The advertisement spoof began innocuously, introducing the 2025 edition of Spotify "Wrapped"-the streaming service's popular year-in-review feature that repackages data gathered from individual listeners into brightly hued, shareable statistics-which the show also tackled last year. When Spotify revealed to Andrew Dismukes's character that he'd jammed to 2,705 minutes of Steely Dan since January, his character smiled knowingly: "Yeah, that tracks."
But ahead of the end of the Upside Down, you'll find a bunch of new Funko Pops celebrating the hit Netflix series, most of which are just $15. This new batch of Stranger Things Funko Pops includes models for Derek, Dustin, Holly, Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Hopper, and Nancy. All of these are traditional Funkos, standing around 3.75 inches tall and giving the cast the iconic Funko makeover.
Richards said she fell in love with "a person" who didn't want to be in the public eye. Eventually the media speculation pushed them apart, according to Richards. "When I'm in love with somebody, I want to share that. I'm an open person like that," she said. "That doesn't mean the person I'm with feels the same way. All the speculation and the gossip and the talking is ultimately what ended it. I could've weathered the storm, but this is not for everyone."
In a face-to-camera recording, the Drag Race host tries to say: "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" but things don't exactly go according to plan. "So, how you gonna love somebody else... wait how'd it go? How you... you CAN'T love yourself," he begins. "Hmm, yeah. I got this, I got this," he continues, before rattling off the phrase in full. "There it is!" he says, triumphantly, before laughing in his typically infectious style.
The QM9K is available in four different sizes: 65 inches ($2,999.99), 75 inches ($3,499.99), 85 inches ($3,999.99), and 98 inches ($5,999.99). It was the first TV to launch with Google Gemini, it has a presence sensor that can turn on its ambient mode to show artwork (much like an art TV), and TCL claims it's capable of up to 6,500 nits of brightness.
The eight-member Arkansas Educational Television Commission, made up entirely of appointees of the governor, announced in a news release Thursday that it planned to disaffiliate from PBS effective July 1, citing annual membership dues of about $2.5 million it described as "not feasible." The release also cited the unexpected loss of about that same amount of federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was targeted for closure earlier this year and defunded by Congress.
Given the length of time it can take for the new season of your favorite TV show to come out, it's understandable that you might want a little video recap of what's happened so far. Ideally, that recap is accurate. Fans of Amazon's hit show "Fallout" said that wasn't the case in its AI-made synopsis of season one, released ahead of the hit show's new season next week. Fans quickly spotted factual errors, and Amazon Prime Video took down the recap.
These broadcasts are pure, unfiltered glamour. Hosts in peak-lapel dinner jackets greet viewers by name as they appear in the chat, champagne corks pop on cue, and the set - all black marble, gold trim and crystal chandeliers - pulses with 300,000 people watching from London postcodes and beyond. The feeds have become so iconic that entire round-ups now exist ranking the very best, such as the widely-shared UK online casinos list that Londoners in the know check religiously for the sharpest rooms in town.
Using YouTube's takeover of podcasts as a starting point, he explores how video has devoured audio and turned podcasts into something closer to daytime TV and late-night talk shows. NPR's Rachel Martin, host of the celebrity-interview show Wild Card, joins to talk about her own shift from intimate, audio-only conversations to highly visible video chats with mega-celebrities. She explains how the visual layer changes everything-from building trust with guests and audiences to deepening parasocial relationships, and why showing your face is necessary in a low-trust media world.
Oscar-nominated actor Sigourney Weaver has confirmed the reports that she will appear in the upcoming live-action Tomb Raider series on Prime Video. Speaking to Deadline, Weaver said she is "very excited" to join the cast and work with writer-producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge on the project. "The scripts are incredible and very funny, very charming, very witty, as we've come to expect from Ms. Waller-Bridge," she said. "I've always been a huge fan of hers. So I am delighted."
