J.K. Rowling's 'The Casual Vacancy' Is Nothing Like 'Harry Potter' In First Trailer

Hedwig, we're not in Hogwarts anymore.

The trailer for "The Casual Vacancy," J.K. Rowling's upcoming HBO miniseries, has finally hit the Internet, and if you didn't know already, this is no "Harry Potter." Remember when there was all that controversy over Mrs. Weasley saying the word "bitch"? Well, this blows that away in the first 10 seconds.

"The Casual Vacancy," based on Rowling's 2012 novel of the same name, involves a murder, a small town going crazy and even a possible ghost. (Hmm, maybe it's not that far from "HP" after all?) Plus, Albus Dumbledore, aka actor Michael Gambon, is back, so 10 points to Rowling!

Parts one and two of "The Casual Vacancy" will air Wednesday, April 29, on HBO. Part three will air Thursday, April 30.

Scott Disick Plans To Return To Rehab

Scott Disick, longtime beau of Kourtney Kardashian, is planning to return to the Costa Rica rehab facility where he spent a week earlier this month. In an exclusive interview with People magazine published Saturday, the reality TV star opened up about his stay at the Rhythmia Life Advancement Center and his intentions to go back.

"The funny thing is, a lot of people were under the impression that I was going to this rehab facility in Costa Rica for a month, when the truth was, I was going for a week for one treatment that they have there," Disick told the magazine, referring to speculation that he'd left his program early. "I'm not done. I plan to go back to this place."

Disick first announced his decision to enter the facility in a press release on March 16.

"I realize my issues are bigger than me and I'm ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle," he said in the release. "While I have been unconvinced in the past of treatment and therapy methods, Rythmia's rehab approach puts my worries at ease."

Representatives for Disick and the Kardashian family did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Charles Barkley Calls Indiana's New 'Religious Freedom' Law 'Unacceptable'

A new "religious freedom" law in Indiana has NCAA basketball analyst and NBA legend Charles Barkley calling foul -- and calling on officials to move next week's March Madness Final Four tournament out of the state.

"Discrimination in any form is unacceptable to me,” Barkley said in a statement Friday afternoon. “As long as anti-gay legislation exists in any state, I strongly believe big events such as the Final Four and Super Bowl should not be held in those states’ cities.”

The legislation, signed into law Thursday by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), does not explicitly mention discrimination against gays or anyone else. Rather, it "prohibits state or local governments from substantially burdening a person's ability to exercise their religion," according to The Indianapolis Star.

But critics say the bill could give businesses a legal foothold to refuse service to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in the name of religious freedom.

Barkley's remarks echo the NCAA's own position, which President Mark Emmert voiced Thursday in a prepared statement.

"The NCAA national office and our members are deeply committed to providing an inclusive environment for all our events," said Emmert. "We are especially concerned about how this legislation could affect our student-athletes and employees. We will work diligently to assure student-athletes competing in, and visitors attending, next week’s Men’s Final Four in Indianapolis are not impacted negatively by this bill."

"Moving forward, we intend to closely examine the implications of this bill and how it might affect future events as well as our workforce," Emmert's statement continued.

Reggie Miller, a former NBA star who spent 18 years playing for the Indiana Pacers, also voiced concerns over the law, sending this message Friday to his 651,000 followers on Twitter:




Many other prominent figures have spoken out against the law, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who promptly canceled the company's planned events in the state following the bill's passage.

Hugh Jackman's time as Wolverine may be coming to an end.

The actor, who has portrayed the "X-Men" character since the beginning of the franchise in 2000, hinted on Instagram on Saturday that he may be doing that just one more time.

WOLVERINE ...ONE LAST TIME. HJ

Cinemablend reported rumors earlier this week that Wolverine will indeed make an appearance in the upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse." Could this be the appearance Jackman is talking about? Without Jackman as Wolverine, will the franchise crumble to pieces? We'd guess probably not, but one should never underestimate the Power of Jackman.

