Comedian Adam Carolla stated that Ellen DeGeneres has always been mean and that her staff was afraid of her.

In May 2022, DeGeneres ended her show after complaints of workplace abuse caused her to lose more than one million viewers in one season.

During an appearance on the podcast After Party with Emily Jashinsky, Carolla stated that DeGeneres “has always been a mean person.”

“And it’s not, you know, she had her dust-up with the press and these stories probably three years – two or three years ago.”

“But I did her show, and I mean, look, I’ll tell you truthfully, sort of how it works when you do every show, every show has its own kind of personality,” Carolla noted, referring to his 2012 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which ran from 2003 to 2022. “The show itself, not the on-air show, but the behind the scenes, they all take on...

4 Times Dakota Johnson Has Handled Crisis With Ease. (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Dakota Johnson is arguably one of Hollywood’s most intelligent actors. She has a reputation for not suffering fools easily. The actress, who never fails to articulate the absurdity of a situation in public, once slammed social media users for dragging her into the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Over the recent years, Dakota Johnson endeared herself as one of the few celebrities who have dished out unfiltered ripostes. The actress’ dry sense of humor and quick wit were on full display during her 2024 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she handled a wardrobe function with grace befitting a movie star often saddled with untimely crises.

Here’s a look at the four times The Fifty Shades Of Grey star handled crisis with grace:

Now that the ubiquity of on-demand entertainment has meant no longer being forced to watch whatever TBS was rerunning when we’re bored, the kids these days mostly know The Brady Bunch in meme form, specifically the clip from 1996’s A Very Brady Sequel in which Marcia Brady responds to her sister Jan’s obvious lies about a new boyfriend with a pithy, “Sure, Jan.”

Thanks to that perfectly encapsulated dismissal, one of the most enduring legacies of the series is the fraught relationship between Marcia and Jan Brady, which was just as real off screen as on. It may not have taken the same form of middle child Jan’s resentment of being outshone by her older sister, but it did get a lot gayer.

We actually don’t know what it was that ignited the feud between Marcia Brady actress Maureen McCormick and Jan Brady actress Eve Plumb,...

Adam Carolla is showing up late to the Ellen DeGeneres bashing party, piling on the disgraced host during the latest episode of the After Party with Emily Jashinsky podcast. DeGeneres didn’t exactly admit she was a bad boss on her 2024 Netflix special, For Your Approval, but make no mistake, says Carolla, “Ellen has always been a mean person.”

Talk shows don’t have to be miserable, Carolla told Jashinsky. He explained how guesting can be a fun, laid-back experience — depending on the host. “Every show has its own kind of personality,” he explained. “Not the on-air show, but the behind-the-scenes. They all take on the personality of their leader.”

He likened going on a talk show to shopping at a business where all the employees are friendly and relaxed versus a shop where “everybody’s sort of douchey. You’re going, ‘Why is everyone so mean and crappy in this business?...

Pamela Anderson‘s heart may be fluttering for Liam Neeson right now, but did you know that the ‘Baywatch’ actress has been married a total of five times in her lifetime? And out of those 5 marriages, 2 of them were with Rick Salomon.

Who is Rick Salomon? Well, Salomon is best known for his poker skills as a high-stakes poker player. He also found himself in the spotlight due to a s*x tape with Paris Hilton and his high-profile marriages.

Anderson’s third marriage was to Salomon, and the two of them tied the knot at a hotel in Las Vegas in October 2007. Less than ten weeks later, they decided that it wasn’t working out for them, and Anderson filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

After a lot of confusion surrounding the status of their relationship, both Salomon and Anderson filed for annulment, which the court finally granted on March 24, 2008.

When the iconic sitcom Will & Grace first premiered on NBC in 1998, featuring an openly gay man as a lead character was considered truly risky. It was a groundbreaking proposition in network television. This daring move came just a year after Ellen DeGeneres’s eponymous sitcom, Ellen, had been cancelled. That followed a significant ratings nosedive, largely perceived as a backlash to her character’s historic on-screen coming out episode. At the time, the landscape of LGBTQ+ representation on mainstream TV was still nascent. It often met with trepidation from advertisers and some audiences.

