Bravo host Andy Cohen definitively shut down speculation about Lisa Vanderpump’s potential return to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (Rhobh) during a recent Sirius Xm radio show.

Speaking candidly on “Andy Cohen Live,” Cohen directly addressed the persistent rumors, stating, “It was repeated all over the place that I’m trying to get Lisa Vanderpump back on The Housewives of Beverly Hills. Let me restate my abject love for Lisa Vanderpump, but I don’t know where the rumor came from.”

Vanderpump left Rhobh in dramatic fashion during Season 9, following a controversial “Puppygate” incident involving cast members Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley. The reality star was accused of leaking negative stories to the media, which ultimately led to her departure from the show.

Despite her absence from Rhobh, Vanderpump remains an active presence in reality television. She continues to star in and produce “Vanderpump Rules” and recently launched a new Hulu series,...

Pamela Anderson isn’t holding back about how good it feels to receive high praise for her new film The Last Showgirl — especially after the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which was released nearly three years ago, was made without her knowledge, she says.

Anderson recently went on Sirius Xm’s Andy Cohen Live to discuss The Last Showgirl, and Cohen asked her about Pam & Tommy. “I didn’t have any involvement. No one called me, which was so strange and that was hurtful,” Anderson said. “I think ethically it’s illegal. But I mean, you’re kind of fair game. I remember people telling me that a long time ago that you are basically public property and have no right to privacy.”

Cohen then asked her if anyone from Hulu ever came to her and tried to make it right. Anderson replied, “No they haven’t.”

Ask any two music fans what qualifies as yacht rock, and an argument is sure to ensue.

Does Steely Dan count? (Absolutely.) What about Hall & Oates?

In the late 1970s and early ’80s, the term “yacht rock” was not yet a thing. But everyone knew the music of the Doobie Brothers, Toto and Christopher Cross — who swept the 1980 Grammys with his shimmering ballad “Sailing.”

Those acts topped the charts in an era when slick production, smooth melodies and expert chops ruled the radio waves alongside the country-tinged hits of the Eagles. That would all change when MTV crashed the scene. Suddenly the likes of “What a Fool Believes” and “Africa” were consigned to the uncool “soft rock” heap. After the rise of Madonna and Michael Jackson, some of the earlier wave of musicians moved on to soundtracks, like Kenny Loggins with the “Top Gun” hit “Danger Zone.”

The late Robin Williams is still loved due to the impact he had with his signature comedy. The actor starred in films like Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and Good Morning Vietnam, and made himself endearing to viewers. He also voiced the Genie in the animated Aladdin film and became a pop culture staple.

One of his most beloved performances is that of the titular role in Mrs. Doubtfire. For playing a divorced father, who dresses up as a nanny to be near his children, Williams received the Golden Globe for Best Actor. To get the voice and look of Mrs. Doubtfire right, he reportedly went into an adult store to test it out on the general public.

Dungeons & Dragons' latest dice sets offer something unique for every class. Dice are the heart of any DnD campaign, and collecting them has become a favorite secondary pastime for many a player. They're (usually) cheap physical accessories to what's often an expensive hobby. They also come in just about every color, shape, and size, from mini to massive, from resin to bone, from cube to cylinder to icosahedron, and every other variant you can imagine. Those who collect (or hoard) dice have earned the moniker "dice goblin" for their apparently insatiable greed.

And dice goblins will rejoice today with the release of Adventure DIce, 15 class-specific dice sets in an officially licensed product line by Sirius Dice, as announced by the official DnD X (formerly Twitter) page. Each set matches with a particular class, and includes all the dice a character of that class will need "through Tier 2". That means each...

Conan O’Brien said that as part of his “Trouble at NBC” song-and-dance number at the 2006 Emmys, which enumerated the many challenges facing NBC, even though the awards show was airing on NBC. For this writer’s money, that entire Emmys broadcast was the most successful of this young century. And all thanks due to O’Brien’s whipsmart but never truly cynical energy. It’s a formula he should replicate at the 2025 Oscars, where the Academy just announced this morning that O’Brien will host.

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker have unlocked the secret to a happy marriage. The duo, who married in 1996, are one of the longest-standing Hollywood power couples. While they’ve enjoyed a successful romantic relationship, they carefully approach mixing their professional lives. Parker and Broderick have been cautious about which TV or movie projects they take on together and which they allow their partner to complete individually. Matthew Broderick recently discussed Parker’s iconic series, Sex and the City, and why he never appeared in it.

While Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker aren’t against working together, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off actor never appeared in Sex and the City.

Elizabeth Olsen’s arc as the Scarlett Witch was not explored enough in the MCU films, so fans were excited for her TV series. WandaVision was a hit among the masses, who were enthralled by her performance and the captivating storyline.

However, the spin-off series Agatha All Along released with skepticism from fans who weren’t sure if the show would work. Fortunately, the deeper look into the Wizarding community within the MCU was appreciated by fans. The Kathryn Hahn starrer did garner mostly positive responses but it was the appearance of one character which stole the show. Evan Peters played a major role in the parent show and his glimpse in the new episode has viewers thrilled.

The Harry Potter books are coming back to life with a TV remake, which has naturally drawn a lot of criticism, but this ignores one harsh reality about the movies. The Harry Potter books became a worldwide phenomenon in the late 1990s and the 2000s, and the story of The Boy Who Lived continues to have a solid and loyal fanbase. Although over a decade has passed since the Harry Potter movie saga ended, Harrys story is now getting a remake in the shape of a TV show, set to be released on Max.

A Harry Potter TV show was announced to be in development in 2021, but not much is known about how it will cover the books. At the time of writing, the Harry Potter TV show is in the process of finding its main cast, but some of the actors from the movies have expressed their very honest opinions about the remake.

After The Beatles broke up, Paul McCartney and John Lennon didn’t have much to agree on. Lennon insulted McCartney’s solo music and they clashed endlessly over the band’s contractual agreements. Ultimately, these constant clashes made them agree on one thing. McCartney admitted that the bitterness in the aftermath of The Beatles’ breakup tainted his view of the band for a time.

Paul McCartney said he felt as negatively about The Beatles as John Lennon for a time

After The Beatles broke up, Lennon often spoke derisively about the work they did together as a band. He dismissed some of the songs they released and said they were con artists. McCartney admitted that navigating the messy band dynamics after their breakup made him feel the same way, at least for a time.

A few days back, during the Emmy Awards event, Sirius Black actor Gary Oldman had expressed his desire to return to the magical franchise with the HBO television reboot. During an interview, Oldman had wished to play Dumbledore, if Warner Bros. ever approached him for the highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series.

Surprisingly, Gary Oldman’s comments were met with both excitement and skepticism from fans. Taking to social media, people had wished for Richard Harris’ son, Jared Harris to take on his father’s pedestal and appear as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter reboot. Unfortunately, according to recent reports, the Chernobyl actor, who could have been perfect for the role, ruled out the opportunity.

Fans Vouched for Richard Harris’ Son Amid Gary Oldman’s Interest in Harry Potter Reboot

Fan favorite Sirius Black actor from the realm of magical fandom,...

Gary Oldman wouldn’t mind another trip to Hogwarts.

The veteran actor, who memorably portrayed Sirius Black in four Harry Potter films in the 2000s, said he’s not opposed to boarding the new cast of the TV reboot from HBO, which is currently searching for its Harry, Ron and Hermione.

While he told IndieWire at the Emmys red carpet that the show’s creative team has not approached him about any roles, he added that he felt his character was not as present in the films as he would have liked him to be — a sentiment long-shared by fans of the magical franchise.

“I love Sirius,” the Slow Horses star said Sunday. “He wasn’t in it enough. He turned up and then he went through the veil.”

Though the Oscar winner is not expecting any calls soon, perhaps he’ll return on the small screen in another equally...

Gary Oldman played Sirius Black in the Harry Potter franchise, but he recently told IndieWire that he didn’t appear in the movies enough.

“I love, Sirius,” Oldman said. “He wasn’t in it enough. He turned up and then he went through the veil.” After Oldman’s first appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, he made a cameo in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and showed up in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where he was killed off. He made another cameo in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, but all in all, not a lot of screen time for the Academy Award-winning actor.

With the upcoming Harry Potter TV series, there’s room for more Sirius Black, and while Oldman isn’t expecting to reprise the role, he would be open to another. “I would bet my money...

Indie rock duo The Kills released a soulful rendition of Billie Eilish’s somber single “Happier Than Ever,” which will be featured on the duo’s upcoming EP Happier Girls, dropping this Friday.

