Not a lot of earth-shattering moments at last night’s Emmy Awards, but at least there were a handful of good jokes. In between Shogun and Hacks taking home the night’s major awards, here were the evening’s nine best punchlines and funniest moments…

1 Hopefully, the Last ‘The Bear’ Isn’t a Comedy’ Joke

Eugene Levy: “The Bear is nominated for 23 Emmys tonight, making it the most-nominated comedy in history. Now, I love the show, and I know some of you will be expecting us to make a joke about whether The Bear is really a comedy — but in the true spirit of The Bear, we will not be making any jokes.”

2 Shoutout to ‘Hot Ones’

Dan Levy: “The creators of Shogun actually had their scripts translated into Japanese, rewritten and then translated back into English subtitles that you missed because you were also on your phone...

Eugene and Dan Levy hosted the 76th Emmy Awards — or as Dan called it, “Broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services.” It was the year’s second Emmys show, since the 2023 ceremony got delayed by the strike until this past January. The father-son duo kept it light and affable and Canadian all night, reprising their Schitt’s Creek chemistry. The January ceremony went for low-key nostalgic charm; this was a rerun that turned into your basic blah-bath. Pretty standard for the Emmys, always the least glam,...

It all went down at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Lots of wins, even more losses and many moments we just had to rate as either best or worst — from John Leguizamo’s impactful message about diversity and inclusion to Candice Bergen scratching at Donald Trump’s vice president pick Jd Vance.

Netflix’s thrilling drama miniseries “Baby Reindeer” took home four Emmys, alongside FX’s “The Bear” and “Shōgun,” while “Hacks” proved that comedic moments are needed to win Outstanding Comedy Series. Plus, Jodie Foster won her very first Emmy for her role in Season 4 of “True Detective: Night Country.”

The evening was hosted by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, who both have taken home Emmys for their work on “Schitt’s Creek.” Here are the best and absolute worst moments from the night.

“Last Week Tonight” once again won the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category at the Emmys on Sunday night, but host John Oliver’s acceptance speech quickly derailed — thanks to his dead dog.

Of course, things got rocky even before the pup came into play. In taking the stage to accept the award, the HBO host immediately thanked his family, but he also got his oldest son’s name wrong.

“I’d like to thank my wife Kate and kids, husband,” Oliver said, laughing at himself immediately. “Husband. His name is Hudson. Ouch. Ouch. That’s gonna come back to haunt me.”

The comedian then joked that he should’ve gotten his second son’s name wrong too in order “to even it out,” but managed to get it right. Things only got more chaotic from there, though.

“I also want to thank — this is gonna be very silly — our dog.

Dead pets made headlines this week thanks to former President Donald Trump’s bogus claim that Haitian immigrants were “eating the dogs” in Springfield, Ohio. At the Emmys on Sunday, John Oliver provided the perfect counter-programming as he eulogized his dog while accepting the trophy for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series for Last Week Tonight.

“We had the most fantastic dog. She was at my wedding. She got us through a pandemic. She was with us through two pregnancies,” Oliver started before the infamous play-off music tried to shoo him off stage.

The third annual Women’s Rock Fantasy Camp has been set for December 5th through the 8th in Los Angeles.

The camp is open to “women only,” and attendees will join a band mentored by a rockstar counselor, performing songs related to the following headliners: Lita Ford, Sheila E. (of Prince fame), Nancy Wilson of Heart, Nita Strauss, and Rhonda Smith (Jeff Beck).

Depending on the band, campers will jam and learn iconic songs such as Heart’s “Crazy on You” (Nancy Wilson), The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” (Lita Ford), Prince’s “Purple Rain” (Sheila E.), and Alice Cooper’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy” (Nita Strauss), among many more.

The weekend will culminate with campers performing live onstage alongside their respective headliner at The Viper Room on the Sunset Strip. So you’ll be joined by Nita Strauss if your band was learning Alice Cooper songs in the days prior,...

Paquin Entertainment Group, the producer and talent agency repping the likes of Michael Bublé and Bryan Adams, has hired an ex-Cineflix exec as its first Chief Operating Officer.

Andrew Akman took on the newly-created role last week and will help produce film and TV, exhibitions and large-scale events. Paquin said it is “currently in development on several talent-driven projects for broadcasters, streaming platforms, and live audiences.”

