On the heels of Green Day’s performance ringing in the new year on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special on Sunday night, Elon Musk has unsurprisingly found fault with the band’s left-wing political message it slipped into one of its popular songs. While singing their 2004 hit “American Idiot” during the televised performance, Green […]

Guy Fieri and his sons Hunter, 27, and Ryder, 18, are proving that they’re the family that inks together, after the trio revealed their new tattoos in a New Year’s Instagram post. With the caption “Happy New Year from the Fieri’s” Guy, Hunter and Ryder all showcase their new arm ink front and center for […]

Heeeere’s Mickey. One day after officially entering the public domain, the original black-and-white version of Mickey Mouse from 1928’s Steamboat Willie has his first non-Disney project, and it’s as un-Disney-friendly as it gets — a slasher horror film called Mickey’s Mouse Trap. The film, set for release in March, just unveiled its movie poster and […]

If the edible mascot controversy from the Pop-Tarts Bowl still leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you should be forewarned that it just got regurgitated up a bit in Monday’s Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. The Cheez-It Bowl mascot — predictably a giant Cheez-It — held up a sign during the game that read “Non Edible […]

As I watched John Harbaugh yell at the refs in the Ravens-Dolphins game on Sunday for calling offensive pass interference on a shady play he loves to run that could have been flagged many more times, and then as I read on ESPN on Monday about how much Jim Harbaugh loves courting controversy and confrontation, […]

As if she needed any more accolades to close out an already historic 2023, Taylor Swift had one more mic drop moment up her sleeve and it came at the expense of none other than the King himself, Elvis Presley. Billboard announced on Sunday that Taylor Swift has surpassed Elvis Presley as the solo artist […]

It’s January! And with that heavy egg nog and fruitcake going right to your gut, it’s time for some New Year’s resolutions. But just because you’re spending more time on the treadmill doesn’t mean you don’t have time to binge! Fire up Paramount+ on your nearest screen while you chisel those abs, because the streamer […]

Rumors of a potential merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount are swirling, even though we just got used to saying Max instead of HBO Max! Also, that means I better write this quickly, before there are even more new offerings from Max to tell you about. As is, there are still plenty of binge-worthy […]

The legend of Mike McDaniel, comedy wizard and viral meme sensation, continues to grow. On McDaniel’s Friday press conference, before the Dolphins’ biggest game of the season thus far against the Cowboys, it wasn’t his sound bites about the upcoming matchup but his new fire glasses and self-roast zingers that have the internet buzzing. At […]

Did you hear the news? Disney+ and Hulu are getting married! I mean, they might not put it like that, but they are forming a special union with one another (Ron DeSantis is investigating right now if it’s heteronormative or not so he knows if he has to launch another doomed war against Disney). But […]

It’s hard not to announce what’s new to Peacock in January 2024 without sounding a little like Bill Hader’s Stefon character from Saturday Night Live (although that’s probably fitting since SNL is also streaming on Peacock). Just listen to a few of these wide-ranging offerings and tell me you’re not thinking of Stefon delivering them […]

Swifties are truly getting what they want for Christmas this year — the chance to see Taylor Swift and her entire immediate family at Arrowhead Stadium cheering on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs. It’s a Swiftmas miracle! It makes sense, as Taylor would naturally want to spend the Christmas holiday with her family. But it’s […]

For those hoping it’d be a Swift Christmas in Kansas City for the Chiefs game today, it’s going to be a very Merry Swiftmas! Taylor Swift was seen in her usual spot in Travis Kelce’s private suite to watch the game, complete with Travis Kelce-themed Christmas attire (as if there was any doubt). Swift also […]

In Hollywood’s ceaseless current quest to form cinematic universes galore, there is one glaring genre omission in the film trend — a comedy-centered cinematic universe. Sure, studios have crossed over comedic properties with other franchises in the past (looking at you, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein), but the closest thing the film world has to […]

Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers — better known collectively these days as the breakout superband boygenius — have some seriously gallows humor when it comes to their wish for the band’s future. In a deep-dive piece in the New York Times on the group and their recent tour, boygenius delved into their hopes […]

These apes really have it out for taking over our planet. Wes Ball, the director of the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, teased in an exclusive interview with Empire magazine that the film could be the first in a new trilogy for the lucrative Apes franchise. “From the beginning we thought about […]

It’s one of the most famous album covers of all time, and now an appeals court has decided that Spencer Elden, better known as the ‘Nirvana Baby’ from Nevermind, can bring on a child pornography lawsuit for the iconic image after all. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in a ruling filed […]

In a red carpet interview with Access Hollywood during her Fenty x Puma event in Los Angeles, Rihanna dropped a pretty big admission about her famous Super Bowl pregnancy reveal. According to the pop star and business mogul, the reveal of her baby bump and second pregnancy wasn’t planned as part of the halftime show. […]

If there’s one thing all NBA fans can agree on, it’s that nobody likes a flopper. The NBA has tried fines, suspensions, and this year, its most stringent rule change yet to deter the practice. Known officially in the league as Secondary Theatrical Exaggerated Movements — or S.T.E.M. (not to be confused with the ultra-trendy […]

Now that the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes have been resolved, the major studios can get back to what they do best — consolidating to maximize profits and maintaining their stranglehold on competition in the face of a fast-changing media landscape. Axios is reporting that the heads of Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global met […]

