 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  212 words  |  Zora Stowers

Howard Stern’s predilection for porn stars has been well documented over the years. From his frequent interviews with the likes of Tera Patrick and Mary Carey to Sybian rides to Jenna Jameson’s appearance in Private Parts, Stern has never met a porn star he hasn’t lusted after. Until now, that is. Sasha Grey, the porn star who is making a break for the mainstream with her role in The Girlfriend Experience, enraged Stern when she described him as “a closet racist” in an interview with Rolling Stone.

I Miss the Tom DeLonge Twang

Ask a Blink-182 fan to explain the band’s appeal and they’ll probably talk about the pop-punk trio’s ability to capture teenage angst, or their insanely catchy harmonies, or something about running through the streets naked. Among the most crucial components, though, was guitarist Tom DeLonge’s vocal approach, or what I affectionately refer to as the Tom DeLonge Twang. The Tom DeLonge Twang contorted words like “things” (“theeeengs”) and “my head” (“myy’eaad”) into a cartoonish California diction. [Read More]

Toward the end of his new comedy special, Baby J, John Mulaney tells the story of one of “the most desperate things” he did to get drug money prior to going to rehab for cocaine addiction at the end of 2020. During a stab at sobriety, Mulaney says, he had told his accountant to forbid him from taking cash out of his savings. But in August 2020, the comedian came up with a scheme to outsmart (or out-dumb) himself: Buy a luxury watch with his still-functioning credit card, then pawn it for cash five minutes later.

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  2 minutes  |  281 words  |  Elina Uphoff

Although there are many TikToks from members of Gen Z who find out their favorite actor has famous parents, it can still come as a shock when a familiar last name in a casting announcement isn’t just a coincidence. However, there is still hope for young actors without cinematically connected parents. When it came time for Idris Elba’s latest film, Beast, to cast the roles of his daughters, the film chose actresses Iyana Halley and Leaf Sava Jeffires, two people unrelated to Elba. [Read More]

Carey Mulligan in Collateral. For those who enjoy kicking back and relaxing while dour British women in coats unravel elaborate criminal schemes: (1) So do I, we should hang out sometime, and (2) you should watch Collateral, which debuted on Netflix in the U.S. earlier this month. Collateral stars Carey Mulligan as a former pole-vaulter turned very serious police detective, and at a mere four episodes, it’s a solid, easy-to-binge addition to the genre of TV best known as British Women Getting It Done.

The Schitt’s Creek star on her long career, sexism in comedy, and her favorite impressionists. Catherine O’Hara. Photo: Ryan Pfluger for Vulture Catherine O’Hara. Despite an impressively long career, Catherine O’Hara maintains a Canadian humility in person — first off, complimenting my hair. She’s something of a secret hair expert: She honed her skills styling herself and her fellow cast members during the early years of Second City on the Toronto stage in the ’70s, and later on SCTV, to help generate a variety of characters.

In Praise of Cycle 1 of Americas Next Top Model

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  450 words  |  Elina Uphoff

America’s Next Top Model is gearing up for a new season, its first co-ed “cycle” to date, although it’s tough to imagine Tyra Banks and pals coming up with anything truly new. This will be the show’s twentieth cycle! That’s a lot of people getting lost on go-sees, a lot of teetering on too-tight heels, a lot of weepy makeovers and grouchy in-fighting, and a lot of photo shoots where people have to confront fears (of bugs, heights, drowning).

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  5 minutes  |  1065 words  |  Sherie Connelly

Cody Horn. Cody Horn knows that you’re coming to the Steven Soderbergh-directed Magic Mike to watch some hot men strip, and that puts her in a bit of a bind: Her character, Brooke, is the one who’s trying to convince her brother Adam (Alex Pettyfer) and her potential love interest Mike (Channing Tatum) to stop peeling off their clothes for money. In real life, though, Horn has a much more liberal attitude toward her co-stars getting naked and silly: She loves it. [Read More]

In the Broadway Video offices, I asked a couple of staffers if they had tapes of The New Show. “Of course,” replied the taller one. “We have everything Lorne’s done.” “Why do you bring that up?” added the wider one. “I watched it every Friday night — well, the Friday nights it was on. It got yanked pretty early.” They stared at me. “You think a complete set of the show will ever be released? [Read More]
