TV Updates Bridgerton Season 3: Good vibes return Bridgerton is back, baby, and nothing makes me happier than to announce that the good vibes have returned, too.

Movie Reviews and Previews Blake Lively’s weepy romance Colleen Hoover is a very popular writer who is obviously doing something right as her books connect with so many people, but I have never successfully completed one of them.

Movie Reviews and Previews Glen Powell kicks off his big summer Hit Man drops on Netflix on June 7, and while I am deep in my “I am mad about Hit Man selling to Netflix even though it was Glen Powell and Richard Linklater who decided to sell it to Netflix and yet I am not mad at THEM” feelings, I By Sarah • May 16, 2024 11:19 am
TV Updates Amazon’s traffic jam upfront I used to think the biannual television upfronts, in which TV networks hawk their wares for advertisers, were a relic of a bygone era, but then every streaming service started introducing user tiers that include ads, so now I guess the upfronts are more relevant than ever.

Met Gala 2024 Sleeping Boy Beauties with a side of chips Sebastian Stan showed up at the Met Gala and a bunch of us gasped because he has us locked in his tractor beam of hotness despite being deep into his scumbag era.
