A few days shy of "Salem" premiere, WGN America has debuted another trailer for the new series. The promo video captures the fear that turns the beautiful and peaceful village into a bleak town full of sinister.

"There's something worse than a witch hunt," says Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery, "Entourage"), a member of Salem's elite who also happens to be a powerful sorceress. Things get complicated as she, years ago, fell in love with John Alden (Shane West, "Nikita"). Serving as a soldier for years in wars, John returns home only to find his village whipped into a witch-hunting frenzy.

Set in the 17th century Massachusetts, "Salem" explores what really fueled the town's infamous witch trials and dares to uncover the dark, supernatural truth behind them. On the show, witches are real, but they are not who or what they seem. It centers on an epic romance wrapped around this explosive revelation and delivers a bold new vision of Salem - and an even bolder new vision of witches.

Supported by Seth Gabel, Ashley Madekwe, Xander Berkeley, Tamzin Merchant and Elise Eberle in the cast ensemble, the supernatural series will debut Sunday, April 20 at 10 P.M. ET on WGN America.

ABC has revealed the first promo poster for the 10th season of "The Bachelorette". The poster features the close-up photo of Andi Dorfman, who was announced as the upcoming season's Bachelorette last month.

The poster also features a little shot at former Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis. "She's looking for the right Juan," it reads. However, "Juan" is crossed out and then replaced with the word "one" written in red letters.

Dorfman, a 26-year-old assistant district attorney from Atlanta, dramatically exited the 18th season of "The Bachelor" following a disastrous fantasy-suite date with Galavis, who's currently dating the show's winner Nikki Ferrell.

"I think he thinks he was a very good Bachelor," Dorfman said during the "Women Tell All" special back in February. She then called Galavis "borderline narcissistic to the point where he was going to go down as the best 'el bachelor' in history."

The new season of "The Bachelorette" is set to premiere on May 19.

Since Spider-Man's creator Stan Lee is Jewish, many have wondered if the web slinger is a Jew himself. Now Andrew Garfield, the actor who plays the hero in Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise, has finally confirmed the speculation.

"Spider-man is neurotic," he tells The Independent. "Peter Parker is not a simple dude. He can't just switch off. He never feels like he's doing enough. And Peter suffers from self-doubt. He ums and ahs about his future because he's neurotic."

"He's Jewish. It's a defining feature," the actor continues. "I hope Jewish people won't mind the cliche, because my father's Jewish. I have that in me for sure. He's an over-thinker. It would be much easier if he was a life-saving robot."

"He is misunderstood , like Jesus," he adds. "I don't mind the Jesus parallel for Spider-Man. Jesus is an awesome guy. When Pontius Pilate said, 'They say you're the son of God. If you're the son of God tell me.' Jesus was like, 'I know who I am, b***h.' "

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will arrive in U.S. theaters on May 2, while "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" will follow on June 10, 2016. A fourth film which may or may not be another "Amazing Spider-Man" installment is scheduled for May 4, 2018. Spin-offs that include "Venom (2017)" and "The Sinister Six" are currently in the works as well.

Cheryl Cole set to cash in on X Factor fame with range of products? Cheryl Cole talcum powder anyone?


Cheryl Cole’s not just a pretty face, oh no! She’s got her business brains too, and to make sure she earns all she can from her return to The X Factor she has earmarked a range of 50 products to put her name to.
She’s already a spokesmodel for L’Oreal, but expect to see anything from Cheryl branded toothpaste to talcum powder as the former Girls Aloud singer made a formal application to the Intellectual Property Office on 19 March listing at least 50 different products.

Of course, this could just be a move to stop other people from cashing in on her fame, but according to The Mirror Cheryl has plans to use her name to make some serious dosh.

“She will once again become one of the most popular and talked about female celebs in Britain, and is determined to maximise the exposure,

“Anything she puts her name to will sell. Young girls want to look like her, or smell like her, and if they think they can do that by buying Cheryl’s eponymous range of moisturisers, eyelashes and perfumes, then they will,” explains an insider.

If she could invent something to give us some cute Cheryl dimples we’d buy it.

