Earlier this year, people started noticing something peculiar about MTV’s schedule: The network had quietly morphed into an almost 24/7 offering of just one show. At one point in late June, “Ridiculousness” — a half-hour viral video-clip show hosted by famed skateboarder Rob Dyrdek — aired for 113 hours out of the network’s entire 168-hour lineup. Many took it as a sign that MTV, a pioneering force in reality television that only a few years ago had also made major investments in original scripted programming, had just given up. Pundits had long predicted the death of broadcast TV, while basic cable feasted on a dual revenue stream of subscriber fees and advertising revenue. But that gravy train started going off the rails when the streaming services arrived. At first, Netflix w...

On last night's RAW, Kairi Sane beat WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley via pinfall. As noted, WWE taped both this and next week's RAW on Monday, which will also be Sane's last appearances for the company. Sane is reportedly heading back to Japan to be with her husband. On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, it was reported that the original plan for Sane (as of yesterday) was to be injured by what looked to be Shayna Baszler. Baszler was brought back to WWE TV as backup to injure Sane as Natalya was originally scripted to be the attacker. Natalya hasn't been on WWE TV for weeks though. Dave Meltzer reported that as far as he knows, she didn't test positive for COVID-19. Natalya's husband, TJ Wilson, was really sick a few weeks back and tested negative for COVID-19, but WWE decided...

(Reuters) - Rapper Kanye West posted a series of tweets late on Monday claiming his wife was trying to have him locked up on medical grounds, comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and suggesting the movie “Get Out” was based on his own life.

REUTERS/Randall Hill The late night flurry of activity on West’s official Twitter account - the bulk of which was deleted a few hours later - came a day after he launched his U.S. presidential campaign with a rambling rally in Charleston, South Carolina. At that event, he tearfully referenced a decision he said he made with wife Kim Kardashian not to abort a pregnancy. “Kim was tryin...

In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Schwimmer, who played Ross Geller in the hit NBC sitcom, said that filming of the special would be dependent on safety considerations due to the coronavirus pandemic. "It's supposed to happen maybe in August, the middle of August, but honestly, we're going to wait and see another week or two if we all determine it's really safe enough to do," Schwimmer explained to Fallon in an appearance on "The Tonight Show" on Monday. "And if not, we'll wait until it's safe," he said. The special, which had been long rumored and anticipated by fans, was confirmed by HBO Max in February. HBO Max is owned by CNN's parent company. The reunion was put on pause because of the coronavirus pandemic, but according to Schwimmer, plans are still afoot to bring the show to ...

The filmed adaptation of Hamilton has taken everyone’s quarantine by storm. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s famous musical has given us all something new to watch, re-watch, and dissect over and over again while we’re stuck at home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the distraction. And dissect, the internet has! Even though the soundtrack has been out since 2015 and the musical is entirely sung-through (it has little to no dialogue and the songs tell the entirety of the story), there are still plenty of new things on-screen for fans to obsess over with Hamilton. One such moment happens in the last two minutes of the film — Eliza’s gasp. Wondering what it means? Let’s take a look. ‘Hamilton’ tells the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton Thank you for tonight....

Warner Bros. delivered bad news for the U.S. movie theater industry on Monday: the studio has delayed the U.S. theatrical release of Christopher Nolan’s secretive action thriller “Tenet” indefinitely, with no new date given. That news comes after Warner Bros. had already pushed the film from July 17 to July 31, and then to Aug. 12. Warner Bros. said in a press statement that the studio “will share a new 2020 release date imminently.” But the move is a blow to movie theater chains, many of which had planned to begin cautious reopening in order to show “Tenet” and “Mulan,” Disney’s next big live-action remake which has been pushed from March 27 to July 24 to Aug. 21, and now, given the Warner Bros. move, could certainly get pushed again. (Disney had no comment.) “Tenet” and “Mulan” were se...
