Back in August, Kelly Jensen wrote about how conservative propaganda led to Jamestown, Michigan voting down the library millage (tax) rate that was on the ballot, making it impossible for the library to stay open for more than a few months. Jamestown Conservatives called the librarians “groomers” who were “indoctrinating” children because they refused to take LGBTQ books off the shelves. Some Jamestown residents responded by starting a GoFundMe campaign for the library, which received donations from around the world. It soon raised over $100,000, which is when Nora Roberts added a $50,000 donation — the maximum allowed by GoFundMe.…

Photography by Getty Images Celebrity stylist and “image architect” Law Roach is reportedly using his magic touch on Lindsay Lohan — and we’re here for LiLo’s rebrand. By Annika Lautens Date November 9, 2022 Facebook Twitter During a recent press trip, an international editor asked the question, “Which celeb do you think most desperately needs a rebrand?” While the intent was to make conversation with a group of relative strangers, the dinner transformed into an outburst of passionate opinions akin to a high school debate club, only more stylish.

Ti West’s X introduced Pearl (Mia Goth), a woman driven mad by her lust and yearning for youth that her husband attempts to hide from his unexpected boarding guests. She finds them anyway and satiates her desire with unhinged violence. Just how unhinged this killer is gets fleshed out further in the prequel Pearl, now available on Digital and out on Blu-ray on November 15, solidifying her ranks as one of horror’s most memorable female killers. Female killers compensate for their scarcity in horror with unpredictability, cruelty, and infectiously deranged personality. It’s often obsession that drives them, providing fascinating motivations that can…
Tim Allen isn’t ruling out a Home Improvement fixer-upper.Speaking with E! News exclusively ahead of The Santa Clauses premiere Nov. 16, Allen revealed we may not have seen the last of his beloved ’90s sitcom Home Improvement—though he believes Tim Taylor’s storyline may be over. “The crew and cast of that show—we’ve always said that,” Allen said of a potential revival. “We wanted to do it as a short film for charity, I believe, and it was a matter of scheduling.” But Allen noted that, in a way, Tim Taylor has already continued on television—in Last Man Standing’s Mike Baxter.

Christine and the Queens’ frontperson, Chris, has spent most of his life yearning for simplicity — to understand his own sexuality and gender but longing mostly for the simplest emotion: love. Unfortunately for Chris, yearning is what he does best. That anxious feeling is what makes his music so invigorating. Two years ago, Chris captured the quintessence of lockdown loneliness with “People, I’ve Been Sad,” a prayer for human contact with a moving chorus. Two years before that, he rejected gender roles (and maybe gender as a whole) by responding to a question asked by people who don’t understand him…
Top Gun Maverick is the highest grossing movie of the year and, barring the massive success of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever or a late box office run from Avatar: The Way of Water, it’s going to end the year that way. It’s a clear vindication of Paramount’s decision to wait until the box office was in a state to better ensure the film’s success. However, that ended meaning the film was delayed for a really long time.Top Gun: Maverick was originally set to open in June of 2020 and while that obviously didn’t happen due to the global pandemic, the…
