The RICO trial against six defendants in the group YSL, including Young Thug, has been delayed until January after one defendant, Shannon Stilwell, was stabbed in jail. A Georgia judge told jurors on December 11 that “given the length of time” it would take to respond to the incident, “it may be more prudent” to break for holidays now,” Atlanta’s Fox 5 reported. Stilwell was stabbed at Fulton County Jail in Georgia on December 10, leading the trial to be paused the following day.
In the big Sundance comedy My Idiot Brother, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer play two of the sisters who take in their nomadic hippie brother Paul Rudd but are unprepared for the upheaval he brings into their lives. When the actresses sat down with Vulture during the fest, though, both seemed utterly welcoming of chaos, bouncing back and forth between each other like an expert comedy team. In a freewheeling interview, we discussed women who wear bunny ears, sexy love triangles, and the best things about Pixar that nobody knows.
Streamliner Presented by Streamliner Presented by Hulu might not have the trophy case of original content boasted by Netflix, but the veteran streaming service has still miraculously evolved from a simple, syndicated TV archive to a genuinely vital factor in the ongoing streaming wars. The company claims both fetishizable back catalogues (it’s the singular home of all things Star Trek) and a bevy of prestige properties (The Handmaid’s Tale and Mrs.
Grande and Davidson dated for one magical, “big dick summer” in 2018. Pete Davidson is right about one thing. After his breakup with Ariana Grande, the world collectively rebounded with Thank U, Next. So, he figures, Grande got her double-album drop and now he gets his Netflix special, Alive From New York. In his set, sandwiched between the Dan Crenshaw controversy and 9/11 jokes, Davidson attempts to rewrite the relationship’s history from his perspective, like that leaked Stephenie Meyer Twilight spinoff from Edward’s point of view.
Few modern musicians’ discographies have been anthologized and compiled as exhaustively as Morrissey’s, thanks to the many Morrisseyisms he unleashed during his inspired run in the 1980s with the Smiths and over a solo career that now spans more than a quarter century. But even the most ardent completists can be guilty of favoritism for selected tracks and eras, resulting in shameful blind spots that shroud comparatively neglected diamonds in the rough.
Comic-Con! It’s like a film festival for $200 million blockbusters — if, instead of actually getting to watch movies, you waited in line for hours just see their trailers. Still, the San Diego–set geek mecca remains a prime press opportunity for Hollywood’s sci-fi spectaculars and superhero sequels, and when the Con officially kicks off tomorrow and runs into the weekend, Vulture will be there, bringing you back all the good scoops.
Diego Luna in Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico. Narco traffickers are having a cultural moment. In addition to the trial of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán now underway in Manhattan, there’s the coincidentally timed premiere of Narcos: Mexico. The new season of the Netflix series follows the ascent of cocaine kingpin Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, with whom El Chapo got his start in the 1980s.
Of course, the Mexican outlaw oeuvre known as narco cinema has been training a lens on drug dealers for decades.
Comedians in commercials are definitely a thing. I’m no good at trivia, but I can always impress my (non-comedy nerd) friends and family members by knowing the names of actors in commercials because so many of them are stand up and improv comics. From a 2009 episode of The Comedy Nerds Podcast called Comedians in Commercials comes this: “It’s a great way to make money and also to get seen. For many comedians, they’re good actors, and have good comedic timing and good comedic abilities and it’s hard to get someone to actually pay for that in the stand up comedy world.
The Swift Syllabus Ongoing education about the singer’s many intersecting universes. The Swift Syllabus Ongoing education about the singer’s many intersecting universes. Now that the lavender (or should we say red?) haze has dissipated, it’s clear: Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, or at least doing something approximating it. After weeks of rumors and some goading from Kelce himself, Swift appeared at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, sitting with Kelce’s mom, Donna, in a box.
Operation #SaveTheVentureBros is a success. Today, Adult Swim announced in a press release that it is greenlighting three movies based on three of its original animated series: Venture Bros., Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Metalocalypse.
