Is Ciara pregnant?

Since 2017, Ciara and Russell Wilson have welcomed three children. In fact, she is a mother of four.

Now, fans are asking about Baby #5.

Ciara and her husband are also talking about it. How soon will they expand their family? Is she already pregnant?

On ‘Today with Jenna & Friends,’ Ciara directly fielded questions about having another baby. (Image Credit: NBC) Is Ciara pregnant with Baby #5?

Ciara joined Jenna Bush Hager to co-host Wednesday’s episode of Today with Jenna & Friends. During the episode, she showcased her rum brand in massive glasses.

“Do you think y’all are going to have baby No. 5?” Bush Hager asked during the show’s “Sip or Spill” segment. (Every title on this show sounds like it’s for preschoolers)

Ciara already shares three children with her husband, Russell Wilson. She also has another child with her former fiance, Future.

Wednesday Addams isn’t exactly a big fan of Turkey Day. Still, the pigtailed problem child is making an appearance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, courtesy of a morbid Netflix float.

Flanked by an army of lookalikes, the float features a giant Wednesday presiding over a pile of rotting food and worms, as well as her brother Pugsley with his head on a platter. The float will be accompanied by a performance of the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” by indie-pop artist Bishop Briggs.

Wednesday Addams has long loathed Thanksgiving. In 1993’s “Addams Family Values,” the character (as played by Christina Ricci) is cast as Pocahontas in a holiday-themed play at summer camp. But instead of sticking to the script, Wednesday disrupts the production to call out the historical injustices suffered by Indigenous peoples in the United States.

“We cannot break bread with you,” she says in the play to the pilgrims,...

Heads might roll following this recent development. Today is Thanksgiving, a day to give thanks and be thankful for family, friends, and some great food that hopefully leaves you in a massive food coma. It's a day that most enjoy, but not Wednesday Addams. On the Netflix series Wednesday, the titular character portrayed by Jenna Ortega famously hates the Thanksgiving holiday and everything that comes along with it. So, in the spirit of good fun, the streamer has added the character, alongside Thing and Pugsley, to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the Wednesday float is featured alongside several lookalike Wednesday performers and accompanied by a live rendition of the Rolling Stones classic, "Paint It Black," performed by Bishop Briggs. The float features Wednesday serving her brother Pugsley's head (in float-form) on a silver platter, with Thing perched right on her shoulder. If this float was to happen,...

Not since the Deltas revved up the Deathmobile has a parade seen a float this dark.

Netflix on Thursday debuted a Wednesday-themed float as part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; see a first photo below, ahead of the float hitting the streets.

In what almost feels like a cruel prank, Netflix is celebrating Thanksgiving this year in the most ironic way possible with the help of a gargantuan Wednesday-themed float as part of The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. While fans of the hit series will love seeing a humongous version of Jenna Ortega’s darkly comedic character takeover the bustling streets of Manhattan, it’s certainly not a choice we saw coming when considering Wednesday’s feelings about the annual holiday. Nonetheless, not only will a float dedicated to the beloved Tim Burton-backed production be making its way down towards 34th Street alongside favorites like the Bluey and Pillsbury Doughboy balloons, but a gaggle of Wednesday impersonators will also be joining the float for its journey. Along its route, the Wednesday float will pull over for a special appearance from Bishop Briggs, who will perform her song, “Paint it Black.

Forget the turkey, Wednesday Addams is serving her brother’s head as the main dish for the holiday.

At the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City this year, Netflix will debut a float of Addams, being the most festive she can — serving her brother Pugsley’s head on a platter with Thing by her side. Additionally, there will also be an army of Wednesday lookalikes and a special performance of “Paint it Black” by the indie-pop singer Bishop Briggs.

The celeb-packed lineup for the parade will be led by Alison Brie, Idina Menzel and T-Pain. Special appearances will be made by Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Kylie Cantrall, Lea Salonga, Jonathan Bennett, Liza Colón-Zayas, Tom Kenny, Ginna Claire Mason and members of the New York Liberty, with mascot Ellie the Elephant.

The Radio City Rockettes will perform along with castmembers from Broadway shows like Death Becomes Her, Hell...

