Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo just knows how to ‘work hard and play hard’. The Let Me Love You star revealed that he has been in a polyamorous relationship with three women. Ne-Yo has been vocal about the lifestyle while still claiming that it might not work for everyone and that he only advocates it for himself.

Ne-Yo has been in the news for all the wrong reasons for the past few years. His divorce with long-time partner Crystal Williams was finalized in 2023 and his former partner came out to talk about why they broke up and attributed it to Ne-Yo’s penchant for thr**somes. So, who are the three ‘wives’ of Ne-Yo?

"Aliens vs Avengers" sounds like a disposable crossover premise, and another way for Disney to flaunt its now-ownership over 20th Century Fox. Yet this comic has zagged whenever I expected it to zig.

Marvel brought out its A-List talent for the series, reuniting writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Esad Ribic from 2015's "Secret Wars" crossover. Rather than a simple beat 'em up, the comic has gone downright apocalyptic; a Xenomorph infestation reaches Earth and wipes almost the entire planet out.

The comics have been pulling quite a bit from Ridley Scott's underrated but essential prequel duology "Prometheus" and "Alien: Covenant" too. Hickman and Ribic tell us that, had the Engineers made it back to Earth in "Prometheus," not even the heroes of the Marvel Universe could've stopped their bio-weapons from ending humanity.

Now, Marvel has shared an exclusive look at "Aliens vs Avengers" #3 with /Film. This will be the...

General Hospital spoilers and updates for Thursday, February 13 tease job security, uncomfortable questions, and secret romances.

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) should worry about his job security, Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) gets uncomfortable questions, and Ava Jerome (Maura West) apparently doesn’t want to keep her romance secret!

Job Security

Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is anything but happy with Dante, she took exception to him hanging around the Pcpd when she told him to take a break.

Now she has to get tough, as she tells him if he wants a job to come back to, leave now! Dante just can’t seem to do as he’s told, even though he realizes he’s way too close to the case.

Anna knows that while Dante may think he can be objective about the murder investigations, he can’t. There is no way possible and Anna knows it.

Hours before the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles faced off for Super Bowl Lix, Team Ruff and Team Fluff vied for the Puppy Bowl Xxi championship on Sunday, February 9. The Animal Planet competition was both action-packed and adorable, but ultimately, one team reigned victorious. After hours of game time, Team Fluff defeated Team Ruff! The final score was 68-66. The Underdog Award went to a pup named Mercury, and Foxtrot was named the Most Valuable Puppy. Team Fluff’s Charlotte scored an historic moment during the game when scoring a touchdown and a field goal at the same time (aka bringing one toy into the end zone while kicking a second toy into it at the same time).

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is best known for tackling films with unique characters and creatures. He has received critical acclaim for his work on the 2022 stop-motion animation adaptation of the classic children’s fantasy novel Pinocchio. However, the film wasn’t the only adaptation of the beloved source material to be released that year.

Director Robert Zemeckis brought to life a different take on Pinocchio, with actor Tom Hanks playing the wooden doll’s creator, Geppetto. However, the film was panned by critics and audiences alike. In an interview, del Toro revealed the exact feature that is essential to making a good adaptation of the source material, proving why the Hanks-led version was a failure.

The Doc characters are wonderfully human, which often results in messy, emotional, and infuriating moments.

There wasn’t a single character on this series who didn’t drive me absolutely mad during Doc Season 1 Episode 5, except Jake. Jake is pretty consistently great.

Did Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy sweep land Drake in legal trouble? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Lamar’s sweeping victory, taking home all five awards he was nominated for with his hit ‘Not Like Us,’ could signal a turning point in his ongoing feud with Drake, which has only intensified over the years. The controversial track went on to win major accolades, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rap Performance, but the track’s underlying diss aimed at Drake took center stage. It also contained provocative lines accusing the 38-year-old rapper of being a “certified pedophile” and pursuing minors.

All of these actors are also extremely well-known faces from the industry, including Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, and more.

Christopher Nolan is currently busy perfecting his star cast for his upcoming movie, ‘The Odyssey.’ The feature film is an adaptation of the Greek epic poem written by Homer. The storyline revolves around the Greek King Odysseus and his struggle-filled journey to his home in Ithaca from the Trojan War. On that 10-year journey, Odysseus had to face many hurdles and interruptions from many people (including Gods). The plot also covers how his wife and son deal with aggressive suitors while the King has been away from his kingdom.

Nolan’s feature project already confirmed the lead star cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.

During an interview on Michelle Visage’s BBC podcast Rule Breakers, Cameron Diaz straight-up admitted that her skincare routine is… non-existent. “I literally do nothing. I like never wash my face… Twice a month if I’m lucky,” the 49-year-old actress confessed. Sounds like a whole new level of living, right?