To NBC’s immense credit, they chose to take a chance on Will & Grace. Their gamble paid off handsomely. The show was rewarded with an incredibly successful eight-season original run. It became a cultural phenomenon and a staple of “Must See TV.” Furthermore, its enduring popularity led to a...

The U.K.’s Stop Trump Coalition, along with many other groups and individual protesters, has promised to disrupt Vice President Jd Vance’s swanky vacation to the Cotswolds, a countryside region in Southwest England.

A representative from the Stop Trump Coalition told The Telegraph, “Jd Vance is every bit as unwelcome in the UK as Donald Trump… We remember how Vance cut short his ski trip in Vermont because he was so enraged by the sight of a few protestors. We are sure that, even in the Cotswolds, he will find the resistance waiting.”

The Cotswolds is known to be a luxury area, nicknamed “The Hamptons of England.” Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia De Rossi, moved to the area to escape Donald Trump’s second term. Other famous frequenters include King Charles, Beyoncé, Hugh Grant and David Beckham.

Protestors who have vowed to make an appearance include anti-Trump, pro-Palestinian,...

Ellen DeGeneres is making some new career moves three years after the end of her eponymous talk show. Deadline reported on Thursday, July 24, that DeGeneres has signed with WME to represent her in all aspects of her career, except for comedy tours. The update comes after her longtime manager, Eddy Yablans, moved from CAA to become a partner at Lbi Entertainment in December 2024. Yablans will continue to represent DeGeneres for Lbi Entertainment and Yorn, Levine, Barnes. The TV personality’s new representation seemingly hints at a Hollywood comeback, especially after she shared that she misses hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show “a lot” during a Sunday, July 20, interview with Richard Bacon. During the event, held at the Everyman Theatre in the English town of Cheltenham, she also admitted that she’s unsure if the show’s format would work in the U.K. “I mean, I wish it did, because I...

Exclusive: Ellen DeGeneres has signed with WME for representation in all areas outside of touring. The Emmy-winning actor, comedian and talk show host had been in play since her long-time agent, Eddy Yablans, left CAA in December to join Lbi Entertainment as a partner. He continues to represent her as a manager.

DeGeneres’ signing with WME comes on the heels of her signaling a showbiz return. The comedian, who had kept a relatively low profile since moving with wife Portia de Rossi to England in November, did an interview with English broadcaster Richard Bacon over the weekend.

In it, she said that she misses “a lot” about her daytime talk show and that she “would love to do that again” in the UK had the business model for such shows been still viable, per the BBC. She noted that she will choose “very carefully” the third act in her career...

In recent weeks, social media has become a breeding ground for wild and unfounded rumors involving rapper Yung Miami, music mogul Sean Combs aka Diddy, and artist Saucy Santana.

A messy live stream by Santana’s ex-boyfriend, known only as “D,” went live on social media to accuse the rapper of hiding an HIV-positive status, even alleging poor hygiene and a questionable s-xual history. But things didn’t stop there.

As speculation grew, some online users began linking Yung Miami to the narrative not only as a potential “connector” between Diddy and Santana but also as someone allegedly dealing with HIV herself.

Things escalated when fans dug up an old Saucy Santana lyric referencing “Diddy World,” and began speculating that Yung Miami, known for her past relationship with Diddy, may have introduced Santana to him. Some even pushed the baseless claim that Yung Miami herself is HIV-positive due to her...

According to BBC, Ellen says she would “love” to host a British talk show.

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed her decision to leave the U.S. was due to the re-election of Donald Trump.

DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, bought a house in the Cotswolds, England, in 2024.

At the Everyman Theater in the town of Cheltenham in southern England on Sunday, DeGeneres told the audience she and her wife had initially bought a “part-time house” in the United Kingdom.

However, she explained, “We got here the day before the election and woke up to a lot of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘[Trump] got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’ I wish we were at a place where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences.”

DeGeneres emphasized her appreciation for the English countryside,...

Ellen DeGeneres confirmed that she and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to the U.K. because of Donald Trump. During an event the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, England, on Sunday, DeGeneres told broadcaster Richard Bacon that Trump’s election in November spurred their permanent relocation to the Cotswolds.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,'” DeGeneres recalled, according to the BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.

