Blac Chyna Loses a Second Round in Case Against Kardashians After Claiming Bias – TMZ

Blac Chyna just took another L after accusing the judge in her fierce legal battle with the Kardashians of harboring an extreme bias against her ... he says she's got it twisted. According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Chyna lost a motion to disqualify the judge who presided over the defamation trial the Kardashians recently won. Thing is ... Chyna's motion made no sense. If she wanted to press a bias claim, she needed to do so during the trial, and ask that the judge recuse himself. The trial is over, and her only recourse would be to ask for a new trial based on an improper ruling ... and she didn't ask fo...

Tom Cruise Allegedly Fired Twenty-One Pilots from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Soundtrack Before Lady Gaga Joined – IndieWire

A "wholesale swap" led to Lady Gaga boarding the project and penning the ballad "Hold My Hand." The sky just isn’t big enough for these dueling aviators. Twenty-One Pilots frontman Tyler Joseph alleged that “Top Gun: Maverick” producer and star Tom Cruise “fired” the band from the sequel film’s soundtrack. Joseph explained on Los Angeles-based radio station KROQ that he thought his Grammy-winning two-person band was flying high after being brought on by Paramount Pictures to contribute to the “Top Gun 2” soundtrack. However, Joseph said Cruise wasn’t a fan of the Pilots’ sound. “I was working with the music placement person for the new ‘Top Gun’ on writing a new song for them, and then I believe Tom Cruise came in and just fired everyone,” Joseph said. “You’ve seen that new ‘Top...

The Smart Set Sneered, but the Play Won the Day – The New York Times

Woollcott finally caught up with the show two years into its run, describing it in the New York Sun as “fair to middling and uneventful,” while adding that he was baffled by its success but also by his colleagues’ vitriol toward it. He finally credited its long run to its cultivation of those very audiences who typically steered clear of Broadway. In other words, “‘Abie’s Irish Rose’ has not only pleased its public,” he wrote. “It has created its public.” Today, revivals of the play, with its constant ethnic put-downs, are few and far between. Perhaps it is best known as part of a list of 20th-century arcana, alongside Brenda Frazier and Beebe’s Bathysphere, in the Sondheim song “I’m Still Here” from “Follies.” Interviews with the leaders of major Off Broadway theaters dedicated to excava...

The Lincoln Lawyer is a bloated legal drama that belongs in the early aughts – The A.V. Club

Neve Campbell and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in The Lincoln LawyerPhoto: Lara Solanki/Netflix Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer will scratch the itch for anyone unexplainably hankering for a tedious, low-stakes legal drama. Created by David E. Kelley, who plans to wring out his affinity for the genre to no end, it’s meant to be reminiscent of his early work like The Practice or Ally McBeal. Except in 2022, it just feels incredibly dated, like it should’ve aired on network TV in the aughts. The show’s diverse main lead aside, it offers nothing fresh or incisive. It’s not Boston Legal-level fun or entertaining, nor does it boast a seriously spectacular performance like Billy Bob Thornton in Goliath. To confirm: Those examples above are also Kelley-helmed legal dramas. And you can only beat that ...

“Succession” actor James Cromwell super-glued himself to a Starbucks counter as part of vegan milk protest – CBS News

James Cromwell, "Succession" actor and honorary director of PETA, superglued himself to a Starbucks counter in New York City on Tuesday. Cromwell glued his hand to the counter at a Midtown, Manhattan location to call on Starbucks to stop charging extra for vegan milk.  PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, live-streamed the "glue-in" on Facebook. The video shows several other protesters holding signs and chanting "save the planet, save the cows." Police officers showed up and asked the demonstrators to disperse.  Cromwell and another man, however, appeared to have stayed inside longer than other protesters, their hands stuck to the counter near the cash registers. They eventually freed their hands from the glue, as police officers watched. ...

Halsey is allergic to literally everything since giving birth and has been hospitalized multiple times – CNN

CNN  —  Halsey has revealed that they have received multiple diagnoses since giving birth last July. The singer, who prefers the pronouns she/they, posted a series of videos on their Instagram stories Tuesday explaining that “a lot of you guys have been wondering what’s going on with my health and some of you saw a TikTok yesterday basically confirming that I’m allergic to literally everything.” “Obviously my health has changed a lot since I got pregnant and giving birth,” they said. “I started getting really, really, really sick.” They gave birth last year to their first child, son Ender, with partner Alev Aydin. Since then the star has been “hospit...