Diaz went on to joke about her neglected “billion products” gathering dust on her shelf. But here’s the kicker: she’s so over the beauty routine grind. “One time works, right?” she laughed, saying she’s just not putting energy into skincare anymore. It’s like the anti-beauty regimen we all secretly wish we could embrace.

But it wasn’t always this easy for Diaz. On the podcast, she opened up about the pressure Hollywood and the beauty industry once put on her. “I am absolutely...

Survivor has been a fan-favorite reality show for over two decades. But while twists, advantages, and gameplay have evolved, Jeff Probst’s presence at Tribal Council has always been a steady force. His words have set the tone for some of the most dramatic moments in the game.

However, longtime fans have noticed that something is missing. A famous line that Probst used to say at every Tribal Council has quietly disappeared. It was a phrase that made each elimination feel final, yet it’s no longer part of the show.

Time travel is one of the pillars of the Terminator series, but the rules of going back in time are not quite easy to understand given the number of retcons that have happened throughout the franchise. While James Cameron’s The Terminator was not defined by its time travel element, we cannot deny that time machines and alternate timelines are part of the franchise’s DNA. A large portion of Terminator’s lore is built on time travel, including a couple of intentional paradoxes that would forever affect the franchise and its most important heroes.

Like every time travel movie, The Terminator and its sequels have a lot of plot holes and paradoxes. While some of these paradoxes are meant to be part of the story – such as the fact that Kyle Reese was always John Connor’s father – others happened simply because the rules of that universe were inconsistent.

Yukinobu Tatsu steered clear of many typical shonen tropes in Dandadan, but the training arc isn’t one of them. The training arcs mark an important point in the journey of shonen characters. and the central duo in Dandadan experienced it fairly early on in the story. Without a specific goal or extent in mind, Okarun and Momo followed Granny Seiko’s training.

What Seiko gave Okarun in terms of training was the formula of greatness, and many iconic anime characters have followed the same route. It’s the internet’s favorite workout routine! However, the character who introduced this special training routine was none other than Saitama from One Punch Man.

Okarun trains the Saitama way

In episode 3 of Dandadan, Granny Seiko takes Okarun and Momo under her wing to train them to grow stronger.

The second half of 2024 was graced by the release of Yukinobu Tatsu’s Dandadan anime series, which instantly became a fan favorite. Portraying the themes of occult and extraterrestrial elements, Dandadan has managed to make quite a big fanbase, and the majority of the credit goes to the protagonists of the series, Okarun and Momo Ayaase.

However, not every character managed to impress Dandadan fans and leave an impression on them. Aira Shiratori is one such character who somehow has turned the fans against her to the point where they even question her beliefs. According to the narrative, Aira believes that demons exist in real life, but fans don’t seem to care about her opinions.

But considering Dandadan’s central storyline, rejecting her beliefs about demons in a world full of aliens and spirits feels a little too harsh. Thus, a bunch of...

One of the most entertaining horror films released in 2013 was You’re Next, written by Simon Barrett and directed by Adam Wingard. It was a great mix of action, slasher horror and comedy, and it’s now one of the movies Wingard is known for.

Lionsgate has just announced that You’re Next is getting the 4K Uhd SteelBook treatment. The SteelBook for You’re Next includes 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and digital at a pre-order price of $39.99, only on Lionsgate Limited, which is their direct-to-consumer site.

You’re Next is about an extremely dysfunctional family getting together for a special dinner at their isolated vacation home in Missouri. Parents Aubrey and Paul are joined by sons Crispian, Drake and Felix, and daughter Aimee. Also along for the ride are the siblings’ significant others, including Crispian’s girlfriend Erin.

It’s almost immediately evident through their interactions that this family has some serious issues,...

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Rocket Raccoon's (Bradley Cooper) story is over, having beautifully concluded back in "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3." Doctor Doom's story, though, is just beginning, when Robert Downey Jr. makes his Marvel return playing a very different kind of "iron man" in 2026's "Avengers: Doomsday."

Yet, Marvel Comics is bringing this unlikely pair together for a special 40-page one-shot: "Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon" #1 — possibly the publisher's wildest crossover since "Aliens Vs Avengers" last year — and Marvel has shared an exclusive preview of the issue with /Film.

"Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon" #1 is written by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of the 1994 space opera TV show "Babylon 5" and a prolific comic book writer; "Jms" (as he's often nicknamed) just finished a run on "Captain America."

Julia Roberts was an ‘it-girl’ long before the word was even invented. The world was watching her and everyone either wanted to be her or with her. With one blockbuster coming out after another, she was the talk of the town and deserved every second of it. Amid this, it is only natural that rumors also entered the scene.

