Once again, David Chase has given his audience everything and nothing at the same time. “The Sopranos” and “Many Saints of Newark” creator revealed a cryptic tidbit that gives the show’s blackout ending and fate of James Gandolfini’s Tony Soprano in 2007 a bit more context — but you’ll still have to draw your own conclusions. Speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, Chase confirmed that the show’s iconic Holsten’s last supper was separate from a plan he originally envisioned for the boss’ demise. “Because the [death] scene I had in my mind was not that scene. Nor did I think of cutting to black,” Chase said. “I had a scene in which Tony comes back from a meeting in New York in his car. At the beginning of every show, he came from New York into New Jersey, and...

When the South African writer Damon Galgut learned that his novel, “The Promise,” was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, he was filled with anxiety. Galgut had been shortlisted twice before, in 2003 and 2010, and both times, the stress of the nominations “probably shaved a few years off my life.” “For a few weeks, you’re one of six winners, then all that attention gets sucked away and very, very suddenly, there’s only one winner, the rest of you are losers,” he told the Guardian in an interview in September. This year was different. On Wednesday, the Booker judges pronounced Galgut the winner, praising his novel for its “unusual narrative style that balances Faulknerian exuberance with Nabokovian precision, pushes boundaries, and is a testament to the flourishing of the novel in the 21st ...

Joe Exotic's health is taking a major turn for the worse as the disgraced zookeeper remains behind bars ... telling fans he has "aggressive cancer." The 'Tiger King' star says he recently had a biopsy performed on his prostate, and doctors let him know the results Wednesday.

Joe's attorney, John Phillips, tells TMZ ... he plans to file a motion requesting compassionate release from his federal prison in Texas. It sounds like JE's condition must be pretty bad, because Phillips added that a...

SANTA FE, N.M. – Warrants linked to the Alec Baldwin "Rust" movie set tragedy in New Mexico that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and wounded director Joel Souza show conditions fell far short of film industry standards for gun safety. In response to an inquiry from Fox News Digital for the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees’ written rules about gun safety on movie sets, the union provided guidelines from the Contract Services Administration Trust Fund (CSATF). In all caps with bold, underlined letters, the first line reads, "BLANKS CAN KILL. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOADED. ‘LIVE AMMUNITION’ IS NEVER TO BE USED NOR BROUGHT ONTO ANY STUDIO LOT OR STAGE." Alec Baldwin spoke with reporters about the deadly on-set shooting on the movie '...

If you can’t help but wonder what it would be like to be Carrie Bradshaw for a day, now’s your chance. For just $23 a night, Airbnb is offering guests a chance to stay at a re-creation of the iconic “Sex and the City” character’s brownstone apartment — walk-in closet included. While Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bradshaw notoriously lived on a writer’s salary in a spacious Upper East Side one-bedroom — that would cost at least $3,000 a month today — this nostalgic sojourn will instead be in the tony Chelsea neighborhood for the cost of a Cosmopolitan. The Airbnb stay — the first of its kind for two lucky parties — is in celebration of the upcoming release of the HBO Max Original, “And Just Like That.” Parker, 56, personally helped craft the reproduction of the famous ...
