Netflix’s hit reality television show is hosted by actress and comedian Michelle Buteau, 45, who has also starred in films like Always Be My Maybe and Isn’t It Romantic. The Circle follows a group of contestants who live in the same apartment building but communicate only through online messaging devices, never meeting face-to-face or even hearing each other’s voices. Throughout the game the cast rate each other at ranking ceremonies, with the most popular being deemed “influencers,” and the least being at risk of being “blocked” and eliminated from the game....

Posting on Reddit’s popular r/antiwork forum, Redditor u/nenonina (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said her employer recently came under new management and explained how her reaction to the group’s oppressive dress code sparked the major change to her usual schedule. “I’m a waitress at a restaurant in a country club,” OP began. “I got in a heated argument with my supervisor when he went off at me for loosening my corset while I was on break....

Season 4 of The Crown depicts the former British Prime Minister and the queen, played by Olivia Colman, at odds over class, work ethic and royal tradition. The Conservative politician, played by Gillian Anderson, cuts close to the bone in one conversation, saying she had sacked ministers whose “privilege and entitlement” meant they “lacked grit.” The real life differences between the two female leaders at the top of British society during the 1980s are laid out in the journals of Kenneth Rose, a newspaper diarist who moved in royal circles....

One of the principal events that took place this year alongside the official separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, was the devastating fire that destroyed large parts of the monarch’s beloved home, Windsor Castle.

As a freedom fighter a generation ago, Mugabe battled both the white rulers of colonial Rhodesia and African rivals for political power in what became independent Zimbabwe. He won the presidency in 1980 and has clung to power ever since, through economic decline, corruption and ugly violence against both white farmers and African political opponents. This weekend, Mugabe faces a presidential election he probably cannot win if he fights fairly....

Although viewers will probably have to wait a year for the fifth season on Hulu, the cast and crew have already been dropping hints about what could happen next. What we know about ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 5 Season 5 of the show based on Margaret Atwood’s novel was announced back in December 2020, before the fourth season had even started.

Obviously, this news sent social media into a Dwight-level freakout that even Kevin’s chili couldn’t possibly calm down. “I’m excited to be working with my best friend Angela Kinsey. So many memories are flooding in as we go back and watch the episodes—many of which I haven’t seen since they aired,” Fischer said in the press release announcing the podcast. “As we close in on the 15th anniversary of the show, it seemed like a great time to share our stories and behind-the-scenes trivia with fans,” she continued....

NEWSWEEK has learned that when the CIA showed the material to a team of top nuclear-weapons experts, they “practically fainted.” Chinese scientists routinely used phrases, descriptions and concepts that came straight out of U.S. weapons labs. “The Chinese penetration is total,” says an official close to the investigation. “They are deep, deep into the labs’ black programs.” U.S. officials believe that China may have acquired design information over the last two decades about seven U....

The video, originally filmed by Twitter user @prof_dong, was posted to the site on Tuesday by Kira (@kirawontmiss), who wrote: “What the hell is going on in this country?” It has amassed over 12.8 million views and thousands of replies from stunned viewers, many of whom said the scene looked like something from The Purge—a dystopian film series.

Of course, characters like Galadriel and Elrond take center stage in the Prime Video prequel and villain Sauron also plays a part in the series, but there’s one character who seems to be more than meets the eye: The Stranger. Played by Daniel Weyman, The Stranger appears at the end of Episode 1, when he is discovered at the heart of a crater by Harfoot Nori (Markella Kavenagh), but he remains largely a mystery....

It’s a tremendous change for the better because they’ve gone through a period when they attacked and denigrated me constantly. Apparently under pressure from radicals, the ANC decided to make me one of their main agenda points and to try and ruin my credibility. They did not succeed, and I think they’re starting to realize it was a mistake. The international community is telling them it is folly to walk the road of conflict and to go ahead with the vast mass-action campaigns they have planned....

Director James Gunn says, “I just think of it as itself. I think it’s for others to define it however they want. If somebody wants to call it a sequel, cool. A reboot? That’s fine, too. People have also called it a ‘rebootquel.’” Although a box office success, the 2016 movie was savaged by critics. Director David Ayer wanted to make an intense superhero drama like Christopher Nolan’s three Batman movies; the studio wanted a violent action comedy....

Klobuchar did not directly answer Hostin’s question about prosecuting police. Instead, the Democratic presidential candidate told Hostin that while there is systematic racism in the criminal justice system, she is still proud of the work she did going after white-collar criminals, as well as a successful drug court, decreasing the number of incarcerated African Americans by 12 percent and diversifying her office. Klobuchar also referenced her work on the First Step Act, which helps people prepare for jobs and classes after spending time in prison and also reduces prison sentences, as an example of work she’s done to fight systemic racism....
