The Wyatt Sicks have not been on TV for months and people are pissed. The group’s status has been a source of frustration after a promising start in the summer. There has been criticism of the creative surrounding the group since then. There have been comeback rumors aplenty, but nothing concrete yet. This has frustrated fans who were initially excited about the Sicks. Their last match was in December, where they lost an eight-man tag team match against the Final Testament.

The Wyatt Sicks’ absence has annoyed fans

Since that loss, they have been on a mysterious hiatus. There have been no updates. There were no appearances on the Netflix debut of Raw, and they were sent to Smackdown instead. No appearances still.

The world premiere of a new satirical play about the financial crash of 2008, starring Brian Cox, will open this year’s Edinburgh International Festival.

Make It Happen, written by James Graham (Sherwood, Quiz) and directed by Andrew Panton (Osage County, The Children, A Christmas Carol), artistic director of Dundee Rep Theatre, will mark the return of Succession star Cox to the Scottish stage for the first time in 10 years.

Make It Happen will open the annual arts fest in the Scottish capital and run for a week at the Festival Theatre from Aug. 1 to 9.

Set in Edinburgh, the play sees Cox portray Adam Smith, the pioneering Scottish philosopher and economist, and the ghost of fiscal past. Graham’s writing dives into the “unchecked growth, spiralling greed and nail-biting hubris that brought the world’s economy to its knees,” a plot synopsis read.

Cox said: “I’m excited to be doing...

Emily in Paris season 4 has officially come to an end with the release of part 2 on Sept. 12. Once again, the season finds Emily bumbling through professional and personal woes, but she does so with a bubbly spirit, a great fashion sense, and a catch soundtrack to back her up! And thankfully, there's a new Mindy original in season 4 part 2 for all of us to obsess over.

In the season 4 finale, Mindy joins Emily in Rome and hops on a piano in the piazza to play on an original song she has been writing. When the song goes viral online thanks to a tourist's video, Emily later names the song "Beautiful Ruins," and that's really what the song is: beautiful! Ashley Park couldn't be more talented, and it's so exciting that she sings another original song for the series.

Park also has a few additional music moments in part 2, much more...

While Mindy (Ashley Park) and co. gear up for the Eurovision Song contest in Season 4 of Emily in Paris, they have some time to practice their numbers. Whether it be a French rendition of a popular song, or the English hit itself, they often perform crowd-pleasers.

In the first episode of Hulu’s Under the Bridge, Reena Virk is trying to fit in with a new group of friends. Her way of bonding? Playing The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 opus Life After Death.

That album — his second — was released 16 days after the rap icon was gunned down to death. Virk, played by Vritika Gupta, jumps on the bed as she and other teenage girls rap the lyrics to “Kick in the Door.” In the second episode of the scripted series following the murder of the 14-year-old Indian-Canadian teen, the lyrical mastermind shows up again when Virk is invited to a vigil her classmates hold in honor of the future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. The teens live in the suburban municipality located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

The eight episodes of Under the Bridge not only tell the story of Virk, but also weave in The Notorious B.

8:07 p.m. — Quintavious is first called up and learns he has not made the Top 14 yet. He tries to convince the judges with a rendition of “Make it Happen” by Mariah Carey. He throws in the whistle note and everything, praying he’ll get the judges on his side. Luke says it’s the best performance they’ve seen from him yet. Quintavious walks off to the danger zone to hear his fate.

[Warning: The below contains spoilers for American Idol.] The American Idol hopefuls didn’t have much time to celebrate making it into the Top 20. That’s because they had to prepare to perform once again for the first live results show on Monday night. Based on America’s vote, another six went home.

When news broke in early February that Mariah Carey had booked a return ticket to Las Vegas to mount another residency, it was revealed that she would design the set list as a celebration of her 2005 blockbuster album, The Emancipation of Mimi.

It inspired the title of the exclusive run — The Celebration of Mimi — as well as the timing. Carey took the stage at Park MGM’s Dolby Live to launch the 16-date residency on April 12, 2024, exactly 19 years to the day after the album was released. It’s no surprise Carey wanted to commemorate the 14-track effort, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and brought the elusive chanteuse back into familiar territory at the top of the charts. The success of Emancipation of Mimi was fueled by the No. 1 smash “We Belong Together” and punctuated by singles “It’s Like That,” “Shake It Off,” “Get Your Number,” “Don’t Forget About Us,...

It’s been almost 20 years since Mariah Carey last won a Grammy, so when she received the Global Impact Award from the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective, she offered a dose of her signature comical shade.

“Is this a real Grammy? I haven’t seen one in soooooo long,” she said Thursday night as she held the award.

