I didn’t like the close of Elimination Chamber. After cooling down, I thought of what the benefit was to having Lashley out there helping Miz. It was definitely to get Lashley a title match. As it turns out, that’s exactly what the plan was. Good! Lashley’s been super protected for months and he honestly deserves a title match. He honestly deserves to be champion. They started with that on this show, aaaaand then shenanigans and bait and switch galore. Braun Strowman has to be involved, Shane McMahon has to be involved, and now Bobby has to fight to get what he’s owed. Oh and now Bobby will face Miz next week. Only problem is - this is wrestling. You know what’s happening next week. More bait and switch! Someone’s interfering. They have to drag it out and extend it to Fastlan...

10:08 PM PST 2/22/2021 by Patrick Brzeski The filmmaker's Chinese origins and the film's Oscar buzz have generated interest amongst the country's arthouse community. Chloé Zhao's Oscars favorite Nomadland has been given the green light for a limited theatrical release in China. The neo-Western's pacing and themes would usually make for a challenging fit for China's commercially driven film market, but the director's Chinese origins — and the acclaim her work already has received — have generated excitement among some Chinese film buffs. Nomadland will be released through the National Alliance of Arthouse Cinemas (NAAC), a government-backed organization that releases independent films in China with the support of major local exhibitors. A source at one of th...

One night after the Elimination Chamber, new WWE champion The Miz found himself in hot water. Miz spent Raw trying to weasel out of a deal he made to give Bobby Lashley a shot at the title in return for taking Drew McIntyre out the night before. Ultimately, Miz didn't have to step in the ring, but Lashley was able to secure a shot at the championship next Monday. Lashley had to get past the stiff challenge of Braun Strowman to earn that opportunity, but did so before making one final statement by taking out Miz to close the show. CBS Sports was with you all night, bringing you results and highlights from all the action from the ThunderDome inside Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. Bobby Lashley secures a shot at WWE title The Miz opened the show with a speci...

Actress Shailene Woodley confirmed her engagement to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that aired Monday. Woodley, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role in the HBO drama series "Big Little Lies," said she and Rodgers got engaged "a while ago." Rodgers, 37, had mentioned his engagement and thanked his fiancée while accepting his third career MVP award on Feb. 6 but didn't say her name. Woodley, 29, told Fallon she has yet to attend one of Rodgers' games because of the pandemic, and she acknowledged that while growing up, sports were never really on her "radar." "When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn't know like what kind of a football guy he was," Woodley explained. "And I'm still c...

Spaces Text by Sadaf Shaikh When quarantining became mandatory, many young professionals who had moved cities for work chose to go back home – either to save on rent or return to the reassuring familiarity of their families, former surroundings or even the nosy neighbours they loved to hate. (Seriously, the pandemic has us yearning for the most unusual things – I’m looking at you, banana bread). The unique remote-working opportunities also provided a way to explore a nomadic way of living, with others taking up temporary residence in quieter towns that afforded them the luxury of time to pick up new skills, like permaculture or pottery, once they had clocked out of their day jobs. And for those who weren’t in a position to head home or escap...

Matt James, current star of "The Bachelor," has spoken out amid the show's ongoing scandal.  The program attracted negative attention after photos resurfaced of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell previously attending an "Old South" themed party at a plantation in 2018. Then longtime host Chris Harrison conducted an interview with former "Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay, who made history as the first Black Bachelorette, in which he ended up defending Kirkonnell in the interview. It prompted backlash and the blowback led to a public apology from the 49-year-old star, followed by a decision to step aside for a time of personal reflection.  'THE BACHELOR' MATT JAMES TALKS PRESSURE OF BEING THE SHOW'S FIRST BLACK LEAD Now, James has taken to Instagram to address the matter. 'The B...

Knoll’s novel, her debut release, became a New York Times best-seller upon its release in 2015. The author will adapt the screenplay, as well as executive produce, with Mike Barker set to direct and Kunis’s Orchard Fam Productions to produce as well. Luckiest Girl Alive follows protagonist Ani Fanelli (Kunis), who appears from the outside to have it all: g...
