How To Win Gordon Ramsay's Heart (And His Competitions)


With three shows on television here in America, Gordon Ramsay is one of the most recognizable chefs in the world.  But he’s also one of the toughest to please, which can be a constant cause of stress for contestants on HELL'S KITCHEN, MASTERCHEF, and MASTERCHEF JUNIOR.  On each of those shows, you’ve got to impress Chef Ramsay to survive in the competition.  Yet some of them still flame out (sometimes in spectacular fashion!).  So we asked Ramsay what it takes to succeed in his kitchen. Future contestants: Listen carefully!
You can currently watch Ramsay on HELL'S KITCHEN (Tuesdays at 9/8c on FOX) and MASTERCHEF (Wednesdays at 8/7c on FOX), while MASTERCHEF JUNIOR returns in the fall.

'San Andreas' Shakes Up The SFX Status Quo

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson currently stars in the box office hit "San Andreas," a throwback to the over-the-top disaster movies of the 1970s, such as "The Poseidon Adventure," "Earthquake," and "The Towering Inferno."

 As you would expect with a film about a 9.1 earthquake that destroys Los Angeles and most of California, there are plenty of amazing visual effects. But while most action films shoot their actors in front of green screens and add the special effects in post-production, "San Andreas" tried a different approach. Johnson told us that many of the film's effects were shot on actual sets, which gave the movie an air of authenticity.

Pop Partners At The ‘Dance’ Desk: Paula Abdul & Jason Derulo

In its 12th season, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE is reinventing itself, with a new panel of judges and a new theme pitting classically trained “stage dancers” against “street dancers.” The new faces at the judges’ table belong to a pair of pop stars who are also known for their dance moves: Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo. Abdul, of course, started her career as a dancer and choreographer before branching out into music. And she’s had plenty of experience as a judge from the time she spent on AMERICAN IDOL. But while “judge” is her job title, she sees herself as more of a mentor to the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE contestants.

 Derulo, though he started on the music side, has always incorporated cutting-edge dance moves into his videos and live performances. And because his music career is still going strong, it wasn’t an easy decision to join SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, but he thinks it was the right one.
 
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE airs Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.
