Puerto Rico has launched an investigation into the status of an invasive organism whose behavior may have endangered some of the island’s native turtles: Jake Paul. Specifically—and per TMZ—the territory’s authorities took notice after Paul posted a video of himself and his friends apparently racing in trucks along…

A little more than a month after his death, a posthumous album featuring never-before-released tracks from rapper DMX has now had its release date set. Per Billboard, Exodus—a 13-track collection of unheard music, produced by DMX’s long-time friend and collaborator Swizz Beatz—will release on May 28, through Def Jam Re…

Ever since we became aware—thanks to the damned internet—that it was a thing, Americans have looked at Europe’s annual Eurovision Song Contest with poorly disguised jealousy. “After all,” the thinking goes, “Who are these Europeans to trot out a largely meaningless pageant where spectacle overshadows art at every…

We will admit to a certain unhealthy obsession with wax figurines—possibly on account of Getty Images, which we spend an inordinate chunk of our days trawling through for picture of Bill Maher where he looks like a human being, being absolutely jammed with shots of the things. So when some real wax drama breaks out,…

You’d think that late-night host, comedian, and all-around human joy-fountain Amber Ruffin wouldn’t have to sweat out her quarterly progress report on something as second-nature to the writer and comedian as responsible allyship. After all, she’s Amber! Host of Peacock’s prize entry in the late-night political comedy…

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills entered Bravo’s vaunted Housewives franchise in 2010 as number six in the series, trailing Real Housewives Of Orange County, Real Housewives Of Atlanta, and Real Housewives Of New York (original title: Manhattan Moms). But it’s safe to say that the glittering opulence of Beverly…

As far as we can remember, the Bring It On franchise has always been pretty light on murders. (Although the franchise’s most recent direct-to-video installment, Worldwide #Cheersmacked, does have a whole plotline about a cheer squad in wannabe Anonymous masks hacking in to other groups’ broadcasts to hijack their…

Say what you like about ABC as a network: When it reaches for the axe, it does so with pure and unquestionable killing intent. Over the years, we’ve gotten a sense for when the bloodlust is about to fall over the Disney-owned network—usually around the second week of May, when it gets ready to show off its new slate…

Exciting news about the past today, as Deadline confirms that ABC has now picked up the Don Cheadle-narrated reboot of classic TV nostalgia factory The Wonder Years. Deadline reports that the series, which will center on a Black family living in Montgomery, Alabama, in the 1960s, will star Dulé Hill, Saycon Sengbloh,…

Halston, the latest series to come from Ryan Murphy’s Netflix deal, is one nearly three decades in the making—the mega-producer has wanted to tell the story of the mononymous fashion designer since the start of his own expansive career. It’s not hard to see the appeal, or parallels: Like Murphy, Halston (born Roy…

Given that it’s one of the most successful original series in Netflix’s history, and that it exists under the aegis of prominent TV empire-builder Shonda Rhimes, it’s not exactly surprising to learn that Chris Van Dusen’s Regency romance hit Bridgerton is getting a spinoff. Per THR, we’ve now got confirmation that the…

Riot Fest is officially back! With more people getting vaccinated and governors across the country dropping mask mandates, it’s looking like this summer and this fall will finally start looking a little bit like the Before Times—which means, more live music. Festival organizers have released the lineup for this year’s…

There are few words that can make us more excited for a modern TV show than “guest-starring Gillian Anderson.” Between The Crown, American Gods, Hannibal, and more, Anderson has become one of television’s most welcome drop-ins, simultaneously funny, enigmatic, and austere. Now she’ll be bringing those same qualities…

United States copyright law is a real beast. There was a time, not so long ago, when any creative work would fall into the public domain—meaning the original rights to the work had lapsed, allowing anyone to make use of the characters and ideas within it—after 42 years. Then, in the 1970s, the Walt Disney company…

Over 20 years before Iron Man kick-started what’s now the Marvel Cinematic Universe—the pop-culture juggernaut that devours so much of the box office—another Marvel hero got his chance to save the world. Big difference, though: the star of Howard the Duck didn’t exactly set the world on fire with his efforts.

Being a kid on The Mosquito Coast sucks, pretty much. You’ve been dragged from town to town your whole life, have no friends, don’t get to go to school or have a phone, and now, thanks to some backstory your parents won’t even divulge, you’re on the run from the law and facing down Mexican cartels. Screw that, man.

If you’ve never had to descend into the basement of a store, go behind the cash register and through the maternity section, only to find a single rack of blousy oversized tunics, then maybe Project Runway featuring plus-sized clothing isn’t that big of a deal for you. It certainly doesn’t seem to be important to many…

Alice Cooper, the once-terrifying demon scourge of rock and roll, forgot he had an Andy Warhol silkscreen in his house. We’re not surprised that Cooper has an interest in art—not only has he collaborated with Salvador Dalí in the past, but he’s clearly a learned and sophisticated man—but the story of how he…
