Rarely has a person made themselves as ripe for ridicule as Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who used his commencement speech at Benedictine University as a platform to tell women they should embrace their roles as wives and homemakers (among a whole lot of other things). The speech was so bonkers that not even Eddie Vedder could resist taking a few shots at Butker at his concert at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Britain’s contributions to the cinematic form have been vast and glorious. Aardman Animation. Alfred Hitchcock. Olivia Colman. 007. High up that list, too, is the British gangster movie – sure, America may often get the genre limelight with classics like Goodfellas, The Godfather trilogy, and Scarface, but nobody does dark, gritty, violent, and darkly humorous quite like the British. You certainly wouldn’t catch football-hardman-turned-movie-hardman Vinnie Jones rolling down the street with some poor geezer’s bonce trapped in his car window anywhere else, that’s for sure!
And so, with tracksuits on, geezer nicknames doled out, and knuckles dusted, Team Empire assembled a list of the very best British gangster movies ever made. From comedy classics, to bruising turn-of-the-century tales of brutality and crime, to contemporary subversions of the genre formula, we’ve covered all bases. These are films of culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog,...

As the saying goes “All good things must come to an end.” This doesn’t mean, however, that someone responsible for creating something special can’t dream about it going on forever. This was exactly the case for William Bell, the creator of the hit daytime soap, The Young and the Restless. Bell, who passed away in 2005, was proud of what he accomplished, and rightfully so. Now that the show is celebrating 50 years on the air, his daughter, Lauralee Bell, is talking about how her father never saw an end to the soap.
The series is celebrating its 50th anniversary
Rarely does any television show last for 50 years, but that is just what The Young and the Restless has done so far. The show recently celebrated five decades of entertaining viewers, and TV Insider can report that there was a huge event in honor of the milestone. More than 60 soap...

Has there ever been a more perfect title for a film during awards season than “Everything Everywhere All at Once”? It vividly describes how the movie has dominated since 2023 dawned, earning accolades everywhere and seemingly all at once – well, except for the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, anyway. I feel like the Daniels could melt down their trophies and start their own precious metals concern. It wouldn’t shock me to learn that “Daniel” has shot to the top of the list as favorite new name for a male baby, and that Elton John’s tune “Daniel” is suddenly number one again 50 years after its original release.
This is indeed a very good time to be Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the two-headed beast who wrote and directed “Everything Everywhere.” They’re on track to personally win three Academy Awards on Sunday, coming off a weekend when their film cleaned...

Berlin, March 6 (Ians) Having experienced all sorts of ups and downs in football might be a reason for Marco Reus not to appear overwhelmingly enthusiastic these days.
Rarely has another German footballer learned the hard way how quickly things can slip out of one’s hand when life interferes with your dreams.
It is far from a secret that the Borussia Dortmund forward is enjoying his side’s current good form, as silverware has come within reach.
But ahead of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League last-16 encounter against Premier League side Chelsea, the 33-year-old is taking things easy despite a 1-0 lead after the first game, reports news agency Xinhua.
Reus seems to count on letting actions speak louder than words despite the current upswing.
The German international might experience one of his most prosperous seasons since slipping into Dortmund’s shirt 11 years ago.

Little Richard: I Am Everything is positively bursting with unforgettable anecdotes, so much so that choosing one standout is virtually impossible. So perhaps offering a personal favorite is more sensible: it was the late ’60s and Richard was performing in the States on a bill that included Janis Joplin. The latter appeared first and destroyed the audience with her passion and verve. Richard, watching from the side of the stage, told a cohort to get to the hotel and retrieve his “mirror suit.” Challenge accepted: when his performance began the lights reflected beautifully off the suit. He was a living mirror ball, resplendent, transcendent. Joplin, watching from the wings, could only utter “Oh my God.”
Janis’ words are fitting. They capture the vivid feeling of hearing––to say nothing of actually seeing––Little Richard at the height of his powers. And of course there is her reference to God. As Lisa Cortés’ remarkable documentary demonstrates,...
