Fans of the 2005 feature length Wallace and Gromit outing, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, may experience pangs of déjà vu when encountering this new Aardman animated feature, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. It seems that the lads down at the beloved British animation house has deemed that two decades is enough time passed to justify retooling their old properties, rehashing the story nearly beat-for-beat while relocating the action to the sunny rural outpost of Mossy Bottom Farm.This sense of familiarity, plus the feeling that the largely delightful world of Shaun the Sheep may be running out of creative…

This article has been updated with a new statement from Robert Kraft.Last week, Macklemore said that he had been ousted as an opener on the U.S. leg of Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour after calling for a free Palestine onstage. Now, the rapper has pledged to donate $1 million of his net earnings from the tour to six organizations supporting Palestinian aid. “I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom,” Macklemore said on Instagram.The Ben artist also invited…
“Ted Lasso” turns its attention this week to a reality that the AFC Richmond men’s team has never had to confront: For the women, playing professional football doesn’t necessarily provide financial security.

Shannon is still delivering for Uber Eats. And Gemma, who hasn’t given up on law school, lands an interview for an internship at a prestigious firm — but…

Time keeps getting away from us. It has a fraught relationship with our subjective experience — sometimes slowing down or dragging on; and at other times speeding up, with years seeming to fly by as we get older. Our brain cells are even known to distort our sense of time when we’re tired.In physics, time gets even more complicated, incorporated into theories of relativity — the experience of the clock’s ticking being relative to the observer and their place in space — and entropy, which gives time its unidirectional flow. Meanwhile quantum mechanics indicates time can move both forwards and…
Jamie McPhee is criticizing the Television Academy after her late husband’s name was left out of the Emmys’ In Memoriam tribute. McPhee’s husband, James Ransone, played Ziggy Sobotka in The Wire and died by suicide in December 2025. McPhee addressed Ransone’s exclusion from the awards season on her Instagram stories on Monday night, according to Entertainment Weekly. This marks the second time this year that Ransone was left out of an In Memoriam tribute, as he was also excluded from the Oscars segment back in March. “My husband James Ransone was not acknowledged in memoriam at tonight’s Emmys,” McPhee wrote.…

Prime Video The Prime Video series “Reacher” may be a massive ratings success — so much so that it was greenlit for Season 5 before Season 4 even premiered — but not every season is created equal. Some thrilled viewers, whether they’d read the books or not; others disappointed pretty much everyone. The good news is that “Reacher” can survive the occasional disappointing outing. The show is basically an anthology series where nothing is permanent except its lead character, which means that, if you don’t like how one season’s going,…
Fact: New Yorkers have great style 365 days a year. When fashion week rolls into town, however, the outfits are a real sight to behold. This season, the industry’s top editors, critics, buyers, influencers, and models all brought their A game to New York Fashion Week, and these pictures prove it.After sifting through hundreds of street style images captured in the past week, I noticed a few prominent themes. On one end of the spectrum, bold dressers are seemingly enthralled with one specific animal print. No, it’s not leopard! Tiger print is the pattern of choice these days, and I’m…
For Hollywood stars, press junkets are an opportunity to promote new work while connecting with fans. They tell funny or embarrassing stories about one another, give us a glimpse into the film production process, and reveal mannerisms that make them more relatable.So why would anyone want to talk to Tilly Norwood, an interactive, British-accented digital character and “actor” developed with generative artificial intelligence by Xicoia, an AI division of a studio called Particle 6 Group? It’s a fair enough question considering that it does not exist in our physical realm and will never appear in a movie that any halfway…

The rings around a strange small body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus look mysteriously different from previous views, new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest.The rings encircle Chariklo, which is a centaur, a strange type of object that shows characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Chariklo is only about 400 miles (250 kilometers) in diameter and is part of a large group of tiny objects in the distant solar system.Scientists first discovered Chariklo’s rings in 2013 — making it the first small solar system body found to have rings — and studied them with ground-based telescopes again…
The titular last photograph in Zack Snyder’s morally vile, intellectually void, badly made and interminably dull The Last Photograph is a nude. Ethan Black (Stuart Martin) once shared a moment of instinctive, animal passion with his brother’s bride Catherine (Costanza Andrade) while driving her back to “graduate school at Georgetown,” but both knew it couldn’t last. As a parting gift, she gifted him a rosary and posed for a Polaroid, something by which he’ll always be able to remember this moment out of time. Right before he takes the snap, she pulls her top down, like Judy Greer in Arrested Development: Say goodbye to these, because it’s the…
Now that My Chemical Romance have wrapped the North American leg of their “Long Live”: The Black Parade Tour, we need some answers.The band told fans during a Sept. 12 show in San Antonio that it would be the last of the current leg of their tour.

Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images The 2026 Emmy Awards included its annual “In Memoriam” tribute, honoring many of the actors and creatives who’ve recently died, but it left out several notable names, including actors Robert Redford and Nicholas Brendon. Although Redford, who died September 16, 2025, was best known as a film star, he also had numerous television credits throughout his career. Meanwhile, Brendon, who died March 20, 2026, was best known for “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Redford and Brendon weren’t the only stars absent from the segment. The broadcast tribute also…

Awards season is upon us, and all week long, the National Book Award judges will be releasing their 2026 longlists across five categories. These are among the most prestigious honors bestowed upon books in a given year. The National Book Awards began in 1936 by the American Booksellers Association, took a break during World War II, and then resumed under the leadership of several collaborating book industry organizations in 1950. A few decades later, the National Book Foundation took over, with the goal of ensuring these books are not only honored but that their impact is felt across the country…
The saying that “all roads lead to Rome” may be famous, but a new study finds it’s far from true. Extensive new research of the Roman Empire’s road system reveals that several other Roman cities were better connected than the Eternal City was during antiquity.Major cities like Antioch, Ancyra (modern-day Ankara) and Byzantium in what is now Turkey, as well as Corinth in Greece, were “better located than Rome” for those traveling by land, the team wrote in a paper published Tuesday (Sept. 15) in the journal Nature Communications.At its height in A.D. 117, the Roman Empire covered almost 2.1…
Tom Cruise has revealed the most challenging movie character he’s ever played, and it’s not what most fans may think. The Hollywood star will next be seen in an ambitious project by Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Making an honest confession on his toughest role, Cruise named Digger, the title character he portrays in the upcoming dark comedy. Speaking in an interview with GQ, he said, “It is the culmination of all my skills. I’ve never done it before. Everything that I’ve done has been very thought-out, why I did it. I have personal goals and challenges with everything I…
After New Order drummer Stephen Morris recently revealed to Rolling Stone that he was in the throes of a “pretty serious” illness, the band have now offered a clarifying statement confirming that it’s keyboardist and Morris’ wife Gillian Gilbert who is currently battling cancer, not Morris. The group provided an update via a post on their Facebook page titled “A MESSAGE FROM GILLIAN.” It reads: “Thank you everyone who has reached out following Stephen’s recent interview with Rolling Stone. We have both been incredibly touched by all the kind words and well wishes. I would like to gently clarify a misunderstanding…

The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s bid to impose severe restrictions on mail-in voting just weeks ahead of the midterms.The court, which was divided 7-2, with conservative justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting, upheld a lower court’s injunction blocking the United States Postal Service from implementing new rules around who can receive a mail-in ballot ahead of November’s vote.Under this new rule, states would have had to submit lists of eligible voters to the Postal Service, which would then confirm that ballots were sent only to people on that list. The USPS does not typically hold such…
From the Cyclops Cave by Don Schofield “Schofield’s memoir suggests that childhood trauma can leave a person similarly one-eyed, stuck seeing an old wound from only one angle. Writing this book, it seems, was his way of opening a second eye, and he does so with grace, emotional precision and compassion for his younger self, his flawed father and the parts of himself still struggling in the present.” From the Cyclops Cave is a memoir written by Don Schofield where an American poet, long settled in Greece, rents a house on the island of Kýthnos that the locals call “the…
A volcanic eruption 22 million years ago froze a snapshot of the Andes in their youth, revealing a slow-and-steady formation of this formidable mountain range.The eruption, which originated from the Lauca Caldera in what is now northern Chile, blanketed the landscape in a formation known as ignimbrite. This rock is left over after a pyroclastic flow — a mix of rock, volcanic gas and ash that sweeps over the landscape like a broiling tsunami. Pyroclastic flow is what buried the Roman town of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, preserving buildings and people where they fell.Now,…
Mentored by Jessica Hausner and a former assistant to Michael Haneke, German filmmaker Jannis Lenz certainly has the pedigree to announce a bold new talent. Such experience comes through in his feature debut, Oasis, in which three teenagers find a strange sense of community through rituals of shared pain. Lukas (Florian Geißelmann), Andi (Anton Petzold) and Maja (Mathida Smidt) are initially brought together by a shared interest in paint balling; their complex personal lives don’t seem to matter when they’re together. Andi is a recent transplant with a mean temper who’s having trouble fitting in at school, leading to a recent personal violation by his classmates; as…
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has spent its 22nd total week atop the Billboard Hot 100, tying the all-time record held by Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” If Langley’s out-of-the-blue country smash holds its position for one more week—as it seems on track to do—it will officially become the longest-running No. 1 single in U.S. chart history.For 23 years, Carey’s own “One Sweet Day,” a duet with Boyz II Men from her 1995 album Daydream, held the title she now shares with Langley, with 16 weeks spent at No. 1. Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” remix,…
Sunnydale was well-represented at the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, with Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reuniting on stage to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” “It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ premiered,” Boreanaz began, to which Gellar replied, “Yes. For those of you keeping track at home, I had just turned two.” The duo then poked fun at the ludicrous age gap between their characters, human Buffy and vampire Angel: “When you think about it, it’s kind of crazy,” Boreanaz said. “A teenage girl chosen by fate to…