The Kills, made up of singer Alison Mosshart and guitarist Jamie Hince, first performed an acoustic rendition of the 2021 hit during a Sirius Xm taping in 2023. Mosshart said in a press statement that Laurence Bell, the founder of independent record label Domino, reached out after listening to the radio show and encouraged the rock duo to make...

Gary Oldman played Harry's godfather Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies. However, the actor doesn't seem done with the Wizarding World just yet. With HBO making a Harry Potter TV adaptation with a 10-year commitment to completing the series, Oldman has expressed interest in getting involved.

The announcement of a Harry Potter TV show earlier this year received a mixed reception. There's already eight fantastic movies, right? On the other hand, a TV show allows for a much more thorough adaptation of the books. The writers are not held back by the limited duration of a movie. Several former cast members have voiced their support of the upcoming series, from Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) to Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).

Now, Gary Oldman has revealed that he's totally down to jump back into the Wizarding World. While it's hard to imagine anyone else playing Sirius, Oldman isn't expecting a call to reprise his old role.

The Kills have revealed a new EP set to arrive this Friday, September 20th. Happier Girl Sessions will feature non-electric versions of four songs from their 2023 album, God Games, in addition to a cover of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever.” As a preview, the duo of Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince have dropped their take on the Eilish hit today; stream it below.

Recorded in London, Happier Girl Sessions will be available both in digital format and as a 7-inch vinyl.

“It’s all Sirius Xm’s fault,” Mosshart revealed in a statement. “We were asked to do an acoustic session with them last year and they’d asked for a cover as part of the session. I’d always really dug ‘Happier Than Ever’ and found myself singing it around the house all the time. It seemed like a good choice, since I...

Gary Oldman pitches his return as a new character in the upcoming Harry Potter HBO TV series. Adapting the books by J.K. Rowling, the first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001, with Oldman eventually making his franchise debut as Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). Oldman's Black would meet an untimely end in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), a plot point that is sure to be recreated in Harry Potter HBO TV series, which is set to release on the streamer next year.

While attending the 76th Primetime Emmys, IndieWire asked Oldman about his potential return as Black in the Harry Potter TV show. While the actor doesn't anticipate he will be reprising his role, he does reveal that he has an enduring affection for Black, and that he believes the character may have been underutilized:

I love, Sirius. He wasnt in it enough.

Stephen Colbert has been praised for his respectful conduct toward female guests. Although there was that time he made Serena Williams uncomfortable after toasting against her religion, The Late Show host has established himself as the complete opposite of his pal, Howard Stern. So when Stephen came on the latter's show in 2018, fans were curious how he'd respond to the host's shock value questions.

Howard didn't hold back on grilling Stephen. The Sirius Xm broadcaster immediately asked the late-night star about his ratings. It then led to him bringing up rumors that The Late Late Show's James Corden was replacing the David Letterman successor. But Stephen didn't give in to the bait. James apparently CBS' most unpopular late show host had also denied the speculations, two years before the interview. Here's what happened between the three.

Harry Potter welcomed veteran actor Gary Oldman to play the mysterious wizard Sirius Black. But it took a while before Oldman felt like he belonged with the crew.

Oldman was very candid about his motivation behind playing Sirius Black in the wizard series. He hadn’t taken on any projects for quite some time. So he saw Prisoner of Azkaban as a means to maintain his income.

“Well, I needed the work – that’s the honest answer,” Oldman once said according to Hpana. “I haven’t worked for a while, a couple of years. So I thought it would be nice to get back to work and earn some money. Pay the bills. Also, it’s prestigious, it’s a phenomenon, so you’re not just making a movie. It’s joining the family of...

"We Want Cody" movement united fans, elevating Cody's championship reign with potential for greatness. Cody Rhodes honored his indie wrestling time in title defenses, paying homage to past rivalries Long-term storytelling intertwines Cody's narrative with Roman Reigns, setting the stage for future clashes.

This year has seen emotions towards Cody Rhodes run a gauntlet of highs and lows, unlike anything he has faced since returning to WWE in 2022. Some fans have been questioning if Cody Rhodes has been a good WWE Champion in the relatively short time he's had with the company's main title, and while some of the criticism is understandable, his reign has already all the signs of greatness. Starting the year by eliminating Cm Punk to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match in January, becoming only the fourth man to ever win the event back-to-back, it's hard to see anything but great storytelling that honors all parts of his lore.

