As one of Hollywood’s most appealing, talented, and beloved actors, Paul Rudd has come a long way from getting featured in popular cult comedies of the 1990s and the 2000s to reaching stardom through the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise in 2015.

In addition to his impeccable acting skills, Rudd is also hailed as the sexiest man on earth. Indeed, the Marvel star hasn’t aged at all! He has managed to keep a youthful appearance since his Hollywood debut.

Although his acting abilities are unquestionable, many are astonished that he appears younger than his actual age. One wonders what Rudd’s secret is because he still has the same looks as he did in the 1990s. So, what makes Rudd so youthful than ever?

Here’s Paul Rudd’s secret mantra to looking young at age 55! Paul Rudd in Ant-Man | Credits: Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures

Lady Gaga is set to release her highly anticipated eighth studio album, Mayhem, this Friday (March 7th). The pop superstar says the new LP is inspired by ’90s music like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead, among other acts. In fact, in a new interview with Consequence, she noted that the record has “’90s grunge influence, 2000s pop influence, funk influence, ’80s influence.”

While introducing the Nin song “Closer” on her new pop-up SiriusXM channel “Gaga Radio,” the singer talked about discovering “heavier and intense” music: “When I heard Johnny Cash do [Nine Inch Nails’] ‘Hurt,’ I realized that so many different kinds of music could find their way into these sorts of sounds.”

She went on to say, “‘Closer’ is a huge inspiration for Mayhem.” That influence is easy to hear in Mayhem‘s lead single “Disease,” which features a similarly paced industrial beat in its verses...

Shojo anime are stories written and marketed for a young female audience, though they are enjoyed by a wide variety of viewers. While shojo anime covers too many genres to be considered formulaic, there are many popular tropes that pop up in shojo anime. Shojo fans enjoy them in classic titles and in newer releases.

Some tropes go in and out of vogue, but for the most part, they tend to be staples of the demographic, like tsundere love interests and compassionate protagonists. Some newer titles will subvert time-old tropes, or parody them. Either way, there are plenty of shojo titles that include them perfectly in their plots.

Brooks & Dunn’s Ronnie Dunn was recently in a terrifying skiing accident. What happened with this situation, and what did the legendary singer have to say about everything that went down?

Brooks & Dunn Are One Of The Most Famous Acts Around

While most people know of Brooks & Dunn through iconic hits like “Neon Moon,” they have a lot more in their catalog than just that single hit. It has gained new popularity thanks to social media platforms like TikTok and more. However, there’s a lot more to this famous country act, as they are not just a one-trick pony.

Over the course of their career, this famous country duo consisting of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn has released 12 studio albums, seven compilation albums, and scored 20 number-one hits, including many more tracks that have charted as well.

One of the most emotionally complex songs Beck has written is “Lost Cause,” which is sadder than your average breakup song because it’s more about resignation than remorse. The lyrics echo the adage that the divorce happens long before the divorce. Beck was 32 years old when the song came out two years after he discovered his fiancée was cheating on him (with a member of a band called Whiskey Biscuit), and he practically sighs every lyric: “I’m tired of fighting, fighting for a lost cause.”

Welcome to Plathville star Moriah Plath is still reeling after a heartbreaking split with Matthew Craven, and I believe that she chooses shady men because of her upbringing. Yes, everyone has their type - dating other sorts of people may feel impossible. However, Moriah really needs to try. The bad boys she's dating make it too hard for her to enjoy life. As soon as she begins to trust one, whether it's Max Kallschmidt or Matthew, he cheats on her.

That's what bad boys do, but Moriah may subconsciously choose men who will hurt her because she got used to being criticized as a child.

When parents disapprove, and unconditional love isn't really a thing, a person may feel like they deserve the worst. They may not even realize that they're dating bad people just to replay the psychodrama of their youth, and hopefully get a different result. However, that...

Netflix has shut down its gaming unit recently. The reason for shutting the gaming division down is still unclear. Netflix has been pursuing the gaming industry for a while now, and this sudden shutdown is causing a little confusion as to what exactly went down within the studio.

After the recent trailers and demo gameplay showcases, Black Ops 6 will hopefully breathe life into Cod Zombies. The undead story was going stagnant and players were struggling to find fun in it, much like the last entry in the series and Warzone.

But that’s not all. In the latest trailer that showcases Liberty Falls, one of the two maps coming to the game, it confirms the return of Edward Richtofen, Director of the Office of Requiem, and Wunderwaffe, which literally means a wonder weapon.

