Jimmy Kimmel’s powerful return to air in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires earned a spike in viewership last week, according to Nielsen ratings and ABC. The network has revealed that during the week of Jan. 13, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was up 45% in adults 18-49 vs. the previous week (0.16 vs. 0.11), making
One of the downsides of this era of music is the way a smash song can overshadow the artist: A singer who’s been earning their chops for more than a dozen years — like Teddy Swims has — can find themselves filed alongside a teenaged one-hit wonder who’s never recorded outside their bedroom. While Swims’ massive
Universal Music has filed a motion to dismiss Drake‘s petition for pre-suit deposition in Bexar County, Texas, citing lack of evidence in the rapper’s claims against the record company that it artificially inflated and promoted Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.” Drake filed two actions in Nov. 2024 — both not lawsuits, to be clear — first,

Directed by Jennifer Tiexiera and Guy Mossman, “Speak.” is the type of documentary one can easily imagine being adapted into a dramatic feature down the road. It has a linear and easily digestible narrative, vivid and empathetic protagonists and a format that unspools like a sports film, depicting the triumph and disappointment of competition. Following
We love L.A. Randy Newman famously gave us the melody for that phrase. For more than 100 years, Los Angeles has been the entertainment capital of the world — a city of dreamers, creators and innovators. But now, our city needs help. As someone who works in this industry, I’ve seen first-hand the impact of
The Easterseals Disability Film Challenge opens registration Saturday, allowing filmmakers to compete with their short films for a $5,000 seed fund/film finishing grant from Adobe, among other prizes.

I love all things horror, but I’ve never been someone to seek out hauntings in real life. Precisely because I’ve seen so many scary movies and know not to mess with that stuff — I’m not going to be the person shouting about how not scared I am right before some creature/demon/ghost slaughters/possesses/terrifies me. Still,

The documentary selection at this year’s Sundance celebrates the work of multiple BIPOC filmmakers shedding light on untold narratives of both celebrated and unduly neglected figures from their communities. “For a long time, people from the global South, those who are historically underrepresented, have been telling stories about themselves in their own circles. But they
Soledad O’Brien stopped by the Variety Studio presented by Audible at Sundance and scolded the American press for its coverage of Donald Trump. The former CNN host was highly critical of how the press covered Trump’s first administration, and she said her position has not changed as Trump’s second administration gets underway. “The media has
One month ahead of this year’s ceremony, France’s Cesar Academy has promised not to “spotlight” anyone accused of sexual or physical violence while issuing regulatory changes to curtail the voting rights of any Academy member facing legal accusations of that nature. If a member is ultimately convicted, they will be expelled from the Academy for
Sterling K. Brown is done crying every week.

Like a lot of multi-platform artists, FKA Twigs’ music can be hard to remove from the larger context: the videos, the fashion, the looks, the art projects, her incredible dancing, and, most of all, the larger concepts that always accompany her music. That’s one reason why her 2022 mixtape “Caprisongs” was such a breath of
Among another impressive stack of new horror titles looking to spook audiences at this year’s Sundance, “Rabbit Trap” joins a growing library of psychological folk horrors that have recently offered more (deeply) unsettling creeps than out-and-out scares.

I’m disarmed by the way Willy Chavarria’s name shows up in my email: bookended by red heart emojis. It’s how his publicist has saved him in her phone, and soon I’m struck by how accurately it captures the iconoclastic designer. Chavarria, 57, is one of the biggest talents in fashion right now, but he’s also