Audiences might not know this but, the sprawling tapestry of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter universe holds tantalizing fragments of lost scenes that would have otherwise enchanted even the casual moviegoers. One among such sequences happens to be the chaos of the Ministry of Magic, where a duel of epic proportions was filmed but never seen.

According to reports, Helena Bonham Carter, embodying the malevolent Bellatrix Lestrange, had engaged in an intricate and breathtaking wand fight with Gary Oldman’s Sirius Black in Order of the Phoenix. Unfortunately, despite being a masterpiece of magical choreography and fierce combat, this epic confrontation was left out of the final cut.

On what was a raucous, joyous night inside the hall, the roll call at the 2024 Democratic National Convention set social media abuzz with the innovative use of a live DJ and music to introduce each state and territory.

During night two of the Chicago convention, DJ Cassidy took on the role of setting up each state and territory with short intro music, as each representative got a chance to talk up their home before declaring their delegates. The song choices ranged from expected (“Empire State of Mind” for New York, “I’m Shipping up to Boston” for Massachusetts), to some truly inspired choices (“Raise Up” by Petey Pablo for North Carolina and “The Way I Are” by Timbaland for Virginia).

The Harry Potter TV remake has the chance to delve into new characters' backstories that were left unexplored in the books and movies. The characters represent a complex portrayal of redemption and loyalty within the opposing ideologies in the series. By focusing on these individuals, the new show can offer a fresh perspective and a more nuanced exploration of the Wizarding World.

The Harry Potter TV remake that's coming to HBO has a lot riding on it, as dedicated fans of the books and movie series have high expectations. However, the TV show has the opportunity to expand on minor characters and story mysteries that are left underdeveloped by the existing content. Including additional information and backstories will answer questions that have been left open-ended for years and make Harry's journey all the more satisfying. Since audiences are already familiar with the basics of the Harry Potter series, the new...

Kelly Clarkson began her career as a daytime talk show host in 2019. One of the most popular segments is when she performs a cover of another artist’s song. A huge change is coming in the ‘Kellyoke’ segments. What’s going on? Keep reading for more.

When Does The Kelly Clarkson Show Return?

Kelly Clarkson loaned her voice to the 2024 Olympics as a commentator. But she hasn’t forgotten her talk show. The show moved to New York City ahead of Season 5 last year. It will remain in the Big Apple for the foreseeable future as Kelly Clarkson and her kids moved to New York from L.A.

The show has been airing reruns during the summer. The singer’s self-titled talk show won Outstanding Talk Series at the 2024 Daytime Emmys for the fourth year in a row. It has been renewed through at least 2025, so when can viewers expect new episodes?...

There’s no better way to get hype for a basketball game than with a little “Roundball Rock”. Ok, so “Sweet Georgia Brown” is up there, too, but John Tesh’s song helped define pro basketball for a generation, with “Roundball Rock” serving as the anthem for NBA on NBC for over a decade. Now, it is set to take the court yet again, as Tesh has delivered another spin on the instrumental.

John Tesh built up the updated version of “Roundball Rock” during an interview on The Dan Le Batard Show (via The Hollywood Reporter) by saying, “We went back into the studio and got me on Hammond organ and a guitar player named Andrew Synowiec, which was pretty incredible, and the rest of my band…I wrote an extra piece to put on the end of ‘Roundball Rock’, and then we did what’s known as the shredded version.

Although J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter franchise has resonated with audiences through generations, only a few scenes from the films could evoke a sense of satisfaction and happiness like the one conjured up by Gary Oldman. In the enchanting wizarding world, the electrifying moment when Sirius Black punches Lucius Malfoy was actually born out of a humble request from Oldman.

It turns out that the pivotal scene in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, from the Ministry of Magic, wasn’t a directorial choice. Instead, the particularly satisfying scene was a result of Gary Oldman’s imagination who had been dreaming of doing something boyish like his character would do.

HBO's Harry Potter remake can provide a more faithful adaptation of Sirius Black's story. Sirius' character development and relationships with Harry and Kreacher were simplified in the movies. Sirius' story carries deeper lessons about prejudice and unconscious biases, which can be better explored in the remake.

The Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie made a frustrating change to Sirius Black's character that completely ruined his story. While the death of Harry's godfather was tragic regardless, the more profound lessons it was meant to reflect were entirely lost in Warner Bros films. Not only did this lessen the event's overall impact, but the Boy Who Lived walked away from the situation carrying all the responsibility for the tragedy, which wasn't the case in the Harry Potter books. Now, it's up to HBO's TV remake to set the record straight about Sirius Black.

What kind of music goes best with comedy? Even if you’ve never seen The Benny Hill Show, you know its silly, sped-up theme song. For years, funny movies would incorporate swinging jazz or playful orchestral tunes. Then, in the late 1970s, John Landis had the idea to tap acclaimed Oscar-winning composer (and friend) Elmer Bernstein to write a no-winking serious score for Landis’ outrageous Animal House. The juxtaposition worked perfectly, the onscreen hijinks accentuated by Bernstein’s soaring strings — almost as if the movie was pretending to be classy while the characters were thumbing their nose at the pomposity. Soon, other movies, like Airplane! (also scored by Bernstein), were doing the same thing, proving that what initially seemed like a bizarre notion for music in a comedy could actually be brilliant.

But times change, and one trend gets replaced by a new one. By the mid-1980s, several hit comedies contained a hit single.

Season 8 of Below Deck Med was not a good one for Kyle Viljoen and many Bravo fans wanted to see the back of him. He clashed with Tumi Mhlongo, Natalya, and Max Salvador. After he left the show, he claimed that he got death threats. But, it seems that didn’t put him off reality TV as he hinted at a return.

Kyle Viljoen Got Some Support

Kyle hails from South Africa, a country that legally recognized same-sex marriage in 2006. However, the Below Deck Med alum recently complained that the yachting industry isn’t open to the LGBTQ+ community. So, in a way, it seems as if he blamed most of his problems on that. For Bravo fans, it seemed less complicated. In Season 7 they thought he was lazy and in Season 8 those allegations arose again.

There’s a classical quality to the imagery of filmmaker Sirius’ dance/narrative hybrid short Morning Interlude, about a young couple reconciling their differences with one another after a long, restless night. It’s a look achieved through the combination of a gripping story of a couple on the edge told through wide, black and white anamorphic photography that captures the incredibly cinematic landscape of an isolated country road adjacent to an empty train track. That amalgam of elements is what caught our eye when we first watched Sirius’ short, but there’s also an unexpected comedic sensibility that grows into the film as it plays out, taking the short into truly unique territory. Dn joined up with Sirius for a discussion on the making of Morning Interlude, talking through everything from the influence of Leos Carax and Denis Lavant to the challenge of subtly blending dance with performance.

The Star Wars franchise has entertained audiences since the 70s, and its reputation has never been the same since the original trilogy.

Sydney Sweeney has had an interesting trajectory in the industry with the actress being one of the most promising among the current bunch of actors in their 20s. Despite her talent and range as an actress that she has proved in projects like Euphoria, Anyone But You, and Immaculate, the actress has been mostly seen as the sexy blonde who frequently goes n*de in most of her projects.

Patrick Gottsch, who dedicated his life to promoting and growing the rural and western way of life, died on Saturday, May 18, at the Fort Worth Stockyards. He was 70 and no cause was given.

Gottsch founded The Cowboy Channel in 2017, which became the Official Network of ProRodeo. Since Tuesday, The Cowboy Channel has been broadcasting a nightly 30-minute special on Gottsch’s life and career, with a one-hour telecast planned on Friday evening.

Yellowstone and 1883 creator Taylor Sheridan issued a statement.

“Patrick Gottsch was a pioneer and visionary in every sense of the word. He created a central entertainment and information outlet that became an essential tool in the lives of all who work in agriculture and live in rural America. He brought horsemanship into the living rooms of America through exposure to clinicians such as Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, and Ken McNabb. He was a tireless and stalwart protector...

Although Oscar-winner Gary Oldman has had numerous memorable roles in his life, most fans will know him as either Sirius Black from the Harry Potter film series or as James Gordon from Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Oldman made both these roles his own, but Sirius Black is especially noteworthy here, as Oldman remains the only actor who portrayed the character to date, so most Harry Potter fans actually have a tough time imagining anyone else in the role besides Oldman. Still, from some recent comments, it seems that Oldman himself wasn’t satisfied with the role, and that has sparked some controversy.

During a podcast talk in December 2023, Oldman said the following about his interpretation of the beloved character:

“I think my work is mediocre in. No, I do. Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what’s coming,...
