  • Lauren Cohan Says TWD Season 6 Finale Was The Hardest Day On Set She’s Ever Had

    Lauren Cohan opened up recently about the upcoming season 6 finale of The Walking Dead, and what she had to say basically echoed what most of her castmates have said: that it was one of the hardest things she’s ever done.

    Cohan, who plays Maggie on the show, didn’t give any spoilers as to what might happen in the last episode of the season. But she did say that after reading the script, she didn’t even want to show up on set when it was time to film.

    “Hearing the word ‘finale’ gives me a physical reaction because it’s the hardest day on set that I’ve ever had in my life. I never even imagined that as an actor you could have that experience. It’s one of the most raw experiences that I think any of us have ever had. Andy talks about being late to work; I didn’t want to go to work that day. It took a really, really long time for everybody to feel okay again after the finale, let’s put it that way,” Lauren Cohan told Comicbook.com.

    Fans of the show have been trying in vain to figure out what the finale will bring, although there’s almost no doubt that a character we love will lose their life, more than likely at the hands of the nefarious Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Negan hasn’t made an appearance on the show yet, but in the comics, he’s a dark character who carries around a deadly baseball bat. If you watched the most recent episode, then you’ll remember those photos Glenn found tacked to the wall; those were likely supposed to be the aftermath of Negan’s rage.

    If you’ve been following what the stars of the show are up to, you might be aware that Lauren Cohan has cut her hair pretty dramatically, which has led to many theories that Maggie will be the one to die during the finale. Showrunners have kept us guessing, however, as the show has strayed from the books in the past and will continue to do so.

  • “The Walking Dead”: Melissa McBride Couldn’t Speak After Reading Finale Script

    The Walking Dead has managed to keep the attention of its army of loyal fans for the better part of a decade now, and anticipation for the season 6 finale is growing by the hour as rumors float around online that the infamous Negan will make his first appearance in the last episode.

    Now that the final hour is growing near, more and more of the show’s stars are speaking up about their reaction to reading the script, including Melissa McBride, who plays Carol. While there are many, many fan theories as to who might not make it to see season 7, it certainly doesn’t soften the blow to hear that McBride had such a hard time after finding out the fate of her castmates.

    “It was so very dark. I couldn’t say anything after I had finished reading it. I felt like I had dropped into a black hole,” Melissa said.

    Theories have ranged dramatically from Daryl to Glenn to Maggie being the characters to get killed off, and all for their own good reasons. But because the show veers pretty hard from the comic book story lines, it’s difficult to tell just what Negan will bring with him…and who will pay the price. Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie, has been fanning the flames after she got a dramatic haircut, leading fans to wonder if she cut it off because she left the show.

    how did I ever pick.

    Playing this season’s Big Bad is none other than Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who actually looks like the character of Negan as he’s drawn in the books. Besides that, says showrunner Scott Gimple, he tapped right into Negan’s energy from the start.

    “It isn’t just that, physically, he resembles him. Jeffrey’s enthusiasm mirrors the character’s enthusiasm. Negan is an extremely enthusiastic character; he’s not subtle. There really aren’t a lot of half measures. He’s a bull in a china shop, and the china shop is the world. And he’s not very concerned about what he breaks. I saw Jeffrey’s smile and I said, ‘Oh, that’s Negan’s smile,’” Gimple told Nerdist.

  • Norman Reedus Talks Biting Fan, Prank War This Week On Late Night Circuit

    Norman Reedus made the talk show rounds like a zombie-killing boss this week to promote The Walking Dead (as if it needed promoting).

    Along the way, Norman Reedus was kind enough to share two hilarious stories.

    On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Norman Reedus gave his version of the famous biting fan story from December of last year.

    Norman Reedus said, “We took a picture, right? She started off—she came out and said, ‘Sometimes I like to pretend we’re married.’ And I went, ‘Oh, OK. Cool.’”

    He continued, “And to tell you the truth I was so tired at the point I didn’t really register she said that.”

    Then he said she began shaking and howling, then “came down and bit me on the breast, the chest.”

    He continued, “I kind of went, ‘Ow,’ and Michael Rooker was there and he went, ‘What the f—k was that?’ And then a couple of nice officers tackled her to the ground.”

