Four men have been charged in connection with the overdose death of Michael K. Williams, accused of selling the actor heroin laced with fentanyl. Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the men were part of a drug trafficking crew that operated in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. According to video surveillance footage obtained by police detectives, Williams purchased heroin from the group on South 3rd Street in Williamsburg on September 5th, 2021. He was found dead inside of his Brooklyn apartment the following day. A coroner later determined that Williams died of an accidental overdose after ingesting a mix of fentanyl, p-fluorofentanyl, heroin, and cocaine. Irvin Cartagena, Hector Robles, Luis Cruz, and Carlos Macci are each charged with conspir...
The upcoming Netflix series Murderville stakes an early claim to the title of “wildest comedy of 2022,” bringing together a number of elements, including cop parody, improv comedy, and famous people being pranked, to deliver something remarkably unique. And while the first season has yet to premiere, if you ask showrunner Krister Johnson who he might want to involve in Season 2, he has an answer: Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. Each episode of Murderville features a trainee detective (played by a celebrity) being paired up with senior detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) to solve a crime — the catch being that while everyone else involved has a script, the “trainee” has no idea what’s going on, and has to improv their way through each scene before ultimately coming up with the answer to w...
Starz’s upcoming limited series Gaslit offers a compelling look into the little-known Watergate story of Martha Mitchell (Julia Roberts), who spoke up to the media about the break-in despite being the wife of US Attorney General John Mitchell (Sean Penn). In advance of its April 24th premiere, the cable network has shared a trailer of the star-studded adaptation of the Slow Burn podcast. Watch it below. The preview sees Roberts stepping fully into her role as an outspoken socialite. “I’m a Southern woman, we speak our minds,” she jokingly tells a talk show host. “We never stop talking.” However, the tone quickly turns dark when G. Gordon Liddy (Shea Whigham) speaks about Martha “becoming too much of a liability” after she finds out the truth about the Watergate scandal. In response, she’s ...
If watching D-List celebrities sing pop songs under the guise of elaborate costumes wasn’t enough to make you rebuke network television altogether, consider the fact that Rudy Giuliani performed on The Masked Singer as if he didn’t attempt to upend our democracy a year ago. While FOX was apparently okay with the casting, judges Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke appeared reasonably disgusted: According Deadline, they left the set in protest when Giuliani’s identity was revealed. Giuliani was unmasked as an exiting costumed contestant during last week’s taping of The Masked Singer. Upon the reveal, longtime judges Jeong and Thicke exited the stage, while fellow judges Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger remained on stage and joked with Giuliani. Maybe they forgot about his last performance — you ...

Briana’s family reunion just took an unexpected (and scary) turn: The teen mom of two is rushed to the hospital in a sneak peek of tomorrow’s episode. “I need some help — I can’t breathe,” she repeatedly states after she overly exerts herself in a friendly group obstacle course (organized by new arrival Cory). “I need oxygen.” Paramedics immediately help Briana; she tells them that she does not have asthma, and they check her lungs.
