Many things have changed on The Masked Singer stage over the years, but one thing has remained mercifully the same — the clue packages. Each season, all of the contestants get their own batch of cryptic hints and references to help the audience at home figure out who is under the masks, and season 8 is no different. And like each season before it, EW is rounding up all of the info to be gleaned from each clue package, as well as what happens during the singers' time on stage, and the latest guesses from panelists Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Robin Thicke.
It's time to answer The Masked Singer panelists' favorite question, "Who is that?" Season 8 of the musical guessing game is here with a brand-new crop of singing stars hidden under elaborate costumes. This season will feature more contestants than ever before with 22 masked celebrities vying for the win, which went to Teyana Taylor last season, and the likes of Jewel, Wayne Brady, and LeAnn Rimes in the past. The new batch of entertainers boasts a combined 32 Grammy nominations, 16 Emmy wins, eight Gold albums, four Golden Globe nominations, 42 books, 10 Teen Choice Awards, and five Hollywood Walk of Fame stars.
Improving is not the worst thing a new series could do. In fact, it is perhaps the second-best thing a series could do, just after being flat-out consistently good. I stand by my original assessment that The Morning Show is not a great TV, but it is compelling TV, and sometimes that’s just as enjoyable. But where great and compelling finally met (albeit with a nauseating rush of reality) on The Morning Show was in last week’s hourlong flashback to life before the reckoning of Mitch Kessler’s misdeeds — back when he was using his power and influence to manipulate young women, and UBA was happily sweeping up behind him.
The Fox family's journey has officially come to an end. Apple TV+'s daring drama The Mosquito Coast has been canceled after two seasons, Deadline reports. The news comes just two weeks after the series — which stars Justin Theroux, Melissa George, Logan Polish, and Gabriel Bateman — released its explosive season finale on Jan. 6. Based on Paul Theroux's 1981 novel of the same name, which previously spawned a 1986 film version starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, the series centered around Allie Fox (Theroux), an idealistic inventor who escapes the U.
Today, Dec. 18, may be the mother of all celebrity birth dates. Among the stars celebrating today are Keith Richards (who turns 64), Steven Spielberg (61), Ray Liotta (52), Brad Pitt (44), Rachel Griffiths (39), DMX (37), Katie Holmes (29), and Christina Aguilera (27). So imagine the birthday blowout if all these boys and girls got together to share their cake time. We suppose the event would go something like this: DMX: What’s!
Grief is a garden. Something we must tend to, lest the weeds and gnarls of it overtake us. Something that can bloom into a beautiful tether to the people we've loved and lost. That is the notion at the heart of The Secret Garden, first a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and also a 1991 Broadway musical, now significantly revised with eyes on a Broadway run, at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre.
It’s not easy to make an entertaining video when you’re an acclaimed-but-mopey indie band, more known for inducing introspective lethargy than turning frowns upside down. With that in mind, the “Conversation 16” music video from The National, starring Mad Men‘s John Slattery and Daily Show contributor Kristen Schaal, is a real achievement. It’s also not often that such a self-loathing song (sample lyric: “I tell you miserable things after you are asleep”) is accompanied by visual gags like a female president packing a teddy with a presidential seal on it (and we’re not talking Beanie Babies).
Few authors come as reliable as Daniel Silva nowadays. The thriller and spy writer, perhaps best known for his ongoing Gabriel Allon series, has published over 20 best-selling novels across a 20-plus year career, and in that time, has emerged as one of the country’s best-selling powerhouses. Ten of his last 11 novels, including his last seven, have topped the New York Times list and spent multiple weeks in its top ranks.
Sports bars and restaurants are everywhere — and standing-room-only. Everyone’s used to going to the local multiplex to see the latest movies and packing into a music club to hear a favorite band. But heading to a bar to watch NCAA tournament basketball games on a dozen big-screen televisions? That’s something different. The old corner tavern may be doing a slow fade, but the explosion of television sports programming has helped to make sports bars an entertainment phenomenon.
Do not open it till Christmas NBC (''Moroccan Christmas,'' Season 4, Episode 12) Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), always thinking of what to get his bullpen-mate for the holidays, decided to wrap Dwight's (Rainn Wilson) desk, chair, lamp, computer—basically everything—in Christmas wrapping paper. Or, that's what it looked like. It was the gift that kept on giving...provided you watch it over and over again. Keep on going through the gallery to see Jim's best.
