Gods Walk Among Us: 'Wonder Woman' Star Confirms Huge Fan Theory

'Pull' The Other One: Bill Pullman Confesses He Hadn't Seen Star Wars Before 'Spaceballs'
Schlocky, schticky, and a hell of a lot of fun, #StarWars parody #Spaceballs has become one of the greatest cult films of the past 30 years. #MelBrooks directed and starred in 1987's zany comedy, which was a clever riff off the Star Wars movies before the likes of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer sucked all the comedy out of spoof films.

Shaken But Not Heard: Laverne Cox Wants To Be First Transgender Bond Girl
Forget suiting up to play a superhero in Infinity War or putting on pelts to be cast in the next series of Game of Thrones, landing a part in a #JamesBond movie is surely one of the sweetest gigs in town. If the job is sloshing back martinis while you ogle a suave #DanielCraig in tiny swimshorts, I'm sure most actresses would give their Jimmy Choos to be cast as one of the franchise's eponymous Bond girls.
