The first live results show of America’s Got Talent Season 16 took place Wednesday — with harmony trio 1aChord, comedians Gina Brillon and Kabir Singh, magician Dustin Tavella, and singers Jimmie Herrod, Peter Rosalita, and Madilyn Bailey advancing to the semifinals, while hip-hop/bluegrass band Gangsta Grass, animal act Canine Stars, escape artist Matt Johnson, children’s dance company Beyond Belief, and polarizing prop comic Sethward ultimately exited the competition.

As the title suggests, the show takes full advantage of the storytelling possibilities of the multiverse that “Loki” officially established.

As executive producer Brad Winderbaum (“Black Widow”) explains to Variety, Marvel Studios already has “multiple” animated series “in vari...

The matriarch, 66, shared a photo to Instagram of a large spider web outside of her home in Louisiana on Wednesday. It took no time for fans of the "Toxic" singer to troll the family after claims that Jamie Lynn, 30, had been lying about what she owns and what she’s obtained off the uber success of her older sister. "Oooh look at that! It’s Jamie Lynn and her lively home," one fan commented under the post of the silky web, while another wrote, "Awww cute! Jamie Lynn decorated her new place.

Ryan Reynolds can't catch a break when it comes to trolling. Not only does the 44-year-old actor get trolled online sometimes, but he also has to deal with it in his own home at the expense of his wife, Blake Lively, and their daughters. "Oh, God, yes, I do. Are you kidding me? I live with one," Reynolds told People magazine in an interview published Wednesday. "My wife trolls the crap out of me. Why would I go online? I've got it right here at home."
