Russell Crowe in UnhingedPhoto: Solstice Pictures Boy, that was a scary 20-something weeks, huh? That’s how long it’s been since we did a real check-in on how much money new releases had made at the weekend box office. Onward made $10 million, something that we described as a “religious guitar movie” made $9.5 million, and Vin Diesel’s now-doomed-to-be-an-answer-to-a-trivia-question Bloodshot made $9.3 million. Since then, despite our insistence that people should not be going out unnecessarily so we can hopefully end this pandemic sooner rather than later (a hilarious thing to look back on now that it’s fucking August), the coronavirus did indeed get worse and worse and worse and then pretty much everything in the country was shut down for an extended period of time… until—with absolu...

Former FBI Director James Comey revived his attacks on President Trump during Sunday's installment of CBS' "Face the Nation" -- but was not asked about a recent guilty plea by ex-FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. Last week, Clinesmith pleaded guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the investigation into links between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. His misconduct took place during Comey's tenure as FBI director. Clinesmith's plea went unmentioned by "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan. She did, however, ask Comey whether he thought he was a "target" of Durham's investigation.

Kim Kardashian West may be extremely busy filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but the hit E! series isn’t the only thing in life she’s focused on these days. In addition to her reality show, her makeup brand, KKW Beauty, and her shapewear line, SKIMS, Kardashian West has been busy advocating for prison reform and helping to change the correctional system in the United States. So far, the reality star has been responsible for freeing several inmates who were wrongfully convicted from jail and intends to keep working with the White House on prison reform, regardless of who becomes the next President.

Jerry Seinfeld blasted the owner of Stand Up N.Y. on Monday after he claimed “NYC is dead forever” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The “Seinfeld” star referred to the club’s owner, James Altucher, as a “putz” in a scathing New York Times op-ed and gave a passionate argument about “the true greatness of New York City.” “The last thing we need in the thick of so many challenges is some putz on LinkedIn wailing and whimpering, ‘Everyone’s gone! I want 2019 back!’” Seinfeld, 66, wrote tagging the post, but not acknowledging Altucher by name. JERRY SEINFELD ADDRESSES RUMORS THAT HE ONCE PRACTICED SCIENTOLOGY: 'I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING' Jerry Seinfeld. (Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP, File) Seinfeld showed no tolerance for the club owner. “Oh, shut up," Seinfelf wro...

WWE has already moved Sonya Deville from the SmackDown roster to the Alumni roster. The move was made earlier this afternoon. As noted, Deville lost a "No DQ, Loser Leaves WWE" match to Mandy Rose at SummerSlam last night. The match was originally scheduled to be a Hair vs. Hair match, but word is that the match was changed because of the recent attempted kidnapping at Deville's home as her lawyers recommended that she does not show up to court looking different or anything like that. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that her lawyers did not want her hair cut, which is why WWE changed the stipulation. As seen above, WWE released post-show footage of Deville responding to a camera man who asked how she was taking the loss to Rose. "Do not call me that ever again," De...