When Ellen DeGeneres publicly declared “Yep, I’m gay” on the cover of Time Magazine in 1997, it was a watershed moment that reverberated far beyond her own life. That same year, her character Ellen Morgan came out on her sitcom Ellen, making television history as the first lead character in a sitcom to be openly gay.

Oprah Winfrey, a close friend and frequent collaborator, guest-starred as DeGeneres’s therapist in the landmark two-part episode known as The Puppy Episode. But the fallout was far more brutal than either woman anticipated.

Winfrey recalled that the backlash was savage, so fierce it overwhelmed her show’s switchboard with nearly a thousand hate calls, including racist and vitriolic slurs. She recalled (via THR):

There was a lot of, ‘Go back to Africas’. A lot of N-words, vitriolic stuff.

Winfrey admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show two decades later, stating (via USA Today...

Ellen DeGeneres did not leave the USA for the UK because of her alleged connection to Diddy. She revealed that while her decision to move to the UK was taken before Donald Trump‘s win in the Presidential election, it became a permanent plan because of Trump. She made the revelation to broadcaster Richard Bacon during her first public appearance in the UK (via BBC).

Interestingly, DeGeneres and Trump were friends at one point. Trump was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2004, where he talked in detail about his NBC show The Apprentice. It appeared that DeGeneres was a fan of the show and discussed some of the particular things happening in the show at that point. She even shared, “I love the show, especially this season. It’s really good.”

It wasn’t Trump’s first appearance on the show, and he made a comment sharing that...

Ellen DeGeneres spoke out about moving to the UK in a new public appearance in England!

The 67-year-old comedian and former talk show host and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to the Cotswolds region in the country late last year.

During a conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon at the Everyman Theatre on Sunday (July 20), Ellen confirmed that Donald Trump‘s re-election wa a main contributing factor to her staying in England.

Ellen noted that she and Portia had initially only planned to spend a few months a year in the UK and bought a “part-time house,” but decided to stay after the election results.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” she said, via BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.

Ellen DeGeneres says she and wife Portia de Rossi moved to the United Kingdom because of President Trump.

The comedian and former talk show host shared the news during a live conversation in Cheltenham, England, on Sunday, with British broadcaster Richard Bacon, who asked her if reports that she’d moved to the U.K. because of Trump were true. “Yes,” she said, noting that the decision to permanently relocate there was made the day after Trump was re-elected to a second term in November, according to the BBC.

After DeGeneres’ talk show ended in 2022, she embarked on her final tour, titled Ellen’s Last Stand … Up, which ended in August. Then, the couple purchased what DeGeneres said they thought was going to be “a part-time house” — a place to stay a few months out of the year. However, that changed when Trump was voted back into office, she said.

Ellen DeGeneres confirmed she and her wife, former actress Portia de Rossi, decided to permanently relocate to the UK following the re-election of president Donald Trump.

While in conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon at Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre before kicking off her British tour, the former talk show host said she and de Rossi were initially looking to settle in the country part-time, per BBC.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,'” she explained.

DeGeneres continued of the decision, “It’s clean. Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”

Of particular concern was the status of LGBTQ+ rights and same-sex marriage in the U.S., DeGeneres stated, citing Southern...

Ellen DeGeneres says she decided to make the U.K. her permanent home because of Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. President.

Making her first public appearance since leaving the U.S. last year, the chat show host revealed that she decided to settle in the U.K. with her wife Portia de Rossi the day after Trump won his second term in office in November 2024.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” she said in an on-stage conversation with U.K. host Ricard Bacon, according to the BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.'”

But DeGeneres was full of praise for her new home, asserting that life “is just better” in the U.K. compared to the U.S.

“It’s absolutely beautiful,” she said.

Sean Combs’ aka Diddy’s future remains uncertain, but the possibility of his release in 2025 is no longer far-fetched. Following his conviction on two counts related to the Mann Act, transporting a prostitute across state lines, Diddy faces up to four years in prison. However, legal experts now believe he may serve closer to 15 to 21 months, especially given his proactive rehabilitation efforts.

