Bryan Cranston Teases Wild Madonna Scene in ‘The Studio’ Season 2

Bryan Cranston Teases Wild Madonna Scene in ‘The Studio’ Season 2

Published by Daniella Wilson

Fans of The Studio should prepare to witness a wild scene with Bryan Cranston and Madonna in season two. The Breaking Bad alum teased the upcoming sequence during a recent interview with Access Hollywood, saying it involves a game of truth or dare. “In this next season of the studio, I do something in front of Madonna,” Cranston said. “In a truth or dare test, and it’s a dare. And I do something that will either raise my street cred very high or destroy my career. It’s one of the two. But I guarantee you, you will utter to yourselves, ‘Oh my god!’ You will be watching this like this [Cranston brings his hands to his face in shock] and you will not believe [it].” The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the pop icon was spotted filming the Apple TV+ satirical comedy series in Venice, Italy. Though details surrounding Madonna’s role haven’t been revealed, chaos should be expected if Bryan Cranston’s Griffin Mill, the eccentric CEO of Continental Studios, is involved. The Malcolm in the …

Watch this brilliant Bryan Cranston drama series before it leaves Netflix

Published by skeptic

More than any other streaming service, Netflix has a huge wealth of movies and TV shows to watch. It’s impossible to watch it all, partly because new content cycles in and out all the time. If you don’t act quick, there are some great shows that will be gone before you’ve gotten a chance to see them. Case in point: Your Honor is a terrific legal drama that ran for two seasons on Showtime. Based on the Israeli show Kvodo, it stars Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and it’s leaving Netflix at the end of the month. Your Honor is a natural follow-up to Breaking Bad Less meth, more gavels Most every TV fan knows that Breaking Bad starred Cranston as Walter White, a mild-mannered chemistry teacher who turned to drug-dealing to support his family, but who was so taken with the criminal lifestyle that he eventually pushed them away. Oddly enough, Your Honor sets him on a similar path. Cranston plays Michael Desiato, a respected New Orleans judge. In the series premiere, Michael’s son Adam …

The country singer, 30, deactivated his X and Instagram accounts after a longtime fan shared a video of an awkward moment from last weekend in Mississippi. In the video posted Wednesday, the fan — whose name is Logan — approaches Bryan and asks for a picture while the musician drives a truck with the windows down. However, Bryan began talking before Logan approached him, and appeared to quote Netflix’s sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson by shouting something about a “c**shot.” Logan could be heard gasping in the video and shared in the caption of the video: “I gotten there really early to be at the gates and saw him as I was walking up. I don’t take it …

Brookside star Bryan Murray has been placed into full-time care, his wife has revealed. The actor, who played Trevor Jordache on the soap, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2019 but continued to work on Irish soap Fair City until he retired last year. Speaking last month to mark the launch of the Alzheimer’s Tea Day 2026, Murray’s wife and former Fair City co-star Una Crawford O’Brien gave fans an update on his situation. She said: “Over the past year, Bryan’s needs became far greater, and he has now moved into full-time care. Up until now I didn’t have time to think.

You can find out more about how to get involved at the Alzheimer Society of Ireland’s official website. “Myself and Bryan would really love you to join us,” she said of the day. “You can take …

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni Attorney, Linked to Smear Against Opposing Counsel

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni Attorney, Linked to Smear Against Opposing Counsel

Published by Daniella Wilson

Top entertainment attorney Bryan Freedman, who’s referred to himself as a “pit bull,” has an outsized reputation for aggression. “If you fuck with my client, you get what you get,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024. Last year, he was accused of throwing a mock punch at opposing counsel amid a dispute over his client Vin Diesel’s deposition. More recently, Freedman and his business associates have been connected in court to an alleged playbook of online smear campaigns on behalf of themselves and their clients — such as Rebel Wilson — against a wide range of adversaries. The effort to discredit appears to have been carried out using sock-puppet social media accounts that promoted anonymous attack websites. Freedman previously told THR that he and the others were not involved in this activity and derided the allegations as “speculation presented as fact.” One apparent target, the actress-turned-activist Alexa Nikolas, has named the lawyer as well as digital fixer Jed Wallace and crisis publicist Melissa Nathan as defendants in her defamation case. The same trio has …

Convicted spyware maker Bryan Fleming avoids jail at sentencing

Convicted spyware maker Bryan Fleming avoids jail at sentencing

Published by skeptic

The first convicted spyware maker in over a decade has avoided jail time after earlier pleading guilty to U.S. federal charges associated with running his surveillance company. Bryan Fleming was sentenced on Friday in a San Diego federal court to time served and a $5,000 fine, confirmed a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California, whose office brought the charges against Fleming. During a plea hearing in January following a years-long federal investigation into his spyware company, pcTattletale, Fleming admitted to making, selling, and advertising spyware for unlawful uses. Prosecutors had previously asked the judge for Fleming to receive no custodial sentence or fine. Image Credits:YouTube (screenshot) Fleming’s criminal conviction marks the first successful prosecution of a spyware maker by the U.S. Department of Justice since 2014, potentially opening the door to future prosecutions against others with illegal surveillance operations.  Fleming’s attorney, Marcus Bourassa, did not respond to a request for comment when contacted by TechCrunch. Investigators with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a unit within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, brought …

Bryan Cranston on his new role – inspired by the complicated relationship with his father | Ents & Arts News

Published by Daniella Wilson

Bryan Cranston says there’s a lot of his father in his latest stage role, playing Joseph Keller, the patriarch of Arthur Miller’s 1947 tragedy All My Sons. He was “an incredibly handsome man”, he jokes, before expanding on their relationship later in life. Cranston tells Sky News: “I remember taking my father to therapy once. And he recited back to me and my siblings. We thought this was a great breakthrough [that we’d be] able to finally talk about his past and the war. “It wasn’t that way. He was too closed down. He quoted Oedipus. I don’t think he realised it, but he did. He said: ‘I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than go through that again.’ It’s like, that’s how painful it was.” It wasn’t the ideal father-son relationship, with Joseph Cranston, a jobbing actor and scriptwriter, walking out on his family when Bryan was just 11. They would reconnect years later and stay in contact until Joseph’s death in 2014, aged 90, but the damage had been done. Now 70 himself, …

‘Taking my clothes off is my whole life!’ Bryan Cranston on the glorious gross-out return of Malcolm in the Middle | Television

Published by Sam Flores

The intro to the new Malcolm in the Middle is quite the thing. Kids punch police officers. Santa Claus gets kicked in the face. A barrel full of faeces detonates inside a family car. This recap of previous episodes is so full of gross-out comedy and family fights that a grandma grabs her teenage grandson and crushes his testicles until he squeals. “And,” intones a voiceover at its end, “someone actually asked for more of this.” Did they? It’s been 20 years since the Emmy-winning sitcom about an outrageous working-class US family with the titular child genius went off air. It’s a show whose fans remember it fondly for never dipping in quality throughout its seven seasons. But were they really clamouring for more? “It was in all the magazines,” says Frankie Muniz, AKA lead character Malcolm. In 2015, he casually tweeted that it would be “so cool” to catch up with the characters and “I couldn’t believe the response. I was shocked.” Although, really, he shouldn’t have been. After all, he’s spent decades getting …

Kerouac typed his bestselling novel On the Road as a continuous manuscript scroll in 1951 without paragraph breaks or chapter divisions. It is 120ft long by 9in wide with hundreds of sheets of paper taped together end to end in a single roll. Irsay paid the equivalent of $3.2 million for the scroll in 2001.
