VH1's "Hit the Floor" Goes Inside the Scandalous World of Professional Basketball


Piotr Sikora/VH1(NEW YORK) -- Hit the Floor is VH1's new sexy and scandalous drama centered on the Los Angeles Devil Girls, a fictional professional basketball dance team, and what goes on inside the big arena.

And a lot goes on as the team captain deals with a new crop of girls coming to steal the spotlight, while veteran dancers deal with the consequences of fraternizing with the players, a big no no for dancers that seems all too common with the Devils.

Dean Cain stars as Coach Pete Davenport, a former All-Star who comes back to coach the team.

Cain says the show portrays some things that really happen in the world of professional sports.

"Obviously we over-dramatize some of things in the show, but a lot of the things that we do, you'd say, 'Oh! That's over-dramatized! And the reality is some of it's under dramatized to what really happens," he tells ABC News Radio. "There's just some crazy stuff [that happens] with that kind of money, that kind of wealth and that kind of fame."

"It's professional basketball where there is a lot of money, a lot of scandal, a lot of gorgeous young people and all the stuff that surrounds that," Cain adds.

Taylour Paige plays Ahsha, a naive young dancer who auditions and joins the team against her mother Sloane's wishes. Paige, who danced with the Los Angeles Laker Girls for three months, says Hit the Floor is a much more salacious version of life than when she danced professionally.

"It's a fictional show and it's obviously a lot more dramatic onscreen than off," the 23-year-old tells ABC News Radio. "A lot of the things that happen in the show, I don't think would be tolerated."

Kimberly Elise plays Paige's mother, a former professional dancer who could write the book on what not to do in that world. The Diary of a Mad Black Woman actress says she's happy to finally show a lighter side of herself onscreen.

"I've done a lot of you know super heavy things," Elise, 46, explains. "I wanted to do something that was different, sort of go back to my roots of doing some funny things, some sexy things and some dramatic things."

Cain says viewers can expect billionaire Mark Cuban, who owns the Dallas Mavericks and stars on ABC's Shark Tank, to make an appearance on the Hit the Floor, along with rapper Akon, model Eva Marcille and Grammy award-nominated singer Kevin McCall.

The season premiere of Hit the Floor airs Monday, May 27 at 9 p.m. Eastern time on VH1.

Lego Builds Life-Size “Star Wars” Spaceship


Lego/Facebook(NEW YORK) -- At nearly 46 thousand pounds, LEGO has landed a record breaking tribute to Star Wars in the middle of New York City.

More than 30 builders from the toy company spent nearly four months building a life-sized version of the X-Wing fighter piloted by Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy. With the exact specs of what the fighter would be in real life, the model is 43 feet long, 11 feet high, and boasts a wingspan of 46 feet, and features glowing engines and thruster sounds from the films.

While LEGO's normal-sized X-Wing toy is 560 pieces, it took more than 5.3 million bricks attached to a steel superstructure to create this super-sized version, which was built in the Lego Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic. The ship was transported to the Big Apple, where it was reassembled and officially unveiled Thursday, complete with Star Wars costumers adding to the ambiance.

The model will stay in Times Square for a few days, before it’s packed up again and transported to LEGO Land in California.

New Episodes of “Arrested Development” Coming to Netflix This Sunday


Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The New Yorker(NEW YORK) -- At long last, Arrested Development is back. Seven years after the cult comedy was cancelled by Fox, Netflix will launch a fourth season this Sunday.

The 15 new episodes, which will be made available all at once, will catch up with the dysfunctional Bluth  family. All of the original cast members will reprise their roles, including Michael Cera, who plays George-Michael Bluth, the reserved son of Jason Bateman's Michael Bluth who has a crush on his cousin.

The show will pick up in 2013 -- not in 2006, when it was cancelled.

“They're basically living in today, now,” Cera explains. “And we sort of go back and catch up from where they left off. You kind of run through the past six years with all of them, bring everyone up to speed, and then the story kind of begins, goes from there.”

Though the 24-year-old Cera now has a successful movie career, having starred in Juno, Superbad, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and other comedies, he's been open to an Arrested Development reunion since the show was taken off the air.