Diddy’s participation in two federal prison programs, one addressing substance abuse and the other focused on domestic violence, demonstrates what former prosecutor Neama Rahmani called “Lawyering 101.”

By voluntarily enrolling in the Stop Program (targeting s-xual assault and violent behavior) and the Dr. Harry K. Wexler substance abuse program, Diddy is signaling to the court that he is taking personal accountability for his actions. These rehabilitative steps may help Judge Arun Subramanian, who previously denied his bail, view him as a lower risk.

Moreover, Diddy was acquitted of...

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres spoke up to support comedian Rosie O’Donnell following President Donald Trump’s threat to revoke her U.S. citizenship.

O’Donnell has long been a vocal critic of Trump and moved to Ireland to escape his second term. On Saturday, Trump posted to TruthSocial, declaring O’Donnell to be a “threat to humanity,” claiming that he was giving “serious consideration to taking away her citizenship.”

O’Donnell fired back on Instagram with a vicious poem mourning the state of the country and branding Trump “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.”

DeGeneres, who also moved out of the country in response to the new president, showed her support for O’Donnell on Instagram with screenshots of Trump and O’Donnell’s exchange, captioning the post, “good for you @rosie.”

Legal experts say Trump has no constitutional authority to revoke an individual’s citizenship.

On Saturday, Trump, 79, wrote via Truth Social, “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.

I don’t have strong opinions on Ellen DeGeneres — she was a fine comic, a subpar daytime host, probably a bully and one of the only Hollywood people to actually lose a job because of cancel culture. Really, she was great as Dory in Finding Nemo.

But as inconsequential as Ellen’s current whereabouts are to my life, the theory of how she got here is incredibly important. You see, it all starts with 9/11. Yes, that 9/11. The one in 2001, the one which permanently changed the trajectory of American public life, the definition of freedom, warmongering, human rights, airport security, and according to one beloved theory, Ellen DeGeneres’ career.

The Domino Effect theory on this issue — Ellen’s career, not 9/11, we don’t have time for that, we don’t have the maps for that — spans multiple decades, families and major motion picture blockbuster franchises. Circulating in the annals of the internet for years,...

Comedian Margaret Cho has joined the long list of celebrities who have called out former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for unkind and offensive behavior on and off screen.

In a new episode of The Kelly Mantle Show, Cho recalled that even though she and DeGeneres had known each other in the 1980s while they were both trying to make it in the comedy scene. When Cho appeared on The Ellen Show, DeGeneres pretended as though they had never met.

“Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,” she recalled. “I opened for her in the 1980s when she was a headliner in comedy clubs. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she would act like we just met…and I’m like, ‘B—-, what?’ That’s weird. We go way back. It’s so creepy and weird.”

Cho...

Add Margaret Cho to the long list of entertainers who accuse Ellen DeGeneres of not living up to her reputation as the Queen of Nice, but let’s face it — that crown was dented, tarnished and kicked to the curb a long time ago.

Cho dished the dirt last week on The Kelly Mantle Show. Amidst sharing stories about old pals Joan Rivers and Quentin Tarantino, the conversation turned to the disgraced comic. “Ellen is so…” Cho began.

“Complicated?” asked Mantle.

“Somebody that I’ve known for such a long time. It’s so weird now,” Cho continued. “Public perception of her is more true. She’s mean. She was a mean girl.”

Why did DeGeneres have it out for Cho in particular? She couldn’t know for sure, but “I think she always had kind of negative feelings toward me because her girlfriends and wives always liked me.”

Whatever the reasons,...

Margaret Cho is speaking out about her experience with Ellen DeGeneres, claiming that her fellow comedian and talk show host has been “really weird” and “not nice” to her over the course of their careers.

In an interview on “The Kelly Mantle Show,” Cho said DeGeneres is “somebody that I’ve known for such a long time” and “the public perception of her is more true” now. DeGeneres experienced a fall from grace back in 2020 after toxic workplace allegations emerged about “The Ellen Show,” culminating in its end in 2022 and DeGeneres’ retirement. Cho said she’s known DeGeneres since they were both starting out in the stand-up comedy scene in the ’80s.