“It’s weird. I don’t know,” Carey continued while laughing as the audience at the Fairmont Century Plaza cheered her on. “We’ll figure out what this is later.”

Carey is easily one of the best-selling acts of all-time and holds the record for most No. 1 hits — 20 — by a solo artist. She’s been nominated for 34 Grammys, winning five: best new artist and best female pop vocal performance (“Vision of Love”) in 1991, as well as three R&b honors at the 2006 ceremony for “We Belong Together” and The Emancipation of Mimi.

It was a family affair for superstar songstress Mariah Carey as she brought her Merry Christmas One and All! tour to the Hollywood Bowl for two sold-out shows on Nov. 17 and 19.

Joining the superstar onstage both nights were her 12-year-old twins (with Nick Cannon), Moroccan and Monroe, or “Roc and Roe,” as the singer put it. Carey’s daughter, Monroe, joined her mom for a duet on a soaring “Jesus Born on This Day,” from Carey’s 1994 holiday album Merry Christmas, with Monroe also fronting a rollicking version of The Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping.” Moroccan made a brief appearance for “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane).” Upbeat versions — complete with all the “zhuzh,” Carey noted — of her Christmas standards started out the set list with cheer.

Sunday night saw cold Santa Ana winds sweep through the packed venue, where the sold-out crowd was adorned with festive sequined holiday...

Carly Rae Jepsen wants nothing more than to spend time with you (yes, you … really!) for “Anything to Be With You,” but for whatever reason, you don’t seem to be available, and she spends most of the video walking and twirling on city streets alone. “Anything you wanna do, I really wanna do with you,” she sings on the song, which leads off her recently released The Loveliest Time. “I can be friends with your friends, your friends/Anything to be with you.” Maybe she’s coming on a little too strong.

The French film Le Colosse aux Pieds d’Argile and UK-Australia series Ten Pounds Poms took the top fiction prizes at the 62nd annual Monte-Carlo Television Festival, which were handed out Tuesday in Monaco. See the full winners list below.

Mariah Carey is famous for topping the charts. In fact, she holds the record for the most number-one hits by a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 (19), and she became the first artist ever to hit number-one in four different decades. But of course no one can send every song they’ve recorded to the top of the charts. A number of Carey’s greatest hits didn’t reach the summit, but they belong in any discussion of her storied career. Scroll down for our countdown of her best non-chart-toppers.

Early in her career it was hard to find Carey singles anywhere but number-one. The first four from her very first album reached that position. The 1990s continued at that same pace: a whopping 14 of her chart leaders were released in that decade. The 2000s were less auspicious for her: she had career and tabloid trouble when her movie “Glitter” and its accompanying soundtrack underperformed.

Mariah Carey may be a household name when it comes to Christmas music or '90s and 2000s pop and R&b hits, but anyone attempting Mariah Carey Heardle knows her catalogue is far more extensive. This daily game is one of the latest musical spinoffs of the popular Wordle, and the latest in a growing collection of artist-specific Heardle games. Each day, players have six attempts to identify the day's Carey song from brief bursts of the start of the song.

With more than 200 unique or remixed songs over Carey's career so far, you might struggle to guess the correct song in such a short clip. To keep the game from being a "Heartbreaker," we've assembled the first lyrics of every Mariah Carey song from her studio albums. Good luck, Lambs, and keep that streak alive!

On Monday night, Billy Joel was one of the few faces lingering in the otherwise largely deserted Times Square. His face appeared high in the sky, beamed onto 12 giant digital billboards in the famously chaotic midtown Manhattan neighborhood. It simultaneously beamed into TVs and internet livestreams as part of the Rise Up New York! Covid-19 benefit telethon, which Joel brought to a close with his 1976 New York City anthem, “Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway).” A few blocks away, the lights of the Empire State Building sparkled in time with his piano.

Exclusive: Julissa Bermudez (Bet’s 106 & Park), Becky Ann Baker (Men in Black), Josh Mostel (Big Daddy), Miles G. Jackson (The Last O.G.) and Jonno Davies (Spotless) have been cast in key recurring roles in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video original series The Hunt, a vengeance-driven Nazi hunting series starring Al Pacino, Logan Lerman and Jerrika Hinton.

Executive produced by Oscar-winning Get Out writer-director Jordan Peele, The Hunt follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City. The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans.

Bermudez will play Maria, a nurse. Baker portrays Juanita Kreps, the Secretary of Commerce. Mostel is Rabbi Stecker of New York City.