Being heavily covered by the media in the 90s’ and 2000s’, a large percentage of news about her had little credibility. One of the more well-known whispers about her personal life was that she was feuding with her Stepmom co-star, Susan Sarandon.

However, unlike other rumors, this was actually debunked by both actresses in the most iconic way possible.

Most fans know about the rumors of Megan and Morgan Wallen the famous celebrity she crushes over is not him. Morgan Wallen is an American country singer born on May 13, 1993, in Sneedville, Tennessee. Morgan originally had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, but injuries redirected his path from baseball to music.

He also competed in The Voice in 2014, and despite not winning he gained valuable exposure. Although Moroney has once confirmed her relationship with Morgan,...

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl sees a return to a beloved claymation animation franchise and, surprisingly, a subtle anecdote about police work. After decades, Aardman Animations and the BBC have returned for their latest collaboration, bringing back Wallace & Gromit with a new cast, along with other familiar faces and some fresh characters. Among those fresh characters is PC Mukherjee, a young policewoman under Chief Mackintosh's command who gets involved with the new case.

The Wallace & Gromit movies of the past have been primarily fun-loving and comedic, rarely touching on any important real-world material. The new film seems to broach two pertinent topics, examining the decision making on its police characters and offering some perspective on Artificial Intelligence. These undertones are rather subtle and not the main purpose of the movie, not deterring from the primary purpose which is to offer entertainment in a unique style of animation. Still,...

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl has officially broken a viewership record. The Aardman stop-motion animated feature is the first Wallace & Gromit movie in more than a decade, since the 2008 debut of the short film A Matter of Loaf and Death. It follows Wallace (Ben Whitehead) inventing a "smart gnome" named Norbot (Reece Shearsmith), though its programming turns deadly when it is hacked by his and Gromit's old enemy, the master criminal penguin Feathers McGraw, who originally appeared in the 1993 short film The Wrong Trousers.

Netflix’s top contender Emilia Pérez landed on 15 longlists — tying a record set by Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front two years ago and Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Barbie last year. Among its mentions were Best Film, Best Film Not in English Language, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Jacques Audiard, and four longlist nods for its quartet of actresses — with Karla Sofia Gascon hitting the lead actress longlist and co-stars Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz all appearing on the supporting actress longlist.

This is because the Version 5.4 beta tests have started. With them, a lot of information about the upcoming patch is starting to get leaked.

Looking back at this episode now, it’s incredible how the writers managed to create such memorable moments from something as mundane as New Year’s resolutions. Let’s dive deep into each character’s resolution and discover why Joey’s musical journey stands out as the comedic masterpiece of them all.

Oh, Monica (played by Courteney Cox)! In true Monica fashion, her resolution to document more group moments through photography isn’t just about taking pictures – it’s about capturing Every Single Moment perfectly. Throughout the episode, Monica’s obsession with her new film camera becomes increasingly apparent.

Supernatural certainly raised its stakes over the years. Starting the series off with a mere demon being the main antagonist, this drastically changes around the final seasons, with God, the Darkness, and a secret elite order of hunters called the Men of Letters. Considering how smooth the progression has been, fans cannot help but adore how far the Winchester brothers came from hunting a yellow-eyed demon.

However, one of the most iconic and beloved jumps that the series took when it came to stakes was when Castiel was introduced. Going from a pessimistic setting to suddenly finding out that angels were real and very socially awkward certainly did wonders for the brothers and the story itself.

With this, one cannot help but wonder where showrunner Eric Kripke got this idea from. During an interview, he confessed that the roots were, in fact, in the Star Wars franchise.

Mister Fear, one of Marvel's most dangerous Daredevil villains, has made his return to comics, suggesting that an MCU appearance could be in the works – especially considering the imminent release of Daredevil: Born Again, coming next year. Mister Fear would be a perfect fit for the new era of Daredevil on screen, and this appearance might just be the first step in a renaissance for the character.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024) #8 – written by Stephanie Phillips, with art by Paolo Villanelli – devolves into chaos as Mister Fear unleashes his version of a fear toxin upon the people of New York City.

As she investigates, Gwen also falls prey to the villain's nefarious substance, and it reacts with her symbiote suit, leaving her in a coma-like fear state. This is just a taste of what Mister Fear can do, and serves to get readers acquainted, or re-acquainted, with the long-time Daredevil villain ahead of a possible MCU role.

David Chase was inspired by both fictional mobsters and real-life gangsters when creating The Sopranos' protagonist Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). Drawing on fictional characters like Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), The Sopranos changed US television forever, and also added new layers to the gangster genre — tackling subjects like male mental health, and how the mob viewed homosexuality. The Sopranos was also heavily influenced by the real-world crime families associated with the Mafia in contemporary America. For example, an early scene in The Sopranos season 1 sees Tony quizzed on real-life mobster John Gotti.

