Kathleen Zellner, the attorney representing "Making a Murderer" subject Steven Avery, has identified new suspects that the police investigators and Avery's former attorneys had previously ignored.

"We have a couple. I'd say there's one, leading the pack by a lot. But I don't want to scare him off, I don't want him to run," Zellner told Newsweek in an extensive profile of the litigator that described how she planned to free Avery, who was convicted in the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.

Zellner told the magazine that the investigation's focus was kept narrowly on the families of Avery, his convicted nephew Brendan Dassey, and Halbach's family. She says key people who knew the victim were overlooked.

"We've got access to documents the public doesn't have," Zellner said. "We've got all the police reports, we can see exactly what they did and did not do. And it's a lot more about what they did not do."

In the months since she took Avery on as a client, Zellner has combed through all the documents in the case and performed or ordered her own forensic tests completed.

In Halbach's phone records, Zellner discovered that the victim had made two calls a couple of days before she was killed to a man with a record of sexual-abuse crimes in Arizona.

"A well-trained investigator, they'd be all over that," Zellner said. "And they would have gone and talked to [that man], and they would have interviewed these other people that [Teresa Halbach was] talking to right before her death. She's like prey being stalked, and that's [the most likely type of] person who would have been after her."

As Business Insider previously reported, Zellner found something else in the phone records that she thought was her biggest proof of Avery's innocence. Judging by the location of her last cellphone call based on cell-tower data, Halbach had left the Avery auto yard, and Avery's phone records show that he didn't leave the property, according to the lawyer.

Zellner faults Avery's previous legal team, Jerry Buting and Dean Strang, for not using this information during his trial.

"They screwed it up," she said.

In response to Zellner's critique of their work, Strang told the magazine, "That she is criticizing some aspects of the work I did at trial means that she is doing her job." Buting declined to comment on Zellner's critique but did say, "I continue to hope that Steven Avery gets a new trial."

Known as aggressive in legal circles, Chicago-based Zellner has successfully won the exoneration of 17 men and almost $90 million from wrongful-conviction and medical-malpractice lawsuits.

NOW WATCH: A law professor tricked his students into lying, which shows why you should never talk to police

Jay-Z's music streaming app Tidal now has 3 million paid subscribers, just 12 months after its official launch, according to the company.

That means Tidal has tripled its paid subscriber base over the past 6 months, as it passed the 1 million subscriber threshold in September 2015.

While impressive, Tidal's numbers still lag behind some of its biggest competitors. As this chart by Statista shows, Tidal's subscriber numbers are only a fraction of what Spotify or Apple Music has. In fact, Spotify got to 3 million paid subscribers just 6 months after its US launch.

But the growth also shows Tidal's strategy to focus on exclusive content may be working. In the past few months, Tidal secured two high-profile exclusive releases from Kanye West and Rihanna, which sent the app to the top of the app download chart.

NOW WATCH: Here’s what happens when you pour hot molten tar on an iPhone

For centuries, we've had some idea that marijuana might help relieve pain.

Now, Whoopi Goldberg wants to put that idea to use in a series of menstrual cramp products. 

Goldberg, along with co-founder and cannabis business veteran Maya Elisabeth, are launching an eponymous company geared toward relieving the pain associated with periods.

According to Vanity Fair, the Whoopi & Maya line will include edibles, tinctures (liquid extracts), topical creams, and bath soaks. They say the goal of these products is that they'd be more accessible than traditional sources of marijuana, like a joint or a pipe that you have to light up. 

“This, you can put it in your purse,” Goldberg told Vanity Fair. “You can put the rub on your lower stomach and lower back at work, and then when you get home you can get in the tub for a soak or make tea, and it allows you to continue to work throughout the day.”

The line is expected to become available in California starting in April, Vanity Fair reports.

What the science says about weed and pain

Some of the Whoopi & Maya products will reportedly just contain cannabidiol (CBD), which unlike marijuana's main psychoactive ingredient, THC, does not cause feelings of euphoria or intoxication, the characteristic "high" associated with pot.

Cannabidiol has been linked for years with different kinds of pain relief and even studied in several clinical studies. It's currently being explored as a potential treatment for certain types of epilepsy as well.

