Ted Lasso finally returns for what could be its last lap around the pitch, though the team remains mum on whether the series really ends here. Regardless, the third season will reach some sort of finality over its dozen new episodes. “This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell,” star and creator Jason Sudeikis said in early March.But that doesn't quite mean it’s a curtain call for the Emmy-winning soccer comedy. “It’s not necessarily the...

Austin Butler and his lingering Elvis accent didn't take home the Oscar for Best Actor last night, but the star got attention for his (brief) reunion with the woman who believed he should pursue the Elvis role: his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. Hudgens and Butler were photographed together while exiting the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Butler was talking to Sharon Stone, while Hudgens walked right past him, ignoring him. What's less clear is whether the two interacted inside the party or had a moment beyond that.Vanessa Hudgens passing Austin Butler at...

It turns out, Top Gun: Maverick isn’t just a sure-fire blockbuster and cash-grabbing sequel; it’s an award contender, too. The Tom Cruise-starring sensation has racked up an impressive string of accolades since soaring into theaters last May, from the American Film Institute awards to Critics’ Choice and Golden Globe nominations, and now it’s even an Academy Award Best Picture nominee. So, if you haven’t seen it in theaters already, how do you watch it?Maverick is now streaming on Paramount+, and has been since December 22. That’s particularly later than the...

I’m not sure what, precisely, I expected when walking into my screening of The Banshees of Inisherin, but it wasn’t...well, The Banshees of Inisherin. The Academy Award Best Picture nominee from director Martin McDonagh manages to be both hilarious and heart-wrenching in one breath, thanks in no small part to career-high performances from a cast including Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Kerry Condon (each nominated for their own Oscars). Despite its absurdist plot points—the story’s about a man willing to cut off his own fingers to avoid an old buddy—Banshees...

Netflix's major hit Stranger Things premiered in 2016, and its star Millie Bobby Brown is about ready for the series to be over. In a new interview with Seventeen, the 19-year-old admitted she'd been living in Hawkins long enough. “I'm definitely ready to wrap up. I feel like there's a lot of the story that's been told now,” she said. “It's been in our lives for a very long time. But I'm very ready to say goodbye to this chapter of my life, and open new ones up.”Brown added, “I'm...

Everything Everywhere All at Once has emerged as the crowd favorite film of 2022, pleasing both critics and audiences alike with its lovably bizarre blend of humor, science fiction, action, family drama, and romance. The resulting buzz around it has put Michelle Yeoh on the pedestal she deserves to stand upon, granted Ke Huy Quan a warm and satisfying return to Hollywood, made a rising star out of Stephanie Hsu, and renewed our faith in word-of-mouth film promotion. Much like its title suggests, this multiverse-hopping adventure directed by The Daniels...

If Taylor Jenkins Reid is to be believed, it doesn’t take much to fall in love with Daisy Jones. The latter is the protagonist of the former’s bestselling novel, now adapted for television in Prime Video’s buzzy new series Daisy Jones & the Six. The show stars Riley Keough (of Zola acclaim and Presley pedigree) as the titular singer/songwriter; she becomes an icon after teaming up with The Six, an already successful band that narrowly missed their shot at superstardom after the implosion of their lead singer, Billy Dunne (Sam...

Last year, I stood side by side with thousands of women protesting the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, eliminating 50 years of precedent protecting women’s reproductive freedoms. I was surrounded by mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers who were outraged that their daughters would now have fewer rights than they did. These women hadn’t only come together to speak out against the Dobbs decision—they were out in force because they knew extreme far-right elected officials within the Republican Party wouldn’t stop attempting to restrict abortion.They were right.Less than...

Atlanta is a unicorn. A predominantly Black city with among the highest percentage of tree canopy of any major U.S. metropolis, the Georgia capital earns its nickname: the City in a Forest. But some of that greenery is now being threatened after the Atlanta City Council approved a $90 million complex for police and fire officials to be built on 85 acres of Atlanta forest land. The proposed center would be outfitted with a shooting range and a mock city to use for training—a nightmare for activists and organizers who...

After rising through the music industry to make platinum records and Super Bowl memes, Abel Tesfaye (better known as The Weeknd) has set his sights on new terrain: television. The singer is starring in, co-writing, and executive producing HBO’s The Idol, the buzzy, controversial music industry drama he co-created with Reza Fahim and Euphoria’s Sam Levinson. Lily-Rose Depp will star alongside Tesfaye. Already touted as “the sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood”—and stirring up the investigative reporting to back that up—the story is said to follow “a female pop...

The era may be long past, but remnants of the Swift Squad, circa 1989, live on: “I’m a psychopath at a Taylor show,” admitted Gigi Hadid during an interview this week. “I go nuts. I’m not cool at all. I’m, like, the most embarrassing friend.”This, of course, begs the question: Is anyone not? If, having undergone the rigorous process of securing a ticket to a Taylor Swift show, you’ve emerged energized and unscathed, you’re either extraordinarily well-connected or you’re committed. In this case, the supermodel happens to be both. Her...