In 1982, Prince urged everyone to “Party like it’s 1999.” Aiming to party somewhere roughly in the middle of that timespan is “Weekend in Taipei,” a throwback in the sense that it recalls the unpretentious — if also unmemorable — pleasures of many boilerplate action movies released in the peak Vcr era. Luc Besson is both a co-writer and producer on this French-Taiwanese enterprise, which provides George Huang his first directorial feature in some time, 30 years after his very different debut, “Swimming With Sharks.”

With “Fast & Furious” alumni Luke Evans and Sung Kang as the male leads, this tale of a DEA agent venturing East to battle a crime syndicate raises expectations of flashy chase and fight scenes. Those are duly met, even if the script Huang and Besson have devised is flimsy stuff. These 100 minutes offer the kind of energetic, no-brainer fun you may remember little of the morning after — but...

The legendary photographer shot Duran Duran at their Danse Macabre Halloween Party at Madison Square Garden on Halloween (October 31) in New York City.

Stars like Amanda Lepore were in attendance to enjoy the sold-out show, as well as at the after party hosted at The Stranger.

Keep reading to find out more…

The Danse Macabre Halloween Party was originally conceptualized in 2022, and is now immortalized on their 16th studio album, Danse Macabre, blending new music, themed covers, and darkly reimagined versions of classic tracks, like “Nightboat,” “Love Voudou,” “Secret Oktober 31st,” Billie Eilish‘s “Bury a Friend” and The Rolling Stones‘ “Paint it Black.”

Duran Duran have announced the release of an exciting new live concert film, Secret Oktober, available exclusively on StagePlayer+ from Friday 25th October, in time for Halloween 2024.

Secret Oktober presents the origin story of Duran Duran’s latest studio album, Danse Macabre. The concert film was recorded at the Encore Theatre at Wynn, Las Vegas, October 31st, 2022. Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor, in full costume, took to the stage complete with 20-foot high skeletons, tombstones, cobwebs, coffins and ghouls, for a unique, themed set. The ultimate Halloween party ensued.

The concert film includes a parade of rarities and special covers – Duran Duran’s first live performance of ‘Secret Oktober’ since 2011, their first of ‘Love Voodoo’ since 2017, and first of ‘Nightboat’ since 2005. Covers of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ ‘Spellbound’, Cerrone’s ‘Supernature’ and The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’ were also debuted in what has gone down in...

According to Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes, the band “unlocked an unexpected box of curiosity and creativity” when they started making their 2023 album, Danse Macabre. Now, the latest product of that newfound energy has arrived: “New Moon (Dark Phase),” a reimagined version of their 1984 song “New Moon On Monday.”

Released as a single ahead of the upcoming deluxe re-release of Danse Macabre, “New Moon (Dark Phase)” swaps out the original’s pulsing ‘80s synths with a more ethereal, modern arrangement, featuring contributions from former band member, Andy Taylor. Throughout, vocalist Simon Le Bon carries the melody, gracefully slipping into his upper register on the verses and delivering the chorus’ catchy hook.

Speaking about the release in a new statement, Rhodes explained that the inspiration sparked with Danse Macabre “was somehow still lingering,” which led the band to return to the studio for even more recording.

It's always risky reviving a beloved movie series long after the fact. The original Beetlejuice movie, about a malevolent spirit (Michael Keaton) who causes chaos for a family, came out back in 1988. Now, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has debuted in theaters, with original cast members like Keaton and Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz) returning for the occasion, along with newcomers like Jenna Ortega as Astrid. Could lightning strike twice?

That's a big yes. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice swept up nearly $150 million from around the world ($111 million domestic) in its opening weekend, already handily beating its budget of $100 million. According to The A.V. Club, it's the second best opening weekend in director Tim Burton's career, beaten only by Alice in Wonderland, which made $116 million domestically back in 2010.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is unique in that it uses mostly practical rather than computer-generated effects, very uncommon for a major spectacle movie like this today. I dunno if that...

Jenna Ortega confirms that Wednesday season 2 will bring back one key aspect of her character. Netflix's first attempt at the Addams Family spinoff show was released back in 2022, becoming a near-instant success. The show saw Ortega in the leading role, in a part that earned her her first Emmy nomination. Wednesday season 2 has now been confirmed, with a returning cast that includes Ortega, Emma Myers, Fred Armisen, and Joy Sunday, and new players that include Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Haley Joel Osment, and Heather Matarazzo.

