As Kevin Costner’s future in Yellowstone continues to be a hot topic, the actor has landed a new series. Kevin Costner will host and executive produce Kevin Costner’s The West (working title) for the History Channel. “I am in love with history. I love the rich, heroic, and harrowing stories of the West. The people and their stories have always held a fascination for me, but there’s an urgency today to put those times and the men and women who we think we know in perspective, in the context of their times, without judgment,” said Costner in a statement. The eight-episode documentary series explores the clichés and myths of the “Wild West” and will be told through characters, historical archives, and expert interviews. Yellowstone is currently on hiatus after wrapping up the first half of season 5 and is set for a summer return for the series. Kevin Costner recently won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series, Drama, for Yellowstone.

Kevin Fiege has done some incredible things the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s chief, but plans for the studio boss to bring his magic to the Star Wars Universe won’t happen anytime soon. A ‘Star Wars’ feature from the producer is no longer in active development, according to ‘Variety’. Last anyone heard of a Fiege-led ‘Star Wars’ film in 2022, was that ‘Dr. Strange’ screenwriter Michael Waldron was working on a script. So, what ‘Star Wars’ feature could possible hit theatres in 2025? One led by ‘Thor: Love & Thunder’ director Taika Waititi or a feature from Oscar- winning documentarian Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante is clean now, but there was a time he was so messed up on drugs that he called Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Ferrel for advice on how to get snakes out of his eyes. In a 2006 oral history of Jane’s Addiction, Frusciante shared a drug-fueled story, saying “I once called Perry at like seven in the morning and said, How do you get snakes out of your eyes? He said, ‘What?’ I said, There are snakes in my eyes, how do I get rid of them? I’d be looking in my bathroom mirror at these little snakes in my eyes. I’d even hear them talk, they’d make weird little noises and stuff. A snake would poke his head out and I’d try to grab it.” Frusciante added “Perry told me I was off balance, something about too much yin and not enough yang. Perry gave me goggles after that. That was my outfit when I would go up on the roof to wage war against the ghosts. I would have my goggles on and my ski mask, and every part of my body covered. No holes… You couldn’t get into me on any level anywhere.”
Eventually Perry intervened, taking Frusciante to a hospital and telling the nurses “Listen, I’m going to be really honest with you, he’s really on a lot of drugs right now, so why don’t you wait on giving him any medication.” Frusciante, thankfully, is now clean and spending snakeless days during his third stint as guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Some of us have been pronouncing the 10th “Fast & Furious” title wrong this entire time. “Fast X” is pronounced “Fast Ten” . . . NOT “Fast Ex”.
And it’s actually meant to be a PUN.
Director Louis Leterrier said in an “Empire“ interview that it’s “Fast Ten” as in, quote, “fast ten your seatbelts.”
“Fast X” hits theaters May 19th. (Uproxx)

How much is your time worth in dollars and cents? Obviously Hollywood actors make a lot more money than the average person, but a new survey finds some stars actually make more in a single second than many people do in an entire year!
While she’s definitely a member of the A-list, it may surprise you to find out that Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock tops the list of actors in Oscar-worthy movies in terms of her worth per second to these films! According to a study, commissioned by Onlinecasinos.co.uk, Bullock is worth nearly $95,000 for every second she’s on the screen in recent Oscar-nominated films.
Among her many credits, Bullock took home the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 2010 for her work in “The Blind Side.” Sir Ian McKellen comes in second, with a box office worth of just over $90,000 for each second the English movie legend graces the screen.
After these two A-list stars, the drop-off is pretty significant, with Kate Winslet (3rd), Whoopi Goldberg (4th), and Dustin Hoffman (5th) rounding out the top five. However, the study estimates their worth at around $75,000 per second when they appear on screen in a nominated film.
At the opposite end of the scale, screen greats Robert De Niro and Tom Cruise rank 48th and 49th respectively, compiling just over $26,000 of box office worth per second, according to the study’s metrics.
When it comes to lots of pay for just a little bit of work, it might stun you to learn that Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins appeared on screen during “The Silence of the Lambs” for just 16 minutes! Despite this, Hopkins was reportedly offered $15 million for the sequel.

In one of the weirder stories in rock history, guitar hero Eddie Van Halen once jammed with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. The tale doesn’t stop there however, and indeed takes a bizarre turn, for, following the session, Van Halen apparently returned to Durst’s house in a tank, gun in hand, to pick up some equipment he left behind.
According to details in the photobook Eruption in the Canyon: 212 Days & Nights With the Genius of Eddie Van Halen by Andrew Bennett, the strange altercation took place following guitarist Wes Borland’s departure from Limp Bizkit in 2001.
In the search for a replacement, the nu metal band held auditions, but were shortly distracted by the prospect of jamming with a guitar legend, the one and only Eddie Van Halen.
Durst reportedly met Van Halen at a party, during which a record-label executive suggested they team up together. As documented by Bennett, the Limp Bizkit vocalist was thrilled by the idea, and said: “That would be hilarious. The greatest guitar player ever plays with the worst band ever”. In response, Van Halen said “F*ck it, let’s jam.”
The pair met up at Durst’s house in Beverly Hills and began jamming, although EVH soon found himself disappointed, and described the experience as like “being a scholar amongst kindergartners”. Apparently, the session soon turned into a drug-orientated escapade, as the band started to smoke weed.
As he wasn’t a fan of the drug, Halen shortly left the jam, and accidentally left his musical equipment, such as his guitars and amps, behind him.
The next day, the guitarist tried to contact Durst to retrieve his belongings, but was ignored, which he found upsetting. After waiting another 24 hours, Halen decided to fetch his gear himself, with added precautions to make sure he wouldn’t leave empty handed.
In his book, Bennett writes: “Eddie once bought an assault vehicle from a military auction. It has a shine gun mount on the back and is not legal. Eddie drove that assault vehicle through L.A., into Beverly Hills, then parked and left it running on the front lawn of the house Limp Bizkit was rehearsing in.
“He got out wearing no shirt, his hair in a Samurai bun on top of his head, his jeans held up with a strand of rope and combat boots held together by duct tape. And he had a gun in his hand.”
Retelling the moment from Van Halen’s perspective, he continues, “’That a**hole answered the door. I put my gun to that stupid f*cking red hat of his, and I said, ‘Where’s my sh*t, motherf*cker?’ That f*cking guy just turned to one of his employees and starts yelling at him to grab my sh*t…’
“Eddie Van Halen stood on the front lawn of a residential home in Beverly Hills in broad daylight, smoking a cigarette while holding a gun on Fred Durst as he went back and forth from the house to the assault vehicle, lugging amps and guitars.”