Autism Speaks, the largest autism advocacy group dedicated to creating an inclusive world for all individuals with autism spectrum disorder throughout their lifespan, is hosting its reimagined Los Angeles Gala at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

The inspired event invites guests to “Journey Back to Old Havana for an Evening at the Copacabana,” invoking the romance and intrigue of a bygone era.

This year, Autism Speaks is honoring advocate Tallulah Willis, who has joined Autism Speaks in fostering understanding and inclusivity for the autism community since receiving her autism diagnosis earlier this year at age 30. Tullulah Willis is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.

An entrepreneur and artist based in Los Angeles, Willis has been open about her mental health struggles and uses her platform to advocate for awareness and self-care in the hopes that her journey will serve as inspiration for those facing their own challenges.

Feist stopped by NPR’s office in Washington D.C. to make her Tiny Desk Concert debut this week.

The singer and songwriter arrived in support of her 2023 album, Multitudes, and she opened the performance with a rendition of “In Lightning,” the record’s opening track. She then hearkened back to her 2011 Metals for “Caught a Long Wind” before playing “Hiding Out in the Open,” which Feist says is her attempt to encapsulate “300-and-whatever days of lockdown.” She returned to Metals for the set’s closing song, “The Bad in Each Other.” Watch the official video of the performance below.

Unlike last month’s heartfelt performance of “Love Who We Are Meant To” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where Feist performed solo with an acoustic guitar and her hand-written lyrics behind her, she arrived in company for her Tiny Desk show — her four-piece band, comprised of established songwriters and independent musicians,...

Tallulah Willis, the daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has announced that she will host the Autism Speaks Los Angeles Gala this year.

This announcement comes after Willis revealed her own autism diagnosis last year, which she says has significantly impacted her life.

In a statement, Willis expressed her desire to use her platform to raise awareness and understanding about autism spectrum disorder (Asd), particularly for women who are more commonly misdiagnosed. Asd is characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. While signs usually present around the ages of 2 and 3, they can sometimes be missed due to the spectrum nature of the condition.

The Autism Speaks Los Angeles Gala, which will be held on October 24 at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, will honor Willis for her advocacy for autism awareness. Past honorees have included prominent figures such as Dave Grohl, J.K. Simmons, Sarah McLachlan and Naomi Campbell.

Sarah McLachlan’s late ’90s all-female touring festival Lilith Fair is the subject of a new feature-length documentary.

Coming from the CBC, the authorized film is inspired by the 2019 Vanity Fair article Building a Mystery: An Oral History of Lilith Fair, written by Jessica Hopper with former Consequence editor Sasha Geffen and Jenn Pelly. Simply titled Lilith Fair, it’s directed by Ally Pankiw and pulls from more than 600 hours of archival footage, interviews, and stories from fans, festival organizers, and artists who played Lilith Fair.

Some of the artist interviews included in the documentary include sitdowns with McLachlan herself, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Natalie Merchant, Mýa, Jewel, the Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, and Olivia Rodrigo. The latter will presumably be talking about the festival’s influence since she wasn’t even born yet when Lilith Fair was founded.

Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan’s 1990s all-female music festival Lilith Fair is the subject of a feature documentary from the CBC and director Ally Pankiw.

The first Lilith Fair, which McLachlan spearheaded to defy a male-dominated music industry that couldn’t envision more than one woman performing on a concert stage or on a radio playlist, kicked off on July 5, 1997.

Over a quarter-century later, Dan Levy’s Not a Real Production Company and Elevation Pictures are co-producing Lilith Fair, with interviews by McLachlan, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Natalie Merchant, Mýa, Jewel, Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, Brandi Carlile and Olivia Rodrigo.

The original ladies-first Lilith Fair tour from 1997 to 1999 attracted artists like Crow, Tracy Chapman, Fiona Apple and Liz Phair from across the music world, and went on to help launch the careers of performers like Missy Elliott, The Chicks, Nelly Furtado and Christina Aguilera.

Happy anniversary to Brian Dietzen and his wife, Kelly Dietzen.

The couple celebrated another year together, and Brian posted a loving note to his wife on Instagram.

Brian plays Dr. Jimmy Palmer on the NCIS cast – a role he has had for many years.

On the show, his character is part of a cliffhanger that will be addressed during the NCIS Season 22 premiere.