In a Harper's Bazaar interview on her press tour for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Ortega speaks about one key element of Wednesday season 2.

In the clip, she referenced that she "pulled a good portion of [her] hair out." The actor said that the cello piece has been shot, and that she and the Wednesday team are now "moving on to the next one." Check out the full...

The Rolling Stones spent the last three months hitting football stadiums in major cities all across North America on their Hackney Diamonds tour. But it all wrapped up Sunday night at the New Thunder Ridge Nature Arena at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri. That’s a 20,000-seat outdoor amphitheater in the Ozarks that more typically hosts shows by the likes of Luke Bryan and Pitbull.

“This happens to be the last show of our U.S. tour,” Jagger told the crowd midway through the night. “It’s so great...

The Cheers theme song in the Frosted Flakes commercial creates a calming effect despite being a seemingly unusual choice. The song perfectly aligns with the commercial's message of finding a happy place during tough times. The Cheers theme song, written by Gary Portnoy, has been featured in various commercials, showcasing its lasting impact.

An August 2023 Frosted Flakes commercial features an unusual song choice, the theme song from the hit sitcom Cheers. Frosted Flakes, the sugar-coated corn flake cereal from Kellogg's, have been enticing children to the breakfast table since their introduction in 1952. However, the 12 grams of sugar per 1 cup serving of cereal have likely made guardians hem and haw while in the breakfast aisle since (via SmartLabel). To solve this, Frosted Flakes has done what sugary cereal brands have done for decades and advertised constantly, taking aim at children and the adults who shop for them.

Unlike a cereal like Honeycomb,...

The John Wick franchise is a love letter to classic movies with nods to Die Hard, Enter the Dragon, and The Matrix. From music cues to iconic scenes, John Wick movies reference cinematic history. With influences from Lawrence of Arabia to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, John Wick is a masterful homage to film classics.

From Enter the Dragon to Lawrence of Arabia, the John Wick franchise is jam-packed with references to classic movies. John Wick was conceived as a mishmash of the visual style of neo-noir, the fight choreography of martial arts movies, and the operatic violence of spaghetti westerns, so it makes sense that the franchise has drawn from a deep well of cinematic influences. From a nightclub named after a French heist film to a criminal underworld radio station named after a kung fu subgenre, the John Wick series has more movie homages and inside...

The Rolling Stones are back on the road after a two-year break from touring and the setlist has been revealed for their Hackney Diamonds Tour.

The tour is celebrating the band’s 2023 album of the same name, which was their first album of original material in nearly 18 years.

You can expect the band to perform a bunch of their greatest hits and some of the new songs too. If you haven’t listened to the new album yet, don’t worry as the band is only performing three new songs and the rest are classics!

1. Start Me Up

2. Get Off of My Cloud

7. Mess...

The Rolling Stones kicked off their “’24 Hackney Diamonds” tour at Nrg Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday night, playing an 18-song set that mixed greatest hits, fan favorites, and material from their latest album.

The night appropriately kicked off with “Start Me Up,” followed by “Get Off My Cloud,” “Rocks Off,” and “Angry” from the recently released Hackney Diamonds. Other notable song selections included “Beast of Burden,” which was played as the result of a fan vote; the live debut of “Mess It Up” from Hackney Diamonds; and the first live performance of the Keith Richards-sung “Little T&a” since 2016.

To close the set, The Stones ran through classics like “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Miss You,” “Paint It Black,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Check out photos and video from the show plus the full setlist below.

Few bands have contributed music to as many great films as The Rolling Stones. The iconic rock band, hailed as one of the greatest of all-time, dominated pop culture throughout the 1960s, and the group continues to be popular today. Songs like “Sympathy For The Devil,” “Sweet Virginia,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Emotional Rescue” have been used countless times in movies, television shows, and trailers. For instance, Stanley Kubrick notably used "Paint It Black" in Full Metal Jacket. But there’s one director that has a particular affinity for the music of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and their former bandmates. Martin Scorsese has sampled The Rolling Stones throughout his filmography, but one film’s use of one of their most beloved songs created one of the most iconic moments in his entire filmography.

