Magic City: The Movie is Coming!

We were so disappointed when we found out that the most beautiful show on television wasn't coming back for another season. We were addicted to the storyline and the stunning visuals of Starz's original series Magic City and now there's some good news, Mitch Glazer's stunning series is going Hollywood and a movie is in the works.

Bill Murray Fills Us In on Details of Some Infamous Bill Murray Stories

Bill Murray isn't a big fan of sequels, but if Ghostbusters 3 is all femaile, he'd go watch that in a second. He'd cast Emma Stone, Melissa McCarthy, Linda Cardellini. He also thinks all the Parks and Recreation women are very funny, like Amy Poehler, and Rashida Jones. He loves Kristin Wiig too but stops short when the audience calls out Betty White.

The Changing Tides of Saturday Night Live with James Miller

if you want to try to understand the reach of the show, one place to get a good start is by reading "Live From New York: The Complete Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars, Writers and Guests." Authors and historians Tom Shales and Jim Miller conducted, compiled and edited the massive collection which tells the story of SNL through (as the title suggests) uncensored interviews with the cast, crew and guest hosts. Even at two lbs, and 800 pages, its the kind of book you can't put down with its fill of historical record, touching moments, fights, love, hate, and even backstage gossip. The original edition covering the first 25 years of Saturday Night Live was released in 2002, but a brand new release brings the book up to date covering the entire 40 year history. We couldn't wait to talk with author Jim Miller about the new edition, and the changes that have taken place during the last decade and a half.
