Liberty University, the private Christian university founded by pastor Jerry Falwell Sr., will pay the Department of Education a whopping $14 million fine after a years-long investigation found it violated the Clery Act, which regulates campus safety and sexual misconduct.
The 108-page final report issued Tuesday details 11 ways the university violated the Clery Act, from failing to maintain crime logs and records, to not issuing proper warnings or complying with sexual violence preventative measures. In particular, the way the evangelical school responded to cases of sexual assault was found to be especially lacking,...

It’s pathetic that gay American moviegoers (at least this one) are still starved for representation onscreen in the mainstream. But luckily, indies are shouldering that burden, pulling gay characters often relegated to the margins or side-plots into the center of the action. Matt Fifer and co-director Kieran Mulcare’s feature debut “Cicada” is a lush, erotic, and touching New York-set drama that Fifer co-directed, wrote, produced, edited, and starred in, and it’s a standout example of a gay story done right. . But it also pinpoints the very specific plight of being a gay millennial navigating romance amid a Grindr-dominated paradigm.
Ben (Fifer) is a Brooklyn dweller patching together a life in the gig economy, holding a vaguely sketched desk job when he’s not painting houses or doing home repairs for pushy older queens who like to leer at his tight clothes (or lack thereof). His personal life is otherwise empty,...

During Deadline’s Awardsline Screening Series, director Paige Goldberg Tolmach said that the road to making her Starz documentary What Haunts Us started with a news piece about Jerry Sandusky, the responsibility to protect her son from “monsters” and the need to expose her high school’s sordid history of sexual abuse.
Nominated for an Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking, What Haunts Us has Tolmach returning to her hometown to investigating her alma mater, Porter-Gaud School in Charleston, Sc after a string of suicides could be possibly linked to sexual abuse that went unchecked at the school for a decade. From 1972-1982, a teacher by the name of Eddie Fischer worked at Porter-Gaud and developed close relationships with male students. He became a popular and beloved figure at the school, but while there, he took advantage of his position to secretly molest 20 male students.

Comedian Michelle Wolf took on critics of the jabs she took at press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during the White House Correspondence Dinner, saying in the debut episode of her Netflix talk show, “The Break,” that the joke was not “looks-based.”
In April, Wolf’s Whcd speech came under fire for its frequently caustic tone. At one point, Wolf likened Sanders to Aunt Lydia, a loathsome character on Hulu’s dystopian drama “The Handmaid’s Tale.” She also joked that Sanders’ “perfect” smokey eye makeup was made from ashes of burnt lies.
Many on both side of the aisle called the cracks “personal,” “cruel” and “deplorable.” But Wolf came to her own defense in her new show, which debuted Sunday.

“She was unfortunately blindsided by this situation and was naive and ignorant about the whole situation. Think how confusing and how complicated and difficult for her,” reveals actress Kathy Baker about her role in the recent HBO TV movie “Paterno.” In our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above), she discusses the real-life character of Sue Paterno, who was the wife of disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, played by Al Pacino.
The film is directed by Oscar winner Barry Levinson (“Rain Man”) and depicts the fallout in 2011 of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, splitting its time with scenes featuring Oscar champ Pacino (“Scent of a Woman”) and others starring Riley Keough as Sara Ganim, the tough young reporter who would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for breaking the story.

In HBO’s “Paterno,” director Barry Levinson tells the story of the Penn State pedophile scandal — in which assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with a pattern of child molestation that stretched over 15 years — and its effect on Joe Paterno, the winningest head football coach in Ncaa history. It was the job of makeup artist John Caglione Jr. and hairstylist Trish Almeida, first-time collaborators, to transform iconic actor Al Pacino into the bespectacled mentor whose legacy was called into question by events that rocked the region and shocked the nation.
Caglione has been working with Pacino since the 1990 film “Dick Tracy,” for which he won the Oscar for makeup. For “Paterno,” he studied the coach’s look and included a process that made the actor feel comfortable. “With Al, he likes to try on different noses. I don’t know if it’s part of his process in finding the character,...

Al Pacino is getting some big praise for his portrayal of former coach Joe Paterno. The beleaguered former coach of Penn State went through wringer back in the day when it was discovered that his defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was involved in a child abuse scandal that had been taking place on campus. Paterno did everything he could to make people understand that he had nothing to do with it and had no idea of what was going on, but to this day many people would choose not to believe it. In some ways it’s hard to imagine just how

This year Al Pacino may pick up his third career Emmy Award as Best Movie/Mini Actor for the HBO telefilm “Paterno.” He plays the title role of disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, whose successful 45-year career ended after his assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was revealed to have been a child molester. Pacino previously won the same prize for “Angels in America” in 2004 and “You Don’t Know Jack” in 2010, and he was nominated once more for “Phil Spector” in 2013. But of course, most of Pacino’s career has been in film and not television. In honor of his latest small-screen achievement, let’s take a look back at some of his best big-screen performances. Tour through our photo gallery above of Pacino’s 25 greatest films above, ranked from worst to best.

