Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Are Reportedly Dating After Months of Romance Rumors

After months (OK, years) of romance rumors, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky just might be Hollywood's newest couple. On Nov. 30, People exclusively revealed that a source told the outlet that the longtime pals are dating . The news comes shortly after they were spotted having dinner with friends this past weekend. While the Fenty Beauty founder and rapper have sparked countless dating rumors over the years, neither of the stars have confirmed any romance. Rihanna reportedly split from Hassan Jameel back in January, after dating the businessman for nearly three years. However, the duo never addressed their breakup. Rihanna and A$AP are not only friends, but also frequent collaborators - the rapper appeared in Rihanna's Fenty Skin campaign back in July alongside Lil Nas X. Here's hoping we get an official confirmation of their reported romance soon! https://ift.tt/3fUyMaG

Indya Moore Shares a Tribute to Trans People: "We Deserve to Hear Beautiful Love Letters"

Indya Moore wants trans people to know they are loved, especially during a time where "love feels very scarce in this world." On Nov. 30, the Pose actor penned and read a beautiful love letter to trans people on their Instagram, which they originally shared on Trans Day of Remembrance on Nov. 20. "The reason why we're sounding the alarm all the time, every day, is because we want to stop our years from getting deadlier and deadlier." "This year has been the deadliest year for trans folks on record, and the reason why we're sounding the alarm all the time, every day, is because we want to stop our years from getting deadlier and deadlier," they said. "We want to reverse how deadly it is to exist every year and how increasingly so it becomes." That's why they felt it was important to connect on TDOR, and show their fellow community that "we deserve to hear beautiful love letters." The actor went on explain how shows lik...

Kelly Clarkson's Cover of Justin Bieber's "Sorry" Begs the Question: What Can't She Sing?

It's no secret that Kelly Clarkson is the queen of covers , and her latest performance needs to be watched with the volume at full blast. On Monday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show , the singer put her own spin on Justin Bieber's "Sorry" during her Kellyoke segment. Clarkson's incredible vocals gave the song a soulful twist and it has us wondering: is there anything she can't sing? Even though it's been five years since Bieber released "Sorry," Clarkson found a way to make it sound like a totally new song. Clarkson's cover comes amid her divorce from Brandon Blackstock . The singer filed for divorce back in June after nearly seven years of marriage, and on Nov. 30, she was awarded primary physical custody of their two children , 6-year-old daughter River Rose and 4-year-old son Remington Alexander. Watch Clarkson's amazing cover above. https://ift.tt/2Jpt5W1

You're Not Alone: Aubrey Plaza Wants People to Root For Riley and Abby in Happiest Season

Happiest Season is the holiday movie giving everyone something to talk about this year, especially when it comes to the central love story between Abby and Harper - and what could've been between Riley and Abby. The internet, myself included, seems pretty convinced that "Abiley" (played by Kristen Stewart and Aubrey Plaza, respectively) is the true pairing that never happened . Turns out, this might've been Plaza's master plan all along. There are layers to the complicated love between Harper and Abby, but when Riley - Harper's former girlfriend - enters the scene, it's clear she'd make a better match for Abby. During an interview with costar Dan Levy for FabTV, Plaza admitted she wanted fans to fall in love with the idea of a romantic relationship between Abby and Riley by the film's end. "I hope people walk away from the movie and they're disappointed that Kristen Stewart didn't end up with my character and they riot in the stre...

Supernatural (Kind of) Made Destiel Canon, and Then Everything Went Terribly Left

It's been less than two weeks since the series finale of Supernatural , but appropriately, the series is still carrying on after it's been salted and burned . While fans were notably divided over the series finale , which ended with the Winchester brothers reuniting in the afterlife after Dean dies during a hunt and Sam dies from old age, it's the events from the Nov. 5 episode, "Despair," that are causing conversation and chaos. In "Despair," the angel Castiel (Misha Collins) sacrifices his life to save Dean (Jensen Ackles), confessing his love for the hunter right before being sucked into a hell dimension and dying. If you haven't seen it, it's just as dramatic as it sounds! In the English version of the scene, Castiel says, "I love you," and Dean responds, "Don't do this, Cas." But in the Spanish dubbed version of the scene , which aired on the Warner Channel a couple of weeks later, the scene plays out differently. C...