So, it seems like Project Janus finally made it to Cod Zombies. Edward Richtofen will return and more importantly, the voice actor behind the famous character is coming alongside him.

Drumming sensation, multi-instrumentalist, and all-around musical prodigy Nandi Bushell has taken a short break from crushing drum covers and joining icons on stage to deliver a haunting cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt.” Watch her rendition of the song below.

Bushell posted the clip to social media on Wednesday (August 7th), writing that she was so taken by the Downward Spiral cut, as well as the Johnny Cash version, that she felt compelled to put her own spin on it.

“I discovered the song ‘Hurt’ by Trent Renzor and Nine Inch Nails from the Johnny Cash version. It’s so powerful,” she stated. “Obviously, I can’t [relate] to the lyrics. But I wanted to create my own version to understand what makes it such a moving piece of art. Although it will never compare with the Nine Inch Nails or Johnny Cash version, I hope my take on ‘Hurt’ makes...

Furiosa faces a significant challenge at the box office, as it must exceed the success of Mad Max: Fury Road to ensure the franchise's future. The new Mad Max film will have tough competition from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which has a stronger track record at the box office. The success of Furiosa is crucial for the Mad Max franchise to survive, as future films will only be made if they continue to be profitable.

Although there is a considerable amount of excitement prior to Furiosa's release in 2024, there's also a major challenge ahead when it comes to the movie's box office prospects. The Mad Max franchise came back to life thanks to its reboot in 2014 with Mad Max: Fury Road, which made quite an impact at that time commercially and critically. The upcoming prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa has massive expectations behind it to repeat,...

Fear Street 4's announcement spells trouble for Goosebumps, as the two projects will inevitably be pitted against each other due to their similar content. Fear Street is currently more popular and better received than Goosebumps, with higher Rotten Tomatoes scores and a larger following due to its three films compared to Goosebumps' one season. The scarier and more exciting nature of Fear Street appeals more to older audiences, while Goosebumps has a nostalgic value and is more childlike. Fear Street 4 is generating more hype than Goosebumps season 2.

Now that Netflix has announced another installment in the Fear Street franchise, Fear Street 4, there is no hope for Disney's Goosebumps adaptation. Both Fear Street and Goosebumps are book series written by the author R.L. Stine. Fear Street follows a group of teenagers that uncover a horrific, generations-long secret in their home town, meanwhile Goosebumps is a long-running series of children's horror stories.

Disney's live-action remake of Snow White has faced criticism for its casting choices and changes to the original plot, including the replacement of the seven dwarfs with magical creatures. Nadia Stacey, a member of the movie's hair and makeup department, denies reports of a change in the characters, stating that the original seven dwarfs have always been part of the story. Despite criticism, Disney's live-action remakes have consistently performed well at the box office, and Snow White may face a similar scenario, with the star power of Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot potentially attracting audiences despite the film's delays and high budget.

Beyond its recent one-year delay, Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Snow White has been in the eye of the storm on several occasions, and some of the reasons have to do with one of the most important elements of the film's mythology, the seven dwarfs.

Larry Fessenden (Wendigo, Habit, Depraved) is back with a new werewolf horror movie titled Blackout, and THR reports today that it’s found a home at Dark Sky Films.

Dark Sky Films has acquired North American rights to Blackout, and they’re aiming to release Fessenden’s latest in theaters and on Digital outlets in the first quarter of 2024.

Blackout marks the second pairing of Glass Eye Pix, the New York production shingle headed by Fessenden, and Yellow Veil Pictures, having previously collaborated successfully on world sales for Fessenden’s 2019 Depraved, which was released by IFC Midnight in the US.

The film follows small town artist Charley (Alex Hurt), a tortured man whose drinking binges blur with his sneaking suspicion that he might likely be a werewolf. He distances himself from those he loves and sinks deeper into solitude, his flashes of memory of his nighttime grisly acts manifested through...

Christine confronts Janelle about Kody's neglect and isolation, showing her frustration with his actions towards their sister wife and daughter. Robyn and Meri discuss the fallout from the holiday season, with Robyn feeling lost in the family structure and everyone's decisions pushing for time apart. Janelle opens up about her deteriorating relationship with Kody and her feelings of separation, highlighting financial strains and Kody's favoritism towards Robyn. Meri reveals that she has been tracking how much time Kody spends with each wife, realizing her time is minimal.