The L.A. County district attorney's office decided in April it would not prosecute Cory Palka for warning CBS executives in 2017 that a woman had walked into the LAPD's Hollywood station and accused then-Chief Executive Les Moonves of sexual assault, according to a document provided to The Times in response to a public records request. Although heavily redacted, the declination memo includes details and a timeline that match up with the findings
Julian Markston has been a ticking time bomb throughout this Matlock season. Ever since Olympia found the damning Wellbrexa documents in his safety-deposit box in the season-one finale, he's been scrambling, trying to stay out of jail and save his job (and maybe even to get back together with his ex). Because the Kingstons' grudge against Julian has kept Olympia from telling him everything he needs to know,
On Saturday Night Live, Sarah Sherman has played a woman covered in singing meatballs, a Jewish Elvis, and - last week - a drunk raccoon ribbing Colin Jost. But for Squirm-heads, she's in her truest, most delightful form when she's taking us through her own head: talking about some kind of disarmingly nasty body horror, complete with guttural sounds, clad in her famously bright, patterned, clown-adjacent wardrobe.
It hasn't been long since the 16-year-old actor auditioned for the role of Percy Jackson, the lead of Rick Riordan's Greek mythology-inspired book series and the Harry Potter to swaths of loyal Zillennials (this writer included). Scobell was only 12 when Riordan hand-picked him to play the Son of Poseidon, but so much has changed since - he starred alongside Ryan Reynolds in The Adam Project, a film that inducted him into the new class of promising young actors; and he's acted opposite Hollywood veterans like Michael Douglas and Owen Wilson. But, most importantly, he's lived up to being the face of Disney's long-awaited, blessedly book-accurate Percy Jackson adaptation.
During Efron's Dec. 11 appearance on E!'s Hot Gossalongside his Traitors castmate Rob Mariano (aka Boston Rob), the pair was asked to prove their closeness by answering each other's middle name. Rob correctly said Dylan was, in fact, Efron's middle name. "Nicholas Dylan," he said. However, Efron said he was only "half right" because he actually has a second middle name. "Nicholas is axed off," he explained - and "because it's my first name, everything gets bumped up." (His other middle name, FYI, is Harrison.)
Their long-distance, slow-burn situationship is well portrayed through a montage at the beginning of the episode that spans 2014 to 2016. We see them continue to text, Ilya partying and Shane shooting brand deals, and both checking their calendars for the next game they have against each other. Those games are intercut with glimpses of the sex they're having afterwards, and after Shane wins two cups, Ilya texts him, "The only cup you'll have next year is the one I'll take off with my mouth."
Those flashbacks featuring pre-ghoulified Cooper Howard take place around 2077. Specifically, the flashback showing the nukes falling on America takes place on October 23, 2077. The recap also claims that Lucy goes with the Ghoul at the end of the Fallout season finale because she has to choose between life and death. Wrong again, you dumb robot. She actually goes because she wants to track down her father and learn the truth. Something the Ghoul is interested in, too.
It's nearly impossible to describe the "Queen of all Media" in one sentence. Oprah Winfrey is a multihyphenate: A daytime talk show host who changed the business. A producer. An author. A philanthropist. An actress with accolades. A billionaire. An avid gardener. A champion of books and education. A media powerhouse. In 2014, a few years after ending the talk show that catapulted her to international renown, she was asked about the secret to her success.
Five years in the making, "Pole to Pole with Will Smith" follows the Oscar-winning actor's journey through the planet's most extreme environments from the South Pole to the North Pole. The 57-year-old celebrity travels across all seven continents, taking him from the icefields of Antarctica to the jungles of the Amazon, the mountains of the Himalayas, the deserts of Africa, the islands of the Pacific and the icebergs of the Arctic.
Music legend Diana Ross will headline this year's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. On Dec. 31, Ross will take the stage live and perform a medley of her greatest hits, including I'm Coming Out and Upside Down. Together we begin a new year. Let's embrace a new beginning, new opportunities, new joy a celebration of love, where we all come together as we begin 2026, said Ross.
"When I run into people in the street, they're very respectful," he went on. "They connect with my work, they recognize me, but they talk to me like you would talk to a person you don't know."
