Battlefield Hardline Criminal Activity DLC Features 4 New Maps
More details about the upcoming Battlefield Hardline Criminal Activity DLC have been announced.
Like Battlefield's past offerings, the DLC will feature four new multiplayer maps, with two of them taking place at night.

Destiny’s New Exotics Will Drop in Old Missions
Bungie's marketing plan has been in full swing for the upcoming House of Wolves Expansion coming on May 19th, but there are still a ton of details that the community at large wants to know. One of the more common questions concerns the old Raids and what will be happening to improve them.
So far we don't know much, but during a recent studio visit IGN was able to discover that exotic weapons and armor, arguably the most sought after items in the game, will be obtainable through the old missions. When asked whether the Vault of Glass, or Crota's End Raid would drop House of Wolves level exotics the answer was a resounding yes. Yes, and they would drop at all the regular locations like the Gorgon's chest, Atheon, Crota, Ir Yut, and in Nightfalls. Bungie answered us by simply saying the following. "Yep, they should drop at HoW Level too. Remember old Exotics can still be upgraded too."

Constantine Cancelled by NBC
It was a long, painful road for fans to get this news, but NBC has now officially cancelled Constantine. It was several months ago when the network declined to order more episodes for the show beyond its initial 13, which usually means de facto cancellation. But NBC and Warner Bros. insisted that the fate of Constantine was still up in the air and it could potentially return for a second season - and in the past couple of weeks, producers met with NBC to pitch them their concepts for Season 2.
Alas, it was not to be, and NBC has decided to not move forward with the tale of John Constantine and his Hellblazer ways.
Could there be a future for the show elsewhere? Constantine Executive producer Daniel Cerone tweeted this today:
ABC Orders New Uncle Buck TV Series
On the heels of several new series pick ups yesterday, including a new Muppet show, ABC has ordered another comedy in the form of a new version of Uncle Buck, reports EW.
Based on the hit 1989 John Hughes film, which starred John Candy, the newest incarnation of Buck stars Mike Epps (Next Friday, Resident Evil: Apocalypse). Per the official description:
Uncle Buck (Mike Epps) is a fun loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s Nanny has just quit and his brother and sister-in-law need his help. His unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family and they may be the answer to his problems, too.
Three Stooges 2 to Feature Action Star
The Three Stooges are getting a sequel -- and muscle may follow hijinks in the upcoming film.

No official title or plot details are currently known, but this sequel will see Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Will Sasso return to reprise the roles of Larry, Moe, and Curly. C3 and Grand Peaks will produce alongside The Exchange.
