On Thursday afternoon, professional far-right trolls Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman held a “press conference” featuring what they promised to be explosive allegations regarding Sen. Elizabeth Warren. In reality, it was a sparsely attended melange of journalists looking for Twitter fodder congregated outside a garage, with a sign saying “Elizabeth Warren: Cougar?” The completely made-up claims were as follows: The improbably named Kelvin Whelly, a former Marine, claimed that last year, Warren had hired him via the male escort agency Cowboys4Angels and engaged in a steamy extramarital affair with him,...

A very different kind of adult fairy tale (one that frequently doubles as a feature-length advertisement for tubal ligation), “Tully” is a fantasy of the highest order; it might look like an episode of “This Is Us,” but this story is every bit as magical as “The Shape of Water.” Think of it as Diablo Cody’s modern take on “Mary Poppins”: What it lacks in songs, it more than makes up for in sex scenes and Carly Rae Jepsen sing-alongs. Funnier than “Juno” and almost as ruthlessly honest as “Young Adult,” Cody’s third collaboration with director Jason Reitman is a razor-sharp movie about the trials of motherhood, and the clear and present danger of losing yourself once you start living for someone else.

A very famous gigolo just learned a very important lesson ... monkeys are way harder to control than chicks. Brace, one of the stars of "Gigolos," was in the market for a pet after his beloved dog Zeus passed. Fate connected him with Mikey the monkey ... it was an instant disaster. Mikey went on a tear, breaking drinking glasses, running his tiny motorized car into a family heirloom vase and violently yanking Brace's sister's hair.

Showtime is now airing Gigolos, a series about straight male escorts in Las Vegas. And while it's pretty much the disaster you'd expect, it's strangely fascinating--and amazingly, the nudity and sex is the least interesting part. The real problem is that it's just a low-rent show, one not worthy of the network that brought us Dexter and The United States of Tara. There's comic potential; heck, Brace is bright orange. And there's potential for an...
