Jamie Spears no longer holds any keys to Britdom. A judge on Wednesday suspended Britney Spears’ dad from his role as conservator of her $60 million estate “effective today.” “I believe that the suspension of [James Spears] is in the best interest of the conservatee, Ms. Britney Spears,” Judge Brenda Penny said. “The current situation is untenable.” The judge said the pleadings in the case convinced her that Jamie’s position at the helm of his daughter’s estate created a “toxic environment” for his daughter. The pivotal decision came after the pop star made searing statements in open court in June…

For a series that was making a name for itself in terms of high-flying adventure, exaggerated gadgets and pithy one-liners, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service represented a huge swing for the James Bond franchise. The gadgets were scaled back and even the evil scheme of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (played this time by Telly Savalas) was pretty simplified. The greatest difference, however, was the fact that for the first time in 007 history, James Bond actually fell in love and got married.

Tom Delonge’s Angels and Airwaves stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform their recent song “Timebomb.” The track, which opens with a tangle of rich synths straight out of the Giorgio Moroder songbook, is an emotive post-punk punch, with Delonge crooning, “I really want to hold you/Your heart is like time bomb/And it’s going to start to kill you.” “’Timebomb’ is a special song to me because it represents the emotional equivalent of an armed device about to blow,” Delonge said in a statement when the song dropped. “I think everyone can relate to the pressure of life bearing down…
Amy Holden Jones’ 1982 film The Slumber Party Massacre was a bit of a rarity in the ’80s slasher boom: it was written by a feminist writer (Rita Mae Brown) and told from a female perspective (Jones’). While they were beholden to certain non-feminist genre tropes (half-naked pillow fights and fully naked breasts, just to name a few) the film was able to subvert the male gaze in multiple ways. Under Roger Corman’s New World Pictures, the film passed the Bechdel Test before the Bechdel Test was even invented. If there ever was a time to give the cult classic an update,…

Matt Damon: She’s the best writer in the world… Ben Affleck: We wanted this to be good. Damon: We hadn’t written in a really long time. I think mostly because the first time, when we wrote Good Will Hunting we really didn’t know what we were doing. And it took a really long time. And I think both of us probably thought we would never have that much time again. We were unemployed… Affleck: Living together, not doing much. So we had a couple of years to make a bunch of mistakes. Damon: No deadline. Affleck: The goal was to…
