According to founding Beach Boy Mike Love, there has never been a post-1990s Axl Rose vibe going on with his band. Sure, the singer/songwriter admits he and the iconic band have had a bunch of bumps along the way, but it never got to a point where they truly lost that loving feeling. 'When you mix business with ego there can be tense situations, but when you let that go, you realize that a lot of the stuff that got in the way is in the past,' he explained in an interview earlier this month. 'We can let the past screw the present by holding onto old disagreements or you can move past it and do something great.'... And something great is exactly what they're doing. In celebration of their 50th anniversary, the band has regrouped, recorded a new album, and are in the midst of an international tour in support of it. That's Why God Made The Radio marks the band's first new album in years and the first in which surviving original members appear on an album together in decades. West Coasters Love, Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks fittingly recorded their 29th album at Los Angeles' Ocean Way Studios. The album finds the hitmasters in similar territory with catchy choruses and infectious harmonies, and no, even though they're in their seventies -- the Boys from Hawthorne, Calif., still sound as good as they did in the '60's. I caught up with Love after seeing the band sell out the Westchester County Center in White Plains on May 15 (yes you read that right... Westchester!) and asked him about the new album, the tour and getting the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers back together. You guys put on an amazing show the other night -- and a lengthy one at that! How did you come up with the set list for the tour? I'd imagine it's a very long, grueling process. It was. I'm always thinking you ought to be doing some of the songs the people know you for... the most recognizable, bigger hits lik

David Hasselhoff worked with many future stars on 'Baywatch' during his 220 episodes -- Brooke Burns, Elizabeth Berkley, Mila Kunis and many others -- but did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio almost played his son?In a new interview with Movieline's Jen Yamato, Hasselhoff confirms the Hollywood legend that DiCaprio auditioned to play Mitch Buchannon's son Hobie, a role that eventually went to Jeremy Jackson. (On the VH1 reality show 'Confessions of a Teen Idol,' Jackson claimed he beat out DiCaprio for the role; Jackson starred on 160 episodes of 'Baywatch' between 1991 and 1999.)'Yeah, it was true!' Hasselhoff told Yamato during the freewheeling conversation. 'I saw Leonardo DiCaprio and I said, 'You know what, that was the best thing that ever happened to you! You would have never gotten 'Titanic' and have been this big star. You d be like Jeremy Jackson and David Hasselhoff, looking for work.' Ha!'Despite losing out on 'Baywatch,' DiCaprio did feature on televisions in 1991: he was famously cast that year as Luke on 'Growing Pains.' DiCaprio co-starred during the long-running series' final two seasons.For more on Hasselhoff, including why his representatives begged him not to star in 'Piranha 3DD,' head over to Movieline.[via Movieline]EARLIER: No Leo, But Kate And The Cast Of 'Titanic' Celebrate 3D Release LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 27: (UK TABLOID NEWSPAPERS OUT) Kate Winslet attends the world premiere of Titanic 3D at The Royal Albert Hall on March 27, 2012 in London, England.

If you mixed Ferris Bueller with Larry David and Alvy Singer (Woody Allen in 'Annie Hall'), you'd get Sam Baum (Josh Gad). Sam's a lovable, quirky, neurotic NY native, emerging filmmaker, living in LA with his beautiful, compassionate, smart, and seemingly perfect aspiring actress girlfriend, Sammy (Kristen Ruhlin). Sam knows how lucky he is to have her in his life, since she was previously married to John (Johnny Messner): a, tall, fit, dashing, extremely successful surgeon and Harvard med school graduate, who she's remained cordial with. Before Sammy, Sam hasn't had much success romantically, so he overcompensates by routinely going out of his way to please her. He even offers her the female lead role in his next project... the night before one of Hollywood's hottest, most in demand actresses, Kim Powers (Hilary Duff), expresses interest in playing the role. Now Sam's caught in a pickle...
