Elon Musk, who has not been taking so much ketamine that he can’t pee right, had a meltdown about his former bromance partner Donald Trump on his website, X, this week.

Vice President J.D. Vance, caught up in the petty feud, has naturally taken Trump’s side, including when it comes to allegations about Trump’s ties to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

As he railed against Trump, Musk escalated his attacks: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real...

Easter might be the holiest of days in Christianity, but it certainly does not have the depth of quality films that Christmas brings. Perhaps because Christmas is much more commercialized than Easter, receiving gifts makes the anticipation even better. But the films? There are some great ones.

With Easter, people get a lot of bunnies and crucifixion-related films. Both can be worthy, but they have to be done just right. Things can, unfortunately, go wrong easily.

Thankfully, with the three movies that follow, a lot goes right. Once you're done with Easter egg hunting, you can turn on one of these films that are currently streaming on Netflix. Two are not made for children, though.

Three films to stream on Netflix this EasterPeter Rabbit (2018)

The cast list here is incredible, but none of it works without James Cordon voicing the iconic rabbit spectacularly well. The animation is excellent, too. Not...

Democratic congressional reps ridiculed a Republican-led effort to make the case for defunding American public media at a congressional hearing Wednesday about alleged bias at PBS and NPR.

The hearing by the House of Representative’s Delivering on Government Efficiency (Doge) subcommittee, titled “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable,” started at 10 a.m. Et Wednesday. The hearing featured testimony from and questioning of PBS CEO Paula Kerger and NPR CEO Katherine Maher.

During the hearing, subcommittee member Robert Garcia (D-California) opined that “instead of a serious hearing, we’re here to attack NPR and PBS.”

Garcia then launched into a facetious attack on PBS’s Kerger. Garcia asked Kerger about “Sesame Street” puppet duo Bert and Ernie. “These two guys actually live together. They’re friends. They’re supportive of each other,” he said. “Now that might be triggering to our chairwoman” — referring to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene...

House Republicans celebrated their newfound majority earlier this year by forming a special subcommittee to investigate supposed anti-conservative bias throughout the government. The Weaponization of the Federal Government Committee has largely been a flop, with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) helming a series of hearings that instead of unearthing “deep state” conspiracies have highlighted just how little the GOP is concerned with actual governance.

The committee’s hearing on Thursday, meant to examine whether the Biden administration influence how social media companies handled the Covid-19 pandemic, was no different. Jordan called far-right Sen.

What becomes a legend most? Well, in the case of Marilyn Monroe, it’s countless books, feature films, TV movies, limited series, documentaries and even a Broadway musical. “Blonde,” the latest film about the influential sex symbol, who starred in such films as 1953’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and 1959’s ‘Some Like it Hot” and tragically died at the age of 36 in 1962, has been polarizing critics and audiences since it premiered at the recent Venice Film Festival.

Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ best-selling 2000 novel, “Blonde” offers a fictionalized look at the troubled actress. Currently in theaters and streaming on Netflix, “Blonde” stars Ana de Armas. She has been singled out by critics for her work, but director Andrew Dominik (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”) hasn’t been so lucky. “’Blonde’ has been conceived as a slow-motion death march,” said the L.A. Times Justin Chan.

Keith Poole, deputy editor-in-chief of News Corp.’s UK tabloid The Sun, has been named editor-in-chief of the New York Post Group. He starts in early March in what is a new position as former editor and senior advisor Col Allan retires.

The Post’s editors-in-chief for print and digital, Stephen Lynch and Michelle Gotthelf, respectively, will both report to Poole. The Post Group is comprised of the New York Post, the Post Digital Network, Post Studios and related mobile and tablet apps and social media channels.

“Keith Poole is the ideal professional to lead the expansion of the Post,” said New Corp. CEO Robert Thomson. He said the Post’s “performance before and after the election has been exemplary, and it had a landmark victory over media censorship by Twitter that will resonate for decades. That vital victory also highlighted the increasing importance...

But first, the episode starts off with a look at The Wedding Singer, based on the popular Adam Sandler film. It starred newcomer Stephen Lynch and joining him in the role of Julie, the waitress with a heart of gold, was one Broadway's loveliest leading ladies, Laura Benanti. The musical features a score by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin and a book by Begluin and Tim Herlihy. Rounding out the cast was Kevin Cahoon, Matthew Saldivar, Amy Spanger, Rita Gardner, Felicia Finley and Richard H. Blake. Benanti told Ridge, 'I'm really proud of it. It's nice to play the girl next door. I have never done that. This is really my first brand new Broadway musical. So, I have learned a lot.'...

I hadn’t previously seen any stand-up routine from Flo and Joan, a tandem of musical comedians who sing whimsical and sometimes surprisingly biting comedic songs. The two sarcastic sisters really are easy as hell to watch and enjoy, the whole show flew by without a dull moment, something that can be pretty rare in stand-up for me these days.

The variety of songs discuss so many different things in a way that is catchy and entertaining, and they manage to push through some of their world views along the way, thrusting some judgments of humanity into their vocals that are pretty damn hilarious. Some might find there’s a lot of negativity and cynicism to their set, and there is I guess, but it works well with the random shots of hope and tenderness along the way. They truly manage to add some really sweet lyrics into their songs,...

Actors and actresses may get most of the glory, but it truly does take a village to make a character come alive on screen. Departments including hair, makeup and costumes are crucial to building a backstory or offer Easter eggs to details that may not be deliberately stated in dialogue or viewed in facial expressions, as well as to provide performers crucial assistance in fleshing out a role.

For Keri Russell, nominated for her uptight, country-loyal heroine in FX’s spy drama “The Americans,” finding Elizabeth Jennings was easy because she was “always very finished,” and that said a lot about who she was. Russell credits makeup designer Lori Hicks with helping creating Elizabeth’s “exactness,” especially in such areas as dark, cat-like eyeliner, which acted as her “armor.”

However, in the show’s sixth and final season, the stress of running missions without the aid of her partner Philip...

Quietly playing comedy shows for well over a decade and releasing albums since 2000, Stephen Lynch has built up a cult following with his combination of bold, raunchy humor and capable songwriting. Despite eschewing typical comedy clubs, he's starred in two Comedy Central Presents tours and co-headlined with Mitch Hedberg on the latter's final comedy tour. After taking several years off to perform as the lead in the Broadway production of The Wedding Singer, Lynch put out the album 3 Balloons earlier this year and has returned to touring steadily.