Aside from its slate of international series developed with Zdf and Rai through the Alliance, France Televisions is set to co-produce a flurry of high-profile series aimed at global audiences, notably “Germinal,” “Josephine and Bonaparte” and the adaptation of Guillaume Musso’s bestseller “La jeune fille et la nuit.”

A modern adaptation of Émile Zola’s 1885 masterpiece, “Germinal” tells the story of a coalminers’ strike in northern France in the 1860s. Julien Lilti, the writer of Canal Plus hit series “Hippocrate,” is writing “Germinal” and will likely be collaborating with other writers. Banjiay Rights has come on board to handle international sales on the show which is currently in development.

Nathalie Biancolli, who has been spearheading France Televisions’s push into ambitious international series since joining the company in 2017, told Variety that “Germinal’ continues the pubcaster’s “tradition with historical drama series but will be tackling the genre in a...

SquareSpace has released their Super Bowl commercial and it features Keanu Reeves performing some dangerous stunt work on a motorcycle. You know, because Keanu Reeves likes to do things that are physically challenging. The ad is called "Make It Happen" and in it we see him standing on a motorcycle riding on a desolate highway. While doing this he is talking and uttering encouraging self-help inspiring phrases to himself. Then, for some reason, he starts to fly on his motorcycle. He apparently boosted his self-confidence up so much that it gave him the ability to fly. I just like Keanu Reeves so I wanted to share this.

I have so many ideas for this! During that season we got “Minority Report” and “Limitless,” I got angry about how many of these reboots/remakes/sequels are male-skewering and male-dominated and started making a list of all the movies I’d rather see instead – obviously ones that are more focused on telling stories about women and non-binary folks. “Whip It” could be a fantastic Freeform teen drama series (I’m still angry that...

Bill Skarsgård’s take on Pennywise the Dancing Clown became a pop-culture phenomenon before this year’s “It” even arrived in theaters. First made famous onscreen by Tim Curry in the 1990 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s tome, the interdimensional being is many things, but funny isn’t one of them.

Director Andrés Muschietti would appear to disagree, considering the caption to a drawing of Pennywise he’s shared on Instagram: “And here a little sketch i drew for pennywise’s ‘killmouth’ , one of the comedic highlights of the film.”

Jessica Chastain is one of Hollywood’s most outspoken feminists, speaking out about gender inequality and other issues on social media, Cannes press conferences, and talk shows.

After appearing in front of the camera and reading for the role of Angela, she’s given a simple direction: “Can you try it again, but hot?” She complies with the request by delivering her line in a breather way, which is met with another question: “This time can you try it sweet and modest…but also hot? And can you be younger?” It gets increasingly ridiculous from there (“Just like that,...

There are many filmmaking workshops, hosted by institutions ranging from Sundance to Ifp, that allow emerging directors to assess their next projects with a group of mentors. Shudder Labs falls in line with that tradition, but comes equipped with a special focus: The new creative retreat is exclusively designed for horror directors. Hosted by Shudder, the horror streaming platform owned by AMC Networks, Shudder Labs was run by former journalist and curator Sam Zimmerman and took place June 11–15 at the Mohonk Mountain House.

Seven filmmakers participated in the lab, taking guidance from mentors that included Sarah Adina Smith (“Buster’s Mal Heart”), Larry Fessenden (director, “The Last Winter”) and Lindsay Peters (Director of the Frontieres International Co-Production Market). The Masters-in-Residence were Mike Flanagan (director, “Ouija: Origin of Evil,” “Hush,” the upcoming Stephen King adaption “Gerald’s Game”) and Nick Antosca (screenwriter, “Channel Zero,” “Hannibal,” “The Forest”).

Cut back to the year 2007...2008. About ten years ago. The horrible accident known as Spider-Man 3 had just come out. While still a financial success, reviews and fans were less than favorable to the film. Regardless, Sony Pictures still had plans for Sam Raimi to develop one more Spider-Man film, but it never happened. Many people blame the studio. Some blame the failure of Spider-Man 3 and the truth is... it's kind of all of the above.

While it's true that Spider-Man 3 was not quite a hit with fans and critics, it still grossed a huge amount of money at the box office, which means, of course, Sony planned on following it up. The real problem was Sam Raimi was exhausted, and kind of disappointed in the previous film himself. He had a plan, but his writing partner and studios wanted more villains, and also wanted Venom. All of...

Each year, the Tribeca Film Festival fills out its schedule with a variety of events that extend far past the typical film fest fare, including their signature Tribeca Talks program and a continuing bent towards the possibilities of Virtual Reality. This year’s slate is no different, offering up intimate chats between industry luminaries (did you know that Robert Rodriguez and Barbra Streisand are pals? they are!) and special screening opportunities for projects both new (Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s “The Vietnam War”) and classic (a “Godfather” one-two punch). There’s a little something for everyone here.