8 Facts That'll Change How You View 'The Breakfast Club,' According To The Cast

$

In the same way that people are more than just a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess or a criminal, "The Breakfast Club" is more than just a movie. Released 30 years ago last month, John Hughes' classic film transcends generations and continues to reach new fans today. In fact, because of its popularity, it was recently rereleased in theaters and given a newly restored DVD and BluRay, providing the cast with an opportunity to reminisce about their time on set.

Though the movie has been around almost a third of a century now, there are still a lot of things about it that a lot of fans don't know. In honor of "The Breakfast Club's" 30th anniversary, HuffPost Entertainment talked to cast members Ally Sheedy, aka Allison Reynolds, and John Kapelos, aka janitor Carl Reed, about behind-the-scenes moments and stories that have never quite been told in full detail.

She's the basket case, he's the eyes and ears of the institution, and these are eight facts you might not know:

1. Judd Nelson wasn't almost fired JUST for picking on Molly Ringwald. He also couldn't stay in the shots.





By now you may have heard that Nelson, who played the volatile John Bender, was nearly let go from the film. Though his picking on Ringwald was a large part of that, Sheedy explained to HuffPost Entertainment that there was more to the story.

"Judd kind of does this very free-ranging thing with his body. You can see it in the movie," said Sheedy. "He’s not great at hitting marks, and he wanted to move around and stuff, and I think they were having trouble keeping him in shot."

The story goes that the cast went to Hughes and pleaded with him to keep Nelson on the project. They also talked to Nelson about how he could help himself out. "If I remember correctly, we all talked to him. The four of us. And I think my thing about it was just focus, just focus, just focus," said Sheedy.

2. The topless scene wasn't the only scandalous moment removed. There was also a risque scene involving "MILFs."

Sheedy confirmed that a topless scene involving a swimming teacher was cut out of the film, saying: "I think John [Hughes] didn’t want to have it in the movie. I think he thought it didn’t really work for him."

Kapelos later added to the story, telling HuffPost that there was more to the scandalous moment. "I think there was also a scene with a bunch of MILFs or middle-aged cougar women who were doing an aerobics class in the gym and were really letting it go. I think there was a lascivious moment there," he said. "But you know... it's like putting a bow on an elephant. It just doesn’t belong there."

3. Rick Moranis, who was originally cast as the janitor, didn't just play the part as a Russian. He was also doing something suggestive with his keys.

Moranis, who'd appeared in "Ghostbusters" the year before, was originally cast to play the janitor in "The Breakfast Club," and Sheedy even says she was "a little star struck" by him while filming. Things didn't work out, of course, and Moranis was soon replaced by Kapelos.

According to the script, the janitor is meant to be a former student of the high school, as indicated by his picture in the case at the beginning of the film. But when it came to Moranis' portrayal, Kapelos said the actor and producers didn't have "a meeting of the creative minds at that moment."

"From what I was told," said Kapelos, "he wanted to play the character as a Russian with gold teeth and keys between his legs, playing with it provocatively... and so it’s like, it wasn’t organic, I guess is putting it politely and correctly."

4. No, Ally Sheedy did not really use her dandruff as an art project.

Though it's reported that many scenes in the film were improvised, the scene where Allison Reynolds draws in the library isn't one of them.

Sheedy explains the scene was always in the film, and though she doesn't know who actually drew the picture, she did set the record straight on one detail. The actress explained that dandruff she scratched out of her hair wasn't actually dandruff or even Parmesan cheese as previously thought. "I think it was potato flakes of some kind," Sheedy said.

5. There's a dark answer to Judd Nelson's question, "How does one become a janitor?"

A memorable moment happens when John Bender asks Kapelos' character "how one becomes a janitor." Though it's clear Bender is just doing it to irk him, it turns out there was an answer to the question after all.

"Really? You want to know?" laughed Kapelos when HuffPost Entertainment repeated Bender's question. The actor then went into his character's dark history, saying: "You have to have your heart broken by your teenage sweetheart in your third year of university when you’re doing a great football scholarship. Drop out. Lose her heart. Lose her affection. Make sure her father hates you even more and will never include you in his future plans. Even if you try to make up to her. And then you get a job at your old high school as a janitor, and you try to lick your wounds. That’s how you become a janitor. That’s Carl's pathetic backstory."

