‘The View’ Appalled By Chris Christie’s Claim That He Doesn’t “Have To” Vote In The 2024 Presidential Election: “You’re Going To Sit This One Out?!”
The View always gets fiery when Chris Christie stops by, but today was especially heated. The former New Jersey governor had plenty to say after watching the final evening of the Republican National Convention last night (July 18), and while he maintained that he won’t be supporting Republican nominee Donald Trump at the polls this fall, he still caused plenty of chaos around the Hot Topics table. Christie told the panel that he thinks President Joe Biden needs to drop out of the race, but when Ana Navarro asked him if he would “vote for a Democratic ticket” — noting...

Bob Newhart’s Movies, Remembered: His Unique Hilarity Was Not Just Limited To TV
It is rare for any performer — and particularly rare for any comedic performer — to debut as a fully-formed talent. Bob Newhart, who died yesterday at age 94, was precisely that. His gifts as both a performer and a writer seemed to have been honed to perfection when he recorded his first album as a standup, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart. A trained accountant who gave himself a year to make it in comedy, his intricately crafted and meticulously delivered monologues took his audience into one-sided phone calls of monumentally absurd dimensions. The leadoff cut on Button-Down was...

Kelly Ripa Delivers Harsh Truth To Mark Consuelos On ‘Live’ After He Claims He “May Have Just Caught Up” To Her: “Not Yet”
According to Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos hasn’t caught up to her just yet. On Friday’s installment of Live with Kelly and Mark, Consuelos was hesitant to begin reading a particular article aloud, telling the audience, “I don’t know if I want to get into this” and assuring them that he “didn’t write this article.” “Nah, I don’t want to get this… Ok, I’ll get into it,” he said, before reading aloud,”‘Sorry ladies’ — Aw, man — ‘Males really are better at navigating.'” “Male what?” Ripa deadpanned. “Male humans.” Consuelos confirmed and continued reading, “‘[The] study confirm boys give more accurate directions than girls at...
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’: Anthony Anderson Thinks Trump Is Going To Make A “Move” On Matt Gaetz After Seeing His “Fresh New Look”
The Republican National Convention had many memorable moments this week — including the fake ear bandages — but one politician managed to show up even Donald Trump with his appearance: congressman Matt Gaetz. Gaetz took the RNC stage this week, where he debuted his “fresh new look,” sparking rumors that he may have gotten some work done. And Jimmy Kimmel Live guest host Anthony Anderson couldn’t let the moment go without cracking a joke or two about the politician. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’: Anthony Anderson Calls Out Republicans’ “Solidarity And Stupidity” As They Wear Fake Ear Bandages At The RNC “Woah, I mean he...
Natalie Portman Goes Full ‘Mare of Easttown’ With her ‘Lady in the Lake’ Baltimore Accent
Apple TV+‘s new murder mystery series Lady in the Lake follows two harrowing crimes in 1960s Baltimore. First, a little Jewish girl named Tessie Durst (Bianca Belle) disappears only to be discovered dead in a local lake. Her death causes massive reverberations in the community, dominating headlines and exposing fissures in the tight knit Jewish community. Then, a Black woman named Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram) also is murdered and left in the same lake, prompting far less outrage. It’s a one-two punch of horror based on two real life crimes in 1960s Baltimore and Natalie Portman‘s Maddie Morgenstern finds herself...
‘Skywalkers: A Love Story’ Is the Latest Netflix Documentary to Reward Stupid Behavior
Skywalkers: A Love Story—which began streaming on Netflix today—attempts to convince viewers that the act of dangling off the edge of an 118-story skyscraper for the sake of the ‘gram is inspiring, romantic, and admirable. Whether audiences will be fooled by this carefully-spun narrative remains to be seen. But I, for one, hope that viewers—especially young, impressionable viewers whose brains have not yet fully developed—will see the film’s influencer subjects for who they are really are: Narcissistic, reckless, and, quite frankly, stupid. Written and directed by Jeff Zimbalist, and co-written by Maria Bukhonina, Skywalkers documents the life of Angela Nikolau...

Tom Sandoval is back to playing the blame game. Just one day after the Vanderpump Rules star sued his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix, he announced that he dropped the lawsuit. Sandoval made headlines on Wednesday (July 17) when he filed a lawsuit against Madix for the way she found out about his affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss in March 2023. He claimed in the court docs that she accessed his phone and allegedly distributed NSFW videos of him and Leviss without his “authorization or permission.” Ariana Madix Faces Second Lawsuit In A Week – This Time, From An Allegedly Scorned Business Partner The...

Is ‘Lady in the Lake’ Based on a True Story? How Natalie Portman’s Apple TV+ Show Holds Crime Fans Accountable
Apple TV+‘s new series Lady in the Lake offers a bold rebuttal to many true crime cliches. In addition to purposely leaning against realism, with writer-director Alma Har’el‘s embracing surrealist imagery and multiple mind-bending dream sequences. The story might follow a plucky journalist trying to solve the murders of a young Jewish girl and an overlooked Black woman, but it holds that “heroine” — Maddie Morgenstern Schwarz (Natalie Portman) — as well as the true crime-gobbling audience accountable for the way in which victims are often dehumanized by the genre. From the very beginning of Lady in the Lake, Cleo...

The show, which became an instant hit, follows Serhant and his employees as they navigate the New York City real estate market, big egos and drama in their personal lives. Nørmølle — who was a catalyst for much of the show’s...
Harry Connick Jr. Says His ‘Find Me Falling’ Skinny-Dipping Scene Was a Blast: “All I Had to Do Was Float Around For Six Hours!”
No, Harry Connick Jr. wasn’t really naked in the Mediterranean Sea in the scene where his character skinny-dips in Find Me Falling, the new Netflix romantic comedy that began streaming today. “I had some kind of like, flesh-colored boxers on,” Connick said with a laugh, in a Zoom interview with Decider. “That’s the kind of day that you’re floating around the water saying, ‘What do I do for a living? This is the coolest thing ever!'” In fact, what the Grammy-winning musician and Emmy-winning actor does for a living is quite similar to his character in this new Netflix movie, which was...

Remembering Bob Newhart: Comedy’s Ultimate Straight Man
In the annals of broadcast and streaming TV, there have been stunning series finales, stunningly divisive series finales, and then there was the 1990 finale of Newhart, which still stands out as perhaps the most brilliantly funny, surprising and softly satirical of them all. The Newhart finale would’ve broken the Internet if we’d all had access to it back then. But to his credit, Bob Newhart, who died on July 18, 2024 at 94, never took full credit for what TV Guide would later rank as one of the biggest moments in TV history. “The last episode was my wife’s idea,” Newhart said...
