Meri and Kody Brown’s relationship seems to be over.  Over the last two seasons of "Sister Wives," the deterioration of Meri and Kody Brown’s marriage has been a focal point of the series. Now, Meri is revealing that the relationship is "dead." "My relationship with Meri is — at best — just distant and amicable," Kody, 52, first says in a sneak peek of Sunday's episode, which was obtained by Us Weekly.  The sneak peek then flashes back to a therapy session from two months prior, in which Meri, 50, drops the bombshell — stating, "The relationship between he and I, it’s gone. It’s dead. It’s over."

The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. is gearing up for its annual Golden Globes this Sunday and responding to criticism for failing to cultivate an inclusive and diverse membership body. The group doesn’t currently have any Black journalists among its 87-person membership. In fact, the organization hadn’t had a Black member since at least 2002, when former HFPA president and board chair Meher Tatna joined. In an interview for Variety‘s talk with the heads of the big four awards bodies — Oscars, Globes, SAG and BAFTA — Tatna addressed the criticism. “As a person of color, it’s important to me,” says Tatna. “It’s just there are nuances, as an organization of immigrants, who write for our home country, that search [for international Black journalists] has not been easy, but that doesn...

In a note on Twitter, Swift admits that “no one knows what the touring landscape is going to look like in the future.” An additional note on her website adds that refunds will be processed automatically.

Netflix is pairing up with renowned Japanese anime studio Production I.G for an animated TV series set in the Terminator universe. The company is billing the project as a team-up between Matt Tomlin, the writer of the Netflix superhero film Project Power, and the studio best known for producing TV adaptations of legendary manga Ghost in the Shell, though little else is known about the show or when in the complex Terminator timeline it may take place.

Beyond its Ghost in the Shell work, the studio is known as the animator of the Psycho-Pass series and the wildly popular sports anime Haikyu!!

What’s better than an ultra-high-tech, Mission: Impossible-style mask? The deepfake technology this TikToker is using to impersonate Tom Cruise, apparently (via The Daily Beast). The deeptomcruise account appears to feature someone who’s pretending to be the famous actor, and the impression isn’t just jaw-dropping because of how well the person replicates Cruise’s famous laugh. How can you tell it’s not actually Tom Cruise using some sort of strange Twitter name? First, his voice is close, but it’s not quite there, especially since the lip-syncing is a tiny bit off at some points. You can hear what the real Cruise sounds like in this video (unless, of course, James Corden also deepfaked him in). Second, while the tracking and lighting on the face are darn near immaculate — espe...

Originally announced in the fall of 2019, following the release of her seventh studio album Lover, Lover Fest included 12 dates across the globe, including two-night stints in Southern California -- set to be the first-ever concert at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium -- and outside Boston, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. She was also set to headline England's Glastonbury Festival before its March 2020 cancellation due to COVID-19.

Now she has officially canceled all dates. Since the Lover Fest concerts were originally announced, Swift has released two more albums: Folklore and Evermore. It remains to be seen what her next tour...