But apart from some self-reported use to fend off cramps, there isn't a whole lot of data available to date that suggests cannabis or its derivatives can help relieve the pain specifically linked to periods. But that could just be a result of a lack of data.

"With exception of a study in the 1800s, I see no evidence in the medical literature that supports that use,”  Dr. Ranit Mishori, a professor of family medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine, told Live Science on the topic of marijuana and menstrual cramps.

Menstrual cramps, which also goes by the name dysmenorrhea, refers to the lower abdominal pains felt during or before a woman's menstrual period. It's pretty common, and typically can be helped with pain relievers like ibuprofen, heating pads, and massage. For those with worse symptoms, health care providers can often prescribe other medications to help relieve the symptoms.

NOW WATCH: This is how big an asteroid would need to be to wipe out New York City

The promos for Peter Dinklage's hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" this upcoming weekend give just a taste of what the "Game of Thrones" actor has in store for fans.

Appearing with cast member Cecily Strong, Dinklage takes a stab at a new tagline for the HBO hit series; waxes poetic about the beauty of Saturday's musical guest, Gwen Stefani; realizes he and Strong have not in fact arrived to a showing of "Batman v. Superman"; suffers Strong's "Game of Thrones" ignorance, and looks all-around very cool with his tousled hair and leather jacket.

This will be the first time Dinklage appears on the NBC sketch show as host, though it's not the first time the New York resident has appeared on "SNL." 

Having Dinklage on the show led to a Facebook petition to bring him on as host, which then generated headlines, but only about 2,000 likes. Well, change has to start somewhere. As Dinklage says in his "SNL" promos, "Summer is coming."

NOW WATCH: The bustling capital on 'Game of Thrones' is actually an ancient city in Croatia

How do you live up to something like the Oscar-winning “Boyhood”? If you're writer/director Richard Linklater, you go back to your roots, even if you never strayed that far from them in the first place.

“Everybody Wants Some!!” has been called a “spiritual sequel” to “Dazed and Confused,” one of Linklater's earliest and most cherished films, and that line isn’t just spin. In fact, it's so similar that some of the characters even look and act the same.

The film is set in the fall of 1980. Jake (Blake Jenner) is ready to start his freshman year on the baseball team at a college in Texas. Jake and his new family of jocks enjoy one last weekend of freedom before the first day of classes kicks off. There's a lot of hazing, a lot of drinking, and a lot of discussion of Pink Floyd.

This is everything Linklater is comfortable with: a specific time, the state of Texas, and lots of partying. But at first, the characters come off as unlikable, probably because of the amount of times they shout “lesbian!” whenever a girl won’t talk to them. Some movies tap into an older time through clothing and hairstyles. “Everybody Wants Some!!” doubles down on the attitudes of its period.

But then a minor cinematic miracle happens: You grow attached to these characters, and then you grow to love them. “Everybody Wants Some!!” goes deeper into clique culture than any other college movie I can remember. By the end of the surprisingly long (for this genre) two-hour running time, you’d be happy to spend a whole other movie with these characters. It is wondrous what a little bit of empathy can do.

What follows is an absolute delight. Like Linklater's “Dazed and Confused,” “Before” trilogy, and “Boyhood” before it, “Everybody Wants Some!!” is essentially about nothing. But two hours of nothing is rarely this enjoyable.

The characters sit around and talk and talk. Some conversations are deep, and some aren’t as deep as the characters think they are. At one point, they pass a bong around and Willoughby (Wyatt Russell) discusses his theories on music. A weaker director would be laughing at the characters. Linklater, rather, plays the scene sincerely (it is still hilarious, though), and it feels more like a memory than a joke.

There are many points in the movie when you think something bad will happen. At the beginning of the movie, the coach tells the team that there's no drinking or girls in the house. You immediately suspect that they’ll get caught by the film’s end. Linklater, however, is all about plants rather than payoffs. There are no villains here, just people who occasionally act out and are later forgiven — as in most of real life. Once you realize this, you can just relax and enjoy this big hangout.

“Everybody Wants Some!!” doesn't tread on any new ground. It is essentially “Dazed and Confused” but with fewer authority figures around. Hey, I’m not complaining. The film's optimism, its lively soundtrack, and the way it gleefully exists in the moment ("L-I-V-I-N" as it goes in "Dazed") left me with a big smile on my face. I could watch about 100 more of these plotless movies from Linklater.

