Far before the Jonas Brothers returned to the spotlight, they were starring in their own TV show on the Disney Channel. Jonas (also known as Jonas L.A. during its second season) had the brothers portraying fictional versions of themselves as they navigated high school, rock star life, and girls. Though the brothers revealed that their involvement with the show (which aired from 2009 to 2010) wasn’t as positive as it might have appeared to viewers, we thought it was still worth going back and remembering those early days....

While many welcome the feature, some of us just feel more used to Vine. It was first with the short videos, and it did something right. I don’t really know what, but whatever it did, it just works, and it’s fun. Fallon takes that approach, talking about the extra nine seconds you have with Instagram. Vine gives you six, and for some reason, it feels like enough. It’s just fun to make short videos that tell a story sometimes....

As the world reacts to today’s announcement of Jodie Whittaker as the first female star of Doctor Who, we’re getting the faintest of details on how the new owner of the TARDIS will dress - or at least, how she won’t. The newly minted Time Lady is clarifying that her mysterious, cloaked look in the official teaser trailer released by the BBC today is not how she’ll look as the Doctor....

Don’t call him a firefighter; in Playing with Fire, John Cena plays a smokejumper, which is totally different and – according to the character in the film – way cooler. While some of his fans would prefer Cena star in more testosterone-fueled fare (we’re still holding out hope for his take on Duke Nukem!), it’s hard to argue with the final result; Playing with Fire is a jolly exercise in family entertainment and adorably silly humor, anchored by an all-star cast that includes Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo, Judy Greer, and Brianna Hildebrand....

Harley Quinn and the Joker’s new girlfriend Punchline are about to meet for the very first time. DC Comics has released preview images of the two’s first get-together and surprise, surprise, the conversation quickly gets physical as Harley pulls out her trusty mallet and Punchline has a knife at the ready. DC Comics has showcased the Joker’s new girlfriend Punchline quite a bit before and after her sold-out first appearance in Batman #89 and Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3....

One of the most disturbing, but insightful, elements of the new Joker film is the journal Arthur Fleck keeps throughout the film. Doubling as his joke book for his stand-up routine, the journal, when seen on screen, serves as a litmus test for the rising rage and insanity Fleck feels until the movie’s cataclysmic end. Ordered as a therapeutic tool by his state-assigned caseworker, Fleck uses the book in Joker to track his thoughts from day-to-day, and, as he boldly announces to that same woman, “all [he has] are negative thoughts....

The Jio’s feature phone will come equipped with a 2.4-inch display, and Reliance Retail has apparently partnered with both Qualcomm and Spreadtrum for its chipsets. Furthermore, Reliance is expected to launch two handsets both of which will be paired with the 512MB RAM and on the storage front, it will offer 4GB of internal memory along with a slot for microSD card. The imaging arrangements on the feature phone will be bare basics and include a 2-Megapixel sensor on both the sides....

Welcome to the latest edition of Jeremy’s 5, my latest roundup of 5 interesting little things that aren’t big enough for full articles, but are still worth sharing with you. This week, I’m sharing some thoughts on Just Mobile’s latest iPhone and Apple Watch docks, iOS’s mysterious Error 53, experiences integrating Apple products into a small business, and Apple Pay… Just Mobile’s HoverDock for Apple Watch. My guide to the Best Apple Watch Stands and Docks has been updated quite a few times over the past year, as pretty much every major accessory maker has weighed in with an option for the daily-recharged wearable....

Let imagine that you send thousands request to a web server under test in a few seconds. This is what happens! Timers allow JMeter to delay between each request which a thread makes. A timer can solve the server overload problem. Also, in real life visitors do not arrive at a website all at the same time, but at different time intervals. So Timer will help mimic the real-time behavior....

Jon Hamm is an American actor best known for playing Don Draper on television drama Mad Men. He has also starred in Million Dollar Arm, Baby Driver, and provided his voice to the animated film Minions. Now he plays Bob Callahan in the film Tag which opens June 15, 2018. Screen Rant had the opportunity to sit down with Jon, where we discussed his motivation for doing the film, the cast’s camaraderie on set, hanging out with his childhood friends, and how he met Noah Hawley, creator of the Fargo television show....

