Hollywood is powering up for a clash of the titans this year, with two films about legendary demigod Hercules -- one starring teen heartthrob Kellan Lutz, and a more mature version later in the year.

The superhero standoff -- Tinseltown seems prone to doing movies in pairs, after two adaptations of the Snow White tale last year -- comes 16 years after the last Hercules movie, by Disney in 1997.

Some movies aren’t technically good, but they’re enjoyable. “Ride Along” is that kind of film. It’s predictable, clichéd, and pretty derivative, but thanks to its two amazing leads, it’s a highly entertaining buddy-cop flick that will be sure to elicit plenty of laughter. And if you’re a Kevin Hart fan, you’re going to absolutely love this.

Charles De Gaulle was faithful to France's "Aunt Yvonne", while other French leaders were linked to multiple trysts, and now unassuming President Francois Hollande allegedly has a new girlfriend.

After De Gaulle's term as president, during which the mere mention of a courtesan was inconceivable, Georges Pompidou was blindsided in 1968 by rumors stemming from the "Markovic affair" -- this time involving the leader's spouse.

Milan prepared to host men's fashion week starting on Saturday after new data showed that Italian menswear exports rose 3.7 percent amid a devastating recession that has plunged sales on the domestic market.

Armani, Gucci, Prada are among the dozens of designer labels, including Britain's Vivienne Westwood, which will take to the catwalks with their pret-a-porter collections for the autumn and winter of 2014-2015.

Who doesn’t love Mary Poppins? The film is the definition of a classic, and if it doesn’t bring a smile on your face, then you’re just not human. “Saving Mr. Banks” aims to tell the story of how Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) was able to acquire the movie rights to Mary Poppins, and while the events have been highly dramatized, the result is an extremely sweet and enjoyable film that is guaranteed to please audiences and bring back some very fond memories. Oh, and the acting is great, to boot.

On the surface, the story chronicles the making of Mary Poppins, as well as the painstaking process it took to bring the book to life while still respecting author P.L. Travers’ (Emma Thompson) original vision. The film also explores what inspired Travers to create Mary Poppins, and gives us a look into her childhood, and the many events that shaped the very woman she became. We get to see the character of Mary Poppins through a wholly different lens, and we understand why she meant so much to Travers, and why she’s remained a cultural icon for all these years.

Hollywood's finest hit the red carpet Sunday for the Golden Globes, launching Tinseltown's most fiercely-contested awards season in years with a wide open field of hotly-tipped movies.

Historical drama "12 Years a Slave" and crime caper "American Hustle" are among the top contenders at the Globes, the first big show of a season which climaxes with the Oscars on March 2.

U.S. premium cable TV provider HBO announced Thursday that the next season of award-winning prohibition-era show "Boardwalk Empire" will be its last.

"The final call for drinks on the Boardwalk comes this fall," program makers announced on the Twitter feed of the show, starring Steve Buscemi as a politician-gangster in charge of Atlantic City.

Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears are too racy for daytime French TV.

France's broadcast watchdog says TV channels should only show Cyrus' video for "Wrecking Ball" and Spears' video for "Work B(asterisk)(asterisk)tch" after 10pm, when French broadcasters show a range of programming more suited to adults.

Famed film director Zhang Yimou must pay more than $1.2 million in fines for having three children in violation of China's strict family planning rules, officials said Thursday.
