From Dancin’, at the Music Box. If you’ve gotten the feeling that sex is missing from your entertainment, that you’ve seen one too many neutered superhero movies or buttoned-up but still violent television, let me recommend that you shimmy-shake over to Dancin’. The revival of the 1978 Bob Fosse revue is eager to seduce you.

While Letterman touches on some pop culture-related topics like television (“Anything that happens after 10, I’m not there”) and whether or not he misses his Late Show job (“I haven’t missed it, the way I thought I might”), the best bits from the chat are Letterman musing on raising his son Harry and why he loves spending time in nature at his Montana ranch.

The next Sparks adaptation to hit the big screen, 2008’s Nights in Rodanthe, hauled in a totally respectable $41 million at the domestic box office, and now comes our first look at his next pic.
Sunday night Taylor Swift donned that red-lip-classic thing that you like to attend her maybe-boyfriend Travis Kelce’s game at MetLife Stadium as the Kansas City Chiefs took on the New York Jets. Never mind the star-studded celeb box she sat in (featuring newly single dinner pal Sophie Turner and other new single Hugh Jackman), nor the fact that if there’s one person famous enough to get the Chiefs to change their name, it’s her: Rather, the most guilty of private-plane-using celebs now has a whole new crop of links, photos, and stories that come up when you google “Taylor Swift jet.

Zendaya stars as Ruby “Rue” Bennett, a teenager living in East Highland who is a recovering drug addict attempting to return to a “normal” life.
