I have not yet been blessed with the pleasure of seeing Mariah Carey in concert, though I've heard its quite the experience. At this point, this video of Mariah and James Corden driving around "listening to the radio" and singing along is the closest I'll get for some time. And since Corden chose to play mostly…
Last night was the series finale of Nick Kroll's Comedy Central series, Kroll Show. It was short but sweet—just three seasons of sketch comedy television parody. It took us into the alternate TV Universe of Nick Kroll's weird brand of comedy. It was a cable TV universe that is much like the one that exists in reality,…
Broadcast networks are in the midst of casting the pilots from which they'll be picking their show lineups for the upcoming fall season, and Nellie Andreeva, Deadline's veteran TV writer, is worried. Why? Because, on the heels of minority-lead series seeing sky-high Nielsen ratings, television is in danger of…
Patti Patti (the preferred name you're supposed to scream during one of LaBelle's shows) is murdering the competition on Dancing with the Stars. The singer chose 50 Cent's "In Da Club" for the show's "My Jam Monday" competition and proved that just because she's almost 70 doesn't mean she can't shake it. Hard.
The Justice Department's investigation into the Ferguson, Mo. police department determined that, among other things, the department and local courts treated policing as a way to make money for the city, with a disproportionate share of that burden falling on black residents. But Ferguson isn't an isolated case:…
Her throat was slashed. Then she died. In the words of Robert Durst, "Bye bye." :(
Empire wrapped its spectacular, record-breaking first season last night with a two-hour finale. If you've been glued to FOX every Wednesday at 9 p.m. for the last 11 weeks, one thing is very clear: Empire is undeniable.
"I get a lot of messages from people about it," Hannibal Buress told Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday night in reference to his routine about Bill Cosby's history of sexually assaulting women. But they can be funny! (Well, funny because he is.)
Actor Jessica Lange is very good at doing little to say a lot about her peers, and that, my friends, is shade. Take, for example, the time that she steamrolled over Lea Michele on a red carpet, visibly crushing Michele's heart in the process. Wasn't that fun? Lange was back up to her old tricks this week at Paleyfest…
Comedian Kathy Griffin is taking a stand. After a seven-episode stint, she quit E!'s reliably savage roundtable gabfest Fashion Police with a socially conscious flourish, calling herself a feminist whose positive message didn't "fit with the creative direction of the show."
In the painfully awkward clip above from tonight's All In with Chris Hayes, a black woman imitated a black man whom she believed to be a white man imitating a black man. All this interaction was missing was two triple venti half-sweet non-fat Caramel Macchiatos.
Last night Dancing with the Stars premiered its 200th anniversary show, and one of the top contenders for the coveted mirrorball trophy appears to be a pair of breasts that also happen to have a woman attached.
To mark Barack Obama's visit to his show last week, Jimmy Kimmel sent a Lie Witness crew out to Hollywood Boulevard again to see what unbelievable bullshit about the president people would, in fact, believe if faced with a camera and microphone.
Natalia Kills is the walking definition of "I don't know her," and now people will have even less opportunity to make her acquaintance. According to The Guardian, the electropop singer and her husband (and fellow singer) Willy Moon were fired from X Factor New Zealand as a result of a "destructive tirade" that…
Contract negotiations between David Lynch and Showtime are apparently not going very well: Lynch told a gallery of people this weekend, "I'm not sure at this point if [Twin Peaks is] happening" because of "complications."
It's time again for March Madness, the NCAA's annual college basketball tournament/billion-dollar reminder that student-athletes still don't get paid a damn thing, despite the daily risk of injury and the fact that their labor generates ludicrous piles of cash for their not-technically-employers.
Justin Bieber, sacrificing himself on the altar of comedy in an attempt to reform his image as a feral child raised by a kindly pack of Maxim back-issues, taped his official Comedy Central roast on Saturday. Was it the PR move he so transparently hoped it would be, immolating the world's most prominent…
There's something weird going on with The Jinx's timeline.
Obviously the clip above contains major spoilers. If you have been following The Jinx but haven't yet watched its final episode, go do that before reading this or anything else on the internet. If you haven't been following The Jinx and haven't yet watched its final episode, reevaluate your life, and then go watch…
Well, Lena Dunham's Scandal guest appearance is happening and you can't stop it. Here's a peek at next week's plot, which involves Dunham's character writing a tell-all book that threatens Washington.
