‘The Great British Baking Show’ Has Redeemed Itself For the Holidays

Melinda Dillon, the two-time Oscar-nominee, and star of the beloved movie A Christmas Story, has died at the age of 83. Her death was announced through an obituary stating that she died on Jan. 9, however no cause of death was provided. Long before she played the role of Mother...

Poker Face is already reinventing itself, just five episodes in. In the most recent episode of Rian Johnson’s Columbo-inspired mystery romp, amateur sleuth Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) encounters likable murderers for the first time on her cross-country journey: two elderly women, former activists, living in a retirement community. In...

It’s probably not a huge surprise to most people that Teen Wolf: The Movie has received a mixed reception at best. A direct sequel to MTV’s TV series, which ran from 2011-2017, the Paramount+ film was probably doomed from the moment that Dylan O’Brien opted not to return as Stiles, arguably the show’s most popular character. (Arden Cho, who played Kira, also declined to reprise her role after she was reportedly offered a significantly lesser salary than her co-stars.)

A truly gross string of videos showing “sushi terrorism” incidents circulating on social media have sparked public outcry and a reported police investigation in Japan. The videos involve customers in “kaitenzushi” or “conveyor belt sushi” restaurants pranking other diners by tampering with dishes and then putting them back on the belt for unsuspecting victims to consume. In one clip, a prankster appears to lick his finger and then touch pieces of sushi as they pass by his table. He also licks the open top of a bottle of soy sauce and the rim of a teacup, which are then put back on a shelf. The clip, which was recorded in a branch of the Sushiro restaurant chain, caused the company’s stocks to plummet almost 5 percent on Tuesday. Other clips filmed at other chains show pranksters secretly putting wasabi in passing sushi.

Images of art and photography are just not done justice on a screen, thanks to the limited display capacity compared to print. Top-quality art and photography coffee table books are a wonderful way to display your interests in your home, but they can often be pricey. So, it’s an exciting time when one of the world’s leading publishers has a really big sale. Taschen has stores in international cities such as New York, Paris, and Hong Kong, but you don’t have to visit one in person to score a sweet deal on a luxury book. Whether looking for gifts, adding to a library collection, or something to leave on your coffee table, the selections of Taschen books now on sale are outrageously beautiful and historic–but don’t snooze since the sale is only live for a few days until February 5.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of his blockbuster melodrama Titanic, director James Cameron has decided to conduct a very thorough, slightly unhinged scientific test of “the raft theory,” aka the movie’s biggest point of contention among fans. The theory, of course, is that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) could have floated alongside Rose (Kate Winslet) on a broken door in the ocean and survived, rather than plunge, frozen, into the fathomless depths of the sea.

Jane Fonda is an Academy Award-winning Hollywood legend who’s enjoyed a decades-spanning career, but she’s not been immune to the pressures of maintaining a camera-ready physique, she revealed this week on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

There have been more than a few unfortunate, let’s call them… “efforts” made by contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race over the years, that now live somewhat embarrassingly (and iconically) in television infamy. Whether it was LaLa Ri trying to sell a corset with gift bags...
