Sharon Osbourne is not leaving The Talk quietly after severe backlash for her meltdown on the show defending her friend Piers Morgan. After the viral incident, many things from the past came up and former co-host Holly Robinson Peete accused her of calling her “ghetto.” Despite Osbourne denying using that word, Peete’s mother took to social media to denounce her alleged bad behavior. Sharon Osbourne and Holly Robinson Peete | Tiffany Rose/WireImageWhen did Sharon Osbourne call Holly Robinson Peete ‘ghetto?’ Back when The Talk started, the cast was conformed of six ladies: Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Osbourne, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Peete, and Leah Remini. However, after a cast shakeup for season 2, Peete and Remini were let go and replaced by Aisha Tyler and Sheryl Un...

Sunday on American Idol, the top 12 semifinalists sang Academy Award-nominated songs, with only nine advancing via the public’s real-time East Coast vote. Singer-songwriter Hunter Metts seemed primed to go for the Oscar gold with his well-chosen cover of “Falling Slowly” (even if was I hoping he’d do Elliott Smith’s “Miss Misery” instead), the Swell Season’s gorgeous Once winner which was first winningly performed on Idol by Kris Allen in Season 8. And until Hunter’s final line, everything was working wonderfully — the autumnal postcard-pretty stage backdrop, the stately cellist accompaniment, Hunter’s awards-ceremony suit, the fragility and sweetness and simplicity of it all. It was all so magical that by the time he flubbed a couple of words at the end, he’d done more than enough to cha...

Penske Media Corp., the publisher of magazines like Rolling Stone, Billboard and Variety, agreed to acquire a 50% stake in South by Southwest, the famed tech, music and movie festival, people familiar with the matter said. The Texas festival, one of the largest and best known in the U.S., was dealt a severe financial blow last March after being canceled at the last minute by Austin city officials because of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers said at that time that their insurance policies didn’t cover cancellation because of a pandemic. They believed the cancellation would cost them millions, raising questions about the future of the festival, which is also known as SXSW or simply “Southby.” Last spring, SXSW laid off a third of its 175 y...

Unacceptable,” she said. “That’s the easy one, y’all. That’s a monster.” By contrast, many felt Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman, the stars of Rudin’s hot-ticket Broadway revival The Music Man, were disappointedly quiet about the accusations that Rudin physically and psychologically harassed his subordinates throughout his career. On Sunday, Foster finally addressed the allegations, detailed in an ...
