Primarily, the women were seen indulging in hot dogs, but let’s clarify that was only my friend Erika Jayne. I find myself more connected to Erika Jayne in this episode than any other Housewife. Just like her, I don’t particularly enjoy hot dogs, but once a year, I crave an authentic American barbecue filled with hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, and banana pudding. Erika was present at this gathering not for drama, but for her annual hot dog, a full-sugar Coke, and pushing others to move past their nonsense because she’s tired of the repetitive arguments every week. In many ways, Erika is me, particularly due to our shared affection for showing up at parties dressed in “provocative American” attire.

To clarify, the central pairings under discussion are Mason Horacek and Meg Fink, as well as Alex Brown and Madison Errichiello. These four individuals dominated most of episodes 1 through 6. Mason had relationships with both Madison and Meg, while Madison was involved with both Mason and Alex. Meg is a follower of Joe Rogan who bonded with Mason over their shared appreciation for the movie Her. Madison is an artist who discusses her work openly, which often involves references to ‘creampies.’ Alex is a highly anxious individual who tends to be attracted to women who are emotionally unavailable. In the end, Madison ended her relationship with Mason and opted for Alex, but this didn’t last due to Alex’s concerns about Madison’s emotional distance. Consequently, Mason and Meg also parted ways because Meg felt insecure and unsure of Mason’s feelings, leading to their break-up. In a span of just two dates, the most intriguing couples of the season have vanished, leaving us with one couple grappling with a five-year age difference and another embroiled in a church dispute. Frankly, it’s becoming quite dull!

In a world overflowing with celebrities striving for our spotlight, Harrison Ford stands out not just as an antique piece but as an extraordinary exception – the movie star who genuinely seems to dislike being in the limelight. This aloofness has been a significant part of his allure, as he often appears miserable during promotional events, even for films he enjoys. When interviewed by GQ for Blade Runner 2049, Ford succinctly described his approach to press tours: “I think it’s always better not to talk about [the work], I just suggest doing it. Don’t explain it. Especially if you’re getting away with it.” Ford’s distaste for the intricacies of fame is both endearing and amusing – he may very well be the most charmingly grumpy public figure apart from Larry David.

In 2018, during an interview on the Australian talk show “Interview”, Pearce referred to Spacey as a “handsy guy” following the initial allegations against him. During that conversation, he said, “Tough one to talk about at the moment. Amazing actor; incredible actor. Mmm. Slightly difficult time with Kevin, yeah,” later adding, “Thankfully, I was 29, and not 14.” Now, Pearce shares a different account of how he felt when Spacey’s allegations first surfaced. “I was in London working on something, and I heard [the reports] and I broke down and sobbed, and I couldn’t stop,” he said. “I think it really hit me then the impact that had occurred and how I either shelved it or blocked it out.” Reflecting on the difference between now and his initial interview, Pearce stated, “I just try to be more honest about it now and call it for what it is.

Following its premiere at Cannes, “The Substance” has garnered recognition as a chilling body-horror film, earning five Oscar nominations for Fargeat in categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. As depicted by Fargeat in “The Substance”, Los Angeles is not so much a physical location (the movie was filmed entirely in France) as it is the concept of “Hollywood”. This portrayal presents a recognizable yet disconnected reality, reminiscent of a fairy tale, where characters enact a cautionary tale that reflects our deepest fears and desires. Demi Moore plays Elisabeth Sparkle, an aging actress grappling with her obsolescence, encouraged by Dennis Quaid’s character, who is inspired by Harvey Weinstein. In search of rejuvenation, Elisabeth undergoes “the substance”, a revolutionary procedure that results in the emergence of Sue (Margaret Qualley) from her spine. Along with Sue’s birth comes a set of rules: The pair must exchange places every seven days. Overdrawing from one side can lead to an unpayable debt.

“I do have walls up, but those walls could not be up.”

Surprisingly, everyone retires for the night upon arriving back, foregoing what could have been additional amusement and, maybe, a glimpse of Captain Jason in a slender silk robe that I initially believed was a figment of my imagination. In the morning, Harry resumes the custom from last season of charming his admirers by brewing them coffee and sharing a moment with Bri in the crew mess. The chat was pleasant, albeit a tad uneasy. To safeguard my chances with a guile reminiscent of an Edith Wharton heroine, Wihan directly queries Bri about her feelings for Harry. “I truly appreciate his character,” she replies, echoing a phrase she will use repeatedly throughout this episode. In an attempt to explore other potential connections on board, Wihan decides to shift gears and investigate chemistry with someone else.

Harvey Weinstein was tricked by people he trusted, and obtained a $45 million loan by falsely claiming it would save The Weinstein Company,” Weinstein’s attorney said to THR. The lawsuit alleges that Bob and Glasser negotiated with AI International Holdings to absolve themselves from responsibility for the loan taken out in Weinstein’s name. The Weinstein Company went bankrupt in 2018, following sexual assault accusations. Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape in 2020 in New York, and again in 2023 in California. However, the New York conviction was overturned in 2024, and he is now awaiting a retrial this April.

In simpler and more conversational terms: The award-winning show “Last Week Tonight” is back, and it’s clearly not in a good mood. John Oliver spent the entire episode reviewing the chaotic month of Trump 2.0 (it feels like we’ve aged decades in just a month). He also criticized the Democrats for being idle, stating, “Now … Read more

50th anniversary of SNL was a significant milestone, honoring those involved while maintaining its comedic edge. The importance of the event was widely communicated, from Olympics promos last summer to numerous documentaries in recent weeks. However, it’s worth emphasizing that SNL is more than just a source of jokes or a platform for music; it’s an archive chronicling American history, reflecting conversations, fashion trends, popular media, and humor preferences at different times. It’s astonishing to consider that this archive now spans 50 years. The show started with a veteran SNL member, Paul Simon, who has been part of the family since the beginning, and a relatively new face, Sabrina Carpenter, whom many were unfamiliar with a year ago but who now seems ingrained in pop culture, symbolizing both the longevity of SNL and its relevance in the present.
