It only took eight episodes and a whole lot of rage, but we finally have answers to the question at the heart of Furious Season 1: Who killed Isabel and why? If you tuned into the Hulu hit at the beginning of the series just for Emmy Rossum or Lola Petticrew (we hope not Jake Lacy otherwise your heart may now be broken at how treacherous his character is) you may have found yourself enamored with the story at the center of the show. Inside the overarching tale about rage and societal misdoings is a mystery about what happened to…

The 41-year-old host stepped out in a vintage Versace Spring/Summer 2006 gown while co-hosting the season 8 reunion with Andy Cohen, which premiered Monday night (August 31) on Peacock. However, fashion fans might have recognized the look because Hailey Bieber wore the same archival design earlier this year, according to Page Six. The stunning dress is a pale yellow gown with a jeweled halter neckline and deep plunging front. It includes ruffled detailing down the skirt. Ariana paired it with gold pumps, delicate jewelry, and…
Backrooms is ready for its Oscar run. The YouTube-spawned horror phenomenon is among the initial wave of films available for Oscar voters on the Motion Picture Academy’s secure viewing portal.

Who Is That Witty Scottish Announcer on Love Island?Iain Stirling pulls a double shift as the narrator of both Love Island UK and Love Island USA—and during filming, he’s also on a tight schedule. “At 12 in the afternoon U.K. time, I’d log on to Love Island UK,” the Scottish comedian detailed to TODAY in 2024. “By that point, the show’s all but finished. Then we’d write for two or three hours. Done by about 4, half 4. Then I’d get a child dinner, bath time, bed time—I’d love for it to be more rock ‘n’ roll than that, but…
Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 was far from the cultural juggernaut of his previous film Parasite. But the film — which marked Korean director Bong’s return to working in English after Snowpiercer and the offbeat creature feature Okja —still gave audiences the dark comedy and suspense of his best films, with an unexpected secret ingredient: two Robert Pattinsons. A dystopian science fiction story about Earthlings colonizing a distant world, the movie is a direct mirror to contemporary life in the way the best sci-fi can be. Viewers didn’t necessarily agree at the time, as the movie lost Warner Bros. Discovery…
Paramount If you’re a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” fan, you’re probably aware that the show went through a lot of growing pains over the course of its seven-season run — but one change shines above the rest: The tweaks made to Worf’s Klingon forehead between Seasons 1 and 2 of “TNG.” But why did the series change the character’s facial design? The decision was simple: The makeup team had no choice. Someone stole the prosthetic for Worf’s forehead between the first two seasons, making it unavailable for use when filming…
There are hot takes, there are bad takes… and then there is this. On the heels of Tom Cruise announcing a Days of Thunder sequel — which will return Cruise as NASCAR driver Cole Trickle — Cruise’s former co-star Randy Quaid crudely blasted the action movie icon for picking Oscar winner Anne Hathaway as his co-lead. In the 1990 original, Quaid played a race team owner who recruits Cole into NASCAR, while Nicole Kidman played a neurosurgeon who becomes Cole’s love interest. In the upcoming Paramount movie, Hathaway will play a team owner and engineer. “We need Nicole back,” wrote…

TMZ reports the 35-year-old Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness actor quietly wed his girlfriend, Maria Gilfillan, in an intimate ceremony at the beginning of August. What a beautiful couple!
