The Undoing Recap: Season 1, Episode 5 — Trial By Jury – TVLine

RELATED STORIES The Undoing‘s penultimate installment picks up the day after Jonathan’s live TV tête-à-tête with Connie Chung, which ended (for us, at least) with the accused murderer revealing to the retired broadcaster that he believes he knows who really killed Elena. Oddly, the episode fails to fill us in on what, if anything, he told Chung next about the would-be suspect’s identity, although it’s clear Jonathan is growing suspicious of his wife Grace (who, as was previously established, was caught on a surveillance camera sauntering past the crime scene). The no-good, dirty, rotten, cheating bastard has the nerve to point-blank ask the woman he betrayed 22 times over, “Why were you there that night, outside her apartment?” First off, it’s already been firmly established ...

Megan Thee Stallion gave us Body on the AMAs – CNN

She did not disappoint with her performance of her new single, "Body." Megan Thee Stallion shook it, dropped it and reminded the world why she's currently the hottest female rapper in the game. As AMAs host Taraji P. Henson noted, the 25-year-old artist has at the top of the charts and in the headlines this past year. She wrote a New York Times opinion piece last month that touched on everything from how she was recently injured in a shooting to how she controls her image and the legacy of Black female elected officials. Her duet with fellow rapper Cardi B., titled "WAP," produced both controversy and major bank for the women.

2020 WWE Survivor Series results, recap, grades: Undertaker bids farewell, Roman Reigns-Drew McIntyre delivers – CBSSports.com

The final two segments of WWE Survivor Series 2020 were drastic opposites, with a main-event match that spoke to a potential bright future for the promotion followed by a closing ceremony to say goodbye to an all-time great. In Sunday night's in-ring main event, universal champion Roman Reigns and WWE champion Drew McIntyre met in an outstanding battle of dominant powerhouses. After a lengthy match that ranks with the greatest bouts in WWE in 2020, Reigns was able to pick up the victory, though not without the help of a ref bump and interference from Jey Uso. The annual show closed with the "Final Farewell" of The Undertaker, a ceremony that dominated the promotion for the event. The Undertaker debuted on-screen in WWE at Survivor Series 1990, and 30 years to the day...

Moviegoing Teeters After 700 Theaters Reclose Overnight in North America – Hollywood Reporter

4:33 PM PST 11/22/2020 by Pamela McClintock Amid an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases, 646 theaters closed late last week in the U.S. along with 60 locations in Canada. It's no surprise why box office observers are trying to not freak out. Over the Nov. 20-22 weekend, Blumhouse and Universal's campy body-swap reboot Freaky came in No. 1 with $1.2 million in its second outing, a steep 66 percent drop. That's by far one of the lowest chart-topping grosses of all time — much less for the weekend before Thanksgiving, one of the most lucrative corridors of the year for the moviegoing. Normally, the film itself would be blamed. But not in this case. Heading into the weekend, 646 movie theaters in the U.S. closed down again virtually overnight amid an alarming surge ...

The 2020 American Music Awards aired on Sunday night from Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater with host Taraji P. Henson.

Vegans may be at higher risk for bone fractures, study finds – CNN

Substantially lower intakes of dietary calcium and protein have also been reported among non-meat eaters. Despite this prior research, the associations between vegetarian diets and fracture risks have been unclear until now, the study said. "This is the first comprehensive study and the largest study to date to look at the risks of both total fractures (fractures occurring anywhere in the body) and fractures at different sites in people of different habitual dietary habits," said the study's lead author, Tammy Tong, a nutritional epidemiologist at the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford, via email. There were 4.1 more cases in vegetarians and 19.4 more cases in vegans for every 1,000 people over a period of 10 years. Diet and bone strength Nearly 55,00...

Health officials make their final pleas for holiday caution as coronavirus cases spike – The Washington Post

In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease expert, said he understands that many Americans are experiencing “covid fatigue” after months of pandemic restrictions, now tightening again in many places. But traveling over the holidays and ignoring public health guidelines are “going to get us into even more trouble than we’re in right now,” he said. Moncef Slaoui, chief scientific adviser to the White House’s Operation Warp Speed vaccine effort, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that about 70 percent of the American population will need to be vaccinated for true herd immunity to occur. That will probably happen around May, he said, based on health officials’ current plans. “Most people need to be immunized before we can go back...
