Lanterns concluded its first season by finally transforming John Stewart into Earth's Green Lantern, but the HBO series made one more significant change to DC Comics lore before the credits rolled. Rather than having Aaron Pierre's John recite the traditional Green...
ABC News is under fire after a shocking report appeared to romanticize the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The segment, which aired during a Special Report, featured ABC correspondent Matt Gutman describing the text messages between accused killer Tyler Robinson and his roommate, a biological male who was reportedly “transitioning” to female, as “very touching.”
After hours of blowback for skipping X, Sucker Punch Productions and PlayStation eventually pushed the new Ghost of Yotei: One Thousand Blades trailer to the platform. Whether that posting was always scheduled or a scramble response to criticism is unclear. What is clear: the audience reception was rough. The Ghost of Yotei trailer’s like/dislike ratio on YouTube swung hard negative, and the comment sections filled with references to Charlie Kirk and the studio’s silence over now former senior artist Drew Harrison’s celebratory posts about his assassination.
Jimmy Kimmel has long been one of the most partisan voices on late-night television, but his recent comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk crossed from mockery into outright misinformation. On his ABC show, Kimmel smeared conservatives and President Trump by wrongly claiming Kirk’s alleged killer was a Trump supporter. The reality? Evidence has revealed the suspect was radicalized by supposed “anti-fascist” rhetoric — the very opposite of the narrative Kimmel peddled to his shrinking audience.
The controversy surrounding Sucker Punch Productions is not going away. Just days after reports surfaced that senior developer Drew Harrison was fired following her celebration of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the studio has dropped a brand-new trailer for Ghost of Yotei. But fans immediately noticed something unusual: while the Ghost of Yotei trailer has been posted to YouTube and Bluesky, it has not been shared on X, one of the largest gaming discussion hubs on the internet.
When Bob Iger returned as Disney CEO, he suggested the company would step back from divisive politics and “quiet the noise” surrounding its involvement in culture wars. Yet Disney’s latest hiring move makes it clear the corporation is not backing away from its controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. In fact, it’s doubling down — with a position that pays nearly a quarter of a million dollars per year.
Robert Redford, one of the most enduring and respected figures in American cinema, has died at the age of 89. According to his publicist Cindi Berger, the actor, director, producer, and activist passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, at his home in Sundance, Utah, surrounded by his family.
A disturbing rumor spread across social media this week claimed that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling had been diagnosed with cancer. While Rowling’s representatives quickly clarified that the story was false, the damage was already done. The so-called “joke” triggered a wave of glee from hostile corners of the internet — the same sort of vile celebratory rhetoric seen daily since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In the days following the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Hollywood figures and entertainment insiders continue to reveal where they stand on one of the most disturbing political killings in modern American history. The latest voice to emerge and attack Charlie Kirk is Lilly Wachowski, the co-creator of The Matrix and a biological male who identifies as female.
Only at Walt Disney World could something this outrageous happen—a robbery straight out of a Hollywood heist film. In the early hours of Monday morning, a thief in scuba gear allegedly robbed Paddlefish at Disney Springs and then swam away and escaped. Authorities say he made off with between $10,000 and $20,000 before vanishing into the waters surrounding the restaurant.
When it comes to self-importance, Hollywood never disappoints. Sunday night’s Emmy Awards tried something different: host Nate Bargatze set up a clever gimmick where Hollywood celebrity winners could either help raise money for kids in need or — if they couldn’t keep their mouths shut — siphon funds away. And guess what happened? Hollywood Emmy speeches proved exactly why so many people can’t stand award shows anymore.
In the wake of the tragic assassination Charlie last week, outrage has erupted over Bethesda, a major video game studio, being accused of mocking his death online. The post in question has since been deleted, but as of this writing, Bethesda has not issued an apology or statement addressing the backlash.
Elizabeth Banks just had her second major awards-show faceplant at the Emmys, and this one might be even funnier than the last.
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Banks was tapped to present Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Rather than simply introduce the nominees and let the moment speak for itself, she tried to make it into a feminist statement. Banks proudly pointed out that five of the six nominees were women, touting it as a big cultural milestone.
Cue the punchline: the one man nominated — Philip Barantini, for Adolescence — immediately won.
