It makes sense that canoodling celebrities often choose Coachella as a venue for their romantic escapades: it’s easy to get lost in the crowd at, say, a big Frank Ocean show and make out like no one’s watching. Only thing is, when you’re famous, everyone is watching. And Coachella 2023 is turning out to be ground zero for burgeoning or freshly debuting celeb couples.

Kim Kardashian is making her big American Horror Story debut later this year, but first, she’s got another season of The Kardashians coming to Hulu. Will we get to see her auditioning for the show? Possibly. But Hulu has a handful of other series to offer, too, in case you’re not a fan of the Kardashian family.

Scientists overhauled a tedious process to diagnose salmonella infection, replacing it with a quick, easy-to-perform test that lights up like a glow stick in the presence of the pesky pathogen.

The new Netflix and A24 series Beef, starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, has become a viral sensation since it premiered all 10 episodes on April 6. The comedy-drama, about a road-rage incident gone haywire, has garnered plenty of praise for its lead performances, the show’s depiction of church culture and even a Hoobastank needle drop. However, a resurfaced podcast clip featuring one of Beef’s supporting actors, David Choe, is casting a shadow over the acclaimed series. And... Читать дальше...

The last time we heard any rumblings about The Idol—creator Sam Levinson’s upcoming HBO show, plagued with misfortune since its announcement—the show’s star, The Weeknd, was firing back at a Rolling Stone exposé about the production’s turmoil.

Dead Ringers (premiering Apr. 21 on Prime Video) accomplishes less in six hours than what David Cronenberg’s 1988 feature film did in two—an example of subtraction by addition that’s indicative of modern streaming services’ approach to expansive adaptation. Handsomely mounted, well-performed, and modestly engaging, it puts forth great effort and care to achieve inferior redundancy. Or, to state the issue more plainly via a quote from one of its characters, “Why are we doing this... Читать дальше...

On a rainy April afternoon, I sat down for what I was sure would be the campsterpiece of the spring cinematic season, Mafia Mamma. If you haven’t heard, Mafia Mamma stars Toni Collette as a suburban mom turned Mafia don—a logline that stands out on the film’s poster, because of how it looks and reads like it should rhyme, even though it doesn’t. Not even a slant rhyme. Surely, a snappier choice would’ve been to play “mom” off “mob” in some fashion? Читать дальше...

Even if you’ve never been to an NRA-sponsored event, you can probably imagine the kind of people it attracts—read: old white guys. But South Dakota governor Kristi Noem is here to tell you how dead wrong you are to think it isn’t a diverse organization. And John Oliver is, fortunately, looking right over her shoulder, ready to point and laugh when an attempt to paint the gun-loving group as an exemplar of heterogeneity went perfectly horribly wrong.

In case last week’s episode of Succession wasn’t enough of an emotional gut-punch, HBO has decided to offer up more gripping storylines right alongside it, with new episodes of Barry. Yes, now Succession and Barry will be airing their fourth and final seasons back-to-back through May. Sundays are now our cry nights. Or will they be our therapy? Perhaps our evenings to have watch parties?

A Republican congresswoman has spoken out about the “extreme” policies being peddled by the far-right fringe of the party in recent months—with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) saying over the weekend that her colleagues’ stances on both abortion and guns are costing the GOP big time at the polls.

The dust has settled. It’s been a week—or, in the Waystar Royco Universe, only a day—since Succession’s big episode aired. We’ve all been eager to see the fallout. Well, it’s here, and in true Succession fashion, it’s a total clusterfuck.

The queen of the Roy family household has returned to her throne in the most recent episode of Succession, and she’s out for blood. Marcia Roy (Hiam Abbass) is back following her billionaire husband Logan’s (Brian Cox) death—though one plucky assistant is making things more complicated.

It’s 7:45 p.m. on a Thursday and I’m about to see ABBA live at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Well, not exactly—in fact, the band hasn’t performed in the U.K. capital in over 40 years. Rather, I’ll be seeing holograms, cleverly dubbed “ABBAtars,” of the Swedish supergroup as part of ABBA Voyage, a show that had sold hundreds of thousands of tickets before it even debuted last May.

Last week, Sen. Tim Scott announced the creation of an exploratory committee to run for president in 2024. Scott, an African-American Republican from South Carolina, grew up in a poor community as the son of a single mom.