“She’s mean,” Cho said. “She was like, a mean girl. But also she would be real nice. I think she always had kind of negative feelings towards me because her girlfriends and wives always liked me.”

She continued,...

Margaret Cho described her strained relationship with Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on a new episode of The Kelly Mantle Show. The comedian said DeGeneres always treated her like a stranger when she came on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, despite the fact that they had been around each other for years.

“Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,” Cho said on the show. “I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs. Later, when I would do...

For the longest time, Ellen DeGeneres was known to be the lovable talk show host who believed in her “be kind” mantra. Even on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she came across as someone you would want to be friends with. However, she found herself in the middle of a career-ending controversy when she was accused of creating a toxic work environment.

Ex and then-current staff members spoke against Ellen DeGeneres, and many celebrities weighed in on the matter, too. While her defendants are more in number in Tinseltown, there are a few who aren’t on her side, including comedian Margaret Cho, who recently opened up about her experience with the host. Let’s take a look at her words, and then what others have had to say about Ellen DeGeneres.

Margaret Cho is accusing Ellen DeGeneres of being “not nice” to her for most of her career, despite both of them working in comedy in their early days.

The actress and comedian made a recent appearance on The Kelly Mantle Show, where she claimed that DeGeneres would act like they had just met whenever she was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,” Cho said. “I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs, way before her big fame. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she acted like we just met.”

“And I’m like, ‘Bitch, what?’ That’s weird. We go way back. It’s so creepy and weird,” the Grammy and Emmy nominee joked.

Margaret Cho has had many run-ins with Ellen DeGeneres — more than DeGeneres claims to remember, apparently. In a recent interview, Cho claimed DeGeneres had been “not nice” to her and acted like they didn’t have history. “Ellen was, like, really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,” Cho said on a new episode of The Kelly Mantle Show. “I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs, [and] later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she acted like we just met. And I’m like, ‘B****, what?’ Like, that’s weird. We go way back. … It’s so creepy and weird.” Cho also recalled hearing that David Bowie spent part of an Ellen DeGeneres Show interview praising the “giant Chinese emperor outfit” Cho had worn to his concert the night before — and that DeGeneres left those...

Margaret Cho isn’t holding back with her thoughts on Ellen DeGeneres.

The 56-year-old comedian appeared on the Wednesday (June 18) episode of The Kelly Mantle Show. During her appearance, Margaret talked about her relationship with Ellen during the early days of their careers as comedians.

“Ellen was really weird and not nice to me for most of my career,” Margaret said during the episode.

She went on to share that the two of them met as new comedians in the 1980s but claimed that Ellen behaved strangely when they worked together after her career took off.

“I opened for her in the 1980s, when she was a headliner in comedy clubs. Later, when I would do her talk show in the 2000s, she would act like we just met,” she revealed during the episode.

Watch the full episode below and see who else recalled an awkward encounter with Ellen.

Before landing his signature role as Bobby Bacala on The Sopranos, Steve Schirripa got his first taste of showbiz as the entertainment director of The Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. That’s where he started rubbing elbows with comics like Drew Carey and Kevin Pollack, as well as other famous comedians who passed through his venue.

On a recent episode of the We Might Be Drunk podcast, Schirripa told Sam Morril and Mark Normand about some of his brushes with comedy greats. He ran through a list of his favorite comics from the Vegas days, names like Damon Wayans, Nick Di Paolo and Dave Attell. But one comedian in particular rubbed Schirripa the wrong way. “I don’t like Ellen DeGeneres,” he explained. “She was an asshole then. She got proven to be an asshole, but she was an asshole way back when.”

Michael Douglas has the history of marriage and divorce that you might expect from an A-list actor with a lengthy career.

Whether fans know him for his classic work decades ago or for his role as the cantankerous Hank Pym in the MCU, Michael Douglas is a Hollywood legend.

But the topic of his marital status has come into question more than once — and with good reason.

Hollywood marriages are complex subjects. But here’s his history, and where things stand today.

Michael Douglas visits SiriusXM at SiriusXM Studios on April 16, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Who was Michael Douglas’ first marriage and divorce?