    Always a pleasure. Latelateshow tonight

    He added, “She was escorted out and she came outside and she goes, ‘What happened?’ And then they said, ‘Ma’am you just bit Norman,’ and she goes, ‘I did?’”

    Wow. So funny!

    Hope everyone enjoyed Sunday ?️

    On Wednesday night, Norman Reedus gave James Corden a glimpse into the ongoing (one-sided) prank war between him and Andrew Lincoln.

    Apparently, the whole thing began when a fan sent Norman Reedus a super fancy Daryl Dixon license plate. He put it onto Lincoln’s car undetected. Lincoln drove the car for months before he noticed. Then he swore he would get Reedus back.

    Norman Reedus continued, “He was trying to plot, but he’s really bad at it to be honest. So the last day of shooting for this latest season, he walked into his trailer and I’d filled it full of chickens.”

    Corden remarked, “You filled his trailer full of chickens? Hold on, you were trying to get him back for something he hadn’t done yet?”

    What do you think of Norman Reedus’ hilarious stories this week?

  • “The Walking Dead” May Have Given Us A Hint About Who Dies Next

    The Walking Dead enjoyed an explosive premiere on Valentine’s Day that had millions of fans tuning in to find out the fate of their favorite characters. But a tiny, almost-unnoticeable event in the premiere may have foreshadowed who dies next, and if it’s true, fans are not going to be happy.

    Caution: potential spoilers if you’re not caught up.

    The show has consistently broken our hearts with the tragic deaths of major characters, and while fans understand that it has to happen sometimes–considering the world they live in now–that doesn’t make it any less devastating. When Glenn appeared to be gutted in a confrontation with a horde of walkers last season, fans went wild on the Web trying to decipher if it was really him and coming up with theories as to why it couldn’t be him. There was a lot of talk about loyal viewers never coming back if Glenn got killed off as well. Of course, it turned out to be a trick of the camera and Glenn is alive and well, but his fate is intertwined with the newest fan theory.

    In Sunday’s premiere episode, fans noticed a car in the background of an important scene and began to wonder if it’s an indicator of things to come.

    In the comic, Negan famously kills Glenn with his baseball bat. But the showrunners have been pretty adamant that the series is taking a dramatic turn from the storylines in the book, and besides, Glenn has already escaped death once recently. With the mysterious car in the background just as Daryl blows up some of Negan’s crew, the new theory is that Negan saw it happen and will come for Daryl with his bat.

    Daryl Dixon is one of the most beloved and revered characters on television right now, so it’s tough to say whether it’s his time just yet. However, Norman Reedus is getting his own show on AMC, so this may be the way the show deals with his departure. Actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick on the show, said recently that the new season has messed with him pretty badly, leading fans to wonder whose death would upset him so much.

    “I felt sick to my stomach when I read the script. It was the first day in the whole six years of working on The Walking Dead that I was late for work because I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I was so angry and frustrated and I felt sick. And that was just after reading it,” Lincoln said.

  • ‘The Walking Dead’ Creator’s Unsealed Deposition Reveals Reasons For His Termination

    The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont broke his silence about the reasons behind his termination from the successful TV show through a recently unsealed deposition in a court case he filed against AMC.

    In his deposition, the fired Walking Dead creator blasted the network for breaching his contract and robbing him of his profit shares as he left the hit zombie show in the middle of the second season. In his breach of contract lawsuit against the network, Darabont says AMC accused him of not having directors tone meetings, which, according to the fired creator, was not true. He said he did all of the showrunner duties on all season 2 episodes.

    He also revealed how the management treated the staff and crew who he said are “busting their butts, leaving it all on the field, to earn.” Darabont criticized the executives who would show up on the set in Georgia only to stay in the air-conditioned tents they set up for the actors.

    The cable network also made unjustified budget cuts to the hit TV series, adding they kept the tax profit to themselves.

    Another problem he had with AMC came when he decided to delay some scripts for the second part of the Walking Dead season 2. He said Susie Fitzgerald, AMC’s vice president of scripted programming, agreed with his decision but later on lied about having the conversation with him.

    Darabont is not alone in this fight as Glen Mazzara, who took over his showrunning duties in the second half of the second season of The Walking Dead before leaving the show, also testified against AMC. Mazzara confirmed that Darabont had been treated unjustly and that the ousted creator of the zombie series performed his duties. Mazzara also acknowledged Darabont’s imprint and cinematic style all throughout the series.

