A spinoff of the hit Fox sitcom That ’70s Show has been ordered for Netflix, Variety reports. There's currently an order for 10 episodes of the new show, titled That ’90s Show. It might seem too soon to start parodying the nineties, but there is actually a similar gap between each show's premiere date and the year their universes are set in. This iteration will be produced by Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner, who were responsible for That ’70s Show and its much less successful spinoff, That ’80s Show. What...

Selena Gomez has kept a pretty low profile this week, last being photographed out in October 1. But Chris Evans following her on Instagram was enough to spark a report in Us Weekly, The Sun, and gossip blog Nicki Swift about fans' theories that the two may be romantically involved. Some on Twitter claimed that the two were seen leaving the same studio and restaurant at different times in tweets posted on October 1, but there is no documented proof of that. In fact, the paparazzi photos of them in...

“There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris,” Ernest Hemingway once wrote in his acclaimed memoir about 1920s expat life, A Moveable Feast. Very wise words. Call it whatever you like: The City of Light, The City of Love, The Fashion Capital of the World, Paris is steeped in history and utterly charming at every turn. Whether you’re people-watching at a café, scoring vintage Chanel at a secondhand shop, or drinking wine by the carafe (no judgment here), there’s simply...

How do you make the most out of a summer in New York? Happy Hour is a charming ode to the young women traipsing around downtown who always have somewhere to be. The debut novel by Marlowe Granados, written in diary form, takes place in one electric summer in New York, from late May to Labor Day. The 21-year-old protagonists, Isa and Gala, always seem to be whisked away to parties and art openings at a moment’s notice and sneaking in the back door of places where they wouldn’t otherwise...

It is just days before the Tony Awards would celebrate Broadway’s eagerly anticipated return after going dark for 17 months, and Annaleigh Ashford, who earned the coveted award in 2015 for her performance in You Can’t Take It With You, is giddy with appreciation when we hop on a Zoom call together. That’s partly because the live ceremony, which aired on September 26, marked an IRL reunion with some of her thespian friends. It’s also because, even throughout the hellscape that was 2020 (and still going strong in 2021), she’s...

Another day, another Trumpworld memoir. The latest damning dispatch from the Trump Administration comes courtesy of Stephanie Grisham, who served various roles in the White House throughout a four-year period: communications director and press secretary in the West Wing, as well as communications director and chief of staff in Melania Trump’s East Wing. In I’ll Take Your Questions Now, her new memoir, Grisham depicts a White House “where everything was like a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse of fireworks.” Caught between the president’s abusive...

It's true, Netflix's smash-hit K-drama Squid Game is a show largely about brutality, poverty, desperation, and the inevitability of death. It is also a show in which the main characters sport some truly iconic green tracksuits. These two truths, however separate, can and must co-exist. You might be asking the question, Is it appropriate to wear the garb of these poor souls, who fight and kill one another in order to outlast a deadly children's game? Your heart is in the right place, I assure you, but nevertheless we must...

The Other Two, the hit HBO Max comedy series that concluded its long awaited second season on September 23, was recently renewed for its third, but co-creator Sarah Schneider admits she's still riddled with self-doubt, despite the show's passionate following. When asked if she feels the same sort of imposter syndrome as Brooke Dubek (Heléne Yorke), one of the titular “other two,” she's perfectly blunt: “I’m a writer, does that answer your question? We live in a society where at any moment, you can go online and see how much...

On Saturday, model Connar Franklin posted a now viral TikTok of her casual hang with “international celebrity” Selena Gomez. In the clip, Gomez is talking to their friend Aaron, taking a mock snooty tone while joking about what happens to her pals when they start following her on social media.“All my friends literally get mad at me when they follow me because their Explore page is me, so all they see is me,” Gomez quips as Franklin giggles behind the camera. “And then I'm like ‘I'm sorry, I'm just so...