Cera tells ABC News Radio, "It was easy to say yes for six years and just keep wondering when it was gonna actually come true. You say yes, and then a year goes by and you figure, oh, that wasn't real, and people keep asking about it, and then I didn't believe it was going to happen until we actually were shooting."

Cera likes the fact that Arrested Development fans can watch the new season in only a couple of sittings. He says, "I watch things that way....There's such a blizzard of things to watch now, everyone's kind of just picking and choosing what they see, and the viewing experience has become kind of more individual, I think."

Amanda Bynes Arrested on Marijuana Charge in New York City


Jason Merritt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Former child star Amanda Bynes was arrested on Thursday evening in New York City, police confirmed to ABC News.

Bynes, 27, was charged with tampering with physical evidence, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of marijuana, NYPD spokesman Det. Brian Sessa told ABC News.

“There was a 911 call at her apartment building that someone was smoking marijuana in the lobby,” Sessa said, adding that once police arrived, a building official took them upstairs to her apartment and Bynes let them inside.

“There was a heavy smell of marijuana,” Sessa said. “[Then] she took the bong and threw it out the window.”

Bynes is still in police custody, according to Sessa.

Bynes, who has previously been charged with DUI, has displayed erratic behavior recently, tweeting provocative photos of herself and dramatically changing her look. However, just last fall, the actress told People magazine that she was “doing amazing,” and planning to launch a fashion line.

Messages for Bynes’ attorney have not been returned.

Movie Review: "The Hangover Part III"


Warner Bros.(NEW YORK) -- With The Hangover Part III, director and co-writer Todd Phillips breaks with the format of the previous two films, in that the particular mess in which the Wolfpack finds itself isn't the result of a bachelor party gone wrong.
 
Instead, after a hilarious intervention that probably would’ve been even funnier had parts of it not been included in the trailer, Bradley Cooper’s Phil, Ed Helms’s Stu and Justin Bartha’s Doug have decided to drive Alan, again played by Zach Galifianakis, to a mental health facility in Arizona. The intervention is needed after Alan, who's gone off his meds, has a series of somewhat hilarious missteps over the previous six months.  One of those major missteps is a particularly twisted visual (a Phillips specialty) that's one of the movie’s darkest and funniest moments. But for Alan, the final nail in the coffin, if you will, is when his father, Sid (Jeffrey Tambor) dies.
 
Even so, it’s not the intervention that sets the wheels in motion here. It's actually something that transpired in the first Hangover movie.  That particular thing is why bad guy Marshall, played by John Goodman, has been following the Wolfpack and decides to run them off the road on their way to Arizona and take Doug hostage.  It all comes back to Ken Jeong’s Chow, who stole a lot of gold from Marshall, who in turn threatens to kill Doug unless the Wolfpack delivers Chow.
 
Chow is problematic this time around. In the first movie, he’s a brilliant character -- he shows up out of nowhere and when he’s on screen, he owns the moment. Too much Chow, however, dilutes his effectiveness. That's not a knock on the brilliant Ken Jeong who, quite literally, puts it all out there in the name of comedy.  Sometimes it works and works well but as was also the case with The Hangover Part II, there’s too much of him in this movie.  Not to say he doesn’t have his moments, but less Chow actually means more laughs when he shows up.
 
The Hangover Part III is supposed to be the final movie in the Hangover franchise, so let’s give Todd Phillips credit for trying to accomplish the impossible. He made one of the most successful film comedies of all time and then tried to follow it up not once, but twice. Unfortunately, that's a losing battle. You buy your ticket, go in with an open mind and hope for the best, but the best certainly didn’t happen in the second movie and it doesn’t happen here. The good news is, The Hangover Part III is better than II and contains what actually might be the funniest moment of all three films -- but you’re going to have to wait until the movie is over, literally, to find out what that is.
 
Three out of five stars.

Vice President Joe Biden Makes "Jeopardy!" Cameo


Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Vice President Joe Biden made a cameo appearance on Thursday night’s episode of Jeopardy! by providing video clues to a category about the vice presidency.

