‘Dancing With The Stars’: An Emotional Contemporary And Electric Group Dance Catapult An Actor To The Top Of The Leaderboard - Deadline

Image
Everyone was in the Halloween spirit this week on Dancing With the Stars . Not only did the contestants give some of their spookiest performances, but even the judges got into the holiday, dressing in their best costumes as they doled out healthy doses of praise and critique for each of the remaining nine couples. And it wouldn’t be Halloween without resident trickster Sasha Farber trying to frighten the couples during rehearsal. He snuck up behind some during their interviews and dropped fake spiders into the rehearsal rooms, but the pranks fell mostly flat. In addition to their individual routines, the couples also participated in two group performances to compete for extra points to keep them out of the bottom two. Jordan Sparks and Brandon Armstrong . Praised for her “musicality” last week, the platinum singer’s goal going into Halloween night was to nail down the details and finally perfect her frame during her tango to “Oogie Boogie’s Song.” It seemed to pay off, as head jud...

Image
Can you speak a little about your character? HLR:  She's (Jennifer Coolidge's character's) assistant, and she shows up and she's broke. So she's not one of the, like, fancy, you know, really wealthy people, but she's still very unaware and self-involved ( laughs ). Because Mike likes exploring those kinds of people. But yeah, she's really not having a good time. She's really desperate. She has this, like, deep, stressful, and angsty desperation to have fulfillment in life. And she's only looking outwardly for that, she doesn't have this thought to look inside for that happiness or that fulfillment. So yeah, she struggles a bit. Adblock test (Why?)

Each Zodiac Sign's Weekly Love Horoscope For October 31 - November 6, 2022 - YourTango

Image
Each zodiac sign's weekly love horoscope is here with another astrology forecast for Aries through Pisces starting October 31 - November 6, 2022.  During this week's love horoscope, each zodiac sign will reach the depths of the eclipse portal and within it start to feel fate overrules the choice of free will. After the past few days in which so much occurred from the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio to planets shifting into Scorpio and Mars turning retrograde in Gemini, it may seem quiet, but don’t let appearances fool you. Everything is still involved from last week and the story is not quite finished this week, no matter how many certain things do feel over. The First Quarter Moon in Aquarius will likely bring some shocking revelations that you will need to work with to keep progressing instead of letting it disrupt your plans and dreams.

‘Enola Holmes 2’ Review: Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill Star in Baggy Netflix Sequel - Hollywood Reporter

Image
There were a number of reasons the employees at the Bryant & May match factory wanted to strike in 1888: They were fined for trivial offenses, berated for small errors and paid abysmally for hours of grueling labor. But above all, their owners were killing them. A change in production methods — switching from red phosphorus to white — increased the company’s profit and poisoned the match factory employees. The women and girls developed phosphorus necrosis, a disease that caused engorged abscesses in the mouth and fatal brain damage.  Enola Holmes, the protagonist of the quick-witted and fanciful eponymous YA book series, doesn’t know all of this when she agrees to a missing person case at the beginning of Netflix’s Enola Holmes 2 . Our young detective (played by the exceptional Millie Bobby Brown ) is just itching to solve a mystery. Her attempts to start her own practice — economically chronicled in the buoyantly edited opening sequence — are thwarted by age...

‘Straight Line Crazy’ Review: The Road Rage of Robert Moses - The New York Times

Image
Off Broadway at the Shed, Ralph Fiennes is glorious in David Hare’s sputtering portrait of the man who paved New York. I doubt I’d have enjoyed meeting the real Robert Moses, New York’s paver of highways, evictor of minorities, eminent domain eminence and all-purpose boogeyman. But it’s a huge pleasure to meet him, in the form of Ralph Fiennes, in David Hare’s “ Straight Line Crazy ,” which opened on Wednesday at the Shed. Whether the creature Hare and Fiennes create has anything to do with the creature that created modern Gotham remains, for a while, an irrelevant question. Moses’ actual demeanor and utterance, as portrayed in the nearly 1,300 pages of Robert Caro’s biography “The Power Broker,” are little in evidence at the Hudson Yards theater. Fiennes is too gloriously entertaining for that. Melodramatic in the old-fashioned sense, a hero or villain from an operetta or Ayn Rand, he crows his lines like a rooster, albeit in an accent suspended somewhere between East Anglia a...

Harvey Weinstein’s Lawyers Say Everyone Had ‘Transactional Sex’ in Hollywood Before #MeToo — And Call Jennifer Siebel Newsom a ‘Bimbo’ - Variety

Image
Harvey Weinstein ’s defense told the jury that there is absolutely no evidence against their client and that every woman who will testify in his trial is an actress who will be playing a role on the stand — all to fit the narrative of #MeToo, which they characterized as an “asteroid” of a movement that “burst forth like a supernova” with Weinstein as the poster child. Weinstein’s attorney Mark Werksman told jurors that they should prepare to hear a “firehose of false and unprovable allegations” from women who agreed to have consensual sexual interactions with Weinstein, but years later, are now embarrassed and lying about what really happened. “Look at my client,” Werksman said, pointing to Weinstein. “He’s not Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Do you think these beautiful women had sex with him because he’s hot? No, it’s because he’s powerful.” Weinstein’s attorney told the jury that Hollywood has changed today, but back in the day, “transactional sex” was par for the course. “Sex was ...