We expect new episodes to begin arriving in September 2024.

While there are questions about Jimmy’s relationship with Agent Jessica Knight (played by Katrina Law), there are no questions about Brian’s relationship with Kelly.

Feist stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform “Love Who We Are Meant To,” a cut from her 2023 album Multitudes.

With just an acoustic guitar, Feist provides a gorgeous, spellbinding rendition of the song. As she plays, a booklet with the song’s lyrics scribbled in appears behind her on the screen, turning pages as Feist moves from verse to verse and connecting the audience to the song’s pure, homespun form. Watch the intimate performance below.

“Love Who We Are Meant To” arrived as Multitudes’ third single, released alongside “Hiding Out in the Open” and “In Lightning” when Feist announced the album last March. Multitudes was Feist’s first album since 2017’s Pleasure, and she supported the album with a brief North American tour in February and March of this year.

Meanwhile Feist is currently back on the road supporting Sarah McLachlan on her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy 30th anniversary tour,...

My first concert ever was Sarah McLachlan at Radio City Music Hall in 1995. The Canadian singer-songwriter was on tour in support of her U.S. breakthrough, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and had enlisted a then-unknown artist, Paula Cole, as the opening act despite protests from tour promoters, who claimed nobody would pay to see two women.

Of course, they were mistaken, and a few years later, McLachlan helped reimagine the touring music festival with the all-female Lilith Fair. She continues her mission to share the spotlight with other female artists on her latest trek, in celebration of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy’s 30th anniversary, with fellow Canadian Leslie Feist warming up the audience at the Hollywood Bowl last night as the marine layer rolled in and the temperature dropped.

After opening with a mini-set of popular hits and fan favorites from subsequent releases, McLachlan launched into a track-by-track performance of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.

This summer, Sarah McLachlan will celebrate the 30th anniversary of her album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, by embarking on a North American tour (get tickets here). As a preview, the Canadian singer-songwriter stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform the album track “Possession.” Watch the relay below.

McLachlan’s tour begins in Seattle on May 25th, and takes her to cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York City, and more. Along the way, she’ll enjoy support from Feist and Allison Russell on select dates.

All this comes as McLachlan is reportedly working on new music. Last month, she revealed that she was making a new album with producer Tony Berg.

This article contains spoilers for all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the show titled after her are both cultural icons. Buffy is one of those series that most sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fans have some kind of awareness of even if they have never watched an episode. It kick-started the careers of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers, Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg, and David Boreanaz as Angel.

The series was also stuffed to the brim with memorable moments, from the hilarious (Buffy trying to mime staking a vampire in “Hush”), to the kick-ass (Buffy taking out the Judge with a rocket launcher in “Innocence”), to the gut-wrenching (Buffy finding Joyce in “The Body”). But there is one moment that stands out above all the others and embodies what the show is about.

It is the making of the character of Buffy, it is a mission statement for the show,...

Before “Rain on Me” by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande and “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat and Sza became Grammy-winning female collabs, there was a combo of women that managed to snag a big win in the pop field: Christina Aguilera’s “Lady Marmalade” featuring Pink, Lil Kim, and Mýa. The star-studded collaboration, a cover of the number-one hit made famous by the group Labelle, solidified all four artists as pop mainstays, and made history at the Grammys as a diverse, all-female win.

The 2001 “Lady Marmalade” was released in April of that year as part of the soundtrack for “Moulin Rouge,” the Oscar-winning Baz Luhrmann film. The track was quite unusual, on paper. Pink, Lil Kim, Mýa, and Aguilera made very different music, ranging from pop to hip-hop to R&b. On top of that, the track was produced by the iconic Missy Elliott, giving it yet more star cred.

Sinéad O’Connor had plans for new music before her death. On Thursday, a day after the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer died at age 56, her 67 Management team revealed that she was working on a new album, reviewing tour dates, and considering a biopic.

“As tribute to those who were part of Sinead’s team over our tenure, it has to be mentioned that Sinead was completing her new album, reviewing new tour dates for 2024, and considering opportunities in relation to a movie of her book,” the management company wrote on their website.

London authorities have ruled that Sinéad O’Connor’s death on Wednesday is “not being treated as suspicious.”

