A Broadway-style musical about the family on Duck Dynasty sounds like an SNL skit, but according to the New York Times, it’s actually happening. In The Duck Commander Family Musical, actors will portray the family’s rags-to-riches tale, as described in the 2012 book by Willie and Korie Robertson. The show is set to open in February at Las Vegas’s Rio hotel and casino, so the whole thing makes a bit more sense.

For Life of Pi, the overcontrolled director Ang Lee has gone with his strengths and made a movie that’s passionately overcontrolled. It takes place largely on a lifeboat adrift in the South Pacific that carries radically mismatched buddies: a skinny 16-year-old Indian vegetarian with the odd name “Pi” (Suraj Sharma) and a man-eating Bengal tiger with the even odder name “Richard Parker.” The lifeboat isn’t entirely lifelike, mind you.

Emma Stone is a mere 26 years old, but in the last cinematic year, she’s had four onscreen love-interests who were over 40, including two male characters who were impotent. Jennifer Lawrence is Hollywood’s most in-demand young actress, but ever since she won her Oscar, it’s hard for her to find a screen lover who isn’t approaching middle age. And Scarlett Johansson has been paired with older actors so often that when she romanced Mark Ruffalo in this summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, their 17-year age difference was the least nitpicked aspect of their union.

Spoilers ahead for season seven, episode four of Shameless.
After nearly two decades in Hollywood, Emmy Rossum can finally add director to her IMDb page. The actress helmed Sunday night’s episode of Shameless, the season high “I Am a Storm,” as both star of the show and the one behind the camera. Steering an ensemble cast of about a dozen, each with their own meaty subplot, all simultaneously playing out in various Chicago locations, would be a Herculean job for any director.

Will Smith. Between the vaguely obscene sweaters, unzippable coats, and festive carols that no one actually remembers the lyrics to because they only come up once a year, Will Smith is way ahead of you in terms of being over Christmas, despite wife Jada and daughter Willow’s obvious excitement on Instagram. Well, maybe just a day ahead of you, since it’s technically Christmas right now. Or for 12 hours. Either way, here’s hoping Will Smith’s soft Grinch take on his family’s clearly amazing holiday helps make your day merry and bright.
