NBC morning talk show host Megyn Kelly had a big, educational day today, when she learned—at age 47—that white people painting their skin darker in order to look like black people is bad. (Even—and we can’t stress this enough—if you really love Diana Ross.) Kelly’s unteachable moment came during her show Megyn Kelly…
As part of my flea-market mermaid costume, I wore an old silk nightgown, then spent a rainy evening treading all over the bottom hem. I have already given the nightie a wash with mild laundry soap in cold water, which took care of most of the dirt, but it’s pretty ground in along the seam. Think it can be removed?
In the first scene of this week’s episode of Black Lightning, the titular character is seen lending a hand to a fellow meta who’s scared and lost. Jefferson resurrected Black Lightning in order to kill Tobias Whale, but he’s found a new purpose since that man disappeared; where Tobias hides while still managing to…
Sacha Baron Cohen’s comedy starts in the places where a lot of people’s comfort zones ends; the Borat comedian has made a career out of inviting upon himself a mixture of scorn and discomfort, both from his audiences, and from the people he interviews. Still, that level of taboo-violation is going to differ a lot…
If no season of The Flash is truly underway until it has gotten its Harrison Wells, then “The Death Of Vibe” marks the real beginning of season five. Yes, we have already met the new Big Bad, and for some that might be considered the starting point, but for Wells connoisseurs, the introduction of Tom Cavanagh’s latest…
Well, this is it. The internet is done. We’ve seen the last thing the internet has needed to produce, and once we pass it along to you, we can start getting ready to shut the whole internet down. Man, the idea of connecting everyone in the world to a limitless supply of information sure seemed like a good idea at the…
Literally everything about Todd Phillips’ Joker has seemed bizarre, from the moment we heard that Martin Scorsese would be producing it to the story about extras being forced to pee on subway tracks, but one thing that has been particularly hard to pin down as been where it fits in the basic timeline of a Batman…

Well, it happened: Disney’s insatiable hunger for live-action remakes of its classic properties has now reached the point where it’s eating its own rattily dreadlocked tail, as Deadline reports that the studio is looking into a live-action reboot of a property that was already filmed by actual flesh and blood people,…
As far as the Los Angeles District Attorney is concerned, the murder trial against Robert Durst—the subject of the HBO documentary series The Jinx—must seem like a slam dunk. After all, the final episode of that series famously featured a recording of Durst saying, “What the hell did I do? Killed ‘em all, of course,”…
Perhaps you parents out there noticed your regular McDonald’s order suddenly cost a couple extra bucks. QSR Magazine reports the fast-food chain quietly removed Happy Meals from its $1, $2, $3 value menu, making a $3 Happy Meal a thing of the past. A Happy Meal now costs, on average, about 25 percent more.
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
A few weeks ago, we reported that Liam Neeson had become friends with a horse that he worked with on The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, noting that he and the equine actor had actually worked together on a previous movie and that the horse “whinnied” and “pawed the ground” to indicate that he remembered Neeson from their…
Many musical biopics depict their subjects’ output as monumentally, revolutionarily important. So there’s novelty to how much time Bohemian Rhapsody dedicates to the comparable strangeness of Queen’s songs. The movie puts forth that Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) had a stage presence unlike any other singer, which…

I understand why people would bring gifts to a birthday dinner, but isn’t it sort of tacky to make a big scene of ripping open paper, rustling gift bags, and yelling about the gifts? I saw this going on at a white tablecloth restaurant last…
A few years ago, legendary documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman made one of his occasional geographical portraits, capturing an entire community rather than focusing intently on how one of its institutions works (or doesn’t work). In Jackson Heights had a lot of ground to cover, as that particular Queens…
Halloween is right around the corner, meaning it’s time once again for us to look at the weirdest, goofiest, and totally mind-boggling Halloween costumes for sale this year. They’re supposed to be sexy, but they’re mostly bewildering. Come join us down the rabbit hole of awful character licensing and borderline…
It’s been seven years since America said “Goodbye, Michael,” as Steve Carell left his last regular TV gig, The Office, in order to go wear Big Shorts and catch foxes and whatever else it is big Hollywood A-listers do. Now, THR reports that Carell is returning to television, but not the kind that you, uh, necessarily…
Patrick Wang’s unlikely two-part comic epic A Bread Factory is set in Checkford, New York, a quiet town where residents gossip over coffee at Sam’s diner about the goings on at the school board, the town council, and the Bread Factory, the community arts center that is the soul of the town. Long ago in Checkford’s…
