Manson, known for his role in the murder of Sharon Tate and her unborn child - the father was acclaimed film director Roman Polanski - as well as seven other people, has been serving out a prison sentence which saw him living behind bars since 1971, when he was initially sentenced to death for his role in the murders.

'Beauty and the Beast' A Delight, But What About Those Stereotypes?
There is no question about the quality of Beauty and the Beast, regardless of whether you watch the animated or the live action version of the film.

In all, the new film is in many ways on par with the 1991 animated one.

President Trump's Revised Travel Ban Gets Trumped
It's unlikely that President Trump is feeling the love from the Aloha state this morning. A federal judge in Hawaii ruled last night, mere hours before the Trump administration's latest travel ban was due to take effect, that the revised ban was, like its earlier counterpart, unconstitutional. Suman Raghunathan, executive director of South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT), noted the victory for Muslim travelers and said that the federal court order that was now blocking the ban sent a clear message to the current administration.

"Long Live Rock" - The Who Announce Las Vegas Residency
British rockers The Who are heading to Sin City for a history-making, albeit brief, residency. The band, led by Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, have perhaps become best known as the group whose music became theme songs for the CSI franchise - "Who Are You" was the theme for the original CSI, "Won't Get Fooled Again" introduced CSI: Miami and "Baba O'Riley" was the lead in for CSI: New York.

John Lithgow Slays In 'Trial & Error' - Or Does He?
There's no questioning John Lithgow's extensive experience playing both sides of the criminal line. In addition to the Trinity Killer in the much-beloved series Dexter, Lithgow has also played the bad guy in movies like Ricochet, Cliffhanger and Silent Fall. Not to be forever known as a criminal, Lithgow has also played goofy in such series like 3rd Rock From The Sun and played somewhere in between the two as the reverend insistent on forbidding dancing in a small community in the original Footloose. He's also set to appear in the upcoming a cappella sequel, Pitch Perfect 3.