This year’s Tribeca Film Festival takes place April 19 – 30. Check out some of our must-attend events below.

On Monday, HBO issued a press release basically declaring that Big Little Lies — its seven-part limited series starring — has quietly blossomed into a big-ish hit.

Per the cabler, the well-reviewed dramedy is averaging 7 million viewers across multiple platforms ahead of Sunday’s grand finale. Just as noteworthy, is the buzz that Big Little Lies is generating on social media (Sunday’s penultimate episode was trending on Twitter just behind The Walking Dead) and around the proverbial office water cooler (or in TVLine’s case, our fountain-soda machine). The series has all the makings of a pop culture phenomenon.

I’ve been a Nintendo fan for as long as I can remember, but I have a confession to make: their hardware has never quite grabbed me. The “Big N,” as they’re often called, are well-known for showing toymaker tendencies just as much — if not more — than game developer ones, and that’s often been reflected in the way their consoles and handhelds were built. Though I’ve always had plenty of affection for the chunky, colorful designs and goofy user interfaces of everything from the Nes to the 3Ds, I’ve always preferred my tech to be a bit more sleek and stylish (perhaps as a counterpoint to my own slovenly tendencies; if I can’t be pretty, at least my cache of devices can).

Enter the Nintendo Switch. Cringe if you want, but I’m not sure how else to express this: the Switch is easily the...

Vincent D’Onofrio has clearly had a lot of fun playing Wilson Fisk on Netflix’s Daredevil show, but ol’ Hornhead has other bad guys to fight and the Kingpin has never really been happy settling down with only one nemesis. So it makes sense that D’Onofrio would be keeping an eye out for other Marvel heroes he could be battling. As reported by Screen Rant, though, there’s one costumed hero he wants to face off against more than anyone else: Spider-Man.

Over the weekend, a Marvel fan page tweeted at D’Onofrio to ask if he’d want to “have a showdown” with current Spider-Man Tom Holland, prompting D’Onofrio to enthusiastically respond that he would indeed be into it.

Oh yes I would. Make it happen...

Given how popular Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin proved to be when he debuted back on season 1 of Daredevil, it’s actually a bit surprising that he hasn’t made the jump to the big screen yet. Especially given the fact that one of the biggest complaints lobbied against Marvel films is that they always fail to present compelling villains. With that in mind, you’d think that the studio would be eager to let Kingpin start doing some damage in the movies, but for some reason, it hasn’t happened yet.

Now that Spider-Man‘s back at Marvel and getting his very own solo film coming in July, many fans thought that maybe, just maybe, D’Onofrio would find his way into the flick for a quick cameo, possibly setting up a future appearance down the road. That’s something which could have worked out real well, but it...

The audience at the Stonewall Inn's Tuesday night benefit performance for the Newtown Action Alliance got a special surprise when Cate Blanchett took the stage. In an effort to raise money for the charity, which strives to end gun violence, the Oscar winner slayed a lip sync of Dusty Springfield's version of "You Don't Own Me" wearing a black tuxedo jacket, a sequined bra, and a whole lot of sass. Later on, the Ocean's Eight actress grabbed her pink pussyhat to sing backup on a protest-themed version of Adele's "Hello." In addition to making our day, it has reminded us - admittedly not for the first time - that we're all in dire need of a Carol musical. You hear that, movie studio execs? Make it happen.

The value of a Mariah Carey performance might have come into question in the past two weeks or so, but the “Make It Happen” singer says in a new lawsuit that she’s owed money by a “deceitful promoter” for concerts that she didn’t perform in Argentina and Chile. In a suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, Mirage Entertainment claims that Carey was forced to cancel two concerts in Argentina and Chile because promoter Feg Entretenimientos wasn’t holding up its part of the bargain — and the agreement was that Carey would be paid in full if she.

Ruth Negga may go from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the Academy Awards, which is no easy feat even for a Marvel superhero. The 34-year-old actress may be most recognizable for her comic book fare -- she also appeared in Warcraft: The Beginning and currently stars on AMC's Preacher -- but that very well may change because of Loving, a small, quiet film centered on the landmark court case that legalized interracial marriage. The film isn't actually about the case, though, it's about the Lovings behind Loving v. Virginia. What does it mean to her to get Oscar buzz for this movie?

"That people will know who Mildred and Richard Loving were," she explained. "It surprised me that more people don't know about them, because I think they're a couple that America should be extraordinarily proud of. The world should be proud of."