It's the fact that the influence of these real-world gangsters bleeds into the show that has convinced viewers there's a "real" Tony Soprano. While it's more likely that David Chase amalgamated various fictional and real gangsters to create Tony Soprano, there are several candidates for the real-life inspiration behind James Gandolfini's Sopranos character. The real-life gangster who is most...

After winning a final four fire-making challenge that longtime Survivor host Jeff Probst deemed “the most dramatic, nail-biting, could-go-either-way showdown” he’s ever seen, Sam Phalen entered the Final Tribal Council of Survivor 47 with a rather convincing case, ready to battle Rachel Lamont and Sue Smey for the title of "Sole Survivor" and the million-dollar prize.

Despite his efforts — slandering Rachel's gameplay to try to give himself a leg up on his competition — Rachel emerged victorious in a 7-1-0 vote nevertheless, with Sam receiving just one vote from Kyle Ostwald.

Although he finished in second place, it's safe to say that the Final Tribal Council of Survivor 47 was a battle (thanks to Sam), with the final three taking "jabs" at one another any chance that they could. After all, Sam was not confident he could beat Rachel in the end...

Just like other hero shooters, NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals also allows players to express themselves through unique banners a.k.a nameplates/ However, some basic nameplates can only be purchased using Units. A viral post has highlighted that NetEase Games could’ve just allowed players to unlock nameplates through progression.

Giving players the opportunity to unlock these unique items through progression would have encouraged players to spend more time playing the game with specific heroes. It makes sense why NetEase Games put these items behind a paywall as it aims to generate revenue through in-game purchases but some basic items should be unlocked by leveling up.

The people behind HGTV's Fixer to Fabulous are at the forefront of an ongoing lawsuit. The HGTV reality show follows a couple, Dave and Jenny Marrs, who renovate homes in their native Bentonville, Arkansas. Dave specializes in crafting and contracting, while Jenny is focused on creating welcoming interiors. Premiering in 2019, Fixer to Fabulous's success has launched a spinoff, Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano, and the Marrs also star in another HGTV show, Rock the Block. However, the outcome of the lawsuit against the Marrs could impact Fixer to Fabulous.

It's worth noting that the lawsuit doesn't directly name the reality show, or Dave or Jenny Marr. However, it does name Jupiter Rentals and Marrs Construction, both owned by Dave Marr, as defendants. Despite media coverage, the Marrs have yet to comment on the lawsuit publicly (via Collider). However, Fixer to Fabulous is gearing up to air its sixth season...

Legal dramas have long been a staple of television, from the slick courtroom theatrics of Law & Order to the cutthroat maneuvers on The Good Wife.

But before we had Jack McCoy or Alicia Florrick, there was The Defenders, a 1960s legal drama that broke new ground — and taboos.

Unlike its contemporaries, The Defenders wasn’t just about winning cases or dramatic courtroom moments. It was a show with a conscience, unafraid to tackle the controversial issues of its time.

Abortion, civil rights, war crimes — no topic was off-limits.

At a time when TV often shied away from controversy, The Defenders leaned in, proving that television could not only entertain but also challenge its audience.

Let’s examine how this quiet revolution unfolded and why The Defenders remains a landmark in TV history.

This sponsored post was created in partnership with viagogo.

With just a few weeks left in the year, it seems like everybody is looking back at the last 12 months and taking inventory of their 2024 (we certainly are!). viagogo, the world’s largest secondary ticket marketplace for live events, has decided to join in on the fun, as they’ve revealed the best-selling touring artists that blew through the United Kingdom in 2024.

Topping the list, perhaps unsurprisingly, is none other than Taylor Swift, whose “Eras Tour” brought in a record-breaking $2 billion in ticket sales over the course of its many legs (making it the biggest tour in history). As a bonus, viagogo also listed out the cities in the UK with the “most devoted swifties,” or, in English, the places that bought the most Taylor Swift tickets. For that honor, London takes the top spot, with Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, and Edinburgh following in that order.

On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.

Kannappa Movie Release Delayed Updates (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The much-anticipated Telugu film Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu and produced by Mohan Babu, has been generating buzz. It is a fantasy film rooted in mythology. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film is based on the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva, Kannappa, and was initially scheduled for an April release next year.

However, recent developments suggest a possible postponement. The reason is that there are disputes in Manchu’s family.

With Manchu Vishnu preoccupied with family matters, particularly conflicts surrounding Mb University and family properties, speculation has arisen that he might not be able to oversee Kannappa’s post-production work effectively. No official announcement about a delay has been made so far, but industry insiders suggest that the film’s timeline could be affected.
