Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kristin Davis are all tempering expectations around Kim Cattrall’s much-hyped cameo in the current second season of And Just Like That… As Sex and the City fans well know, Cattrall was not invited to join AJLT, the HBO show’s Max revival, after she said she was done playing Samantha Jones and after her public falling-out with Parker. As Variety revealed last month, however, Cattrall did agree to a cameo in AJLT Season 2 at the request of HBO & Max CEO Casey Boys. Francois Durand/Getty Images The news came as a thrill to SATC…

At long last, a sandwich made with lab-grown chicken may be on the menu—at least if you live in the U.S. Last week the U.S. Department of Agriculture granted its first-ever approval of cell-cultured meat produced by two companies, GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods. Both grow small amounts of chicken cells into slabs of meat—no slaughter required. It was the final regulatory thumbs-up that the California-based companies needed in order to sell and serve their products in the U.S. The approval comes less than a year after the Food and Drug Administration declared the companies’ products safe to eat, and…

Steel Panther electrify America’s Got Talent in a clip of their audition for the 18th season of the Simon Cowell-led talent show that premieres Tuesday (May 30).

(We suggest you do both.)But what did the celebrity panel of AGT judges think of the band’s tongue-in-cheek metal?According to the video description, Steel Panther’s audition was a “hit” for the judges — Cowell, comedian Howie Mandel, model Heidi Klum and actress Sofía Vergara. But when watching the clip,…

“How did you two lovebirds meet?” “Oh, we were isolated in ‘pods’ and couldn’t see each other, but we talked and talked and got engaged and then we connected in person.” With that ripe-for-drama premise, Netflix’s Love Is Blindhas become a reality smash. Even when the reality dating show isn’t trying to be dramatic, it is. The Season 4 reunion was meant to be streamed live on Netflix on April 16, but technical issues led to nearly an hour-long delay. When the reunion finally commenced, the cast certainly kept the drama going. A solid handful of Love Is Blind couples…

House of the Dragon episode 9 — out now on HBO Max and Disney+ Hotstar — isn’t the traditional penultimate episode that Game of Thrones had gotten us used to. There are no big set-pieces here (with that dragon at the end more a sign of things to come). And this new episode doesn’t wrap up any long-running storylines (which, on Game of Thrones, opened up the finale to set the table for the next season). In fact, it’s an extremely contained episode. Set during the two days immediately following the death of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), House of…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Irony has become a medium for the spread of toxic ideas online, a new analysis shows. The use of irony is growing in both contemporary politics and radical online communities because it helps people to make sense of and navigate major political and economic changes, researchers have said. Ideas, jokes, memes, images are emerging as an animating force for new social movements and are now inextricably intertwined with the rise of the alt-right. The study says examining irony can help understand how recent influential political coalitions, such as the Brexit campaign, are held together even though…

It’s a perfectly sunny day, with a clear blue sky. The pilot just announced that your flight has reached cruising altitude, so the seat belt sign has been turned off. Passengers are moving about the cabin. Suddenly the plane starts shaking. You instinctively grab the arm of your chair. Passengers who have stood up brace themselves. A baby starts crying. A minute later the alarm passes, your body relaxes, and you exhale deeply. Then the plane drops like a rock. Your stomach leaps into your throat. But there’s no storm outside, not even clouds. What’s going on? This clear-air turbulence,…

The use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood is a hot-button topic, whether it’s the WGA demanding a ban on the use of AI bots during the current writers strike or recent criticism over Marvel using it to create the opening credits for Secret Invasion. Director Guillermo del Toro recently dismissed fears about AI at an informal sitdown in Portland over the weekend, saying we should instead be more concerned with “natural stupidity.” The sound bite comes from a chat with curator Amy Dotson at the Portland Art Museum in Oregon, during which the Pan’s Labyrinth mastermind shared his thoughts (via IndieWire) about the…

By Lauren Knowles Date June 23, 2023 It’s been two days since the summer solstice marked the official start of the season, and that warrants an upgrade of our hair removal tools in preparation for a summer of showing a little more skin. When it comes to an act as intimate as shaving, extra caution must be taken, and there’s much to be considered. Will I develop razor burn? Skin irritation? Does this device work for my skin type? Which razor can I use on my bikini line? Does this thing remove peach fuzz?…
