Baywatch: Billions’ Hadera is The Rock’s Love Interest
Ilfenesh Hadera (Billions) has been cast in Paramount Pictures' upcoming Baywatch movie.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson -- who is starring in and producing the film -- broke the news on Instagram, revealing Hadera will play Stef, the love interest of Johnson's character. "She's a 5'11 walkin' smokestack with legs for days," wrote Johnson. "Smart and tougher than new rope... just the way we like 'em."

Hadera's other credits include Spike Lee's Chi-Raq and HBO's Show Me a Hero. She joins Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra, and Sports Illustrated model Kelly Rohrbach in the comedy. Johnson teased the studio still has a few "big announcements" and "cool surprises" for the film.
Watch Outtakes from SNL’s Star Wars Sketch
Saturday Night Live has released outtakes from its buzzed-about Star Wars: The Force Awakens sketch starring Adam Driver.
The outtakes (via io9) show Driver along with costars Taran Killam and Bobby Moynihan breaking at various points, some alternative dialogue and jokes, and Leslie Jones going on an extended riff while she berates Driver's character "Matt." Plus, you get to see Moynihan crashing into the snack machine over and over again.
The original sketch played with the Kylo Ren persona, featuring the feared Starkiller Base leader donning a disguise as a radar technician to speak with his underlings in an episode of Undercover Boss. As you might imagine, it didn't go well.
Top 10 X-Files Guest Stars
Since several hundred actors made guest appearances during The X-Files' nine-season run, coming up with a top ten list was a daunting task. But, with Agents Mulder and Scully returning to TV for brand new episodes this Sunday, with guest stars like Joel McHale, Annet Mahendru and Robbie Amell along for the six-episode run, we thought a look back at the greatest guest performers of the past was in order.
From alien abductees to murderous monsters to demons on the prowl, The X-Files gave us some truly memorable characters, ranging from tragic to terrifying. Here's the best of the bunch...
Airdate: 10/14/1994
As Special Agent/FBI hostage negotiator Lucy Kazdin, CCH Pounder creates the perfect guest character; one we sense has a very interesting back-story, even though it's never told to us.
Capt. Phasma’s Outfit Originally Designed for Kylo Ren
Star Wars: The Force Awakens costume designer Michael Kaplan has shed light on the origins of Captain Phasma's iconic costume, revealing the outfit was originally designed for Kylo Ren.
"When I was trying to tackle Kylo Ren's character, I thought, what if he were The Lord of the Stormtroopers, in bright shining silver armor?" Kaplan explained in an interview with Clothes on Film. However, director J.J. Abrams shot down the look after seeing a sketch by one of Kaplan's concept artists.
While Abrams didn't believe it was the right look for Ren, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy spotted the illustration on their design room wall and loved the look, saying: "What is that? It’s fantastic!" Following Kennedy's positive response to the sketch, Abrams created Captain Phasma and cast Gwendoline Christie for the part.
Who’s Who in DC’s Suicide Squad Movie
Batman v Superman isn't the only epic DC movie fans have to look forward to this year. Suicide Squad will be shining a light on the villains of the DC Universe as the members of Task Force X assemble on the big screen for the first time.
While some characters in Suicide Squad have already become iconic, the team as a whole may not be familiar to those who haven't read the comics or watched their appearances in the TV series Arrow. That's why we've put together this guide that breaks down each member of the team, their origin and powers from the comics, and how similar the movie and comic versions appear to be at this point.
