"Yippee ki-yay, motherf****r!"
Legendary action movie icon Bruce Willis can currently be seen on the big screen in his fifth go-round as John McClane, the perpetually "wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time," in A Good Day to Die Hard. In his 28-year career as an actor, Willis has starred in more than 60 movies — five last year alone — playing such diverse characters as a time travelling hitman, a deep-sea oil driller (in space), a taxicab driver (in space), a dead child psychologist, an honorable boxer with a killer hook, an assassin named "Mr. Goodkat," a professional gambler named "Dink," and a charming killer named "The Tulip." Some of his movies have become classics, while others...not so much, but they all boast one thing: Willis himself, a bonafide movie star the likes of which are rarely seen in Hollywood anymore. Pour yourself a refreshing glass of Seagram's Golden Wine Cooler, queue up The Return of Bruno on your iPod and help us select Willis' best movies.

"California."
Back in 1992, the Die Hard franchise was only at two installments, with John McClane (Bruce Willis) having successfully defending the Nakatomi building and stopped a rogue counter-terrorist unit from an airport — both on Christmas Eve. Also in 1992, Ben Stiller had yet to break out as a movie star and was working on his own show, The Ben Stiller Show, which was canceled by Fox after 12 episodes yet went on to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing the following year. To say the show was before its time would be an understatement, one that is underlined by the re-discovery of a Die Hard 12 sketch (via The Playlist), which sees Stiller stopping terrorists during a regular visit to the grocery store. It may have seemed ridiculous at the time, yet, years later, Willis would surf a military jet in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard and fight terrorists in Moscow in this month's A Good Day to Die Hard.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel are expecting a baby People reports. The singer tweeted "Josh & Me & BABY makes three"
Rihanna, not satisfied with only singing and acting, has taken a step into the fashion world by designing a collection for U.K clothing chain River Island. Judging by what the critics are saying, perhaps the star should have stopped at acting. The collection, which launched over the weekend, has been described as “uninspired, underwhelming and just plain unattractive” and the fashion show itself “a horror show”. Including belly chains, see through mesh tops and high slit skirts , the collection appears to be highly influenced by the superstar as something only she would — or should — wear. However it has been acknowledged that the collection will probably still sell simply due to the fact that the name Rihanna is attached.

In a career that spans decades, Willis got his start doing theater in New York before getting his break on the TV show Moonlighting and then moving on to movies. At the age of 57, Willis seems to be busier than ever, carving out new franchises like The Expendables and RED (whose sequel, RED 2 opens later this year), while still appearing in smaller, art-house projects like last year's Moonrise Kingdom.
This week, Bruce Willis returns to the franchise that made it all happen with A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth installment in Willis' most enduring franchise. This time, Detective John McClane will travel to Russia to meet up with his son (Jai Courtney) in a sequel that is poised to win a long, three-day weekend. But while audiences flock to see the latest chance to see Willis say "yippee-ki-yay," what do we know about Willis' entire career? We've got you covered as long as you have under 8 hours to spare.

Yippie Ki-Yay translates to basically the same thing in Russian.
Last time we saw John McClane (Bruce Willis), he was saving his daughter (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) from cyber-terrorists in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard, but for the upcoming A Good Day to Die Hard, McClane will be looking to help his son Jack (Jack Reacher's Jai Courtney) instead.
As revealed in previous trailers, the fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise sees the elder McClane (Willis) travel to Moscow in order to help out his son Jack (Courtney), but in the latest trailer he learns that his offspring is actually "the 007 of Plainfield, New Jersey," forcing the McClanes to team up to dispose of yet another group of European terrorists.

"We're not a hugging family."
Earlier this month, the teaser trailer for A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise, was released online and, while brief on story, showed that the return of John McClane (Bruce Willis) was going to be filled with action.
The latest, international trailer borrows most of the teaser, but begins by slowing down the proceedings to show that A Good Day to Die Hard is a Die Hard movie after all. Starting with the use of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the trailer is filled with homages to the first movie: McClane going to a new place for the first time, chatting with his driver about being a cop, and a group of European men causing explosions. There's also the inclusion of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who played McClane's daughter in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard, though, this time around, it's McClane's son Jack (Spartacus: Blood and Sand actor Jai Courtney) that needs saving. Or does he?

John McClane is back. And so is John McClane.
In the world of television, sitcoms are often granted a longer life by introducing more children to the family unit or a new character to the workplace. The Die Hard franchise seems to be no different, with more children being added in each new sequel. John McClane (Bruce Willis) was tasked with saving his estranged daughter (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) from cyber-terrorists in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard and, in the fifth installment, A Good Day to Die Hard, Willis has to travel to Russia to get his son, John "Jack" McClane Jr. (Spartacus: Blood and Sand actor Jai Courtney), out of jail only to become involved in an effort to stop international terrorists or thieves of an European nature. The sequel won't be out until next year, but there's already a teaser trailer online that shows the McClane boys are going to see their fair share of action.
