With the fall and early winter corridor looking fiercely competitive, Warner Bros. is changing a trio of release dates in order to best position its movies. All of them will still go day-and-date on HBO Max (for the first 31 days) with theatrical. With MGM/United Artists Releasing’s 007 movie No Time to Die on Oct. 8, Warners will not play Legendary’s Dune in its wake, rather go on Oct. 22 with the all-star ensemble sci-fi pic based on the Frank Herbert novel. Dune will also be released in 3D and Imax. Dune is making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and it will be hitting TIFF. Instead on Oct. 1, Warners will release the Alan Taylor directed, David Chase produced and co-written Sopranos New Line feature prequel The Many Saints of Newark. Pic was most recentl...

Meghan Markle dropped her HRH title on daughter Lilibet Diana’s birth certificate – but Prince Harry kept his. A photo of the birth certificate, released by TMZ on Friday, revealed that the Duchess of Sussex used her birth name – Rachel Meghan Markle – instead of her royal title. Harry, on the other hand, listed "The Duke of Sussex" as his first name as "His Royal Highness" as his last name on the birth certificate. In January 2020, following the couple’s announcement that they were stepping back as senior members of the British royal family, Buckingham Palace announced in a statement they would no longer use the "HRH" title, which refers to "his/her royal highness." It is spoken and written in front of the names of princes and princesses, as well as their spouses. For example, Princ...

On the Billboard Music Awards stage in October, Doja Cat stood in front of a Broadway sign displaying the word “Juicy,” the title of her 2019 hit single. As the sparkly intro to the song built, Doja spoke directly to the camera, her bedazzled silver leotard winking. “Forget what you’ve seen and forget what you’ve heard because tonight I’m going to keep it real,” she said before sauntering into a medley: “Juicy,” then other recent triumphs “Say So” and “Like That,” all reimagined as a big-band stage number. It was hard not to read into Doja Cat’s impressive homage to Chicago. Sure, it made for a theatrical interpretation of her hits. But it was telling that her inspiration was a musical about provocative, misconstrued women. It seemed like she wanted us to jettison o...

Wendy Williams is in hot water after she wished death upon Britney Spears' parents Jamie and Lynne on the heels of the singer's court testimony about her conservatorship. During Thursday's episode of "The Wendy Williams Show," the talk show host waged support for Britney, who told a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday that her conservators, including her father, have blocked her from removing an IUD, forced her to go to rehab and to take lithium. "How dare you, Mr. Spears. You had me fooled. And you too, Mrs. Spears," Williams said during the show. The host then said, "Death to all of them," prompting gasps from the audience. The clip has since been edited out of the full episode on the official "Wendy Williams Show" YouTube account. "You went too far, @WendyWilliams. Suppor...

Universal and Blumhouse dropped a doozy of a Halloween Kills trailer on us last night, and when you watch it, you’ll understand why the internet lost its damn mind over it. Looks intense! Looks mean! Looks like they show you a whole lot of kills! Which, alas, today finds many fans Mad Online™. “They show you the whole movie!” “It spoils literally every kill!” Not sure how you got to that conclusion without seeing the actual entire film, Criswell, but this is an official public service announcement that, once again, you all need to calm down. The Halloween Kills trailer contains story beats presented in such a way that might lead you to think you now know the entire plot of the film. You do not. There are so many kill scenes that you think you’ve seen a...

The friendships with rich and powerful men — Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew — came under renewed scrutiny; headlines trumpeted alleged travels in the so-called Lolita Express, the airplane reportedly ferrying underage girls to Epstein’s private island. Epstein’s subsequent death by suicide in prison that summer — under questionable circumstances —...
