Gigi Hadid just gave fans a glimpse into her home — and they have a lot of thoughts. On Saturday, the pregnant supermodel, 25, posted a series of photos of her recently redecorated New York City apartment on Instagram. Post-makeover, the space is full of bold colors and patterns; highlights include bathroom walls covered in New Yorker covers, a giant yellow pen sculpture and Hadid’s “dream pasta-facade cabinets,” as she described them in her Stories. “Spent all of last year designing and curating my passion project / dream spot. Of course it all came together right before quarantining out of the city…. but I’m excited for the time I’ll get to spend enjoying all the special corners that were made with a lil help from some of my favorite creatives (tap!) who embraced my ideas ...

If a fan convention is held on the internet and no one’s there to talk about it, does it make any noise? That was the overwhelming experience with Comic-Con@Home, the virtual fan convention that ran from July 22-26. It was meant to replace San Diego Comic-Con, the massive annual fan gathering that was forced to cancel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite A-list panels for “The Walking Dead,” the Star Trek Universe, and two Keanu Reeves movies, Comic-Con@Home cast a pale shadow in comparison to Comic-Con of recent years — perhaps the starkest example yet of what we lose when we lose the live experience. According to data from social media analytics firm ListenFirst, tweets that mentioned Comic-Con@Home were down 95% from 2019’s live convention — just 93,681 tweets over the fiv...

Former California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore told “Fox & Friends” Monday that comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan's announced move to Texas from California likely stems from a desire to get away from the "stultifying conformity that demands that everybody speak and think the same." “I’m going to go to Texas,” Rogan said on "The Joe Rogan Experience Pocast" last week. “I just want to go somewhere in the center of the country, somewhere [where] it’s easy to travel to both places and somewhere where you have a little bit more freedom.” Rogan added that he thinks that Los Angeles is “overcrowded” and suggested “it’s a real issue when you look at the number of people that are catching COVID because of this overpopulation issue, when you look at the traffic, when you look at the economic...

“Tenet” may still be able to salvage a summer release after all — at least outside of the United States. Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi thriller, from Warner Bros., will debut internationally starting on Aug. 26 before opening in select cities in North America over Labor Day weekend on Sept. 3. The studio announced Monday that “Tenet” is launching at the end of August in 70 overseas territories, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United Kingdom. At this time, it’s unclear what parts of the U.S. will play the film. The studio does not have plans yet to release “Tenet” in China. Warner Bros. said last week that “Tenet” would not have a traditional global day-and-date release — a surprising (though not unprecedented) break from tradition...

Kathie Lee Gifford is reflecting on the final moments that she shared with her dear friend and former television co-host of 15 years, Regis Philbin, just a few weeks before his death. “[Regis and Joy Philbin] came over about two weeks ago. I saw Reg get out of the car with Joy and I’d sensed much more fragility than I had seen in him since the last time in January out in Los Angeles,” Gifford shared on Today from her Connecticut home. “We sat here on my screen porch and we laughed ourselves sick. We always just picked up right where we left off.” Gifford went on to say that it had been two decades since she left Live with Regis and Kathie Lee where the two formed their close friendship. Ever since, however, the pair had taken every chance they had to see each other and spend time toget...
