Months after Meghan Markle faced bullying allegations from former employees , new reports are coming to light about the situation. In a new epilogue for the paperback edition of Finding Freedom by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, sources claim that two of the royal palace staffers from the original complaint have rescinded their claims . The allegations were first addressed in an article by The Times in March, where the couple's then-communications secretary Jason Knauf claimed Meghan "drove two personal assistants out of the household and undermined the confidence of a third staff member" back in 2018. After the story was released, Meghan and Prince Harry's spokesperson released a statement to People addressing the bullying allegations , saying, "The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma. ...

As if we needed another reason to be mesmerized by Tinashe's "Bouncin" music video , she just shared new behind-the-scenes footage that has us feeling 10 times more in awe of her talent. In a clip compilation she shared across social media on Aug. 27, fans get an inside peek at her creative process and determination as she crushes the challenging dance choreography atop a mini trampoline - in a corset, no less. In addition to a few fun candid moments, like Tinashe fangirling over her own makeup, we also catch a glimpse at the artist's dad, Michael Kachingwe, adorably supporting her on set. "It's so physical," he says in amazement as Tinashe films her music video. "I think it's the most physical that I've ever had to sit and watch." Yep, that sounds to us like he's been on set with her more than once, which is about the cutest tidbit we've learned all week. Watch the full video above to see just how much work went into Tinashe...

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is finally hitting theaters this Friday! Starring Simu Liu, the film is making history as the first Marvel movie with an Asian lead and it's set to debut in theaters for 45 days before it hits streaming services. However, it's still unclear if it'll debut exclusively on Disney+ or other video-on-demand services. Disney+ also has yet to announce an official premiere date, but if the streaming platform plans to release it exactly after 45 days, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be available to stream in mid-October. The film follows martial artist Shang-Chi as he gets pulled back into the fold of the Ten Rings organization and confronts the legacy of his father and the organization's leader, Wenwu. It also stars Tony Leung, Awkwafina, Fala Chen, Meng'er Zhang, Florian Munteanu, Ronny Chieng, and Michelle Yeoh, and marks a major moment for APIA representation on screen. https://ift.tt/3jwXpxr

A new iteration of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is coming our way, and we finally know who will be starring in it. On Tuesday, Peacock announced that newcomer Jabari Banks will be playing the iconic role of Will, previously played by Will Smith . For the special announcement, Smith actually helped do the honors as he shared a video of him telling Banks the exciting news. In a fun twist of fate, Banks actually helms from West Philadelphia just like his character; he recently graduated from University of the Arts in Philly in 2020. Though this will mark his first big acting role, he is also a songwriter, singer, rapper, and basketball player. Perhaps we'll get to hear him rap the show's theme song? The new series, titled Bel-Air , will be a modern-day retelling of the classic '90s sitcom , inspired by a viral YouTube trailer created by Morgan Cooper . Per the show's official tagline, Bel-Air will "dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases that w...

Reservation Dogs has been crushing it with their celebrity cameos . In this week's episode, we were treated to appearances by Kaniehtiio Horn, Kiowa Gordon, and Wes Studi. Horn played the role of the mythical Deer Woman, Gordon appeared as one of her victims, and Studi took on the role of a harmless townie named Bucky. While Studi's performance certainly made us laugh, it was Horn's portrayal of Deer Woman that truly stole the show. Similar to the blurry owl scene in episode three , the Deer Woman is another nod to Indigenous culture as she appears in several stories told by different tribal nations. In some stories, Deer Woman is connected with fertility and love , but in others, she's known as a dangerous being who seduces men, typically adulterous or promiscuous men, and leads them to heartbreak or death. In the case of Horn's Deer Woman, she falls more in line with the latter. Episode five sees the mythical figure as a badass woman who only goes after bad me...

Three women, one murder, and countless secrets. Who did it, and more importantly, why? Paula Hawkins's newest thriller A Slow Fire Burning follows the same highly engaging page-turning format as her previous hit The Girl on the Train , but this book is much, much more sinister, suspenseful, and downright jaw-dropping in all the right ways. The bestselling author is no stranger to writing bone-chilling thrillers , and this novel is a whole new level of psychological terror. Deliciously dark and dangerously unsettlingly, A Slow Fire Burning will give you chills with every chapter. "Deliciously dark and dangerously unsettlingly, A Slow Fire Burning will give you chills with every chapter." When a devilishly handsome man is found brutally murdered on his houseboat, police wonder who could have committed something this gruesome. While trying to stitch together his complicated relationships, investigators are left with three women who just might've had the motive t...