Adam Sandler's realistic acting approach in the dodgeball scene of Billy Madison caused controversy as he hit child actors hard, making some cry. Despite the backlash, there were no long-term injuries and the producers decided to keep the scene in the film due to the strong relationships and funny moments it showcased. Sandler's camaraderie with the child actors in the movie is what draws audiences back to revisit Billy Madison and its humorous quotes.

While much of the plot of Adam Sandler's breakout hit Billy Madison remains implausible and unrealistic, one scene in the comedian's movie caused some serious real problems behind the scenes. Adam Sandler has been in the industry for decades now, long enough so that certain on-set protocols followed today may not have been followed so stringently during the filming of some of his earlier movies. In hindsight, sometimes scenes were shot using techniques that wouldn't...

As with Depraved, writer-director Larry Fessenden returns to the world of classic, Universal-inspired monsters in Blackout. Whereas that title brought the mythos of Frankenstein’s monster (and its ample room for social commentary) into the present-day, this latest update shifts focus towards the so-called “wolfman.”

How does knowing he potentially killed innocent people affect Charley (Alex Hurt)? How can he keep pretending his life is simple and his love (with Addison Timlin’s Sharon) pure when a cloud of uncertain violence looms above the three-day nightly windows he cannot remember each month? Because while his actually being a werewolf is presented with enough ambiguity to make the truth part of the intrigue, Fessenden pulls no punches insofar as making certain we know Charley is at fault. He sees glimpses of his victims’ faces and, as an artist, paints them to try severing their hold. So while he might not be...

Pedro Pascal recently revealed that he was afraid to star in HBO's The Last of Us

Pascal recalled his initial reservations about signing on to portray protagonist Joel in the video game adaptation during an actors' roundtable event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter. "I was scared. I was so scared," he said. "Because there was more of an exposed silhouette, a silhouette of coolness maybe, and an expectation to be met as far as what people's immersive experience of the story was. And to disappoint them in that regard felt like it would be… I don't know. You don't want to let people down, but also nobody's impervious to disappointing people. I want people to like me."

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who split in 2015 after nearly 10 years of marriage, are still united as coparents to their three kids. All three are typically kept out of the public eye, save for a few events, such as Garner's Hollywood Star ceremony in 2018.

In a 2019 interview with InStyle, Garner opened up about her decision to keep her kids out of the spotlight and off social media. "I guard my kids' privacy as much as I possibly can, and I've never posted pictures of them on Instagram," she said. "I used to refuse to say their names during interviews - but everyone knows their names! I would just say 'my eldest,' which I still do out of habit a lot," she continued. "I'm sure there are times my kids would really love to see themselves reflected on my social media in a fun...

The Stranger Things season 4 cast is ever-expanding, and it features a staggering number of new and recurring characters. The Duffer brothers' true genius lies in their ability to continually expand the number of characters in Stranger Things, somehow without compromising the narrative momentum at all. To be fair, Stranger Things season 4 was helped by extended episode lengths — episode 9 was 2 hours 30 minutes — making it the equivalent of an entire movie. But balancing all these characters and storylines was still an accomplishment nonetheless.

Even the Hawkins' teenagers have grown in number; Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas have been joined by Max, Eddie, and Lucas' little sister Erica, who have become firm fan favorites. The Stranger Things season 4 cast introduced even more new characters, however, simply because it spanned the globe, with Joyce and Murray freeing Hopper from Russia. With so many Stranger Things characters in play, viewers can be forgiven for...

“There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” she said, in an apparent reference to Chia, according to The Daily Mail.

Despite the seemingly ill feelings toward her ex and his partner, Shakira says that now she has “more confidence” in herself, and that she has become a “lioness” for her two children.

TV vet Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Southland, Gotham) is plotting a TV comeback via the ABC medical drama pilot The Hurt Unit, TVLine has confirmed.

From Promised Land creator Matt Lopez and ex-Seal Team showrunner John Glenn, the potential series is described as a “cutting-edge medical drama about a highly skilled team of trauma surgeons and nurses who race into the field to treat the patients who won’t make it to the hospital in time. When the sick and the injured can’t get to the ER, the Hurt Unit (Hospital Urgent Response Team) brings the ER to them.

Julie Bowen is taking a chance on Harry Styles.

A devastating couplet is every pop star’s secret weapon.