    Current ‘The Walking Dead’ Showrunner Talks About Replacing Frank Darabont

    In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC maintained that they have paid Darabont “millions of dollars under the terms of his contract with The Walking Dead.” As such, they “will continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.”

  • Steven Yeun Dishes on Glenn’s Fate on The Walking Dead”

    Steven Yeun Dishes on Glenn’s Fate on The Walking Dead”

    Steven Yeun has finally broken his silence after his character Glenn’s fate was revealed Sunday on The Walking Dead.

    (Spoiler Alert! This article contains details about Sunday night’s The Walking Dead.)

    Appearing live via satellite on Sunday night’s Talking Dead, Yeun was finally able to speak freely about Sunday’s big reveal that Glenn Rhee survived falling into a crowd of walkers by crawling to safety under a dumpster.

    “I feel relieved, I feel very grateful, I feel so amazed at the response,” Steven told show host Chris Hardwick, when asked how he feels now. “I feel bad that I couldn’t say anything to everyone, and family and friends. … But yeah… I mean, it’s kind of been overwhelming. I didn’t even know how to really take it all.”

    Steven said he became reclusive since the third episode of the season aired four weeks ago, when his character’s fate was left up in the air.

    “I have not been out much. I frequent a lot of take-out,” he said. “My apartment looks like a hoarder’s house.”

    Yeun said Glenn’s survival symbolizes hope in an uncertain world.

    “I think it proves that this world still can take that story of the good guy winning sometimes,” he said. “I really like the fact that it’s not this, you know, bent of always seeking out something miserable happening on television or something terrible, and sulking on that and rather just really accepting the fact that sometimes good guys survive.”

    Executive Producer Scott Gimple, who appeared with Steven Yeun on the satellite feed, explained why fans had to wait a month to learn of Glenn’s fate.

    “The story we were telling was one of uncertainty,” he said. “When people leave the walls, in this case of Alexandria, they don’t have cell phones, they aren’t rocking ’80s beepers, you don’t know what happens, you have no idea. When they leave, that could be the last time you ever see them and I think it was important to do a story this year about uncertainty and that the audience would share that uncertainty that the characters had, like in Episode 5. Maggie didn’t know what happened to Glenn and I wanted the audience to be exactly where she was, to feel the exact same way.”

    The Walking Dead midseason finale airs next Sunday night at 9 PM ET/PT on AMC.

  • Alanna Masterson: “Walking Dead” Star Welcomes First Child With Boyfriend Brick Stowell

    Alanna Masterson, known best for her role as Tara Chambler on The Walking Dead, welcomed her first child with boyfriend Brick Stowell. The actress, who keeps a very low profile, didn’t make an official announcement, but shared information via Instagram that hinted at the exciting news.

    It was earlier this week when Alanna Masterson posted a photo of her head on a pillow.

    “Been awake for days,” she captioned it, replete with baby bottle emojis.

    It was just this past summer that Alanna Masterson shared word of her pregnancy.

    “Guess what…??? @brickstowell,” she captioned a photo of herself massaging her baby bump.

    A photo posted by Alanna Masterson (@lucytwobows) on

    Lots more details are yet to come, such as what day Alanna Masterson gave birth to her baby–and whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

    The Walking Dead fans are no doubt excited to learn that Alanna Masterson is now a mom.

    What do you suppose she and Brick Stowell will name their blessed bundle of joy?

  • Jennifer Garner: First Trailer Released for “Miracles from Heaven”

    Jennifer Garner stars in the upcoming Christian drama, Miracles from Heaven, and on Wednesday the film’s first trailer was released.

    Filming began on Miracles from Heaven back in July–less than a month after Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their marriage was over. The film is based on a little girl who has a near-death experience and is then found to be cured of a digestive order that prevented her from eating normally. Following the near-death experience, she no longer needed feeding tubes for nutrition.

    Jennifer Garner plays the role of the little girl’s mother in the film, which is based on a true story.

    In addition to Jennifer Garner, Miracles from Heaven stars Queen Latifah, Martin Henderson, Kylie Rogers, Brighton Sharbino (The Walking Dead), and John Carroll Lynch.

    It was no doubt a very emotional experience for Jennifer Garner to play this role on the heels of her split from Ben Affleck. Portraying a mom who nearly lost her child had to resonate loudly for the mom of three.