On Thursday, a Scotland Yard spokesperson confirmed to the BBC that authorities found the singer “unresponsive” and “pronounced [her] dead at the scene” at 11:18 BST. Police have still not offered a cause of death but said they would not be opening an inquest. “A file will be prepared for the coroner,” they said.

London’s Inner South Coroner’s Court will conduct an autopsy, but it will take many weeks to determine the results.

On Wednesday night, following the day’s announcement that Sinead O’Connor died at the age of 56, P!nk paid tribute to the Irish singer and songwriter during her Summer Carnival tour.

The show was her first U.S. date and while usually heavily choreographed, the artist paused the show to bring Brandi Carlile onstage to perform “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Originally written by by Prince for his side project the Family and featured on their self-titled 1985 debut album, O’Connor shot to fame with her rendition of the song in 1990.

Sinéad O’Connor, the fiery Irish singer-songwriter whose striking voice briefly made her an unlikely pop superstar while her bold public stances on child abuse, war, and organized religion made her a controversial figure, has died at the age of 56.

O’Connor’s family confirmed the singer’s death in a statement to Irish news network Rte. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.” No cause of death was provided.

It’s a hot summer day, the car AC is on turbo and the radio is blasting Miguel’s “Sure Thing.” My 8-year-old nephew is singing along happily — until I tell him the song is older than he is.

“Sure Thing” was released in 2010 and was named Billboard’s No. 1 R&b/hip-hop song of 2011. But TikTok resurrected the melodic track this year, and the platform thrust it to higher heights on the pop charts, as streaming platforms added it to current playlists and radio stations began replaying the song 13 years after its release.

Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” was released in 2019, but the addictive bop became a favorite on her ultra-popular Eras Tour, and now it’s in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Sia, thanks to TikTok, relaunched a platinum hit with “Unstoppable” late last year, though it was released...

Paramount Pictures has dropped the first teaser trailer for “Bob Marley: One Love,” its upcoming biopic about the Jamaican singer and songwriter that’s expected to be released in 2024.

The trailer starts as a celebration of Marley and his legacy, as portrayed by “Peaky Blinders” and “The Oa” star Kingsley Ben-Adir. It jumps between Marley playing to concert after concert of adoring fans as the legendary artist’s music plays in the background. As the trailer continues it takes on a darker tone as it delves into Jamaica’s civil war during the 1970s.

It all comes to a head right before the One Love Peace Concert. As someone off screen asks Marley why he’s going to return to Jamaica after there was an assassination attempt on him and his wife, Ben-Adir as Marley calmly replies, “My life is not important to me. My life is for people.”

The 79-year-old singer-songwriter initially made her return to the stage in August 2022 during a surprise appearance at the Newport Folk Festival. She subsequently announced a standalone headlining show as part of Brandi Carlile’s three-night concert event “Echoes Through the Canyon.”

With the assistance of Carlile and a bevy of guest musicians, Mitchell presented a 24-song performance that featured some of her most enduring hits. She kicked off the show with “Big Yellow Taxi” from Ladies of the Canyon. Marcus Mumford accompanied her on “Come in From the Cold,” and Blake Mills sat it on “Amelia.”

Annie Lennox joined Mitchell on “Ladies of the Cannon,” and Sarah McLachlan accompanied her on “Blue.” Other notable performances included “A Case of You” with Mumford and Carlile; “Cactus Tree” with Lucius; “Young At Heart...

If Joni Mitchell’s Joni Jam at the Gorge Amphitheater Saturday were to become a scene in the upcoming Cameron Crowe biopic on the iconic troubadour, Mitchell just taking the stage to a standing ovation eight years after she nearly died of an aneurysm would have been a glorious Hollywood ending.

Mitchell simply being back on stage was already the triumph of the human spirit we all desperately craved as fans of her music and tougher than nails image. At one point during the show, Brandi Carlile, who acted as host/interviewer for the night,...

Gordon Lightfoot, whose lyrics and vocals made him one of the most prominent folk singers of his era, passed away yesterday. He was 84.

Gordon Lightfoot remains best known for his 1976 song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, which chronicled the sinking of the titular freighter that left all 29 crew dead.

But that was hardly Gordon Lightfoot’s only hit. Throughout his career, the singer-songwriter earned four Grammy nominations, including two for “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, losing Song of the Year to the Barry Manilow-penned “I Write the Songs” and Best Pop Vocal...
