Here's the Scoop...

Awesome Trailer Alert!

Blade Runner 2049 released a first full-length trailer starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford on Monday.

The preview sees Los Angeles Police Department Officer K (Gosling) seek out long-missing blade runner Rick Deckard (Ford) after discovering a long-buried secret.

Blade Runner 2049 is a sequel to the 1982 movie Blade Runner, which followed Deckard as he hunted replicants, genetically engineered androids. The new film co-stars Ana de Armas and Robin Wright.

"It was one of the first films I'd seen that it wasn't clear how I was supposed to feel," Gosling said of the original movie in a Facebook Live Q&A. "It made me question what it meant to be a human being and my ability to recognize the hero from the villain."

"It's very interesting visiting a character after some time," Ford added. "It was a very gratifying experience."

Blade Runner 2049 is directed by Arrival helmer Denis Villeneuve, with Blade Runner director Ridley Scott as executive producer. The film opens Oct. 6.

This movie looks amazing! I can't wait! It's almost October, right?

Be Well,
Steve

Ryan Murphy teases 'American Horror Story' Season 7 with creepy concept art
American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy teased Season 7 of the anthology series recently by sharing on Instagram creepy artwork depicting a smiling elephant.

"American Horror Story Season 7 tease," the producer captioned the image which alludes to how elephants are used to represent the Republican Party as Season 7 takes place during the 2016 presidential election.

Announced in February, Season 7 is set to star Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd and Billy Eichner.

"I think people literally think Sarah Paulson is playing Hillary Clinton," Murphy said while speaking with E! News about the new season.

"And I wanted to clarify that that is not true. Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. It's our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. And you know, that show is always so fun when it's about the zeitgeist and what we're doing now," he continued.

The 51-year-old had previously stated that Clinton and her opponent Donald Trump would not specifically be featured on the show as characters.

"We don't have actors playing them. You'll see them on television. The first 10 minutes of the season, this season, takes place in a very eerie macabre way on election night and there's something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on election night as they're watching it all go down," Murphy added.

American Horror Story Season 7 is set to premiere this fall on FX.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend delighted fans by recreating the iconic Spider-Man kiss.

The 31-year-old model smooched Legend on Sunday's episode of Lip Sync Battle while dressed as Spider-Man and suspended upside down from the ceiling.

"Yes, I do my own stunts," she captioned a clip of the moment for her 5.29 million Twitter followers.

Teigen, who co-hosts Lip Sync Battle with LL Cool J, surprised the audience by descending from the ceiling after Tom Holland's final performance. Holland's competitor, Zendaya, was all smiles as LL Cool J unmasked the model.

"I just wanted to see if it's possible that I live out one of my biggest fantasies," Teigen explained before Legend came onstage.

Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst shared a similar kiss as Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson in the 2002 movie Spider-Man. Holland and Zendaya star in the new reboot Spider-Man: Homecoming, which opens July 7.

Teigen and Legend married in Como, Italy, in 2013, and welcomed their first child, daughter Luna, in April 2016. The model shared an adorable video of Luna responding to seeing Legend's TIME 100 cover in April.

Which stars were inducted into New Jersey Hall of Fame?

Kelly Ripa was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame Sunday during an event that also inducted the likes of Wyclef Jean, Tommy James and Ray Liotta.
