Around this time 21 years ago, “Roseanne,” the groundbreaking sitcom about the blue-collar Conner family, came to an end after a successful 10-year run. The notion that it’d be pulled out of retirement more than two decades later and become the success story of the 2017-18 television season would have likely elicited a Roseanne-like cackle from the […]

“We have the queen, and you have Donald Trump,” says Nigel Lythgoe. The U.K.-born reality producer won’t be attending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 19 wedding. But as a close royal observer and occasional collaborator (he’s been a dancer, choreographer, director and executive producer for the Royal Variety Performance, an annual televised fundraiser), he’s toasting […]

This list was first published in 2014, and has been updated periodically to reflect new superhero movie releases. In 1998, predicting a fiscally and artistically rich superhero-movie industry would’ve gotten you laughed out of your local comics shop.

The character really made its presentation in 1997, yet after 11 years, Ryan Reynolds breathed life into the wannabe on the extra large screen in […]

“Literally everything at my show just stopped to see if people hear Laurel or Yanny. I hear Laurel,” Ellen DeGeneres says. Three years ago, a white and gold and/or black and blue dress divided Twitter, but now two simple words have ignited a national disagreement. Is it yanny or laurel?! The debate hasn’t sucked in […]

“The biggest devil is me,” Whitney Houston told Diane Sawyer in her most infamous interview.
