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.

John Oliver has a brutal opinion about the ending of 'E.T.' that you frankly need to hear

Oh, you thought E.T. had a happy ending? Well you're clearly remembering it wrong. Appearing on The Tonight Show on Monday, John Oliver finishes an anecdote about meeting Drew Barrymore (who was, of course, in E.T. ) by sharing a story about how much the film's ending destroyed him when he was a child. The reason? Elliott staying back on Earth rather than going with E.T. in the spaceship. "What's he staying for? His family?" demands an outraged Oliver in the clip above. "An alien you just made a key connection with is leaving, invites you to come, and you stay? Even at that age I understood that the fundamental law of rom-coms — if you can call E.T. that, which I'm not sure you can — is you get on the plane at the end." He makes a very convincing case.

6 things we want from PlayStation’s answer to Xbox Game Pass

PlayStation’s been losing the “hearts and minds” war against Xbox Game Pass for too long — it just doesn't have a service that can compete with Microsoft's "hundreds of games for $15/month" elevator pitch. But that could all change very soon with something called "Project Spartacus." Bloomberg reported that Sony could announce its oft-rumored Spartacus subscription service as early as the end of March. And if previous reporting is true, gamers can expect to see a new PlayStation offering built out of parts of its old services, combining the best of PlayStation Plus (online play and free monthly games) and the best of PlayStation Now (cloud gaming and a Netflix-like selection of free games) into one new business model with multiple subscription tiers.  As Sony gets ready to jump into a competition where it's already years behind, these are the most important things (within reason) that we want and expect to see out of Spartacus when it makes its o

Amber Ruffin's Oscars recap really captures the experience of watching it

Watching the 2022 Oscars on Sunday night was...an experience. Here to recap all the biggest moments is Amber Ruffin, who ran a segment on Late Night with Seth Meyers to quickly bounce through highlights like Beyoncé's performance of "Be Alive" from King Richard , Megan Thee Stallion's "We Don't Talk About Bruno" remix , and CODA 's Troy Kotsur's historic win . Then, inevitably, Ruffin descended into the sheer shock of That Moment , and it may be one of the greatest monologues of our time. Here it is, in all its glory: "Here's a sentence we will say for the rest of our lives: Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. And life as we know it changed forever. I had hoped that it was a bit but that hope quickly turned to dust. A dark sadness filled my home. A darkness I couldn't escape. Had the Oscars lost its magic?" she began. "My sister Lacey called me and we screamed. We screamed a long loud scream of excitement? Terror? I don
