One of the biggest surprises on Oscar-nominations morning was the omission of James Franco. The multi-hyphenate, who directed and starred in the critically lauded comedy The Disaster Artist, was well on track to get a best-actor nod for his kooky portrayal of cult filmmaker Tommy Wiseau. But just days before Oscar voting wrapped up, allegations of inappropriate and sexually exploitative behavior surfaced against Franco, derailing his awards-season campaign. (Franco, via his attorney Michael Plonsker, denied the accusations.) According to at least […]

Over the course of the show’s run, Tyrion has […]
Perhaps the biggest story on the U.S. charts this week is the incredible rise of Bruno Mars’ new single “Finesse,” which has jumped from just inside the Top 40, where it debuted last frame, all the way to No. 3. The ‘90s-leaning tune, which features Cardi B on the single version, is now a certified success, and while that’s great for the two musicians involved, it’s bigger than just a chart placement for […]
Celebrating her 72nd birthday today, Parton's rare original 1965 version of this song became her very first pop chart entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKYJMOA_u1s Dolly Rebecca Parton, born January 19th, 1946, in tiny Locust Ridge in the SmokyMountains of east Tennessee, turns 72 years old today.