John Wesley Shipp will appear in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Beginning later this year, the massive crossover event is grabbing all sorts of characters for a story that is going to have big ramifications throughout the Arrowverse. When it comes to superheroes on television, there is no other topic getting discussion as the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths. Yes, there are important things happening in the individual shows as well. Arrow is concluding after eight years, Supergirl’s Kara Danvers is donning a new costume, and The Flash is receiving a new antagonist....

Rotten Tomatoes’ scoring system is completely broken, and the Joker movie reviews are the latest proof of that. Unlike other review aggregation platforms, such as Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer is purely measured on the likes and dislikes of film critics, harkening back to the old days of play reviews according to the site. Any movie that is scored higher than 60% receives a fresh rating and anything over 75% is Certified Fresh....

Joker’s Rotten Tomatoes score drops a bit following negative reviews out of the Toronto International Film Festival. Even though it’s a few weeks away from hitting theaters, Joker is poised to be one of the most polarizing films of 2019. While some have praised the movie as a game-changing masterpiece (bolstered by Joaquin Phoenix’s transformative performance), others have voiced concern about Joker’s potentially problematic approach to its social commentary elements. The debates about the film’s merits should only get more heated when it opens to the general public in October....

But what does it mean for the company? Ive is still in charge of the company’s industrial design and user interface divisions, but he won’t have to worry so much about administrative and management work, which is unarguably best for both him and the company. Over the years, we’ve learned that Ive isn’t much of a public speaker. Even at new product launches, Ive hardly ever attends events to discuss the new iPhone, iPad or iOS, as learned from Ive’s profile by Ian Parker for the New Yorker earlier this year....

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro checked himself into rehab earlier this year due to his chaotic lifestyle. He recently said he was tired of the way he was feeling and so he decided to admit himself to a wellness center. Fans of MTV’s Jersey Shore have watched Ortiz-Magro’s relationship with his baby mama, Jen Harley, unravel in the public eye. The two - who began dating in 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Ariana, in 2018 - have frequently made headlines for their blowout, and often violent, arguments....

Writer and director Jill Culton took on a massive project in making Abominable for DreamWorks, which premieres in theaters on September 27. She crafted a tale of unlikely partnership between a mythical Yeti and a brave teenage girl named Yi (Chloe Bennet) that speaks to friendship and family as much as it does legendary creatures. The filmmaker sat down with Screen Rant to explain what drew her to the idea in the first place, why her heroine is so dear to her heart, and how Everest the Yeti evolves over the course of the film....

Johnny Depp is fighting back at claims he assaulted location manager Gregg “Rocky” Brooks on the set of City of Lies. Brooks sued Depp for the alleged assault back in June, claiming Depp struck Brooks multiple times in the rib cage on the set last April. The alleged incident was sparked when Brooks told Depp that filming on that particular night was going to run late, which led to Depp reportedly screaming at and berating Brooks in front of multiple people on the set....

Apple Music head Jimmy Iovine this week sat down with Music Business Worldwide for a new wide-ranging interview, touching on topics such as Spotify’s free tier, exclusivity deals, and more. While Iovine has given more than his fair share of interviews in the past, this one contains a few interesting comments… Right off the bat, Iovine was asked to explain some of the biggest issues he has with the current streaming industry....

John Boyega as every cat in Cats makes the box office bomb much better. It was supposed to be a Christmas box office showdown for the ages when the movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s famed musical Cats went up against the expected blockbuster Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. But when the dust cleared it was actually no contest as Rise of Skywalker pulled in a massive $177 million while Cats managed a truly pathetic $6 million....

John Cena provides an update on the in-development Knight Rider reboot, telling us he hopes the project comes into fruition soon. Cena, who has grown his own brand since exploding onto the WWE scene in 2002, gave Screen Rant an update on the live-action adaptation of the Duke Nukem video game franchise that rumors attached him to earlier this year. Here, while promoting Blockers and while Cena took some time away from his preparation to take on the Undertaker in next month’s Wrestlemania 34 in New Orleans and gave us some insight into another revival project: Knight Rider....