As we mentioned, Michael Douglas has been a prominent actor since before many of his fans were alive. As such, his relationship history goes back nearly as far.

In 1971, Michael Douglas began dating fellow actor Brenda Vaccaro, following the filming of Summertree.

Sean “Diddy’ Combs’ trial continues in court as he sits there watching one witness testify after the other. The most recent person to take the stand with her gut-wrenching story is one of his ex-girlfriends, identified only by the pseudonym “Jane.” Jane and Diddy are said to have dated from 2021 to 2024, right until his arrest in September.

During her second day of testimony, Jane got into the details of everything she endured while being in a romantic relationship with Diddy. As it turns out, Cassie Ventura wasn’t the only one going through this alleged hell.

As Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ ex-girlfriend, Jane is one of the four alleged victims involved in the case. While she chose to remain anonymous for the sake of her privacy and safety, the Internet sleuths may have discovered her real identity in mere minutes.

For anyone who’s been paying even a little attention to pop culture lately, Sean “P Diddy” Combs has become impossible to ignore, though not for the reasons he once was. The music mogul, once known for flashy parties and a powerful presence in the entertainment world, is now caught in a storm of very serious accusations. From s*x trafficking to racketeering, the charges have shaken Hollywood, and as details keep spilling out, familiar names from the industry are getting pulled into the spotlight.

One of those names is Ellen DeGeneres. Over the years, she and P Diddy seemed to have developed a friendly on-screen rapport. He appeared several times on her talk show, and their interactions were always cheerful and public. But with Diddy now under criminal investigation, people are taking another look at that connection. The decades-long friendship might have once seemed harmless or even humorous, but in light of recent events,...

P Diddy’s trial has taken a more harrowing turn after his ex-assistant testified about the harsh working conditions she endured during her employment with the rapper. The trial has revealed extremely troubling details, with his ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, providing a raw look at his alleged ‘Freak Offs’.

Ventura revealed in her testimony that Diddy would coerce her into participating in multiple dr*g-fueled ‘Freak Offs’. She also mentioned that after these parties, which lasted for days, she would need IV treatments to recover.

5 Queer Celebrity Couples Who Define Relationship Goals ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In an industry often defined by fleeting headlines and fast-paced lives, there are a few queer celebrity couples whose enduring love stories remind us what it means to build a true partnership. These power duos have weathered fame, social scrutiny, and time, all while lifting each other. Whether it’s co-parenting with style or cheering each other on from the red carpet, these couples show us that queer love is not just valid; rather, it’s aspirational. So here are five queer celebrity couples who continue to be total relationship goals.

1. Elton John and David Furnish

Sir Elton John, the iconic singer behind timeless hits like Your Song and Rocket Man, met Canadian filmmaker David Furnish at a dinner party in 1993. It was love at first sight for Elton, and clearly, the feeling was mutual. The very next day, they had their first date,...

When Friends debuted on NBC in 1994, ABC decided to change the name of its returning Ellen DeGeneres-led sitcom These Friends of Mine to simply Ellen. When Roseanne Barr went on a racist Twitter tirade in 2018, her newly rebooted show Roseanne killed off her character and became The Conners. For both shows, the name-change likely spared them from a swift and premature death.

While rare, sitcoms occasionally change their titles, and when they do, it’s usually an attempt to save the show from a looming cancellation. And yes, sometimes it works. But not always. The unfortunate losers in the name-changing game are below.

1 ‘The Norm Show’ aka ‘Norm’

Norm Macdonald’s short-lived sitcom was built around a wildly half-baked idea: Macdonald is an ex-hockey player working as a social worker for community service. Despite the fact that that’s not remotely how the law works anywhere on Earth, the...

Over 40 years after its release, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" remains one of the funniest stoner comedies ever made. Helmed by first-time director Amy Heckering (over a decade before she would direct "Clueless") from a screenplay by then-newcomer Cameron Crowe (before his work on "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire"), the 1982 film followed a group of slacker kids as they navigate the socially volatile waters of sophomore year at Ridgemont High School.

