R.I.P. Andy Williams: “Moon River” Singer Dies at 84
Andy Williams, the man who famously lent his voice to the Oscar-winning song "Moon River" from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' passed away on Tuesday at his home in Branson, Missouri after a long battle with bladder cancer.
Williams first made his cancer public knowledge in November 2011 when he made the announcement on stage at the Andy Williams Moon River Theater. But he assured fans that he wanted to fight it and that he didn't consider the diagnosis a "death sentence."
NBC Renews ‘The Voice’ for Fifth and Sixth Seasons
Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' is getting renewed for both a fifth and sixth season is proof of that.
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Child Stars Are Still Living in Destitution Despite Box Office Success
'Slumdog Millionaire' was the main movie attraction of 2008, and it has eight Oscars, including the one for Best Picture, to prove it. Compared to the grand scheme of movie budgets, the film started off with generally low funding (estimated $15 million) and has since raked in more than $141 million world wide at the box office.
Aside from this success, 'Slumdog's' story of a Mumbai teen growing up in the slums to win the grand prize on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' was made all the more special for including castmembers Azhar Ismail and Rubina Ali -- both of who portrayed the lead characters' younger selves in the film and both of who were living in the real-life Mumbai slums. On the surface, it seemed like everything was finally going well for these kids once filming ended, but when the two flew back home after sharing in the Oscar celebrations, their lives were just as destitute as before.

‘The Great Gatsby’ Gets an Official Release Date for May 2013
One of the most anticipated movies this year was supposed to be 'The Great Gatsby,' the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel adapted for the big screen and directed by Baz Lurhmann. That is, until Warner Bros. pulled the film's December release date -- where it was set to go up against 'The Hobbit' and 'Django Unchained' -- even after the studio already teased us with an incredible trailer featuring the glamorous-looking Leonardo DiCaprio all suited up.
We were then left in the dark when it was revealed the movie would be pushed back until next summer with no release date set in stone... until now! So, when will we officially get to see DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and their fellow stars all dolled up for the screen?
NBC Skips 9/11 “Moment of Silence” for Kardashian Interview
As if we needed another reason to hate the Kardashians...
At 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, most national news outlets took a break from their regular programming to air a special "moment of silence" from New York City and Washington D.C. to honor the victims of 9/11. We say "most" because, as it turns out, not everyone was a participant. While FOX, CBS, ABC, CNBC and MSNBC went quiet at this time, which was the moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the Twin Towers, NBC continued on with the 'Today' show, which just so happened to feature an interview with Kris Jenner of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'
