After an awards season that started off with luxe loungewear seen from stars’ homes and hotel rooms around the world, we’re ending the journey with the Oscars on Sunday — and, in what might seem like a return to normalcy this pandemic year, there’s a red carpet. This time, the star-studded 93rd Academy Awards is happening at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, not the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland in Hollywood. We’ll be updating this red-carpet photo gallery as the evening goes on and the stars, guests and nominees arrive. We’re curious to see what looks Andra Day, Viola Davis, Olivia Colman, Riz Ahmed, Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya will wear. (Whom do you hope to see and win the red carpet?) We’re expecting this awards show to be a return to formal Hollywood glitz ...

[Follow our live coverage of the 2021 Oscars.] The Academy Awards look different this year: The red carpet has been hemmed, and the after-parties cut. The ceremony is being held almost two months later than usual, at an in-person event split between the Dolby Theater in Hollywood and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. It’s an unusual setup in an unusual year, where many of the films were released during a time when movie theaters were largely closed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, this ceremony could make history. All four acting Oscars could go to people of color. Chloé Zhao has won the directing award for “Nomadland,” becoming the first woman of color to win in that category, and the second woman ever to win there. (Kathryn Bigelow was the first, for “The Hurt Lo...

They once dotted shopping plazas in America with ubiquity, beckoning binge watchers with shelves of VHS cassettes, microwave popcorn and boxes of candy — and a reminder to “Be Kind, Rewind.” Video rental stores, pushed closer to the brink of extinction by streaming services like Netflix and changing technology, may be a thing of the past but an overdue rental became an issue of the present for a Texas woman. The woman, who was identified in court records as Caron Scarborough Davis, recently learned that there was a 21-year-old outstanding warrant for her arrest in Oklahoma. Her offense? Prosecutors said that Ms. Davis had failed to return a copy of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” a television sitcom that aired from 1996 to 2003. She rented the tape of episodes from a video store in Nor...

Kanye West turned out to be quite present throughout DMX's tributes this weekend -- and he'll continue to be ... because he's got a seven-figure gift for the man's family. Sources close to Kanye tell us the custom DMX T-shirt designed by Balenciaga -- which was commissioned by the Yeezy brand and put up for sale Saturday as X's memorial got underway -- ended up cranking out huge profits quickly ... upwards of a million bucks. Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media. Balenciaga had already said they'd be giving the net profits back to the fam -- but the fact those sales produced a million dollars i...

Katie’s all about being Katie in her first “Bachelorette” promo. Fans got a peek at the upcoming season starring Katie Thurston — a fan favorite from “Bachelor” Matt James’ season — in a teaser released by ABC on Sunday. “I am who I am and I want to meet someone who knows who they are,” Thurston is heard saying in the clip. To really get her point across, the 30-year-old bank marketing manager wears a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Be a Katie.” Thurston and fellow former contestant Michelle Young were both named in March as upcoming “Bachelorettes,” with Thurston’s season debuting this summer and Young’s in the the fall. The dual announcement came after a season that was marred in controversy stemming from racially insensitive behavior on the p...

Azaylia Diamond Cain was born August 10, 2020, to parents Cain and partner Safiyya Vorajee. Cain, a former Coventry City soccer player in England, documented Azaylia's life on Instagram as she underwent treatments after being diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, according to the couple. AML is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, according to the Mayo Clinic. The term "acute" denotes the disease's rapid progression. AML is rare, accounting for only about 1% of all cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. On Sunday, both Cain and Vorajee announced that Azaylia had died. "Rest In Paradise Princess," Cain posted on Sunday. "I will always hold you in my heart until I can hold you again in heaven." He also updated his Instagram bio stating she passed away ...

Matt James might've walked away from Rachael Kirkconnell on national TV after the racism dust-up ... but he seems to have circled back with her in the real world for another go. The former 'Bachelor' was seen hanging out with his ex Saturday in the City of Angels -- grabbing brew at a bar called JuneShine in Santa Monica, with some friends in tow. Matt was trying to be all incognito for the outing, but it's pretty obvious to us that's him and her. His bottom-half attire pretty much gives it away ... so does the skateboard. The guy's often seen shredding and wearing short-shorts ... especially those green/blue ones. He eve...
