Warning: This post contains a major spoiler from the premiere of Power Book II: Ghost.  Tasha’s Hail Mary attempt to avoid a prison sentence in Sunday’s premiere of the Power spinoff is likely to have one hell of a consequence, in the form of the return of certain volatile criminal whose name rhymes with “Shmommy Shmegan.” While on trial for murder, Tasha claimed her innocence, then was pressed to give the name of the gunman who shot and killed her husband, James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Unwilling to implicate the actual shooter — her teenage son, Tariq — Tasha told the court that her husband’s former business partner, Tommy Egan, was the person who’d done the deed. (Click here to read a full recap of the premiere.) In a recent interview, Power Book II: Ghost boss Courtne...

The Blood Door By this point in the episode, I should not have been surprised for Tic, Leti and Montrose to come upon a rather technical door that ran solely on blood, and not just your run of the mill blood, because that shit will make a one-armed corpse out of whoever's brave/dumb enough to try it out. (Though kudos on anyone else in the world actually finding this fucked up door in the first place, considering what had to be done to get there.) But I was still kind of surprised to see it, and I was already deep into wondering how the door would have pulled Tic's blood upward into the applicable chambers before I remembered to stop it. Sweet ladder drop, too.

The Rolling Stones sure knew how to write great songs — and most great works of art have to go through multiple drafts. One of the Rolling Stones’ biggest hits was almost a reggae song. In addition, it remained unreleased until five years after it was written — despite having one of Keith Richard’s favorite Rolling Stones guitar riffs. The Rolling Stones | Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesWhy the Rolling Stones changed a reggae song into a rock song Like many great bands of the Baby Boomer generation, the Rolling Stones experimented in multiple genres. They made rock, disco, psychedelic music, baroque pop, and country music, in addition to other genres. Richards told Guitar World how the band once wrote a reggae song that became something completely different. ...

Jon Cryer sparked an unexpected Twitter feud with Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz on Saturday after revealing he donated to his political rival. The spat began Saturday after Cryer, 55, took a swipe at Gaetz in a tweet announcing that he donated money to Democrat Phil Ehr. 'Rep. Matt Gaetz invited a white supremacist to the State of the Union,' he wrote, referring to alt right activist Charles C. Johnson. '[Matt] attempted to intimidate a federal witness [Michael Cohen], and endorsed a sociopathic bigot [Laura Loomer] who applauded the deaths of migrants for congress.'  Six hours later, the 38-year-old GOP politician hit back on Twitter with a pointed criticism of Cryer's acting career.   'Charlie Sheen totally carried two and a half men,' Gaetz, 38, wrote.

Once upon a time, Han Solo got all the good Star Wars controversies. First, there were people wondering if he would survive the carbon freeze of The Empire Strikes Back. Then there was George Lucas not killing him off in Return of the Jedi despite Harrison Ford’s wishes. Then there was, of course, “Han Shot First!” For a while, Luke Skywalker stayed relatively controversy-free — at least until The Last Jedi came along. Many fans were up in arms about writer-director Rian Johnson turning Luke into a grumpy old man who didn’t save the day until the third act required him to do it. However, some fans think Luke never broke character at all.  What was Luke Skywalker’s arc?  Mark Hamill | Rich Fury/Getty ImagesIn many ways, Luke Skywalker was the classic hero story —...