Rue Can't Get Jules Off Her Mind in the Trailer For Euphoria's Special Episode

It's been too long since we've seen Emmy-award winner Zendaya in her oversize red hoodie , but that'll change soon. On Nov. 30, HBO released the trailer for the first of Euphoria 's two special episodes , appropriately titled, "Rue." The footage doesn't reveal much, but we can grasp the gist of what we'll be seeing as Rue sits alone in a diner, going over the agonizing decision she made in the season finale to let Jules go to New York without her . Ali, her unofficial sponsor, is shown sitting across from her in the end, and he asks her, "Why'd you call me?" So, it's safe to assume that Rue's episode will focus on the immediate aftermath of her decision from last season. We still don't know anything about the second special episode , but it's fair to guess that it will also follow a character to show what they've been up to since the season finale and serve as a bridge for when we eventually get season two . Watch t...

BTS's Disney Holiday Singalong Performance Makes Us Want a Holiday Album

Guess who is coming to town? 🎅 It's @bts_bighit during the #DisneyHolidaySingalong ! Don't miss a moment of the holiday cheer starting Monday at 8|7c on ABC! 🌟 pic.twitter.com/ypk3r4e4Rr — ABC (@ABCNetwork) November 27, 2020 Ahead of BTS's Disney Holiday Singalong appearance, we were treated to a clip of the group singing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and we can't help but hope a holiday album is on the horizon. In the clip, Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook added just the right amount of flair to the holiday classic, with J-Hope adorably hamming things up for the camera. If you're wondering why we only named six members, it's because Suga had to miss the performance due to a recent shoulder surgery. After such a tumultuous year, it's nice to get some holiday cheer in the form of the angelic voices of Jin and Jimin . And even though they say not to, it's OK to cry over the performance. We certainly did. Joining BTS for the...

David Chang Makes History on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Donates It All to Charity

David Chang made history on Sunday night's episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire , becoming the first celebrity contestant to win the top prize in the gameshow's 20 years on the air. Rather than keeping the money for himself, though, he donated every last penny to a very worthy charity. The chef and restaurateur sailed through the first 13 multiple-choice questions and made it to the final query, which asked what president was the first to have electricity in the White House. The answers included names of past presidents who I, quite frankly, forgot were ever our commander in chief, and Chang wound up utilizing the "Phone a Friend" lifeline to ask sports writer and analyst Mina Kimes for help. After Kimes provided her assistance, host Jimmy Kimmel reminded Chang just how high the stakes were - he could refuse to answer the question and win $500,000, answer it correctly and nab the one million, or answer it incorrectly and only secure $32,000. "I never ima...

Cardi B Reveals the Simple Reason Why "WAP" Wasn't Nominated For a Grammy

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's " WAP " was one of the biggest hits of 2020, so fans were up in arms when it wasn't nominated for a Grammy earlier this month. Since it was released during the eligibility period, many fans took it as yet another big snub - however, that isn't exactly the case. It turns out, Cardi B actually didn't submit the song for Grammy consideration . In a recent Instagram Live, the rapper explained why she didn't submit the song for a Grammy, saying, "Like I said, I never pressed for a Grammy, but y'all not gonna take away something that I know I worked my ass off [for], that I deserve." She also noted that she didn't want to submit herself for award shows until her full album was out, because the " album is so good ." "I worked on it a lot," she added. "I've been working on it for almost two years. And some songs are just so emotional to me because I did them during quarantine....

Like Clockwork, Billie Eilish Does the Same Interview For the Fourth Year in a Row

In 2017, Billie Eilish began the tradition of doing an annual time capsule video with Vanity Fair , and now she's back with her fourth one. In the video, which dropped on Nov. 30, the 28-year-old singer answers the same questions from the previous interviews, only this time she's reflecting on how the pandemic has allowed her to become more politically engaged and informed and what she's most looking forward to in the future. "I have learned so much more about the way people are living that I wasn't aware of before," Billie said. "The climate crisis and social injustice and all the bad things made me think differently. I will never stop fighting for all the Black and brown people who have lost their lives to police brutality."

Halsey Doesn't Hold Back After Being Snubbed For a Grammy: "It's Not Always About the Music"

Between the exclusion of women for best R&B album and The Weeknd's lack of a single nomination for After Hours , people already have feelings about this year's Grammy awards . Among those airing their frustrations about the ceremony is singer Halsey, who took to Instagram on Nov. 28 to express how she felt about being overlooked for a nomination . "The Grammys are an elusive process," the 26-year-old wrote in her Instagram story. "It can often be about behind the scenes private performances, knowing the right people, campaigning through the grapevine, with just the right handshakes and 'bribes' that can be just ambitious enough to pass as 'not-bribes.' And if you get that far, it's about committing to exclusive TV performances and making sure you help the Academy make their millions in advertising on the night of the show." In other words, it's about who you know, not necessarily the music you make. The singer doubled down on...