    Fans have only a few months left before Miracles from Heaven opens in theaters. It is set for a March 18, 2016 premiere.

    Will you check out Jennifer Garner in Miracles from Heaven when it hits theaters?

  • Lauren Cohan Opens Up About Whether She Was Expecting That Big “TWD” Bombshell

    Lauren Cohan sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently, and she opened up about whether she was expecting the storyline that was introduced on the most recent episode of The Walking Dead.

    *Caution: Spoilers ahead. If you haven’t watched the most recent episode, beware!

    While fans mostly just want to know whether Glenn is dead or not, many are now left wondering what will become of the onscreen couple now that Maggie has admitted she’s pregnant. And while a lot of fans have been waiting for a moment like this (at least, I have) to arise, Lauren says she didn’t expect anything because the show’s writers don’t give even the actors any hint of what their fate will be.

    “I had a sneaking suspicion it was going to happen, but not from any clues. We really get no clues. I just felt that maybe there was the desire to go down that road for Maggie and Glenn. Because we talked about it in season 3 when they weren’t pregnant, but said if they were it would be okay. It’s just such an interesting topic, and I overwhelmingly feel like with the loss of life that there is a responsibility to create life. I know there are opinions on every side of the camp about being pregnant in a time like this, but I just find it really exciting. Even within the craziness now, I think it’s correct that this is the next step on that journey for those two,” Cohan said.

    Part of the appeal of The Walking Dead is that fans never know where each episode will take them, but that also means coming to terms with the fact that some of our favorite characters will get killed off. No one is safe.

  • Is Glenn Dead? Norman Reedus May Have Just Confirmed It

    “Is Glenn Dead?” seems to be the question on everyone’s lips these days. For the uninitiated, it concerns a character on The Walking Dead, a character who has been around since the very beginning and who has saved the lives of most of his group members at least once. Since the episode before last, fans have been in agony wondering if he really perished at the hands of a horde of walkers, but Norman Reedus may have just confirmed it.

    *Warning: possible spoiler alert*

    After Glenn and a newer character–Nicholas–are separated from their group in town, the duo are forced into an alley by a huge group of walkers, where they jump on top of a dumpster. Seeing no way out, Nicholas uses his weapon to shoot himself in the head and falls , taking Glenn with him. The camera is nearly level with Glenn’s face as he lies on the ground and seemingly watches the walkers pull his intestines from his stomach; however, the angle has led some fans to believe we weren’t watching Glenn meet his own end at all, but that the guts in question belonged to Nicholas. The debate has waged online for two weeks now, but no one is any closer to an answer; the show has moved on to the many other characters’ storylines, purposely keeping us all in suspense.

    In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Reedus said he couldn’t believe what was happening himself, and he was actually in the episode.

    “I was in that episode and I watched that episode and I was like how could they do that! I had the same feeling, trust me. That’s our show. That’s what we do. We rip your guts out — literally,” Reedus said.

    Does that mean what I think it means? Reedus wouldn’t elaborate and he never came right out and said Glenn is dead, of course, but some are wondering if he’s giving us a hint. He also advised that we all pay close attention to every detail of every episode, because some things come up later that we’ll need to remember (what that “A” stands for in the tree bark, for instance).

    “It’s really entered a mature level of storytelling this time. Little tiny things mean so much later. You really have to pay attention to everything. The acting is so on point, the directing is so on point. I feel like showrunner Scott Gimple is really leading the team to the Super Bowl,” Reedus said.

  • The Walking Dead Continues To Take World By Storm As Season 6 Approaches

    The Walking Dead Continues To Take World By Storm As Season 6 Approaches

    The Walking Dead is about to return to AMC as Season 6 makes its debut on Sunday at 9/8c. Fans have had a spinoff called Fear the Walking Dead to tide them over, but that recently wrapped up, and the original will soon grace the television screens in living rooms across the nation.

    But if that weren’t enough, there’s also a web series in progress. The first episode of Fear the Walking Dead Flight 462 went live on the AMC YouTube channel last weekend. You can watch that here:

    There’s no denying that The Walking Dead has become a major part of American pop culture. There’s even a convention inspired by The Walking Dead called Walker Stalker Con with 8 separate events across the world. It’s not solely dedicated to the series, but The Walking Dead is clearly its main focus. The con hits Atlanta later this month, where fans can meet many stars and people associated with the show including: Greg Nicotero, Andrew Lincoln, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Michael Rooker, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Emily Kinney, Steven Yeun, David Morrissey, Michael Cudlitz, Scott Wilson, and many more (seriously, MANY more).

