Adapting a prominent book for the screen can be a shortcut to Oscar buzz, but is never a guarantee of success; for every Call Me by Your Name there are so, so many Angela’s Ashes. But this fall brings an unusually competitive set of adaptations, many of them written by their directors and driven by

It’s often said that to love something is to also be critical of its shortcomings. That has always been the case for director Jeymes Samuel, whose inventive new film was born out of both his admiration for and frustration with the Western genre. “I wanted, with The Harder They Fall, to employ all of

Two years ago, Dwyane Wade had a retirement tour that he described at the time as “surreal,” bringing to a close a career that included three NBA titles and 13 all-star selections.

For years, an Academy Award nomination has eluded Beyoncé—a fact that might surprise more casual fans of the superstar. But that’s all poised to change this year.

On Wednesday, Manolo Blahnik celebrated their 50th anniversary with an intimate soirée at the Carlyle.

Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” just got sadder. As if the turbo-boosted, 10-minute extension to the beloved fifth track of Red wasn’t already sad enough, Swift has now released the official “Sad Girl Autumn” version of the 10-minute “All Too Well,” with a live performance video to boot.

No one is doing it like Lil Nas X. As a master internet troll and true visionary, he has yet to miss even once when it comes to playing the music industry game. His promotion for his record Montero put his parody chops and love of tangled tabloid culture on full display; he’s had a People-inspired p

Everything you love is becoming an NFT, which doesn’t necessarily change the way we consume or think about our favorite pop culture artifacts, but is more just a sign that nothing (literally nothing!) is sacred. Hello Kitty, the ubiquitous little face that I just learned isn’t actually a cat, but is

After the fire, and the tears, and the realization of how you’ve held back your power, you’re ready to go global; now you’ve got ideas, and in this manic spree,

Along with crafting devastatingly relatable lyrics, Adele is also skilled in the art of transparency. The Grammy-winning singer recently spoke with The Face about her experience becoming a mother, battling postpartum depression, and maintaining her sense of self.

It seems as if Megan Thee Stallion never takes a day off. Within the past few months the Houston Hottie has become the new face of Nike, released her fan-love album Something for Thee Hotties, and came out with her own “Hottie Sauce” for Popeyes, all while finishing up her degree in healthcare admin