A Round of Applause For Noma Dumezweni's Emmy-Worthy Performance on The Undoing

If the Television Academy doesn't give Noma Dumezweni an Emmy for her performance on The Undoing , I'll sculpt a trophy out of gold by hand, fly to England, and deliver the replica to her myself because that is how much she deserves the accolade. The British actress stars in the HBO miniseries as Haley Fitzgerald, a highly sought-after defense attorney hired to represent Jonathan Fraser when he's pinned as the prime suspect in the vicious murder of Elena Alves . Though Dumezweni acts alongside other big-name stars in the show - including Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland, and Sutherland's unruly eyebrows - she commands attention so powerfully that all other characters fade into the background when she's on screen. Though Dumezweni acts alongside other big-name stars in the show, she commands attention so powerfully that all other characters fade into the background when she's on screen.

Fans on Twitter Are More Than Ready For the MCU to #SaveDaredevil

It's been two years since Netflix canceled Daredevil, and fans are just as eager now for a revival as they were then. On Nov. 29, Netflix's movie and TV rights to the Marvel property expired , meaning that the character could now potentially make an appearance in the MCU. Fans weren't shy about making their feelings known on Twitter, starting the #SaveDaredevil campaign in the hopes that Disney and Marvel Studios would revive the current iteration of the character, played by Charlie Cox, with a season four. The main goal of the campaign, as stated on its website, is to "remind Disney and Marvel that the fans want to see OUR version of the Daredevil character return with Charlie Cox in the role, and the series revived with the same cast and mature rating." It's not an unreasonable idea that Disney and Marvel could continue the story started by Netflix; however, that version of Daredevil would likely find a home at Hulu versus Disney+ due to its mature nat...

Kamala Harris Calls 14-Year-Old Artist Who Painted Gorgeous Portraits of Her and Joe Biden

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kamala Harris (@kamalaharris) While some of us (e.g. me) lack what you might call extreme artistic talent, there are people like 14-year-old painter Tyler Gordon who clearly have a knack for creating masterpieces. Case in point: his recent painting of Kamala Harris. On Nov. 22, the young talent - who lives in the Bay Area, where Kamala is from - posted a time-lapse Instagram video of him rendering a stunning portrait of the vice president-elect. The clip also features Mary J. Blige hit "Work That," which was Kamala's walkout song after the election win. "@kamalaharris My name is Tyler Gordon and I'm 14 years old and I live in the Bay Area! I painted this picture of you and I hope you like it!!!" he wrote. He then urged his supporters to help him get Kamala's attention: "Please tag her and her people so that she can see this. Please!!!" Three days later, Tyler got his wish, and Kamala gave him a r...

There's a Brideshead Revisited Television Remake in the Works Courtesy of the BBC and HBO

In can what can only be described as dream television news, it's been announced that a new adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited is in the works, with Luca Guadagnino at the helm as director and writer. The period drama will see the Call Me by Your Name filmmaker direct a star-studded cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Joe Alwyn, and Rooney Mara in what will be the third adaptation of Waugh's classic novel. The story was first adapted for TV back in 1981 as an 11-part series starring Jeremy Irons, and then again in 2008 as a feature film. The upcoming version, which will reportedly be a TV miniseries, will be a joint production between the BBC and HBO, as was I May Destroy You .

Here's everything we know about the exciting production so far. Image Sour...

The 'Mario Kart' ride at Super Nintendo World looks incredible in teaser trailer

Look, there's a slim chance we'll actually be riding anything at the soon-to-open Super Nintendo World, but we can still marvel at it from afar. Set to open Feb 4. at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, the brand new Mario-themed park – which has been several years in the making – has a shiny new trailer to go with the date announcement. You'll spy several of the park's areas including Bowser's Castle, where you'll find Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge, the world's first interactive Mario Kart theme park ride.  IGN Japan took a walk around the park, and noted that each kart has four seats, an AR headset for each rider, and a steering wheel that allows you to "drive" through the Mushroom Kingdom, where you can "throw shells" at other racers, just like the game.  Read more...

But when they shout into the darkness outside, there's no reply. Cue a desperate dash through the snow as they try and outrun an unseen hunter who's stalking them through the remote wilderness.
