I wanted to ask you a few basketball questions. After so many consecutive years of being dominant, I imagine last year could’ve been very frustrating.

In the fact-based A Very English Scandal, Grant plays disgraced politician Jeremy Thorpe with the confidence

I was going to ask what you think it means for Brooklyn drill to make it to the Grammys, but it sounds like you think it’s not there in the way it should be. Yeah, it should be there in its proper way, but they don’t want it to be, for whatever reason. But at

From the moment that Jeezy and Gucci Mane walked onto the stage at Atlanta’s storied Magic City strip club, the rap world held its breath. This was some prizefight-level programming by Verzuz.

An introvert who prefers to move in silence, Carti finds quarantine to be his natural state. “I’m always at home by myself,” he says. “I don’t really go out like that at all, unless I have to. Studio and the house. That’s it.” After living in New York and Los Angeles for a spell, the

The term “‘90s sitcom” has become white noise. Thanks in part to the fight to secure streaming rights to all the iconic, nostalgia-inducing titles of yesteryear, it feels like the term has been uttered to the point of semantic satiation.
