For many years, there was a call across social media for more YA books set in college. Teens like to read up in terms of age was part of the reason, but the other was that many adult YA readers wanted to slip into a story that was a little more mature than high school. New Adult, which never took off as more than contemporary romance with young main characters, didn’t fit the bill, and while there were calls for older YA main characters, a parallel call for younger YA main characters sought stories that were appropriate for older tween…

Breaking News James Franco’s sexual misconduct lawsuit has been settled. Franco, who taught an acting class at Studio 4 — the film school he founded — was accused by students of putting them in gratuitous and exploitive sexual situations. Students filed a class-action lawsuit, saying Franco pushed the class into performing intimate and explicit sex scenes in an “orgy type setting” … something that went way beyond the pale of shooting such scenes. The class in question was called a master class on sex scenes. Both sides announced the settlement to the trial judge, although the terms of the agreement…
The folks at “Saturday Night Live” clearly had a hard time figuring out what to lead with, so they decided to lead with everybody!!! The opening skit was pretty hilarious … talk show host “Britney Spears” interviews “Ted Cruz,” “Gov. Andrew Cuomo” and “Gina Carano” … all of whom were brought on the show to apologize for their misdeeds. “Ted” is back from his cut-short vacay, clutching a fruity drink in one hand and his rollaway suitcase in the other. What’s really funny … how “Cuomo” and “Carano” — who have their own issues — want nothing to do with…

It has been a while since there was an interesting horror-related release from one of the most famous comic brands in history. Actually, when you look through its vast catalog of titles, you’ll find that there aren’t many video games with horror elements in them at all. 2007’s Ghost Rider, a “God of War wannabe” adventure, is the most recent title that comes to mind — and it wasn’t up to much, with its repetitive structure and brainless combat. Then, we could remember a couple of Blade’s entries that allowed us to play as the most badass vampire hunter from…
Deion Sanders’ debut as the new head football coach at Jackson State University came to a screeching halt after what should’ve been a glorious day … because his stuff was jacked in plain sight. The NFL legend showed up Sunday to a press conference after he led his team to a decisive 53-0 win — the first win in his professional career as a head coach of a Division I team — and let the media know that he was irate … saying a bunch of his personal belongings had been stolen from his own locker in the coach’s office.…

At this point in his career, Robert De Niro could sit back, polish his two Oscars (not to mention his Cecil B. DeMille Award), and rest on his laurels, but that’s not the style of the Hollywood living legend, at least not for the next few years. In the near future, the 77-year-old actor, director, producer, and all-around badass will take on roles that hit some of the major genres of his career. With comedies, dramas, another David O. Russell movie, and an exciting crime thriller that sounds like Heat on wheels, we will be talking about the man who…
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik welcomed their daughter, Khai, last September, and as of now, they plan to give her a quiet farm life in Pennsylvania. The usually private Hadid doesn’t usually share a lot of photos of her little family on social media. For that reason, it was a big deal when, today, she began sharing several never-before-seen photos on her Instagram story. First, she posted a photo of Khai’s feet in footie pajamas with the prompt “post a picture from this date.” She added the note, (“doing it with dates just makes it easier/faster to find pics!! also…
With a multitude of questionable spinoffs under its belt, the 90 Day Fiance franchise is expanding. 90 Day: The Single Life Season 1 Episode 1 re-introduced us to many of the franchise’s most popular stars as they come to terms with the single life after the breakdown of the relationships they were in when they first joined the show. The result was a little bit more disappointing than I anticipated. On paper, this show sounds like something to break away from the formula of the franchise, but it actually seems like a watered-down take on the original concept. Instead of…
