Sadie Sink Calls Taylor Swift an ‘Amazing’ Director, Talks Max’s ‘Emo Phase’ on ‘Stranger Things’
Sadie Sink visited The Tonight Show on Monday night (May 24) to talk about the terrifying upcoming season of Stranger Things and her origin story as a living room musical theater geek. But before she could get to any of that, avowed Swiftie host Jimmy Fallon just had to ask the 20-year-old actress what it was like to star in Taylor Swift’s short film for “All Too Well.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “Taylor was saying she wasn’t going to make it if you didn’t star in it,” Fallon told Sink in recounting a chat he’d recently had with the singer. “She really wanted you to star in this film.” Shaking her head in disbelief, Sink appeared to still be gob-smacked by her good fortune, saying, “No! Like I didn’t know she knew I existed! And if...
The Better Call Saul Mid-Season Finale Was the True Beginning of the End
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Better Call Saul, Season 6, Episode 7, “Plan and Execution.”] What other show would devote a five-minute sequence to establishing its villain’s shower and nap routine? What other show would make it so captivating? That’s the special magic of Better Call Saul, which delivered a mid-season finale on Monday that redefined the concept of changing the game. For a good long portion of its runtime, so much of “Plan and Execution” fits with Better Call Saul as we’ve always known it. Central to the episode is the ultimate culmination of Jimmy and Kim’s plan to force a settlement of the Sandpiper lawsuit by ruining Howard Hamlin’s (Patrick Fabian) reputation — a combination of actual justice and petty revenge, motivations which both Jimmy (Bob Oden...
Danny Boyle Wants John Lydon to “Attack” His Sex Pistols Series
John Lydon has long been an outspoken opponent of Danny Boyle’s upcoming Sex Pistols series, but his criticisms haven’t hurt the director. In an interview with The Guardian, Boyle took the artist’s critiques in stride, proclaiming, “I don’t want him to like [Pistol] — I want him to attack it.” Last year, Lydon attempted to block Boyle from using the Sex Pistols’ music in Pistol, the six-part series detailing the band’s whirlwind rise and fall. However, his former bandmates, guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, countersued, ultimately allowing the band’s catalog to be featured in the show. Soon after, Lydon proclaimed that the series, which is based on Jones’ memoir, Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol, would “water down” the Sex Pistols’ legacy, and complained that ...
‘I Was Not Ready To Go’: Tina Reflects On Her Game-Ending All Stars Injury
Tina sadly reached the end of the road rules yet again on All Stars. During this week’s episode, the Challenge competitor suffered a game-ending injury during the mission “Playing Dirty” (a version of musical chairs but taking place in a mud pit with players trying to grab balls). “I take my glove off and I see that I’m missing a knuckle,” the Inferno 2/Fresh Meat finalist stated in a confessional about her Round 1 heat showdown against Kellyanne. She explained that she popped her finger back into place (!) and believed she was better. But that, unfortunately, was not the case: A hospital visit confirmed that Tina broke her hand, and she was medically unable to continue on the show. Of course, she was “so sad” to be departing as her Gauntlet/...
See Ya, Siesta Key: Juliette And Sam Are Both Thinking About Moving To Miami
Seems Juliette and Sam have both moved on once and for all — but unbeknownst to each other, their paths may soon cross more often than anticipated. This week’s Siesta Key saw the two exes both in separate talks about trading Sarasota for a fresh start in Miami. And the kicker? Both of their new love interests live there. So why is Juliette considering the move? Her design partner Jaymi told her it’s time to take “the next step” regarding her growing swimwear line, JMP The Label. Not only is the brand gaining popularity across international waters, but it’s also expanding into activewear. And Siesta Key isn’t exactly the fashion capital of Florida. “I kind of want to see how you feel about Miami, like set dow...
Stranger Things Stretches Out the Upside Down For an Endearingly Familiar Season 4: Review
The Pitch: While it’s been three years (and an entire pandemic) since we last saw Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), and the rest of the denizens of Hawking, Indiana in the third season of Stranger Things, for them it’s only been six months. The Battle of Starcourt Mall kicked off a host of changes for our heroes, both young and old, with Eleven choosing to move to California with the Byerses, leaving Mike, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and the others to struggle with the cliques and clashes of high school on their own. And growing up is hard, even for Demogorgon slayers — Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) has joined the basketball team in an attempt to shake off the nerd cred Mike and Dustin cling to, while Max (Sadie Sink) is still mourning the death of brother Billy last se...
Eminem Shuts Down Pete Davidson’s Final SNL Rap Video: Watch
Pete Davidson had one final treat for SNL viewers before ending his seven-season run: a rap tribute video to the show’s creator, Lorne Michaels. The skit, which was apparently cut for time, begins with host Natasha Lyonne informing Davidson that Michaels is depressed because the two never got to make a rap video together. “You know, that guy has literally done everything for me, so I’m going to pay him back by doing this rap video exactly the way he wrote it,” decades Davidson. Set to the tune of “Forgot the Dre,” David proceeds to honor Michaels’ legacy by ratting off his many accomplishments — from discovering comedians like Chris Farley, David Spade, and Kristen Wiig, to writing Three Amigos, to winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The accompanying visuals feature Davidson dressed...
SNL Says Goodbye to Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney: Watch

Thanks for letting me stay a while,” McKinnon said through tears. While Bryant was featured heavily throughout the episode, her appearance on Weekend Update served as her formal goodbye. Appearing alongside ...

Pete Davidson Is Exiting Saturday Night Live
Pete Davidson is exiting Saturday Night Live, multiple outlets report. Tomorrow’s Season 47 finale, hosted by Natasha Lyonne and featuring Japanese Breakfast as the musical guest, is expected to be his last episode. Davidson joined the sketch program in 2014 at only 20 years old, making him the fourth-youngest cast member behind Robert Downey Jr. (also 20), Eddie Murphy (19), and Anthony Michael Hall (17). A relative unknown at the time, Davidson has evolved into one of the biggest names among the current cast, in part because of breathless tabloid coverage of his romantic entanglements — from his short-lived engagement to Ariana Grande to his current partnership with Kim Kardashian — and in part because of an increasing presence in buzzworthy films, such as The King of Stat...
