Cats is a ridiculous premise of a story. Even Hal Prince, a father of modern musical theater, didn’t get it. It’s basically a the first third of a heist movie where we meet all the characters for three hours. So it makes perfect sense that the trailer was met with extreme skepticism. This is a sign of a healthy…
To prep for our interview with Marlo Hampton, I found myself reminiscing about some of her greatest reads on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. There was the time she told Shamari DeVoe her reunion dress looked like she got it from a discount store for tweens. There’s also her epic battle with Sheree Whitfield, during…
It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing Elle Woods, but Reese Witherspoon says she had to work a little extra to convince people that she’d be right for the bubbly, secretly genius sorority girl. Specifically, she needed to convince casting directors she could be a hottie.
After the success of Lifetime’s docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” the network is back with a sequel “Surviving R. Kelly Part II: The Reckoning” that will feature a new interview with survivor Dominique Gardner, parents of girls and women connected to R. Kelly, and cover the latest developments in the R&B singer’s…
A few months ago, I was reporting on a porn set and watched a woman performer repeatedly deliver the following pivotal line until she reached the perfect inflection and degree of intensity: “What would you do if nothing were holding you back?” “What would you do if nothing were holding you back?” “What would you do…
Three friends recommended the movie Moonstruck to me with a fervor that was so strange, I had to submit. One of them posed preliminary questions to gauge my interest: Do you like Cher? Do you like old people? Do you like Nicolas Cage? The answer to all of these questions was, of course, YES! Old people are funny, and…
If you find the feeling of your skin crawling all over your body exhilarating, or if you like to cringe so hard that your core gets a workout, have I got the show for you. I have been a fan of Disney+’s Encore! since it debuted along with the streaming service in November, but the most recent episode was simply such a…
For some, mid-December is a time to put aside differences and focus on a mutual goal: survive work, buy gifts for loved ones, and take a deep breath before the holiday festivities. If you are Eminem or Nick Cannon—and as of this week, 50 Cent—that is not the case. They’re ending the decade with manufactured hatred.…
Here are some places I heard Michael Jackson’s music this year, after the two-night run of Leaving Neverland in early March: At a Chili’s in Las Vegas’s McCarran International Airport (“Rock With You”), at a “haunted” indoor mini-golf course in Colorado (“Thriller”), at a friend’s 40th birthday party in a South Jersey…
The Irishman is a pretty good movie. It is also, at 210 minutes a very long movie, one some people, not me, but some people, might call too long, in fact. (OK, fine, it is me.)
Oh boy. While not exactly the endlessly morphing disaster that was Patti LaBelle’s now-classic performance of “This Christmas” at the 1996 National Tree Lighting ceremony (you know you want to watch it again), Dionne Warwick and Aloe Blacc’s rendition of the song on Tuesday’s Good Morning America was its own little…
In a follow-up to our interview with In Fabric director Peter Strickland, one of the film’s stars, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, tells Jezebel what it was like to enter the bizarre world of killer dresses and cultlike department stores in the strangest movie she’s ever filmed.
Clint Eastwood’s latest movie is called Richard Jewell, and it’s about (big surprise) Richard Jewell, the security guard who was a suspect in the bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. The movie, which chronicles the utter shitshow surrounding Jewell’s non-involvement in the bombing, also takes extreme…
Here’s why D.B. Weiss and David Benioff should be canceled. Follow Jezebel’s Cancel Tournament to see what ultimately gets canceled
What do you call something that is equal parts surprise and delight and that you had no idea you needed before you received it? You call it a gift, and that’s what I’m calling Amy Sedaris’s guest role on the most recent episode of Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
Retail therapy has never been such a horrifying proposition than it is in British filmmaker Peter Strickland’s fourth feature In Fabric. It concerns an enchanted, “artery red” dress that curses all who wear it. Set in 1993, it’s both earnest and off-the-wall, a story about the mundanity of middle age (Marianne…
It’s awards season, baby! And I must learn yet again that awards statues are not big chocolate bars wrapped in gold foil :(.
The trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 dropped over the weekend, and it has everything: a New Order soundtrack, Kristin Wiig’s gold wire-rimmed glasses, Pedro Pascal not in a helmet, and Chris Pine, somehow not dead even though (spoiler alert!) his character drove a big bomb into the sky nearly 70 years before this film’s…
