Erin Andrews has never wanted to be the story. The longtime sports journalist and Dancing With the Stars co-host has been the subject of public scandal in recent years after a man secretly taped her naked in her hotel room.
But after her traumatic court case ended this past summer, Andrews got even more difficult news. The 38-year-old was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September.

In a new interview with Sports Illustrated’s The Mmqb, Andrews opened up for the first time about keeping her diagnosis a secret for months.
“Throughout my career, all I’ve ever wanted is to just fit in,” Andrews said. “That I had this extra baggage with the scandal, I didn’t want to be any different. I felt that way about being sick too. I don’t want players or coaches to look at me differently...

Our series on big-screen remakes continues with a cult horror film that kickstarted the illustrious career of Steve McQueen. This week, Cinelinx looks at The Blob (1958 vs. 1988). Come inside to see how these two films stack up.
The original version of The Blob was a low-budget monster film made for $110,000. The titular creature was originally supposed to be called The Molten Meteor Monster, which then was changed to The Mass, which turned into The Glob, and Finally The Blob. The film's tongue-in-cheek title song was written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David, which became a hit. The movie was directed by Irvin Yeaworth who specialized in directing motivational educational and religious films, so this was a departure for him. The film was a moderate success, grossing over $4 million, although the critics weren’t overly kind. It has a 67% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite its cheesiness, its reputation has grown over...

The major question for the jury in Erin Andrews's $75 million civil lawsuit is this:
Should the owners and managers of the Nashville Marriott be held liable for not doing more to protect the sportscaster in 2008, when a stalker, Michael David Barrett, gouged a peephole in her door and secretly recorded a nude video that later went viral?
Attorneys for Andrews, 37, and the Marriott's owners make their final arguments Friday, a day after the defense rested, and then the case will go to the jury.

Sportscaster Erin Andrews took the stand in her $75 million civil suit against Marriott Nashville, tearfully telling the jury she felt angry, alone and embarrassed when a stranger secretly filmed her in 2008 and posted the video of her in the nude. "I'm so angry. This could have been stopped," Andrews, 37, said. Andrews, a former Espn sportscaster who has since moved to Fox Sports, is suing the hotel. A man in an adjacent room, Michael David Barrett, shot the video of Andrews through a peep hole. Andrews contends that she would have called authorities had she known that Barrett requested a room next to hers.

Cinemax brought "Strike Back: Origins" to a close Friday (Nov. 29). This is actually the first season of "Strike Back" from the U.K. -- it aired there in 2010 and never aired in the U.S. The U.S. viewers had to jump in with Season 2, subtitled "Project Dawn."
This season has been airing under the name "Origins," acting as a kind of prequel for the U.S. viewers -- and featuring Andrew Lincoln as Hugh Collinson while he simultaneously appears on AMC's "The Walking Dead."
In the season finale, John Porter (Richard Armitage) and Gerald Baxter (Ewen Bremner) escape from the compound and return to Afghanistan. Baxter is killed by a Taliban soldier, Collinson (Lincoln) is confronted by Leyla about how it was his bullet who shot Steve Andrews (who is now dead), in addition to Mike Reilly and Keith Finn. Leyla uses it to force Collinson to save Porter...

There are so many things to be scared of. Apart from the obvious perils, such as large spiders, venomous snakes, and dentists, there are less tangible things to panic about. Fear of growing old. Fear of falling into poverty. Fear of thermonuclear war.
In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo was released. It’s very good at making the watcher feel very uncomfortable, through the camera angles and the great score by Bernard Herrmann. But it’s not just the audience who gets to feel scared; it’s there in the script too. Scottie (played by James Stewart) suffers from vertigo, but he’s also afraid of his past, and of the pain of loss. He’s been hurt so badly before that he’ll...
