Maya Rudolph, who has regularly played Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live, is back in New York hosting the NBC comedy. However, despite this, Lorne Michaels’ long-running comedy eschewed a sketch with Rudolph as Harris and instead chose to have her hosting an MTV-style Spring Break skit. It marks the first time that Saturday Night Live hasn’t had a political cold open in a long time, given Joe Biden’s recent inauguration and the turbulent electoral situation. Rudolph played Cece Vuvuzela, hosting a Singled Out-style gameshow, where three contestants had to guess whether the single girls were “snatched, vaxxed or waxed”. Chris Redd, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney starred alongside Rudolph with Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner as the single ladi...

Getty Image / Alex Wong/Getty Images Joe Rogan interviews are synonymous for lasting well over three hours until every single nook and cranny has been revealed or until he asks his guests if they ever ate elk meat while high on psilocybin mushrooms. However, a recent Joe Rogan Experience interview ended abruptly, which caused fans to scratch their heads and ask why. Former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, whose incredible story was the inspiration for Lone Survivor, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience. Luttrell was (SPOILER ALERT) the one and only survivor of OperationsRed Wings in Afghanistan, a mission in 2005 where SEAL Team 10 were assigned to neutralize a high-ranking Taliban leader. However, the Navy SEALs were engaged in a bloody gun battle with Taliban fighters on the side ...

Piers Morgan is railing against cancel culture and "woke" liberals in a lengthy account appearing in the U.K.'s "Mail on Sunday" newspaper. Morgan, who left "Good Morning Britain" earlier his month after saying on air that he didn’t believe many of the things Meghan Markle had said in her shocking Oprah Winfrey interview, was writing at length for the first time since after his divisive comments about the Duchess of Sussex. The piece, which appeared online in the U.S. on Saturday night, gave a moment-by-moment account of what led to his departure from "GMB." "I expected such disingenuous, self-serving wrecking-ball stuff from a social-climbing Hollywood actress like Ms Markle, but for Harry to publicly shred his family and the Monarchy like this, while Prince Philip was seriously ill ...

San Diego Comic-Con is returning in 2021. Despite recent news that the massive, pop culture convention would be going virtual in July, plans for the fall gathering have moved forward. Comic-Con International has announced their plans to hold an in-person convention in 2021.

Piers Morgan responded to Sharon Osbourne’s exit from “The Talk” in a lengthy recounting of his own dramatic departure from “Good Morning Britain” — in which he defended their controversial comments about Meghan Markle as “free speech.” “What’s happened to Sharon and me in the past fortnight isn’t really about Ms. Markle,” he wrote in a column for the Mail on Sunday, in which he says Markle was exploiting “woke world view” and “cancel culture” in her bombshell interview.  “It’s about a far bigger issue than one delusional Duchess, and that’s everyone’s right to be free to express our honestly held opinions, forcefully and passionately if we feel like it,” he wrote.  Osbourne quit “The Talk” Friday, two weeks after she got into an on-air argument with her c...

Alabama Shakes drummer Steven William Johnson was arrested earlier this week on multiple child abuse charges in Limestone County, Alabama, according to Huntsville’s WHNT. A Grand Jury indicted him on charges of “willful torture, willful abuse, and cruelly beating or otherwise willfully maltreating a child under the age of 18.” His arraignment is scheduled for April 7, 2021. Last March, Johnson pleaded guilty to a 2019 violation of a domestic violence protection order in March of last year, according to WHNT. He’s a founding member of Alabama Shakes and played on both 2012’s Boys & Girls and 2015’s Sound & Color. The group went on hiatus in 2018 as frontperson Brittany Howard turned her focus toward her solo work. Pitchfork has contacted Alabama Shakes’ representatives for comment....
