One memorable performance from late actor and sex symbol Raquel Welch came when she played an aggressively amplified version of herself on Seinfeld in 1997. It allowed her to hilariously address longstanding rumors of being challenging to work with.
When asked about the guest appearance, Welch said it was “so much fun” to portray herself as a “horrible ball breaker,” adding she thought the part was written as more diva than villain. She also explained where her reputation for being “tempestuous” in real life might have originated and how it presented when she was a guest on Mork & Mindy.

Can you believe Lilo & Stitch is 15 years old? Walt Disney Feature Animation's instant classic surfed into theaters on June 21, 2002 and went on to earn $273.1 million at the global box office.

It's the small decisions along the way that shape major successes - and Harry Potter had lots of potential turning points...
Spanning a series of books, films, merchandising prospects, an amusement park and - soon - a spin-off film and West End show, Harry Potter is one of the most iconic franchises in the history of fandom.
But things could have been very, very different…
Spoilers lie ahead for the Harry Potter series.
1. What if Harry Potter had never been published?
It’s been well-documented that J K Rowling struggled to get her first book published.
Almost a dozen houses, including Penguin, TransWorld and Harper Collins, rejected Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone outright.
When a first chapter arrived at Bloomsbury Publishing, it was destined to remain in the slush pile until its curious black binding caught the eye of a lowly assistant. On a whim,...

(P.S. – I am a Newcastle United fan, so as always my match reports are bias and for the like minded);
Having fielded a strong, almost full strength 11 against League One side Scunthorpe last time out, the early word is Toon boss Alan Pardew may rest the majority of his players for tonight’s game against tricky Championship outfit Nottingham Forest in the third round of the League cup. Why not an 11 full of first team players again? Well perhaps because we are a few further weeks into the season and more players are showing sides of tiredness or maybe it’s simply because tonight’s game is not in front of thousands watching at home on their googlebox and the embarrassment of going out against lower opposition will be much less severe given that it isn’t being screened anywhere!
Word in the North East is that Pardew will...