Sum 41 have dropped their final album, Heaven :x: Hell, a double LP featuring pop-punk on one disc and heavy metal on the other. Stream the full project below.

The 20-track album follows the punk veterans’ retirement announcement in May 2023 after nearly three decades as a band. It includes the singles “Landmines,” “Rise Up,” and “Waiting on a Twist of Fate.”

“I love Sum 41, what we’ve achieved, endured, and stuck together through, which is why I want to call it quits,” vocalist Deryck Whibley said in a statement. “There were so many times we could’ve broken up. For some reason, we kept sticking it out. I’m proud of that. It’s the right time to walk away from it.”

He continued, “I’m putting all of my energy into what’s ahead. This is going to be the biggest tour of our lives,...

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones has thrilled fans with the announcement of their upcoming tour of their Hackney Diamonds album, set to take place in 16 cities across the United States and Canada.

Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones are known for songs like “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Satisfaction.” The tour, promoted by Aeg Presents’ Concerts West, will kick off on April 28 and conclude on July 17. Lead singer Mick Jagger will be joined by fellow founding members Keith Richards on guitar and Ronnie Wood on guitar, who officially became a member of the band in 1976.

The band is sponsored by AARP, an influential U.S. interest group that focuses on issues that affect individuals over the age of 50. This partnership highlights the appeal and cross-generational impact of The Rolling Stones’ music.

The announcement should come as no surprise to fans, as the band has shown no signs of slowing down after seven decades,...

Deep Purple have announced a “Super Deluxe Edition” of their classic 1972 album Machine Head, featuring new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes by Dweezil Zappa. In fact, you can hear Zappa’s new mix of the iconic “Smoke on the Water” below.

The box set, which arrives March 29th via Rhino, features a vinyl version of the album with Zappa’s new 2024 remix, in addition to three CDs and a Blu-ray audio disc. The first CD contains the original mix and the Zappa mix. The second one features a concert recorded on March 9, 1972, at the Paris Theatre in London. And the third CD contains a previously unreleased concert recorded in April 1971 at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland.

The Blu-ray audio disc, meanwhile, boasts Zappa’s Dolby Atmos mix, the 1974 US quad mix, and a Dolby 5.1 surround mix of select tracks.

Zappa says of Machine Head in a press release, “It’s...

The Rolling Stones’ No Filter tour continues.

Announced in 2017, the legendary rock band is preparing to return to the stages after taking a break for over two years. The last tour date they performed was November 23, 2021, in Hollywood, Florida.

The tour has faced quite a bit of setbacks. In March 2019, frontman Mick Jagger had to undergo a heart operation, postponing that year’s North American leg of the tour. Then in 2020, much like the rest of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic forced another North American leg postponement. The following year, drummer Charlie Watts had to sit out the rest of 2021 tour dates due to a reported heart surgery. Watts died that year on August 24.

The English rock band hasn’t been on tour since 2021. The upcoming tour in April will be the first tour since Watts’ death.

The No Filter tour will include stops in cities like Seattle, Denver and Los Angeles.

Sum 41 have officially announced their final album, Heaven :x: Hell. The double LP is set to drop on March 29th, and the video for the new single “Rise Up” can be streamed now.

The raucous track sees the pop-punk vets in prime form, as frontman Deryck Whibley dishes out nasally vocal hooks to the song’s pogo-ready rhythm. While Sum 41 have declared the upcoming double album their last, “Rise Up” doesn’t sound like a band running out of steam. Instead, they’re going out on top.

News of the album follows Sum 41’s retirement announcement earlier this year. For Whibley, the 20-track Heaven :x: Hell — which pairs a pop-punk “Heaven” disc with the more heavy metal “Hell” flip-side — felt like a proper conclusion.

“Once I heard the music, I was confident enough to say, ‘This is the record I’d like to go out on,’” Whibley said via a press release.

The Rolling Stones have been pretty busy this year.

In October, they released their newest studio album, Hackney Diamonds, and now they’ve announced a new tour.

The tour will have Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Woods travel to 16 cities in both the U.S. and Canada. It’s scheduled to kick off in Houston on April 28 next year and is set to end in Santa Clara, California, in July.