"Everybody Wants Some!!" is now playing.

NOW WATCH: 'Batman v Superman' is a complete trainwreck, and director Zack Snyder is to blame

William Shatner is being sued for $170 million by a 59-year-old man claiming to be his son.

According to court documents published by Page Six, Peter Sloan, a Tampa radio host, says his birth mother, the late Canadian actress Kathy McNeil, had a brief fling with Shatner while they were working together in Toronto. 

Sloan was put up for adoption five days after he was born. 

The lawsuit claims that Sloan met Shatner on the set of "T.J. Hooker" in 1984, and at the time, Shatner allegedly admitted to being Sloan's father. 

The lawsuit further claims that Sloan tried to contact Shatner by phone after returning to his home in New Jersey, but Shatner hung up. Sloan claims he was contacted by someone on behalf of Shatner days later who said that Shatner was "totally denying paternity at this point" and would not take a DNA test. 

Sloan began using the name Peter Shatner in 2009 "for the purpose of creating a nom de plume to author his book." He began a radio show under the same name in 2011. 

He received a letter in 2011 from Shatner's lawyer, which said, "There have been many people over the years who have claimed to be his children or other relatives. He is an incredibly busy, 80-year-old man, and is not interested in spending time discussing this issue with you.”

Both Sloan's Twitter and IMDBpro pages were shut down in 2015, according to the lawsuit.

He seeks $30 million in compensatory damages, $90 million in punitive damages, and $50 million in pain and suffering. He is also demanding a jury trial. 

Shatner has denied the allegations. 

Shatner's representative was not immediately available for comment to Business Insider.

Entrepreneurs who make it onto a "Shark Tank" episode have the opportunity to introduce their company to a viewing audience of 7 million potential customers.

The companies that land a deal with one or more of the show's investors then have the chance to scale and, in some cases, become a nationally recognized brand.

We looked through old episodes and asked the Sharks themselves about their most successful deals. Read on to learn about the biggest "Shark Tank" success stories so far.

Scrub Daddy

A sponge company has far and away become the biggest "Shark Tank" success story. Over the past three years, Scrub Daddy has brought in a total of $75 million in revenue, according to investor Lori Greiner.

Greiner made a deal with its founder and CEO, Aaron Krause, in Season 4 for $200,000 in exchange for 20% equity. At that point, Krause had struggled to reach $100,000 in sales over 18 months, but Greiner saw great potential in the company's signature offering, a proprietary smiley-faced sponge that was more durable, hygienic, and effective than a traditional one.

She helped Krause expand his product line and brought them onto QVC and into stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond, where they have become bestsellers.

Tipsy Elves

When Robert Herjavec invested $100,000 for 10% of Evan Mendelsohn and Nick Morton's ugly Christmas-sweater company in Season 4, it could seem to viewers that he was betting on a fleeting fad. It turned out, though, to be his most profitable "Shark Tank" investment, he told Business Insider.

To stay ahead of trends, Herjavec helped make Tipsy Elves a year-round novelty apparel company that can capitalize off multiple holidays and college-football season.

Before its 2013 "Shark Tank" appearance, Tipsy Elves made $900,000 in annual revenue. Last year it brought in around $8 million, and this year it's on track to make $12 million, according to the company.

Breathometer

In Season 5, Charles Yim got a five-Shark deal for Breathometer, a portable Breathalyzer that works with a smartphone. Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John, Herjavec, and Greiner got in on a $650,000 deal for 30% of the company.

Since his "Shark Tank" appearance, Yim secured an additional $6.5 million in funding, partnered with the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, and developed a more accurate and more portable main product in addition to a device that tracks oral health and hydration levels.

Yim told Inc. that Breathometer is expected to end 2015 with $20 million in sales — double last year's number.

With the arrival of spring comes, of course, the planning of spring-break trips to tropical locales — even if you're too old to have an official spring break.

Taking time for yourself away from your usual surroundings helps give you the rest you need, whether you're escaping bad weather, pausing the daily work grind, or spending quality time with family.

And if you need some pointers on how to do it right, with little concern for expense, you can look to the social-media accounts of some of the biggest celebrities.

