Alex Rodriguez steps out with Jennifer Lopez amid alleged DM scandal with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy – Yahoo Entertainment

The Wrap ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ Leads All Films as BAFTA Unveils Longlists for Film Awards The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has unveiled “longlists” that narrow the field in 24 categories at the EE British Academy Film Awards. The longlists were part of an overhaul of BAFTA voting procedures instituted in September to increase the diversity of nominations. Longlists existed in BAFTA voting prior to 2012 but were eliminated that year. Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” led all films by being longlisted in 15 different categories, buoyed by four different cast members in the Best Supporting Actor category. It was followed by David Fincher’s “Mank” with 14, Emerald Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman” with 13 and Paul Greengrass’ “News of the World” with 12. Other ...

SAG Awards Spread the Wealth, Chadwick Boseman Makes History With 4 Nominations – Variety

The Screen Actors Guild Awards spread the wealth when the organization announced nominations Thursday for its 27th edition, failing to signal there were any clear frontrunners in either the film or television races. “Minari,” the story of an immigrant family trying to build a life in the rural South, “Da 5 Bloods, a Vietnam epic, “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” a courtroom drama, and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” an adaptation of an August Wilson play, all scored a leading three nominations.  The recognition felt like karmic justice for “Minari” and “Da 5 Bloods” after the films were largely shut out of Wednesday’s Golden Globe nominations. It could also breathe fresh life into their Oscar prospects after their awards prospects were looking shaky just 24 hours ago. In a bitte...

A British teen is waking up from 10-month coma to a world changed by COVID-19 – USA TODAY

A British teen who slipped into coma before COVID-19 became a pandemic is now showing signs of improvement, regaining consciousness in a world much different from the one he knew. Joseph Flavill, 19, fell into a coma March 1, three weeks before the United Kingdom went into lockdown, The Guardian reported. In recent weeks, he has been regaining consciousness, again being able to follow commands, move his legs and communicate through blinking. His progress has left his family hopeful, even as they struggle to help him make sense of the world around him. “I just don’t know where to start with it," Flavill's aunt, Sally Flavill Smith, told the Guardian. "A year ago if someone had told me what was going to happen over the last year, I don’t think I would have believed it. I’ve got no idea how ...

Secrets of The Weeknds face, from bloody horror to surgery shocker – New York Post

The Weeknd is finally facing the music after shocking the public with his ever-evolving face. Fans have questioned the singer’s look for well over a year, as he’s been seen sporting variations of a bloody-and-bruised visage for his album “After Hours,” long before his much-hyped Super Bowl 2021 halftime performance. But the singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, cautioned from the get-go that it was a persona he created for the fourth studio album. “There’s also a very committed vision and character being portrayed, and I get to explore a different side of me that my fans have never seen,” he revealed in an interview for CR Fashion Book in March 2020. Having just turned 30 — his birthday is February 16 — he had said the album in its entirety served as an...
