Celebrity Is NOT Consent: When Fandom Crosses The Line
During cons, meeting one of your favorite celebrities can be an incredibly exciting experience, especially if you are able to walk right up to them. Your first instinct may to be a gushing adoration of all of their work, or to get nervous and clam up, or maybe even to just fling your arms around them. While the first two are understandable, the latter is actually quite inappropriate, and it's become an increasing problem at conventions.

Double No Seven: Daniel Craig Clarifies His 'Slit My Wrist' Comments About Bond
It looks like Daniel Craig and 007 will get to "Bond" with fandom at least one more time, and the hunky hero is officially on board for Bond 25 after seeming to abandon his post.

However, after a slew of negative comments aimed at the franchise from Craig himself, where do we go from here?

I 'Wonder' Why? Kate Beckinsale Reveals Why She Didn't Play Wonder Woman
These days, Kate Beckinsale may be remembered as the blood-sucking Selene from Sony's Underworld series, but could you ever imagine her suiting up to play the comic book legend that is Wonder Woman?
