Anthony Ippolito Becomes Young Sylvester Stallone in ‘I Play Rocky’

Published by Daniella Wilson

I Play Rocky, which follows the making of the iconic Sylvester Stallone movie, arrived in heavyweight fashion to Las Vegas on Wednesday during Amazon MGM Studio’s CinemaCon presentation. Anthony Ippolito stars as a young Stallone in the drama, which tells the true Hollywood story of making Rocky — the tale of an unknown actor who bets on himself to become Rocky Balboa. Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film will open nationwide in theaters Nov. 20 following a limited release on Nov. 13; it’s just in time for Rocky‘s 50th anniversary, as the original was released Nov. 21, 1976.  Farrelly appeared on stage with Ippolito and several members of the young cast, as the director promised, “They’re going to blow you away.” They then kicked to some first-look footage, which sees Ippolito harnessing Stallone’s iconic raspy voice and explaining that he now goes by Mike because kids made fun of his name. “You don’t got the looks to be a movie star, you talk like you’ve got rocks in your mouth,” he’s told as he tries to become …

Mom who watched a newborn baby drown in the toilet had pictures of Casey Anthony on her phone, cops say

Published by Sam Flores

A Florida college student accused of watching her newborn daughter drown in a toilet allegedly had photos of Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of first-degree murder in the disappearance of her infant child, on her phone, police say. Anne Mae Demegillo, a 20-year-old from Palm Coast whose newborn died March 5, was arrested the next day for aggravated manslaughter and initially released on $250,000 bond. After further investigation, a grand jury on Monday indicted her on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and concealing the death. Demegillo turned herself in at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and is now in custody without bond pending a court hearing, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday. During the investigation, detectives say that Demegillo had used her phone to search for terms such as “newborn premature babies,” “Palm Coast OBGYN” and “foods to decrease fertility.” Investigators also discovered that her phone held images of Anthony, who was acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in a high-profile trial that captivated the country. She was, however, convicted …

How Anthony Leggett pushed the boundaries of quantum physics

How Anthony Leggett pushed the boundaries of quantum physics

Published by skeptic

Sir Anthony Leggett was a giant in the field of quantum physics University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign/L. Brian Stauffer In my first year of graduate school, I briefly shared an office with a quiet, older graduate student. When we finally managed some chit-chat, I learned that he was “working on theory of glasses with Tony.” Two things became clear: cracking the physics of glasses was difficult, and I really ought to have known who Tony was. I met him soon enough. A polite British man in his 70s, he spoke with the cadence of a life-long teacher and an incontrovertible twinkle in his eyes. His full name was Anthony James Leggett: a Nobel laureate, a knight of the British Empire, winner of countless prizes, an expert on the ultracold denizens of the quantum world, and a theorist who co-developed an influential test for probing just where that world might end, a question he pursued for decades. He passed away on 8 March, survived not only by his family but by countless inspired researchers to whom he …

Paul Anthony Kelly Lost His Voice—but Not His Sense of Style—Before the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Paul Anthony Kelly Lost His Voice—but Not His Sense of Style—Before the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Published by Sam Flores

If you’re driving in Los Angeles these days, there’s a good chance you’ll see the back of Paul Anthony Kelly’s head. In this town, billboards for Love Story, FX’s hit series chronicling the romance of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette—starring Kelly as America’s first son—tower on seemingly every corner. “They’re everywhere,” Kelly says. “It feels amazing. It’s proof that we did it. We made it.” By Christian Högstedt. And after you’ve made it in Hollywood, there’s only one place to go: the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party. While getting ready for the event at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Oscar Sunday, Kelly tells me that he’s a little overwhelmed to attend for the first time. “But I’m ready,” he says. “I’m ready to just go hang out with everybody and say what’s up and congratulate people.” There is one problem with his plan, though: Kelly, who’s been doing a nonstop press blitz since before his show debuted, recently lost his voice. At a time when he has to rely on being seen more …

Minnie Driver, Paul Anthony Kelly, and More Famous Faces Enjoy a Pre-Oscars Celebration With Giorgio Armani

Published by Sam Flores

Rodeo Drive, on any given day in Los Angeles, always has a number of tourists really there not to shop but to hopefully spot some celebrities. But Rodeo Drive, on the night before the Oscars—where Giorgio Armani annually holds a cocktail party for notable friends of the Italian house—basically only has tourists hoping to spot a celebrity. On March 14, they packed the entire block, cell phones and notebooks out. (The autograph is apparently alive and well! Who knew?) When a famous face did arrive, they screamed their name at the top of their lungs: Samuel! (For Samuel L. Jackson.) Minnie! (For Minnie Driver.) Ali! (For Ali Larter.) Although it didn’t even need to be a specific moniker. “Famous People!” I heard a woman shout into the ether as I walked into the store. Which was, thanks to a hidden DJ or perhaps just an excellent speaker system, bumping. Most of the guests wore black or navy, two colors synonymous with the brand. (Well, with the exception of Maura Higgins—the reality TV star of the …

Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope React to Cliffhanger

Published by Daniella Wilson

[This story contains MAJOR spoilers from The Beauty season one finale, “Beautiful Betrayal”] For Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, portraying their characters’ growing bond wasn’t much of a stretch. The two have been friends in real life for years, even attending college together at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Their dynamic in the FX series, however, takes an unexpected turn. The Assassin (Ramos) is initially ordered by Byron — aka The Corporation (Ashton Kutcher) — to kill Jeremy (Pope). But as the season progresses, the pair begin to connect over their shared loneliness. The Assassin opens up about taking “The Beauty” after being severely injured, a decision that forced him to leave his family behind. Jeremy, meanwhile, is a “damaged incel desperate to feel seen and loved,” Pope explains below. “What’s wild about watching [their relationship] is that, you know how you meet those people in your life where you feel like you’ve known them your whole life — you have that instant thing, right?” Kutcher tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Them having that and the …

Anthony Is Unbeknownst Star of Season 2

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jury Duty is returning for its highly anticipated second installment, and Prime Video is giving viewers a first look at its latest unbeknownst star, Anthony. Entitled Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, Prime Video released the first trailer for the docu-comedy on Thursday, introducing the audience to Anthony, the man who has no idea that he’s surrounded by a bunch of actors. Instead, Anthony believes he’s been hired as a temporary worker attending an annual company retreat for hot sauce company Rockin’ Grandma’s. The trailer sees Anthony introduced to the new, outlandish group of employees. At part of the center of the season’s drama is the potential sale of Rockin’ Grandma’s, which was originally slated to be taken over by the company head’s son. “If they think they can just come in and do whatever they feel like they wanna do, they’re in for a rude awakening,” Anthony says at one point in the trailer when the potential buyers of the hot sauce company are introduced. “I care about y’all. This is a family.” Season two …
