'Arrow' Star Stephen Amell Was A Real-Life Superhero For Charity On 'American Ninja Warrior'
If there was ever any doubt as to actor Stephen Amell's physical capabilities, he put them to rest by taking on the #AmericanNinjaWarrior course on Red Nose Day. In a sneak preview last week, Amell tackled the first few obstacles with ease, but we didn't get to see his entire course run until Thursday night on NBC — just one night after the incredible, fan-pleasing Arrow Season 5 finale.

A 'Rock' To The System: Is Dwayne Johnson Out Of The 'Shazam!' Movie?
The superhero gloves are off and the cinematic universes are going head to head in the great box office battle. As DC tries to compete with Marvel more than ever, and the DCEU is expanding its slate at an exponential rate, the comic book powerhouse certainly has some catching up to do. With the MCU currently standing at 16 films and the DCEU at just four, #GeoffJohns is going full steam ahead with heroes beyond the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Night Of The Living Legacy: 'The Walking Dead' Producer Thanks George A. Romero For The Show
It's safe to say that if you're AMC's The Walking Dead, you quite literally owe your life to George A. Romero. The 77-year-old godfather of the zombie genre sadly passed away on July 16, leaving behind a legacy of movies, his own genre, and setting the bar of rotting flesh pretty damn high. Best known for crafting 1968's Night of the Living Dead, Romero pretty much coined the modern interpretation of the word "zombie."

On Yer' Broomstick: Daniel Radcliffe Helps Victim Slashed By Moped Attackers
Hollywood may be known for its nimble stuntmen, but it looks like Tom Cruise isn't the only star willing to do his own stunts — only this time, it isn't for the latest blockbuster. Remember when Tom Hardy chased that thief down the street? Well it seems there is another actor in the running for a role in the real-life Avengers. #HarryPotter star — and occasional wang-out horse harasser — Daniel Radcliffe was here to save the day during a recent knife attack in central London.

This 'Sandlot' Star Could Face Jail Time For Assault
We all remember Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez from the modern, classic family movie, The Sandlot. He was the leader of the pack, and we all wanted to have a friend like him growing up. Benny was the most passionate kid on the block for baseball, even going so far as to form the sandlot baseball team.

Wearing A Madge Of Dishonor: Sharon Stone Responds To Madonna After Being Called 'Mediocre'
As blonde bombshells go, both Madonna and Sharon Stone are two of the most fearsome women in Tinsel Town. I wouldn't fancy my chances against either the Material Girl or the spread legs of Catherine Tramell, but the two starlets could be about to go head to head. Picking your fights wisely is common sense these days, and we have already seen the various Taylor Swift/Katy Perry feuds tear pop culture apart. However, is there a new Swifty-esque skirmish on the horizon?

Stone The Crows: George R.R. Martin Disagrees With One Major 'Game Of Thrones' Change
There is no denying that HBO's Game of Thrones is one of the biggest spectacles ever to grace the small screen. Turning George R.R. Martin's acclaimed Song of Ice and Fire saga into an eight-season show is no mean feat, while showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have now started using the novels as only a rough guide to where they are taking their own vision.

Wait, So Jesse Eisenberg Isn't Playing Lex Luthor in Batman vs Superman?
There has been a great deal of speculation and doubt about Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it seems as though he won't actually be playing Lex Luthor... at least not the Lex Luthor we know from the comics. If that's true, then who is he portraying?

Kingsman Star Taron Egerton Is Stuck Between Two Big-Budget Films!
Earlier this year, 'Kingsman: The Secret Service' made a big splash in Hollywood and turned the relatively unknown Taron Egerton into one of the most highly sought after actors of the year. His success isn't unfounded and he's sure to have a bright future ahead of him, especially once it was announced that Kingsman would be on the fast track for a sequel. Yet, with his sudden rise as a hot commodity in Hollywood it is beginning to cause conflict between two large studios both vying for Taron's time.

10 Celebrities You Probably Had Crushes On If You were Born Before 1990
I was born in 1985, and growing up there were so many family friendly shows available. Not to mention the classic cartoons that most people born 10 years later wouldn't even be able to relate to. If you are in the same generation as I am, you may have had a Super Nintendo or a Gameboy, you may remember cassette tapes and walkman players, you probably had a VCR and a wall of VHS tapes and you probably loved watching shows like Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Home Improvement, Family Matters and the entire T.G.I.F. lineup.

The Grapes Of Roth: Tim Roth Says He Is Out Of The MCU
It looks like the expanding MCU has lost another of its big stars, and just as we head into Avengers: Infinity War. Promising to be the team-up of all team-ups, the good and the bad of Marvel are looking to take on the Mad Titan Thanos in the two-part #Avengers ensemble. Basically, it seems like it's now or never for many of the #MCU's forgotten characters, but #TimRoth has confirmed he won't be back as Emil Blonsky.
