Reviews of Billie Eilish’s extraordinary Hit Me Hard and Soft have, not surprisingly, underscored the singer’s embrace of her bisexuality. Both the 22-year-old’s sense of style and dry, clipped vocal delivery are at times reminiscent of another queer trailblazer, Ani Difranco, whose fierce independence helped carve a path for “outsider pop” artists like Eilish—and who also has a new album out this week.
Unlike Eilish’s latest, Unprecedented Sh!t is less interested in interpersonal relationships than the sociopolitical conditions surrounding them. On “Virus,” Difranco examines her guilt about how Covid affected her (“I was so deeply pleased to pause this life/I think I jinxed the world and caused this strife”) and acknowledges the ways in which we silo ourselves from each other (“I just keep listening to my own voice/In the echo chamber of my choice”).

Summer House fans are expressing how much they miss the “genuine vibe” of the Og partying cast. The idea of the show is for friends to be able to let loose in the Hamptons after working all week. Now, it feels like all of that has been lost in the shuffle. Keep reading for more details on what viewers are saying now eight seasons in.
Summer House Fans Miss ‘Genuine Vibe’ Of Og Partying Cast
Vanderpump Rules gave way to Summer House thanks to Stassi Schroeder and the Wirkus twins. Stassi was friends with Ashley and Lauren Wirkus. The three of them were dining at Sur and told her how they would be in the Hamptons for the summer. Therefore, she decided to spend her birthday there. She gathered Scheana Shay, Kristen Doute, and Katie Maloney in Season 5 to head from California to Southampton and thus, Sh was born.

Three shows dominated the 2023 Emmy Awards on Monday night: “Succession,” “The Bear” and “Beef.” Each show nearly swept its respective category in the drama, comedy and limited series races. “Succession” and “The Bear” tied with a leading six wins each, and “Beef” followed closely with five trophies.
Hosted by Anthony Anderson, the 75th Emmy Awards on Fox provided multiple tributes to hit shows of the past, as well as the present. The casts of series like “Cheers,” “The Sopranos,” “Ally McBeal,” “Martin” and more reunited for the night, while former cast members of show’s like “Grey’s Anatomy” and the ever-Emmy-ignored comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” took the stage to present awards.
The audience in attendance also gave plenty of love to presenter and nominee Christina Applegate, who previously stated she is all but done with on-camera work due to multiple sclerosis. The crowd also got to its feet...

Coming-of-age young adult films can be a game changer if made well. It offers a perspective that other comedy or romantic films do not offer. A generation goes through an emotional and physical struggle of their own, and there is no end to learning from the past mistakes one has made. Coming-of-age films and shows delve deep into the individual mind and help people understand another generation.
Wake Up Sid (2009)
Wake Up Sid was Ayaan Mukherjee’s first outing as a director. As a young artist, his fresh approach to relationships and friendship was very evident in the film. Even though Wake Up Sid was primarily a film set in an urban milieu with young college students from the city trying to figure their lives out, the core of the film was the bond shared between Sid and his friends from college.

Exclusive: Sophie Holland has been among the UK’s busier casting directors in recent years. The London-based professional has worked on shows including The Witcher, Wednesday, You and The Continental, as well as upcoming movies such as Heads Of State with Priyanka Chopra and Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice sequel. Set up seven years ago, her company Sophie Holland Casting now has a headcount of five.
Amid broader industry upheaval and clamoring for change, casting has been through its own growing pains of late, as evidenced by the passionate response on Deadline to the self-tape issue.
At the heart of the self-tape debate is concern from actors about a lack of in-person auditions and the costs associated with self-taping. For their part, casting directors are dealing with a growing number of tapes and, until the recent strike action, a heavy volume of film and TV projects.

Queen, icon, legend. These three words form a common thread throughout the tributes being shared from figures in music, film, and television following the death of Tina Turner. The legendary musician died on Wednesday, May 24, at the age of 83, leaving behind a legacy defined by her unequivocal influence.
Beyoncé, who has been clear about Turner’s impact on her own career — the duo performed “Proud Mary” at the 2008 Grammys — paid tribute to the icon on her website. “My beloved queen,” Beyoncé began. “I love you endlessly. I’m so grateful for your inspiration,...

Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu recently chatted with Gold Derby’s Sam Eckmann about her role of Joy Wang in the hilarious yet big-hearted sci-fi action adventure film “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” Hsu shares, “I never expected to be in a hit film centered around an Asian family, where I get to just be a person and not, like, an Asian person the whole time.”
A24’s movie earned 11 Oscar nominations, more than any other contender this year. Three of Hsu’s cast mates also earned bids: Michelle Yeoh (Best Actress), Ke Huy Quan (Best Supporting Actor) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Best Supporting Actress). “Michelle is so incredible,” Hsu reveals about her leading lady. “I think that we all really slipped into this family dynamic quite seamlessly, and chemistry is very real, and I think it’s just this sort of unspeakable magic that you can’t quite know why.

It’s been three years since cinephiles have made their otherwise annual pilgrimage to the Eccles Theater, but the Sundance Film Festival is back!

A senior aide to the royal family has resigned after making some “unacceptable” comments to a black woman who visited Buckingham Palace.
Lady Susan Hussey, a close aide to the late Queen, apologized and stepped down from her position after making “offensive” remarks to Ngozi Fulani, founder of the charity Sistah Space.
Hussey is Prince William’s godmother.
Fulani posted about the interaction to Twitter via her organization’s account, saying she had “mixed feelings” about the royal visit. She wrote out the conversation that took place when Hussey approached her at the event.
According to the post, the 83-year-old aide asked Fulani “what part of Africa are You from?” and continued to press her when Fulani repeatedly answered that she was British.
She detailed the following interaction:
“Sh: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?
Me: ‘My people,’ lady, what is this?...