6. A cut scene shows that Allison wasn't smoking pot with the others because she was actually off somewhere singing.




A variety of scenes from the movie were cut from the final film, and Sheedy recalled one that was a big moment for her character.

"John [Hughes] let me shoot something with Allison alone in the audiovisual tiny room, singing a capella," she told HuffPost. "That was something I just came up with. Singing a little song to herself. And that was, for me, the emotional transition that was when they were smoking pot."

"She sang the song to herself and then she walked out of the room and just joined the group," Sheedy went on. "So that wasn’t in the script, and he actually let me shoot it. He shot it twice, and then afterwards said that everybody sort of thought it was a little bit too weird."

7. Principal Vernon's anger was totally real.

Hughes allowed a lot of improvisation in the movie, and one moment that made it into the film was the conversation between Carl and Paul Gleason's character, Principal Richard Vernon, after the janitor catches Vernon going through confidential files.

"John Hughes just told me before the take, 'Cut him off and ask him for 50 bucks.' So I did," said Kapelos. "And if you see the movie again, take a look at Paul's reaction, because it’s real. He was really [ticked off]. And after John Hughes yelled 'cut,' it got a little funky for a bit. He was like, 'Really?' He got annoyed. We got the take on that one."

8. Kapelos told Emilio Estevez that if he'd been present for Martin Sheen's 1977 heart attack, he would have just let it happen... not knowing that Sheen was Estevez's father.

Though he explained that no one has really told the story correctly, Kapelos says that one day on set he did call out Estevez and Nelson for goofing off while he was shooting a scene. He told HuffPost: "I'm on a movie set, and I'm scared, you know, shitless. I want to do well. They’re trying to make me crack up. They’re goofing off."

To get Estevez and Nelson to stop, Kapelos said, he told them: "You guys would’ve been great if you were on the set of 'Apocalypse Now' with Martin Sheen, and he goes in front of you and starts having his heart attack, and you’re not believing he’s in trouble, and he’s just wincing and moaning in pain and ripping at his chest and you guys would just sit there and let him have his heart attack, right?"

"In other words," Kapelos told HuffPost, "I was saying, 'Hey, I'm up here struggling. I’m in pain, and you guys are just letting me wither on the vine.'"

That's not how Estevez took it, though. "All of a sudden Emilio's face goes white. Like, I'm telling you, expressionless and white. And everybody's looking at me like I just shot the pope." Hughes told Kapelos that Estevez was Sheen's son, and though Kapelos was "flummoxed" and apologetic, it was too late. Estevez never accepted an apology. "The garage door was going down," said Kapelos. "That’s all Emilio wrote."

Bonus trivia: Ally Sheedy doesn't actually eat breakfast.


Image: Giphy


She's a member of "The Breakfast Club," but Sheedy says breakfast isn't actually her thing. "I never, ever eat it. Ever," she told HuffPost. "I really just like to get that caffeine going in the morning and just have that buzz as long as possible."

Happy anniversary, "Breakfast Club." Here's to another 30 years!

Just weeks after aspiring model and actress Karrueche Tran discovered that boyfriend Chris Brown is the alleged father of a 9-month-old baby by another woman, she sat down with Iyanla Vanzant in an OWN primetime special to discuss where their relationship currently stands. Though Tran has been blasted on social media many times for taking back the man who lied and betrayed her, she tells Iyanla in the above video how this time will be different.

"How did you find out he had a baby by another woman, that he's not married to?" Iyanla asks Tran.

"Honestly, through social media," Tran admits. She says that Chris tried to reach out to talk in person, but it was too late. Headlines like "Chris Brown Surprise … I'm a Father!" and "Chris Brown's Baby Drama 'Totally Blindsided' Girlfriend Karrueche Tran" were everywhere.

Tran makes it clear that she's not angry with the baby's mother. "My issue is with myself and with Chris," she says. "Not the baby, not the mother, not Rihanna, nobody. It's me and him."

