Madame Tussauds London unveiled the wax figure this week of the "Euphoria" star, and it has Twitter extremely divided (what else is new?) -- some say it's spot on, and others claim MT did her dirty, because it seems more like a Kylie Jenner tribute. But, now Madame Tussauds is firing back with receipts ... claiming the statue is correct, by the numbers at least. A spokesperson says, "Our talented artists created our new Zendaya figure using measurements...

Before Disney Plus, Netflix’s Marvel TV shows were pushing the edge of MCU-adjacent content on streaming, but soon, you won’t be able to watch Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Punisher, or The Defenders on Netflix anymore. News of the pending removal surfaced earlier today at What’s on Netflix, as viewers noticed flags on the shows in the Netflix app. Spokespeople for Netflix and Disney who declined to be named publicly have confirmed to The Verge that Netflix’s license ends February 28th. Polygon points out that this shift is coming just after a few characters from the Netflix shows popped up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Charlie Cox brought his Daredevil character into Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Vincent D’Onofrio played Kingpin in the Hawkeye show on Disn...

Full House star and stand-up comedian Bob Saget died unexpectedly last month at age 65 in a hotel in Florida, while he was traveling for a comedy tour. The cause of death was accidental blunt trauma to the head. Saget “hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep,” according to a statement from his family.

Drugs and alcohol were not factors in Saget’s death, the report said, but clonazepam — a medication used to treat seizures, panic attacks, and anxiety — as well as the antidepressant trazodone were found in his system. Saget also was positive for COVI...