This will be the first concert tour since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.

“Ever since Charlie’s gone it’s different, he’s number four,” Richards told Jimmy Fallon last month.”He’s missing, he’s up there. Of course he’s missed incredibly.”

Last month, they performed in a New York club with Lady Gaga and sang a mix of their new songs with their older classics.

Ask Bill Wyman what people should expect from The Stones and Brian Jones, documentarian Nick Broomfield’s new film about the late, doomed founder of the band, and he’s pretty straightforward about it: “The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but!”

That may be a slight exaggeration, but there’s no denying that the documentary, for which the former Rolling Stones bass player was a “historical consultant,” delves into the highs (laterally and figuratively) and lows of the man who started the Stones but never lived past the Sixties.

In the weeks before the release of The Stones and Brian Jones, Nick Broomfield’s documentary about the first casualty of the Rolling Stones’ rise to prominence, the band released its 24th (in the UK; 26th in the US) studio album. And as part of the release of Hackney Diamonds, the band’s first studio release in seven years, the Stones’ PR machine went into overdrive. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard made the rounds and, among other topics, often touched on the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts and its impact on the band. These interviews have tended to be fascinating affairs; such is the state of things when members of rock royalty hit the promotion trail.

One name that was barely mentioned is Brian Jones. That is not altogether surprising; even though Jones was the band’s founder and its first leader, he died more than 50 years ago. But...

Duran Duran are getting into the Halloween spirit with Danse Macabre, a witchy new album featuring a mix of new songs and covers of classics by Billie Eilish, Talking Heads, and more. Check it out below via Apple Music or Spotify.

The new wave legends’ 16th studio album was inspired by a “crazy” Halloween show Duran Duran put on last year. Rather than going full “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” however, Danse Macabre doesn’t take itself too seriously. “It’s supposed to be fun!” singer Simon Le Bon explained in a statement.

That said, original compositions like its title track — which we named Song of the Week — coexist alongside covers of Billie Eilish’s “Bury a Friend,” Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer,” and The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black.” The project also features some special guests, including former guitarist Andy Taylor and legendary artist Nile Rodgers on the song “Black Moonlight.

The music industry’s biggest artists can earn a good chunk of change these days by selling the rights to their musical catalogs, but Mick Jagger isn’t so sure that The Rolling Stones will be the next band to cash out. In fact, they might donate the money from their extensive discography to charity instead.

The Rolling Stones are as much of a brand as a rock ‘n’ roll band, and fans know Jagger has maintained a strong hand in the group’s business dealings. Take his interview with The Wall Street Journal Magazine — where he discussed selling the copyrights to the band’s music — as proof. Still, he scoffed at the idea of a sale, quipping, “the children don’t need $500 million to live well. Come on.” Approving the suggestion that the money could go to charity instead of his estate, Jagger added, “You maybe do some good in the world.

Duran Duran have shared their funky new song “Black Moonlight,” one of the band’s three originals from their upcoming Halloween-inspired, largely covers album Danse Macabre.

For the track, Duran Duran reunited with longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers, who previously produced the band’s 1986 LP Notorious, in addition to other contributions throughout the decades.

“‘Black Moonlight’ is this classic Duran Duran-Nile Rodgers collaboration,” Simon Le Bon said in a statement. “When Nile started playing his guitar in the studio, he really inspired everyone with his riff, and the song just kind of wrote itself.

Duran Duran throw a virtual monsters’ ball in their video for “Danse Macabre,” the title track of their upcoming album, which comes out just before Halloween on Oct. 27. The music features the return of the band’s former guitarist, Warren Cuccurullo, since he left the group in 2001.

The animated clip, for which creative director Linc Gasking, used AI technology, shows Dracula, Pennywise, Nosferatu, and other baddies dancing and monster-mashing as the members of Duran Duran, who, of course, look undead here, perform the spooky song. “Get dirty up on a danse macabre,...

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with Netflix, for this edition, we look at how production design, costume design, and visual effects of “Wednesday” all came together to build a world worthy of Wednesday Addams.

