Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco Where’s the line between in-the-know fashion girlie and overzealous elf? My findings below. By Natalie Michie Date December 6, 2023 In life, being nosy takes you places. They’re not always good places, but they’re interesting nonetheless. Case in point: My relentless inquisitiveness recently brought me into the hotly debated fashion territory of the red tights outfit. Adored by both Blair Waldorf and Mr. Incredible, red tights can range from appropriately kitsch to downright silly to, in my opinion, incredibly chic. ICYMI, red is the colour of the season, and as a result, scarlet stockings are quickly…
In addition to training, the 33-year-old also decided to quit drinking. “Doing that show with a hangover,” Taylor added, “I don’t want to know that world.” The superstar’s preparation certainly paid off, as she found her inner strength throughout the process. “I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed,” Taylor noted. “That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.” Original Source
Our cup runneth over with best books lists right now, and The New Yorker’s best books of 2023 is one of the latest lists to emerge. Funnily enough, no matter how many of these kinds of lists we read, it’s always interesting to see another — to note the overlap between lists, see books that perhaps hadn’t gotten a lot of buzz this year, and to read each publication’s editors’ notes. So let’s dive in. This year, The New Yorker divided its list into three categories: The Essentials, Nonfiction, and Fiction & Poetry. The Essentials A Day in the Life…

While there’s been no official announcement by any of the powers-that-be, hope continues to spring eternal for Alita: Battle Angel 2 to become a reality. Between producer Jon Landau and director Robert Rodriguez stoking the fires with updates, as well as James Cameron’s supposed confirmation of multiple sequels in the works, it’s hard not to feel that the question isn’t if, but when this sci-fi movie continuation will happen. If frequent Rodriguez collaborator/Alita co-star Jeff Fahey is anyone to go by, that sequel just might be going into production, and much sooner than we thought. Of course, we need to take…

Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco Were you Team Sofia or Beyoncé in 2023? By Annika Lautens Date December 5, 2023 Who here hasn’t fantasized about having a Pretty Woman moment? You know the one: You walk into a high-end boutique and spend “an obscene amount of money.” Or better yet, you drop an obscene amount of someone else’s money, and then rub it in the faces of the people that had previously wronged you. “Big mistake. Huge!” It’s the perfect Cinderella fairytale moment, mixed in with some petty-yet-delicious revenge — a poor, insignificant person goes through a makeover montage and suddenly…
Sebastian Stan is certainly not fired. The Captain America star transformed into former President Donald Trump while filming the upcoming movie The Apprentice, named after Trump’s reality show that ran from 2004 to 2017.

According to Deadline, The Apprentice movie—directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi—also stars Succession actor Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn and Borat actress Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, the former POTUS’…

It’s been nearly 70 years since Godzilla first step foot on the silver screen with Ishiro Honda’s 1954 opus, Gojira. What started as an allegory about the horrors of the atomic bomb and war has since been reimagined myriad times to cover everything from the awesome forces of nature to geopolitical alliances, the absurdities of consumerism to mankind’s inability to curb pollution. Whether Godzilla is a tragic monster, a defender of earth, or children’s role model, there’s no denying the appeal the Big G has to audiences. After all, it’s damn entertaining to watch a giant monster stomping around the…
As critics share their Wonka takes of both the sweet and sour variety, Hugh Grant has opened up about his own sour experience making the film. The actor plays an Oompa Loompa in the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory prequel, and he’s essentially all CGI. It turns out that the process of motion capture and playing a computer-generated character wasn’t exactly his cup of tea as he explained why he “hated” filming the movie. Honestly, it sounds pretty intense. Ever since the first Wonka trailer dropped, we’ve known that the Willy Wonka prequel would feature Hugh Grant as a tiny…
