Sandra Bullock answering quickfire questions from Stephen Colbert is a real rollercoaster

Interviews about work are all very well and good, but sometimes you really want "plumb the depths," as Stephen Colbert puts it, and get to know the actual person sat in front of you. Enter Colbert's "questionert" , a series of rapid-fire questions that ranges from favourite food items to deep existential questions about life and death, and which Sandra Bullock does her best to answer in the video above. The key takeaways? Bullock is a big fan of Prince, The Matrix , and BLT sandwiches. And in amongst a lot of giggling, she also has some pretty poignant words to say about what she thinks happens after we die. "I think our energy stays around the ones we love." Want more?

It's time for 'Bridgerton' to say gay

Welcome to Fix It, our series examining projects we love — save for one tiny change we wish we could make. With its second season, Bridgerton gave audiences another rich and ravishing journey of scandal and love. Yet for all these pretty pleasures, there was one resounding disappointment: an utter lack of queer romance.  Other critically celebrated historical fiction series have proudly and powerfully centered on queer romance. Just look to the lesbian love at the core of Dickinson or the gay relationship between the pirate captains in Our Flag Means Death . So why couldn't Bridgerton be next?  Yes, Anthony and Kate were lovely and swoon-worthy. But amid all the other Bridgertons, Feathertons, and other assorted gentry, surely there was some opportunity to share some of that Jane Austen brand of Regency romance with some queer characters? In Season 1 , a subplot about a gay painter and his beard of a wife suggested Benedict Bridgerton might have a coming-out arc in Seaso

'Moon Knight' review: Oscar Isaac is the MCU's new secret weapon

Caped crusaders are a dime a dozen, as are the stories of their origins. Understanding the why of how superheroes come to be is treated as a requirement to enjoy their later adventures, just as the serial nature of the MCU semi-requires viewers to watch all of its content to really "get" what's going on in the hot new project. Or it did, until Moon Knight . As a lesser known Marvel comics hero, relating his origin story was the easiest way to introduce a TV audience to Marc Spector, the white suit-wearing antihero with a connection to the Egyptian gods and a penchant for beating up bad guys. Moon Knight thankfully does not take the easy path, trading in the hero's origin story for a narrative that plops the audience in the middle of an extremely strange time in Marc Spector's life — that is to say, when he isn't actually Marc Spector. It first introduces a stranger named Steven Grant, a mild-mannered museum gift shop clerk with a wobbly British accent and s

Lizzo's reality TV show is 100% good as hell

All the rumors are true: Lizzo's reality TV show just took a DNA test, turns out it's 100 percent that bitch. The Grammy-winning superstar has long encouraged people of all shapes and sizes to feel good as hell about themselves, campaigning through her music and social media for body positivity, self love, and empowerment and against fatphobia, abuse, and body shaming. Now, she seeks to do exactly that in her new Amazon Prime Video show, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls . In the eight-episode series directed by Nneka Onuorah, Lizzo's on the hunt for more performers to join the Big Grrrls, her top tier squad of touring dancers, primarily for a headlining performance at major Tennessee festival Bonnaroo. It's Lizzo's first live show in two years after the outbreak of the pandemic, so the stakes are high, pressure on — you get it. When Lizzo put the call out, thousands responded with audition videos, which she explains has not been the singer's experience before no

'Bridgerton's Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan react to people's unpopular opinions

We can't get enough of Bridgerton Season 2 right now. If you've already binge-watched the new season, Wikipedia'd all the new cast members and their filmographies to date (don't deny it, we all do it), and settled on your Season 2 crush , then you might enjoy this little treat featuring Simone Ashley and Nicola Coughlan. Ashley and Coughlan joined BBC Radio One's Greg James for a round of Unpopular Opinion , his recurring segment where famous peeps hear listeners' unpopular — and sometimes pretty outrageous — opinions on all manner of topics. (ICYMI, Ashley plays the new season's leading lady Kate Sharma and Coughlan plays Penelope Featherington and Lady Whistledown.) The Bridgerton duo heard readers opine on goat's cheese, binge-watching, doughnuts without holes, watching TV on a phone, and wireless headphones.