If there isn’t already, one day there will be an “Addams Family” filter on Instagram: something that makes you look gaunter and paler and turns all your clothing black and white. There’s a nebulous pop culture idea of what an Addams Family story looks like — some combination of spooky mist and gothic arches and a lot of eyeshadow — but executing a contemporary version of Charles Addams’ creations and shaping it around precocious daughter Wednesday requires a level of specificity that goes beyond an all-black mandate — although adapting everything up to and...

In the first episode of “Wednesday,” Jenna Ortega’s title character plays a cello cover of The Rolling Stones’ goth anthem “Paint It Black.” Pulling off such a scene required licensing the song, orchestrating a new arrangement of it, and teaching Ortega how to play it — all while the traditional scoring process was taking place. It’s a fusion of old and new that helped make the show a cultural phenomenon when it debuted on Netflix in November 2022. And while the production team might have made it look easy, it required intense coordination between multiple departments.

That type of collaboration was a recurring theme to be celebrated at IndieWire’s Consider This Event on Saturday June 3. IndieWire hosted nearly 200 TV Academy, guild members, and other industry in attendance for a packed event at NeueHouse Hollywood that included a welcome reception, buffet lunch, items raffled by Rabbit Hole whiskey, Stanley cupware,...

In their latest edition of “First Drafts of Rock,” Kevin Bacon and Jimmy Fallon have taken on the Rolling Stones’ 1966 hit “Paint It, Black.” In the clip, filmed for The Tonight Show, Bacon embodies Mick Jagger while Fallon becomes Keith Richards.

In their “first draft” of the rock song, the pair croon, “I go to Michaels/ And I ask, ‘Where is the paint?’/ They tell me, ‘Aisle 6’/ That’s where they keep the paint.” Later, the lyrics get even more meta: “I see a can of paint/I want to paint the paint.

The Rolling Stones are receiving a “love letter” from famous fans for their 60th anniversary.

Stoned Cold Country is a tribute album which imagines their greatest hits from artists like Jimmie Allen, Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Eric Church, Steve Earle, Elle King, Marcus King, Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde, Maren Morris, Elvie Shane, Koe Wetzel, The War And Treaty, Lainey Wilson & Zac Brown Band.

Entertainment executive Robert Deaton spent the last few years working on a project to “namely to shine a light on the Stones’ influence not only on Country music at large, but more specifically on some of its most convention-busting contemporary artists.”

Jenna Ortega reveals “Wednesday” had a filming schedule that left her in tears.

Speaking at a Netflix-hosted Q&a panel in Hollywood on Thursday, the star recalled their intense work hours while filming for the hit show, which included lessons outside of filming.

“It was show up to set two hours early, do that 12-14 hour day, then go home and then get on a Zoom and have whatever lesson that I had. Or show up to my apartment, my cello teacher was already waiting for me,” Ortega said, via Variety. “It was just constantly going, and if you could on a weekend, if we weren’t shooting the sixth day that week, it was ‘All right, well then, we’ll get your lessons in on that day.’”

Netflix's "Wednesday" took Netflix, TikTok, and the world by storm when it debuted last fall. The show earned fans for its goth teen aesthetic, an infectious dance scene, and an all-star performance by "Scream" and "X" actor Jenna Ortega. As Wednesday, Ortega was by far the best part of the series, and she made embodying the scowling, mystery-solving teen look effortless. But according to the actress herself, portraying the classic character was actually anything but simple.

At a Netflix Q&a event covered by Variety this week, Ortega opened up about the stressful preparation and shooting conditions for "Wednesday," which make the show sound like a lot more work than one might expect from a typical full-time job. Wednesday Addams is a prodigy-like jack-of-all-trades, and Ortega attempted to bring as much realism to the role as she could by practicing an array of activities that include playing the cello,...

Jenna Ortega had a lot to learn in order to portray “Wednesday” in the hit Netflix series of the same name, from fencing to speaking German to canoeing and playing the cello.

Speaking at a Netflix-hosted Q&a panel in Hollywood on Thursday, the SAG-nominated actor broke down just how intense the filming schedule was.

“It was show up to set two hours early, do that 12-14 hour day, then go home and then get on a Zoom and have whatever lesson that I had. Or show up to my apartment, my cello teacher was already waiting for me,” Ortega said. “It was just constantly going, and if you could on a weekend, if we weren’t shooting the sixth day that week, it was ‘All right, well then, we’ll get your lessons in on that day.’”

