Pearl Jam donates to man who saved Eddie Vedder's life in Hawaii

Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder have given thanks in a huge way this holiday season. All five of the band members joined forces to donate $70,000 to Keith Baxter, a Hawaiian waterman who once saved Vedder’s life after the musician and two friends were involved in a boating accident. After Baxter suffered his own gruesome injury last year, the rockers doubled his GoFundMe campaign, which had raised $70,000 before Pearl Jam wrote a check.

Peggy quits, and Joan sells herself for the firm

Pardon me, I’m still in recovery. For a show that has prided itself on its sly subtlety (with the occasional foot mauling), last night’s episode of Mad Men was like a punch to the gut, followed by a nice roundhouse to the jaw, then a kick in the groin, followed by a steady stream of tears.

PETA calls for investigation into horse death on The Gilded Age

PETA is alleging that HBO's The Gilded Age should add animal cruelty to the list of its historical accuracies. The animal rights organization issued a press release Thursday calling for the network to investigate the death of a horse on the set of the Julian Fellowes-created drama.

Pete Davidson addresses expletive-ridden voicemail to PETA about new dog: 'It was a poor choice of

Pete Davidson is sharing the reason behind his decision to leave an expletive-ridden voicemail for PETA's Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations Daphna Nachminovitch earlier this week. On Monday, the Bupkis creator left a furious message for Nachminovitch — which was later obtained by TMZ — after she called him out in a statement to the outlet for recently purchasing, rather than adopting, a Cavapoo puppy at an NYC store.

Phone Booth

Hungry for some facile, heavy-handed preaching without the stigma of an evangelical thriller? Try Phone Booth, director Joel Schumacher’s high-concept morality play about a scurrilous publicist named Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) pinned down at a pay phone by a righteous sniper (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland, whose silkily stilted delivery makes him sound like he’s competing in the world’s cheesiest poetry slam). Framed for murder by his unseen assailant, our latter-day Sidney Falco can neither leave the booth — located in the heart of New York City’s Retired Stereotype District, ringed with the hooker and pimp caricatures of yesteryear — nor explain the situation to the police without risking a hail of bullets.
