Tina Turner’s new documentary on HBO has revved up fans who are incredulous she’s not already in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist … but there’s something they can do about it. Since “Tina” premiered in late March — and even before — many of the legendary singer’s fans have expressed outrage she’s only in the RRHOF as a duo with Ike Turner … her abusive and manipulative ex-husband and musical partner. Tina and Ike were inducted way back in 1991, but she went solo in 1984 so that’s further infuriated people … because it…
Saturday AM Update: Godzilla vs. Kong is now up to $27.9M in three days after an $11.6M Friday at 3,064 locations, +73% over Thursday. The 5-day projection for the Adam Wingard-directed Warner Bros/Legendary title is $42M — far and away the best opening (3 and 5-day) we’ve seen at the domestic B.O. during the pandemic, meaning since mid-March of 2020. “The industry is roaring back as Godzilla Vs. Kong‘s incredible performance should silence the naysayers who predicted that due to the pandemic and the resultant appeal of at-home viewing, that the big screen experience would wind up as extinct as a…
The trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy is here and immediately calls to mind Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, this time sucking NBA superstar (and well-known horror fan) LeBron James into a “Serververse” where all of Warner Bros.’ iconic characters reside. The trailer reveals that James assembles his own “Dream Team” (how on brand), which includes none other than King Kong (it feels like this drop was perfectly timed to coincide with this week’s release of Godzilla vs. Kong). Going frame-by-frame through the trailer it’s still hard to identify all of the cameos, but it does confirm that It‘s…

It’s been a week and a half since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave their bombshell-filled interview to Oprah about their experiences as working royal family members. While the royal family has publicly been terse about their thoughts on the claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made, People devoted its cover story to how the Palace is feeling. And those in the Firm are feeling a LOT.For context, Meghan and Harry revealed in their interview that a member of the royal family (not the Queen or Prince Philip) had concerns that Archie’s skin would be too dark, the Firm…
Lori Loughlin’s husband, Mossimo Giannulli, has been sprung from prison early as the dust settles on the college admission scandal — the only question now … is he at home, or is he holed up in a halfway house? Federal prison records show that Mossimo is, indeed, now “located” at a facility called RRM Long Beach — which is a residential reentry management field office that oversees inmates transitioning back to public life. RRMLB itself does NOT appear to be a halfway house, but it does regulate inmates who stay at halfway houses. It’s also where inmates released to home…

While Pepe Le Pew’s “rape-y” behavior was apparently deemed too problematic to include him in the ‘Space Jam’ sequel, a group of actual onscreen rapists is set to cameo.

Play video content TMZ.com Jerry Seinfeld looked like a man who was cooped up for a year Friday night as he christened the coming-out-of-the-pandemic Gotham Comedy Club in NYC, and the audience “exploded!’ Jerry stopped to talk on his way home, saying the energy inside was so intense he felt like he had gotten electrocuted. It’s kinda funny … Jerry said — believably — he worried he might have forgotten to do stand up it had been so long, but turns out it was just like riding a bike, or in Jerry’s case, playing tennis. And, the most interesting comment…
Lil Wayne’s in luck if he ever needs to borrow a cup of sugar from his neighbor, because he just dropped a fortune on a mansion right by Kylie Jenner’s crib. The rapper dropped $15.4 mil for the home in Hidden Hills — the high-profile gated community that’s home to much of the Kardashian crew — according to sources familiar with the deal. The 12,135 sq. ft. home looks awesome — it’s a brand new custom estate with 7 beds, 7.5 baths, and a bright, open floor plan with panoramic views. The interior comes with all the luxurious bells and…
So at face value, Godzilla can certainly be classified as Godzilla vs. Kong’s winner, but as Max Borenstein sees it, these two Titans aren’t exactly on equal footing. As he put it, Godzilla is more of a force of nature, whereas King Kong can be personified more easily, particularly since Godzilla vs. Kong revealed that he can communicate through sign language. Between the intelligence and his tool-making abilities, King Kong is still one of Earth’s biggest powerhouses, but as we saw when he faced Godzilla, he just doesn’t quite measure up with his opponent in terms of pure brawn. At…