Jesse Eisenberg looks like he doesn't want anyone to see him. He's tucked away in a posh hotel in downtown Manhattan, where people do all they can to stand out, tucked in a corner, leaning against a wall with his hands in his windbreaker, awaiting yet another round of press.

If it seems like he's not looking forward to it, well, he has a reason: For weeks he’s been on an intense global press tour for the biggest movie on the planet at the moment, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (he plays madman Lex Luthor).

But he’s actually doing press for another movie, the indie film “Louder Than Bombs” (opening April 8), in which he plays Jonah, a new father who must return to his childhood home to prepare an exhibition for his war photographer mother, who recently died.

Known for jumping back and forth from Hollywood movies like “The Social Network” and “Now You See Me” to smaller-scale fare like “Night Moves” and “The End of the Tour,” Eisenberg sees it all as the same work. He doesn't get carried away by any hype.

In fact, he says he's never seen a single movie he’s starred in.

Business Insider talked to Eisenberg about why he's so quick to move on to the next thing (he’s also a playwright and a contributor for The New Yorker), why interviews make him uncomfortable, and why playing Lex Luthor is an actor's dream.

Business Insider: How did you get out of doing press for “Batman v Superman”?

Jesse Eisenberg: I was told that the Mexican premiere would be "heroes only," which is a euphemism for, "There's not enough room on the plane to have the bad guy." Which is fine with me because the schedule was unbelievable. 

BI: And it's not like you're taking a break. You're right here doing press for another movie. 

Eisenberg: Exactly. [Laughs] My hope is to never act again and just do press.

BI: It's hard to peg you to one type of role or movie. Has that been intentional?

Eisenberg: No. It's a total accident. I view myself in the narrowest possible terms, but I don't watch anything I've been in and I don't read reviews or analysis of movies I've been in, or my plays. So I'm kind of shocked any time somebody hires me and even more shocked any time somebody hires me to play a character like Lex Luthor, which I only knew from the public consciousness of him being a bald, brooding villain who is older than me. 

BI: So you didn't even use Gene Hackman's Luthor as a reference point?

Eisenberg: I actually did see some of that.

BI: This is going to sound weird, but you in some ways you are the comic relief in both “Batman v Superman” and “Louder Than Bombs.”

Eisenberg: Yeah. I feel things can always be funny, but that's probably because I have some kind of leftover childhood need to make people laugh. For somebody like me, that's the thing you excel at. I played basketball all the time, but I was nowhere near the best on the team, so you make fun of the guy who is the best on the team in a way that also seems to invite him in and suddenly you have friends. 

BI: With all of your insight into your characters, you still don't want to see the finished product on-screen.

Eisenberg: Yeah. 

BI: So if the director called you and asked if you wanted to see some rough assembly of the movie, you’d say no?

Eisenberg: Yeah, anything. Because I have a very specific feeling about what I do. I really like thinking that you're working in this bubble and I can experience these personal emotions without thinking that it's going to be scrutinized by, in some cases, a lot of people, in some cases, a small group of people. To take that burden off yourself of thinking about how it's going to be perceived by other people or myself has kind of made me feel that much more comfortable.

BI: So, zero interest in catching a glimpse of yourself as Lex Luthor?

Eisenberg: I would say the parallel allegory is when you go away for the weekend with your family and you get all of the pictures back. You've taken a hundred pictures and you only like two of the pictures and you send them to all of your friends and the rest you're totally mortified by how you look. The side of your face, that Speedo you decided to wear — that's the experience for me. Two percent of a project I feel so comfortable with and proud of, and the rest of it I feel very self-critical of. I'm doing this willingly, of course, but if you can project that kind of feeling about those 98 pictures of yourself on to a massive scale of a movie that a lot of people are not just going to see but scrutinize, you can understand.

BI: There are actors who love seeing themselves on that big screen, so what's the joy you get out of this business? What's the payoff?

Eisenberg: The payoff for me is the experience itself. I really do love it. I think there are probably a lot of actors like me who I think probably struggle to feel comfortable in their own lives and acting in some ways provides a safe context for them to live out emotions that they possibly repress or live out experiences that they are not afforded by virtue of circumstance. So all that stuff for me is the real joy.

BI: The joy of living in someone else's skin. 

