“Is this all for Vanderpump? What’s going on?” Despite the Vanderpump Rules reunion being one of the biggest entertainment events of late, there are only a few options for communal viewing experiences at ground zero, a.k.a. Los Angeles. I end up at Junkyard Dog, a vegan sports bar in Silver Lake, because I want to get the communal fan viewing experience for Scandoval’s final installment. There’s an official viewing party at SUR just six and a half miles away, but it’s $75 per plate and some cast members will be there.

Most sex comedies star boys desperate to get laid, but in Maggie Carey’s The To-Do List, it’s high-schooler Aubrey Plaza who’s plotting to lose her virginity … and the girl has got goals. In fact, Plaza’s got an entire checklist of sex acts to get through and an array of potential lust interests like Donald Glover, Johnny Simmons, and Scott Porter who may fit the bill. CBS Films announced today that the sex comedy will be released next Valentine’s Day, so this teaser is mostly made up of Plaza herself simply giving good deadpan to the viewer, but those stray bits of footage seem promising.

The Walking Dead Sick Season 3 Episode 2 «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » The Walking Dead Sick Season 3 Episode 2 «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Often it’s comforting when television characters stay consistent over the years. It’s the stuff that sitcoms are based on, that feeling that season after season it will always be the same Cliff and Norm cracking jokes at the bar.

Sophie Okonedo, Denzel Washington, and Anika Noni Rose in A Raisin in the Sun.* Everyone’s moaning about Denzel Washington’s age: How can a man who’s 59 play the 35-year-old Walter Lee Younger in A Raisin in the Sun, a character whose very name suggests the drama of coming into manhood? And if Walter’s that old, how can his mother, Lena, be played by an actress — LaTanya Richardson Jackson — who is just 64?

Michael Urie in Buyer & Cellar. Among the first things the actor Michael Urie admits as he addresses the audience at the start of Jonathan Tolins’s Buyer & Cellar is that the premise of the 90-minute one-man play is “preposterous”: “What I’m going to tell you could not possibly have happened with a person as famous, talented, and litigious as Barbra Streisand.” I hope that stipulation is sufficient to keep the lawyers at bay, because the story that follows is too hilarious, and oddly loving, to shut down.

Mekhi Phifer, Rosie Benton, Tracie Thoms, and Dulé Hill in ‘Stick Fly.’ Every moment is a struggle in Stick Fly, Lydia R. Diamond’s ambitious, ambivalent, wildly uneven interrogation of upper-middle-class African-American life. Struggles nest within struggles: race, sex, and class collide, commingle, and collide again. Characters turn on each other and themselves. Even the playwright herself seems to be grappling with what sort of play she wants to write, whom she should punish or redeem, and whether she’s even in the punishment-and-redemption business.

If historical patterns are anything to go by, new versions of Android and iOS 📱 will launch this year, and they’ll include new additions to the emoji tool set. Included in the new Emoji 13.0 set are essential pictograms, like people wearing tuxedos, the cockroach, a bell pepper, and a plunger. Finally. 🙌 You’re going to have to savor these new emoji, however, because they are likely to be the last ones we get until 2022.

Cartoon heroines from the 1990s have ascended to icon status thanks to their digestible feminist messages, the millennial nostalgia factor, and, let’s face it, their instantly recognizable looks. There’s Belle lamenting that “there must be more than this provincial life,” Ariel wanting to be “part of that world,” Esmeralda praying “God help the outcasts,” Pocahontas chiding John Smith that “you think you own whatever land you land on,” the pixie Chrysta single-handedly saving her Australian forest, and Princess Odette offering children a not too edulcorated version of Swan Lake.

Tom Girardi allegedly interrupted his own mental competency hearing by muttering “Fuck you” at federal prosecutors. Girardi has been accused of embezzling over $15 million from his clients, with his ex-wife (and Real Housewife) Erika Jayne facing a $50 million racketeering lawsuit. According to Courthouse News Service, the disturbance took place while prosecution was cross-examining Dr. Stacey Wood, an expert witness for the defense who claims that Girardi lacks the mental capacity to stand trial.
