Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy Tapped for Russian Doll Season 2
Last year, Annie Murphy and her Schitt’s Creek co-stars swept the 2020 Emmys in a historic feat that saw them take home W’s in all major categories. Murphy’s performance as the character Alexis Rose surely made her a desired player in Hollywood, because she’s now been cast for the second season of Netflix’s Russian Doll. The follow-up the show’s first season, which hit the streaming service in 2019 and quickly became a cult favorite, is still in the development stages, and we have no idea what Murphy’s character will entail. However, given what we saw in the first season of the show, which starred its co-creator Natasha Lyonne, it’ll probably be weird as hell. Lyonne created and executive produced the show alongside Amy Poehler and Leslye Headland, and that inaugural season saw h...

The Mansory Stallone GTS Is a Ferrari 812 GTS for the “Fast & Furious” Crowd
You gotta hand it to Mansory because the outfit’s creations are never boring. Polarizing, for sure. But never boring. In fact, the brashness is endearing. Take the new 2021 Mansory Stallone GTS—no relation to that guy, but of some relation to previous Stallones, such as the 812 Superfast-based one that debuted back in 2018 at the Geneva show. For 2021, that car is getting a drop-top counterpart called the Stallone GTS. Still based on the 812, albeit the GTS version, it’s … something else. See all 25 photos Let’s take a quick second to remind ourselves what’s underneath the Mansory treatment here: the Ferrari 812 GTS, the first V-12-powered series-production convertible from Maranello in decades. Its hardtop twin, the 812 Superfast, stunned us with its quickness...
Aston Martin Boss Reveals Plans for a Fully Electric Performance Car and SUV
Lawrence Stroll, executive chairman of Aston Martin, revealed to the Financial Times that the British brand has plans for two electric vehicles. One will be a performance car, the other an SUV. None of this is terribly surprising considering the company’s pledge to phase out non-electrified internal combustion engines by 2030. But the details are intriguing, especially when you consider Aston’s track record. See all 77 photos Onto the vehicles: Stroll told FT the performance vehicle will be a proper front-engined car, specifically a “version of a DB11/Vantage”. This should be good news for enthusiasts given the propensity of those cars to thrill. The SUV will be, well, an SUV—although it’s unclear if it’ll be a BEV variant of the DBX or another...

Harry Connick Jr. on the ‘Thrill’ of His 15th Grammy Nod & Going It ‘Alone’ for New Album
He jokes, but in actuality, the New Orleans crooner now has three Grammy Awards to his name (he won again in 2002) and 15 total nominations — including one at Sunday’s show: best traditional pop vocal album for True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter. While his first priority is making great music, Connick admits the nominations never get old. “I’m not really thinking about Grammys when I’m recording, but when Grammy time comes around, I think we all think about that and what an incredible thrill and honor it is,” he says. “So I pinch myself. It’s a really big deal.” Looking back on his early wins, Connick remembers just how massive Music’s Biggest Night truly felt back then. “You have to understand, that was before cell pho...

Officers Who Did The Electric Slide At BLM Rally Also Stormed The Capitol During Saltine-Fueled Insurrection
Source: The Washington Post / Getty See? This is why we have a hard time trusting law enforcement. It turns out two police officers who showed support to Black Lives Matter activists during a rally were faking the funk cause they also were at the saltine-fueled capitol riots on January 6, which left five people dead and got Donald Trump impeached again. Rocky Mount Police Sergeant Thomas Robertson and Officer Jacob Fracker were charged a week after a mob of angry white Trump supporters stormed the capitol building fueled by the orange menace’s false narrative that the election was rigged and stolen from him. After a photograph of the two officers inside the US Capitol Building surfaced in front of a statue of General John Stark, Robertson and Fracker were placed on administrative leav...