The number of major new thriller and mystery book releases in September is seriously impressive. This month is packed with new titles from the likes of Liane Moriarty, Alice Feeney, and Lisa Jewell. But, in addition to some of the biggest names in the thriller genre dropping fresh reads, this month also includes a number of twisty debuts and inclusive mysteries that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From a story told entirely from the point of view of a sociopath who is being stalked to the story of a Sri Lankan orphan with a secret to hide, these dark and tantalizing books are going to have readers buzzing. https://ift.tt/3mWdRJE

If you told me that my favorite book of 2021 would end up being about two fake dating scientists whose characters are loosely based on Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars , I would not have believed you. Fake dating isn't my favorite trope, science was my worst school subject, and while I've always enjoyed watching Star Wars , I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan. But that was before I read The Love Hypothesis (out Sept. 14) by Ali Hazelwood. In the novel, Olive Smith is a biology Ph.D. student who is on a mission to convince her best friend that she's in a relationship. Considering she's definitely single, and worried that her friend will learn the truth, Olive randomly panic-kisses the first man she comes across in the lab - who just so happens to be the notoriously intimidating Dr. Adam Carlsen, a professor in her department. Nobody is more surprised than Olive when Adam agrees to go along with her charade. But how long can Olive keep up the ruse of fake dating ...

Drake is prepping for cuffing season accordingly. Just over three years after Scorpion , the rapper is closer than ever to releasing his sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy , which was initially slated for release late last year, and then again in January. After much anticipation and some sporadic singles , it appears to actually be dropping on Sept. 3. "I don't miss . . . let alone miss you." Days before the release, Drake shared the Certified Lover Boy album cover , designed by British artist Damien Hirst, depicting 12 different pregnant woman emoji. Around the same time, billboards sprouted in Toronto seemingly teasing lyrics. Boy, are these Drake lyrics exceedingly Drake : "I don't miss . . . let alone miss you." There's also, "Should've said you loved me today because tomorrow is a new day." I can practically hear the soft clickety clack of Instagram captions being typed away now. This comes as Drake and Kanye West rebooted ...

It has somehow been two years and not two hundred since Netflix's You Season 2, the show about Penn Badgley stalking women who can't resist his um, charms. Season 3 premiers Oct. 15 and the teaser dropped a big reveal: Joe and Love (Victoria Pedretti) are expecting a baby. We last left off with Joe in his version of marital bliss, a.k.a. living a life unpunished for his numerous crimes with a wife perhaps even more unhinged than himself. The season ended with Joe possibly falling for his neighbor based solely on the fact that she reads books, and this teaser drops some pointed comments about literature. Are we quite sure this is Love's baby and Joe isn't having an affair, inviting total disaster? But according to the teaser, fatherhood will change him. He'll be better, he says. He'll be the man he knows he can be, to protect his son. He's gonna kill so many people. You Season 3 premieres Oct. 15 on Netflix. https://ift.tt/3jopXct http://dlvr.it/S6btyn http:/...

For anyone out there who might be thinking that their cable provider isn’t that bad, let’s play a little game to put things into perspective. Would you rather date someone who's clingy, makes you spend a ton of money on them, and bosses you around? Or someone who's super chill, lets you do your own thing, and always makes sure you're happy? We’re guessing you’d probably opt for the latter. (We know we sure would.) Well, get this: The first relationship is the one you’re stuck in with your cable company right. this. moment. And the second relationship? That’s a cool collection of carefully curated streaming services, babe. If you haven’t yet picked up what we’re putting down, we're talking about cord-cutting — a favorite term of the past few years that basically means breaking up with your cable company and only paying for the content you want without messing around with a cable box or satellite. After all, life is just too short to be tied down to an overpriced co...

Most of us have our go-to movie streaming service — the one that's been solidified into our monthly budget alongside obviously comparable essentials like groceries and rent. But ol' reliable probably doesn't have every single film you want to watch, especially when titles are constantly flip-flopping which service they call home. To understand why, exactly, the “To Watch” list in your Notes app needs to bend to the will of whatever streaming service decides to play home to a particular movie, let’s roll things back to 2018 for a second. That’s the year that Wired marks as the start of the streaming wars, and it’s also the year that the internet had a complete meltdown over Friends potentially leaving Netflix — long before equally panic-stricken stans had to overcome The Office 's havoc-wreaking departure as well. Since then, the streaming service market has been an ever-evolving clusterfuck of new streamers rolling out one after the other: Disney+ in 2019, HBO Max ...