    Screen Shot 2015-10-09 at 2.04.46 PM

    Dates in New York/New Jersey, London, Dallas, Denver, Nashville, Chicago, and even a cruise from Miami to The Bahamas follow.

    As for the The Walking Dead itself, it will be interesting to see if the opening of Season 6 is as grisly as that of Season 5, which recently became available on Netflix. The onscreen bloodshed has always been a staple of the show, but somehow seems to keep outdoing itself as it progresses.

    If you’re caught up on the series, and the spinoff, and you just can’t wait to sink your teeth into more of The Walking Dead, you can check out the iPhone game The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land.

  • Walking Dead Spinoff Will Land Exclusively on Hulu

    Walking Dead Spinoff Will Land Exclusively on Hulu

    When the first season of AMC’s upcoming Walking Dead companion series Fear the Walking Dead wraps up, the only place you’ll be able to stream it online is Hulu.

    Hulu has announced a major partnership with AMC Networks that will give it exclusive SVOD rights to “new and upcoming primetime scripted comedy and drama series” from networks like AMC, IFC, BBC, Sundance, and WE tv.

    “Hulu announced a groundbreaking, multi-year deal with AMC Networks Inc. for the exclusive SVOD rights to new and upcoming primetime scripted comedy and drama series from AMC, IFC, BBC America, Sundance TV and WE tv. The new agreement will make Hulu the exclusive streaming home to the highly anticipated companion series to The Walking Dead, titled: Fear the Walking Dead. Through the deal, Hulu will – over time – become the SVOD home to a diverse and comprehensive collection of AMC Networks Inc.-produced content,” said the company. “Hulu will also become the streaming home for a significant number of films from the IFC Films collection.”

    Fear the Walking Dead falls into that category.

    Of course, “new and upcoming” means that Hulu will not be the exclusive home for currently-airing and past AMC hits like The Walking Dead, Mad Men, or Breaking Bad. Fear the Walking Dead has a lot of buzz surrounding it, due to the immense popularity of The Walking Dead, so it’s a nice get for Hulu.

    But the true value of this deal depends a lot on the quality of AMC’s new shows. The better and more popular they are, the cooler this is for Hulu.

    Hulu scored another big content grab – and it cost them a pretty penny. Hulu will now be the exclusive home for the entire Seinfeld collection – a deal that cost them upwards of $180 million.

    Fear the Walking Dead is due out this summer.

  • Amber Stevens High-Fives Her Groom After Kiss

    Amber Stevens, an actress best known for her roles on Greek and in 22 Jump Street, got married to her former ABC Family co-star last Friday and the couple showed that they’re not just in love, they’re also best friends.

    After the traditional first kiss as husband and wife, Stevens and The Walking Dead‘s Andrew J. West pulled back and gave each other a high-five, much to the delight of their guests. The nuptials took place at the Carondelet House in L.A. Later, they both posted photos of the big day, and Stevens shared a photo of her parents on their own wedding day, calling them an “inspiration”.

    “I could not imagine a better send-off into the rest of our lives together. Amber was beaming all night. We were surrounded by so much love,” West told People Magazine.

    The couple worked together on Greek back in 2009, and Stevens said earlier this year that she immediately wanted to know more about West as soon as she met him.

    “He came in to play my boyfriend on the show. We were introduced by the casting director, and I remember I went back to the hair and makeup room immediately and started Googling him. I was like, ‘Well, that guy was cute!’” she told Conan O’Brien.

  • Amber Stevens Marries ‘Greek’ Costar

    22 Jump Street actress Amber Stevens married her Greek costar Andrew J. West on Friday.

    The two exchanged vows at the Carondelet House in Los Angeles. West, 31, commented, “I could not imagine a better send-off into the rest of our lives together. Amber was beaming all night. We were surrounded by so much love.”

    Stevens, 28, added, “It was the most magical night of my life. I wish I could rewind and play it again, but I’m so looking forward to our future together.”