Maybe a Super Bowl ring isn’t worth as much as you’d think. Derrick Ward, a running back for the miraculous Super Bowl champion 2007-2008 New York Giants, was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday for his alleged connection to at least five robberies in the area. Ward, 43, remained in custody as of Wednesday morning, […]

The post-credits scene at the movies has become a staple of any major dramatic blockbuster with franchise ambitions. Marvel might think they invented the teaser scene at the conclusion of a film’s end credits to tee up the next tentpole feature, but the post-credits scene actually owes its roots to comedies more than any other […]

Those who watched all but the end credits of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem probably have the same question as someone holding a block of cheese who wants to make nachos — where’s the Shredder?! Well now Mutant Mayhem director Jeff Rowe is shedding some light on the whereabouts of the Ninja Turtles’ arch […]

Breaking news: Travis Kelce likes Taylor Swift’s buns. Her homemade cinnamon rolls, that is, but if he didn’t make some joke to that effect I’d be stunned. None other than legendary quarterback Bernie Kosar broke the news on Tuesday about Taylor Swift’s special pregame meal ritual for her guy. Kosar was on the radio show […]

For those hoping Spaceman would be a satiric biopic about Chris Parnell’s doctor character from 30 Rock, Dr. Leo Spaceman (memorably pronounced Spuh-che-men), Netflix’s new teaser trailer revealed that, alas, it is not. Rather, Spaceman is a sci-fi drama starring Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, and Paul Dano, in which Sandler plays an astronaut trying to […]

For those of us who grew up with a movie poster for the original Ghostbusters up on our wall, and then dusted it off and brought it out of storage when Ghostbusters: Afterlife came out in 2021, it might be time to clear off a little more wall space — the new poster released Tuesday […]

In a shocking turn of events for one of the most up-and-coming young actors in recent memory, Jonathan Majors has been promptly fired by Marvel following his conviction for assault and harassment of his (now ex) girlfriend following a car altercation in March. Majors was becoming an increasingly important part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, […]

Travis Kelce might be Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, but sounds like he’s taking a page from Swift’s fellow world-dominating musical genius (and friend) Beyoncé and getting ready to put a ring on it. Page Six is reporting that an engagement between Kelce and Swift may be imminent. The website even quotes a source close to Kelce […]

This seems like a new low, even for you, internet. Food-shaming Chrissy Teigen’s baby for how much baby food he had on his spoon? Yikes. Luckily, Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to online trolls and somehow anticipated this one coming, and was ready and waiting with a sharp response. Teigen took to Instagram to share […]

Now that a guilty verdict has been handed down on Monday for Jonathan Majors, convicted of assault and harassment of his girlfriend in a car during an altercation in March, Majors’ already cloudy future with the MCU is getting even more tenuous, with Marvel fans flooding social media to call for his firing. Majors took […]

After Taylor Swift went viral in her Time Person of the Year interview recently for her savage response to all the “Dads, Brads and Chads” annoyed by her screen time during NFL games she attends, it was only a matter of time before the Dads, Brads, and Chads clapped back. Well now they have in […]

In a big win for Prince Harry in his fight for privacy against the royals-obsessed British media tabloids, a U.K. judge has ruled in favor of the Prince in the heavily scrutinized phone hacking case. The London court found that there was enough proof that Mirror Group Newspapers — owners of several tabloid publications that […]

The breakup between Cardi B and Offset is getting pretty ugly. Cardi B confirmed earlier in the week that she and her husband Offset have broken up and she’s currently single, and now she is unloading on her ex on social media. Cardi B first took to X/Twitter, then Instagram Live to unleash an angry […]

Car racing in the middle of a crowded street in Hollywood is never a good idea, and when you’re an A-list actor like Michael B. Jordan doing it in an expensive blue Ferrari it’s even more fraught with hazard. The Creed star was captured on video obtained by TMZ in which he appears to be […]

Barbie famously tells Ken in her eponymous big-screen debut, when he asks if he can come over to her house, that she has “Nothing big planned… just a giant blowout party with all the Barbies, and planned choreography, and a bespoke song.” Well now that bespoke song, and two other popular ones from the film […]

Beloved children’s author Roald Dahl paints a vivid picture on the page, so it should come as no surprise that many of his works have been adapted for the screen, with the latest Wonka, set to hit theaters on Friday. His writing style has such a unique and inimitable nature in its mix of humor, […]

It should come as no surprise that Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday in style Wednesday night in New York City with all her famous friends. The only person conspicuously absent from the festivities was her main squeeze, Travis Kelce. Sure, Kelce had a good reason for missing, with the Chiefs riding a two game […]

If Sigmund Freud were alive today and reading TMZ, he might say “sometimes a jet ski trip is just a jet ski trip” upon hearing the news that Drake and Camila Cabello hit the water together in Turks and Caicos Islands on Wednesday. But for the rest of us, it’s fair game to openly surmise […]

For anyone who’s ever watched Will Smith behind the plate at Dodger Stadium and couldn’t help but think of Men In Black, or seen Anthony Edwards posterize someone for the Timberwolves and then found their mind inexplicably wandering to a favorite episode of ER, this list is for you. Watching a pro athlete who has […]