On Monday’s “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert kicked things off with a cold open gag inspired by the recent uproar over Spotify’s deal with podcaster Joe Rogan, because of the the huge amount of factually incorrect information about vaccines and Covid-19 featured on his show.

The gag was simple: A Spotify playlist where each selected song formed part of a sentence advancing lies about Covid-19 vaccines.

Of course, if you need a quick catch up: Last week Neil Young removed his music from Spotify in protest of Rogan. The same week, more than 200 scientists and medical experts released an open letter urging Spotify to quit promoting vaccine misinformation. And on Friday, Joni Mitchell announced she would be removing her music from Spotify to show solidarity with Young.

This has resulted in Spotify taking a huge stock market hit, and now it says it will add content warnings to podcasts touching on Covid.

The storyline of “Sensei, Would You Sit Beside Me?“ depicts an unusual couple’s therapy. How did you come up with the idea for the script?

It started out as an attempt to portray a story of a wife who commits adultery as revenge against her husband, who cheated on her first. However, I felt that if the husband and wife directly clashed with each other,...

Takahiro Horie’s (“Hurt” 2016) second feature film is part of the Tsutaya Creators’ Program and features Haru Kuroki (“A Bride For Rip van Winkle” 2016) and Tasuku Emoto (“And Your Bird Can Sing” 2018) as the lead actors. Both are prominent faces of the current Japanese cinema and always a secure choice when it comes to realistic drama. The screen presence of the couple is one of the more positive aspects of the film, though.

On May 11, Arlo Parks took to the Brit Awards stage to perform a stripped-back rendition of her latest track, "Hope." The singer's performance began with a digital projection, featuring poetic words of hope and positivity on the screen, before Parks emerged in a metallic three-piece suit, surrounded by sunflowers. Parks' debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, released this year, and featured "Hope" as the latest single, following "Caroline," "Hurt," and "Eugene."

Other performers of the night included the likes of Dua Lipa, Brit rising star Griff, The Weeknd, Coldplay, Olivia Rodrigo, Headie One, and a special performance of "It's A Sin" by Olly Alexander and Sir Elton John, plus a performance from Rag 'n' Bone Man and P!Nk, featuring the NHS Greenwich choir.

Bully’s Alicia Bognanno covered Pj Harvey’s “Dry” as part of Sounds of Savings’ “Song That Found Me at the Right Time” series, in partnership with the American Association of Suicidology.

Bognanno’s rendition appears five minutes into the video, as she rips through the track on guitar as a chihuahua peers through the doorway. “Her vocal delivery is always just unbelievable,” she said of Harvey. “There was a point in time where I was just listening to that on repeat, and I feel like it was the only...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called for the arrest of Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., and lawyer Rudy Giuliani for their roles in inciting the “insurrection” attempt at the Capitol Wednesday.

“Are we a nation of laws, or are we a nation of one man? Donald J. Trump called for the insurrection against the United States of America. He called for it. Rudy Giuliani called for combat justice just an hour or two before this happened. Donald Trump Jr. said ‘We are coming for you,'” Scarborough said on Thursday’s episode.

Love it or hate it, one of the things that makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe work is the long term synergy. With Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, over a decade of movies came together to pull off one of the most entertaining spectacles of our time. It’s a universe that, for the most part, feels consistent and it builds on itself as each movie feels like an essential cog in a larger machine.

Some cogs are bigger than the others, though, and when it comes to “the others,” one can’t help but notice that 2008’s Incredible Hulk is something of a black sheep in the Marvel movie roster. These days, they’re just starting to dust it off as a property with the return of Tim Roth’s Abomination in She-Hulk and William Hurt’s General Ross’ gradually increasing role in the universe itself (he’ll appear...

1. “Bridgerton” Season 1

Why Should I Watch? Starring “Derry Girls” icon Nicola Coughlan and featuring Julie Andrews as a narrator named Lady Whistledown, Shonda Rhimes’ first Netflix original series already has three solid gold reasons to try out the hipper, hotter version of “Downton Abbey,” but here are a few more details. The period drama is based on Julia Quinn’s historical romance novels, where Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. But the eight-book series obviously needs more than just one character’s love story to fill all those pages, so you can expect to see the other Bridgerton children caught up in romantic entanglements of their own.

Bonus Reason: A sexy period drama from the mind behind “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal” that’s also an adaptation of a massively popular book series where all...
