Cher knows that you want to know why she’s out and about with a man nearly 40 years younger than her. Now she’s got a reason that should finally kill your nosy speculation: “Men my age or older, well, now they’re all dead.” Can’t argue with that! Cher made the admission on The Jennifer Hudson Show without explicitly referring to the 38-year-old music executive she’s been spending time with, Alexander Edwards. [Read More]

Emmy Insider The Emmy race is here! Vulture is taking a close look at the nominees until voting closes on August 29. Emmy Insider The Emmy race is here! Vulture is taking a close look at the nominees until voting closes on August 29.

Child’s Play, the new slasher reboot of the Chucky franchise, directed by Lars Klevberg, half works.

Unfortunately, Child’s Play is undone by a lack of tension even its best performances can’t conjure, and a familiar story that only skips lightly along the surface of gnarly ideas. [Read More]

Chris Brown and his longtime off-and-on girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, are having a particularly bad “off” period. In keeping with the times, this fight has taken place on Instagram and has devolved to Brown accusing Tran of seeing Drake behind his back (I mean … ). It all started when Tran posted an inspirational message: “When something bad happens, you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. [Read More]

Hardwick. An emotional Chris Hardwick welcomed viewers back to Sunday’s midseason premiere of AMC’s Talking Dead by thanking them for their support during the network’s investigation of emotional and sexual abuse claims made against him by ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra. “You know, normally I recap the show we’re about to talk about here, but instead, I really just want to take a minute and I want to say that I am so appreciative to be standing here right now,” he said at the top of the show.

Laurie Kilmartin. In their recent comedy-themed issue, The Hollywood Reporter published a controversial and unsubstantiated claim about the riches to be mined from the Los Angeles stand-up scene.

“Me so Christmas, me so merry.” “Regional Holiday Music” wasn’t the last episode of Community, but a part wouldn’t be too sad — more sad? — if it had been. There’s been a lot of build up for it this past week by people like me, because not only was it the final episode for a few months (probably), and not only was it a Christmas episode, meaning it had to contend with “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas,” it was also a Glee-parodying musical.
