Scott " Kid Cudi " Mescudi and Kenya Barris are changing the world of animation with their new Netflix series. Unlike any animated special you've ever seen before, " Entergalatic " brings Mescudi's eighth studio album of the same name to life with an imaginative musical love story - which follows neighbors-turned-lovers Jabari (Mescudi) and Meadow (Jessica Williams) as they navigate the twists and turns of their budding romance in New York City. It features an A-list lineup of animated famous faces, including Timothée Chalamet, Vanessa Hudgens, Teyana Taylor, Jaden Smith, and Ty Dolla $ign, as well as songs from Mescudi's album, all of which he recorded before enlisting the help of his cocreator, Barris, to mold his latest vision. "Scott did me an amazing favor for my daughter that was just so sweet and who Scott is." Barris tells POPSUGAR that his joint venture with Mescudi began with an act of good faith from the "Day 'n' N...

Image Source: VH1 Poppy Love, aka AJ McLean, has made it to the season two finale of " RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race ," and win or lose, he's undoubtably left his mark on the show. Week in and week out, viewers witnessed McLean work tirelessly to bring magic to the stage as Ms. Love, from his Lady Gaga-inspired "Born This Way" performance to his out-of-this-world "The Boy Is Mine" duet with Morgan McMichaels. McLean tells POPSUGAR it's an "honor" and a "privilege" to have made it this far in the competition. "I could have been bounced after episode one, and I still would've had the f*cking best time of my life. This experience changed me for the better," he says. "The number one thing that I took from this show is to love the body that I'm in. And it's been absolute heaven." "The number one thing that I took from this show is to love the body that I'm in."

A lot has changed since "Hocus Pocus" (aka The Ultimate Halloween movie) was released in 1993, especially the actors. OK, maybe Bette Midler looks mostly the same, but the child and teen stars from the original haunting tale are all grown up now. And while some, like Thora Birch and Sean Murray, have continued to act in film and TV, others, like Omri Katz, have moved on to other projects. Only the original Sanderson sisters - Sarah Jessica Parker , Kathy Najimy, and Midler - plus Doug Jones (aka, Billy Butcherson) return in the just-released, long-awaited sequel , but we can always watch the original movie again and revisit the Salem residents we first fell in love with. Back in 2018, Parker confessed on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" that though the movie is a classic with fans, her own recollection of it was pretty hazy. "I don't have a lot of memories. I remember the filming of it. I just don't remember what the movie's about as much,...

His own father, José Rivera, took the stage to do the honors of presenting the award to him - talk about a sweet and unexpected surprise! Nicky broke down in tears as his dad presented the award and walked over to give him a big hug. The two embraced for a few minutes before the reggaeton artist gave his acceptance speech.

"Hocus Pocus 2" has a very funny moment that calls back to one of the stranger - and most criticized - parts of the 1993 original. In "Hocus Pocus," the Sanderson sisters (Bette Middler, Sarah Jessica Parker , and Kathy Najimy) can only return to Salem if a virgin teen lights the Black Flame candle. Max (Omri Katz) is the one to do it, and the movie is shameless in mocking him for his lack of sexual experience. Even his 8-year-old sister, Dani (Thora Birch), makes fun of him for it. The focus on virginity is a little weird for a movie ostensibly for kids, and it's been the subject of a lot of criticism over the years for buying into tropes of toxic masculinity. Max doesn't deserve to be mocked because of what he has or hasn't done in his relationships (never mind the fact that virginity is a construct ). " Hocus Pocus 2" makes a great change around this plot point, though. Early in the movie, Becca (Whitney Peak) and Izzy (Belissa Escobe...

