What do you get when you combine the best elements of Rebecca, Gone Girl, and author Silvia Moreno-Garcia? Mexican Gothic: a period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere. It’s the next novel from Moreno-Garcia, which EW can exclusively preview. And good timing, too: The best-selling author is coming off a high with Gods of Jade and Shadow, a fairy tale rooted in Mexican mythology that is now a finalist for the GoodReads Choice Awards.
The new thriller Green Room is playing in limited release in nine cities (it goes nationwide on Friday), but amid all the horror in the film involving Neo Nazis and savage attack dogs and box-cutters, audiences are cheering at one moment evoking the name of Prince.

In 2001, Prince Willam began his studies at Scotland's St. Andrews University, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in geography (hey, it's useful to know the location of all the countries your family rules) and also won the heart of fellow student Kate Middleton. The early days of the pair's romance will be dramatized in the upcoming sixth season of Netflix's The Crown, with Ed McVey playing William and Meg Bellamy portraying Kate.
Prison Break works best when it has compelling villains. The first two seasons — unequivocally the high point of the series — featured strong antagonists like Kellerman, Vice President Reynolds, and Mahone. The story lines that put them in pursuit of our heroes kept viewers invested and interested, not minding the time away from Michael, Lincoln, and Sara.

Worley’s pro-war (or pro-American, as he prefers) anthem ”Have You Forgotten” is No. 1 on the country singles chart, while Black’s ”I Raq and Roll” is No. 43 and climbing (Skynyrd’s ”Red, White and Blue” is No. 15 on the mainstream rock chart). But does patriotism with a beat equal a good song?
It’s almost that time again—time for awkward limo arrivals, insane job descriptions, Chris Harrison one-liners, and of course, watching two people on their “journey” to find love on The Bachelorette.

Pusha-T is keeping Drake on his toes this week with a fiery new diss track aimed squarely at the OVO Sound magnate, whom he refers to as a “deadbeat” dad amid shots at his family. Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex premiered the song, titled “The Story of Adidon,” Tuesday evening. “You mention wedding ring like it’s a bad thing,” Pusha snarks over the beat from Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.” “Your father walked away at 5, hell of a dad thing.
We’re in the final stretch, folks. With only four more episodes remaining, I’m curious what The Good Wife writers have planned for the rest of season 5. Only time will tell, but I do have one request: No more shocking and heartbreaking deaths, please! But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s chat “All Tapped Out.” Zach Woods returned as NSA employee Jeff Dellinger, along with Tyler (Tobias Segal) and NSA newbies Stephen (Michael Urie!
We dished about pol parties and larger-than-life wigs with the comedian-cumrabble-rouser, whose third concert, ”Revolution” (Unrated, 85 mins., Wellspring), is out on DVD and whose newest nationwide tour, State of Emergency, is in full swing. What did you think of the Democratic convention? It reminded me of convenience stores my family used to run. Whenever Korean people get a business, everybody works behind the counter. Democrats are a lot like Koreans: Each has a turn at the podium.