A cinematic tragedy in three sentences:
Al Pacino hasn’t been nominated for an Oscar since 1993. Al Pacino hasn’t appeared in a “fresh” feature film that’s grossed more than $5 million in over 10 years. (“Ocean’s Thirteen”) Al Pacino hasn’t starred in a “fresh” feature film that’s grossed more than $5 million in over 15 years. (“Insomnia”)
But don’t worry. This tragedy has a happy twist: In that same time, the iconic star of stage and screen has been delivering impeccable performances filled with nuance and depth to the masses; performances, it could be argued, that are far more focused, affecting, and intricate than the bombastic turn in “Scent of Woman” that won him an Oscar.
Pacino has been absolutely killing it on television.
Yes, television. The medium once thought far inferior to its big screen brother has been embraced by one of its favored sons for decades.

Watching HBO Films’ latest snatched-from-the-headlines project, “Paterno,” one can’t help but wonder how different it might have been had Brian De Palma directed it.
He’s had an advantageous working relationship with star Al Pacino on both “Scarface” and “Carlito’s Way.” In his hands, the film could have been a “King Lear”-level tragedy about a sports legend whose singular focus led to his downfall.
Instead what viewers get is director Barry Levinson’s well-intended but paroxysmal journey into legendary college football coach Joe Paterno’s fall from grace, fired by Penn State for his role in the Jerry Sandusky abuse scandal.
Unsure if he wants to focus more on Paterno or newspaper journalist Sara Ganim — the reporter who broke the Sandusky story — Levinson constantly switches his gaze from one to the other. Ganim’s role as a consultant on the film may have mucked up the process even more.

The Oscar winner plays Penn State football coach Joe Paterno in Barry Levinson’s intriguing but cluttered dramatization of his fall from grace
Few American sports heroes have fallen from grace as dramatically or as quickly as Joe Paterno did. On the last Saturday in October 2011, JoePa, as he was affectionately known to everyone on the Penn State University campus in Happy Valley, secured his 409th victory as the coach of the Nittany Lions, making him the winningest coach in college football history. Six days later, a grand jury indicted his former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on 40 counts of child sex abuse, a pattern of predatory behavior that spanned at least two decades and included the rape and harassment of boys as young as eight years old.

Al Pacino and Barry Levinson have become a bit of a dream team for HBO, partnering on past films for the pay cable network including “Phil Spector” and the Jack Kevorkian story “You Don’t Know Jack.”
Now, they’re behind this Saturday’s “Paterno,” with Pacino once again playing a controversial, and much maligned, real-life figure. Pacino and Levinson said they frequently end up at HBO because, in all honestly, the movie studios aren’t making the kind of character films that are their specialty.
“We’re able to do certain kinds of films that you might not be able to do otherwise,” Levinson said. “The theatrical world is much more adventure action type of things, and these are much more personal, more intimate stories.”

In the final act of “Paterno,” HBO’s crackling examination of the Penn State football coach’s legacy-defining final days, there’s a pivotal scene that draws you in only to smack you in the face for your misplaced compassion. Delivered a letter with a phone number inside, Joe Paterno (Al Pacino) shuffles down the hallway toward his bedroom and dials his portable landline. He lifts the receiver to his ear, says his name, listens briefly and then hangs up. “They fired me,” he says to his wife, Sue (Kathy Baker).
Joe, wearing his blue pajama bottoms, keeps walking, but Sue stops him in the bedroom and takes the phone. His hand dangles, unmoved from when it was still holding the receiver, as she redials the number and says, “After 61 years, he deserved better.” Paterno in this moment is a pathetic figure so far removed from the legend he built...

Few public figures have fallen as far and as fast as Joe Paterno did in 2011.
A college-football titan, he led Penn State’s team for 45 years, transforming a nascent athletic program into a gigantic money engine, an obscure regional school into a national brand, and central Pennsylvania’s Happy Valley from an economic backwater into a college sports capital. He also wielded rare intellectual authority: A graduate of Brown University, he once gave a lecture on the relationship between the “Aeneid” and football.
Two weeks after he earned his 409th victory, becoming the winningest Division I coach in college-football history, he was fired amid a child sex abuse scandal. He died two months later of lung cancer.
That Paterno’s final days resemble something from the classics isn’t lost on Al Pacino, who plays the coach in the new HBO biopic “Paterno,” and Barry Levinson, the film’s director.

