You might be intimidated by Eminem while listening to his rap lyrics, but the popular artist has a softer side, too. Eminem recently visited a terminally ill 17-year-old fan, granting him his last wish of meeting the real Slim Shady. Megafan Gage Garmo spent his high school career fighting a rare bone cancer known as osteosarcoma and was recently given just one week to live by his doctors. Friends, family, and Gage's community began to share his story with the world, including Gage's idol, Eminem. They took to social media, sharing images of Gage with the hashtags #GarmoStrong and #GetGageToMeetEminem to help fulfill the high school senior's final wish. Sadly, Gage passed away on Monday night after meeting with Eminem on Sunday. Gage would have celebrated his 18th birthday this Friday. Gage doesn't need to meet Eminem, @Eminem needs to meet Gage. He is an inspiration to all. #GetGageGarmotoMeetEminem — Emma Smith...

It.s been another successful year for the country.s premier drama schools, at least measured by the number of actor graduates that have signed with Australian talent agents.
All 22 graduates of Nida.s acting class have secured representation. The Vca had 24 graduate actors, of whom all but one has signed with agents. That actor is still negotiating while heading home to the Us.
The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (Waapa) graduated 17 actors. Sixteen have found agents and the other had a final interview on Thursday and was hopeful of doing a deal soon afterwards.
"At the Nida Showcase in early November, it was fantastic to introduce the Nida graduating class of actors to the best agents in town,. Di Drew, the school.s Head of Film and Television, tells If.
.Within three weeks, every graduate from the 2013 acting class had an agent. This year's graduates are very prepared and industry ready,...

This last episode is mixed for me. Parts are poignant and well-crafted, but much of it is heavy-handed and geared toward manipulating the story for emotion. So it's pretty much just like the season as a whole.
Bill walks out of a detention center with Barb where he's been held for two days after his arrest for two charges of statutory rape. Bill meets Margie and Nicki and tells reporters he will fight the charges and see out his term in the senate. He is ambitious. The trial is in four weeks. We get some exposition that Alby is in the clink and Adalene's out on bail. She's protesting Bill's bail and saying that Alby should get bail as well, saying it's religious persecution. Yeah, he probably would have if he hadn't, you know, Killed some one.
Barb talks to her new church pastor (Sister? Bishop? I don't know.) about getting baptized in the church.

There was a lot to love in the final episode of HBO's "Big Love" -- a show that many fans and most critics feel went off the rails a while ago.
We could rehash the worthwhile minutia -- Bill (Bill Paxton) becoming a modern day folk hero to polygamists, Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) abandoning her baptism, Lois' (Grace Zabriskie) heartbreaking assisted suicide, Sarah's (Amanda Seyfried) return -- but it's ultimately inconsequential in light of the ending.
Bill's death, however grim, was an appropriate end-game for "Big Love." It's the only way his family could survive. His passing offers them sanctuary from the malicious outside forces -- backwoods mafiosos, manipulating politicians, homicidal brothers-in-law -- he constantly lured towards them, and allows the sister wives, all of whom he was holding back in one way or another, to reach their full potential.
Barb spent the bulk of the series' final season receiving only...

Warning: Head to the nearest exit if you have yet to watch Sunday’s wholly satisfying Big Love finale. Everyone else, head onward and downward for an exclusive post mortem with series creators Mark Olsen and Will Scheffer, during which the duo tackle everything from that shocking climactic twist (crikey!), the Heather/Ben scene that ended up on the cutting room floor, and who did and didn’t commit suicide in the episode.
Tvline | Why’d you kill Bill?
Olsen: The decision came from a desire to look at all of of our characters and try and find the most positive spin on their journey.
