'Straight Up Hollywood': Hear our new podcast

When you're an entertainment reporter, friends tend to ask you things like: "What was it like to meet (insert name of famous musician)?" "How was the premiere of (pick a blockbuster movie)?" "What is the life of a reporter in Hollywood really like?"

So, we've decided to answer those questions. In a podcast.

Presenting... Straight Up Hollywood, Paste BN's new entertainment podcast featuring a combination of reporters Bryan Alexander (@bryalexand), Bill Keveney (@billkev), Carly Mallenbaum (@thatgirlcarly) and Andrea Mandell (@andreamandell), who share tidbits from a week of reporting on movies, TV and music in la la land. And also share a drink.

This week, ahead of Mother's Day, we're talking about ensemble film Mother's Day (director Garry Marshall is lovely to interview-- his recent movie as lovely to watch), action-comedy Keanu (there's a movie within this movie waiting to be made, about the rags-to-riches story of its onscreen kittens) and departing NCIS star Michael Weatherly (he has reasons for leaving that great job). Plus, we share tidbits from interviewing Jessica Biel, Angelina Jolie and Fifth Harmony. (Note: Bryan Alexander was off this time.)
