Most people tend to know Netflix best for their explosive docudramas on cults and killers, or for reviving mid TV shows from other networks, or for titillating sex and violence, or even for mind-bending sci-fi. But for the past decade, there is no genre the global streaming giant has thoroughly dominated more than stand-up comedy.

It turns out that Elisabeth Moss is a great celebrity to weather your first Los Angeles earthquake with. I learned this back in February, as she calmly informed me that the hotel meeting room where we were speaking was shaking not because of a large truck driving past the window or a low-flying airplane, but because there was a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere, creating seismic waves.

Every moment of The Idea of You feels like the first day of summer vacation: dreamy, sun-soaked, and unbelievably horny, if you have an…adult taste in getaways. In watching the steamy new romance, we are living vicariously through someone who has achieved every teenage girl’s fantasy—sleeping with the world’s biggest, hottest celeb. In this case, the A-lister is Harry Styles at the peak of his One Direction fame—or at least, the lead love interest is loosely inspired by him. Читать дальше...

I have played tennis approximately three times in my life and embarrassed myself each time. As such, it takes a lot to get me to watch tennis—even on film. Fortunately, Challengers, Luca Guadagnino’s steamy tennis drama, has granted us a vehicle to pretend we’re innocently watching sports, when we’re all really here to see Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor make out while Zendaya watches.

By the time The Late Show began airing on Tuesday night, police in riot gear had already breached and cleared Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall–which had been occupied by pro-Palestinian student protesters in the early hours of Tuesday morning–while reportedly making dozens of arrests.

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) isn't exactly warm and fuzzy. He once threatened to fight an online stranger who challenged his rejection of the 2020 election results. He's a firearms enthusiast who has publicly suggested that Black Lives Matter protesters should be met with force by police. More recently, Higgins personally manhandled a progressive activist at a press conference.

Fox Business Network host and former Trump White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow asserted Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s “woke” tax policies are part of “racial warfare against white folks,” while also adding to right-wing criticisms of Democrats for pushing “DEI” initiatives.

Melissa, can you hear her?

Barbra Streisand is speaking out in response to backlash over a since-deleted comment asking Melissa McCarthy if she’s taking Ozempic, saying it was a simple misunderstanding.

On Monday, McCarthy shared a photo of herself and the director Adam Shankman at a Los Angeles gala the day prior. Never one to mince words, Streisand wrote in the comments: “Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?”
