Netflix has issued a firm response to the five Republican senators who questioned its decision to adapt “The Three-Body Problem” sci-fi novel trilogy by Liu Cixin. In a Sept. 24 letter, the senators, led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, pointed to disparaging remarks Liu had made about Uyghur Muslims in an interview last year, and suggested that Netflix should halt its plans to adapt his books.

Plus, it’s hard not to cry when you can hear Drew Barrymore trying not to cry. “I was so happy when you invited me on the show. It’s been too long,” says Green while visiting The Drew Barrymore Show this week. “We really did not talk for about fifteen years, I guess, and this is really the first time we’ve looked at eac...

It's only fitting that Gigi Hadid's baby girl would get to call Taylor Swift and Donatella Versace her "aunties!"  The new mama took to her Instagram Story on Friday, Sept. 25 with a sweet glimpse of her and Zayn Malik's newborn, whose birth they announced earlier this week.  Gigi's bundle of joy is well on her way to becoming a fashionista much like her mama, as she wore a white Versace outfit gifted to her by the Italian fashion designer. "from auntie @donatella_versace," the 25-year-old supermodel wrote.   And as for the baby's light pink satin blanket? Made by the one and only T. Swift.

4:59 PM PDT 9/25/2020 by Heran Mamo, Billboard "I am blessed that on a year that I would normally be on a movie set, I have another creative outlet," said the 53-year-old action star in a video message. As Vin Diesel navigates 2020 away from the Fast and Furious set, he video chatted Kelly Clarkson on her show Thursday from a recording studio to premiere his debut single "Feel Like I Do" in collaboration with Kygo.

Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" cruised to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. Forty-three years later, TikTok user @420doggface208 is jamming to the hit while cruising on his skateboard, and it's gaining rotation again. In the short clip that's already received 2.7 million views on the social platform, he's seen boarding on the road, lip-syncing to "Dreams" and drinking from an entire bottle of cranberry juice.