“Since 1974, the official residence of the vice president has been on the grounds of this astronomical agency of the United States,” Biden said.

One of the contestants correctly answered, "What is the Naval Observatory?”

Continuing with a clue for the “Daily Double," Biden said, “The vice president is a member of the board of regents of this, ‘America’s attic.'"

The question: "What is the Smithsonian?"

Biden also recited clues about former vice presidents John Adams, John Tyler and John C. Calhoun.

This wasn’t the vice president’s first appearance on Jeopardy! Last year, Biden provided the clues for a category called “Cars in America,” which included a plug for the auto bailout -- an issue he often touched on during the campaign -- and mentioned one of his favorite cars, a Corvette.

Jason Sudeikis Still Unsure If He's Leaving "SNL"


ABC/Donna Svennevik(NEW YORK) -- After Bill Hader announced he wouldn't be returning to Saturday Night Live next season, all eyes turned to longtime cast member Jason Sudeikis. On Thursday's Good Morning America, the actor didn't do much to dispel rumors that he also doesn't plan to return.

"You know, you never leave SNL. It's like the mob. It never leaves you. You never leave it. And we've got a great godfather in Lorne Michaels," the 37-year-old actor said. "And whether I'll be working there or not -- I don't know.   Goodbyes are always tough," Sudeikis added after moments of stuttering.

Seth Meyers will also leave the late night sketch comedy show next year to become the new host of Late Night when Jimmy Fallon moves to The Tonight Show.

Regardless of whether Sudeikis leaves SNL, he has his upcoming nuptials to look forward to. He's set to walk down the aisle with actress Olivia Wilde, who he met on the 2011 finale of Saturday Night Live.

"We're planning to make the plans," he joked of his wedding.

Sudeikis was on GMA to discuss a very different role than what we're used to seeing him portray on SNL: his role as Bomba, a quirky professor who lives in a rundown house in the forest, in the animated movie Epic.

The film, which also stars Aziz Ansari, Amanda Seyfried, Beyonce and Steven Tyler, hits theaters Friday.

JoAnna Garcia and Nick Swisher Reveal Daughter’s Name


Gregg DeGuire/WireImage(CLEVELAND) -- On Tuesday, JoAnna Garcia and Nick Swisher welcomed their daughter into the world, and now, they’re revealing her name: Emerson Jay Swisher.

“We are overjoyed, blessed and so full of love that our daughter Emme has finally arrived,” the Reba actress and her husband, a first baseman for the Cleveland Indians, told ABC News in a statement. “She is healthy, beautiful and vibrant. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

Swisher, 32, and Garcia, 33, were married in 2010, and moved to Cleveland, where Emerson was born, in December.

“My wife says, ‘You’re going to spoil that little girl so much,’” Swisher told Yahoo! last week. “I’ve got a beautiful wife — she’s my best friend. I’ve got a great job and a beautiful home, and now it’s time to be a dad.”

Jennifer Aniston Strips Down for "Millers"


Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Living Proof(NEW YORK) -- For years, Jennifer Aniston has been known for her fit physique and, now, she’s showing it off in a big way.

In her new movie, We’re the Millers, Aniston, 44, plays an exotic dancer alongside Jason Sudeikis, who stars as a drug dealer. In the trailer, the former Friends star shows off her moves, and strips down to her skivvies.

In an interview with InStyle UK last year, Aniston said that she stays in such great shape by working out five or six days each week, and avoiding junk food. But in spite of her killer body and great looks, the actress realizes that she’s getting older.

“You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are twenty-something, or the new crop of actresses and think, ‘Aren’t we kind of the same age?’ You lose perspective. Or being offered the part of a woman with a 17-year-old child. It’s like, ‘I’m not old enough to have a 17-year-old,’” she said.

In this movie, which will be released the summer, she plays the mother of Emma Roberts, 22, and Will Poulter, 20.

A Mini-"Friends" Reunion on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"


Kevin Winter/NBCUniversal/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- It wasn't quite a Friends reunion, but it will have to do for now.

