The Mandalorian’s second episode of the season sets the stage for a lot of plot to come—which is well and good and something we should definitely talk more about. But that’s not what we’re here for. We’re here for the Baby Yoda updates.

In the Dr. Seuss children’s book Horton Hears a Who!, Horton the elephant goes to great lengths to protect the planet of Whoville, so tiny that it exists on a single speck of dust. It turns out, though, that Horton should have been worried about himself, too: According to new research on island-dwelling species, the tiniest and largest are most threatened with extinction.

The world is continuing to learn how to live with COVID-19, but we’re still caught under the alarming specter of new variants. A single new strain with more ferocious infectivity and danger could send the world back into a public health emergency, including renewed lockdowns and a resurgence in remote work and education. To that end, there’s been no shortage of work among researchers to design a COVID vaccine that could safeguard people from... Читать дальше...

Jennifer Lawrence is making a major career comeback. Though her most recent films, 2021’s Don’t Look Up and last year’s Causeway, have been competitors during awards season, her latest film appears to be a hard left turn. In No Hard Feelings, the Oscar-winner stars as a sex-positive young woman, who needs some extra cash—and is willing to go to extreme lengths to get that dough.

In the engrossing murder mystery’s first season full of engrossing murder mysteries, Poker Face hasn’t shied away from any serious adult subjects. From full-frontal male nudity and threesomes to (literally) head-splitting murders, the show has proven its willingness to dip into gross, sexual, and frightening material. In fact, part of what makes the show so alluring is this dark—yet—hilarious tone.

The rich, powerful and famous often think they’re above the law, and in Hollywood, that’s resulted in an enormous market for shadowy operatives willing to bend (if not outright break) the rules for clients. In that ugly arena in the ’80s and ’90s, no one was more highly coveted than Anthony Pellicano, a Chicago-born private investigator who became “Mr. Fix-It to the Stars”—until his widespread wiretapping business landed him behind bars.

It’s about a week before Top Chef’s 20th season premiere, and Buddha Lo is taking a break from his busy schedule as executive chef of New York City’s HŪSO, a “12-seat caviar speakeasy” that currently has a waitlist more than 3,000 people long. Many of those diners are lining up precisely because of Lo’s status as winner of the reality competition show’s previous season, in which he wowed judges Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, and Gail Simmons with an unapologetically elevated finale meal...

Not all Oscars categories are created equally. If you’re keeping up with our current awards cycle, you’ve most likely seen or at least heard of the feature-length films nominated at this year’s Academy Awards. Unless you’re a committed film buff, you’re likely less familiar with the short films that are being considered. It certainly doesn’t help that the Oscars chose not to televise the presentation of these categories last year.

I remember being characteristically excited when it was announced that Anne Hathaway and James Franco would be hosting the 2011 Oscars telecast. This was, after all, before the baffling Hathaway Hate Train flew off the tracks. It was also prior to Franco going from silly stoner to disgraced actor after years of abuse allegations came out against him.

Someone get Seth Meyers a bowl of popcorn, as watching Tucker Carlson’s utter contempt for Donald Trump be exposed—one snark-filled text at a time—is his new White Lotus. “The only thing I thought Tucker Carlson was capable of hating with a passion were female M&M’s who were a 7 or lower,” the Late Night host joked on Wednesday.