Eisenberg: Exactly. I mean, I loved doing “Louder Than Bombs” and “Batman v Superman” partly because those characters wear wigs. I know it sounds petty, but what that actually does is allow me to further invest in the artifice of what I'm doing and forget myself in a way that I cherish. 

BI: But can you find any satisfaction from doing the press side of the business?

Eisenberg: Ten percent of it is a real joy in being able to be the kind of, let's say, public face of a thing you feel proud of. Ninety percent of it is concern that I'm going to misspeak, because I have in the past, and that seems to be the overriding narrative regardless of the intention or relevance. So that's a lot of what this is. [As an actor] you’re looking to crawl into a anonymous fictional person's skin, but then you have the ironic obligation to promoting the movie in such a public way that it almost undermines the initial intention of going under the radar. 

BI: At a certain point, can you play hardball with a studio and say, "I'll do a couple of talk shows and that's it"?

Eisenberg: It's always a negotiation, and I think I'm in the majority when I say all that stuff is nerve-racking. As nerve-racking as the movie is. That in some ways can be more nerve-racking, going on the talk shows. That said, I understand the economics of the system and I feel so honored to be a part of this system. It's an industry that has given me so much. And I'm not talking about some kind of financial compensation, although it's good to have a job. 

BI: You have to pay the bills. 

Eisenberg: Yeah. But it also has given me this wonderful feeling of not only doing something I love, but being integrated into a community that I really respect of people who are in the arts and hopefully progress cultural discussions through fiction. I think there's nothing more wonderful than using fiction to reflect real-world cultural ideas.

BI: What's the creative release you get from writing? Whether it's a play or book or doing the New Yorker pieces?

Eisenberg: It's quite similar, except it's done in solitary confinement. But it's a similar feeling of self-expression, of thinking what I have to say is not necessarily important but worthy of enough of a discussion for me to feel comfortable putting it on. Let's say at minimum funny and at maximum contemplative and insightful in some way, which is an aspiration. So I guess I can only say I'm compelled to do it in the morning rather than compelled to do other things in the morning. And then the weird struggle to get the play on, and you have to deal with all this weird other stuff that I'm not good at — ticket sales and promotional. But the other stuff is why you wake up.

BI: Is there any motivation to rattle the cage? I specifically mean the fictitious film review you did in The New Yorker, which critics didn’t find funny. 

Eisenberg: Not only is there zero motivation to do that, but it's actually something I make a concerted effort to avoid doing because of my public exposure that, in my opinion, was a mortifying experience that I hope to never repeat again. Where I feel something that I had written was misinterpreted in a way that made people feel bad, that is absolutely horrifying to me. I feel so embarrassed and I feel ashamed that I should make people feel bad. People who have actually been really great to me, because my career has benefited greatly from critics because I do movies like “Louder Than Bombs,” which doesn't have a marketing campaign in the billions and relies on positive notice from smart journalists. That was not only a mortifying experience, but one I absolutely hope to never repeat again. 

BI: It was funny, though. 

Eisenberg: It's not worth it to me. No one should be offended, that's not my style. 

BI: Has it dawned on you that you're in the biggest film in the world? I'm sure every press person has reminded you of this.

Eisenberg: That's the only time I ever hear about it because I stay away from it. I live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. So there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused. I feel so honored to be part of a movie where I got to play, in my opinion, such an interesting character on a grand scale. As an actor, the part I played in that movie is the part you look for in 100-seat theater plays. A character that's eccentric and funny but also dangerous and also increasingly disturbed. All that stuff is the stuff you look for when you're working Off-Broadway, so I feel really honored and proud people get to see it. 

BI: But it must not have been fun to be in that water all the time.

Eisenberg: [Puzzled look] 

BI: The scene where you’re in the water in General Zod's ship.

Eisenberg: Oh yeah, that's funny, that's right. Yes. Far be it from me to complain to work on an awesome movie set, but I've been on unusually uncomfortable movie sets. That wasn't one of them. I did this movie "The End of The Tour" in the coldest winter on record in the coldest state, and we didn't sleep for two weeks because we were traveling while we were shooting. But to me, all that stuff is wonderful because it actually brings an emotional momentum to a fictional story in a way that's totally impossible to replicate. Like on a play, if I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one. Your emotions are unhinged in the proper way, you're not self-conscious or second-guessing yourself because you don't have the mental fortitude to do it. I actually don't mind doing that stuff. 

