Doris Day. Doris Day, the famous 1950s and ’60s star of Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much and That Touch of Mink, died early Monday morning at age 97. She was known for her work in 39 films as well as for her animal activism. The Doris Day Animal Foundation released a statement on Monday on her death, noting that Day requested no funeral, memorial service, or grave.

Grey’s Anatomy Cold As Ice Season 14 Episode 23 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Grey’s Anatomy Cold As Ice Season 14 Episode 23 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » After being hounded with the previews for “Cold As Ice” all week, in which there were copious amounts of slo-mo shots of April looking very much on the edge of death, it began to feel very un-Grey’s to give away such a huge plot point, if this was indeed to be the episode in which April would die.

Jeopardy! kicked off its annual “Power Players Week” last night, in which well-known journalists and media intellectuals compete on the famed quiz show for the charities of their choice. Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd, conservative commentator S.E. Cupp, and novelist Jonathan Franzen competed on Monday’s show, with Cupp proving victorious in the end after all three failed to correctly answer the Final Jeopardy question. However, Franzen (who called the experience “a nightmare come true”) was as charming and grumpy as ever, finishing in second place.

Austin Rogers. ​I was beginning to think I was falling out of love with Jeopardy! Earlier this year, for the third time, I auditioned for the show. And, for the third time, they didn’t take me. They never confirm you’re not wanted — they just never call. Gutting. Still, I couldn’t stop watching, hoping to learn something by examining which prospectives the show did take. The dull retirees; the pale nerds; the “New Mexico’s Foremost Collector of Pyrite” types … what could they possess that I lack?

Watching Deaf people on television is often a dangerous proposition. That’s especially true of reality television, which has never been known for its ability to transcend stereotypes. Most disabled people on these shows tend to be marginalized or placed in what TVTropes.org would call the “magical cripple” or “inspirationally disadvantaged” box, there to provide inspiring life wisdom but not to have their own story lines or relationships. So when I heard that this season of Project Runway was going to feature a Deaf designer, I knew it was must-see TV for me.

Dermot Mulroney in My Best Friend’s Wedding, With apologies to the original. And Dermot Mulroney too, I guess. At my very first job in Hollywood, a co-star jokingly informed me, “You came here expecting to act opposite Oscar winners, but you’re going to end up sharing scenes with Dermot Mulroney.” At the time, I had no idea she would end up being so right. Moving to Los Angeles provided endless opportunities to star alongside charming 40-something actors.

Strange Magic isn’t very magical, but it sure is strange. So many of today’s kids’ films, both good and bad, wear their inspirations on their sleeves. You can reenact the pitch meetings as you watch the movie, imagining what precise formula of previous hits mashed together gave rise to it. (Last year’s The Lego Movie brilliantly mocked such derivativeness, even as it shamelessly indulged in it.) But it’s rare to find a film that bounces around so weirdly, so uncomfortably between influences and subgenres as Strange Magic does.

Jack Black is a professional at playing teachers. The most obvious one is Dewey Finn in School of Rock, but by, like, the third Kung Fu Panda Po has become a master of kung fu and teaches a whole village of pandas how to kick ass. Black knows how to be a nurturing and thoughtful instructor— breaking out into songs probably helps calm any nerves. So it’s no surprise when Maya Rudolph shared on The Drew Barrymore Show that Black introduced her to improv when they were in high school and encouraged her to say, “Yes and.

After years spent playing preternaturally charming, the White Lotus star finally gets to go full jerk. Writer-director Mike White told Lacy his character was at his worst when he thought he was being nice: “It’s just someone cocking their arm back and being like, Dude, don’t make me hit you.” Photo: Peter Fisher Writer-director Mike White told Lacy his character was at his worst when he thought he was being nice: “It’s just someone cocking their arm back and being like, Dude, don’t make me hit you.

Janelle Monáe doesn’t make albums. She builds worlds. At the outset, you’re swept up in a whirlwind of quirky characters and unique topography, and briefed on the overarching social order that connects them. Monáe is a formidable actor, dancer, and singer-songwriter with a sci-fi heart. Her music has often used robotics allegories to unpack present-day trauma, weaponizing extraordinary machines to extract truths about the human condition, just as Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Mobile Suit Gundam, Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, and Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play with house ethics and morality beneath the glint of precious metals.
