A true wild card. Miranda Lambert is known for speaking her mind through her music — and she’s not afraid to get candid about the country music scene , either. The “Bluebird” singer has been open about the sexism she’s faced over the years since she got her start as a contestant on the reality show Nashville Star in 2003. While she was still a teenager trying to book shows in her home state of Texas, she realized how much harder she’d have to work just because she’s a woman. “The Texas scene wasn’t a place for girls at all back then,” she told NPR in November 2019. “Bar owners would hang up on my mom and say, ‘We don’t book girls.’ So, I would go to these places with my guitar and say, ‘Can I play during set change?’ [Collaborator] Jack Ingram was one of them that we’d always show up at his shows, and he would be like, ‘Yeah you can play a couple of songs while we’re changing.’ And people would be moving cords around my feet. It’s because I couldn’t get a gig — and then the bar...

Breaking the fourth wall. Ray J is speaking out after his sex tape drama with ex Kim Kardashian was brought up on Hulu’s The Kardashians . Kardashian-Jenner Family’s Biggest Controversies and Scandals Read article The rapper, 41, seemingly set the record straight after the third episode of the reality series aired on Thursday, April 28. During an emotional scene, the Skims CEO, also 41, revealed Kanye West flew to Los Angeles to retrieve a rumored second sex tape and brought it to her in New York City as she prepared to host Saturday Night Live . However, Ray J claimed the exchange didn’t go down the way it was shown. “All of this is a lie smh,” he commented on a Hollywood Unlocked Instagram post, which featured a clip from the show. “Can’t let them do this anymore – so untrue.” During Thursday’s episode, the Selfish author opened a suitcase in her hotel room in front of Kris Jenner , Khloé Kardashian and more of her posse. “I want to show you guys what [Kanye] got me,”...

A crime drama with a twist. Elisabeth Moss has added another prestige TV show to her resume with the new Apple TV+ series Shining Girls . The Mad Men alum plays Kirby Mazrachi, a research assistant at the Chicago Sun-Times who suffered a violent attack six years earlier. The perpetrator was never caught, so Kirby decides to investigate with help from a reporter named Dan ( Wagner Moura ). Along the way, however, she starts to experience strange occurrences: people in her apartment who weren’t there before, for example, or slight changes in her hair. As she searches for the man she believes is a serial killer ( Jamie Bell ), she also begins to question reality. In addition to playing the show’s lead character, Moss also served as an executive producer and directed two episodes of Shining Girls . “The directing has made the acting part more exciting than it’s ever been,” the Handmaid’s Tale star told Newsweek ahead of the show’s April 29 premiere. “It’s just a way of keeping ex...

Get Over It may not have been a critical or commercial success when it was released in 2001, but thanks to a cast full of future stars, it has become a beloved cult classic for ’90s kids everywhere. Very loosely based on William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream , the rom-com centers on Berke Landers ( Ben Foster ), an incredibly average high schooler whose world is shattered when his girlfriend Allison ( Melissa Sagemiller ) dumps him. After she moves on with exchange student and former boy band star Striker ( Shane West ), Berke joins the school’s musical in an attempt to win her back. With the help of his best friends Felix ( Colin Hanks ) and Dennis ( Sisquó ) — and Felix’s younger sister, Kelly ( Kirsten Dunst ) — Berke does his best to get over the breakup and prove his love to Allison once and for all. The film also stars Martin Short as Dr. Desmond Forrest Oates, a frustrated composer and songwriter who is desperate to get someone to appreciate his genius, and includ...

Another angle. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had already split when filming for The Kardashians began, but the rapper is still a big presence on the show. “Kanye and I are still going through a divorce now,” the Skims founder, 41, said during the debut episode of the Hulu series , which premieres on Thursday, April 14. “We’re just trying to figure it out. How to be good parents to our kids together, how to be good friends to each other. Our ultimate goal no matter what is just happiness and following that, whatever that looks like.” When the Kardashian-Jenner family’s new show began filming in September 2021, the Grammy winner, 44, and the Selfish author were seemingly on great terms. One month before The Kardashians began production, the beauty mogul made a surprise appearance — in a wedding gown — at one of the listening parties for West’s album Donda . “Kim supports Kanye and was happy to be on stage in a wedding dress,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2021. ...

Who is that? The Masked Singer ‘s seventh season started making headlines before the premiere even aired, thanks to one controversial contestant. One month before the show’s March 9 premiere, Deadline reported that panelists Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong walked off set after one of the new characters was unmasked as Rudy Giuliani . The former New York City mayor’s costume remained a secret at the time, but some fans were upset that the otherwise apolitical show had chosen such a polarizing figure for the cast. The Giuliani controversy came nearly two years after the series drew backlash for inviting former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to compete as the Bear. The Going Rogue author was sent home in March 2020 during her first episode after performing a rendition of Sir Mix-a-Lot ‘s “Baby Got Back.” Palin later said that one reason she did the show was to hit back at her critics. “I knew it would be so refreshing and so freeing and well, in a real respectful way, kind of a walkin...

While testifying in court, Johnny Depp ‘s former agent claimed that the actor was officially axed from his Pirates of the Caribbean role as a result of Amber Heard ‘s domestic violence allegations. Movies That Recast Characters in Sequels: ‘Twilight,’ ‘Harry Potter’ and More Franchises Who Replaced Stars Read article “My opinion is it was related to the accusations that Amber has made,” Christian Carino stated in a pre-recorded video deposition on Wednesday, April 27, adding that he only spoke to producer Jerry Bruckheimer about the situation in the past. According to the CAA agent, 53, the assumption came from “conversations with colleagues and studios executives” that were internal and external. “It is something within the industry that is understood,” Carino, who previously dated Lady Gaga , continued. During the trial, Heard’s attorney Elaine Br...