BI: Well, I hope you get to see some of your films at some point in your life.

Eisenberg: Yeah, we'll do a retrospective. 

BI: You can do it like Shia LaBeouf. We’ll give you a theater, and you'll watch them all in reverse chronological order.

Eisenberg: Oh, that's how he did it?

BI: And we live-stream your face reacting to it all.

Eisenberg: Oh, interesting. That's a fun idea.

NOW WATCH: It's Wrestlemania week — here's what everyone gets wrong about the WWE being fake

Stephen Colbert had a pretty good animated version of Donald Trump explain recent uproar around his campaign.

It has been an eventful week for the Trump campaign.

First, the Republican presidential candidate's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged with simple battery after allegedly grabbing a reporter during a Trump campaign event.

And then, Trump appeared with CNN's Anderson Cooper. When asked about Trump's ongoing feud with Ted Cruz, which recently brought in their wives, the real estate mogul answered, "I didn't start it," an answer that Cooper compared to a five-year-old's response.

"Donald Trump does act like a five-year-old," Colbert declared of the analogy. "But that's why people like him."

Colbert wanted to speak to the candidate himself about the recent campaign hiccups, but he wasn't available. So the "Late Show" host, who thinks that Trump has become "a cartoonish version of himself," did the next best thing.

"So instead, we invited a slightly less cartoonish version," he announced before bringing out "Cartoon Donald Trump."

When Colbert tried to get some reasoned explanation from the animated Trump, he only received childish responses.

For example, when the host called him out for sounding immature, Cartoon Trump responded, "I know you are, but what am I?"

And Cartoon Trump also had the most inventive way of threatening legal action: "I'm rubber, you're glue. I have a lawyer and I will sue."

Watch the childish exchange with Cartoon Donald Trump below (about 5 minutes in):

NOW WATCH: ‘The images are worth a thousand words’: Trump shares a meme attacking Ted Cruz’s wife

The latest celebrity-approved accessory is a silicon bracelet called the Lokai.

Like the iconic yellow Livestrong bands of years past, this one promises to distribute a portion of its profits to charity — 10%, in this case. Like the Livestrong, you can wear it 24/7 without worrying about it tarnishing or falling off.

But unlike the cheap Livestrong bracelets — which you can buy for $4.99 each — the Lokai is $18 a pop. And instead of sending money to cancer research, you get to choose the charity you want to support.

"It's a very millennial take on how to change the world and how to give back," Lokai's 25-year-old founder Steven Izen told Business Insider. 

Though Lokai has declined to share how many bracelets it has sold, the company has raised over $4 million for charities since the brand's launch in 2013, thanks in part to some serious celebrity support and a strong social media following.

The idea for Lokai came from a bittersweet moment in Izen's life: while enjoying a vacation with his family, he received news that his grandfather had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

His desire to find balance in the midst of the "highest highs" and "lowest lows" turned into the distinctive Lokai design.

Each bracelet has one white bead encasing water from Mount Everest, and one black bead filled with mud from the Dead Sea — the highest and lowest points on earth, respectively. Izen even found a team of sherpas who could get him the Everest water.

Chances are you have some opinion about the body of work of Ben Affleck.

He has been inescapable. The actor has close to 50 credits to his name over a career that has quite a few highs and as many lows.

And in a career not lacking for sharp criticism (whether over his questionable ascent to leading-man roles or his work opposite onetime fiancée Jennifer Lopez), his latest dive into superhero-dom, "Batman v Superman," must be giving him flashbacks of earlier critical pans.

Sad Ben Affleck shouldn't worry, though. He still hasn't topped his worst. Here are Ben Affleck's worst — and to be fair, best — performances in his career:

WORST: 5. "Reindeer Games" (2000)

In what can be explained only as a favor to the Weinsteins for making "Good Will Hunting" (this was released by the company's genre arm, Dimension), Affleck stars in this campy thriller/love story in which he plays an ex-con who is forced into robbing a casino.  

WORST: 4. "Surviving Christmas" (2004)

When a movie with "Christmas" in the title comes out in October, you know something is wrong. In fact, this comedy starring Affleck as a millionaire who spends Christmas in the house he grew up in (along with the family that currently lives there) was supposed to come out around Christmas 2003, but it got pushed back.

