Match #1: Giulia & Bayley def. Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Nxt Women’s Champion Giulia and Bayley proved to be an effective team as the duo took down Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade to kick off Nxt. Perez and Jade pulled out all of their wicked tactics and nearly had the match won, but the grit and resiliency of the veteran Bayley and The Beautiful Madness was too much to overcome. Jade found herself in the unenviable spot of a two on one attack and one huge Flying Elbow allowed Bayley to pick up the win.

Kirk in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, a Saturn for his guest-starring role on the sci-fi series, Haven in 2016, and, of course, we can't forget the two Emmys he took home for his portrayal of Denny Crane in both The Practice and Boston Legal.

John Legend is the 2025 headliner of this February’s Move Afrika tour. This Global Citizen initiative is the first pan-African touring circuit headlined by international artists.

To beat the Local Legend Rilai in Genshin Impact’s Natlan region, you will need to find its specific location and then choose a proper team comp to face them since the opponent can be a difficult one to topple. Local Legends were first introduced with Fontaine; they are characterized by stronger enemies found in predetermined areas of the map. Not only do they have larger Hp bars when compared to regular overworld opponents, but they also have improved skill sets. There are several Local Legends in Natlan in Genshin Impact, and more are occasionally added with map extensions.

Local Legends tend to be variations of regular enemies found in each region. In Fontaine, for instance, Ninianne of the Lake is a variation of a Tainted Water-Splitting Phantasm. The Local Legend Rilai, on the other hand, is a variation of an Iktomisaurus Warrior: Cryocrystal Cannon, a form of Sauroform Tribal Warriors,...

Nandamuri Balakrishna is teaming up again with blockbuster director Boyapati Sreenu for their fourth collaboration, Akhanda 2: Thaandavam. The duo previously scored blockbuster hits with Simha, Legend, and Akhanda. Akhanda 2 follows the success of their earlier hit, Akhanda.

Twenty years ago, John Legend released his debut album Get Lifted. The recording process spanned three years as the then-burgeoning musician shaped and solidified its 14-song track list. It served as a launching pad for Legend’s now two-decade-long career — making it more than deserving of a guest-packed, expanded reissue to mark its milestone anniversary.

“I’m so thrilled to be celebrating 20 years of the album that introduced me to the world,” Legend shared in a statement. “Get Lifted has always meant so much to me and to so many of my fans and supporters.

Shepka Productions and Flickering Myth have officially announced the upcoming UK release of their gothic horror feature The Baby in the Basket, which will arrive on Digital and DVD in on February 17th 2025 from High Fliers Films.

A baby in a basket is left on the steps of an isolated monastery on a Scottish island. The nuns take it in, planning to care for it until a storm passes. Soon though, strange and unexplained events begin to happen at the convent.

The Baby in the Basket has been rated 18 by the British Board of Film Classification for “strong sex and disturbing scenes.”

The Baby in the Basket stars Amber Doig-Thorne (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), Michaela Longden (How to Kill Monsters), Elle O’Hara (Cara), Lisa Riesner (Charlie’s Angels) and Nathan Shepka (When Darkness Falls) alongside veteran British talent Annabelle Lanyon (Legend), Maryam d’Abo (The Living Daylights) and Paul Barber (The Full Monty...

Will Smith and Margot Robbie's 2015 comedy-drama Focus has a lot of star power in its main leads, but it also boasts a surprisingly notable cast of characters. Focus was rather divisive when it came out; it holds a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 56% and an audience score of 53%. It seemed that no one could agree whether Focus was an entertaining heist film filled with betrayals and twists or if it was an incoherent and overly convoluted movie. Now, however, Focus has gained popularity on Netflix, and it's likely due - at least in part - to the movie's stellar cast.

Margot Robbie and Will Smith's collaboration on Focus was one of the film's main selling points, but it wasn't the only time the actors have worked together. 2016's Suicide Squad reunited Robbie and Smith after Focus, and it gave viewers another taste of their great on-screen chemistry. Interestingly, however,...

When Morgan attempted to use the briefcase on Jax after the bell, though, the WWE Women’s Champion took it away from her and used it on Liv, Raquel Rodregez and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio before crushing her WWE Crown Jewel opponent with the Annihilator.

Quick Links A Classic Struggle of Good vs Evil in Legend Legend Was Anything But Its Namesake on Release Legend Garnered a Cult Following and a Praise with the Director's Cut

There are many instances of directors having their films changed by studios for a theatrical release. Ask the DC fandom behind the "release of the Snyder Cut." Sometimes, these changes are minor; in the odd case, they may even improve production by cutting some bloat. However, the worst outcome for any creative is to see their work as initially intended becoming completely lost on the editing room floor only to be met with failure because of it.

Legend is a film that should have been a success. With Tom Cruise in the lead and director Ridley Scott behind the camera, the dark fantasy movie was, unfortunately, anything but a success at the box office and with critics. Yet it...

If you think Hollywood is all about fast cars and flashy parties, think again! The real magic happens behind the scenes, where dedication meets creativity. Just ask Tom Cruise, the man who turned a simple script into an aviation classic.

After a rocky experience working with Ridley Scott on Legend, which crashed and burned at the box office, Cruise was understandably alarmed about taking on new projects without the right groundwork. With producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer presenting him with the Top Gun script, the actor recognized its potential but felt it needed improvement.

In light of sex trafficking allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, John Legend‘s longtime manager Ty Stiklorius has written an op-ed for The New York Times that extensively details the music industry’s “pervasive predatory culture” that “actively fostered sexual misconduct and exploited the lives and bodies of those hoping to make it in the business.”

The piece, by Emmy Award-winning producer Stiklorius, founder of Friends at Work, a management company that works with, among others, Legend, is titled “The Music Industry Is Toxic. After P. Diddy, We Can Clean It Up.”

