Phyllis George, a Texas pageant queen who pursued a successful career in sportscasting after she was crowned Miss America in 1971, died Thursday in Kentucky. She was 70. George was considered a trailblazer after she joined CBS Sports in 1974 as a sportscaster and later as a co-host on The NFL Today. Her family released this statement after her death, reportedly due to a blood disorder: “For many, Mom was known by her incredible accomplishments as the pioneering female sportscaster, 50th Miss America and first lady.

Pink and porous yellow will likely never mix again. The Grammy-winning pop star has revealed which of her past releases she thinks are her worst, singling out a song she dropped 14 years ago as part of a special project tied to the Nickelodeon cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. "Worst? I mean, there's been so many. Maybe 'True Love,'" the 44-year-old musician told the Los Angeles Times when asked to reflect on her least favorite tunes among her discography, initially referencing her 2013 single featuring British artist Lily Allen, which she called a "

It’s rare that the commentary track on an action movie features its writers (in the case of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott) debating whether audiences could follow its plot. But then, not all films are ”experimenting with structure…trusting the audience to pick up from what is said or done in the movie and imagine the story that may have come before it.” Critics may not have appreciated the boys’ attempt to break the basic Bruckheimer mold in theaters — action movies move, and who wants to stop and wonder why Capt.

Former Playboy Playmate, actress, and animal rights activist Pamela Anderson paid emotional tribute to Hugh Hefner, the Playboy founder who died Wednesday at age 91 and helped launch Anderson to international stardom. In a video posted to her Instagram page, Anderson is seen crying and wiping away tears as she lies in bed. “Goodbye Hef,” she says at the end of the short video. To caption the clip, Anderson wrote a poem in memory of Hefner, whom she called “the most important person in my life” outside of her family.

It’s a good year for fans of adorable talking British bears. In January, Paddington 2 hit U.S. theaters, earning universal raves and scoring Hugh Grant a much-deserved BAFTA nomination. Now, Disney has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Christopher Robin movie (in theaters Aug. 3), which follows an all-grown-up Christopher Robin as he reunites with his childhood BFF, Winnie the Pooh. You would think that having two movies in one year about small fuzzy bears would be a good thing.

Natasha Lyonne comes off like the last pack of cigarettes in a world of vape pens. She leads Peacock's snazzy new series Poker Face as Charlie Cale, a casino waitress who drinks on the job and before the job. It's charming because it's Lyonne: ashy voice, molten hair, general affect of a kid who wants to be a crazy old coot. Charlie's going nowhere so slow her car won't start. Then the weekly mystery (debuting Thursday) sends her everywhere fast.

Out of all American Psycho‘s many crimes (murder, rape, torture), the one that finally got it in trouble with the police was … a lack of shrink wrap. In Australia, books with mature content can only be sold in shrink-wrapped plastic (presumably so minors don’t flip through them by accident). American Psycho is actually listed as an example in the relevant Australian legal classification code, which makes it even funnier that a recent edition of the book somehow managed to slip through unwrapped.

The Woman is back. And now she’s a director. Pollyanna McIntosh made waves as a captive cannibal in 2011’s cult horror classic The Woman, and since went on to find TV fame on Hap and Leonard (see video above) and playing Jadis/Anne on The Walking Dead. But now McIntosh is returning to the wild, in more ways than one. McIntosh is not only starring in a sequel to The Woman, called Darlin’, but this time she wrote and directed the film, which will have three screenings at the upcoming SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

This season on A&E’s Longmire, which returns tonight at 10 p.m. ET, we’ll dive more into the private life of Deputy Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) and her struggles with her husband (Michael Mosley) and her feelings for Sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor). Don’t ask Sackhoff, a veteran of the Battlestar Galactica shipper wars, which way she wants Vic to go in the end. “I always wanted Starbuck to end up with Anders [Michael Trucco], and I think I probably pushed it that direction, so there’s some fans that, like, hate me because they were like, ‘No, Apollo!