Though they are longer a couple, Tran reveals she has spoken with Brown since their split. "He said he's sorry, he's dropped flowers off and tried to, you know, say sorry and be back in good graces," she says. "He's sorry for what he put me through."

"And how can he possibly make that up to you?" Iyanla asks.

"Now? It ain't no making up right now. No, there's no making up right now," Tran says. "I'm trying to be my strongest and I understand what he's put me through and I'm fed up with it."

Iyanla gives the 26-year-old some tough love. "Not only what he put you through, but what you voluntarily participated in. Because Karrueche, you could have said no at any moment."

"It's definitely on me as well," Tran admits. "And that's why I said I let myself down."

Iyanla asks if this four-year roller coaster ride of a relationship is really over. "Do you really think you'd ever go back to him?"

Tran takes a moment to think, shaking her head. "No," she says. "Right now, I'm saying no."

Destiny's Child said yes to a reunion this weekend.

Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland joined Michelle Williams onstage Saturday at the 30th Annual Stellar Gospel Awards in Las Vegas. The trio sang Williams' gospel track "Say Yes" in a surprise performance that was actually a surprise this time. According to Rolling Stone, neither Williams nor Destiny's Child were listed as performers at this year's awards. The last time DC reunited onstage was at the 2013 Super Bowl XLVII halftime show.

The ladies previously reunited to record Williams' "Say Yes" in the studio last year and joined Williams in the music video for the song.

Williams also took home her first Stellar Award on Saturday night for Music Video of the Year for "Say Yes." The gospel singer was also nominated for Urban/Inspiration Single of the Year and Song of the Year for "Say Yes," as well as Female Vocalist of the Year for her album "Journey to Freedom." Williams thanked Beyoncé and Rowland in an Instagram post after her win.





The Stellar Awards ceremony will air April 5 on TV One. Watch Destiny's Child's full performance above.

The Rock Obama Returned To 'SNL' This Weekend To Go After Ted Cruz

The Rock Obama is back, and he means business as usual.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reprised his role this weekend on "Saturday Night Live" as President Barack Obama's alter-ego, The Rock Obama, a super-aggressive version of the real-life POTUS. As Johnson explains, The Rock Obama is just like Barack Obama -- except larger and more violent.

In a meeting with government leaders in the sketch, he casually throws Speaker of the House John Boehner (Taran Killam) out a window, rips off Sen. Tom Cotton's (Kyle Mooney) hand, and attempts to crush Sen. Ted Cruz's (Bobby Moynihan) head.

And, as it turns out, Michelle Obama (Sasheer Zamata) has her own alter-ego when she gets aggravated, too.

George R.R. Martin Won't Write A 'Game Of Thrones' Season 6 Episode

"Game of Thrones" fans get a treat each season when author George R.R. Martin pens an episode, but now they'll have to face back-to-back disappointments.

The author of the book series A Song of Ice and Fire already announced that he wouldn't be writing an episode for the upcoming fifth season of the HBO series. Martin took to his personal blog on Friday to announce that he won't be penning an episode for "Game of Thrones" Season 6 either, saying he made the decision so he can devote more time to finishing his book.

Fans know Martin has been hard at work finishing up the series' next novel, The Winds of Winter. He's so eager to finish that he's canceled appearances at two upcoming conventions: the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs, New York, and San Diego Comic-Con.

"Writing a season six script would cost me a month's work on WINDS, and maybe as much as six weeks, and I cannot afford that," Martin wrote. "My energies are best devoted to WINDS."

The push to finish Book 6 in the series that "Game of Thrones" is based on is not only to please readers, but also for the benefit of the HBO show. Previous seasons of "GoT" followed Martin's books rather closely, but now the show is catching up to the books, something Martin hoped wouldn't happen.

Martin has already acknowledged Season 5 will deviate from the books, and showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have revealed that the show will spoil the ending of the novels eventually. We can't blame Martin for wanting to finish Book 6, but hopefully he'll have some time to write a Season 7 episode, especially if that ends up being the final season.

"Game of Thrones" returns on April 12 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
