Demi Lovato says DMX’s recent overdose is giving her “survivor’s guilt” after she nearly died in 2018 from drugs. The “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” rapper, 50, has been on life support and in a “vegetative state” since last week after overdosing on drugs and suffering a heart attack. “Any time I see someone OD or pass away that’s in the public eye I immediately think, ‘That could have been you had you not been putting all this work into the last couple of years of your life,'” Lovato says in an interview with “TMZ Live” airing on Wednesday. “There’s times I’ve felt, like, feeling survivor’s guilt. You do ask yourself, ‘Why am I still here, why are others not?’ It’s challenging. I have to realize that every day is a day that someone else doesn’t get.” The “...

Last week, Apple Arcade received its biggest update since launching back in 2019. More than 30 titles were added to the subscription service, including much-anticipated games like Hironobu Sakaguchi’s roleplaying epic Fantasian. But while the quantity and quality of titles added were impressive, the most important part of the announcement was a change in direction. Among those big-name exclusives were a number of classics, ranging from Monument Valley to chess to Threes, that help round out the service. Apple Arcade has finally matured into something close to a Netflix for mobile games. Since the beginning, the pitch for Apple Arcade has been entirely centered on quality. While the App Store continues to devolve into a space dominated by free-to-play games, Arcade provided an alt...

You may think you’re familiar with The Lord of the Rings, but nothing can quite prepare you for an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy text made in the Soviet Union. The made-for-TV film first aired on Leningrad Television in 1991 and was thought to be lost to time, as first reported by The Guardian. But the station’s successor, 5TV, recently unearthed a copy from its archives, and uploaded the entire work to YouTube in two parts. Low budget special effects and Soviet mood music With a running time of around 1 hour and 50 minutes, this adaptation focuses only on the first book of Tolkein’s trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, and is a riot of low-budget special effects, bizarre camera work, and Soviet mood music. Rather than the epic Hollywood fantasy captured so...

"We embrace that," Chrissy said of her son's character. "I think more men should embrace their emotions," she continued. "I think that's really important in this world. That it's OK to cry, and it's OK to be upset about something or to be sad about something. We're going to talk it through and it's OK." "John is so good about showing them through how he treats me how to be a good man, how to be a good father," she added. "It's wonderful to see." Chrissy shared the photo on Instagram last month, joking in the caption that Miles had crashed her thirst trap photoshoot. And while plenty of commenters praised the photo, saying it epitomized the realities of being mother to a toddler, it did raise criticism from several others, who said it was...

Cher issued another apology for her recent controversial tweet about the murder of George Floyd following some "soul searching."  The "Turn Back Time" singer has been under fire for several days after sharing a tweet about the ongoing trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is accused of murdering Floyd when he knelt on his neck during an arrest in May of 2020. Cher was accused of acting like a "white savior" by noting that she felt she could have stopped the death if she was there at the time of the incident. Although she previously issued an apology for the tweet, the star took to Twitter again on Tuesday to once again note how contrite she is over her comment and vowed to do better with her social media presence going forward.  "These last days have been Hard,...