Stiklorius begins by describing a yacht party in St. Barts that she attended 27 years ago, hosted by Combs, where she says she was able to persuade an associate of the rapper to unlock a bedroom door and escape. (The Hollywood Reporter has contacted Diddy’s reps for comment.) At the time, she says did not realize exactly what...

After the death of her friend Walter, Iris is thrust into caring for Apollo, a Great Dane of considerable size. Walter had been a beloved friend, mentor, and perhaps even something more to Iris during their time together. Now gone, Walter leaves behind a complicated legacy along with one final request: for Iris to take in Apollo, unable to care for the dog himself.

While Iris lives alone in New York and considers herself more of a cat person, she feels compelled to honor Walter’s wishes at least temporarily. What begins as an inconvenience soon reveals deeper layers as Iris comes to understand the bond between her and Apollo goes beyond any formal arrangement. Both are processing their feelings of loss and emptiness left from Walter’s absence in parallel ways.

John Legend is a singer/songwriter and pianist. Legend is well-known for his song, ‘All of Me.’ The popular musician was the first African American man to win all four major North American entertainment awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (Egot).

Legend is married to model Chrissy Teigen. Together, the couple has four kids. Their first child and daughter, Luna, was born in April 2016. They had their first baby boy, Miles, in May 2018. Teigen, unfortunately, had a miscarriage in 2020.

John Legend said he’s “always respected” Taylor Swift for being “willing to take that risk” in openly sharing her political views.

The Egot winner, who has been vocal about his support for Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, recently told The Independent that he understands it’s more difficult for the pop superstar to speak out given her fanbase.

“It was always really difficult for Taylor to speak out for liberal and progressive candidates coming from the country music world, where the fanbase is a lot more conservative,” Legend said. “It was riskier for her to start speaking out about politics than it is for me. I always respected the fact that she was willing to take that risk.”

The singer-songwriter added that he thought Swift shared the “perfect statement” when she announced on social media earlier this week that she was endorsing Harris. “I’m voting for...

During the presidential debate on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump made the insane claim that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio were killing and eating pets from the community.

“They’re eating the dogs — the people that came in — they’re eating the cats,” Trump said, seemingly out of nowhere, referring to a racist, far-right conspiracy theory that has circulated online. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country.”

Multiple outlets, including ABC News which hosted the debate, fact-checked the outrageous statement.

Francis Ford Coppola is the latest celebrity to address Donald Trump’s debate comments accusing immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, of eating pets.

“I really was infuriated during the debates, when Haitian people were disparaged,” the filmmaker wrote in a post shared on Instagram. “I feel Haitian people are among the most kind, generous, talented, wonderful I have ever known. They have never been forgiven for winning what was a slave-revolt, and have been punished ever since they liberated themselves.”

Coppola added that he finds the pet-eating claims “so outrageously insulting to a brave, creative and absolutely wonderful people, I cannot tolerate or remain silent.”

He accompanied his message with a still from the Haitian film Freda by Gessica Généus, which Coppola notes he supported.

John Legend on Thursday addressed Donald Trump’s attack on Haitian immigrants in the singer’s hometown Springfield, Ohio.

During the presidential debate Tuesday, the former president suggested that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are taking over the city.

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there,” he said.

In a video posted to social media Thursday, Legend reminded his fans that he grew up in Springfield.

“You may have heard of Springfield, Ohio this week,” the “All of Me” singer said. “In fact, if you watched the debate, we were discussed by our presidential candidates, including a very special, interesting man named Donald J. Trump.”

Legend spent several minutes speaking about the history of Springfield. “Our city had been shrinking for decades,” he said. “We didn’t have enough jobs, we didn’t have enough opportunity. So...

The fourth season of The Boys featured a major cameo from iconic comedian Will Ferrell, who ended up having to weather a storm during his brief time on set. A subplot in The Boys centered around the making of a very inaccurate biopic on A-Trains life, which cast Ferrell as a stereotypical mentor to Jessie T. Ushers character. Its meant to parody the making of The Blind Side, and actually served as a vehicle for A-Trains growth as a socially and morally conscious person.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke discussed how they recruited Will Ferrell and revealed the difficult process of shooting his scene. To recap, the second episode of Season 4 opens with a clip of the in-universe movie starring A-Train and his mentor, played by Ferrell.

Although Ridley Scott is best known for movie franchises such as Blade Runner or Gladiator, there is one movie by the famed director that deserves a lot more praise. Since the late 1970s, Ridley Scott has helmed some of the most iconic and successful movies in modern Hollywood. From Alien to Thelma and Louise, Scott has created stories that remain in popular culture for decades after their release. Yet, not all of Ridley Scott's movies are lauded. In fact, one of his earliest movies was severely underrated upon its roll-out, and it continues to be looked over.

In 1985, Ridley Scott directed a movie called Legend. It was his fourth movie and came directly after Blade Runner and Alien. The movie starred Tom Cruise as the lead character Jack, a forest-dwelling young man who sets out to save his princess lover and protect the world from being taken over by Darkness.

A representative for Beyoncé says the singer will not attend the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

“Beyoncé was never scheduled to be there,” the Grammy-winning star’s rep tells The Hollywood Reporter. “The report of a performance is untrue.”

Rumors about the pop star attending and performing at this year’s DNC, celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic presidential nomination, have exploded online throughout the week.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Pink would be the headline act ahead of Harris’ speech. On Thursday, Pink — who performed “What About Us” with her daughter Willow — appeared to have moved up in the lineup, continuing to add fuel to the fire about a surprise guest coming later in the night.

Beyoncé’s presence was ultimately still felt in Chicago’s United Center arena, as her song “Freedom” ended up playing Harris both on and off the stage for her speech when she formally accepted...