You know that old saying about good things coming to those who wait? Well, it definitely applies to bibliophiles this month. September's selection of new book releases is stacked with big name authors, potential book of the year candidates (we're looking at you, The Magician ), and must-read nonfiction. And that's just for starters. Thriller and romance fans are going to be absolutely spoiled with choices this month thanks to new releases from the likes of Lisa Jewell, Alice Feeney, Alexis Daria, and Helena Hunting; and YA fans have plenty to look forward to, as well. One thing is certain, no matter what kind of books you love to read, there's no denying this fall is off to an amazing start for book lovers. https://ift.tt/2V3lSRN

We've had a How I Met Your Mother -shaped hole in our lives since the CBS comedy's finale in 2014. Now, it seems that hole is finally going to be filled thanks to Hulu's upcoming spinoff starring Hilary Duff , called How I Met Your Father . After the series finale of Younger and the cancellation of the Lizzie McGuire reboot, the How I Met Your Mother spinoff feels like the perfect way for Duff to continue showing off her comedic prowess. The series, which features a similar narration format to the original show, finds Duff's character Sophie telling her son the story of how she met his father. It also follows Sophie and her group of friends as they navigate life and love in New York City. How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will executive produce the 10-episode series while This Is Us 's Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger will serve as creators, writers, and executive producers. Although there's not an official release date just yet...

Welcome to Fix It , our series examining projects we love — save for one tiny change we wish we could make. Mike Schur's afterlife comedy, The Good Place, is an example of a show that didn't always have a perfect execution, but it always had perfect vibes. Even at its lowest points, it was still a beautiful, optimistic work that made viewers really think about what it means to be human and, in its oft-quoted Scanlon catchphrase, "What we owe to each other." One of the reasons The Good Place 's rare combination of half-hour network comedy and intense moral philosophy discourse actually worked is because of the amount of effort its creators took to get the philosophy part right. People wrote articles about what moral philosophers thought of The Good Place ("Whenever Chidi gives those quick philosophy lessons and explains what people were saying, it’s always completely right and pretty accessible"); the many schools of ethical thought the show drew...

Little Simz is an artist that's had everyone talking this year. Recent singles like "Woman" and "Introvert" have touched on themes of oppression, race, and sisterhood, and it's clear that her forthcoming album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert , is going to be a big one. To mark the album's release on Sept. 3, Simz performed a number of the tracks for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert , which included "Introvert", "I Love You, I Hate You", "Point and Kill" (featuring Nigerian artist Obongjayar), and "Woman." Unsurprisingly, the London-based rapper did not disappoint. Prior to performing "I Love You, I Hate You," a song that Simz wrote about her relationship with her father, she shared with fans that "This song is a very deep and personal one; it's from my new album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert . It took a lot to write this song, and I'm very proud of myself for writing it. I had to dig deep ...

Derry Girls has been one of our favorite shows ever since it first aired back in 2018, and luckily, we won't have to wait long for it to return. Ian McElhinney, who plays Granda Joe, recently confirmed in an interview with the Belfast Telegraph that filming for the third series is due to begin next month. It's been two years since series two ended, and we've been desperately awaiting the return of our favorite cast members , so we're naturally very excited by this news. A specific date for filming has yet to be confirmed, but since it's basically September already, we can only imagine that it'll begin pretty soon! With filming beginning imminently, the next question on everyone's lips is: when will it air? Well, McElhinney also mentioned that the team hopes to finish filming by Christmas, with the series set to land on our screens in early 2022. Earlier this year, Tara Lynne-O'Neill (who plays Ma Mary) also hinted that the new series of the show w...

We couldn't say goodbye to summer without another round of head-scratching celebrity headlines on this week's episode of Not Over It . For starters, why are we suddenly so obsessed with all of Hollywood's bathing habits?

Ever since Serial kicked off this golden age of true crime podcasts , thousands of amateur sleuths have spent their days obsessing over the details of some grisly murder or other. True crime podcast obsessives are a macabre and growing subculture, with their own forums, lingo, and tropes. With all of those people spending so much of their time thinking about crime, the question remains: Do true crime podcasts render their listeners paranoid about murder — or prepared to solve one on their own? That question is the setup for Only Murders in the Building , a half-hour Hulu comedy about three strangers whose only commonalities are living in the same ritzy Upper West Side apartment building and being obsessed with a popular true crime podcast. When one of their neighbors suffers a mysterious and violent death, those same strangers apply their true crime knowledge to solving his apparent murder while making a podcast of their own. The resulting adventure is a polished, hilarious, and co...