Kim Kardashian is entering a new era as the reality TV star is single and working out in lingerie at the gym.

The newly blonde beauty revealed an artsy video that featured her at a fitness center while she wore skin-colored lingerie.

Kim wore a matching skin-colored bra and underwear set from her Skims shapewear line. She paired the lingerie with thigh-high tan boots featuring heels in an impractical workout ensemble.

Fans have wondered what was next for the reality TV star, who constantly reinvents herself to stay relevant.

Kim’s last era, featuring her boyfriend of nine months, Pete Davidson, saw her go bleach blonde for the 2022 Met Gala. She also lost a considerable amount of weight– 21 pounds.

Kim went old school for the shoot, grabbing a camcorder with a viewfinder and filming herself in the mirror.

The Rolling Stones spent the past two months bringing their No Filter tour to enormous football stadiums all over America, but they wrapped it up Tuesday night at the relatively intimate Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. The casino amphitheater seats a mere 7,000 people as opposed to the stadiums with roughly ten times that amount. (Tickets were upwards of $2,000, and were going for even more on the resale market.)

The set was somewhat condensed at 17 songs as opposed to the 19 played in most cities, but they still packed in most of the standards,...

This week is the 30th anniversary of U2’s landmark album Achtung Baby, and they’re marking the occasion by announcing vinyl reissues of the album (out Nov. 19) and a 50-track digital box set (out Dec. 3), which will feature 22 songs that have never been released digitally.

They’ve also re-teamed up with the Berlin-based French artist Thierry Noir, who created the band’s iconic Trabant cars on the 1992 Zoo TV tour, for a new art installation at Hansa Studios in Kreuzberg, Germany. It includes a newly pained Trabant car and...

The news about Charlie Watts, who died yesterday at 80, deeply impacted the Rolling Stones drummer’s colleagues and peers — but also subsequent generations of rockers. Like the Stones, the Black Keys cut their teeth on blues songs and went on to write their own material, songs that never lost sight of their gritty origins.

For the last show of their 50th-anniversary tour, at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center in December 2012, the Stones invited the Black Keys to join them onstage. (Other guests: Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, and John Mayer.

Charlie Watts’ drums were the foundation of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the songs, got the most press, and were the most visible members, but Watts dictated the style. Besides being named to Vanity Fair’s “Style” Hall of Fame, Watts kept the Stones’ sound intact and impeccable, regardless of whatever the songwriters brought into the studio.

There is an incident recounted in the 2010 memoir Life, by Richards and James Fox, about a mid-1980s party which hits the nail on the head. Mick drunk-dialed Charlie’s hotel room in the middle of the night to invite him to a party which was raging. Jagger demanded to know “Where’s my drummer?” Watts showed up. He’d showered, shaved, put on a suit and a tie, beautiful shoes, freshly shined, and “you could smell his cologne.” He walked up to the Rolling Stones’ frontman, grabbed him by the lapel,...

The Rolling Stones have just announced a previously unreleased concert film, Steel Wheels Live, which documents a 1989 show in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with cameos from Eric Clapton, Axl Rose and more. The film drops September 25th via Eagle Rock Entertainment.

At the end of December 1989, the Stones played three gigs at the Convention Center in Atlantic City to wrap up an extensive trek — their first in North America since 1981 — that had begun in August in support of their latest LP Steel Wheels. The penultimate gig, on December 19th, was...

It appears that Activision may be teasing Call of Duty 2020 via a mysterious new listing on the Microsoft Store for a game known as The Red Door.

As noted by PC Gamer, a listing for a previously unconfirmed Activision game known only as The Red Door has been posted to the Microsoft Store very recently. The description for the game reads: “There is more than one truth. If you go looking for answers, be ready to question everything and accept that nothing will ever be the same. The Red Door awaits, do you dare step through it?” It’s described as a shooter with a Mature rating and an install size of 81.65 Gb. Beyond that, the listing doesn’t include any more substantial information about the game.

When you think about it, that’s kind of odd. After all, Activision is one of the largest video game publishers in the world,...