    The couple met on the set of the defunct ABC Family dramedy Greek, which concerned the dealings of the students of fictional Cyprus-Rhodes University who participated in the school’s fraternity and sorority system.

    During a guest spot on Conan in June, Stevens recalled the first time she met West, who is best known as “Gareth” on AMC’s The Walking Dead. “He came in to play my boyfriend on the show (Greek). We were introduced by the casting director, and I remember I went back to the hair and makeup room immediately and started Googling him.

But I know we have to kiss later, is that cool?’ And I was like, ‘Yes!’”

  • The Walking Dead: Season 4 Gets Netflix Release Date

    The Walking Dead: Season 4 Gets Netflix Release Date

    Many Netflix subscribers are no doubt anxiously awaiting the addition of The Walking Dead: Season 4, especially as Season 5’s premiere gets closer. You can rest easy now knowing that it should appear on the service on September 28 (Sunday).

    As you may know, we get weekly lists of upcoming title additions from Netflix PR, and while these dates are always subject to change, this week’s has The Walking Dead: Season 4 pegged for that day.

    The description (via Netflix):

    In the wake of a zombie apocalypse that desolates the world as we know it, a group of survivors led by police officer Rick Grimes holds on to the hope of humanity by banding together to wage a never-ending fight for their own survival.

    I guess that describes the show itself more than the season, but oh well. Here’s a trailer for the season:

    We’re finding out about it later this year, but the season is being added earlier compared to Season 3 in 2013, which was added on October 13.

    Season 5 debuts on October 12 on AMC.

  • The Walking Dead Premiere: Too Much For TV?

    Good news for fans of the series The Walking Dead!

    Entertainment Weekly reports that as of yesterday, the cast returned to work.

    They are very excited about doing so, insisting that season five of The Walking Dead just might be THE most intense and blood-soaked affair to date!

    “Some of the stuff they shot yesterday,” said actress Lauren Cohan, “I don’t think it’ll make it to TV.”

    That’s quite a statement, especially since what they are filming at present is the season premiere itself.

    Based on Cohan’s take, it promises to be one unforgettable television event.

    Actor Andrew Lincoln, known as Rick Grimes to fans of show, was equally impressed with the premiere of the new season.

    “It’s the most ambitious first episode I think we’ve ever attempted,” said Grimes.

    What could be in this episode that would make Norman Reedus say, “Oh My God”, and leave Chad L. Coleman practically speechless? Coleman reportedly could only say “Wow”. after reading through the script.

    As the hype builds by way of the cast, fans are no doubt that much more excited for the series to return to AMC.

    Speaking of AMC, the network was kind enough to provide a behind-the-scenes look at work on the fifth season of the show, which is scheduled to return to television this fall.

    One of the most exciting aspects of what’s to come is that whatever horror lies ahead, it’s expected that the main characters will face it together.

    A great deal of time was spent apart in the previous season, with certain characters still unaccounted for. It’s going to be very interesting to see who survives the bloody series opener and who is lost.

    Lincoln tells fans that if there is a theme to expect to run throughout this latest season, it’s “hierarchy”. He said that the characters will be trying to figure out where they fit in.

    This makes sense. We had some new additions in season four and there are characters who were pretty much in charge of their own destiny for most of their time apart from Grimes. It’s going to be tougher for some to fall in line.

    The Walking Dead doesn’t exactly suit itself to rap, but the Internet thinks otherwise. Nice Peter’s immensely popular Epic Rap Battles of History has pitted the titans of history against each other, but now he’s pitted the leads from AMC’s two leading dramas.

    In the latest Epic Rap Battles of History, the fans have spoken and Nice Peter has delivered. For the premiere of season 3, Nice Peter takes on the role of Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead while EpicLLOYD plays Walter White from Breaking Bad. As is the case with previous rap battles, it’s always going to be hard to decide a victor as both sling some pretty vicious rhymes at each other. It will no doubt be a topic of conversation among fans in the weeks to come.

    Before you go scuttling away to Internet forums and YouTube comments to let the world know who won, let’s take a step back and analyze this from a rap perspective. As far as rhyming goes, White definitely has an edge. Grimes had the better delivery though and that matters a lot in the world of rap battles. If you happen to like one character more than the other, that’s going to introduce some biases that a purely objective point of view can’t maneuver around. For that, you’re going to have to wade into the YouTube comments.