We're guessing test screenings weren't favorable, because there's a reason you don't see Affleck in comedies like these anymore: He's just not good at them.

WORST: 3. "Runner Runner" (2013)

It's understandable why Affleck was drawn to the role of a crooked entrepreneur who runs an offshore betting site: He's a big fan of poker. But why Justin Timberlake or anyone else followed along is anyone's guess. Perhaps because the movie was written by the same guys who did "Rounders," but the end result this time is a messy story with laughable dramatic moments.

After vowing that his new album would only ever be available on Tidal, Kanye is expected to release "The Life of Pablo" in full on Friday to other streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, according to sources Business Insider talked with who were familiar with the plans.

Two songs from the album, "Famous" and "I Love Kanye," were already available on Spotify and Apple Music.

Tidal has said "The Life of Pablo" was streamed 250 million times in its first 10 days on the service. The album also had 500,000 illegal downloads on its first day alone, according to TorrentFreak.

But fans have been frustrated by its lack of availability on Spotify and Apple Music, which are the two most prominent on-demand streaming services by user count. 

It must be noted, however, that Friday is April Fool's Day, and Kanye has been known to change his mind.

When asked to quantify his hatred for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz showed that it can make him think deadly thoughts.

The Trump-Cruz feud escalated this week after the real-estate mogul threatened to "spill the beans" about Cruz's wife and shared a photo of the candidates' wives side-by-side, comparing their looks.

Cruz appeared on Wednesday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and the host asked the Republican presidential candidate "get to know you" questions. He started by asking whether Cruz's heated feud with Trump went beyond partisanship.

"Who do you like better, Obama or Trump?" Kimmel asked.

"I dislike Obama's policies more, but Donald is a unique individual," Cruz answered diplomatically.

That diplomacy melted away, though, when Cruz then referenced the late-night show's earlier segment on April Fools' Day tricks, then said, "If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I'm not confident which pedal I'd push."

Watch the segment, and Cruz's entire interview below:

The BBC released the trailer for their new Top Gear reboot Thursday.

It is the first official footage released for the new season since the sacking of famous host Jeremy Clarkson after he punched a producer in a dispute over a hot meal. 

Clarkson was followed out the door by fellow Top Gear hosts Richard Hammond and James May, who have since begun production of a new $250 million series on Amazon.

The new BBC Top Gear, which will now feature six hosts including British radio personality Chris Evans and "Friends" actor Matt LeBlanc, is set to premier this May.

The trailer revealed a variety of stunts in the classic Clarksonian Top Gear tradition: Evans drifting a McLaren supercar with Formula 1 driver Jenson Button, LeBlanc driving about in a ridiculously modified three-wheeled Reliant Robin, and what appeared to be a C7 Corvette with a roof-mounted machine gun. 

Devoted Top Gear fans, many vocally skeptical of any replacement for the Clarkson-Hammond-May triumvirate, may be relieved to see antics resembling the previous show.

 Here's the trailer.

After topping the charts in Japan, Nintendo's first smartphone game, MiiTomo, is officially available in the U.S. for both iOS and Android.

If you're wondering what a Nintendo game on a smartphone looks and plays like, this guide will take you through the game's setup process, providing you with an overview of MiiTomo's gameplay.

It's yet to be seen whether the game will catch on internationally, but in my time with it, I could see it becoming a surprise smash. MiiTomo is only the first in five games Nintendo and mobile game maker DeNA are set to release in the next year.

Here's what it's like to play.

Getting Started: After downloading and installing the app, you're asked to chose your location and whether to link MiiTomo to a new or existing Nintendo account. Doing so will allegedly net you some in-game bonuses.

Making your Mii: Using your phone's front facing camera, MiiTomo will make a Mii — an avatar Nintendo first introduced in 2007 alongside the Nintendo Wii — whose facial characteristics match yours. The results aren't perfect, but you can easily customize all of the Mii's attributes to your heart's content.

Personalizing your Mii: In addition to altering your Mii's physical appearance, you're also able to customize their voice and personality. The voice controls are surprisingly robust, and while the results aren't particularly natural sounding, it's possible to approximate your natural speaking voice.