When I first started writing on the internet 20 years ago, there was one subject that sat at the center vector of all my interest circles, and that subject was queer horror. Queer horror has everything — it has queers! It has horror! Like I said — it has everything!  Queer horror had already been my main focus when I went to film school in the late '90s (you guys have no idea how many different ways you can watch Nekromantic 2 ) . And it turned out that the World Wide Web was full of us weirdos who’d found our queerness more modeled in the shape of Pinhead than that of Patti Lupone. (Although I admit today that I have no idea who’d win in a fight between those two. Give us that battle royale!)  Anyway, one of those internet weirdos that I bonded with over the subject of queer horror many a moon back was a writer dude by the name of Bryan Fuller , whose television program Pushing Daisies was just about to hit the air. That show, candy-coated though it might’ve been, wore it...

There's been plenty of pixels spilled about Billy Eichner's Bros and how a big studio rom-com is breaking ground by featuring two gay men falling in love — conventionally attractive, white, cis men, that is. But the B plot about Eichner's character Bobby opening an LGBTQ museum offers viewers a chance to delve into slightly lesser-known aspects of queer and gender-diverse history, as well as scene-stealing turns from actors from those communities. On its surface, this story arc sounds like a set-up for snark, but it's all heart and smarts. Ts Madison and Miss Lawrence, who both dazzle in Bros , are hoping this film will push Hollywood to increase Black trans visibility in cinema. In a conversation with Mashable , Ts Madison and Miss Lawrence discuss how Bros is breaking barriers, how they found inspiration for their characters, and the Black trans icons whose stories deserve to be told — and they give each other their flowers.    Ts Madison and Miss Lawrence fou...

What a time to be a " Hocus Pocus " fan! A sequel to the 1993 cult classic movie is coming to Disney+ on Sept. 30, and, now, the Sanderson Sisters may soon be casting a spell on Broadway, as well. In an upcoming episode of "The Art of Kindness" podcast (via People ), " Hocus Pocus " creator David Kirschner revealed a stage musical adaptation of the movie is in development. Apparently, the show had been in the works even before COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the entertainment industry, and now that things have somewhat returned to normalcy, it's back on. "I just want to pinch myself," Kirschner said of the opportunity to bring "Hocus Pocus" to Broadway. "I'm just afraid I'm going to be nine years old and on a little league field again . . . But it's just so wonderful just to stand back and watch all of this." The original movie follows a group of teens in Salem, Massachusetts, who unwittingly revive the Sander...

Instead of trick or treating this year, why not spend the night at one of cinema's most recognizable spooky spots? The location in question is the cottage from Hocus Pocus . The Sanderson Sisters are back after 29 years, with the release of Hocus Pocus 2 finally upon us, gracing Disney+ on Sept. 30. To commemorate the occasion, Airbnb has replicated the spooky, spellbinding cottage of dramatic witches Winifred, Mary, and Sarah (played by Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker), tucked within the woods of Salem, Massachusetts.

Hosted by the Sanderson Sisters on the app, the cottage appears to be a near-perfect replica of the witches' home from the films. Broomsticks, apothecary bottles, and melted wax candles are found in every crevice; ancient spell books line the walls, and a smouldering cauldron sits in the middle of it all. Basi...

Citing her desire to give them more control over their lives, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has relieved four of her grandchildren of their royal titles, the royal palace revealed on Sept. 28. "With her decision, Her Majesty The Queen wishes to create the framework for the four grandchildren to be able to shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark as an institution involves," the palace's statement read. The queen originally bestowed royal titles on all of her grandchildren, per the palace's statement. As of today, Margrethe's second son Joachim's children will no longer be referred to as prince and princess and "his/her highness." This means that Nikolai, 23, and Felix, 20, whom he shares with his first wife, Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, and his children with current wife Princess Marie - Henrik, 13, and Athena, 1...

Chris Redd is reportedly dating Kenan Thompson's estranged wife, Christina Evangeline - and no, this is not a sketch. According to "Entertainment Tonight," Redd – who appeared alongside Thompson on both "SNL" and the latter's canceled "Kenan" series - began dating Evangeline after her split from Thompson . Thompson filed for divorce from Evangeline after 11 years of marriage this past May. They share two daughters: Georgia Marie, 8, and Gianna Michelle, 4.