Ellen DeGeneres brought together former Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry for a taped sketch that aired during her daytime talk show on Wednesday.

Aniston was a guest co-host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show for the day. In the taped segment, she dropped by Perry's home to seek his advice, since he once served as a guest co-host.

Perry admonished Aniston for visiting him so early in the morning. Aniston, referring to the fact that they played neighbors on Friends, shot back, "What are you talking about? We used to walk into each others’ apartments all the time. We’re friends!”

Perry replied that Friends was just a TV show. After Aniston mistakenly called Perry "David" -- as in co-star David Schwimmer -- another Friends alum, Courteney Cox, emerged from the home. She exclaimed, "Lisa?" mistaking Aniston for yet another cast member, Lisa Kudrow.

Eventually we found out Perry has been "sleeping" with Cox, his former on-screen wife. DeGeneres and DeGeneres' wife, Portia de Rossi, then sneaked out of the home.

Despite her participation in the sketch, Aniston wouldn't bite when DeGeneres tried to get her to commit to a full-fledged Friends reunion. Aniston did say, "Doing that little bit with Matty and Court yesterday was...we were very nostalgic and miss working together."

Aniston was also featured in a soap opera spoof that included de Rossi, who was a guest on the show, and Aniston's father, Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston.

“Dancing with the Stars” Set to Get Rid of Two Judges?


Rebecca Sapp/WireImage(NEW YORK) -- American Idol may not be the only reality show facing an overhaul of its judges' panel. Dancing with the Stars may also be in the market for a new judge or two.

The New York Post cites a "show source" who claims judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman are "probably gone," while the third judge, Bruno Tonioli, will likely be retained.

The Post reports that pro dancer Cheryl Burke may not be back either for reasons not made clear. The newspaper further notes that Derek Hough will go on hiatus to work on a new series for the cable network Starz, and Mark Ballas is said to be eying his own reality show.

An E! News source says no decisions have been made regarding who will or will not be involved in the next season of Dancing with the Stars. The source says, "It's true no one is locked in under contract yet, but that's not necessarily unusual at this stage."

The 16th season of Dancing with the Stars ended Tuesday night with the crowning of former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler as the show's new champion. The season finale was seen by 14.9 million viewers.

Golfer Under Fire for Racist Comments About Tiger Woods


David Cannon/Getty Images(LONDON) -- Pro golfer Sergio Garcia is getting skewered over what some are calling blatant racist remarks aimed at Tiger Woods.

When jokingly asked Tuesday night if he would invite woods over for dinner at an upcoming tournament, Garcia said "we will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken."

Woods swiftly responded on Twitter, tweeting "The comment that was made wasn't silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate. I'm confident that there is real regret that the remark was made."

“My answer was totally out of place,” Garcia apologized at a press conference Wednesday. Garcia said he called Woods' agent to speak directly with him, but has not gotten through as of yet. The golfer added he does intend to apologize directly at some point.

There’s no love lost between the two golf titans. They have been battling on and off the green since the late 90s. Most recently the two squared off at the Players Championship when Garcia accused Woods of distracting him on while he was taking a shot.

“Of course he’s complaining about something,” Woods responded.

This isn't the first time Woods has been the victim of a remark considered racist. At the '97 Masters another pro golfer, Fuzzy Zoeller, was asked about Wood’s record run and responded with, “say congratulations, enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.”

Woods forgave Zoeller after he apologized.

Jose Canseco Denies Sex Assault Accusation


Kirby Lee/Getty Images(LAS VEGAS) -- Outspoken former Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco is being investigated by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman.

The LVMPD said in a statement Wednesday, "Jose Conseco has been named as the suspect in this investigation. At this time no charges have been filed and our investigation remains ongoing."

Authorities said Canseco, 48, has agreed to be interviewed about the accusations.

Canseco maintained his innocence in a series of tweets that have since been deleted. In one tweet, Canseco named his accuser, asking her, "Will u take a polygraph cause I will."

Canseco, a prolific home run hitter who played much of his 17-year career with the Oakland A's, has freely admitted taking steroids to enhance his performance while alleging that many other stars during his playing days did the same.
