    • Tyler Perry thanks firefighters who battled studio blaze

      Photo: Curtis Compton/AP ImagesA 4-alarm fire at Tyler Perry's studios in Atlanta, Georgia, burned incessantly Tuesday night into early Wednesday as more than 100 local firefighters were called to battle the blaze.

      One building at the multi-million dollar,  200,000-square -foot studio was damaged, but the cause is not known. [UPDATE: An official says the fire will be recorded as "undetermined." The blaze's intensity consumed evidence of its cause.]

      Perry, who Forbes ranked entertainment's highest paid man last year when he received an estimated $130 million in pay, released a statement through a publicist:

    • ‘Dark Knight Rises’ trailer prompts speculation

      Photo: Warner Bros. PicturesThere is a lot of buzz around the latest trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises," which promises an "epic conclusion" to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Like any good teaser, the slickly-edited 2:19-minutes of film inspires interpretation. And the theories are flying.

      Searches on Yahoo! for "dark knight rises trailer" popped up 189 percent in the past 24 hours, and mostly thanks to males. "Dark Knight 3" ranks third in April searches for summer movie blockbusters, following "Avengers" and "Total Recall."

      Here are our top five questions the "Rises" trailer raises:

      1. What's the story with Gotham police officer John Blake?

      "Did they kill him?" Blake (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) asks Catwoman in the trailer, presumably referring to Batman. Blake is seen throughout the trailer, indicating his role is more important than that of a mere street cop. Some have speculated Gordon-Levitt is the new Robin recruit, others are saying he may be subbing in for Batman himself (if true—OMG!), and

    • Viral video father-son duo make ‘Avengers’ premiere

      Photo: Jim Spellman/WireimageOne young fanboy and his military dad got to walk the red carpet for a recent premiere of "Marvel's The Avengers."

      But that's not where the story ends.

      Disney caught wind of the father-son duo when a video of the two reuniting—both dressed as Captain America—went viral. You see, real life captain, Captain Kevin Camarata, wanted to return from Afghanistan in time for his son's birthday. He missed it by a few days, but made it up to him by sticking to the original plan: dressing as the Avengers character his son holds most dear.

      [Related: 'Avengers' fight scene with director's commentary]

      Captain Camarata arrived dressed in disguise as Captain America, fooling his young son—who, by the way, was also dressed in costume. The ultra-heart-warming reunion was filmed, posted on welcomehomeblog.com, and hundreds of thousands of video views ensued. "This was incredible... When we put the video on the Internet nothing like this was even considered," Camarata said as he walked the carpet on

    • Photo courtsey of Patrick Schwarzenegger/InstagramOver the weekend Patrick Schwarzenegger experienced a typical teen rite of passage—attending his senior prom—but it wasn't your average affair. That's because the 18-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver attended the event with another celebrity offspring—legendary music producer Jimmy Iovine's daughter Jade.

      Patrick—who, in addition to being a student, is a model, aspiring actor and a designer for the charity-driven clothing line Project 360—shared his prom photo with his more than 50,000 Twitter followers. In the pic, his classmate Jade, wearing a white, strapless dress, pins a boutonnière to his tuxedo. He captioned the photo: "Prom with my best friend @jadeiovine."

    • Batman is wanted as part of new viral campaign

      Photo: Warner Bros. PicturesAvid Batman fans can now whet their appetite for the July 20th release of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises."

      Part of a newly-launched official viral marketing campaign, the film's site thedarkknightrises.com dons a wanted poster for Batman, issued by Gotham City. Batman is wanted for murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault of a peace officer. Here are more details from the poster:

      The anonymous vigilante known as the Batman is responsible for six deaths, including two police officers and District Attorney Harvey Dent. The perpetrator is also wanted for the kidnapping and endangerment of Commissioner James Gordon's family, and the aggravated assaults of several Gotham Police Personnel.

      The Batman has never been seen out of his mask and tactical uniform. He has been known to drive a large military-type vehicle, but this vehicle is believed to have been destroyed and abandoned. He has more recently been seen driving a two-wheeled vehicle of an unknown make and model.

      "The Sound of My Voice" is a movie made for next to nothing, but it still manages to be more taut and suspenseful than most studio thrillers with 10 times its budget.  A pair of Silver Lake documentary filmmakers, Peter and Lorna, who infiltrate a cult located in the basement of a suburban split level. The cult leader is Maggie, an ethereal, charismatic woman who wears a long flowing gown and who trundles around an oxygen tank. Though she claims to be from the year 2054, she's remarkably vague about the future. Peter and Lorna initially intend of exposing her as a fraud, they get more and more swayed by this magnetic, mysterious woman.

      Last week something happened that hasn't in a long time—a movie other than "The Hunger Games" made it to No. 1 at the box office! In surprising fashion, the romantic comedy "Think Like a Man" earned the top spot while racking up some $33 million. Alas, it will be hard-pressed to stay there this weekend, seeing as four new films are opening wide on Friday.

      It's a crapshoot as to which new film might win the weekend, since they all feature big names and appeal to wide audiences. But with so many fine flicks debuting, how can you possibly decide what you should see? Well, that's where we come in! Read on for a breakdown of what each movie is about and who it's for. Then let us know who you think will take the weekend box office crown in our poll below.

    • Elizabeth Banks bashes her first film

      Photo: Luke MacGregor/ReutersShe was young, naive and really green at acting. At least that's what "Hunger Games" actress Elizabeth Banks has indicated during a discussion on her biggest career mistake.

      In her first-ever film role, Banks played Vicki in a little-known 1998 release called "Surrender Dorothy." The film is about a heroin addict who is forced into compromising behavior.

      "Dorothy" was set to start filming when the leading man, as Banks recalls, bowed out. "I just remember I had met the guy who was going to be the lead in the movie and then, right before we started shooting, that guy got a 'real job' [stated while signaling air quotes], and went to do some real job," Banks recently told Slate.com during a filmed interview.

      The 38-year-old film-and-television star revealed that "Dorothy" writer-director Kevin DiNovis was forced to take on the role because "there was no one else to do it!... He wasn't a real actor."  (To his credit, DiNovis has gathered a few acting credits since and has more recently
