mac died Saturday at age 50 from complications associated with pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. Born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough on October 5, 1957, Bernie grew up poor in Chicago's South Side living with his mother and grandparents. Despite doing stand-up comedy since he was a child, Bernie got his first big break landing a small role in the 1992 comedy Mo' Money with Damon Wayans. Thereafter, Bernie appeared in numerous hit films including Spike Lee's 1996 Get on the Bus, the Ocean's Eleven franchise and the 2005 Guess Who with Ashton Kutcher among others. He was one of The Original Kings of Comedy in the 2000 documentary of the same name that brought Bernie and other African-American stand-up comedians to national attention.

This is truly a tragic year! Comedian and actor Bernie Mac died earlier today at the age of 50. He had been hospitalized earlier this week due to pneumonia and unfortunately his condition worsened. He is survived by Rhonda, his wife of 30 years, and their daughter Je'Niece. In addition to his stand-up comedy, Bernie Mac has appeared in everything from Friday to Booty Call as well as Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy and most recently Michael Bay's Transformers. Above all, "The Bernie Mac Show" on Fox was his most highly regarded work that has won numerous awards and really put him on the map. He will be missed. Bernie Mac's full filmography also includes Mo' Money, Who's the Man?, How to Be a Player, Life, Head of State, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Bad Santa, Mr 3000, Guess Who, and Pride. He had already finished shooting three upcoming films: Old Dogs,...
