The NFL’s tendency to show clips of Swift attending the games has sparked some controversy in both the sports world and pop culture, with many “dads, Brads and Chads” expressing disdain for her presence, from claiming games are rigged to stating she is ruining football. It’s time to stop hating on Swift for attending Chiefs games, but not for the reason you might think.
The Founding Fathers never intended for one’s right to bear arms to extend past the purpose of self-defense, yet it has manifested into a tool for hateful individuals to play the role of God. No one is safe until this gun problem is fixed.
If I’m somehow offending you with that statement, then — sorry, not sorry — you are likely watching movies and TV shows wrong while simultaneously detracting from the little details that make them great.
Instead of letting yourself become addicted to your phone, use it as a tool to keep in contact with people you don’t get to see often or as a tool to deepen your understanding of topics you’re curious about. Right now, they are simply becoming a tool to dull senses, push away thoughts and numb emotions.
Besides the discrepancies, I always enjoy “Emily in Paris” because it’s entertaining and the culture is seen through the lens of a bright-eyed, workaholic American. The writers do a wonderful job of incorporating the language, food, fashion and lifestyle of the French.
Could action-packed TV fare make you fat? That’s the implication of a new study that found people snacked more watching fast-paced television than viewing a more leisurely paced talk show.
The day was bright and sunny, much like the future the 1939 World’s Fair was promising. The 35,000 guests who watched President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s opening day speech at the Court of Peace in New York City’s Flushing Meadows on April 30, 1939, were dressed in overcoats.
Winners of the 73rd annual George Foster Peabody Awards were announced Wednesday on “CBS This Morning,” with a record 46 series, specials and reports from television, radio and the Web being honored for excellence in 2013.
In modern day, discovering breaking news is as quick as swiping a text notification on a smartphone or as simple as stumbling upon a trending tweet. News now spreads so expediently and more concisely than any other time in history.
Undoubtedly, times have evolved since the primitive times of technology in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Families would gather around their television set to hear the latest news, mostly in 15-minute evening bulletins.
Baylor athletics director Ian McCaw has never seen Baylor football on television as much as he will beginning with the 2012-13 season.
Due to continuing contract negotiations between “Mad Men” creator Matt Weiner and AMC, the series will not return until early 2012, the network said on Tuesday.
Watch the skies. They’re coming to get us all. “They,” of course, are aliens. Not from South of the Border. From outer space.
So Charlie Sheen says he is on a drug called Charlie Sheen. Can you imagine how long the commercial would have to be to list all the side effects of that? One of them, apparently, is that those who talk to the “Two and a Half Men” star, whose hit CBS sitcom has shut down production for at least the rest of this season, seem to think they are the only ones doing it.
“There was once a time, children, when an actor could be a movie star or a TV star, but not at the same time. I know, it sounds silly. But that’s the way Hollywood worked.”
Once upon a time, there lived a stupid giant. The giant had not always been stupid. Or, perhaps it is more accurate to say the giant had once revered intelligence, reason and the byproducts thereof. Indeed, the giant was renowned for an ingenuity and standard of living that made it the envy of the world.
The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be the only ones out to wow America on Super Bowl Sunday. Those scrappy underdogs from Fox’s musical sensation, “Glee,” are also bringing their “A” game.
After 13 months of pointless scrutiny, federal regulators have done what they were certain to do all along, and blessed the most momentous media deal of this still-new century: The takeover by Comcast, the biggest U.S. cable operator, of NBC Universal, one of the country’s premier sources of news and entertainment.
No sooner are sitcoms pronounced dead, again, than they begin popping up all over, like Whac-a-Moles. This year we have been and will be getting a passel of relationship comedies built around interrelated contrasting sets of couples (and sometimes singles), usually packaged in groups of three, a la “Modern Family,” whose success surely helped turn these lights green. There are perhaps more of them than the market can bear, but if any have to go, I would rather it not be “Perfect Couples.”
“American Idol” — At least the name hasn’t changed. (Yet.) Just about everything else has or will, as the 10th season gets under way tonight at 7 on Fox.
NEW YORK – For such a famously excitable guy, Regis Philbin made a big announcement Tuesday with surprising calm. He’s announced his plans of retiring from his show.