After teasing the much-anticipated new film “Paterno” with first-look photos and a short teaser-trailer, HBO has released the first full trailer for Barry Levinson’s movie about the disgraced Penn State football coach, Joe Paterno, along with more photos and a release date.
Covering the two-week period between the story of Jerry Sandusky’s sex abuse scandal breaking and Paterno’s termination from coaching, “Paterno” studies not only what the legendary football coach knew about his defensive coordinator’s misconduct, but how he responded.
In the trailer below, Paterno is seen meeting with advisers, attorneys, and his wife, the latter of which puts forth a personal question that sends him spinning. “He went in the pool with the kids,” she says. “Jerry did? Our kids?” he says. “Yeah.” “What are you saying?” he asks. “I’m saying you couldn’t have known, otherwise you wouldn’t have let them go in the pool,...

Al Pacino looks weathered and downtrodden as disgraced college football coach Joe Paterno in the teaser trailer for the upcoming HBO film, Paterno. He stares off morosely as between scenes of players on the gridiron, child molester Jerry Sandusky being arrested and guiding a boy into an elevator, men crying and journalists attempting to question Paterno – all as voices chant "Joe Pat-ern-o" and clap along excitedly. When one of his sons asks, "Dad, did you know about Jerry?" the reason why Pacino is staring off comes into focus.

“The question isn’t just what he knew, it’s what he did about it,” Pacino said last week at the Television Critics Association. “I think he knew there were complaints. He knew there were rumors. […] I don’t think he was very fond of Sandusky, for whatever reasons — I think there were other reasons.”
“He did act upon it,” Pacino added. “He did say he thought someone should look into this. [But] a guy like Paterno — he’s like an emperor, he’s like a king.

Al Pacino isn’t exactly unfamiliar with playing historical figures, so far be it from us or anyone to tell him how to prepare for a role. If the Oscar-winning actor — who was Emmy-nominated for playing Phil Spector and won the award for portraying Roy Cohn — doesn’t need to go to the Penn St. University campus to prepare for his role as disgraced college football coach Joe Paterno, he doesn’t have to.
“I didn’t go,” Pacino said, speaking via satellite during HBO’s TCA presentation Thursday afternoon. “I did see the documentary ‘Happy Valley.’ […] These things really happened, and as an actor, it makes you feel credible. […] You have the real person to digest and sort of channel.”

Even the anchor of the NBC Nightly News isn't immune to having his show cancelled, as Brian Williams found out yesterday. Rock Center with Brian Williams has been cancelled after two low-rated seasons. The program is expected to stay on the schedule through next month.
Williams issued a statement regarding the cancellation and wrote, "I'm so proud of the work we did. Our people got shot at for this broadcast. They pulled countless all-nighters. They investigated, cajoled, hustled and cared deeply. They won awards, won the respect of their colleagues and produced great television journalism."
One of the awards that he mentions went to Bob Costas for his memorable telephone interview with Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was later convicted of child molestation.

The wave of cancellations at NBC in the past couple of days has extended to the news division.
Newsmagazine "Rock Center with Brian Williams" is going off the air after two seasons. Its final episode is set to air June 21.
The show made some headlines early in its run, notably for a November 2011 interview with disgraced Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky. It never gained a strong foothold in the ratings, however, leading to its cancellation
So far this season, "Rock Center" is averaging about 4.1 million viewers per week and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. By comparison the Friday and Sunday editions of NBC's other newsmag, "Dateline," each draw about 6 million people and 18-49 ratings of 1.5 (Friday) and 1.3 (Sunday).
Williams remains the anchor of "NBC Nightly News," which is still the most-watched of the network evening news broadcasts. It draws 8.75 million viewers per night, more than twice what "Rock Center" does.

NBC canceled its primetime newsmagazine "Rock Center with Brian Williams" on Friday. The New York Times was first to report that the program had been canceled and would broadcast its final show on June 21, less than two years after its November 2011 debut.
"Rock Center," which was a project launched under former NBC News president Steve Capus, struggled to find a steady audience, due in part to multiple scheduling changes. When it first premiered, the show aired on Monday nights. It was quickly moved to Wednesday nights, then to Thursday nights, and most recently to Friday at 10:00 p.m., where it has been since November 2012.
The hourlong program boasted a correspondent roster that featured some of news business' biggest stars, including Ted Koppel, Meredith Vieira, Natalie Morales, Kate Snow and Harry Smith. Chelsea Clinton also served as a "Rock Center" correspondent, and most recently interviewed the Geico Gecko.

Jerry Sandusky’s (perplexing) media tour may continue in the new year. Having already given interviews to NBC and the New York Times, Sandusky and his wife Dottie are reportedly open to a sit-down with the likes of Oprah Winfrey or Barbara Walters.
Sandusky’s attorney Joe Amendola told PennLive.com that the couple would also consider appearances on CBS’ 60 Minutes or NBC’s Rock Center — which already ran a phone-in interview between Bob Costas and the ex-Penn State football coach who’s been charged with sexually abusing boys. The appearance gave Rock Center a much-needed boost in the ratings on Nov.
