The last time Vulture spoke to Andrew Garfield, we caught him in the middle of an existential moment. Promoting his 2015 foreclosure drama 99 Homes just as the presidential election was about to get underway, Garfield quite candidly wrestled with the notion that anything he could say as an actor would really, truly matter.
A little more than a year later, so much has changed. With Donald Trump about to assume the presidency and his native England splitting off from the European Union, the ground underneath Garfield’s feet has shifted and so, too, have his own self-doubts about speaking out.
After a long career on the big screen in movies like Waiting to Exhale, What’s Love Got to Do With It, and How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Angela Bassett has become one of the most recent additions to the troupe of actors that go from season to season to season on American Horror Story.We first saw her in Coven as the snake-charming, witch-cursing New Orleans voodoo queen Marie Laveau, and in this season’s Freak Show, she plays the multi-breasted circus performer Desiree Dupree.
Angelica Ross and Ryan Murphy. Angelica Ross, the actress known for starring in two Ryan Murphy projects, Pose and American Horror Story, is cleaning out, and her AHS collaborators are not sparking joy. In a series of posts on X (née Twitter) on September 18, Ross shared screenshots of email conversations she had with Pose and AHS creator Ryan Murphy, accompanied by quotes from Zakiya Dalila Harris’s The Other Black Girl, claiming that he ghosted her after saying he wanted to work with her on a season of AHS, causing her to miss other opportunities, like a Marvel role.
“North and South” Patrick Swayze 1985 © 1985 Mario Casilli Discovery Channel is taking a break from fake shark documentaries to make a new miniseries based on the North and South trilogy, the network announced today. Wait, wasn’t that already a miniseries with Patrick Swayze in 1985? With part two in 1986? And then part three finally in 1994? It was! But this is another take on John Jakes’s books, which follow a Pennsylvania family and a South Carolina family and their patriarchs’ deep friendship.
The theme song that had us all wishing our parents would ship us off to boarding school has a second life thanks to the upcoming Zoey 101 reunion. Jamie Lynn Spears, who played the optimistic Zoey Brooks, a newcomer to the fictional Pacific Coast Academy, and sang the theme song “Follow Me,” reimagined it for a new generation (and the old one that’s clinging to youth for fear of the future).
The bearded man was not intended to be Rasputin, actually. Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Happy May Day to one and all. New month, new me, am I right? Okay, while I’m definitely wrong and nothing of note has changed as we transition from April to May, this week has had more peaks than valleys. A (slightly delayed) 90th birthday concert for my spiritual leader Stephen Sondheim, multiple baby announcements, and a Beyoncé-infused “Savage” remix are all certainly reasons to smile.

As director of the live-action Beauty and the Beast, Bill Condon had quite a task ahead of him: Render one of the most beloved animated films of all time — a movie that included not only just a beast-man but also talking candles and teacups — into something resembling the real world. Fortunately, he’s no stranger to musicals, having written Chicago and directed Dreamgirls, nor films facing high fan expectations — he managed not to disappoint Twilight fans on the two parts of Breaking Dawn.
Bill Cosby was sued by five women in New York on December 5 for alleged sexual assault; some of them are accusing him of rape. NBC Universal, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and the Carsey-Werner Company are also being sued in this civil complaint, as several of these women claim that the companies “knew and/or should have known Bill Cosby was sexually abusing, assaulting, and/or battering women, including on their premises, but did nothing to stop it.
The timing couldn’t have been tighter. This year, it was announced that media multi-hyphenate and erstwhile ESPN personality Bill Simmons was selling The Ringer, the podcast-heavy digital outlet he launched in 2016, to Spotify. The deal was finalized on a Friday in March. The following Wednesday, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson tested positive for COVID-19, as did Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert. Almost overnight, entertainment and sports — The Ringer’s primary coverage areas — ground to a halt and the world as we knew it suddenly ceased to exist.