Kate Middleton's Royal Tour outfits: 'William said I look like a banana'

Kate Middleton's Royal Tour outfits: 'William said I look like a banana'
Above, a banana. Below, the Duchess of Cambridge. WE THINK.
 

TREASON ALERT: How do we say this without ending up in the Tower of London with our head on a spike and ravens pecking out our eyes? We just don't think Prince William gets fashion.

The heir to the throne apparently told wife Kate Middleton that she looked like a banana when she stepped out in a very on-trend (soz Wills) bright yellow Roksanda Ilincic dress for today's trip to Sydney Opera House.

The pair - along with baby son Prince George - have been on a Royal tour of New Zealand and Australia for the last few days, and the Duchess of Cambridge has been seriously stepping up the style stakes… no thanks to her clueless husband.

Royal fan Heather Easton was in the awaiting crowd when the famous couple got to the iconic opera house, and told reporters that she had complimented Kate on her striking outfit.

The Duchess apparently replied, "William said I look like a banana." What do you even say to that? Like, how are you supposed to carry on a conversation after that bombshell? C'mon Kate, you're meant to be putting people at ease, not leaving them opening and closing their mouths like goldfish and frantically casting around for a different topic of convo.

It's not the first time the Royal couple have had disagreements with Kate's choice of outfit, with Wills apparently telling K-Middy that the green Erdam coat was a "bit bright".

Channing Tatum Has Met With 'X-Men' Producer About Playing Gambit

Channing Tatum has apparently entered discussions to play Gambit. The "White House Down" hunk confirms to MTV in a new interview, "I met with ['X-Men' producer] Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I've ever loved."

"I mean I've loved them all," he adds. "They're all great, but I guess from being down south - my dad's from Louisiana, I'm from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida - I don't know. I just related to him. He's just kind of suave... He's the most un X-Men X-Man that's ever been in 'X-Men'. Other than maybe Wolverine, who's like the anti-hero."

"He's a thief," the actor continues explaining what he loves about Gambit. "He's not even a hero. He's kind of walking the line of grey...He loves women and drinking and smoking and stuff so he's just a cool guy who happens to have a moral center...."

"I hope it does [comes together]. You never know it's a weird industry. If the stars align, I would die to play it," he says, before adding further, "I'm already working on the accent. It's crappy at the moment."

Gambit is a Cajun card player who first appeared in "X-Men" cinematic universe through 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". His alter ego, Remy LeBeau, was initially set to be played by Tatum in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand", but the character was cut off from the storyline.

When the ladies man was finally included in "Wolverine", Taylor Kitsch was tapped to tackle the role because Tatum was already attached to "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra".

Aside from eying a Gambit solo film, "X-Men" producers have also expressed their desire to give more depth to Deadpool and Mystique. The former was portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the first "Wolverine" solo movie, and the later was played by Rebecca Romijn in the first three "X-Men" installments. Jennifer Lawrence played a younger Mystique in 2011's "X-Men: First Class" and reprises her role in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" due May 23. A sequel, "X-Men: Apocalypse", is set for May 27, 2016.

Rosie O'Donnell is no fan of "Lindsay". In fact, the TV personality has blasted the show, taking to Twitter on Sunday, April 13 to express her opinion, "The Lindsay show is a tragedy - on every level - I hope one day she gets sober for real and watches these episodes - n sees what we all do."

The reality show that airs every Sunday on OWN captures Lindsay Lohan's attempt to stay sober after completing her rehab stint last summer. It follows the former Disney star as she reunites with friends and family all the while trying to build her new life while living in the spotlight.

The 27-year-old actress/singer blamed editing for creating the drama on the eight-part documentary. She told David Letterman when she recently visited his "Late Show", "Some things are taken out of context and that creates the drama and the spectacle."

"I don't have control of the editing, I am producer, but I don't have control of that aspect of it," she continued. "But it's pretty raw. I mean, it's just me kind of sorting out life again and figuring things out. Taking new steps and living in like, sober-minded, it's a process."

As for O'Donnell, she hosted "The Rosie Show" which aired on OWN from 2011-2012 before it was canceled due to low ratings.