    Of course, this isn’t the first time that Epic Rap Battles of History has used fictional characters. In fact, some of the more popular battles pit some of history’s most famous pop culture icons against each other. For instance, one classic is Batman versus Sherlock Holmes:

    Another fan favorite had Dumbledore and Gandalf trading in their magic for mics:

    Finally, we can never forget Moses versus Santa Claus as it starred Snoop Lion:

    If you want to see more where these came from, you can waste your entire day (or evening) catching up on Epic Rap Battles of History here.

  • Hilary Duff Not Scientology Member

    Hilary Duff Not Scientology Member

    Hilary Duff is not a member of the Church of Scientology. A photo of what turned out to be a temporary tattoo of a moon caused the rumor about the former Disney star’s affiliation with the controversial organization to run rampant.

    A couple of months back Duff was spotted hanging out with The Walking Dead star Alanna Masterson. Masterson comes from a family of practicing members of the Church of Scientology. It was in that photo that Hilary was spotted sporting the faux ink–depicting a crescent moon, two small triangles, and an arrow–on her arm.

    A false report claimed the symbols represented the Church of Scientology and had countless people believing Hilary Duff had joined the ranks of Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

    Duff took to Twitter to dispel the rumor.

    The false report posted by Radar Online that claimed Hilary was a Scientology member also said that her temporary body art featured the “ARC” or “Affinity, Reality and Communication” triangle. In the Church of Scientology the ARC “greatly assists interpersonal relationships’ and provides “a greater understanding of life itself.”

    A fan of Hilary Duff’s made it clear that not everyone believed she had become a member of the Church of Scientology.

    Duff’s reply indicates she knows full well she is subject to rumors but that some people like to take it to the extreme.

    Are you surprised to learn that Hilary Duff isn’t a Scientologist? Had you heard the initial rumor? Did you believe it?

  • Norman Reedus Joins A Stellar Cast For An Upcoming Film

    It is not a film such as The Avengers: Age Of Ultron or Star Wars Episode VII that everyone has on their radar already, but the upcoming film that Norman Reedus has joined already contains quite an all-star cast, and could end up being a huge hit.

    Norman Reedus is one of the stars of the popular AMC series The Walking Dead, and as the show’s fourth season just came to an end, he has a bit of free time on his hands to do a film. Prior to The Walking Dead, he had roles in films such as The Boondock Saints, American Gangster and Blade II.

    While he had been an actor for several years, his role as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead has elevated him to another level, and the show continues to draw in a huge number of viewers. Much like Breaking Bad, the series is a huge fan favorite for the AMC network.

    The film will be called Triple Nine, and will be an ensemble cop drama. The film is a thriller that focuses on a crew of dirty cops that is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. Things get complicated when the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, or in other words, they have to kill a cop.

    In addition to Norman Reedus, Triple Nine has an outstanding cast featuring several recent breakout stars, as well as veteran award-winners, and nominees. It features a huge ensemble including Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael B. Jordan, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, and Gal Gadot.

    The film will begin production this summer, and features a script from Matt Cook. John Hillcoat, the director, has previously been responsible for the films The Road, Lawless, and The Proposition. After making a few smaller films, perhaps with this type of a cast, Hillcoat will truly be able to make a name for himself.

    In addition to Triple Nine, it was also announced that Norman Reedus would be appearing in a futuristic set film called Air, which will co-star Djimon Honsou.

    John Hillcoat’s Triple Nine, with Norman Reedus, and several other big stars, is set to be released in 2015. However, the release date is still unknown, so stay tuned for more details.

  • “Walker” Beer Is Made With Braaaaaiins

    “Walker” Beer Is Made With Braaaaaiins

    While many of us were talking about “The Walking Dead” finale over the weekend, one brewing company in Philly was having a very different conversation about brains.

    Dock Street Brewing Co. has created a beer made with the grey matter of goats, and unveiled it during the final episode of the season. Made with cranberries to round out the robust flavor, the beer is an American Pale Stout and has a “creamy mouthfeel”.

    “Fuggle hops provide delicate, earthy notes, while the cranberries create a sinister, bloody hue, and a slight tartness. The pre-sparge-brain-addition provided this beer with intriguing, subtle smoke notes. In true walker fashion, don’t be surprised is its head doesn’t hang around forever,” the brewing company says about the beverage.