"Fast Times" famously boasts an ensemble cast that includes several actors who would go on to become massive stars, some in tiny roles you may not remember. We took a look back at the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" cast to see where their careers took them after they graduated from sneaky hooks up and joints to Academy Award-winning roles in major feature films.

Here's what happened to the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" cast.

About eight hours by direct flight from the seen-and-be-seen restaurants and red carpets of Hollywood is a resort on a remote speck of a private island. It was there that Barack Obama wrote his post-White House memoirs, where Kim Kardashian threw her controversial pandemic-era 40th birthday bash (to the tune of $1 million) and where Britney Spears enjoyed the calm before the storm ahead of releasing her memoir.

The locale? The Brando, about 30 miles north of Tahiti on the 12-island atoll of Tetiaroa, which Marlon Brando bought after he fell in love with the region while filming 1962’s Mutiny on the Bounty. Now over a decade old, the resort has a storied history filled with star turns. Villas start at $4,000; more booking and price options at Hotels.com and Expedia.com.

Long a sanctuary for locals, Tetiora was the private vacation home for Brando’s family.

One cinematic medium that has continued far-reaching appeal spanning age groups and cultures is animated movies. Animation consistently performs well worldwide, often buoyed by its family-friendly sense of humor, universal messaging, and visually impressive art design. In addition to being a hit with critics, animated films regularly find themselves as the highest-earning movies of a given year, particularly when produced and marketed by larger studios. This has led to lucrative box office runs, sometimes breaking records set by their live-action counterparts.

Many of the highest-grossing films of all time are animated, and many of these major earners were released within the past decade, at least in nominal earnings. With that in mind, we've assembled over a dozen of the highest-earning animated films to date. To clarify, this list includes earners without adjusting for inflation and drawing from cumulative global box office grosses.

Here are the 15 highest-grossing animated movies of all time,...

James Gunn’s Superman trailer is off to a soaring start — and it's already leaving the competition in the dust.

Superman has garnered 19,737,712 views over the past 2 days while Fantastic Four: First Steps has achieved 19,451,669 views in 29 days. A whole 300,000 views less. Which is crazy since many on here thought Fantastic Four would be acquire more views and popularity than the reboot of Superman. Unfortunately, for them, it doesn't look like it's the case.

[You Don't Need To Read This Part. It's Just Added To Fit The Minimum Of Four Hundred Words]

Superman, from James Gunn, will release just 2 weeks before Fantastic Four from a director I can't remember the name of. Perhaps I do remember the name but I don't want to say it, I just want to post extra words because this article need 400 words. Why?.I'm not sure. So yeah, Superman is closing in on 20 million views (most likely will hit that number by the time I find enough things to write about) and Fantastic Four halters at 19.45 million.

Chuck Lorre’s brand of humor can prove to be iffy on occasions, as throughout his tenure in the sitcoms, the showrunner has often dealt with lowbrow humor accessible to almost everyone. While the writer did tone down things in The Big Bang Theory in comparison to Charlie Sheen’s Two and a Half Men, the former still has its fair share of issues.

Although not as egregious as Two and a Half Men with its questionable jokes that haven’t translated well into the modern age, certain moments from Tbbt certainly haven’t aged well, including the fatphobia around Mrs. Wolowitz.

Voiced by Carol Ann Susi, the mystery surrounding Mrs. Wolowitz was one of the longest-running gags in the entire sitcom, which was eventually written out of the show in the wake of Susi’s death in 2014. Surprisingly,...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama famously wanted to get America’s kids in shape, but the “Let’s Move!” campaign wasn’t an open invitation for every daytime TV star to put her through an undignified physical challenge like she’s some lowly, abused production assistant.

During Mrs. Obama’s time living in the White House, Ellen DeGeneres was, by far, the most powerful and influential cultural figure to fill the 3 p.m. time slot. And although the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show was secretly running her institutional series like it was a third-world dictatorship, throughout the Obama administration, the arbiters of our democratic society all flocked to pay homage to the great Ellen any time they needed to spread an important and uplifting message to the masses of stay-at-home parents and kids just getting out of middle school.

Given Ellen’s cultural cachet at the time, Obama likely...
